Olympics is really nice to watchh :)
Ahhh stepping down lo... watch this space... 3 sept i will be no longer vp... and i will be glad. It's not like i dun like it, but i prefer being in adm, where i can be Joan. Just joan. In hall, I have a "VP" tag, and i feel like i can't make real friends here because of tt. sobs. I kinda gave up trying... all the real friends i have are truly in adm, where they understand me and noe me for who i am. In hall, I am not Joan. haven't been truly happy...

I cheng and cheng, not sleeping enough, until too late, which was the friday after FOC, resulting in my "inflammation of the nose".. so on nat'l day i was spending the time lying down recuperating. Thankfully i'm better now, but i'm still phlegmy. ew.

Hong Kong was nice. It was supposed to be a study trip, but in the end it didn't feel like one, as most of us went with the mentality of it being our holiday. for pple like me, it was my only holiday this miserable 3 months. But the main aim was to learn from HKU and HKUST about their halls and hall allocation schemes.
I won't be talking about the boring technical things about the hall stuff, but i'll just go into the impression I got from both Unis
Anyway, the first day we went, we were supposed to reach the airport at about 8 plus. Me being a stupid person, decided to watch the Fedex-Nadal Final the day before. That lasted until about 5am, but good girl Joan decided to call it a night when Nadal couldn't convert the 4th set. Well needless to say i was a zombie there. Thinking i'll sleep on the plane, i didn't sleep until that night. Cathay had some good movies.. -____-
Anyway the frist thing tt struck me about HK was the really scary driving! The buses didn't noe what's a speed limit and anyway the speed limit on the narrow single lane was 100kph. |||-____-
And everyone was going on about how the taxis and the police really looked like they were in the hK dramas, HK noobie me just took many ffotos and tried to learn abit of canto...
Then the next thing that struck me was how steep some of the roads were =__= it was really like sitting on a roller coaster!!! terribly frightening!
UGh. Well nvm. we made it safely to HKU's Simon KY Lee Hall. It was this one block and about 8 storeys high i think. the girls and guys on separate levels lor. basically we stayed in double rooms. it was very nice and cosy, a bit like Sheares hall, only a bit more spacious with a tv lounge on every floor.
So that day nothing much really happened, we just went to victoria peak although we nearly got lost along the way. Everyone needed some time to get orientated to the place.. haha
The next day (tuesday), We had a tour around HKU officially and then started the presentation and the discussion with HKU. At night, i joined the Hall 12 bunch (Michael, Victor, Weida and Meihua) to go shopping with them. I stuck to Meihua, who was my roomie for the trip. the two of us and another of their HK girl friend (Angel) went shopping in Wanchai. Bought loads of earrings then. heh.
And on Wednesday we went to HKUST. MY god this was a real dam nice uni. Although it's reallly uluated in Kowloon, it's got such a beautiful campus! it overlooks the sea and the buildings have nice architecture.. They even have a visitor's centre where they sell souvenirs! how cool is that! But their hostels were a lot more hostile than in HKU... but other wise it's not bad. hehe.
It was here that we made more friends. the girls are friendlier and were more willing to talk to us. in general we really got true information about what they felt about the halls. hehehe. Oh yea there is a leng zai amongst them also... all the girls were clambering to take fotos with him, so he commented he felt like a movie star for a day. lol. It was then i said sth embarrassing.. i said that it was coz he's a shuaige.. At that Clarissa, who was waiting for her turn to take foto with him snickered at me. AUUUGH. -___- Nvm, after the whole day before we left he complimented me, saying that i looked like a nice person. (?!?!) ok it sounded better in chinese (你看起来好像是个好人） haha. after that the hall 12 pple, esp weida, kept using his phrase to tease me.
Oh well, after that was more shopping again lor. This time we (Hall 12 as well Vincent and samatha of hall 16) went to mongkok, stopping by at the Esprit shop. Totally went wild. Nv seen such cheap esprit stuff before.. $12 for a shirt? Mongkok had great stuff in one of those small little shops, a bit like Far east. It felt like 4 storeys of Bugis street. amazing. And they had real trendy stuff. not all were cheap tho. But if we could find a ddeal or two it was good :)
Thursday we went to Ocean Park. We were really dreading the weather because for the whole trip we had barely seen the sun... and it was mostly drippy. And what did you noe, the weather didn't stop for Ocean park either. When we went for our yam teh breakfast we were praying the rain would stop. Guess what, it didnn't. And it got worse. it was an Amber warning that day. =__=|||
So we just practically walked arnd Ocean park with our umbrella in the morning... and we nearly froze to death in the Panda arena coz it was airconned, and many of us were in shorts... *brrr*
then when there was a bit of sun (for the first time) in the aftnn, we rushed to sit the rollercoasters and thrill rides... We had so much fun! There was the roller coaster, the viking (small one tho) and the vertical free fall drop, and some kiddy spinning ride... and then there was a nother roller coaster that didn't go upside down...
Acherli the kiddy spinning ride was the worst... when we got on, it started to rain.. and they didn't stop the ride! so we were spinning arnd in these plane like things, getting drenched. After we got out, i told them they really needed to install windscreen wipers, given HK's weather records. =__=
The free fall was dam fun! I was sitting with Basil.. I managed to make him frightened! Kinda funny since he's such a big sporty guy.. like some canoeist i think. I was screaming "omg" on my way up.. and when the drop happened, my heart stopped and i couldn't scream. HAHA. reminds me of the time i sat with my brother! haha I think i was like him this time round. HAHA.
The rides were fun, and it was great coz all the girls were so sporoting oso..
And the best part was that there was a bunch of nus pple in front of us most of the time. haha.
Ok then at night nothing much la. there was a steamboat dinner, and then most parted ways and went back to rest
the next day (Friday) was free and easy, needless to say, everyone went shopping. Shufang and TK went to find Ken. I dun regret not joining them. I noe it's not very nice but i'm not going to make myself miserable by joining them and not feeling comfortable. in the end they dun feel happy, i oso dun feel happy.
Friday was really the day of shopping. sam and i went to the shopping mall with all the factory outlets! Nike Addidas Esprit u name it! OMG aDDIDAS. there was a liverpool jersey the 07-08 one, it was selling at S$30-40! DIRT CHEAP! but no size. haha. only XL. HAHAHAHA too bad. Aside from that, i bought more stuff from Esprit and 2 tennis skirts from NIKE! i felt happy.
Then we went back to mongkok in hopes for a manicure but the boutiques were all full... so we went to 女人街 to walk walk... and there wasn't much.. sam is such a great girl to hang arnd.. she's a real shopaholic but she's v patient with me... she's the sporty hot girl kind.. but she's so nice and down to earth. very diferent from most sporty and haughty girls i noe.. mebbe coz we are both quite ang mor so we cliqued well given most of the group were v cheena.
And the irony of everything was that Friday we had the nicest weather. no sun but no rain.
sobs.
and i was glad for sunshine and warmth back here in SUNNY SINGAPORE
