After exams on Thursday and Friday, I had a Japanese gathering party
on Friday night. That's the one we were working hard to set up the Japanese
association group at QUT (our uni). I was the MC for the night, but honestly
I was sooo upset with my exam and report results, as bad as I might get my first
'zero' so far... uhm... Anyway, I couldn't prepare enough for the party either,
but I was told to speak both in Japanese & English... OMG! It's really hard to
shift one language to the other... Well, I tried my best but I'm sure everyone
could feel how nervous I was! Well, after all it was good we could successfully
finish our party and enjoyed meeting new friends there. phew...
On saturday night, in turn, I met some friends from foundation course.
As same as foundation times, I was surrounded by Cantonese all the time!
Some of them couldn't come yesterday and no one brought their girlfriends
as they did last year so it was only 8 people at total... We went to sunnybank and
had Shanhai cuisine, home-made style(?). It was ok. The fact that I was
hearing only Cantonese was ok too... I mean, it was what happen all the
time before so I didn't really care about that. The only difference now is that
I can speak English! hahaha. Anyway, it was good to hear what everyone is
doing because we could hardly see each other on campus.
Then this morning... my flatmate was going back to Brunei to spend a holiday
with her family. One of my friend from last night was saying that he could
help us to go to the airport so we appreciated his kindness and asked him to
send us there. It's only 10 days but that's my fairy GREAT mother and
I'm gonna miss her... hehe. Anyway, my friend was from Malaysia, and
they could speak in Malay language. Once again, I was hearing what they say,
but unfortunately I couldn't understand at all... haha. (Well, at least better
than yesterday as they mix English as well.)
These three days, I could feel being in what to call 'multicultural' country...
It was a bit funny indeed. It is something you won't see if being in Japan, at least.
Well, I would like to learn some foreign languages if I can, but maybe I need to
improve my English a little more first...
