Mother's Day

Today is the Mother's Day, originally I have planned to have breakfast in the morning, but then my mother asked me not to go (probably she think that I am sleepy) and also asked me to pack things up today.

Finally I woke up at around 4pm and started to pack things up, then I discovered that I only has one bag to put my things. Obviously one bag is not enough and therefore I wen to Shatin at night to buy extra bags. Since today is the mother's day, all people are at home, and I have to go to Shatin alone.

After buying 4 plastic boxes and 1 bag, I went to McDonald's restaurant to have my breakfast on my own. From my memory it seems that I rarely eat on my own and I thought it would be a strange experience. For good or for bad the outcome is that I can concentrate on my thinking as I didn't need to converse with others: the upside is that I have a better utilization of the time, but the downside is that I started to depress because I could not be a mother myself...

I wanted to walk around and shop for a while after my dinner, but due to the bulky plastic boxes I cannot do so. As a result I went back to CUHK and continue to pack my things up.

IELTS and Graduation Dinner

I have spent most of the they on IELTS: one torturous morning for Listening + Reading + Writing tasks and a not-so-bad Speaking task in the afternoon. Unfortunately both topics for my Speaking task is very foreign for me: they are about fashion and radio, and I don't have too much to say about them. By the way, I will have to find a delegate to collect the results for me, and possibly to ask him/her to send my results to me via SMS. :P

I went to Logon with Alvin and his sister (Tiffany/Tissany) to buy his Mother's Day gift, which is a $200 cooking timer. I was also thinking about what should I buy at that time, I have two options: "shock absorber" for shoes or Teva/Croc's anti-slippery flip-flop, and I think I will decide and buy them tomorrow.

I have weared the White Musk Too perfume, Roxy tee-shirt, Teva flip flop and Soc Windbreaker to the occasion, but all others say I am very 'tui' @@, and I really wanted to buy a little coat and a shorts. Fortunately I have bought my graduation photo to the occasion so that I can ask others to sign on it as it is very difficult to gather so many y03 after the graduation dinner. The arrangement for the graduation dinner is just so-so: first there are too few instructions for us; second the food is definitely NOT okay (too few and not tasty enough); third the rundown is not smooth enough, there are way too much pauses in between the activities to destroy the high mood. On the other hand the activities is not too bad, I like the video very much (although it is a little bit biased for photo selection), the graduation cake, the souvenirs, and the photograph-removal "competition". At last but not least, I should thank for my gift from the lucky draw, which is an owl made with crystal with a graduation hat on it, thanks ar~~~~~~.

After the graduation dinner we have went to tsim sha tsui to have a chat. I have bought a Venti (new) Banana Mocha Frappuccino (special) by accident (I thought I was buying a Grande). 9-boys-girls formed a group and the rest of us formed another group. I belongs to the other group but we have not talked too much on "private" matters as there are other people around us. Probably because of this we left quite early (around 2:30), walked to Mong Kok and take the mini bus back to CUHK.

I have rediscovered a book called "How to read a book" during a discussion with JHKChan on the minibus, and surprisingly the Commercial Press also carries this title.

A song of a different kind

To you:

浪子心聲 作詞：許冠傑/黎彼得　作曲：許冠傑 難分真與假 人面多險詐 幾許有共享榮華 簷畔水滴不分差 無知井裡蛙 徒望添聲價 空得意目光如麻 誰料金屋變敗瓦 命裡有時終須有 命裡無時莫強求 雷聲風雨打 何用多驚怕 心公正白璧無瑕 行善積福最樂也 人比海裡沙 毋用多牽掛 君可見漫天落霞 名利息間似霧化

Thanks fishskin for helping me to find the song~

The moment before examination...

(plus the additional anxiety which Amanda gave me :P)

is all about anxiety and nervousness.

Mind your step

Raining in CUHK is very different from other areas in Hong Kong. In Mong Kok there will have many puddles filled with black waters, but these are rare here in CUHK. However, there are a spectacular array of dead animals on the road, such as snails which have its shell cracked, little frongs which have been flattened and earthworm which have its long body split into two (or more, sometimes beyond recognition). The worst situation occurs outside the United College and the whole road is being filled with earthworms, both live and dead, some of them are almost 30cm long. I felt very sorry and disgusted when I saw the remains, as a result I took every measure not to step on them and it took almost twice the time to walk through the "mind field".

Today I woke up at 3pm, and I epilate after I bath afterwards. UNFORTUNATELY my roommate came in WHILE I am epilating my ARMPIT!!!! It was a really embrassing situation. Luckily it seems that he is very open for this kind of things...

After this unfortunate event I went to Coffee Corner to have tea with Kuenkuen and Pineapple, we have drafted a list of necessities for our trip. It was a really long one and it would take quite a bit of time for me to gather them.

I have dedicated today for me to work on the project on constraint processing, a good progress had been made but it is still too slow to finish the project by Friday. I have to work harder!!!

Finally we have found some evidence that Terry had been to France, and more importantly he has a sense of humor (read: a normal human being)!! Congratulation to him!

Final Examination in the Sex and the City!?

Just back from a "sex and the city" session with Kuenkuen, Pineapple and JHKChan!! It was a very happy night lei~~ We have talked all sorts of things but the majority of them is targetting towards JHKChan~~ lol

BTW I still don't know what is "Sex and the City" about~~ :P

I wanted to buy umbrella today and I shopped in CitySuper, but to my disappointment I am unable to find one which appeals me >< I plan to go to Festival Walk Logon or Tsim Sha Tsui CitySuper to hunt for my umbrella.

I wanted to buy Flying Fox Shower Gel and the Tea Tree Oil Mattifying Moisture Gel ar~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Today I have finished the method section of the Social Psychology course project report; continued my preparation for the Social Psychology final examination; and no progress in the Constraint Processing course project yet!

Hopefully Pineapple's intestines will get well soon so that we can eat "fried" foods together~ yummy~

Hate Myself Day

Today my indecisive personality had caused angerness and inconvenience to others, I am really sorry about that. In fact I am aware of this and want to fix this but it is really difficult a difficult problem to "fix", sometimes it works, sometimes it doens't. Hopefully it will not happen again in the future.

Appearantly this matter had hit my nerve and I am depressed (gender issue again).
