幾件事

有不很開心的，有讓人滿足的，也有……感動的。

今天的LANG堂里，老師要我們每組介紹一個我們認為persuasive的廣告。我的同學介紹了這個廣告……

因為我很想媽媽，很想我家人。所以感動了，課堂里不禁流了幾滴眼淚……但沒有什麽的。只是太想念而已。
好了，不說這個，說下一回事吧……要不然讀著我的部落格要你流眼淚也不太好……呵呵。

上完第一堂課，去了學校二十周年慶（下個星期五有個大歡慶會哦！詳情我遲些再報上來）的briefing session，然後再去上Psychology。

吃了LG1的油雞肉燥飯當午餐。

The RM3 smaller portion chicken rice has so much more chicken than this!

這應該是我開學以來第四次在學校餐廳用餐。果然，是讓我很失望的。那片油雞，長長一塊切成好幾片，偏偏幾乎都是骨頭，吃什麽呀=.=而我可以點了有肉燥的這一份是因為我真的很喜歡吃豆干，被你charge extra $2 （normal的燒味飯是$20，燒味飯+肉燥是$22）不是讓你大大減少燒味肉的分量耶……太不可思議了。This explains why I don’t like eating on campus…

吃完了以後，就是準備Student Information System的training的時候了。有點緊張，也有點期待。結果七位學生里有三位是我認識的，呵呵，尷尬，我這個不夠班的"instructor"，可能會讓人覺得很奇怪吧……

事情還算噢崎，畢竟這是第一次，我還有些問題是不會解答的，但下一次應該會好一些的，我相信。

介紹一下吧，Student Information System是大學因為3-3-4新的教育制度將推出的新系統，最主要的改變就是學生的course registration。新的system不叫course registration咯，叫class enrollment。還有很多其他改變，陸陸續續大家都會知道的了。我現在和另外一位ITSC的staff是Ambassador Seed。負責幫忙推動整個change management，train 十八位Ambassador Leads，然後再train全校差不多500位Ambassadors…聽起來有點嚇人吧……呵呵。不過這經驗，真的挺不錯的。

開了一個簡短的會議，就去UST Great Minds的活動。LTA的capacity大概是400人吧……去的好像差不多有450-500人耶，這個實在太厲害了！

哦，我不是說還有感動的事嗎……這裡有好幾個professor的分享，挺感動的。

其中一個算是我印象比較深刻的，就是分享"A journey towards happiness"的Prof Chow。他說，人生就之活一次，不能再重來。如果我們只想著之前所做錯的事而不向前看，那我們永遠都不會快樂。Happiness is short，there is no such thing as eternal happiness。然後他的ppt里最後出現了"幸せ"這日本詞兒……我聽了覺得挺有共鳴的。

嗯。快樂，幸福，不都就是這麼一回事嗎……

遲些他們將活動的影像post出來以後，我再介紹你們去看吧……:)

好吧……很累的一天。我要去我的睡夢中

找我的幸福。

沒想到就這樣。三月份過去了。幼兒園的時候學的，三之後是四，嗯，四月份來了。你，是不是一直都在準備邁入四月份呢……？

Tibet trip sponsor :)

It's a good piece of news. I GOT the Dean's Service Awards.
Yay, and now I don't have to worry about how could I sponsor myself for my graduation trip to Tibet...

YIPPPPPPPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE~

hmm...well actually I received the news from Roy To Community Service Award before the other one. Mr Raymond Tang told me that there is a better nominee so I didn't get it. I did expect this cause they're only giving out ONE award, and I didn't feel like I've performed well enough in the interview. And the Director of SAO actually interviewed me for Dean's Service Awards so probably she knew that I'm already getting this one so might as well give Roy To's to another student. Haha....it's just my assumption :)

Anyway, I got the one with the higher value tho...HAHA. Good, at least I'm getting a little something back for all my contributions these 3 years...Dad and mum will be so happie^.^

The cohort is goinna organize the Turkey Run soon, (inspired by CENTRAL Rat Race) in conjunction with HKUST's Service Learning Day, and to raise funds for the victims of Japan earthquake and Tsunami. It will be an interesting one I believe, so do come over and support!!

