Running to standstill
Y'know, scary thing is, there's this really major flu flying around acjc, like everyone's catching it.
And it's not your ordinary small scale cough head pain flu, it's kinda like this major intense head trauma vomiting uncontrollable insanity pain type sickness.
I sit here typing this wondering how i'm still not affected by it all, normally, my wonderful immune system would run away at the first signs of a pandemic and i'd fall so sick you'd think i was the original starter of the deadly flu.
But no, i'm healthy and happy. Good track record there.
School's been strangely fun, i've never enjoyed myself so much before, it might sound weird coming from me, but it actually feels good to be studying again, it's like my life has a purpose again other than waking up in the morning every day.
Chinese class has been quite fun, my teacher's this raised-on-a-farm-i-don't-know-what-ipods-are type of person, and the way her english is going, i'm going to assume she took English Language B as a student back in that BC time period, cos very obviously, she's about a couple thousand years old, give or take another thousand.
She doesn't really understand a word of english other than "hello", "goodbye" and "toilet".
And in class recently, she's been showing us these clips of journey to the west, not a very new version, but the version they made back in the 70s. As you can pretty much guess by now, the special effects and graphics they used to enhance the viewer experience was so bad, a 7 year old could do better with a diseased stone computer, like those they originally made way back then in the 80s.
I shit you not. It was so bad i actually contemplated approaching osama to get a bomb, strap it to my chest and hug the projector screen and release the bomb trigger.
Today's lesson also had a ridiculously funny conversation we had with our teacher.
We had established the fact that the chinese word for little bird was going to represent the male genitalia, since a man's genitalia is often referred to as his bird, or kookoo bird.
The conversation went like this.
Teacher : This word means beauty, beautiful, like a little bird on a branch, that's very beautiful.
Me: Oh yes, little birds, birds, koo koo birds, they're cool.
Teacher: Yes birds! (she then draws a bird on the board) See this bird? It's a long bird, a skinny long bird with many colours.
Me: Do you have any birds madam?
Teacher: Me? Oh yes i used to.
Me: Oh is that right. How many did you have?
Teacher: I had 2 little birds.
Me: Were they nice and pretty little birds?
Teacher: Yes they were, i took them out to pet them everyday, and they grew bigger and bigger and longer and longer till they were so big, i could not keep them anymore and i had to release them into the open.
Me: Oh my. Did they talk?
Teacher: Yes they could sing, every morning i'd wake up and they'd sing for me.
Me: Did they eat much?
Teacher: Yes, my little birds were always very hungry, sometime i'd feed it fruits with seeds and they're so clever, they'd shoot the seeds out, sometime they shot it so hard, the sticky seeds would fly accross the room and sometimes hit my face.
I'll stop there cos i'd like to keep my post at a PG level. But you get the point.
The entire class was roaring with laughter by the time we were done asking her questions about her bird.
The fact that she considered our inquisition a good spontaneity, she encouraged it.
Pfft.
This is going to be extremely shameless advertising, but im desperate.
Please, please please please buy tickets to the odyssey.
The odyssey is a production by ACSian theatre and is going to be held on the 9th 10th and 11th of April at ACJC's centre for performing arts building.
