生病了，好想家

下午本来还在开玩笑：“我在新加坡每一个月就生病一次，来到这里变得好健康哦！”
话真的不能乱说。
晚上吃铁板烧就吃坏了肚子，上吐下泻不下十次，最后没有东西吐了还在吐。

还好有室友在。
宿舍的教官载我们到医院的时候，已经凌晨四点了。
迷迷糊糊中，觉得四肢无力，又酸又麻，打针时根本无法握紧拳头。
应该打了有四支针吧： 抽血，打点滴，止吐针，止泻针。
其中两支还打在屁股上，OMG。

医生交代只能喝运动饮料，只能吃白粥/白面包。
原来运动饮料那么好喝。
我就靠运动饮料过活吧。

现在还有点晕晕的，走几步路就喘，肚子里好像刚发生海啸。
我还是去睡吧。
大家不用担心。

dinner with host professor n family!

今晚太有口福了！

My host prof (yes he's an angmoh, but he teaches philosophy in very fluent Chinese) invited me and another 北大 girl (knew her at my movie class) to DIM SUM dinner at a 5-star hotel!!!

Too bad i din take photos...seems impolite u see...it's not as if i never see those food in singapore before haha! but the amount they ordered is like...OMG! 叉烧包，虾饺，烧卖，珍珠鸡，肠粉，小笼汤包，萝卜糕，桂花糕，苹果酥...i think i only listed half. HOHOHO!

Best part is...they lived in singapore for 2 years before while my host prof was teaching at NUS! haha so they were sharing some funny stories over dinner. IT WAS DAMN FUNNY!!! eg. His wife was trying to order Banana Smoothie (she said ber-neh-ner), but the drinks stall uncle din get it. So she pointed at the signboard and the uncle said: "OH we call it Banana Ice Blended (he said bah-nah-nah)". Worse still, he made her repeat after him.

WE ARE SO PROUD OF OUR SINGLISH CAN.

PS: their son Ethan has such beautiful eyes. 混血儿 ROCKS!!!

周末。在清大。

大家都在忙着赶报告。
看来我选的课太轻松了。

觉得有点闷，却又不想自己一个人去台北。
我的ｒｏｏｍｉｅ每逢星期一都自己一个人去台北。

以前总觉得没人陪没关系，不用为了迁就别人而苦了自己。
在ｒｏｏｍｉｅ身上看到了以前的自己，却又觉得他ｌｏｎｅｒ。
自己一个人确实自由，可是来到台湾真的应该这样吗？

忽然发现我一直在积极结交新朋友，也不是怕寂寞，只是觉得不这样做有点浪费。
每次想主动认识别人，又怕自己过分热情／对方反应冷淡，有点难拿捏。
我真的不介意别人跟我“装熟”，因为混久了真的就会熟。

因为很少ｒｅａｄｉｎｇｓ，所以ｗｅｅｋｄａｙ　ｎｉｔｅｓ蛮闷的。
还好星期二有免费电影放映，星期三有世舞社　（是的，我在学跳舞），星期五有人陪我看《超级星光大道》。
其余的晚上就看那些下载的电影／连续剧。

周末的清大比我想象中热闹许多。
好像ｆａｍｉｌｙ　ｄａｙ一样，一家大小一起放风筝，ｒｏｌｌｅｒｓｋａｔｅ，打羽球。
可是，小孩子也太多了吧？　哈哈！

有点意外，我最爱的“胖达ｃａｆｅ”照常营业，而且有我最爱的德式布丁（平时都买不到）。
挑了靠窗的座位，看着一家大小共享天伦，以为又会想家，还好没有。
只是ｓｉｎｃｅｒｅｌｙ为他们感到开心。

这时，一群小孩子推门而入，本来觉得有点大煞风景。

孩子们：　（争先恐后）我要一杯果汁！
店主：　（装生气）我欠你们的哦？
孩子们：　（调皮）请给我一杯果汁，谢谢你帅哥！

还好有他们。

i'm afraid of dogs. STILL.

Tsinghua is FULL of dogs.
If u saw my facebook photos, they are EVERYWHERE.

Lunchtime in the canteen can be such a horror, with dogs of all sizes and colours sniffing around tables and "patrolling" from seat to seat. After 3 weeks of this, I actually thought my dog-phobia has decreased, since I can now cope with them lying centimetres away from my chair.

I was wrong.

Just 10 mins ago, I was on my way back to hostel, merrily drinking my grape milk tea. Suddenly there was this poodle-like dog behind me. I thought maybe it will overtake me or detour in another direction sooner or later.

I was wrong AGAIN.

It followed me all the way back to my hostel gate. 而且一直紧跟在我脚边，好像我是它主人一样。 It looked up at me with that oh-so-innocent gaze. AH HA I think it wants my milk tea. So I left my cup on a grass patch, and ran towards my hostel block. As I turned around, I saw it circling my cup, as if figuring how to drink it. (okie so dogs dunno how to use straws)

Before I realised, it was heading my direction AGAIN.

So I ran across the corridor, scrambled for keys, unlocked the door (while the dog was running across the corridor, just like I did), entered my room, slammed the door, locked the door.

I hope it's not waiting outside my room now.

dreamt abt singapore

最近几晚都梦到新加坡的人事物。
是潜意识里想家了吗？

在台湾12天了，吃得惯住得惯玩得惯。
醒着的时候真的一点想家的感觉也没有。

跟家人的weekly MSN conference好像也没了那个必要。
不会想念家人朋友的样子和声音吗？
暂时是不会。

可能只有在梦里才不会逼自己不去想家吧。
可是每次醒来时发现自己在台湾，是有点失落。
于是打起精神上课，结交新朋友，那种失落感又自动消失了。

和我一起飞过来的中文系同学，有些几乎天天MSN conference或打长途电话。
偶尔会有点羡慕他们对家人朋友的attachment。
我和家人分享近况，都用facebook inbox。
什么地震，寒流，旅游好去处...都用文字来分享。

万一回到新加坡，和家人朋友疏远了怎么办？
是有担心过这点。
总觉得如果真的这样，也是无可避免的事。

至少现在的我，还蛮独立的。
这是好事。我为自己感到骄傲。
一个人在外国念书五个月，好像也没想象中那么难。

过完这个周末，Week3就开始了。
到了Week18，就可以开始收拾行李了。