After meeting for the cohort thing, I helped in the HKUST Business School Branding Activity. I didn't really know how they chose me tho, probably because I was way too active all the while...haha. But it was interesting, interesting to give opinion about the Business School and what we think the school could do to brand themselves in the public. It's good to hear about what other students think about UST and the school too....so I'm pretty happy to be part of this, although I can't contribute much regarding the local student's and community's impression regarding UST, and the process of choosing a uni during high school.

Goinna share one really nice song today. I love Khalil too ♥♥♥

Psychology, and a tiring day...

While studying Management Accounting at 5am. Hungry, but this Ice Cream Matcha OREO made in Beijing is so not nice >.<

I've always liked Psychology. I even thought of taking Psychology after finishing Form 5.
But nah...the prospect is just too uncertain and so...here I am, doing Accounting=.=
Anyways, back to the topic where I really like Psychology. There is a limited amount of Psychology courses offered in HKUST, and it always clashes with my core courses' timetable. And finally, I had the opportunity to enroll into 2 intermediate Psychology courses (Psychology of Adolescence and Adulthood & Health Psychology), and sit in for 1 introductory Psychology course this semester! :)

And so, this is some concept taught by the introductory Psychology course instructor today. Intelligence. And there are some exceptions to the traditional intelligence concept, called savant. He showed us this video in class too. Which I thought was pretty interesting.....

Only one official class, but still... I have a lot of things scheduled for today. After sitting in for the Psychology class, I had the work meeting for an hour. Owh gosh....time flies and I will be teaching the first batch of Ambassador Leads this Thursday. Argh...and I still have a lot of things to prepare for it. And then I went to earn 30 bucks from a Marketing Research. And then another meeting for the SLAM project. Thanks to the staff for giving me a pretty good idea to proceed with our project...well, this actually means more stuff to do soon, but hopefully... I could achieve something good by the end of it.
And then only it's roti bak kua lunch and revision for my midterm tonight.

Revisions revisions revisions. And I need some songs to keep myself awake. And so I randomly heard this...

十分·愛 - 方力申、鄧麗欣
分手一分鐘後便有後悔聲音 能上我最深的人 偏得我心

I seldom listen to Cantonese songs actually, but I do know that there are lots of them which are pretty nice :)

It was a tiring exam, 5 questions 2.5 hours, non-stop writing, and can't really finish it. Wanna end this day sooner....and get some good sleep!

And I have a sudden crave to shop for some stuff too.....whatever it is...heh.

The Certificate is Here!

Received a parcel notification when I came back to my hall this evening. I once thought, "woah, so good, someone sent me something and this will make my day!" Well I really love receiving parcels and letters (not those from banks or organizations but from friends la...). A little bit disappointed when I saw the envolope, it is from South China Morning Post. Must be the receipt that I've previously requested.
And tadaa...................

Remember the Operation Santa Claus initiative I mentioned before? And I won the Best Presenter Award thingy...and they sent the certificate with my name on it to me (pasted on a super hard cardboard somemore..haha, I can frame this up~Dad and mum will be happie)! Along with the cert, they also gave me a thank you letter :) This reminded me of the small yet meaningful deeds that I've done before...and yeah, it did make me feel better....

****
Apart from that, I wana mention some stuff about the Mayday concert tix presale. OMG, it's sold out in like maybe 5 minutes max? Not that I tried buying during presale cz I really don't trust presale tix seats. Just that I'm kinda worried if the same thing will happen during normal tix sale tho...does that mean that I havta wake up at like 6am and queue up for the tix?

OMG I MUST WATCH 陳信宏(Ah Xin) IN HK THIS YEAR! I CAN'T MISS IT!

Some "reliable source" claimed that there might be additional shows on 22nd and 23rd. I seriously hope that it will HAPPEN. I just hate these presales where they allow people to buy up to 20 tix per transaction. Stupid kah? People will just buy it and resell it at a higher price to make profits (that's just what happened with Jay Chou's concert last year...9 shows and still, everything was sold out in split seconds)...stupid BEA Credit Card. Haha.

