Hong Kong University Taster Days III
Third day - 9th June
We had arts workshop today. We are separated into 3 different groups and places into three different lecture hall. We learnt 3 different language which is Korean, Japanese and German.
Go-ma-wo-yo, arigato gozaimasu, danke.
(Thank you in 3 languages)
Later on we have a lecture on linguistic workshop which now only I know there are more than 6000 language in the whole world and the biggest language in the world is not English but Chinese because they have the highest people to lecturers ratio.
After that is the philosophy workshop which made us think what is happiness and meaning of life.
If there are a machine that can brings you to the future, will you try on it?
What is happiness?
Try to think about it. =)
Afternoon session we went to visit St. Pauls Co-ed College. They had a music performance for us. Quite nice and enjoying, especially the choir and the clarinet. Later on the students from the college lead us for a heritage walk along Hong Kong park. Our group have Cynthia leading us, a sweet girl. =) We visited the visual arts museum, bird park and the Olympic square.

After discussing, we decided to went up Swire Hall first to obtain our writing materials as I think not much people will go there. As expected, we were the first group to reach there. We were asked to identify 25 the important things, people or building in the specific country around the world. Khai Liang was the only one that keep answering throughout the session. Amazingly, we complete the task within 5 minute and we successfully chose the writing materials we want.
Next, we ran to Main Library there to ask for our adhesion materials. At that station, we were ask to explain out the phrases about green environment without saying our the words for out team mates to guess. Thirdly, we went to Shaw buildings to obtain our cutting materials. In that station, we have to arranged out the location of hostel of HKU on the map. We did it in a short period as there were explanation given and we did some cheats too. XD
After that we went to the paper station to get some paper. We have to learn an African Dance before we can get our paper. The dance is mostly based on the sound of clapping. It has to be fast and the timing have to be very accurate. It was fun to learn it.
We was the last group to reach the last station for the extra materials. The task there is to identify the national flags of different countries and say 'Thank You' using their countries' national language. The last thing we got from there was a smiley cop.
Overall, the materials we got can be considered not bad. The paper is just sufficient for us, we got glue, scissors and marker pens. The only thing we lack of is pencil. Therefore, we exchanged out marker with a pencil which enable us to draw.
We were very satisfied on our final product as it was really nice. We had a buffet dinner in between the preparation time and some of us just ate a little as we were busy decorating the card.

Hong Kong University Taster Days II
Second Day - 8th June
Gathered at Bay View Restaurant for breakfast at 8am. Had a Chinese dim sum as breakfast. That was the yummy-est dim sum I had ever tried in HK for the three days.
Later on we went on our coach to the site engineering. I was arranged to white group which is under the civil engineering part. We went to visit the site for the sewage treatment along Victoria Harbour. From there I know how the sewage was treated before they were released to the sea - chlorination and dechlorination.
While walking through the factory, we were asked to put on the safety equipments which made me very uncomfortable.

Hong Kong University Taster Days I
Went to Hong Kong University for 4 days 3 nights taster days programme. This programme actually is planned for overseas students to know HKU better and to promote them to study in the university in the future. They have invited the top 25 schools in over 10 countries to join this programme.
HKU invited our school to send 3 students there to join this programme. Our teachers open this opportunity to the top 20 from each stream. Those who eligible can write their names and prepare for the interview. I was lucky to be chosen to this programme as I was the last candidate to be chosen from the list. Yvonne Yew and Khai Liang joined me in this tour to HK.
The fee of this programme is fully sponsored by HKU including food and logging. We will only have to food the bill of our air ticket. Furthermore, there will be a fixed allowance of HKD1500 given to us to cover our spendings on our air ticket. Therefore, we do not spend much on this trip actually.
First day - 7th June
Went to airport early in the morning to catch the earliest plane to Hong Kong. We took Cathay Pacific to HK as we got the promo price. Thanks to Steven koko for helping me getting such a cheap fare. Love the breakfast provided by cathay. It was yummy, just they have to prepare more tomato sauce for me will do. =)

Reached there at around 11.30am. Meet Josephine in front of Burger King for the coach to HKU. We strolled in HKIA as we still have around 1 and half hour free time before the second coach reached for us. HKIA is really big compared to Penang International Airport. We even have to take the express train inside the airport to collect our luggage.
Along the way to the university, I saw the difference in the city comparing HK and Penang. In penang, we saw many trees while in HK are mainly tall buildings. We passed by the Tsing Ma bridge and the container terminal which Jackie Chan's action movie like to shot there. Some roads in HK have only 2 lanes which can be said similar to the lorong in Penang. =)
Finally, we managed to reach HKU. The coach first drop us to Wei Lun Hall, which is our hostel for the whole programme. Frankly, the room for us can be considered not bad already. A twin sharing room with air conditioned, bathroom with hot water supplied, a common room with a water cooler and refrigerator.
My room-mate is not Yvonne as expected, the organiser wish to separate us from the same school and knew other participants as well. I was arranged to be in the same room as Rachel, a girl from Johor currently studying in Taylor's, Subang. She is a nice and friendly girl. Its nice to be her room-mate.
The first group activity was the orienteering activities. We have to solve 20 questions about HKU by running the whole campus. Phew, tiring and I can say that its not very fun at all. Maybe we do not know the place very well. Overall, we got the 5th place. Not bad de right? Actually there was only 8 groups in this programme. Haha. As the penalty, our group have to perform during the welcoming dinner later.
We had our dinner in Joseph's Restaurant. It served us western food. The food there quite nice just the magician which perform for us a little bit... However, it is considered good as he is still a beginner. A plus for him for his courageous to perform on top of the stage.

Holiday Part II
2ND JUNE
Went out early in the morning for sunrise in QE II. Amazing and beautiful. Feel that I really like to watch sunrise. You can feel how the sky changes from night to day, how the ray of the sun break the darkness of the sky.
3RD - 5TH JUNE
Woke up early in the morning. After having breakfast with mum and dad, I went to Chung Hwa for a three days two night camp. Participated in this camp for 4 years already. Still like to work with this big warm family. Love them a lot!

Holiday!
27TH MAY
Ok. My holiday started on 27th afternoon and since that day, the only thing that I remembered was play play and play.
As usual, we go through the programme first and i was assigned to do the sharing part. I was not good in sharing, how could I be in-charged in this section? But nevermind, there are a lot of experts there to help me, think they will cover me when I say something wrong^^. Its a new challenge for me!
After discussing, we started to practice the hand language for the camp song. Its a new thing added during committe's meeting that we can have fun after the long stressful meeting. For the ending of our meeting,
LiFong brought us her birthday cake and wine. The grape wine was best!!
