Saturday presentation

Got up around 8:30. got ready to go around 9am but checked my E-mails and found out that I got quite disturbing E-mail which made me upset all day but anyhow it was my big day and I was busy all day.
Decided to go to morning market to get some vegetables for curry. I was supposed to cook for everybody ,well it was my idea anyway. Had no idea how many people were coming so I bought a lot. Went to a supermarket first to get curry powder. I didn’t have to talk at all but when I gave the lady 1000gen she had to scrutinize. I was glad that she didn’t say anything.
Went to the morning market and looked for some vegetables. Found carrots and I got off my bike. Then I realized that I have to talk to buy things here. What do I say? There were some onions in the basket, too. I wasn’t too sure how many I needed so I gave this lady the whole basket. There were more than 10 onions in the basket. At this stage she knew that I couldn’t speak. I grabbed all the carrots she had and broccoli too.. She said something and I thought it was 3 something. I gave her 300gen and she said something else. I realized that I don’t even know the numbers.. well, I figured out that was 75 or something and I was 10 short. She said it’s ok sort of things. She had only few things there so if I bought few more things she could just go home. Some people had even fewer. I saw one old lady having only three items. .My basket was already full so I decided to go to the camp once. It was only 5 minutes away anyway. It wasn’t open so I opened the shutter for the kitchen. Left all what I bought and went back to the market. Found some potatoes. Asked the lady to give me a plastic bag and put ten of them. This was 300gen. went back to the camp and saw someone there. It was sin. She was just coming out from the studio. I told her that I did two trips already and now I’m going home to get my laptop. Sin said that she can give me a lift cause she has a motorbike. I told her it’s very close and I can just ride my bike but she said it’s ok she doesn’t mind so I hopped on her motorbike. She even had an extra helmet. I tried to be very quick to pick up my laptop and went back to the camp. Sin left after dropping me off.
I was still upset somehow so I put my music on. I just needed music.
Cha came with the big paper. I was so excited to see it. It was huge. I thought it’s too good to fold but I got two copies. I can keep one for myself.
I was so happy with the paper but still upset in a way. told him about the problems at home but I made it so short and he didn’t really get it. I trust people too much and many people said that I would get in trouble well, they are right.. but how about people here. They don’t have a lock for bicycles, you can leave your purse in the room unlocked, everywhere used to be like it I guess.
It was almost 11am so we started to cook. Ah came soon after we started and I asked him if he wanted to help us. He peeled some onions. Jos came and Cha’s mom came. They joined us and it was so much quicker. Jos seemed to have fun there.
We had leftover oden for lunch. Chf came follwed by Sin. They joined our lunch. Sin brought something for me I thought it was sweet but it wasn’t. I asked the name for it but forgot right away.
Sue came and joined our lunch. Sue and Sin had to leave.
Vegetables were all cooked so divided it into two pans. I was gonna add meat for one of them later.
The guy came for painting again.
It was close to two so we started to set up for my presentation. The projector wasn’t working well and the CD I made last night wasn’t in order anyway so we decided to use my laptop cause it’s brighter.
Put the curry paste after getting rid of the scum. Jos was very excited. Some people came for the presentation. Mr. lin and his wife were there too. She made some food for me. She also brought some photos to show me. It was about 10 people some were from last week’s workshop. Cha translated what I said and then I started my workshop. What I wasn’t expecting was that Cha left for film editing. So I was left with those people. The girl from bakery and her friends came very late. They sat around the other table and I had to start again. Every now and then I had to go back to the kitchen to stir the curry. Jos followed me so I asked her to do it every 5 minutes. She got the clock from the office and was doing what she was told to do. Good girl.
I just realized that we didn’t have enough plates so called Cha and asked him to get it on the way back. He was surprised that people were still there. Well many of them stayed until 6pm. We started “curry party” I ended up with having no meat which I didn’t mind. No one seemed to care anyway. People liked it and some were having the second. Kao called Cha to see if the Tofa was ok. I had totally forgot about it.
The movie started at 7pm. I stayed a bit but left after 10 minutes cause I was worried about things at home. cha called around 10 and said they just finished the film and there are some things going on. I said I would go if they have fireworks. He had to check with some people and found out it was on Monday.
Talked to my friend from Sydney and that made me feel a bit better.
