Marissa February 20 ?哈哈好吧为了欣子我现在用中文写一下。。。我现在在我的姐姐的大学。。。我们跟一个日本朋友要找一找在这里一家房子。所以现在很忙以为只有一个星期然后要开始大学。。。害怕!最近有很多不太好的事,也有很好的事。。我的韩国朋友快要来我的那边,要学习英语, 因为那个我很高兴。所以虽然今天发生很伤心的事情但是我想起来我朋友快要来的时候让我开心。
对不起我现在的心情不太好所以等以后再写。。。 February 18 randomnnessSaturday, approximately one week to go before the start of uni!! ekk now thta's scary, re-entering the world of english speakers, acedemia and the like...considering that someone recently asked me what law subjects I have already completed to which I could not even name one, well that's something I should be worried about...Today I started to tidy up my room, and also my suitcase...ok ok I admit it I still haven't properly unpacked my suitcase, and yes I did arrive back last month...is that bad?hmm talk about procrastination Other then that nothing else much to report, I drove to Chermside to pick up my little sister, first time I have driven so far in ages, and it was scary with the fancy new road the put in, really confused the hell out of me! Little sis and I have dinner at Chermside, well had maccas, took bloody ages and to top it off a group of bordering on anorexic private school teenage girls were behind me while waiting to be served, grr had to resist the urge to slap them all down, whats with teenagers today anyway?haah need some good ole fashioned education i say! anyhoo thats it for now, if anything exciting happens ill be sure to let you all know...in the unlikely event that is~!

by E.E Cummings~ January 23 One night in Malaysia!Hello people, well as I may or may not have mentioned, on my way back to aus I was fortunate to get one night in Malaysia, Kuala Lumpar...IT WAS AWESOME! hehe well a nice surprise considering my hell getting to the airport in guangzhou...I went by myself and wrapped my bags...then I went to check them in but they were 10 kg over!!! I nealry cried, so I had to carry my bags back to the wrapping lady, undo the ties, throw away alot of things (my white high heels!!) and re-weigh my bags, and go back to the wraping lady and re-wrap my luggaege...lucky the lady at malaysian airlines was nice cus i was stil like 2 kg over but she let me in, probably due to the fact she watched me running around and sitting in the middle of the airport throwing away my beloved things....i ran to the customs and just got on the plane..but we didnt take off for ages since the engines wouldn't start...yea great hey-_- but on the plane got 3 seats to myself so awesome! watched cool movies hee and got to malaysia no probs...after arriving i was taken by shutle bus to my hotel..HOLIDAY INN! wahoo!!! bonus! i was so excited. i explored the whole hotel and took heaps of pics after that chilled out in my room with two beds to myself and watced tv(bruce lee story hehe and random mtv..i think the hosts go to my uni!so weird), annoyed the reception lady with my random phone calls and ordered room service, just a pine apple juice hehe, but hey... it was totally awesome!the only bad thing was got my wake up call at 5am!!!i love malaysia, from what i saw of it ,seems so modern and clean! hope i can go back again... An almost perfect ending...!你们好,我在广州的最后天真的奇怪。。我跟cassey一起去一个日本餐厅,在那我们吃得很多,我没骗你们,我们吃完以后好像我要吐的感觉哈哈!然后我们遇到很不好的事情,在我的飞机公司他们说了我不可以订我的酒店。。。所以我和cassey大概两三个小时以至在他们的办公室。我和cassey骂对那个sta travel lady。她真的笨!我哭了因为中国的职员真没有用!然后我们一起去了北京路,最后的买东西。回家以后cassey说我可以在她的家呆晚上,所以我们一起很快的打扫我的房间。。。我退房的时候真的是个奇迹,我走过去新楼的时候我的感觉不好因为我以为我要告别的人都不在。。。但是我想搞别的人都见到了!我下楼的时候,见到modar,laoban,kazaksan boy。。我走过去新楼的时间到san woo, 和两个韩国的朋友。最奇诡的是我走过去南门的是我见到了lucy!!!我以为她已经不在广州!所以虽然早上不好我退房的时候真的运气。so lucky****