ANYWAY, yes I must see HIM see THEM.

J A song that I love a lot....to share~

夜訪吸血鬼  詞/阿信 曲/冠佑 

滿懷憂傷卻流不出淚 極度的疲憊卻不能入睡

只能夠日日夜夜 然後又日日夜夜 無盡的日日夜夜 永遠的深陷在人間

Sunday for rest

I friend texted me from Malaysia saying that I should get more sleep. It's so true. I haven't been sleeping well for the whole d**n week and today should be the day where I take just a little bit more rest.
:)
And so I did it. (I think)

Happy to be out playing badminton today with Len Foong and Alex (he said he never really played badminton before, OMG are you Malaysian Chinese...haha)! Have been waiting for this opportunity since I got the RMB30 badminton racquet last December, for TWO somemore...Haha. But well I think you can expect the quality of the racquet is...ahem...memang cheap...yeah, I'll get myself a new better one if I'm serious about this, if I have time, and when I have the money!! (yeah, if this day comes...)

Also had a meeting with my Malaysian juniors for a marketing proposal competition held by an insurance company. Well, we did this because of the ipad!! Ipad please....Haha.

And so another weekend is over. I'm starting to worry a lil as the semester seems to be ending soon. Ahh...scary. There're still so many things to do, and yet so little time available. So I foresee more little-hours-sleep-days in the upcoming few weeks? Ahh...

Tomorrow will be the pre-sale day for Mayday concert tickets!! It's making me feel excited but the thing is I don't really wana buy pre-sale tickets as they are HKD25 more expensive than normal tickets for no reason, and you will not be guaranteed a good seat :(
Ahh...but at the same time, I'm worried that the tickets will be sold out and I won't even be able to attend their concert!
...........我會看到你的對吧，阿信？^^

想擁抱的曾經

And now...back to study, and work.

在鶴藪當農夫的一天

其實很累，但這經驗挺不錯的。

之前去了那個“黑暗里的大自然”的活動之後，覺得挺有感觸，所以這次報了這項活動，想體驗一下，香港的農民的生活。

一整天，我們開始從斬草除根，到鬆土，到吃大家一起分享的有機午餐，到悠閒休息時間，到下午的做畦、播種、疏苗、施肥、淋水，還幫忙開通渠道，有時很費力，但挺有趣的。最後，大家還到一個有機農場去收割我們的晚餐，拔蘿蔔及挖番薯實在太好玩了……呵呵。還有，看到好幾隻很可愛的兔子。然後，大家生火準備晚餐，煮了粥、雜菜湯、還有炒了好幾碟菜。哦，我也幫忙準備了一碟沙拉哦！J興奮……呵呵。



The rabbit photo....The camera focused on the wrong thing! Haha...

其實偶爾有這種感覺真的很好，我會回憶以前女童軍出camp的日子。大家很賣命地過原始的生活，不忘了什麽是簡單的快樂……

嗯，大家欣賞照片吧^^

Lunch time and homemade sushi!!

Fresh vege

Dinner for 20 people...

Organic salad

This made me think of Malaysian Sambal Eng Chai (Is that kangkung? hehe...)~

22 hours

I am actually awake for 22 hours today. Haven't done this for quite a long time. Guess it's because I'm really growing old.
Anyway, this time it's because of the SOSC200P (Health Psychology) midterm. Couldn't concentrate 100% studying anyway, although I did manage to finish all the lecture notes (but definitely not the text book as it's way too long winded and it's over 100 pages long...) by morning.
And took some shots of the early sky.
I don't think I really have that many other chances to do this in the future (I mean I hope I won't cause that'll mean I'm not sleeping for the night again..haha)~ And I'm graduating soon anyway...so, I wanna seize this moment :)

Dawn. In just 30 minutes. Taken at HKUST, Hall 6, Small Wing Common Room :)

It was a tiring day actually. (of course, I was awake for 22 hours!=.=)
There are ups and...downs. Tell you when I have enough sleep k?
Looking forward to the farming trip tomorrow.
Chaoz...

