look! look! itsfunny looking INDIAN people!

ok. im b.o.r.e.d.. ive got an hour to kill ( thats how long its gonna take for grey's anatomy to finish downloading )

im an staaarving.... but im pretty sure that subway does not have free wifi excess... so am just stuck for awhile on the increasingly uncomfortable chair...


ok anyyyyyywaaaay. i have remembered something funny! lemme tell u! lemme tell uu!

ok i hope i havent posted anything about this before.. if i have then too bad :P

sooo in dec the cousins and I ( plus lester) took a trip to Langkawi...

had an awesome time! berns and I indulged in some massage therapy time... where she was in the same room as me and kept squealing every time they so much as touched her toes... i only HAD to laugh when they approached my ultimate ticklish spot ( one that will not be mentioned)

berns ,les and I watched THE MOST AWESOME sunset ever while sitting on the beach sipping long island tea..... we agreed it was the best 12 mins of the trip.

we had fun swimmin sessions. drunk kareoke sessions. parasailing. jetskiing.lots of alcohol and chocolates! the travelling was a bitch though... but it turned out alright..

sooo back to my point. one of the evenings, amanda and I were at the beach... trying to get a glimpse of the sunset, but we were too late ( first day) and waiting for the other 3... we started camwhoring... suddenly i noticed this guy with a video camera that was aimed at us, so i asked amanda, is he taking a video of us?? looks like it right?

then he noticed that we noticed and he said hello and waved... camera still in hand.. i smiled and we turned away... then he called out to us... heeelo and continued waving and aiming that thing at us...

then he walked over... and a lady joined him... and they started trying to talk to us.. clearly they werent malaysians... started speaking in Mandrin at top speed.. smiling lots..

they : ( mandrin words)
we : we malaysians
they: ahhh Malaaaysiaa?
we: yes we are from here.. where are u guys from?
they: ( mandrin )
we: umm.. holiday?? taiwan? hongkong? china??
they: ahhh... china china!

then pointed their camera at us... and started taking pictures of us... they seeemed veery excited.
we felt a little awkward and amanda tried to show them that they shud be in the picture too..

so they all brought their little cameras.. like 3 in total... the 2 of them had shouted excitedly to their friends who were abit farther away while pointing as us...

so they all came... 6 in total... and took turns taking pictures of us... we were literally on display... one lady was so excited she was jumping... and clapping her hands... it was a little strange..
then we realised.. that.. omg.. this people have not see any indian people up close before... thats why they were so excited..

me and amanda quickly escaped though... it felt alittle straneg being on display like that..

was a weird experience... les and cal came soon after.. they had missed all the good fun!

greaaaaaaat! download got slower, it is now an hour and 50 mins... yay! i can sit here hunched and hungry.. this shud be fun..... zzzz

teleportation

here I am, sitting on an uncomfortable chair with no back support at the Melbourne Airport,
ive become so familiar with this place that i didnt even have to look for signs to point me in the right direction this time, i just walked straight out here and connected my laptop in, after being here for the 6th time. novelty has definitely worn out.

only upside to this is that i get to download at a pretty good speed. the connection isnt as good as it can be though.. i dont know which part of the airport id have to sit at to see all 5 bars green, i figured that walking around with my laptop open tryin to detect stringer signals is pushing it abit to far...

plus there are like a million people here now.. they might look at my funny, if they dont already!

to be honest... im not all that excited to be going home... i was when i booked my ticket.. but now that the time has come..... im not so sure... its temp though... i felt the same in dec...
but once i touch down on malaysian ground... ill be all.. woooooooooot!!! HOME!!

thing is, ive gotten settled in... and becoming familiar with my undeniably boring routine... and everytime i have to leave kl, i sit in bed depressed for a week or so wishing i could *click* and teleport back home...

but its definitely gonna be worth it... : )

seeee ya soooooooon!

H.A.V.E

saluuuuut,

ok here is a little lesson for you..

i have
you have
we have
they have
he/she has

I sense a common factor here.. h.a.v.e apart from the exceptional has...
english = easy

now the french people apparently dont want anyone to learn their language as they have made it veeeery veeery difficult, i recently found a few people in my class who have attempted the subject before and failed!

ahh my confidence has never been better

anyway, back to my lesson.

this is how the french do it

i have : j'ai
you have : tu as
we have : nous avons
you(pluriel) have : vous avez
he/she has : il/elle a
they have : ils/elles ont

there is NO common word! how ridiculous.. and who would have thought that chairs,books,tables and any other objects in general would have to be classified as masculine/feminine?

i still am enjoying my french class though.... just need to make sure I dont fail it

i spent about 2 hours doing an online quiz today whereby i had to listen to audio recordings in french and then answer the quiz accordingly..
the pluriels really kill you... honestly it is so difficult to tell the diff between cashier and cashiers both pronounced ( ka-hier).

this is blog post no 4 this year... one blog per month... i should just do 12 and get over with it then wait for next yeaaar! whooop

people dont seem to blog much anymore..ive nothing to read online! so im posting my own so i can read it.

gotta go get fat and happy on chocolate kids...

one of te first sentences i memorized in French.. j'aime le chocolat ( le = masculine btw) it must be why girls like it.

a bientot!
