my clique!!! :)
i apologize for the lack of updates... actually i still have alot to write about and post lotsa pictures too but i've just been too lazy and busy recently. i will do them soon... i hope!anyway, i finally kinda have a clique after 1 month plus here!! well.. it's kinda.. more like my gang of people that stay here in Ida which is where i live. we are like the german-mandarin speaking clique. cuz we only either speak german/mandarin and english. haha!
here is part of my clique.. there's still kinda like 2 more people in it... this austrian and another taiwanese guy, but they weren't in this picture. anyway i know these people better... like we hang out more often. still getting to know the little austrian boy. haha.
lewis (taipei, taiwan), dennis (hamburg, germany), alex (cologne, germany), me, kelly (hongkong), vicky (hongkong)i love group shots!! :) and this picture is nice... there's the 2 hongkong girls, one taiwan guy, and the other two are germans.
i'm so glad that my efforts into picking up cantonese from hongkong dramas has not gone down the drain! it's so much easier for me to understand and communicate with the hk girls! and like because the taiwanese don't understand cantonese, the three of us often communicate in cantonese and talk about small jokes and secrets between us. it's alot of fun... to just have stuff you wanna be said between girls! :) and the taiwanese speak their taiwanese too which i understand because i'm hokkien! but they don't really speak that because most of the time they are just comfortable with mandarin. but i must be so ashamed to admit that my hokkien has really worsened by quite a fair bit because a recent attempt trying to exhibit my ability in the dialect ended up with many bits and pieces of cantonese coming out in my sentences. so embarrassing.
anyway i would still say that we are starting to get to know each other more... like at least i'm trying to get to know the austrian guy more... the rest i'm quite shou already... but still, getting more shou la.
that's about it la.. my life is quite routine now... seeing these people everyday... and well, going to school, cooking, buying groceries, playing, talking, laughing... haha. i have exams next week... sighs. i'm so dead. two 100% exams!! i really hope i pass because the prof is known for failing half the class, without closing one eye for exchange students so i'm quite dead because both papers are from the same prof... sighs. I HOPE I PASS!!! PLEASE!!!!
