Random thoughts

Thank you all for your comments! :)Im really so happy to hear from you back home! Come to Hongkong if you can, cos a few days here can be enough for the best food, best shopping and best scenery! haha.

Suddenly it's friday already, this week really flew by very quickly. So many things happen in one day here for me, it's like, i can go to class in the morning, go out in the late afternoon hanging out, shopping, eating, then dessert at night. I kinda lose track of the days. It's only been about 10 days since I came here, but feels alot longer than that. haha.

Hmm. I think my cantonese has improved since last week you know! haha. conversing with locals isn;t that easy, but i do speak canto and try to practise as often as possible. Almost everynight, ame and i will chat with our female security guard downstairs at the counter! She's a really nice lady :)

Oh, and my korean class is really fun! I'm learning how to write the language, turns out that korean is actually made up of vowels and consonents, and it's actually not that difficult! haha. and korean is rather similiar to cantonese!! heh. and the korean teacher actually teaches the class in cantonese cos i guess im the only non-hongkonger in class, but surprisingly, i can understand her very well!! Must be the 20 years of conversing with my grandmas and the hongkong tvb serials and songs! =) Ya man, leen, i cant believe i'm actually enjoying school here! a lazy cat turning over a new leaf. hahaha. but seriously, exchange has made me more independent in many ways- i'm good w walking to school alone, waking up by myself, arranging my own schedule and all... Sometimes when i'm walking down the hill to school, i just look at the mountains and the wonderful scenery of the city and i'm so happy i can be here to enjoy this. I guess one semester is just the right length of time for exchange, a good break indeed!

This weekend's gonna be another busy one, so i'll update soon ok? in the meantime, I miss you mummy daddy, and all of you! i'll be back in 4 weeks =)
