Well my coughing is back... with all the negatives emotions. I apologize, but complaining is becoming a sport. Damn the change of seasons and this weak body of mine. I seriously think I'm gonna need more vitamins. Or less waiting in the cold night. Once again, I didn't listen to my body and decided to go out at 8:30 last night. Some friends didn't show up, some others just came late... Well the word late applies to 15 minutes. 30 minutes late is quite late... But I was too sick and tired to throw a tantrum... So we just went in. We were supposed to play pool but there was no table available. T.T
I was thus gonna either have to go for a drink or go home. I chose to go for a drink, thinking I had come all the way there for a purpose. The first hour or so was hell, like seriously. I was the only non- Chinese-speaker in a bar where people were apparently allowed to smoke. So I had to spend an hour listening to a language that I didn't understand, smelling the horrible stench of cigarettes and beer (which I despise almost as much as cigarettes)... The thought "I should learn Chinese" kept popping up to my mind. Then I realized that even after years my Korean and my Japanese are still at an intermediate level, so Chinese will have to wait. Maybe I just won't ever learn it. Then a miracle happened. I sang one Chinese song that I knew and suddenly, the others started warming up to me and talking to me in English. I should never doubt my social skills. lol.
The point of this is that... even though I was convinced that I was gonna have a hard, annoying and frustrating time, I ended up having a pretty nice evening, meeting new people and experiencing something different. I'm not sure I want to do that every night, but that definitely means I need to give chances and open up a bit more before judging a situation.
