What A Crazy World We Live In...
I had the worst blueberry muffin ever this afternoon. I bought it from Pak n' Save, so I didn't have high expectations from it. It is a muffin, after all. How bad can it taste? Answer: VERY BAD!! It's a blueberry muffin, so naturally, I expected it to taste like a blueberry muffin. But no, it didn't even taste like a plain muffin. It tasted like fish. Fish! What a crazy world we live in, eh? Actually, I should admire whoever baked the muffin. However did he/she managed to make a BLUEBERRY muffin that taste like FISH? Hebat, hebat.
I just started summer school yesterday, doing a Practical Phonology paper. I was quite nervous, 'cos everyone tells me summer school is intense, since it's only five-and-a-half weeks. But so far, things have been nice and easy. Maybe because it's an ESOL paper? :P Students are so quiet in class, even when the lecturer's not around. I guess everyone's just shy. All the students are Asians, after all. Some Koreans, some Taiwanese, some Chinese, a Vietnamese, and a M'sian (me lo!). Quite a lot of them have Music degrees or Science degrees. Hmm. I would think most would be Art students, since the paper is an Arts paper.
I'm the only one whose first language is English in class! Boohoo. I feel like such a loser. Heh. However, there were a few whose English is quite good. Some can't speak English well, despite being in NZ for 10 years. Yesterday, our lecturer made us sit with someone else, so we can interview each other. Things like your name, where you're from, what degree you're doing, etc. It's quite good, 'cos that way, people get to interact. This guy I sat with, Andrew, reminds me a little of Chi Yee. (Sorry la, Chi Yee, maybe you're not that unique after all. :P) He's nice, he's funny, and he likes to assemble handphones.. Just like the way Chi Yee likes to dismantle stuff. Hehe. Luckily they don't look alike. Otherwise, I think I just might have found Chi Yee's long-lost twin!
Two Cheah Chi Yees. Now wouldn't that be nice?