給我一個理由忘記

她到底幾時出現在樂壇裡的呀。
我又到底怎麼開始留意她的呢？
神奇。

作詞：鄔裕康  作曲：游政豪 
雨都停了 這片天灰什麼呢 
我還記得 你說我們要快樂 
深夜裡的腳步聲 總是刺耳 
害怕寂寞 就讓狂歡的城市陪我關燈 
只是哪怕周圍再多人 感覺還是一個人 
每當我笑了 心卻狠狠的哭著 

給我一個理由忘記 那麼愛我的你 
給我一個理由放棄 當時做的決定 
有些愛 越想抽離卻越更清晰 
那最痛的距離 是你不在身邊 卻在我的心裡 

當我走在去過的每個地方 總會聽到你那最自由的笑 
當我回到一個人住的地方 最怕看到冬天你最愛穿的那件外套 
只是哪怕周圍再多人 感覺還是一個人 
每當我笑了 心卻狠狠的哭著 

給我一個理由忘記 那麼愛我的你 
給我一個理由放棄 當時做的決定 
有些愛 越想抽離卻越更清晰 
那最痛的距離 是你不在身邊 卻在我的心裡 
我找不到理由忘記 大雨裡的別離 
我找不到理由放棄 我等你的決心 
有些愛 越想抽離卻越更清晰 
那最痛的距離 是你不在身邊 卻在我的心裡

因為有幾句還挺有共鳴的，所以上來分享了:)

With music and with snoopy

Have been busy trying to finalize my presentation slides for the whole day.
It's another 9am-6pm typical Wednesday. And well I actually woke up at 8.48am this morning to attend my 9am class. Haha....Lunch for today? Chinese Sausage Bun, and some Taiwanese Crackers. It was pretty good.

While I was arranging the slides, I tried searching for some images on Google. And I found this cute thing when I googled "Questions and Answers":

So cute right?^^ Haha...awesomeness.


And I also found out that FIR has just released their latest song today, and new album is to be released on 15th April.

《F.I.R.飛兒樂團》全新專輯『亞特蘭提斯』同名首波主打

It has been a long time...and finally something to look forward to J
I'll post the videos up when they have a clearer version.

Last but not least, time to talk about something that I LOVE.
Mayday is COMING TO HONG KONG for a concert IN MAY!!! Can't wait can't wait can't wait........
五月天[就是]演唱會2011 Just Rock it!!! 香港限定
I like how they put this 香港限定thing there...HAHA.

Okay, back to script writing for my LANG201 presentation tomorrow. I am taking way too much time to prepare for this man...
And I can do it!

And she did it again....and others.

Be tolerant.
Mum always tells me that.
BUT.....how can I do that when she wakes me up for the the first time, but second and third and....from whatever dreams I am having which its story is not yet complete... 
...endless. toot.

Some people advised me that I should just go straight to her face and tell her that I can't stand it. I tried...really. Well not directly maybe. But how could you actually do that effectively, without making the person feel that you're so fussy and stuff?
Something to learn I guess.
To give you a better understanding about what I am talking about, she speaks loudly when her phone rings early in the morning (even louder than my alarm), she switches on all lights when she comes back to the room late (she stopped doing this for awhile, an improvement I guess, thanks to the person who told her not to do so...), she uses the hair dryer (super loud, I dunno how many dbs =.=) while I was sleeping, owh and she doesn't shut the room door if she were to sleep after me (yay, let's welcome intruders)....and the list goes on.
Isn't this common sense? Seriously com'on. This is university man...and when you're staying with others shouldn't you know that you should respect each other.
Hmph. It's okay. 2 more months. Only 2 more months I told myself.

*****
Wanna share something really interesting here. I think this was initiated by a friend. I am soooooo impressed.

This is something I really wana learn. To really think OUT of the box and initiate something that no one has ever done it before...
And to give you another great example, Su Ann initiated this, the Pray for Japan project.

And yeah, support support support!^^
May more interesting and good stuff happen before I leave uni!
