Up for Adoption

My two Ryukin goldfish fr Mongkok fish Market. I named them Kinyobi and Mokuyobi (Kin and Moku in short) respectively; which means Friday - Gold day and Thursday - Wood day in Japanese.

With 2 more weeks to go before I leave HK, Kinyobi and Mokuyobi are up for adoption. I will miss how they brighten up my hostel room and yes, they are looking for a caring owner to give them a new home. So if you are a caring fish enthusiast, they are all yours. Goldfish bowl, filter, fish food, water plants and of cos, the two ryukins are provided!

(P.S Update as of 09/12/2010 - My room mate has decided to adopt the ryukins! She cant bear to leave them to someone else. Thanks roomie! Gd luck!)

Fog

Fog up in the Peak... Its quite cold... Brrr!!!

Red Brick Building

Walking along the rustic corridors of an old building - my roomie said it used to be a haunted house... Hmmm...

The School Bus

It does'nt help huffing and puffing up the enormous hilly campus and reaching my destination to find out that a campus bus does reach the place...

What have I been up to =)

Nice sign by a student leader - The thing is we took too many a photo =p

The Mahjong Culture, HK

During my first week here, my HK hostel neighbours came over n asked me to join them across the hall for Mahjong as they were looking for a 4th player. I tried to explain that I dont know how to play mahjong...Friendly as they are, they started teaching me n told me to learn as I play along. It is quite comical as I am not very sure abt my tiles n often look at the person next to me n ask

Me(Out of curiosity - pointing at his tiles )
: "Is that 中? You waiting for 红中?"
The poor guy : " Shhhh!!!! Dont tell others my tiles!!!"

We often ended in fits of giggles during mahjong sessions... They are just too nice to tell me not to sabotage their game(which I'm still so confused abt)

The Non-Local Student

4 hrs flight and I'm in bustling HK for the next 3 mths n its our orientation week. I guess as a SG Chinese, our culture is more or less the same as HK Chinese. Here is what I as a non-local student will experience :

1) Lots of Leng Zais - Yes, I come here for exchange program but it wont hurt to look at the many handsome HK guys around right? Plus, they are better dressed here(pffft...not in boring T-shirt, shorts n slippers)
2) Food - Oh yes.... food, glorious food! I have high standard of the food here. (PS : HZ, I will tag u lots of Cha Chan Teng photos... U can see but u cant eat! Muhahaha!)
3) Night Life - HK is a city that never sleeps so here I come =p
4) Hostel Life - After 3 days here, hostel life in HK involves a lot of marching, song singing n laughing loudly in corridors (eh....Sounds very much like sec sch). Yes, we learn how to sing the Hostel song - Viva St John. (eh..) Oh... I was told to get some formal wear for high table dinners here, which is an important part of HKU hostel life.
5) Making New friends and have fun -Yes! That's a good reason why I'm in the exchange program. There's no way I'm going to hole up in my room and I'm getting ready my adventurous streak.
6) Photography - Photos, photos, lots of photos. The thing is, I'm too lazy to post them up =p
7) Lastly, mugging - Oh groans.... Wait, most lectures are on tues n thurs. So cheers!!!

Till date, stay tune =p

He's Back

My eldest Brother looks on after the rain. (P.S : This shot looks like I sneaked behind and took a shot.)

After 4 long years...

After 4 years, + 2 semesters in uni, it came. Now its another 3 more years to my goal of completing BSc...

Practicality

Lately, a contact of mine has been pestering me about some quick-get-rich-scheme. I do not like the idea of feeding the person with false hopes and beliefs, so I rejected the person quite quickly.

Just like me, we are young and I personally believe that being young is an asset + having education and gaining relevant work experience. Yeah, this type of get rich scheme sounds to good to be true and there are obviously better ways of obtaining monetary rewards.
(Put your feet firmly to the ground, if you get what I mean).

I do not enjoy meeting some people who thinks that all NUS undergrads are well-loaded and often introduce and get us involve in some crackpot thing of sales pitch and further planning overly rosy prospects that would very well-fatten ur wallets. ( Come on, we are mature enough to know that its some kind of scheme).

The thing is this. Our goals are very simple. Study, finish our degree, go out to work. If it aint spelled clearly to you then just leave us alone. Goodbye.
