Week 5

Week 5!!! 'It's Week 5!' is probably the sentence of the week. Every class I go, I would ask, how are you. And I usually get that reply. A Swiss lady, an exchange student, asked me, 'I keep hearing that, is it supposed to mean anything?' Means no more walking, now need to jog to keep up with work.

1. I watch The Ugly Truth with Joshua this week. My movie-watching rate is once a week. I'm so cool.

2. Before choir recruited new people, we were a 24-strong choir. We accepted 26 new people! Now we're huge!

3. Fatimah invited me to her house this evening, for Hari Raya Puasa. Food was good. It's a pity my good friends couldn't make. I enjoyed myself, but in the company of new people, must deal with ambiguity.

4. I learned today. Do not say, 'Hey you remind me of so-and-so!'. You can only say that to someone if you are comparing upwards. For e.g. "you remind me a little of this Korean actress.' Not "you remind me of this girl in my class, so and so, you know her?' 99% of the time, unless that referent girl is hot, the person you are speaking to will be offended, be it openly or inwardly.
