Culture shock

Its August! It fascinates me every time to realise how fast time flies.

Well, as a matter of fact I have loads to blurt out but somehow, they just can’t fit in this tiny post of blogspot. So the summary it will be. =)

Within these 3 weeks on Uni, I had undoubtedly made a number of friends from VERY different culture. One culture that I’m not very fond of is the need to add so much unnecessary words and vocabularies and explanations in a sentence. Its like this,

“Hey Ivise, do you know that the class on Wed is surprisingly cancelled. Yeah. Oh gosh *hand fanning themselves*, I’m so glad about it coz you know how he teach and all, and obviously he’s like so bored and bla bla and all. Yeah. ALSO he had this thing you know. But he did said the class was changed to my beautiful Thursday and God I was like thinking what the heck. Thursday is my free day and god, how can he just change it. Yeah. Anyway, are you free on Wed? You know, perhaps we can hang out or something? Coffee break and all? Coz you know, it is kinda bored here with winter and all. So, what do you think?”

I think you can cut all the words before boring me to DEATH! Can you count how many ‘you know’ and ‘yeah’ is in the word? LOL!!

Instead of , “Hey Ivise, class on Wed is changed to Thurs. So I was thinking if you are free on Wed, maybe we can hang out?”

What’s wrong with these people? Get to the point, dude! I don’t wanna waste my precious 5 minutes just to listen to something that can be said in 5 seconds. Sigh....

Another thing that I’m still shocked is the habit of kissing the cheek. I don’t categorise myself as a conservative person. *Duh* But kissing people cheek, especially a newly acquainted person is so not my culture. Its yucky! Worst if that person is a guy with his new born ‘janggut’ and their face is all rough and spiky. Imagine a sand paper being scratched to my delicate face. OUCH!!

No wonder I had allergies after that... =.=”

Well, other than these complaints I do have heaps of culture that I like about Melbourne. People are generally friendly, cleaner, nice cool weather, helpful, cuter and funny. I will leave that to the next post coz I really need to finish up my piles of bloody homeworks.