my last day in guangzhou was really weird..cassey helped my post a 15kg box back to australia, it was so eavy! the lady was laughing at me cus i had some really weird stuff in their, but hey i couldn't leave my bunny in china! i wanted to take my hello kitty pillow too! but cassey wouldnt let me...TT for lunch i went with my friend cassey to a japanese resturant and we practically ate the whole store! i felt like spewing when we left heheh after that we went to the malaysian airlines office to get my hotel tiket...to my dismay they said they couldnt book it for me and then I spent the next 2 or 3 hours at the office on the phone to this stupid travel agency...grrr we gave up and went to beijing road to do some last minute shopping...my mood was not very good! after that we were so dead so went back to my room, cassey said i could stay at her house so we quickly packed my stuff and i turned in my key,..so sad! ,my lovel room 502*^^ it was so strange because i was sa cus i thought i wouldnt be able to say good bye to the people i wanted to but on the way to return my key i met them all randomly on the path!!!! it was a miracle^^ so that night i said goodbye to my friends and left my room...as a strange feelin~but was lucky in the end:) January 15 dreaming...我现在应该睡觉。。。。但是我要准备我回国的事。。。太紧张。。好像噩梦。我不知道为什么但是现在我的感觉就是我是个梦中人。有很多事。。。但是我需要睡觉,今天周喜给我她的被子,我用那个被子的时候好像是我在她们的房间。让我更放松一点,希望我也可以做很好的梦,在梦里可以跟朋友们再见面。。。 再见。。。Today was one of the hardest days of my life so far. my roommate, and two of my best friends here in Guangzhou returned home to Korea. Last night I went to sleep about 4am, just couldn't sleep I guess. This morning I watched as my roommate left, and then went to help with Zhou Xi and Shan Li's luggage.Not long after they left in a taxi for the airport...Going back to my room was the weirdest feeling in the world, seeing my roomates bed and desk bare. I cant really explain the feeling just kind of numb and empty...As you know this has been my like now for 6 months, and to walk into this empty room is just...Luckily Yang Yi my chinese friend was here to take me out shopping, better then staying at home I guess, but while we were shopping I kept here familiar songs, reminding me of the times I had with my friends here, every bloody song reminded me of something! Gosh, it was horrible nearly burst out crying in the middle of KFC! When I came back from shopping I took a moment to look at the building which Juhee, Shanli and Meili lived...I could see there balcony door open, so weird this feeling just expecting them to come walking down any moment or give me a call saying 'hey im outside xiao mai bu, come over'...its a total ghost town..for 6 months we lived together and in one day everything has completely changed. I realy have so much to say but no way to say it. But one thing that cheered me up was when Yang Yi told me something special about "chinese good bye"...which is 再见, translated into english this means not goodbye, but see you again...and so to all my friends in Guangzhou, 再见 I will see you all again, somewhere in the world... January 12 The end of the journey...好久没写,是我的错误但是现在已经没有办法所以后悔没有用。。。我今天感冒了!真倒霉因为我的朋友们都要马上回国所以我们在一起的时间很少,我不要浪费时间,但是我真不舒服呀。我最近回忆2005的事情,这学期真比我的想象的更有意思,认识了很多朋友们从不同的国家。。。我自己也感觉我变了。。现在我是中国人吗?哈哈不可以那样说但是你知道我的意思。在中大的最后的朋友们这星期六要回国。那时候希望会受得了。。。等着看吧。。。 September 11 For V!Hi Vanessa this is a special translation for you! basically I said it's
hard to live in China because I can't see my best friend, and that
makes me so sad!!!and hmm I will read it again and see if there is any
other relevant stuff to translate...haha I talk to much crap!!!! September 10 欣子走了。。。三天以前我的朋友(事实上我的妹妹:))走了。。。她去德国了。当然我伤心了。不知道什么时候能再见面。。。在星期三晚上我收到sms
。欣子告诉我她就去上海,and said our final goodbye...我也有最后的哭,
但是我肯定以后我会见面。。。谁知道。。可能我搬家了。。我想一想,如果有机会,我要住在广州。。。有时候很伤心,现在我有最好的朋友在澳大利亚也在中
国。。住在中国的话不能看我的家人也最好的朋友Vanessa。但是住在澳洲的话不能看我的中国朋友。我觉得真的没办法。想一想有时候生活很辛苦,认识很
多最好的人,但是当然我们的情况都不一样,所以我跟有一些最好朋友一起的时候真的不够。只要希望欣子往不记我谢谢你欣子给我很多帮忙,真的不知道感谢你才
好,真的。Untill we meet again*! oh...很抱歉,不知道我的汉字写错了还是对了,但是希望你明白得了我大概的意思。 September 09 Combat rolls and palm trees!Last night was an eventful night, well a hilarious night I must
say...Lucy (my friend from Scotland) and myself were suppose to have
dinner with a nice french girl from our dormitory...however we were
quite hungry and when she told us there would be 9 more people eating
with us we thought we'd go to McDonalds instead..opps ! I know, but
it's right across the road and yeah...that's my excuse so deal with it!
Anyway at McDonalds I seriously nearly died from laughter, just
