So here i am in hk!

I feel like its been a super long journey just getting here..had to get to heathrow, then after arriving in hk, i had to take the airport express to hongkong and then..waited 1 freaking hour just to get a cab. So tired. It's typhoon season and it has been pouring non-stop all day. Me, no umbrella, can't speak cantonese==jialat.

Hk feels quite complicated. Its kinda different from what i remembered..maybe coz of the rain and my heavy luggages. -_-. Seriously need to pick up cantonese otherwise i can't get around as easily. Everyone just assumes i can speak canto just coz i look chinese :(. And if i speak mandarin, they look at me like i am da lu ren. :( :(. So then i switch to english, and i feel like a banana. :( Die die must learn canto! But other than that...i'm loving hk! Everything is so damn cheap compared to london. And the food variety is awesome..love it.

My place here is really nice too. Very cosy, just nice for one or two ppl. Today after dinner, i bought an umbrella from watsons and walked from wanchai to central and up all the steep stairs to midlevels back. It took me about 45mins strolling but it was somehow quite relaxing walking like that in the rain, getting my shoes soaked, and just taking in all the bright lights and loud clash of noises and smells, and also discovering little foodie hideaways.

Now its time to make myself at home here, make the best out of every opportunity i get! And do what i do best..work hard, play hard..and eat and shop and eat and shop and eat and shop!

Changed my blogskin coz i feel that the old one doesn't quite reflect me anymore.

At the end of the day, i dunno if i can rmb anything that i've read/analysed/mugged. Studying really sucks. I don't really have any right to whine seeing as we lse students only study intensively for 2 months a year..but still.. :( :( :(. I'm feeling miserable. I've nv stayed alone in my room so much before. And when i do, depression usually sinks in. It's just me, mike and the cat now coz of the whole bedbugs and the extermination adventure. which doesn't count for much. Still depressed and miserable. Plus i've overspent like crazy coz of exam stress..thank goodness for brotherly love, otherwise i dunno how i can survive the next few weeks here. Speaking of which, i'll only be in london for exactly 2 and a half more weeks and then hong kong beckons. Suddenly looking back, time seems to have flown. hmm. I just hope time will slow down when an important period comes and i can be happy again. Again, i need a change of environment. London wears me down sometimes and this is one of those times. When i go, i will miss bake-a-boo, the lovely bakery near my place which i brought beh to. i will miss sainsburys. i will miss the sound of the ice cream truck that passes under my window everyday. i will miss strolling in covent garden, exploring camden and portobello and other interesting bits of london. i will miss chatting in starbucks and shopping like mad and purposefully ignoring the pounds to sgd exchange rate. Most of all, i will miss my room. The place where i've spent the most time this year. Sometimes it drives me mad, and sometimes its my place of comfort and solace and warmth and yellow winnethepooh goodness. Ok, now that i might have to move house after the summer...i'm appreciating the comforts of my room..but still..depressed... -_-.
Been sleeping a lot more than usual lately to make the days shorter and so i can study less. Been doing a lot more reflection on my life and esp on this year. Don't feel like i'm turning 21 in a few months. Its gonna be a birthday shadowed by work i suppose. But it doesn't matter. I'll have a nice long holiday after. I feel kinda unfulfilled. Like i could have done a lot more with this year but instead wasted my time on frivolous pursuits. Sigh. And being a 2nd year will end in 2 weeks.
Right now, i'm just waiting to pack up my life into bags and boxes and leave again.

He smiled, she smiled, and they knew right away
that this was the day they'd waited for all their lives.
And for a moment the whole world
revolved around one boy and one girl

I'm in need of serious motivation and inspiration. I've been trying to start my revision..but i dunno if its because i'm getting older or what..but i've become less and less worried about my studies. Like as if the correlation between studies and job prospects are no longer there. hmm.

Anyhow, this week hasn't been so bad. Happier and more relaxed. I don't wanna spend too much time alone in my room..it really depresses me. Sometimes it feels like the walls are pressing down on me and i have to get out for a walk. Easter hols are for mugging..and that equates to hours sitting in my room since i can never concentrate in the library. Oh depression. Been emo-ing to utada hikaru's songs lately. Really love her voice and the way she changes her style with each album.

Sometimes i feel as if i'm standing on the edge. A tap on the shoulder might just send me right over. Will that be bliss or a plunge into the abyss? I'm afraid of uncertainty. I don't crave the excitement of not knowing what comes next anymore. Coz i've been let down so many times, i don't want to have expectations anymore. In my life, i'm just gonna do my very best in everything i do and accept whatever comes my way and in the end, after all the effort, i guess i can have it all. How sweet can it be if it's not achieved by hard work and sweat?
