Went to queenstown (or is it queensway? s= ) to get this pair of missy-ellite/adidas shoes. instead, walked out of D'Oritale, wondering -What. The. Hell. Just. Happened.-
went to the shop just to look the erhus, then my dad forced me in to view the erhus. the zealous (over, perhaps?)
*oh yuck a housefly just landed on my keyboard* righhhtttttttt.....
the salesmans mandarin was so gosh-darn cheem, and he even had this china-chinese accent. was struggling to understand his techno-advanced mandarin the whole time round
it was like:
him -*horribly strong chinese accent* ni du she me xue xiao? (what school do you study at?)
me -swiss cottage
him -*more tongue-twisting* shiu shi ni de lao shi? (whos your instructor?)
me -*blank look on face; wonders whether it would be rude to address mr chua by his full name* errr... mr chua...
him -*suddenly smiles widely* OHHHH! eddie chua shi ma? wo men da jia do ren shi *(oh! you mean eddie chua? we know each other)
Then he began speaking really really fast so i just nodded, smiled, and gave blank stares.
Despite my lousy mandarin, managed to understand that hes the conductor of ACS. WOW. hes must be what? 24? and hes a conductor. amazing. oh btw ACS got GOLD not COP. oh he plays the dizi too. now why didnt i joined woodwinds in the first place?... hmmm... heh. now i wanna join ACS barker xP
anyhoo, spent two hours in there. didnt really feel like buying but felt a bit bad if i didnt buy cos we had wasted so much of his time, so i bought the erhu.
Have no idea how much it costs .______. must be one of those cheapo ones since my parents are hell-bent on not telling me its price. sounds really nice though i dont really like the colour. wish it were black but oh well its much better than nothing right?
Oh did i mention that i didnt get my shoes? arghh.. x.x
