the day that has made the difference

1/7/07 was a memorable day for me. My registration day at Cendana College. Felt quite helpless there as I din know what to do 1st n next. I was asked to put my name in the last column of a table which had already 5 names written on it. Glad to c that all r Chinese there. hehe. I checked in the room with a clumsy look with parents. Sneezed more than 10x in cleaning the bed and the locker. Shit…Did shopping in SACC. Made a conclusion: KLCC is the sky. SACC is the land. After that its was the time to wave goodbye with parents and brother and his gf who were waiting inside the black car outside. I din steal the last few steps walking out to the entrance with parents as I know my tear-bearing kungfu not reach home. A day b4 was still together in De Palma Hotel in section 20. Long time I had not been dropping tear bcoz of family dy. But this time really had to. 1st time in my life to stay in hostel. Some 400 km away from hometown. Surrounded by strangers who looked very geng. The feeling really cannot be described using pen n ink. After a while Jxxxxx(HEHE) came and ‘speaking’ to me o. I showed a stunted face, like telling him’pls give me sometime to arrange my English sentences 1st.’My old frens sure know the reason la. only use malay n mandarin n Cantonese in 18years. Suddenly ask me speaking. Where can???Then everyone started using English. I cant tahan anymore and declared that I can speak cine well only. This problem was shared by my another roommate, TTYC also(Luckily,Hehe). Hence he became my mandarin listener while still practicing ‘speaking’ with other ‘surface’ bananas. Thanks god that they were very friendly and willing to teach, guide and correct me in speaking. They dispelled my coward and slowly built up my confidence. Really thanks a lot to 5 of u. Soon after the development of the speaking culture, I discovered that we were the only group of Chinese ppl who communicated in English despite able to use mandarin. Made ppl misunderstand we were all bananas. Being a banana but duno really can speak English…Funny ehhh..but I felt even more funny when I spoke mandarin with housemates after that..what a dramatic change in life..but like it very much..will extend the culture FOREVER perhaps..
