Reading Week Is Indeed A Reading Week

Hello

Sorry for the no updates... been busy ...

So what has happened so far? i went back home to celebrate Chinese New Year... :) CNY was really different this time around.. i guess it comes with studying abroad... I don't know why x) i guess its cause i missed home, family and my malaysian food... and this time around i was actually looking forward to seeing all my relatives... haha i even waked up at 4am in the morning to order to reach kl in time for the reunion dinner and lugged my heavy luggage with my tiny hands to the airport... i guess it shows how much i miss my family ... unfortunately i keep on forgetting to take a full family picture with them... aaaaa i shall remember next year...

and in the middle of it all i got my ielst's results from the british council

And then i woke up at 4am again to get back to hk in order to pass up my assignment in time... see how much i love doing my work lol... so when i got back to hku after cny i had 2 assignments due and 2 midterms to handle... stressful week... and one thing i want to point out is about the thunderstorm cloud above my head when i got back to hku sorry friends... was very stressed and stuff... sorry if i did anything to offend you guys...

other than the midterms and the assignments i also decided to participate in the joint hall mass dance which is when all the halls under hku come together and we celebrate the joy of dancing... its basically to put in lame man terms a dance festival :) hehe... i've always said that i wanted to get back to dancing and honestly this is my first step towards getting use to dancing all over again... and its a different style from my usual broadway... this time i'm attempting something like street jazz and hk hip hop lol... hopefully i can pull it off before i actually pull my legs off... lol i haven't been dancing for ages so of course my muscles will ache... the guys have been really sweet offering to picky back me up the hku steps and carry my books when they saw me in pain... lol.. Thanks guys :)

So now i'm at the start of my reading week.... and to be honest my reading week is really a reading week aaaaaaa ~~~.... lol here's the rundown

Yes, Patience Is A Virtue...

I seriously have no idea whats wrong with you...

I understand that you are suffering from severe lack of sleeps just like the majority of HKU students... (its our trademark)

I understand that your severely stressed with the amount of work that you've been getting from not just our professors but from your other activities...

But it still does not give you a reason

To make rude remarks towards other people who are not as fortunate as you to be able to speak cantonese or mandarin in HK alright...

It also does not give you a justified reason to go around talking to everyone with a rude tone...

No doubt things aren't going as well for you as they normally do... you should have an EQ high enough to be able to handle it and other matters with grace...

And after all this even if you need a shoulder or and ear...

We are all here... waiting to great you with open arms ...

You just need to open to us...

*starts chanting PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE continously....

Random Thought : Should I start twittering?

No Air...

hello...

I've been coughing for a very very long time already... and yesterday the cough kind of manifested and my body decided to go on a coughing spree for 5 minutes non-stop in the middle of my management accounting class... it was so bad that i had to run out of class to escape the icy evil glares that i was getting...

So i went straight to a doctor as soon as my classes were over ...

While waiting for the doctor i ended up being fascinated by the fact that i was watching pokemon in cantonese x)... haha... so after a through examination .... the doctor asked me where are you from ? then i was like malaysia... then he concluded that i was allergic to the air in hk....

My first reaction of course was the you-must-be-kidding me face... and then he went on to explain that my airways are actually inflamed and that their quite swollen thats why i find it hard to breathe sometimes... something in the air must have triggered the allergic reaction... and i was like great another thing to add to my list of problems with my lungs...

So the doctor gave me medicine and told me to rest more... and gave me the i-pity-you-that-your-allergic-to-the-air face...

I feel so miserable right now... cause there's nothing i can do other than cough non-stop... its not like i can stop breathing or afford my own personal move able oxygen tank right? my only solace now is that i have my puppies kenny and kylie to accompany me in your place and that i'm going to be going back to kl for chinese new year this saturday :)... Clean air babeh!!!

Today when i woke up i decided not to be defeated... so i went to class like normal... took my medicine... and then suddenly out of no where the allergy decided to manifest itself... and i started coughing... my tutor looked at me with such concern and my classmates looked annoyed so, i decided to run to the toilet before i annoyed anyone any further... so here i am now actually skipping class when i'm actually able to attend... first time in my life skipping classes ok... i feel weird... so what do people normally do when they skip class?

To be honest i really miss you now and i want so bad to call you cause i know i'll feel better but you told me not too... so all i can do is wait till the next sunrise comes...

What Do I Want To Do ?

Here's some of the things I want to do in pictures :)

know you'll figure it out ;)

Dare You Take A Chance?

Dare you take a chance

And jump into the unknown

the blue abyss while being alone?

Dare you take a chance

And raise your voice

while looking at me straight in the eye

with your bloodshot eyes?

Dare you take a chance

And stand up

while rocking in front of the world

with your hair in a mess

and your lips all smudged in crimson?

Dare you take a chance

To let your heart skip a beat

and to let your feet not touch the ground?

Life's all about risk. No matter what it is

You just have to take that one chance , roll the dice, and play your cards right

If you don't take that one risk you'll never know if you've missed out on something important
