I had a visit from a little birdie last night.

I had just carried my laptop into the bedroom so I could lay down and play abit before I sleep when I noticed a yellow bird perched on the side of my bed.

Cue scream.
"为什么有一只鸟在我的床！？”
I swung around and glared accusingly at my sister, thinking it was her idea of a practical joke, because it seriously looked like a fake bird (it was motionless despite all the commotion).

Anyway it turned out to be a real bird :/ My papa tried to catch it but it flew away and hid behind my sister's shelf of books. More jostling and shifting of books before we found the yellow birdie. According to my papa, it was a songbird or something like that (I'm supposed to think that the 'chip chip chip' is a tune??)? Apparently it could fetch good money (roll eyes, but what do i know about birds?) but well, being the nice people that we are, we freed it. Smirk.



On an entirely different note, I noticed something today：the two angmoh exchange students in my class carrying the NTU sling bags. Which led me to wonder why. Don't they have their own bags? Bags that are trendier? And they are girls leh. I thought girls are supposed to be fashion-conscious or something? Or perhaps as mel had pointed out, they didn't really care cos no one knew them here? But then again, the other exchange students (jap and taiwanese) weren't carrying them. Hur.

So would you carry it? Even though it doesn't exactly make a fashion statement (blue and black with ntu stenciled at the corner of the flap of the bag. Yea right.).

Actually I probably won't mind. Now I suddenly feel that our uni is more generous. The HK uni i went to for exchange didn't even offer me as much as a free pen. The only memento I brought back (the sch's PE tee) was purchased with my own money :/ Snort.

Bah, whatever. I'm gonna go rest. Hopefully there won't be another birdie waiting for me on my bed.
