“konichiwa”
hello world;
met a few “bogans” some days ago while on a school field trip; there we were, innocent asians crossing the road at a traffic light like law-abiding international students.. and they rolled their car window down and shouted “konichiwa!” acts of immaturity — we all learn to live with some. in fact, i’d take it as a compliment, tis better to be mistaken as a Japanese than, you know, an AT. but i secretly think they can’t tell asians apart and they might just think “konichiwa” is chinese.
would i say i’m affected by it? nah not really. this must be karma for all the AT jokes we used to make in Singapore. who knew i’d one day be labelled as one. ohwell. sometimes it really is a blessing to be staying with some guys. added security. heh.
in the blink of an eye (or maybe the lack of, since i haven’t really been sleeping all that much) the 6th week of school is already ending. before i know it, the 2nd semester will be over and that will mark the end of my first academic year in Tassie. time really whizzes by when you’re not paying much attention to it, huh? like fine sand slipping through your fingers.. you can’t help but wonder where all the time’s gone.
just had a really awesome night at some friends’ place for a half-FOCUS, almost-all-Asian gathering. i really do enjoy the company of the FOCUS group; they’ve been like a second family away from home. a church family. it’s always good to be in the company of Christian friends..
well, life’s been pretty great here in Tassie; half of me can’t wait to get back to Singapore, but there’s a part of me that really likes it here and wants to stay. humans. forever wanting the best of all worlds. it’s been pretty slack, though, and i must buck up, and find more time to spend on spiritual things.
i hope everyone in Singapore’s doing fine, and hopefully i’ll get to catchup with everyone when i’m back home.
loves. <3
Some guy came up to me, said “ni hao!” and wanted to shake my hand. But I walked away
way it sounds dangerous where you are, too! be careful okay! ):
