Life, lately

Un boule chocolat, s'il vous plait!

Mon mari est Français.
Mon habite à Belair au Luxembourg.
Je parle Anglais, Chinois, Malais, et un petit peu Français.
Aujourd'hui c'est neuf Octobre deux mille dix.
Je voudrais un baguette, s'il vous plait.
Je voudrais manger
J'ai faim

Paham ka?

This is what I've been up to lately. I can carry on a one-sided conversation very well in French right now. But heaven help the other person who tries to ask me a question ^_^ Some very nonsensical answers have come out of my mouth. 

So, because I have been French-ing all day long every single day, I have found an excuse to drown myself in a melodramatic Taiwanese TV series I watch on the internet when I come home from classes. I promise it is in the name of language and to keep my Mandarin going strong.


I swear it is not because I think the uber rich bad boy teeny bopper hero is cute and I swear double that I did NOT cry buckets when:
1. he turned good after falling in love with a sweet, innocent girl
2. they had to break up because his mother thought she was not good enough for him
3. he almost died while trying to get back with her
4. he got a brain tumour and was given one month to live
5. she had to lie and leave him because his mother said she would only be able to save him if she went away
6. he was heartbroken because he thought she left because she didn't love him anymore
7. she gave birth to their child in secret and their child is terribly wonderful but also very sick
8. she sits in her village home every night missing him terribly while he's recovering from his surgery which causes him to lose his memory
9. they met again but he doesn't remember her.
.............
Everyone familiar with Taiwanese/ Korean love dramas will know how this pans out. But I'm hooked. Sigh. And here I thought I had become so sophisticated and grown up and Europeanised.

Super hubs watching French TV while I sob like a baby at my laptop next to me.
