Ups and downs
30 Sept, 06
Hello hello, what’s up? It’s been a while since I last updated. Wow, September’s nearly over. Time flies, doesn’t it?
This week I had ups and downs. First of all, I’m gonna tell you one of the rare ‘ups’. It is definitely the time I met Melissa. Tuesday afternoon(26th), I finally met her. As you can guess, I was so excited all the day and the night before, even since I got in NZ. :-D In the morning when I woke up, I did prey that time could go by faster that day. LOL Around the noon, I was too happy to believe that I really was gonna see her and to stand sitting in a class. It was quite hard to concentrate on anything that day. LOL I really wanted to bunk school that day. Maybe I should have? Hehehe, just kidding. でも、マジでサボりたかったかも。 In the afternoon class, we watched ‘Whale Rider’ and the class ran long(!!OMG!!), so I was a bit late. So sorry, Melissa. :-( One of the things I loathe is that I have to make somebody wait for me. For real. When I got in the mall, I spotted her soon as she hasn’t changed. She’s ‘めっちゃキレイ’. I recognized her at the first sight. ;-) It was really great to catch up with friends I haven’t seen for a long time. That brings me back lots of great memories from the last past. :-) We went to a café called ‘Coffee Culture’ near the end of the mall. It’s a new one since I hadn’t been there last time. Both Melissa and I had a piece of cheese cake. It was so good. Or it was good because I had that with her. Hehehe. The latter one makes more sense to me. ;-) There, we talked what we’ve been up to and stuff like that a lot even though we’ve been in touch. I might’ve talked things I already told her in e-mails. I hope she didn’t mind. I was so pleased to meet her, eh. Time passed really fast. 1,000 times faster than it did at school, plus the night before. :-) How come do I feel like that? And how come does monotonous time make me feel as though even the minute hand didn’t tick?
Well, now I’ll show you some ‘downs’. First of all, I had a test on Monday which no one knew about. So it was kinda surprise test for us. We did reading, listening, writing and speaking. Listening and speaking were actually easy. On the other hand, reading was disastrous. I was doing that on a good pace, at least I thought like that. However, when the teacher said, “You have 5 mins”, my watch said, “Still 9 mins to go”. I was like, “OMG, what the hell is going on?” Oh well… It is no use crying over spilt milk. :-( Have to face the fact. I ended up guessing some of them, but somehow I got 74% in reading, which was quite surprising result as I didn’t have any confidence in it. Down and up. A bit of good news is that speaking 93%, listening 92% and writing 4.4 out of 5.0. Now that I knew my weak point, I can focus on that part. :-) Good to know for taking IELTS in the near future. I’ll make use of that. ;-)
This week, we had an international shared lunch at school. It was awesome. There were heaps of dishes on tables. Mouth-watering foods!! There were very interesting foods from countries such as Korea, Thailand, Taiwan, etc. I love Korean food!! They were so good. :-P Easily imagined, I ate too much to breathe. Hahaha. The worst thing was… Should I say that? Well… it was ‘vegemite’. It tasted like salty, rotten something. I can’t find words to describe it. After eating it, I felt kinda sick. LOL That was the very moment I decided not to eat it ever again. :-/ Oh, I made about 30 ‘Onigiri’, but they were all gone when I went to fetch one. Hmm, I find tuna-mayonnaise was probably a good choice. Thanks to Melissa and Kirstie who gave me an idea. Cheers!!
Have you ever experienced a time when you can’t express yourself in a different language? That happened to me this week. It was so weird cos I couldn’t hear what people saying, couldn’t say what I’d like to say, either. I felt like as though I had gone mad or I’d been in a wrong place!! Seriously I got confused and contemplated what to do, but soon I found it easier just let it go. Since that had happened to me before, and at that time, there had been no way dealing with. Well, that happens from time to time.
Okay, as it’s a bit late here, I wanna stop here today. But before that, I’ll write down the worst ‘down’ of this week. I got a cold and still have it. I have a sore throat… This sUcKs!!
