Day 1/2

I pulled off my eye mask (like blair waldorf would), this morning of day 2 in HK -U to a bright sunny morning that would have been repulsive at 6.18am back home. My new shockproof (in case it take battering for the dangerous job of waking me up) alarm clock reads 6.45am, after about 15 mins of struggling to get back in bed, so I gave up and washed up.

Starting my first morning routine of Vit C drink, with Vit B and Whatever Gd Bacteria you need for weak tummies like mine, Ginseng and in case I needed a hot pick me up: Ginseng Oolong Tea.

Today is separated from yesterday, from a mere 3.5 hours of sleep. Yet not even the sheer lack of rest can stop me from sinking into the quiet bliss of my "single" room left to me by my unarrived roomie.

You can't rain on my parade.

There's a certain glitz and glam appeal of 流浪ing, or 遠渡重洋... But even if I only did cross a section of the South China Seas, which doesn't quite fit the bill of 遠渡 OR重洋, I never did once regret giving up Newcastle (which equates to Holiday land to me) for HK (which equates to Shoe-boxes of Capitalism).

Yes, not once.
Not even when for the 7th time, Daddy and Mummy interrupted my 情緒 on the plane.
Or when they called for the 4 time in 3 hours to check in on me.
Or when I got lost the 3rd time in 2 hours.
Or when I walked 15 mins in the opposite direction of the hall from school (which should have been a 5 mins walk)
Or when I went back to the Arts Faculty Office and realized that SAME GUY (the one who 'escorted' me out of the office just 4 mths ago) is still as unfriendly and rude.
Or when I entered my room which was a qualifying sauna and didn't have aircon till after dinner.
Or when I realized the wardrobe is the 1/4 the size of mine back home. and room reminds me of a shoebox.
Or when I met my temp neighbors, who knocked on my doors to ask for a favor - take pictures of them. Then never reciprocated my efforts of polite conversations.
Or when they barred my dad from visiting the hall - because hall regulations state: NO MALE VISITORS ON WEEKDAYS.
Or when I had so much trouble understanding the Auntie downstairs who bar people from entering the building
Or even when I was soo stressed I could scream because the internet refuses to work and you have course selection pending.
Or when I missed Tong so much, now. Even as I type this entry.

Because, there's just so much more that makes me glow with happiness.
1) Because, I'm going to find myself now. (Like in the Hollywood Movies - Take that for glitz) The choices I made till now tell me who I was, but for some reason. This new chance is like a new blog entry. So "I" have yet to be defined.

2) Because, I wanted and worked hard for this. And that should be self-explanatory. I should have realized this earlier, hopefully its not too late to now. But the only other thing that gives me such joy is Tong, which I wanted and worked hard to make things work too. (Even if I do know, he prefers his mummy to me anyday or time)

3) Because, it's so near and Daddy & Mummy know the language - so they can be here with me. And there will always be moments that home and family comforts you. Like when you have a great seafood dinner, or when your mum buys you, the hairdryer, alarm clock, dinnerware, and stuff cause she's worried, saves you your allowance. And even when they come to your room and scolds you for 嫌棄ing the room and then invites you to stay with her in the HYATT REGENCY. (I refused btw)

4) Because, I have for the past 1 day and (I intend to today and from now forth) be myself and cheer at everything you want to cheer at and simply be very yourself. As emo as I want to, as expressive, or even in the very BIMBO times.

5) Because, the Hall O camp I heard from my first HK friend (only one in hall now) confiscates your handphone and prohibits internet. So I cannot be more glad to be a non-canto speaker and can skip it:)

6) Because, I had help (SMILES) yesterday in getting around campus.

6) Because, I can go shopping today. at Tsim Tsai Tsui


You get the point. Till later then. It's only the beginning of Day 2.
