Homestay

Homestay. It's not a normal homestay. My homestay is exciting yet interesting. we've been preparing for this homestay to come because we hv to saty wit the korean family for 1 day in their house. I'm feeling scared yet cant wait to meet them. Before the homestay we wrote letter to that family that will be our homestay family. We didn't konow what was awaiting us until that particular day. I went there earlier because the koreans are very acurate with time. I didn't know that the subway station is so near my house and i went there half an hour early. Lepaking at the station there..Looking at the shops in the subway and surveying the peoples that walked past the ticket boothe.Scared that i'll overlooked my homestay family. I'm thinking what will that girl look like or what shld i do when i saw them... 1.00 pm... nervous 1.05 pm... Why still can't see anything?? 1.10 pm... Am i went to the wrong place?? Then i saw a girl running towards me...herm...it's her..quite cute n fair..about my height...long hair...Then we went to the bus sop and take the bus to her house.In the bus i juz answer her what she asked me while thinking what i shld say to her family when i meet them... But after i reached her house she told me no 1 at home now and they will be back later.So she ordered some food and ate together while waiting for her family to come back. Then her father and her sister came home, i juz bow my head and said annyeonghaseyo...and keep eating...haha..i got ask her father to eat with us..haha.. Ate together with her father..and discuss what we'll be going to do later..She said we'll br going to lotte world (the theme park where stairways to heaven was shooted) It'll be fun...hehe... Here's the pictures in lotte world. She bought the rabbit ears for me..

The famous ride in stairways to heaven... Went back late around 12.00 am. After bathed straight went to bed.!st time got to sleep on bed in korea...hehe.. The next day we ate breakfast together with her family. Her mother made the breakfast herself. She cooked a lot and i liked the seafood soup..hehe..After breakfast we went to cinema and watched a korean movie..Quite a gud movie...It's about the high school students who involved with the group of bad ppl. And 1 of the students got killed and the story goes on that another students hv to admit that he killed his friends.A cops knows everything and he's in danger for knowing enerything.Of course the gud guy wins in the end...haha..

After that we went to a shop to take photos(the cute cute 1)Then we went to shopping centre and i bought her a handphone accessories... Went back home and then have lunch with her family for the last time...Ate nengmion(cold noodles) Quite nice for me...haha..And then comes the desert..strawberry ice cream(my favourites) really delicious and i learnt how to make strawberry ice cream...hehe..going to make sum 1 day...and here's the family photos...

This is lifted directly from my personal blog... Haha. And these are stupid stuff my friends and I talked when we went to Melaka for a weekend holiday... bunked in my friend's house for two nights.

Decided to post it here too coz' it's pretty funny and it's a warning to what calculus does to poor innocent minds! LOL. =)

My diet officially went to la la land when Yoke Peng brought in the container of butter cookies to Subby's room that day.

My diet stayed in la la land when I stepped in the land of Malacca. First things we ate were compliments of Mei Yueh's mom (Mei Yueh is our awesome and gracious host in Malacca these three days- without her I won't be blogging, coz this is her PC I'm typing on, hahaha), absolutely unique and delicious "tong sui", then came the sate celup, the chicken rice ball, the durian cendol, the pizza hut, the Portuguese food... I think I've gained whatever weight I lost playing frisbee and jogging and badminton, and MORE!

Well, that is not really what I want to say today. I have a feeling there will be many parts to this trip, so be patient while I upload all the photos (might take up to a week, haha). But for this Part 1... I will be talking about...



INTERESTING QUOTES

these are overstressed calculus students... so beware! excessive calculus causes problems to the human brain!
these are actually brilliant students~ sarcastic and witty, not bimbotic (Yilingpersuaded me to type this XD)


So... fire away?


Day 1

On a double decker bus that is to bring us to Malacca... We climbed aboard the second 'storey'... and the jakun girl...
Jia Mun: I feel so tall.


In the bus, feeling like we want to talk...
Yiling: It's women's natural instinct to talk, because we like to hear the sound of our own voices.


But don't know what to talk...
Yiling: We should write interesting titles down on slips of paper and put them in a hat, then when we don't know what to talk, we draw them out.


And suddenly...
Yiling: Elizabeth, I want 3 dozen pens. Two blue, one black.
Jia Mun aka Liz: *speechless* First Uma wants two dozen, now you three? My dad will say my friends are crazy!
Yiling: The pens in US are not nice and expensive. So I'm bringing them there. You should be the distributor of these Japanese (and cannot be found in US) pens there. Sell to the Malaysian students, have 'agents' where there are lots of Malaysians, in Michigan, in RIT, in Stevens... Then introduce it to the Americans- and they'll fall in love with it, then you'll have an empire!
Liz: Interesting. Pen empire.
Yiling: We hatch a masterplan to take over the world- by selling pens.
Liz: Get a petition signed, then I can write a letter to G'Soft to ask to be their distributor in US.
(Oh, we are talking about G'Soft 787 pens, very nice to use, fine nib 0.38mm. Any orders? Call me if you need any. My empire needs working on XD)


Upon reaching the house....
Mei Yueh: This is my house
Yiling: Yes Mei Yueh, I know you wouldn't bring us to a stranger's house. *sarcasm*


~While chatting, eating tong sui... many interesting quotes appeared.


