I've finally finished my Chinese course. I can't believe that it's so fast..7 months of classes have ended. No more going to Chinese class, and someone just reminded me that I'm 3 weeks away from leaving (which reminds me I haven't done my packing). Anyway, I didn't think I'd say this last time, but I really do miss my Chinese class. The teachers which are really helpful and nice, interesting and funny class conversations, eating together at the coffeeshop downstairs (and being late for classes haha), and of course, my wonderful classmates. I think I'm quite lucky to get such a wonderful bunch of people as my classmates this time, partly because there're many Indonesians and they're only slightly older than me. I think we're a really close class, considering the circumstances. We did so many things together as a class, like having lunch, bbq, bowling, pool, dinner, taking neoprint, and the ktv-ing last night. Last night was really fun and I was almost in tears when I had to leave early. They're gonna have another outing tonight, but I probably won't be able to go, so last night was the last time I'd probably see most of them. I hope we can all still keep in touch. At least the Indonesian gang have promised to meet up when we're all back in Jakarta. Can't wait for that.

On a sidenote, my Chinese exams this week were ok. Actually, I don't really care much, cos exams wasn't the purpose of me studying Chinese. But then again, if I do badly, I'd feel bad cos I'd feel like I've wasted my parents' money. And I met up with Ai Lian and Sin Hui yesterday. It was wonderful seeing them again. Haven't seen them in a while. We had a lot of catching up to do. After hearing their orientation stories, I can't help but wonder how mine is gonna be like. I hope I can fit in there, in a society with such a different culture. I'm just worried that if I don't do certain things that I don't want to, I'm gonna be perceived as an antisocial. Or rather, as an outcast. It's gonna be hard to change someone's initial impression of you. Oh well.. no use worrying I guess.

On another sidenote, I want to know my roommate badly. I want to know if she's American (most likely) or Asian or American Chinese, etc. And there's this website called the facebook, where maybe you can find her pix and profile or something. I know, it doesn't make much of a difference whether you know or you don't know your roommate early. But I just want to know. I think I should call them to ask, but I'm too lazy to call. But since I have to fax something over there tonight, I think I may as well call.

Ok I think I'm getting quite crappy and rambly again. My cousins from Surabaya are staying over here. I'm not really close to them cos we seldom meet, but I think it's quite bad not to talk to your cousins at all. Which is why I think I should go watch movie with them and my bro tonight.

Oh well..I think I'm falling sick. Feeling feverish. I think it's cos of the KTV last night. I hope I'm ok. Cos now I'm going off to go KTV with Sin Hui (finally!). Oh ya I managed to sing Lao Shu Ai Da Mi haha, the chinese characters aren't that hard. And tried to sing An Jing, but there're still words I couldn't read haha.

Paint my love
You should paint my love
It's the picture of a thousand sunsets
It's the freedom of a thousand doves
Baby you should paint my love
