About the other part of my Hongkong life... City University of Hongkong...

I realised that this whole blog has been mostly about the fun wonderful activities, people and interesting events, and hardly anything about my school life! haha. So, i think i have to inform you all that it's not all play and no work here, although if you compare this to school in NTU, school life here is a bed of roses =)

I have a 3 school day week here! And the best part is... I have mondays and tuesdays off!!! So it really is wonderful once the weekends arrive haha. I'm clearing 4 modules here, 2 banking and finance, 1 business core and 1 elective. Total hours I spend in class is 12 hours per week, 3 hours for each subject.

The most interesting subject i'm taking this semester has to be Korean 1!! =) I actually enjoy and look forward to going to class. Has to be the teacher who's really patient and kind. Korean is interesting, gotta memorise my vowels and consonants soon! it's pretty funny when miss kim, my teacher, gets us to sing korean songs in class! we learnt the Da Chang Jin song last week, haha. this is what learning should be like really!

Then, I have 2 banking and finance mods, which are officially the most boring modules this sem! haha. For Advanced Corporate finance, a weds afternoon class, I have to buy a whole box of cut fruits to munch on to stop me from falling asleep. And for international banking, my only class on friday, i bought a box of jelly beans and had to resort to listening to my ipod occasionally to keep me from dreamland! haha. finance modules are much more difficult as compared to Comm studies modules, cos the english terms used are mostly official and i guess the students in finance are really quite driven and competitive, like in ntu! My lecturers speak good english, most of them were educated in the states or britain, so understanding them isn;t much of a problem. in fact, i actually think my lecturers here speak better english than most of the professors back home in ntu!

Hmm, i think i should take some pictures of my university campus, the classrooms and all. Soon ok?

As for this weekend, I really feel so blessed and thankful to be surrounded by such wonderful warm people like amelia's aunty! Besides bringing us out for GREAT lunches after church, she invited us to stay over at her apartment at Happy Valley tomorrow night! She works for HSBC, and has this super spacious, lovely 3 bedroom apartment on a hill at Central, the rich expats area ok! We're going to Lamma Island for SEAFOOD tomorrow night!!! Gonna take a ferry from Hongkong Island. hahaha. I'm really looking forward to it. Just realised that Hongkong has lots of nature trails and really beautiful scenic areas to explore... such as Cheong Chau, Lamma Island etc. Next week, ame and I will be going with a few of our REALLY nice hongkong friends to Yuen Long for great food and for local hongkong delicacies. Got to know some very sociable, outgoing and genuinely nice hongkong friends these few days - been mahjong-ing, and WII-ing. haha. Wii is this nintendo game thing we play on the tv at the common room! it's something like PS 3 i heard, haha, its SUPER fun ok!!! i dont really know how to describe the game, will take pictures soon!
