The cliche "V" for photo takin.. 

Er... Orang.. I luv this pic of urs.. haha.. anyway.. dun kill me when u see me.. n hey.. look on the bright side.. I didnt post the photo in which we pretend to duel w "mini lightsabers" hahaa~ 

Meeting with the chimp and the orang.. at our old hangout during secondary school daez... Picture taken by a sercurity guard.. GUyz.. did u know the security guard said, "Sweeet..." when he took the picture? Haa.. bet not.. mb I was imagining he said it.. (^@^) 

Hey people..

First thing first... my TAGBOX is down. So don't bother to click it umpteen times and curse it. haa.. Dropped me comments for now instead?

Juz finished typing an email on hostel application. Having a terrible headache now...

Gosh... I was juz told that my course send people to US in the second year and is paid by the school. Wow.. is that sth good or bad? So every year.. they take in 20 students for their course... and a few will go to the US for two terms.

Haiz. I can really feel the stress building up. I will be under high surveillance for the period of time I am there. 20 students... and a few will move on to abroad in the second year. It will be entirely different from NUS I guess.

Hope I can live through this transition...

Anyway... I was juz informed of my new HK cell phone number. It will cost HK$103/mth with 1600 min plus 1100 extra min... with free calls from midnight to 6am...

La... n I signed up for idd0088 for juz HK$38.. allowed unlimited idd calls charged at local rate!

Check out the advertisment here:

Anyway.. is in cantonese...
The first guy said, "I am slapped by someone."
The second guy said, "Give your right cheek to him as well..."

N the slapping begin... since "da" doesn't only mean "SLAPPING".. it also means "CALLING" right? The idea of UNLIMITED SLAPPING used metaphorically as UNLIMITED CALLING

haa..

Anyway... the whole advertisement is mimicking Da Vinci's portrait of the Last Supper..

Kinda funny.. :p

People... Happy National Day

Seeya guyz in no time.

Elliot Hall... The main building for my course? JMSC.. Journalism and Media Study Centre 

Main building of HKU 

Blog has been in stagnation for quite a while.

Anyway.. guyz... is decided..

I am going to the University of Hong Kong for a Bachelor of Journalism degree.

It's supposedly a three years course.. but due to my completion of 1 year in NUS.. it is most probably reduced by a sem...

so considering 4 months make up a semester... I will be away for around 20 months..

Oh.. n plus three weeks of internship... thaz around two years.

Anyway... might be back in SG every two months.. during break and holidays.

Guess that's the advantage of having a father who work in the travel industry? You will know when cheap fares is available. :)

I've always thought is gonna be easy for me to make such a decision. Still... it didn't come easy.
I think I will miss you guyz alot. Of coz.. gonna miss some of you more than others. :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My holidaez will be unlikely to coincide with those in SG except for those festivals like Christmas and so on.

Do come and visit me during YOUR holidaez... and I'll come back during MY holidaez.. that basically double the meeting time?!

Right.. I know I m juz dreaming.. who would wanna go HK every holidae... HAIZ... but at a good bargain price of 20 bucks.. do consider?

Ha..

~~~~~~~~~~~~

And finally...

Gonna say that I will most probably treat this experience as an adventure?

Yes... this has always seems to be something I yearned for. Or is it? Sometimes I do wonder. I am not as certain as most of you think I am.

In fact, I have even thought of the possibility of not going... but I know I will regret.

Up till this point of my life.. I try to make decisions based on the amount of fulfillment and happiness I can get from it.....

BUT... goin to HKU does not guaranteed that I will be happy. (not that I am unhappy in SG) Maybe I juz need a venture before I feel contented with anything. Is like betting on sth without realizing the outcome....

Erm.. and goin to HK doesn't mean that I am giving up on anything in SG. I still treasure the friendship I have earned here. So guyz.. pls dun give up on me too.. :)

Right... talkin too much..

I'll try to blog more often now that I am goin to HK.
