10 days

hoho finally going to brunei! not that i'm hyped up about going there, but it's really quite interesting, isn't it, to be able to go overseas for training, especially when it's my first time. Oh well, from all the stories heard, i'm feeling a bit worried as it doesn't seem as easy as i had expected. Hmm, i shall see when i go over there!

anywayy I've been teaching japanese to my syndicate mates as we had so much free time yesterday. Can youbelieve it? We did literally -nothing- yesterday. We stayed in bunk all day long, except for meals and submission of our luggauge. So, given so much time, my friends started to pick up little phrases in japanese. Looking at them getting so excited learning japanese, i could recall the times i was like them too, absorbing as much japanese as i could. I hope their interest doesn't end there, as mine didn't end where i started, but instead carried on till today, and forever and ever.

Over the past few days, i haven't been feeling really happy about things. Looking at my friends who used to at least smile at me or initiate a conversation back in ocs, they seemed to have changed a big deal. They treat me like strangers now, and don't even bother to look at me when i walk past them. Have i changed? Or are they the ones? This is terrible.

Besides, I finished reading Murakami Haruki's Norwegian Wood within two days. I read so fast because firstly, we had so much time; secondly, it was my buddy's book and i had to return to him in two days. So i literally flipped through the pages, and tried to absorb as much storyline as possible. Well,i must say that he's a really good writerin terms of description and i really wished i had the time to read it slowly to appreciate its minute details. Other than that, the book is more pornographic than i expected it to be, talking about the life of teenagers who drift about in life.

Ok, i shall go take a nap before i get ready to move off to brunei! See you in ten days!
