My exchange term is finished... I DIDN'T even have ONE post. what a fail ):
Regardless, I had fun.

Exchange
HKUST was a lot harder than most other exchange schools, surprisingly. I had to put in more effort to get the marks that I want/needed. However, I met a bunch of great friends from allllll over the world! Unlike the exchange students in Europe, I didn't travel much, but I'm happy to just studying. Without clubs and extracurriculars on my back, life was a lot easier :D

Work
I'm working in Hung Hom. I feel like I'm definitely spelling the MTR station wrong. Nonetheless, work has been quite slow. I've only been doing two projects and my whole department is gone this week. I've also started using Twitter because facebook is blocked at work. This makes me sad.

Currently on lunch break right now with like nothing to do.

Byebye Toronto... Hellooo HONG KONG

Arrived: Tuesday January 18th, 2011 4:23pm (2 hours delayed)

Thanks to snow in Toronto, my flight was 2 hrs delayed. But I slept through it all! That night my family and I went to have sushi.

I haven't been up to much since I got back other than eating and shopping, which isn't good. I've taken a few pictures of my various breakfasts which are uploaded on Facebook. PICTURESSSS

Surprises
So at 5:30am HK time, I checked careerquest and WABAM! an interview. ==" Probably the worst thing that can happen to anyone on exchange. First I have NEVER ever ever done a Finance interview before and thanks to Maxwell, Adrian, and Christie (a Branksome Alum '03), I was able to finish the interview without embarrassing myself. Thanks to Raymond, Julie, Steinertas, Alffie, Mark & Daniel Kim for believing in me ==". I was actually confused whether I would even do the interview. If I didn't, my blogpost would be like a paragraph shorter LOL

Shopping
Today, I went to a sample sale a bought one Diesel sweater and one Diesel blazer for 150HKD ($20 CDN) each! Although all the tags were cut off, you can definitely tell it's Diesel, thanks to the nice buttons and the nice washing instruction tags (: I also purchased little girly princess crowns just for the fun of spending money - 8hkd each (approx $1 CDN)

I went grocery shopping with my mom and bought like 3 pineapples. My dad was like .... what?!?. Salmon here sucks in comparison to the ones in Hong Kong.

..... and I MISS RAYMOND D:
