Busy & Happy Birthday Week

20th Nite - Magic Club Tea Gathering. Paid HKD 15 and can enjoy learning magic tricks, watched awesome magic performance, ice breaking games and snacks party !!

21st Nite- Asian's nite at St Joseph's restaurant @ Graduate House. Invited by Lee Ling (Malaysian working in Global lounge) to gather for a dinner between Asians. Well, Malaysians made up 70% of the population or more, some from thailand, some from singapore, indonesia and myanmar. We had a western style course meal for free !! Wow


22nd Nite-Mid Autumn Festival Gathering @ St John's Bar. Another awesome gathering organised by our seniors. I really like them !! haha
Had lots of fun and ate lots of different flavour mooncake, thou v din;t play lantern, we did hav some traditional games like musical chair (LOL), HKU traditional game -first impression ...


23rd Nite- My very big day, YES !! I turned 20 officially !! Hmm.. very significant bday in my life cuz is the first time I m celebrating without my family, away from Malaysia. T.T
One big compensation is that I will be watching Jay Chou's concert tonight in Hung Hom with my floormate !! OMG.. can't imagine I will b able to share my bday nite to him...XD

Needless to say, the concert was really awesome, n the best 1 I had ever seen !!
Not forgetting my day time precious memory, Heather brought me together with her "sisters" for a trip to Noah's Ark, a newly established theme park in HK, near Tsing Ma Bridge.

Also, really felt warm receiving bday cards from family (Malaysia), from Wan Jing(UK), from Eden (US) as well as from a Canadian HKU exchange student-Rosalind. Not forgetting my only sms wish (T.T) from Cherry Jane, neglecting the cost she need to pay for oversea messaging !

24 Nite- Again, this night was nothing more special than Jay Chou last show in HK !! I had a biology lab session however till 6.30pm, I just can't make myself focus on the experiment, and kind of ruined it instead. I ended up causing more time delay =(. But, I don't care. I was too excited, can;t wait to watch Jay again !! This time, with a Malaysian HKU senior, sook voon.
Our seats were nearer to stage, but almost 90degree to stage, can hardly see Jay when he plays piano T.T
You juz can;t imagine how talented Jay is, his show was so different from last night, most importantly, tonight special guest was A-Mei !! So So So HIGH we were !! We cheered aloud for fourth encore, but it seems impossible and we left reluctantly after abt 20 mins of prolonged stay.


25th - Early morning, we were kind of being chased out by Hall as they were spraying insecticides. Thus, few of us(floormates), went Central lian xiang lou for morning tea, at 9.30am.
Well, again it was crowded. But not as nice as Sheng Heng I think. They don't have the yellowish yolk bun. I then rushed back to meet the others 100+ international students for departure to Tai Tum Tuk for BBQ. We went in 2 buses, sit with Felicia and Sharon, we chatted a lot about shopping, food... in HK. Play Dai Dee, magic, BBQ, tug-o-war, tricycle rides, glass ball chess,..... Have lots of fun again !! FOR FREE !! haha

26th Nite-After days of"HEA" (cantonese). I decided to spent my day revising. I did !! Wow .. haha
till evening, I had not taken any meals. Cindy (floormate) asked me to go for dinner together. We went down to Westwood and dine in Japanese restaurant. $140++ for 2 of us. Not as nice as Sakae, the $ not so nice too ! I miss Sakae !!

3rd Week of School

Everything starts to settle down and I was getting busier. Hate doing CAES 1801 Essay !
Can't think of a good idea to write on.

Went to collect my HK ID, it only took me about 15 minutes for the whole process.

Had first ever CC tuto in Medical campus, which is 10 minutes bus-distance away
In a group with many pharmacy students, and I am the only non-local. Our topic was- What is Life. Well, a very difficult and debatable topic.

Enjoy playing "Leg-orgs" in our CC, but felt asleep during the first 1.5H of boring lecture.

On Friday night, Heather visited me and we chat a lot on essay and the biotech GE course, until I was called by 5th Floor guys, only then we realise it was 11.10pm !! According to the rules of Starr Hall, no visitors are allowed to stay beyond 11pm. OMG.. we rushed down and signed out. Unfortunately, my name was highlighted. I had a bad feeling. Really, I received a verbal warning for this offense 3 days later. T.T

Is kind of like my first ever warning received in my life. Unacceptable. But no choice, take it easy!! Though I put myself at a higher risk of being kick out the hall next year..... Haiz

First time self-cooking

It has been raining non-stop since friday night. I still made it to Wellcome supermarket with Rosalind to buy ingredients to cook for our dinner.

