In my class, all of us have to give presentations on our topic of study. I was so intimidated by the scope and depth of my journal that I grew a few years older. I have stage fright, but I think some benevolent force added courage to me today. I also got to know a few of my classmates a little better.
Turns out, Noraini’s a police officer for 8 years already! That makes a staff sergeant! How I found out? Well, she noticed a little “I can do it =)” written on my left hand! How observant of her. Then I guessed that she was in the police force and we began speaking and joking. She always tries to evade compliments and I find myself doing the same. I thought I should bring our evasive conversation to more meaningful heights. So… I started asking about why she joined the force, to which she replied: “Passion lor..” By that time, class had already ended. Till next class!
Si Jun’s learning Korean just like me! And Jason is too! As we progressed, Ronald joined the conversation. He’s a really nice person who always encourages. He presents really well, with animations and captions and the like… Today, he wore a crucifix around his neck confirming my long held suspicion that he’s a Christian. ^^ But… This is just a suspicion. We chatted a little about Korean dramas and shows, then Si Jun said she was to give a presentation in Korean tomorrow! Wow! I wanna reach her level man! Until then, I’ll be calling her Ahjumma! LOL! I’m longing for more opportunities to practice my Korean!
Oh! And there’s Kelly! Did you guess? She’s a violin player! She says she learnt violin for fun, so she doesn’t have a grade. Just like me! Hehe! Music.. What in the world! Kelly invited me to study with her too…She says studying with me, she’ll definitely get good grades. She’s obviously jesting… haha.. But I’m counting on it! I hope we really get to go out together with all the others..! And study of course!
Stephy (Stephanie)! She’s the girl in the lecture hall I shy over. When I found out by chance that she was attached, I was devastated. Not devastated devastated, but the disappointed kind. U know the kind of feeling.. “Aww… if only she knew who the true lover was” kind.. Following that, I didn’t speak with her for 3 months! Never got the chance, until today!
As usual, she was with her gang, and I was lucky to be inside. And then she said: Enchante, comment ca va, and tres bien really well! Turns out, she had lived in France for 2 months!! Ooh la la! And I was crazy over the French language!.
How do I proceed on this unfamiliar ground? I’m so used to deadlocks and stalemates.. Gosh.. How should I proceed?
Lead… I will follow. I’m so fearful…
My bag is so heavy with all those Christmas cards…
