;new week starts, and for
us, lessons have not finished yet
Still got English lessons on Monday. We started the lessons from nine A.M. to twelve. I had my lunch, some noodles and two pieces of Roti Prata, before I set off to Redhill to repair my laptop. My laptop has got some problem for almost the whole year, sometimes the fan did not work. But most of the time I tried to ignore it because I bought a pair of fan myself to prevent the laptop from overheating. Still, it was so inconvenient, so I decided to repair it recently.
I really hate taking bus, especially when I took bus all the way from Bedok to Redhill. I almost felt asleep on the bus, what worse, I waited at the service center for a long time before my turn. SUSPECT FAN FAULTY, SYSTEM GETS HEATED UP AND AUTO SHUTDOWN was how the person described the condition of my laptop. Then my laptop was sent to the office next door and I was told that I would get it back within three to five working days.
Taking the same bus went back, I felt a sense of relieve, maybe it was due to the fact that my bag was lighter. I took me almost one hour and a half to get to Bedok. I did not go to my hostel directly. Instead, I went to Parkway Parade for a hair cut. The stylist took one hour to style my hair and I went back right at the dinner time. The dinner ironically tasted very good as usual. But I did not mind, I could only have the chance to eat the traditional, delicious Chinese food at home.
The service center rang me in the evening. I was glad to know that my laptop had been mended. I was told to collect my laptop the next day, which is today. I did not have too much stuff to do in the evening without my laptop, but somehow I did not go to sleep so early.
After the dreamless night, I got up early. Well, not so early, but at least I could manage to reach the auditorium in time. Most of the people went back after that, but, yeah, we still have English lesson. We are going to mostly focus on oral during this session. After the lesson, when I am updating the blog, when I was typing rapidly, I suddenly think of something. I think of the moment I did my English composition a year ago when I just arrived in Singapore. And I think of what I am doing now. Well, besides my own effort, I think I have to thank all of you guys for helping me on my English, you guys always help me without complain, like JiaJin and Zhi Yang, who explain to me whatever I ask them, Sharon, who gave comments upon my English exercises and Johnny, who gave me suggestions on my pronunciation.
Thank you all again and see ya next year. I will update later.
