Based on Your Birthday …

I got this from Facebook;

You are very capable. If you are a woman, you have high chance to be a renowned workingwoman. If you are a man, your path to fame and honor is near. As an innovator, you are not a good follower. You are good in implementing your imagination and share it with others. You are always well dressed. Your Love, You often lose your love ones from being too jealous. You always feel like you own the person you fall in love with and that often blows your relationship.

Sleeping in the Subway

sleeping-in-the-subwayFor Westerners like my husband, it always amazes them to see people dozing off in the most uncomfortable and noisiest places.

This is not a big surprise for me because in my country, most people also have no trouble sleeping… anywhere. In PUJs, bus terminals, airports, waiting sheds, etc. You name it. Although this might come off as very unbecoming to some, for me it’s just to show that the person (sleeping) is comfortable with his surroundings (other than he is just plain drunk) and I honestly don’t have a problem with that just as long as the person (sleeping) is not leaning on me.

German Course Update

Last Friday was the last day of our German course and I am relieved because I think I won’t have to see my A-hole German teacher again. Last Monday was our exam. It’s not a compulsory exam but if you want to have a certificate showing that you did and you passed the course’s requirements, you should take it. I initially planned that after the B1 course, I will take exam for A2 (previous level) because I have a better chances of passing that one if I am already done with B1. So it’s like my certificate will be one level behind the course I just completed. I am a chicken, I know but so what?

But because there were some changes around lately, I am prompted to take the highest certificate I can get. My husband begged and cajoled me to take the exam. He told me like 10000000000000 times that I can surely pass it without a problem. I didn’t believe him but because I thought…this might be my last German course in Shanghai and I probably can’t study German further, I should have this certificate now.

There were 17 (some are from other language schools) examinees and only 8 passed it. I, along with the other examinees, waited for the results until like 8:00 pm last Monday. It was a long wait! Anyway, I am glad that I am one of those 8 examinees who made it and that I got the second highest score. The certificates will come in about three weeks but I don’t have to wait 3 weeks to have a goodnight sleep—I already know the results.