everything Lucy says makes me laugh, just had to be there I
guess..Anyway on our way back to the dormitory Lucy and I spotted the
french people and since we felt so bad for ditching them we were trying
to find a way to avoid them...I suggested hiding in the palm trees but
then I thought ok what if they come through this path...what are we
suppose to say???Oh hi guys...just admiring the,ah, palm trees...care
to join??? Lucy suggested breaking off a palm leaf and sticking it to
the backs of our heads while proceeding to do a army roll across the
path....yeah in the end we just decided it was best to brave it
and say hi...haha..On the way upstairs Lucy helped me carry my huge ass
bottle of water, well actually we were laughing so hard that we managed
2 steps before we dropped the bottle...thankfully our english friend
Stewart came carried it for us...otherwise goodbye water.Anyway that
was my night.... ta ta! September 04 La La lA!La la la it's raining outside and I thought I'd take a break from my
studies...Seriously my brain is bout to explode so many new characters
to learn!!!but yea nothing much interesting to tell, yesterday we went
on a 'tour' of Guangzhou, it was pretty lame, well actually I wouldnt
know since when we arrived at Chen Family Temp me and my friend Micheal
(german boy) ran away, haha no actually we asked to leave. So we took
the metro back to uni and pigged out on McDonalds, mmmm so good, and
then went back to the dormitory and watched 'Troy". When everyone else
got back me and Micheal laughed at them mwhahah kinda mean but hey all
in good fun. Anywayyyy so tired, since stayed up till 5am again
chatting, man some of the people here are just too hilarious I can't
stop laughing...like the other night me, katy(aussie girl), david
(usa guy), micheal and stew (english guy) went to dinner and somehow
ended up in a random karaoke hotel competition, it was bloody funny. It
was so random all us foriengers walked in and seriously the whole
audience turned around and watched us, and during the contest David, a
huge tall african american was singing along and waving banners and
ssooo funny. and then we went to starbucks and me and Katy nearly spat
our drinks out when Stew did his"mad cow disease" face...omg so funny
anways time for study! Ta ta August 28 Success!Just want to say congratulations to my first student of bike riding Xin
Zi! So happy to say that after many long hours she can now ride around
her apartment garden! YAY! Anyway for those of you who don't know Xin
Zi is an awesome girl who I have been living with previous to comming
to the dormitory. She is 16/17 student who goes to the top school in
Guang Dong because she is one smart girl! Anyway she is going to
Germany in a couple of days for an exchange, like me!, however one big
problem...she has to ride a bike to school...and why may you ask is
that a problem? well because she has never riden a bike! yea so I took
it upon myself to teach her...and after approximately 27 crashes
progress was made! Felt so proud :) But sad to say I didnt get to see
her riding around the garden..oh well. I hope I didn't traumatise her,
with my excellent teaching skills and all eg. "yea just sit on the bike
and pedal...." pure genius I say! well im off, ive caught a cold, hmm
guess i ll have to go on a mission to find some medicine...great,
where's mum when I need her!!! Hoo Roo dwarf spotted!hello well today was a random day indeed. Went to sleep at 5am because
I spotted a random group of students sitting outside the dormitory and
decided to introduce myself. There were guys from Russia, Germany,
Boliva, Korea, Maritius, Poland and a girl from Scotland. We had fun
talking in Chinese, since the Korean guys could'nt speak english we had
to use it. So strange but last night my chinese was so "more better"
(hehe chinese english). The guys were also teaching us to say words in
spanish "gracias" etc and the guy from Poland was so funny he had to
much 白酒。。。 Me and the Scotish girl could'nt stop laughing at him.
