A gloomy Thursday

After a couple weeks of beautiful sunshine, the rains came around. I guess Sydney is one place which needs rain and lots of it.

Today I got to wake up to the sounds of a Chinese man mumbling all this mutter. Turns out that he was the CABLE GUY. Finally I have internet at my place. It didn't even need to be fast. Fast enough so I could blog and write my emails.

A weird thing today was that even though I couldn't understand everything the cable guy was saying, I could still understand what he was trying to get across. For example,

Actual: "Mutter...mutter....mutter....toilet mutter?"
Translation: "Where is your bathroom?"

Actual: "Mutter...mutter....mutter...email mutter mutter mutter."
Translation: "I have activated your email account for you."

I think I can boast that I can understand Chinglish better because of him.
