Story of two angels

I do wonder if the topic of this blog is appropriate. Maybe i should change it to "story of two children".

They come from nowhere on one fine day. I was certainly curious on why they choose to come to st.john's for a short exchange program. I guess, without needing to draw it out blatantly (aka "drawing out the sausage"), they must have been mislead or ill-informed. They have interesting names, one is called three-angles and another one sounds like some kid. They come and settled in 169, uni ave's basement making it into a nest of their own.

Back in their homeland, they live a dormant life but they were bored to death in this small city that they have to resort to register for a sport facilities membership to keep their spirit alive. I am certainly unsure of the end results because their favourite sport was eating at tim hortons. No wonder, they ended up gaining weight rather than loosing it.

Coming from a country with millions of population squeezed in a square foot land, they must have felt a sense of freedom here. The biggest mall has so much space that all they can see is space and not things that they can buy. Don't get fooled when they tell you i like to buy stuff, there is hardly anything that is worth buying here! haha!

They mix with people who speaks various languages. These two silly girls will laugh contagiously (sadly, one goes to the extent of crying!) when they learn new words that they didn't know exist in their mother tongue! Although they have only been away for 3 months, they now speak their mother-tongue differently. That's what i called peer-influenced (aka jean-fluenced!). I think when they are home again, hongkongers will think that they are malaysians. How funny!

I once pledged to stay away from carbohydrates once i am back from my vacation but i think since i am back, there have been endless eating gatherings held at terra nova manor. I will need to starve when they leave.They can cook, well, they can cook well for kids coz their signature dish is super soft vege rice. I think they have improvement in their culinary skills as they can now cook pretty good oyster sauce potatoes and pork! They even prepared the same dish for events held at uni ave. One of the most memorable event is the surprise birthday party that probably wouldn't have been successful without their help. Aside from this, the appearance of another sze ling for one month didn't help my resolution. I probably ate more than any months that i have been here so far! I guess, they will cry that they have never eaten so much in their life before!

The mother nature must have liked their presence in this most eastern part of Canada as well. It snowed so badly in their 3 months stay that the weather is finally turning good when they are about to leave. I hope they enjoyed the experience of walking through the tunnel of snow they they created themselves. We still have yet make a snowman!

I don't think they arrive on the 15th of the lunar calendar but i saw a full moon upon their arrival! Have you seen a full moon? This one even has a full split in between (you must be able to relate if i ask you what J.Lo is famous for!) but i wish to see no more! (hehe!) Kiddo, you sure got your own way to attract attention. However, both these two girls have unmatched naivety causing lots of jokes and laughter. It feels like i am in a kid's world when hanging out with them.

Although, they were able to score stunning marks in their economic paper by drawing fingers and mountains, i hope they learned something in the past 3 months. Without their calling for babi and mama, life in st.john's will be back to tranquility and monotonousity. I will certainly miss these two babies.


(-_-)***time really flies although these 3 months actually felt longer....
