  • Hello, Hong Kong - I am home!

    Was so annoyed with the man who sat with me throughout the flight becuase he occupied my seat whilst I was away, and one of the flight attendants almost lost my maestro card! >.<"

    Counting down: 2 days to go until the opening of Euro 2008!! So sad that England didn't qualify this time...


    Anyway, will get busier in the next few weeks so hopefully I could find the time to sit down and write more!

  • Meanwhile I am sitting at the waiting area at one the world's busiest airport - London Heathrow awaiting for my next flight to Hong Kong. So I thought it will be nice to write an entry to kill my boredom... haha...

    Time flies, and my first semester at Stirling ended up with many challenges and opportunties. I found the courses enjoyable to study, and learnt well under the friendly atmosphere of the tutorials. Things have happened recently, like Manchester conquered the world of football, the natural diasters occured both in China and Indonesia, the round-the-world relays of the Beijing Olympic torch, political conflicts of the USA and the Britain, the housing problems in the US, the people in Tibet striving for an independence from China, etc.

    Just finished my last exam on 24th May, and I made every opportunity to enjoy as much as I can before returning to Hong Kong one week later. It did turned out to be a hectic week for me!

    The packing yesterday was a very tiring experience - had to made couple of trips back and forth as I lived on the highest floor in the hall with a spectacular view of one the Stirling's famous attractions - The Wallance Monument! Almost used up all my energy and until now my arms and legs are still aching...

    Left Stirling yesterday afternoon and spent one night in Glasgow. However, I lost the booking reference with Thomas Cook whereas I made a reservation earlier and ended up at the wrong hotel!! Had to meet up a facebook friend for dinner in due time I checked into the hotel immediately and walked up to the Boarder's on Buchanan Street after left my luggages. We had Italian at the Prince's Square and it was delicious. After dinner, I had to catch up with Gemma at the cinema. Unfortunately the film we wanted to watch at 9:10pm called 'In Bruge' was full so watched Iron Man instead. A good film, indeed!

    Anyway, for the next time I think I have to be extremely careful with the hotel booking! I must stop here as I am running out of time!

    Hong Kong, I'll see you in 15 hours!!

  • Wow... time flies... it is already two years since I haven't got my xanga updated!! It appeared that I was too lazy to write, hehehe...

    Now residing in the central Scotland - Stirling! The beauty of the Scottish environment and the friendliness of the people made me got settled immediately. It gave me the opportunity to have a fresh start...

    Begin to miss friends from Glasgow, as they are now moving toward the end of their courses. They will be graduating in two months' time. I'm proud of them but a bit jealous of them - becuase they are finishing earlier than me!!

    I trust Stirling will reveal my unlimited potentials and hopefully I will see the light shining on my path in few years time...

    Went to the city centre this morning because the appointment at Buchanan View was scheduled at 11:30am. The location of Buchanan View was not bad at all as I have expected - excellent transport links and is also extremely close to the universities (except Glasgow). The rooms the adminstration staff showed me were small/medium but the toilet faculity was ... out of my expectation ...

    Overall - not quite satisfied so probably thinking of rejecting the offer. I guess I possibly will be living at Wolfson Hall throughout my study!! No more thinkings about moving out ...
