Bonjour all…..

I was so bored just now that when my friend asked me if I wanted to go to a party, I agreed immediately. Eh..can I say it’s a wrong decision? 30 people cramming in a 4m by 3m room, add 2 cartons of beer and like 20 bottles of wine..oh lala… A few of them became drunk and there were a lot of swearing and jokes. They started talking very loudly and you had to shout to get yourself heard. Beer and wine were spilled everywhere, on the floor, on the bed. Oh my, it’s so totally not my idea of having fun.

Eheh, but this is the first time I have been to such party? The typical kind of party that college students have overseas? I guess I really went there because I wanted the experience. I knew I wouldn’t enjoy myself because I’m just so shy but I still went anyway. Ahah..but as Ade says, we should always try everything. It was very hard to mix in because they kept speaking French, tres vite and I couldn’t understand of course. They were mostly from the better-in-french class. There were 2? From my class? I talked a little, but mostly I listened to the others..yeah.

I drank a grand total of ahem 1 beer and a little white and red wine? I was totally clear headed but I didn’t want to drink more. The thought of the headaches that I will get after that really makes me cautious. Hmmz, but I really wonder if the people really enjoy drinking or drink only because its cool to drink. There’s this American who insist only on drinking coke. Ah…It’s real rare to still be able to see such guys around right-guys with their own 主见, who don’t just follow the crowd.

So far, I have met Singaporeans of course, Koreans, Finnish, Germans, Chinese, French, Mexicans, Brazilians, Chileans, and Americans. Ah and you know what, it s not the Europeans that I cannot differentiate it’s the Latin Americans that look the same. You know they are Latin Americans but where are they from exactly, it’s so hard to tell! On several occasion it was pretty embarrassing because I would ask questions like oh..In brazil, is Spanish the only official language? Then the person would say, ‘I’m Mexican.’ Ah….But then again, those places are so far from here. Likewise, they knew nuts about asia. I have heard that Singaporeans speak singaporish? That Japan is as big as Singapore etc etc….But that’s the purpose of the exchange. To learn more about others!

Okay Okay. Time for bed!
