Nice shoes!!
I just saw the video now (I somehow missed it before?). Apparently you ARE drinking a lot of wine lately! heheh
Sandy would be most proud of you!
No wonder you sleep @ uni! You guys are having way too much for for this course :-) Will have to run to catch up with you two @ the Christmas night out!!! Have fun, see you Monday :-)
hey hey Hey Hansee just policing the blog making sure your keeping it real and not misrepresenting my beautiful country. Im surprised youve not mentioned the numerous firemen visits yet! I really dont see us finishing this course with all the time we spend on the blog! love ya J x
Hansee!
I saw jelly babies in the candy store on 4th today! I'm going to go back and buy some this week!! I'm pretty sure those are the same ones you told me about?
I *suspect* Hansee may have done fish #2 cause it's kinda girly and I think she likes pink. But that's just a guess...
I think fish #4 is interesting - very modern! Oh, and I like the detail in Fish #1!
Fish frolics 2 I like the pink border the best - it's girly and I seem to have gone that way of late. I also like border number 1 too.
I hope we can paint some fish when you come to stay - it's always good to have a bit of art therapy.
Hotpot was lush!! Wow, I so remember having so many good hotpots!! Do you remember the gorgeous quail egss? I miss those. I've hunted out a Chinese supermarket in Gloucester for you too - we can do some cooking!
My guess Hi guys! Jeanette, I take it you are taking good care of my Hansee :) (thanks, I miss her).....now, hmmmm....this is v. much a shot in the dark as I don't know Jeanette, Ryan or Anonymous person #4, but i would say Hansee did #2 as it is feminine and I know you have a feminine girly side, and I would guess Jeanette did #3 as it has more color and has bubbles-which makes it kinda fun...and I guess I'll just guess that Ryan did #1 and that's just a flat-out guess. I'm sitting here drinking my early morning cup of Chai - Hansee are you keeping the tradition going?
I will have to ask Ryan about your story. Crying over a book seems even too odd for Ryan. I have to say, though, that i've only known him for six weeks and he does at random times reveal strange little bits about his past.
Ryan cryin', no big surprise. Hello there Hansee. I am Richard, a friend of Ryan's and former bandmate. I really enjoyed seeing those pictures of Ryan having a tough time with the hot pepper. But I must tell you that it's certainly not the first, and won't likely be the last, time that Ryan has cried over something that the average bloke enjoys. Once I borrowed a book of Georg Trakl poems from Ryan. I was supposed to return it to him 7 days later at our weekly "buddies out for shakes" meeting, where we'd hook up to chat about ourselves and such. Well, I had innocently forgot about the book of poetry, no big deal, right? When Ryan asked me if I had brought his book back for him and I told him that I had plum forgot, he started to fall apart on me in the shake shop. He tried to be strong, I could tell, but he just couldn't fight back the tears. I remember seeing the sides of his lips quiver and his eyes began to go red, not unlike how they probably did when Ryan wept in front of you. His lament grew from a held back snivel into a full out wailing within 50 or so seconds. I could hear a young girl who was sitting at the next table enjoying a waffle-cake ask her mother why that man was keening. She actually leaned over and asked Ryan if he wanted to hold her dolly, as it usually made her feel better when she held her, especially when she had to go to the dentist. I've never seen anyone caterwaul like Ryan does.
Anyway, take care of my good buddy and thanks again for posting those pictures for all to see. Odd thing is, they have the opposite effect on me that that little Thai pepper had on Ryan... I can't stop laughing when I see them. hee hee hee
I once ate a hot chilly whole after someone bet me a pint of beer i wouldn't do it. I spent a good ten minutes with my tongue in a pint of ice, it was that hot. The pint was not worth it!!
I'm just as shocked as you are. I'm in an average area. Not the wealthiest but definately not the poorest either. The thing is the kids are super well behaved in class but once they are left alone in the playground or in the assembly hall they become as raving loud and rambunctious as any North american kid. I have to observe them more before I can form any real opinion about their behaviour.
It's interesting to read your perception of our classes!! I've never heard of education in the UK being even vaguely compared to the strict Aisan system - well behaved children in the UK? That cannot be true... maybe in Scotland it's all love and happiness compared to England, though I cannot imagine an inner city Glasweigan school being such... what sort of school are you at? What age are the children?
Keep going! Hansee, your blog is really great. I'm so happy you are pursuing your dreams. Sounds great. Keep us posted! I'll have to update you on the latest from Japan when I have more energy...zzz... ;-)
For the first four weeks it is part time with classes and then I have a almost 1 month block with just practicum. And this is just the first practicum. I still have the preschoolers and the kindergarten and 1st graders.
Back to School Special