Anyway after lunch I took the Scotish girl to Beijing Road, a shopping
strip, and we had fun looking at the chinese fashion. So random today
she told me she was so bored one day she started making theories about
chinese dwarf people, and how she wondered if they were shorter then
western dwarf people...i know random! But...! Tonight after dinner
guess what I spotted...a chinese dwarf person! it was so bizarre....yea
i know your probably think so what...but yea anyway...enough of that
I'm off to sleep August 24 SORRY Vanessa!Vanessa, I am so sorry that you waited soo long for me to come
online....basically the afternoon went like this...met up with person,
kept saying I need to make an important phone call to Australia, and
met with the reply "oh yes no problem"...half and hour later, I have to
go now..."ok yes no problem"...1 hour later..I NEED to GO...NOW! Once I
got back to the dormitory, sorry but I can't quite yet call it "home",
I asked the receptionist in broken chinese for my mosquito net hanger
thingy...but let me first say that my friend asked for it yesterday
afternoon, and I asked for it this morning and was assured it would be
here tonight...so tonight when I asked...oh no sorry not here, come
back tomorrow...WHAT the HELL! arrggh also what really pissed me off
was that I have to go to hospital and do tests for my VISA...I hate
VISAS! anyway enough winging this is my attempted apology to my bestest
buddy...sorry V! I wish you could come to China for one day and see
that everything here takes a million times longer...PERFECT
example...today Xin Zi and her teacher and my roommate took me to the
bank...we waited ages, and there was one desk free...do you know what
the bank employee was doing? No, he was not serving anyone, in fact he
wasn't even trying to look busy, he was sitting at his desk and
smiling...smiling at no one at all! FREAK out! That's the way things
here are I guess...'sigh' the adventure begins....Hi everybody, well just me for now as I haven't told any one I now have
a 'myspace', aren't I so cool...Yea well for those of you who don't
know I have been living in China now for two months...It is so strange,
honestly still feels so unreal! I'm in China???...anyway...yesterday I
moved onto Zhong Shan campus, and I'm still kinda in shock. Ok I admit
it, I may be 19 years old but I haven't really ever needed to fully
look after my own self eg. wash my own clothes, cook food etc...Now I'm
living in dormitory. A part of me just wants to vege out and do
nothing, but now I guess I've got to face reality...It's time for me to
grow up. I guess that's why I have been feeling depressed a bit since
yesterday, I feel like I have to act like an adult now, but am I
ready??Can I face the challenge of daily chores such as washing my
clothes??? I know some people may find it pathetic, I know Xin Zi
does!, but it was just the way I grew up, everything was done for
me...and now I have to learn to do it myself. That's why I chose to
come to China I guess just to force myself to become independant...Well
let's just hope for all our sakes that I don't burn down Zhong Shan
University in the process!! ahhhh that's enough rambling for one day... |
