It was semester break but for some reasons, I didn't go back to Perlis. There's a global cooperation program between Daegu Uni. and my university at that time and I'm not the participant. ha ha ha ha I'm not qualified to participate in such program please...//I'm not that smart// but I accidentally became the interpreter for the program. lol actually my friend asked me to help him because he said the Korean students in his group can't really speak English. So, at first...supposedly, I have to help my friend's group...but I ended up be the interpreter for other groups as well. ha ha ha ha ha my level is way far from the interpreter level but I tried my best to help. lots of things happened and I learn new things too. It's such a good experience.
Me as an interpreter....hmmmm actually it's so sudden. Seriously. ha ha ha ha One fine day, I was having my lunch...but suddenly my friend asked me to come to the campus and help him to translate something. kesian pulak mereka macam ayam dengan itik berkomunikasi. language barrier make things hard sometimes. So I decided to go and give a hand.
I walked to the campus...feeling kinda nervous...mind went blank...adrenaline rush...I hate that. ha ha ha ha ha~~ while waiting for my friend outside the lab...few Korean students passed by. I was like...fuiyo! oppa~ ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha lamunan terhenti. My friend came and took me to his group's discussion room. I entered the room awkwardly....ha ha ha ha ha then I introduced myself and the group continue doing their work and discuss about the new sustainable product that they wanted to invent. The task sounds complicated for me. Glad that I was just the interpreter there..lol
My friend's group (apparently my group as well)
Then, a professor came into the room. I was like..dang! what to do? I'm pati (illegal immigrant) here!! lol iya lahh... I was there because of my friend's personal request. The lecturer in charge doesn't even know about my existence there. The professor looked at me and he's like who are you?... ha ha ha~ My friend then explained why I was there. LOL I freaked out for no reason. The professor said it's ok for me to be there since I'm helping his student.
Tea time. Everyone came out from their discussion room to get some refreshment. I stayed in the room. Minsoo also stayed. We had a short conversation while waiting for others. Suddenly, Minsoo's friends came in...Minsoo introduced me to his friends and I greeted them. Funny thing was... I only said Annyeonghaseyo...but those guys were like..OMG YOU SPEAK KOREAN...and I was like... he he he he yes..I learn Korean so I can speak a little. Then, one of the guy went out to call his friends and suddenly there's more Koreans in front of the room. It's crowded. LOL I was like...WHAT'S GOING ON?? I DIDN'T EXPECT THIS. feeling like a celebrity for a second. ha ha ha ha I believe they're just curious. They wanted to see who is that girl who speak their language. So yeah...I speak their language...I greeted everyone..introduced myself...and they went OMG THIS IS GREAT. PLEASE COME TO OUR ROOM. WE NEED YOUR HELP. lol I never thought that myself is so important to them. rofl!
