"Big noses were the foreign people who came from across the ocean. "What are they like, these Big Noses?" I asked.

Hanwei's brows climbed even farther as he thought. "Well, their skin gets very pink when they're hot. Also, they're quite hairy. The hair on the backs of their hands can get an inch long!" He lowered his voice. "One of my friends told me h saw a Big Nose with his sleeves rolled up. There was hair all the way up his arms!"

I shuddered. "They must be part monkey, those Big Noses. I've never seen a human with so much hair."

Hanwei shook his head. "They're human, all right. Once you get to know them, you tend to forget how funny they look. Anyway, I have to work so hard in school that I don't have time to worry about my teacher's big nose or hairy arms."

Of all the things Hanwei studied in school, I was most interested in foreigner's language. "Can you speak this..this..English...even if you don't have a big nose?" I asked.

"Of course," said Hanwei. He opened and shut his mouth a few times as he prepared himself. I smiled, because he reminded me of the golden carp in our fishpond. Hanwei probably thought i was admiring him, because he smiled back. Finally, he managed to deliver his English words, which sounded very strange, different from anythings I had ever heard before.

I did my best to repeat them after him I'm good at repeating sounds, and I infuriate some of my cousins by imitating the way they talk.

"Hey! that's not bad!" Said Hanwei. "I'll teach you some more english, if you want."

I was touched by his offer. "That's nice of you. But why should you bother?"

"Didn't they tell you?" asked Hanwei. He glanced over at his mother, who was still talking back to me and smiled. "I'm going to be your husband one of these days."

Spent 2.5 hours reading this book today. Not a really long book though, just a short novel(:

Cant imagine how it would be like if girls nowadays are still forced to bind their foot, and were not allowed to receive education. Well, that was nearly a hundred years ago though. Being born in the 21st century is indeed lucky :D

& its quite funny to see how the chinese used to think about foreigners as Big Nose and having lots of hair! haha. & its even more astonishing that parents engage their children as young as five!

Anw, it really interesting to read about how girls in the past tried to fight against traditions. Maybe if i was born in that time, i would have obliged my mum :\ haha. maybe xD but i'm glad times had changed! :D

& i reserved a book at library today too! so i'll arrive by tmr or friday(:

byebye!

hello friday NIGHT :)

its one more paper to after prelims!
which is on tue...so, i'm gonna slack the day away :DDD

actually i'm in the midst of slacking alr, ever since e geog paper ended at 9.30am this morning :D haha! E geog today was manageable, which was really really a super great relief and comfort to me after all the crazy science papers. hmm..Didn't do as well as i could have. Could really have done better...but still...whats done cannot be undone so i'll just, learn from this and jia you for O's! (:

And it was totally a great day today!! hahah!! With abii and alison and 3rd lang, how not? xD haha! ok i'm going to type a long long loooong post today!!
(hahaha i'm feeling so happy and high now! :DDD)

So after egeog paper, abii was supposed to go home with me. But on the way met alison and she decided to come my house too! yay! so we went home tgt! And the luckier thing is that my father, miraculously, volunteered to come drive me home today :DD haha! indeed lucky! :DDD

yup! so reached my house and me and abii was supposed to do class video. haha, and obviously we din xD In the end we looked at pictures and videos and finally we began helping alison look for a new blogskin to change! Guess how long that took...3 hours!!! haha!!! But it was extreme fun-ness!! :DDDDDDD

>> From all the excited screams and frantic pointing of the screens on nice blogskins
>> You should have seen the number of new tabs on the top of the screen (i never used so many :O haha!) all the skins that were "in consideration" haha!
>> The Pale stuffs alison likes xDD
>> My comp, which pops out many- a hem- stuffs once in a while which ensued a sudden "ahhh!! hurry close it!!!" from abii and alison. haha!!!

& finally we chose a super uber nice classic skin for alison!! And the changing of html codes was totally amazing, from how we swtiched to and fro from the classic way of html changing to the new way, to the search for Alison's New links, finding the lost pass word, cbox colour...& finally the new blogskin is complete! :DDD haha! oh & did i mention Abii suddenly suggested searching for "Chicken rice" and seeing what comes out, and indeed something interesting came out! haha!

yepp! then me and abi went for 3rd lang! I was really reluctant, cos we're getting back our prelim papers...din do as well as i could have..Not really upset luh...more of disappointed :(( hmm.. at least now i know where i can improve on (:

and the highlight was....we watched PONYO after checking papers!! :DDDD haha!! so cute! but i still think totoro is cuter!! I want the totoro standing on the top shelves of mini-toons! hahaha! So big and cuddly makes me feel like hugging it! hahah! & i lovedddd spirited away too!

& chua sen sei was telling us we've got only 2 more jap lessons...i'll really really miss jap classes :(( It had been really so so fun almost every fri (sec 4), and wed and fri (from sec 2 to 3) & it was also through 3rd lang i met my group of sapporo friends too ((: ahhh. i dunno how many times i've said it, but still, i loved 3rd lang lessons! <3! Perhaps its not about the language alone, but also more of the joy it had brought as well ♥!




Feel so relaxed now! shall post some pictures! :D




Results from the "Chicken Rice" search! haha!

This is totoro! Doesnt it looks so cute and cuddly? ♥♥♥!!

ok! shall go sleep early tonight.