I bought spare ribs (in a packet of 7), with Lee Kum Kee sauce, as well as indomie and other frozen food. Kay came to visit me as well as Heather. They tried on my food and said it was nice ... Though it will taste better if not so hangus.. But I really enjoy eating.. I miss the taste and I like pork ribs !

Sold my jay chou ticket and met with new friend

Only woke up at 12pm. After skyping and fb, is already time for me to go Central to meet with a girl named Vivi. She was helping her friend to buy Jay Chou ticket from me ( a $280 ticket which I have extra). At first we like wanna leave just after we exchanged our ticket and $, but eventually we started up chatting and it last for half an hour.

We are die hard fans of Jay. She was nice and recommended me to visit a forum in fm 903 whereby there were a group of them "wolf" chatting about jay or any issues around Jay daily, in a post of more than 3000 pages.

Since I was in Central, I decided to have my dinner there as well. My mum thought that today is my Lunar birthday, but actually it is tomorrow, 12/9. But I am treating myself a so called birthday dinner which is quite luxury to me, a lamb shoulder + spaghetti set.( $ 84) So full, I can only finished half the spaghetti and soup, and 2.5 of 3 of the lamb shoulder. What a waste, if in Malaysia, I am sure I will be sharing it.

My HK friend who are suppose to watch concert with me on 23, 24 can;t turn up as her mum enter wad. So sad and feel sorry for her. But I am in troubles, I need to find people to take over her tickets immediately, not much time left to 16/9!!
Luckily, a malaysian senior will be watching with me on 24th, but I still have problem on 23rd show. I really wanna watch on that day, as it is my birthday ! And I feel like upgrading my 480 to 880 tickets too, but I m certain that I do not want to watch alone on that day. Please, some one watch with me !!

Thai Horror Movie

Today suppose to have ghost stories campus tour at night for unit O, but due to rain, the event changed to Movie watching in Sum's room. There were about 20 + of us, all squeezed inside a single room, some sit on the beds, some on the matress on the floor, some even on table !

It was my first time watching horror movie, and luckily with so many people. At least when I screamed, I will not be alone and can hold on each other arm when feeling scared. It was about 5 different stories, I enjoy watching all of them especially the last one. Scary at some scenes, shocking at some scenes, sad at some scenes, funny ast some scenes.....

Luckily I can still sleep well at night...

Have Fun in Unit cooking

All freshman of 4, 5th Floor need to cook specified dishes. There are 3 groups, I am with Isabella and Nathan. Our topics are Tomato,Tofu and 鱔 (Something like eel??) After our classes at 4.30pm, we went down to Shek Tong Zui market. Their pasar is so well organised and big, with 3 floors, it has escalators !! Unlike pasar in Malaysia, pasar pagi closes completely around 11pm and pasar malam only starts about 5pm. Here, you can basically buy food at the most convenient time afternoon after work or school.

Very soon, we gathered all required ingredients for HKD 133 and went back cooking. I stuffed the tofu with fish paste while Isabella was doing on the 鱔. At last, Nathan cooked the fried tomato egg but he partly failed because he did not even add salt to it...

Other group are cooking pork, chicken feet soup, some vege and 田雞,celery and Yong Tou Fu.
Surprisingly all our dishes were very very delicious, especially those by Emily's group. I like the pork meat very much ! Is my first time eating 鱔, and I found it quite nice also.

Aftershock movie + Japanese Dinner

After school, I took bus-MTR to Po Lum, Tseung Kwan O, purposely to watch a movie called Aftershock 唐山大地震. A very sad touching movie recommended by my whole family in Malaysia, they asked me to watch it no matter how. I cried even watching the trailer. Only 8 of us in the cinema, maybe because this movie were shown for quite some time in HK, thats why it is so hard for me to find a cinema that is still showing this.

I really recommend this to everyone, just watch it, you will be touched by the story and perhaps we can learn better how to appreciate what we have with us now. And also, to feel more sympathy to those quake victims and devote our time and money in helping them.

On the way back, I got down the train and take a look of the Tseung Kwan O MTR station, hoping that I would find traces of TVB City, but I can't obviously =(

Just after I reached hall, I followed my unit to Central for japanese dinner buffet, 180 per person. Lot of variety, you just can't finish all of them and utilises all that you had paid, but it's ok for me, as long as I have eaten what I want to and food that worth HKD 180 to me. I like to salmon sashimi especially, so freshy.
