太累了，打英文快一点。

Of all things one should not do when away from home, I’ll say its self-doubt. I keep wondering why the hell did I choose this country in the first place. Not only I think to myself, but also to answer when the local student ask. But then again, I’m already here, the only way out is suck it up and learn. Its my first week in Hong Kong. Still blur about how the little things in their daily lives function. But for now, it’s probably not thc changes in environment that’s bothering me.I don’t know what is it. The locals are nice and I’ve been seeing faces which reminds me of home. My orientation camp roomie, is also Jacqueline. Looks 80% like Nichelle. Saw a Wei Jian look alike on the train and loads of random Malaysians I know. The brain still thinks that we’re in Boleh Land,lol. Ironically, the local thinks I’m one of them if I kept quiet about my nationality.(lol, I’ll assume that my canto speaking sounds local enough XD) The fact that I’m here in an unfamiliar land hasn’t sunk in yet, hopefully this difficult transition period goes by smoothly.

Alright,enough with the emo thoughts. Just a not-so-brief update for my family to see.

Pa & Mi,
I’m okay, just that the procedure went a little haywire, there are lots of New Asia seniors helping me and even let me sleep in their room when I have no where else to go before the move in date. So right now the biggest concern which is accommodation is taken care of, Isaac is helping me,don’t worry. There are still lots of bits and pieces to pick up here, I can manage them. The biggest advantage I have is being able to speak a few languages. So yea, see ang mo speak English, see Hong Kee speak canto, see china men speak Mandarin. Asking around makes life easier rather than looking at the stupid instruction manual. I’ve been taking my vitamins and eating regularly, no fast food, lots of water, had char siew fan for lunch yesterday and chicken porridge. Its always sunny here, but not as hot as Malaysia, very breezy being on top of the mountain. Ms. Annie from admission department invited me to dinner on today, so I’ll be speaking to her hopefully to clarify as many things as possible.

When I went to submit my course major selection form, they told me Chinese new writing class is full and I’ll have to go into the English class, the worst part is that I can’t switch back to join the Chinese class next semester, meaning my 3 year degree will be in English. I’m not gonna take “no” for an answer if the teaching content is totally different. I’ve asked a journalism senior, she said I have more than enough reasons to ask the professor to open another place for me,chances are high. I’ll go talk to Mr. Chow and see what comes up. By hook or by crook, I’ll make sure I get myself in.

Oh by the way,I was teaching my group how to swear in Malay during lunch, haha,typical. It took them a while to bring themselves to make such a request,like “um…erm…do you Malaysian have special terms for swearing? You know how to swear in Malay?”. So yea, the whole table was trying to pronounce words like PKM and CB loudly in a restaurant and I pray hard that there’s no Malaysian or Singaporean present.

I’m missing the feeling of being so sure of how things works in Malaysia. It is scary to be left all alone with zero contact with the people I know. Not that the people aren’t nice, they answer all my questions, even the lame ones. Its a pain in the ass reading their style of writing. They’re Chinese words but written in how you speak Cantonese e.g. Keng Gai = 倾计= chat

I think that’s all for now, don’t want to blind my readers with bad English. I’ve taken some pictures during the HK tour, let me get all the important things done and I’ll update. I love you!~
