Day 10 @ HK

Thursday (05/07/07)

I realised if I don't blog fast enough, I will never be able to blog a post about my most current activity here! I will always be doing a backward post.. -__-

And my posts are all so jumbled up! Day 1-> Day 3-> Day 6-> Day 7-> Day 2-> Day 4-> Day 5 and now Day 10.. what happened on day 8 and Day 9?

Day 8 was first day of school.. I'm taking 2 modules here and my 2nd module will only start on Week 2.. So, first week of school was 2.30-5.30pm Tue-Thurs :)

We were rather shocked by the way our Introduction to Financial Markets professor's way of teaching.. She's a visiting lecturer from Harvard University.. and we think that she's over-qualified to teach a beginner's course.. She wanted to have NO final exams.. There will be a group project worth 40%, oral exam worth 25%, individual project and class participation is the remaining 35%...

The oral examination was so scary we went to buy the expensive HKD270 textbook immediately after class... There were 3 books left only.. And Thunder and I shared one.. After that, we locked ourselves in hostel to study cause we were afraid of the embarassment if we could not answer question in front of the whole class! (the oral exam: lecturer decided she had talked too much in class, then randomly call 2 person out.. give them a bunch of questions and 5 minutes to prepare WITHOUT looking at notes.. then stand in front and present to everyone! Questions can be about that day or the previous day's lecture content..) .. simply scary..


Anyway, after class on Thursday, we decided we need to get out of CUHK... Went to Mongkok for dinner.. :)

A porridge shop called Hai Jing...


Went with Jeremy, Jiaxin, Thunder...
and Sze Huey (with me...) delicious porridge! I had the fish and century egg porridge.. I like cantonese type of porridge more than the teochew type.. This is very smooth :)

We also had the char siew chee cheong fun... very nice too! except the "fun" is a little thick...
and also the "char leung" which is actually "yew char koew" wrapped with the cheong fun.. this was the best dish that night! simply great.. will definitely eat a few more times before leaving HK... :)



Then, we walked a bit to find Starla... She was waiting for us at Krispy Kreme... Next stop, Hui Lau Shan... the mango dessert shop everyone was talking about in Msia and Singapore...

There are many branches all over Hong Kong... We had a few types of the mango dessert.. It was indeed very Mango-ey!

More and more Mango... mango with mango in mango and mango... :)


After that, we walked to Langham Place... This shopping complex was in one of the HK dramas called "天幕下的恋人" ... It has a very long escalator and erm.. light display on the ceiling...

We went around window shopping...

And there was a live band performance at the top floor too... Nice singers... and the backdrop is very nice! with a mini fake waterfall by the side... :)



We left at about 11+pm... rushed back to CUHK in time for the last shuttle bus but there were sooo many people at the bus stop! and we didn't get to go up the bus... So, SH, Thunder and I walked back to hostel... so tiring :(
