oh another post in too many days. working in school and interacting w ppl has made me feel that my lack of mandarin standard is quite a handicap. why am i not effectively bilingual?? no, wait. the better question is, why does watching 7pm channel 8 serials not make me a better mandarin speaker? unless... unless, i've been wasting my time all this while? =) in any case, i am so glad that i've stopped working. i realise that 11 days til the flight is NOT Enough Time for me to do everything i want to. it's a question of managing time and getting enough rest at the same time, which can be quite a pain in the ass.
and im very very afraid that i can't pack all the clothesshoesbags and miscellany that i wanna bring back to london! only 20kg leh. cos the miserly sponsor of mine *** has decided it will not pay a few hundred more for the student air ticket. 10 more kg can pack 3 pairs more shoes, more sambal belachan, 2 more coats, 1 more textbook, 10 000 more sanitary pads and 1200 more pen refills, etc. haha ok the last 2 items is an old joke. the point is, wats a few hundred when you're spending so much on me already?? ok tax-payers don't shoot me. like zy said i may as well not bring so much junk since i'll be "replenishing my stock" (euphemistic term for "spending beyond the realm of human possibility") anyway.
in case u guys don't know yet, i'm flying off on the 14th of this month at night. my mum has already cried once over my impending departure (a bit premature i know), but at least there are some things that won't change- thankfully. dear mummy, i will miss you the mostest. all the food comes second after you!!
