orz


listening to eason chan in my car as i go 120kmh to work every day.

for some reason i always felt like the mini bus and the bus drive very fast. it was because i didn't really understand the conversion btwn mph and kmh. now that i compare, i realize that they actually drive very slow. its the impression that they drive fast because the roads are smaller. the fastest i've gone on a mini bus is about 75-80kmh. ironicallly, i drive at over 100kmh usually haha.... -____-


i was looking at pictures of UST yesterday... it feels like ages since i walked the footbridges to class.

i miss the food. i attempted to have siu mai today. cannot compare. omg. then i tried to have bubble tea... i paid 38hkd for it only to taste a watery bland sugar water. i am disspointed. i will have to learn to make my own milk tea.


i will learn to make sui mai.

Home isn't any different from when I left it.  In fact, nothing at home has changed.  Everything is still in the same place I left it.  The people are still the same.  The places are still the same. 

Its comforting.



Hong Kong seems like it was a dream.

Its a RECORD

For the first time in my life, I have gotten straight C's. Its totally awesome because when I go home, nobody will ever know by looking at my transcript. I honestly didn't even put enough work in this semester to deserve all C's. I definitely deserved to fail at least one of my classes. Elec210 was one of them. Stat and probability for EE... I will be auditing the class in fall when I go home. I'm not sure why he passed me because he really should not have.  Thank you bert shi.  I am auditing stat next semester at home because I know i didn't pay attn in your class at all.  And i'm sorry for that. HK was just too damn fun.  


I put about one week of hard studying into this whole semester. While this would have allowed me to pass a core class at home, I somehow managed to scrape up a pass for two elec courses, a sosc, and a mgto class.


Its time to go home. Its time to work hard. I'll be back again someday to play.
 

Since moving home...

The past few days have gone by so quickly. :(

Monday was spent recovering from the two nights out.  Got up at around noon. Went exploring with Mav and Kurt.  Ate Peking duck at TST with Kurt and Eugene.  The food was not up to par lol.  But it was fun hanging out with people.  We ran around the Penninsula afterwards taking pictures in the hotel -__-"


Tuesday was spent exploring more of HK I think. Went to explore with Kurt in Fanling and Sheung Shui.  There were a few temples in Fanling but nothing really interesting.  Sheung Shui was better and we were rewarded with a food market.  The third level had a food court and I got cheung fun for $5.  God I love food. After that we ran around the streets nearby.  There was lots of fun stuff to look at.

Wednesday was free museum day! Ate at Yoshinoya with Mav and had beef and rice.  So delicious.  Mav's gf and Kurt came by later and we hit up the museums.  We found Kiwing in the MTR station and took him along too.  Hit up the space museum first, and then the art museum.  There was a Louis Vuitton exhibit that we went to see.  Didn't really understand any of the artsy stuff but it was cool to say that we went anyways.  The science museum was fun too.  Afterwards kurt and I headed to Kowloon Bay where we met up with Todd and YP.  There was some delicious food at Ngau Tau Kok that we tried.  Not long after, Jay and Alex came and then we headed to the restaurant to eat.  It was a farewell dinner for Kurt since he was leaving the next morning.  Heading back to the somewhat glamorous US of A.  After dinner, Kurt, Jay, Alex, and I went to Sai Kung to have Honeymoon Dessert.  I had Strawberry Sai Mai Lo and a Mango Milk thing.  Damn delicious. 

I love food. 

Kurt failed to buy his honeymoon dessert t-shirt. And we went back to school. 

The rest of the night was spent talking and packing.  YP and I moved out by noon.  I had to call the parentals to help me with my junk.  Before they came I had one last delicious breakfast at LG1.  My porkchop with instant noodles.  

After moving home, I have become lethargic.  I went out to eat with the parents and then spent the rest of the night sorting through clothes and stuff.  

I had to share a bed with mom that night because dad was using the other room for his day trading.  What horrendous sleep.  I felt like I was trapped. Kept waking up every half an hour confused.  Got up at noon and then went to Wan Chai Immigration Office to get my Visa extended.  I dropped off my form and was told to come back by 4:30.  So I went off to eat something delicious.  I looked around for a good cha chan tang to eat at but didn't see anything that I was really drawn to.  I ate a dan tat and kept walking.  Was going to wait until 2/2:30 so that I could get ha mm cha but then I saw a Pizza hut and decided to try hk pizza.  $35hkd got me a coke, soup, garlic bread, and a personal pizza.  Not bad! =]  Not long after that I saw the australian dairy and i had a chocolate err milk thing.  delicious! =]  Went back to the immigration office by 4:30, waited until 5:30, only to be told that I would have to come back next week because they can't extend my visa yet -__-" 

Had dinner at Tai Koo Shing with a friend and wandered around HK island some more.  Had some gai dan zhai and walked into alot of supermarkets hahahaha.  

Today.... Got up damn late again. Had duck with the parents and then Dad went off with his friend.  I took mom to Heng Fa Chuen. Wasn't much there and then I took her to Kowloon Bay to have to dai pai dong food before they tore it down.  We had dau jurng, gai dan zhai, waffle thing, and quail eggs.  We walked back to the MTR and took the bus to Megabox.  Megabox isn't all that it was hyped up to be.  Yea, its 17 levels, but I feel like there wasn't much inside.  

Afterwards, headed to Sham Shui Po to the computer center.  I picked up a static stylus for my ipod touch and a multicharge cable that takes psp,ds,mini usb, gba, and ipod. Was looking for a mouse but then I fell in love with the Microsoft Arc mouse.  I really want to get it now -__-" $399hkd was the cheapest that I saw... maybe I will get it...

Went to Mong Kok to wander around Argyle center.  Didn't buy anything but it was good to just walk around after eating all afternoon.  Came back to HK island and ate beef spicy noodle at Pau Toi Shan. Err fortress hill. =P Damn delicious.  

Sleep time.

Play all night!

I slept at 7am this morning.  Again.


Somehow got up at around noon and stumbled towards the atrium to eat.  I was going to just get mcdonalds and head back to the room to eat with the air con on but I ended up on the 792m bus to sai kung.  they had the best pineapple bun EVER.  I will be going back again. Very soon. haha. They had fresh trays of pineapple bun come out every 10 minutes.  I got one and sat down only to get up five minutes later to get another one.  I also got a portugese tart which was delicious.  

I could have eaten more but I already had plans for the night. I headed back to UST and went out to Causeway bay. We had Japanese lai mien which was totally amazing. Ended up running around hk island for most of the night and playing on playgrounds in victoria park. The park is actually huge and its got a running track and alot of random play areas.  Surprisingly this is the first time I have gone -___- 

As a result, I have a million insect bites on my feet which were not covered.  I also have this cluster on my arm which looks like I have the plague or something.  

So itchy.
