The highlight of this sem? week?

I don't know. You decide.

Have you ever met someone you barely knew and the next thing you know you're friends? Well, I guess that happens everytime we meet new people. But, I'm talking about making new friends in the space of 30 seconds in one tutorial.

I'm usually not the talker and neither do I like to LISTEN IN on others' conversations... but just so happen this Aussie guy was talking abt the lecture we had earlier and because I couldn't resist it, I asked "Which lecture are you talking about?" And to my surprise, he turned back (while entering our tute room) and answered me :) Woot! That's a good sign! He's talking to me???? Like, hello??? *brb pinching myself*



When we finally entered the tute room, I sat down at the back of him.. but then figured that I'd like to sit closer so I could actually catch what my lecturer is saying considering his accent sometimes makes us go "HUH?" I thought the American accent shouldn't be too difficult! It's as if his accent is more difficult than the Australian accent!  The OZ accent can be a challenge because it leans towards more of a British accent. Actually, you haven't heard the NZ accent yet. Everytime Bernadine and Hilary and Uncle Pete come back, it is a challenge (in a good way) not only because their accents are thick but because our PROFICIENCY IN ENGLISH is put to the test. You really have to listen closely to what they're saying in order for you to UNDERSTAND what they're asking you. 

Which is why I sat CLOSER  (next to that Australian guy) so that NUMBER ONE: we can talk to each other and NUMBER TWO: I don't have to "HUH" so much.

Surprisingly, he and his other Australian mates were quite friendly. The Aussie guy spent time talking to me, the usual stuff and I'm like... Sorry, didn't get your name??? >.< *paiseh Asian/Chinese...Thank God my parents gave me an English-sounding name so that I don't have to come up with my OWN just so it would be easier for them to remember.  I have a very easy-to-remember name, so easy that ALL my lecturers don't have trouble with it after hearing it for the first time. Even if they EVER get it wrong, they can somehow sense that No, there's something not quite right abt that name. HAHAHAHA, hilarious-lah. (Guess who that lecturer is?)

Guess what? we're group mates for presentations! Eh, you people better make sure you work together with me, okay??? PLEASE, I BEG YOU. This is my final sem. PLS make my last the BEST! Oh-so-cliche-lah-kan???


Ahhhhh!  I'm just jumping around from Aussie guy to my cousins, accents and what-not. Aiyayaya not a very good writer.

Siggh, never mind. At least I know now that I have new friends froom Australia!!!!!!! * cheh, so perasanlah*
