haha same here bro.
I still remember the dialogs when we started to learn english in primary school
A: How are you?
B: I am fine. Thank you, and you?
A: I'm fine too...
I got to know ...
ME TOO,
at the first three months since landing three year ago, usually I just kept silence when local say hello to me. :)(because I really don't know how to have a response, not in the textbook!)

Last week, I overheard a conversation between two of my colleagues. Helen complained to Melissa that she had had a dream about work the night before. I burst out into laughter and asked Helen ...
was she really mad or what ??

No, she was just joking. We two make fun of each other a lot.

I am always wondering what is the meaning of "Fair Enough" ? And when or in what situation I should use it??

fair enough...

astina.

for example:
Staff member A: I will take tomorrow off in lieu of all the time I spent  travelling for business on weekends and/or after hours in the past month or so.
Staff member B: sounds fair enough to me but you'd better confirm with your boss.

coolioo.

fair enough: something that you say in order to show that you understand why someone has said or done something.....

i aways feel like chicks have more talent in language than guys. I mean during the same period of learning English, most of them can improve their English a lot better than boys can especially in speaking and listening.
oh well they might also have more opportunities to practice though. Its always better to learn a language by chatting or talking to a guy who wanted to chase you. hehe. Apart from that, girls can easily get along well with those aussie chicks in the office by bitching about everything, which guys won't be able to if not interested in footy or cricket. sigh...
