in retrospect

spent the whole afternoon at the English Institute of Sport playing badminton today. it was some competition organised by the chinese society. it was interesting, reminded me a little of interschool competition last time. anyhoos i didn't know anyone other than david and peter (peter got david and i to help represent the chinese society team) but it wasnt too bad cuz everyone was so friendly. and it was weird speaking mandarin again, but everyone said my spoken mandarin is very good hehehe. and now peter and david are in charge of teaching me cantonese and i have to teach david mandarin.

ended really late and dinner at ranmoor was over already so peter invited both of us to his place for dinner and i was very pleased because he is such a GREAT cook. i had TEN pieces of tang yuan and OHMEOHMY i didnt realise how much that would fill me up, i had to pop two into david's bowl. and and and! peter had FUJI APPLES!!!! :D :D :D i havent had fuji apples since i last went home in december. my favourite fruit in the wholewideworld. :D

david and i were both agreeing how nice peter is, he's really kind and he's like an uncle to us. peter was telling me to go get a german boyfriend cuz germans are apparently the best people to date. hahaha. well lets see.
