I get bored all of a sudden, so here I am again. BLOGGING. So now what? Oh yeah. All my Indo classmates are back from Malaysia.

Students' comments:
1.Its hot and humid.
2.The things are cheap.
3.Hate the squating toilet.
4.The food was spicy.

OK. I'll forgive them as they are not used to the so non-luxurious life back there. But there is 1 conversation which kinda fueled me up. And the teacher said it IN FRONT OF ME!

Teacher's comment
I always thought that Malaysia was only SLIGHTLY developed than Indonesia but not THIS MUCH. *I was like so damn bengang*. The traffic was so good and the buildings are tall. What surprises me most is that the people back there CAN and are FLUENT in English. *OMG - look at me? Isn't it evident enough?*

Yeap! LOL. I was so shocked by the teacher's comment. WAIT, Did I mentioned TEACHER? Oh yes I did!
Yeap! Since I am kinda free now, I shall post about the person I'm obsessed now. YAMASHITA TOMOHISA. He is so cute. LOL. Well, there is a brief information about him. Blame me not for this long or whatever information that shocked you. I only took it from another website but I didn't bother to read it. Haha.<3 Yamapi. Therefore you guys might realise that the picture on top is him, right. Isn't he handsome?

Description

Yamashita Tomohisa is a member of the J-pop group NewS from Johnnyfs Entertainment, Inc. He entered JE and became a member of Johnnyfs Juniors when he was 11 years old. He is affectionately called by his friends as Yamapi, which is a nickname given to him by Takizawa Hideaki (Tackey & Tsubasa). His closest friends call him Pi, which was first used by Akanishi Jin (KAT-TUN). Since joining JE, he has been a member of Jr. groups B.I.G., Four Tops, and most recently NewS. Yamapi began to appear in television dramas soon after he joined JE. In 2000, at age 15, his performance in Ikebukuro West Gate Park earned him an award for eBest Supporting Actorf. That same year, he was voted first place in the Annual Junior Awards for eBest Boyfriendf, eMost Beautifulf, etc. for the first time. When Takizawa Hideaki made his debut with Imai Tsubasa as Tackey & Tsubasa in 2002, he left as the leader of Johnnyfs Juniors. Around the same time, Yamapi, Ikuta Toma, Hasegawa Jun, and Kazama Shunsuke formed Four Tops and began to host the Junior television program The Shonen Club (Boyfs Club). In September 2003, 9 people from Johnnyfs Juniors were chosen to form the group NewS with Yamapi as the leader. NewS's formation came as a shock to not only the fans of Four Tops but its own members as well. Yamapi later revealed that at the time, aside from Nishikido Ryo, he had barely talked to any of the other group members. NewS made its formal debut on May 12, 2004. Since its debut, NewS has had four consecutive #1 singles on the Oricon Ranking Chart. In October 2005, Yamapi and Kamenashi Kazuya from KAT-TUN formed the temporary paring Shuuji to Akira to promote their television show Nobuta Wo Produce. (Shuuji and Akira are their characters in the drama.) They also released the single Seishun Amigo under the name Shuuji to Akira, which sold over 1 million copies in 4 weeks. Seishun Amigo is No.1 best selling single on the Oricon Yearly Single Rankings for 2005. During 2006, NewS was temporarily suspended. 2 members, Hiroki Uchi and Hinonori Kusano, were found underage drinking. In August, Yamapi and 2 Thai boys, Golf and Mike, formed a temporary group GYM. In December 2006, NewS came back as a 6 member group, while Uchi and Kusano returned as 'Trainees'.

OK! This is the 2nd and last week of holidays for the semester. Haiz. I was taken aback by the post by unknown Mr.William's comment and therefore decided to post. Lol. Funny, huh? Oh yeah! Rally was like last Saturday right? Guess it was awesome. How does the shirt look like? Couldn't see the whole thing. Someone DO post the whole thing in their blog yeah? Hehe.
After being here for like around 6 months, NO, my accent still did not change. Here are some examples. LOL.

EG 1 :-
Waiter : How many apple pies do you want , miss?
Me : Three (But I pronounced it as tree!)
Waiter : *Blur look* You meant three?
Me : Yeah (I was so malu)

EG 2 :-
Me : OK, so i got to go now. Chaoz
X : Huh?
Me : *Repeated the sentence*
X : Huh?
ME : O...I'll go 1st. (Rephrase it)
X : o.ok

OMG! How could this happen it was so horrible and memalukan. Well, oh well...guess life still goes on huh?
______________________________________________________

When I first came here, everyone asked me (almost all ang mo lang) 'Do they teach English back there' and I was like 'DUH! Why not'. Guess I look kinda ulu to them. Lol. Hey, but my grades in English was much more better than some other people in the class (Did I tell you that I was the only Asian and NEW STUDENT in the class?).
And last 2 weeks, my Indonesian class went to our beloved country. Lol. And gueses what they asked?

X : Are we allowed to wear jeans?
Me : Why not?
X : O..I just don't want to offend them or anything. so...
Me : Well, the people there wear leaves and live on trees actually.
X : *looking at me. Blurly*
Me : Nah! I was just joking. LOL

I mean, why can't we wear jeans? LOL. I think they thought that they were gonna visit an ulu country. LOL.
Yeap. That's till now. Will post some pictures up when I bring camera to school. LOL.

And...GOOD LUCK FOR THER TRIALS (Eventhough it is postponed-Tsk tsk tsk)
