CHM5642

I have a test on SUPRAMOLECULAR CHEMISTRY in an hour's time!!!!

just the start

of a new semester. Although it's been 1 and a half months already. Been busy getting my hands full with wavenumbers and macrocycles, i hardly have time to get up and walk around! I know.. "i'm on exchange" right?! Exchange students don't study, remember? but i won't be able to pass if i don't study, and if i don't pass, this exchange will go down the drain! Last weekend was spent partially on lessons ( 7 hours!!!) at HKUST, seafood at Sai Kung, Church and mugging again. When I look back at what I want to gain from this journey, I think one of my utmost significant objective is to really in Clare's words "discover myself" and "who the Lord is fashioning me to be". Comforting to know that as I continue to discover who I am (the girl who's going to be an adult this year!!! boooo :( ), that He who began a good work in me, will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus our Lord (Phil 1:6)! There are times when I feel an emotional wreck, and there are other times when I feel plain, and still others when I feel satisfied. I guess the most important thing I wish of myself is to stand strong in Christ, with unwavering faith (no compromisation!), and a heart wholly devoted to Him. That explains why i feel what i feel at times when for the sake of convenience and company, i forsake His love for me. so sorry Lord! I need to stay focused on Him :) Always and forever.

I'm loving the Hong Kong weather - free air con wherever you go! I was freezing my buttocks off in January - 7 layers for 7 degrees! don't laugh :D It's 18 degrees now! and no.. I don't have 18 layers on. haha. Thank God for the safe ride back, although I had to abandon my extra 10kg of overweight luggage with mom :(




God has been good to me.

My weekend

On Sunday, we had lunch at a mega toilet place. Very interesting..
Can you see the lighted urinals and the pangsai lamps?

The eating area. I think they should allow us to wear their bathrobes!

Pearl and her toilet bowl full of ... food.

Angus and his flourishing "business".

Sue and I with our delectable hotpot of assorted food.

The gang
Observe the toilet bowls we're sitting on! and the bathtubs and washbasins as our tables!!

On saturday night, I met a Singaporean during one of my chemistry classes (Pharmaceutical Chem). Realised that it was a post grad class!!! Anyway, he's a masters student who was from acs(b) and acjc! cool eh. He's quite a food addic. So brought us to eat dai pai dong at Java Road in North Point.

Wanton with creamy cheese inside!

Wai Zin, an NUS girl I met on exchange in HKUST. She's a math's major my year!

That's the masters guy - cheong sin and jiahuan!

Haha. Random. But on sunday morning, we had yumcha at 9am in the morning! at Hk's famous Maxim's palace. wooohooo. (yumcha before church. can you beat that!)
I realised that HK allows freedom of speech. This is a Filippino pastor preaching on the streets at central. Along the way, I also met an angmoh man holding a healing session. To my surprise, many people were there to recieve healing! On the streets!

That's roy and jang with a table-full of dim sum!

小笼包

forgot the name!

糖虾

炸wanton

Yupp. After yumcha, Sue and I left for Church service at ICA.
One of the church member's father/husband passed away recently. Don't know them. But felt their sorrow. Maybe because it reminded me of what happened to my Dad. Thank God for His faithfulness and love.

This will be my 4th week in Hong Kong. Then can I safely say that I have spent a month in HK! cool eh! ~
Coming back in a week's time! Can't wait. Miss home miss family miss church.

And Guess what. it's 7 - 9 °C in Hong Kong now! Freezing! brrrrrrr!!!!
