"Een nieuwe lente, een nieuw gebouw!"
M:What is lente? people?
R:Nee, it's spring.
M:Ahhhhhh!(ppl in my group laughed at my ahhh)
M:But then why is it a new spring, a new building? it doesn't make sense.
R:Because spring is always a new start, everything grows in spring.
M:Ahhhh! (they laughed at it again!)
That's why I feel rejuvenized!(laughters)
(wondering why they laughed at all my sentences...)
I still don't get it. They started the construction in winter and the building will not be finished this spring..... then why are they distributing flower seeds in this spring??
Someone asked me as an asian, shouldn't I be able to understand the hidden meaning behind the words. Firstly, I never really can understand those unspoken words and this could be seen in my poor chinese grades. (<60, the total points is always 100, the passing grade is 60.) Secondly, I guess it's because I am from a tropical island, where the differences among the four seasons are not that apparent. Therefore, I failed to notice that everything is so different in spring.

should ask roland for his original spring sentence..... which drove me to come up with the rejuvenized idea.
Roland says because the building now is coming out from the ground like the flowers. therefore, he thinks the dutch spring epression makes sense.
silly, but i like it.
