The very last night before I leave

It is a cold and humid night before I leave for Hong Kong in less than 12 hours. It has been raining since evening, and my mood is just the same as the weather tonight. Raining makes me emotional especially on this special night.

I have sped up my packing this evening as I had been procrastinating since 1 month ago. Things get done faster when you have time constraint. I finally finished packing my luggage the night before I leave.


As I will be away this year during Chinese New Year we had our reunion dinner earlier tonight. We ate seafood, quite nice and I saw a lot of families were doing the same as us. The restaurant was pretty noisy with people lau sheng and yam sheng. We took a family photo using my new nikon P7000. This ended up my last night in JB. I am now off to bed (although I am quite sure I couldn't fall asleep) in order to be able to wake up early (4a.m) in the morning tomorrow!



My adventurous trip is about to start!

The second last night before I leave

I am exploring my new camera Nikon P7000 tonight! I have totally engrossed in it that I nearly forgot I will be leaving to Hong Kong soon. When I put my camera aside and do nothing, I started to feel 不舍得to leave home. sigh...Heard that there is one dead case in Hong Kong due to H1N1 today. I am still feel a bit kiasi although I have taken the vaccine. Please bless that my whole SEP is a safe one.

I will sleep early tonight because I know I wont be able to sleep well for tomorrow night. My mind will definitely be full of distractions due to nervousness.

The thrid last night before I leave

I have one last thing yet to be settled before I am ready for Hong Kong.
WHERE IS MY CAMERA??
I should go and shop tomorrow for a decent but cheap camera, haha.
Meeting some friends for the one last time I guess before I leave. But I am still very concerned why nobody has shown their intention to see me off on Sunday? Like why? Where are my friends, so sad. LOL.

nearer, but don't like to be parted from my home, my family

It is really near now, 5 days away. I feel excited for my new adventure. The cold weather, the delicious food and the shopping malls in Hong Kong!

But a bit sad as it is also the time when I have to say goodbye to my family and friends. I can't meet my family for 4 months. Although I had been staying in hall in NUS, but I had never ever failed to meet them for more than 2 weeks. I guess I will definitely miss them especially my parents. Skype may help a bit but it will never be better than face to face meeting. I hope during the period that I will be away, they can take care themselves and stay in good health.

是我太自私吗？

到了这个年龄，烦的不再是功课有没有考到A，或者是有没有买到自己想要的东西；我烦的已经开始是钱的问题了。妈妈的公积金挑起了一些事端。身为哥哥的我先进了大学，花了爸妈一大笔钱在我的学业上。一年半后当我毕业了同时也是我弟弟准备进大学时，我是不是应该尽我所能拿出钱来支助我的弟弟呢，然后尽量不用我妈妈的积蓄？妈妈跟我说他们供我读书，我毕业后自然而然就应该要供弟弟啊！可是毕业后的我难道不会有经济上的问题吗？我不敢保证。

刚毕业，初出社会打滚的我真的能吗？我是应该自私一点先利用我的薪水偿还我自己的教育贷款，还是把它用来帮助我弟弟呢？要让我自己未来有更好的规划我就必须先偿还贷款，可是这样是不是对我的弟弟太不公平了呢？

我是个这么自私的人吗？他毕竟是我弟弟。

This semester is different

Usually at this time for a normal semester, I should be heading back to my hall with all my barang-barang to start the new miserable semester in NUS.

But this time is different.

I have extra few more weeks of holiday before the start of my school. Not in NUS but HKUST! What is waiting for me ahead is not stress but fun and excitement.

I am so looking forward to it, I am excited!
