What have I been up to this week?

To put it lightly, not very much.

As pre­vi­ously stated in another blog post, it was Chi­nese New Year or Lunar New Year as Tai­wanese peo­ple would pre­fer you to say, so I stayed around my par­ents apart­ment for most of the time. We vis­ited my cousins, uncles and other rel­a­tives on one occa­sion and cel­e­brated Lunar New Year.

How­ever, mostly in the week, my par­ents and I stayed at home– and I of course enjoyed my moth­ers great cook­ing; plus I didn’t really spend much. (So I saved a bit of money in that sense)

My rela­tion­ship with my girl­friend is still strong, we speak to each other almost every­day for a few hours and that still doesn’t sat­isfy me. Not see­ing her face, hold­ing her hand and not being able to talk to her is very depress­ing. I guess she is the match that lights up my life. (That was prob­a­bly the strangest anal­ogy, I’ve come up with)

Today prob­a­bly was the high­light of my day, con­sid­er­ing I had pizza with my good friend “Jun”. My moth­ers friend gave me a sh*t load of pizza, chicken and potato. So I shared it with my friend con­sid­er­ing the fact, I would not have been able to have eaten all of it.

Tomor­row, is the start of learn­ing Man­darin, as I’ll have my speak­ing and lis­ten­ing class as well as my writ­ing class as the hol­i­day fin­ishes up. I didn’t really study much, how­ever I stud­ied the gram­mar for the most part for the upcom­ing les­son and a few char­ac­ters for the les­son thereafter.

Also another update, my sis­ter is com­ing to Tai­wan. I guess I was becom­ing a lit­tle bored of Tai­wan as it was becom­ing very samey or with­out any vari­ety. Just the same old, same old and not par­tic­u­larly doing any­thing dif­fer­ent. — It gets bor­ing after a while. Although with my sis­ter com­ing, hope­fully that changes for the bet­ter. I sug­gested to my father we take her to this place called Kent­ing, which I’ve wanted to go to on numer­ous occa­sions; how­ever have never found the time. This means miss­ing some Man­darin classes, which is fine, con­sid­er­ing I haven’t seen my sis­ter in over a year.

– Sign­ing out and going to sleep!