On psychology (one of the courses in Summer 2008 ATU 14 schedule.. that I'm not taking XD)
Mei Yueh: Dunno what Bio Bio stuff they talk. This hipothalamus, thalamus...
Uma: I know! I know! Hipothalamus is in the brain!
Everyone: Waaaaaaa...... *we are enlightened! lol*


On being fascinated... Since I was jakun, being fascinated by Mei Yueh's house. But it's really nice! Antique-feel, yet homey, utilizing like every square inch of the place and yet not cluttered... and the lights and fans are really really cool! =)
Liz: *looking around like a little girl fascinated while eating tong sui*
Yiling: Yes Elizabeth, are you fascinated by anything else?


On when soon after that Yiling stares at her her fruit...
Uma: Why are you srutinizing the fruit like that, Yiling? Are you fascinated by it? *teasing*


On a ringing phone...
Yiling: I want to check my phone. Everybody... freeze!


On mirrors
Liz: I am so happy, the mirrors came! Now got big mirror in my locker...
Subby: Yeah. We didn't have mirrors in the lockers before, though.
Yiling: You didn't?
Mei Yueh: We had no mirrors. Complained since first semester...
Uma: I feel so blessed.


On birds
Yiling: The birds always hit the glass panels in my house because they thought there is nothing there.
Shearon: You should put a sign "Be careful, it's a mirror'. *in all seriousness*


On chickens dying on Yiling's home doorsteps
Subby: It might have committed suicide.
Yiling: Aaah. I guess the hen wanted another rooster so this one decided to die.
Uma: That's why I say... these chickens. *shakes head regretfully*


On hair... the effects of a multiracial country
(reenaction of previous conversation)
Uma: Ma is my hair wavy or curly?
Ma: For Chinese, they will say curly coz' their hair is stick straight. For Indians, it's wavy, coz' it's as good as Maggi Mee.
Subby: But I think your hair is wavy. Curly is like Maggi Mee


On hair...Rapunzel's hair
Mei Yueh: How can Prince Charming like Rapunzel? Hair is so long that it cannot be washed properly, so smelly.
Yiling: Maybe she used perfume.
Uma: Do they have perfume then?
Yiling: Rose water. She sprinkled rose water.
Mei Yueh: She used Febreeze.
Uma: Last time got Febreeze ah?
Yiling: It's a fairytale. Does it even have a time setting?


After laughing while reading the quotes I jotted down...
Mei Yueh: Those quotes sounds, like from intelligent to bimbotic, very intelligent to very bimbotic.
Uma: This is a far cry from Calculus.
Yiling: This is what Calculus does to you.

~That night, chatting... in the room...

On a book, a laptop, and a boy
Subby: Who has 'A Thousand Splendid Suns'?
Liz: Michael.
Uma: Who's Michael?
Yiling: The one with the HP Pavilion laptop.
Uma: Oh yes Yiling, I go around scrutinizing people's laptops. *sarcasm*


On fashion
Liz: I guess none of you will be able to tell my dress style.
Uma: We have to go back to Teluk Intan and see.
Liz: Back in Teluk Intan, you will see me in nothing but t-shirts and pants.
All: Why?
Liz: I have a reputation.


Day 2 (few quotes coz I didn't jot down most- we went traversing Malacca town and shopping)


On birds... pigeons this time
Mei Yueh: There's lots of pigeons in Malacca. When they *censored, this is a family friendly site, kindly extrapolate yourself XD*, the tourists complain.
Shearon: They (pigeons) should pay fee to enter Malacca then.
Mei Yueh: Then how do they know they need to pay?
Shearon: Put a sign there saying "For Rent".


On... black and white
Uma: I am going to be black and white.
Yiling: Michael Jackson wouldn't care.
Uma: It's not like I will meet him so it doesn't matter. I don't care.
Yiling: Do you even know what I mean?
Uma: Yea. Michael Jackson is black and white.
Yiling: No, I am talking about his song "Black or White"
Uma: Oh? What song?
Yiling: *sings*... it doesn't matter if you're black or white...
Uma: Oh. That song.


On feet
Liz: My feet are cracked. Oh my god, my feet are so cracked. MY FEET ARE CRACKED!
Yiling: Then what do you want me to do??
Liz: Offer your condolences.
Yiling: My condolences.

At night, while blogging... (this is like, 30 minutes ago)
Mei Yueh: *offering food* This is very nice. But I don't know how long you have to jog it off.
Liz: *takes food* (monolog dalaman- diet go lala land long time already....hahaha)

Feeling sleepy studying psychology

Mei Yueh: I have to wake up somemore tomorrow.
Liz: Okay... So I don't need to? Cool. XD

And finally, the classic...
Yiling: *skims the rough draft of jotted quotes* Why so many Yiling's quotes?
Liz: You have interesting quotes.
Mei Yueh: You are a very quotable person.
Yiling: I knew I was destined for greatness.


Note: To quote Mei Yueh, ADFPians say the darnest things. And no, this is not a measure of our stupidity. Neither are we overtly bimbotic. Just humor and laughing makes you lose weight and be healthier, according to Yuin Yi.
So laugh more, and say more funny things! =D

PS- Juniors, beware of the negative side effects of excessive calculus! XD

Yup - my dear TI friends. Beware the monster of Calculus!
