My dear new budy.

Hi, my new budy!

Dr Pang found me a new budy for my original budy Xuelian was sick. At the very beginning, I felt a little bit anxious for that shortened my time with one budy, I was afraid wether my new budy would treat me as good friends like she treated Hongting and Tongtong who were known by her at the first day.

However, being companied by Jiawen, my new budy, for two days, I felt so grateful to her. She is a really lovely and outgoing girl. I was quite short in finding new topics when speaking with newly met person while she did not mind and introduced me to everybody she met. Jiawen told me she was born in Dalian, Liaoning for both of her parents were Chinese. However, she came to Singapore since she was 7, which made her having the character of Singaporean. Besides, she told me she used to work in shops, gaining money by herself and experienced different attitudes among Singaporeans towards Chinese- what kind of habits was considered rude and what was considered polite. It was better for us to behave politely according to Singaporean manners for we gonna spend our time in Singapore and integrate Singapore.  Jiawen has both the  Chinese style connotation and Singaporean style nature and grace. I like her very much.

 

What is more, in the same class, Jiawen and I spent a great time with Meixuan, Hongting, Peiyu and Tongtong.  All of us followed each other's step and never fell behind. It seemed we had known each other for many years. Haha....Whatever, I love this close friendship.

 

However, I felt sorry to the boys in Jiawen's class. For I am quite shy and say little words when facing people who I met for the first time, especially the opposite gender,  it looked like  I was a cold girl. One boy poorly asked if he obstructed the communication between my budy and me, but I felt surprised because I never had that thought... That was something I really need to change.

 

Everyday in JC is a good lesson for life!

Thank you~ my dear new budy for offering me a good lesson.
