Well, I acted pretty childish in front of the other volunteers.
Like normal. Had to say I was one of the most carefree ones there. Was thinking, "Gee, it's only three days. I've done this before but might as well enjoy it.
Time will pass by faster."
However, that day, it was anything but like always. Two guys STALKED us.
...To put it in a nice way, they loiter around our cart, hogged our games and slapped my nose. Well, one of them did while the other was more polite and smart.
I slapped his nose back. XDBut their stalking turned out worthwile in the end. XD
They took a puzzle from our cart and sat quite a distance away while trying to fix it. By this, I'm refering to the smart one. The other guy was like sprawling his legs on the floor in this sorta
seductive rude manner. The whole picture got me and Hazey's mine running wild and we secretly snapped a picture of them. On my phone. Yes, that means I won't be able to put it up for quite sometime (I don't have my phone's wire and it has no bluetooth. Boo hoo hoo.).
It's like this scenario is running through our head...
Rude guy: I have this awful itch on my upper thigh... Can you take a look?
Teh Smart: *is looing down at the puzzle which is covered by his legs but we can pretend he's looking down coz he's shy*Umm... But but...
...*coughs* Let's move on to the second day! Which is today! XD
Day 2I got grouped with Nadi and Fiona and we were in charge of Puzzle Cart A! We had to promote toys that the Science Centre was selling by teaching people how to play them! Sounds like fun? NAAAH...
But anyways, we saw this group of Japanese school students. They had brown checkered skirts and white sleeveless shirts. Sorta cute if I do say so myself. =) The guys were wearing white shirt and long pants. Haha, like Nias with pimply faces! Minus their pimples though, and they're quite the bishies! Hmm hmm hmm~ <3.
I didn't manage to talk to them coz I was afraid my Japanese was ditch-standard but I finally mustered up the courage when Nadi persuaded me too.
Me: Ano! Irrashaimase! (Em...! Welcome!)
Group of Girls: *stop in surprise* Wooah! *glee* Haii! Haii! *gather around our cart*
Me: Eto... *slightly nervous that everyone was staring at her* Wa-watashi wa namae wa Hazrina desu. Yoroshiku onegai shimasu. *slight bow* (My name is Hazrina. I hope we get along.)
GOG: Wah! *laugh* Sugoi! *clap* Hai! Yoroshiku! (Wah! Amazing! Yes! Let's get along!)
At this time, I was pretty embarrased. I felt like an exhibit myself! And I hid behind Nadi. This resulted in them going...
GOG: *gush* Ahhh! Kawaii!! *squeal* (Ahhh! So cute!)
Me: *VERY embarrased*
Nadi: *to me* Ask them 'How are you?'!
Me: Em... Genki desuka? (literally translated: Are you well/energetic?)
GOG: Haii! Genki! Genki! *obviously enjoying themselves from their gushing & laughing*
Nadi: *to me* Ask for their school?
Me: Like WTH I dunno how to ah just gonna try... *face them* Eto... Anta gakuen namae nanda? (What is your school's name? + In a very crappy sentence structure I bet+ )
GOG: *looks at each other* Gakuen na? Gakuen? *turn to me* Ryogaki! Ryogaki Gakuen!
Me: *very uncertain* R-ryo-gaki?
GOG: *nodding encouragingly* Haii! Sou sou! (Yes! Right! Right!)
At this point of time, I ran out of things to say but they were squeeing over my awful abuse of their native language for quite some time. Then apparently, they needed to go,
GOG: Sayonara! Mata! ( +different forms of 'goodbye'+ )
Me: Mata ashita... *waves uncertainly while smiling* (See you tomorrow + Which is such a dumb farewell!! *bashes head on wall*)
GOG: *surprised* Ooh! Mata ashita! *smile smile*
Me: Ja ne! (Goodbye!)
And they wave while they headed for the exit, laughing and smiling. I was, like, breathing a sigh of relief. Conversing has never been so difficult and tiring...
And there was like so many mistakes with my Japanese! 'Irrashaimase' does mean 'welcome' but it's used mostly to welcome others into a shop! I should have used 'Youkosou'! And 'ja ne' denotes familiarity between friends! I should have been much more formal with them! *angst angst* I'm a failure..
....Tanoshi katta ne? (It was fun though?) XD
Makes you wonder what's gonna happen tomorrow eh? Stay tuned! ^0^
