It was in the year 2023 right?! Yea I guess, 2023 I had just finished my secondary school the year before (2022). I was literally exhausted from my parents yelling at me all the time and telling me off because they still see me around them. Oh and I love to explore a lot, I love to check new things and poke my head into whatever that is interesting like.. that's the thrill of my life, I can enjoy myself for doing just that because it makes me whole, free, genuinely happy and of course.. I'm definitely meeting new people. So I back then downloaded a lot of foreign apps and yes they are Chinese apps.
I'm so in love with china and it's culture, food, lifestyle, fashion, and people like they just amaze me with their exceptional way of creativity and I feel like it's hard for other countries to keep up the pace with them, they're just too great and amazing.
I was busy trying to bond with people and to make friends in the outside world that differs from my own world . I had always wanted to make friends with people from other countries (that I love) which is china. Funny right? The "countries and the foreign" people I wanted to make friends with were no other than Chinese people because in my head, I find them exceptionally excellent in mostly everything and my love for them is just great and never ending. I'm the girl who gets tired of everything and anything so easily and I love perfection in my work, walk, words, actions and everything which that country had portrayed to me.
I wanted to know what it feels like to have friends from different countries and that speaks different languages, which prompted me to start learning Chinese as lazy as I was haha. I started to learn Chinese to be able to communicate with my friends (when I get to have my Chinese friends) I thought. So I started learning an learning even tho it was so hard for me a lazy girl who gets tired of almost everything and anything in just a minute. I tried, I watched movies, and still my head couldn't learn them well so you know, I proceeded in finding my friends. When I met my first Chinese friend.. I was so happy, he had Whatsapp so we exchanged number and we started talking. I realized he was older than me a lot so I started to call him "uncle" so uncle and I always talked like best friends, we exchanged photos of our daily lives together.. as at that time I was yet to enter into university. So I spent more of my time talking to him and he understood English a little.. it gave me a tearful happiness all time. So speed up to my birthday in December, I told him about my birthday and he asked what I wanted so I literally didn't have anything to ask him due to distance so I just told him to sing me a happy birthday song in his language, which he did. When I saw the video I was extremely happy that I started to jump on my bed like an idiot haha hehe.
Uncle really cherish me, and I really cherish him to because he's a very nice person and an amazing uncle. So 2024 I wished him happy new year we celebrated.. he told me not to do anything for him that he doesn't and wouldn't like me to do anything for him nor sing at all to celebrate a new year for him. So during their Chinese new year I wrote a long message and I wished him a wonderful year, he was so happy that he kept thanking me but I wasn't really happy because I couldn't send him gifts and I hadn't no money in my WeChat pay. I was devastated. Oh oh I didn't tell you, uncle helped me in creating my WeChat account and so, we always talked there on WeChat.
I got an admission to university and I resumed school.. I was stressed and packed with lots of homeworks and tests because I resumed school later than the others so I and uncle always missed each other and he got occupied with work too.. I was worried at first but then he told me not to worry that everything will be fine so we just continue to focus on our things..
In other to explore more, I was becoming bored in school without my uncle talking with me so I downloaded "kakaotalk" a Korean app. I met a lot of people there too because I added people randomly by just creating some joint words in my head like "shg4f" and others so I got some people's ID and I added them also I got added to groups through "community" or whatever that's called there, so I met people there in groups. I was excited to talk with people and I greeted in the group saying "hi's" and "hello's" and I was replied to by different people. Amongst this people that replied me, there was this cheerful sounding guy called "A" he introduced me to the entire group and welcomed me to the world of Korean and foreign people joining together and I really appreciated his warm arms bringing me in to the family. I was happy. Whenever I came online in kakaotalk also known as "kkt" I'd always ask for him and if he's not active or if he's busy I wouldn't talk to anyone, I'd just leave for the day. So later on, I got the idea of adding him as my friend so we started talking.. (I think he added me) whatever!! Anyways we became friends and became quite close and during this time of us talking with each other, feelings were cooking hahahaha. we literally share bond, we almost share our daily activities and daily life together, we share our inner pains and happiness together.. and so.. feelings cooked!!
