Hong Kong University of Science & Technology...Hooray!!

Sorry guys that i let u all waited so long before posting this...but u know lar, first two weeks in a whole new environment is busy, tiring and also FUN at the same time, for sure. BEING IN HK IS JUST SYIOK!! I tell you guys what...walking around here just feels so natural and comfortable to me...as if like i have been here for a very long time. Everywhere u go u see chinese, and they speak cantonese which i m familiar of, and the culture is fundamentally the same! AND MOREOVER, THERE ARE NO MALAYS!!! YEAH!!!! HOORAY!!!! it's really super-heaven to not to see a muslim. =D =D

Today i went to Causeway Bay 铜锣湾 after the maths exam in the morning. Tell you guys what...i already lost 25 marks out of 100...shit...i feel so beh syiok...coz i study hard for it. It's just that the question in calculating revenue and cost is not familiar to me...but i m very sure i have grasped the rhythm...i m sure i can cope with it...time is what i need, that's all. I will work ten times harder, if it means to be it! so no worries guys...u know ur super-inferior friend here...i m just feeling inferior all the while, and that's my strength to move up the ladder. If i am inferior and not getting the rhythm, then do worry about me. But now i figure out the rhythm d...hmm, so basically time is what i need. :D
...

About my visits to Causeway Bay, Mongkok旺角, Wanchai湾仔...i will talk bout them in the next post...first thing first...MY UNI!!!!

HKUST is a uni which doesn't look like sth great...until u get inside it, starting to use the facility and study then u will realize how great it is...day after day, i love it more! First, the surprise of extremely BEAUTIFUL VIEWS!!! Our campus overlook mountains and sea since it's in the northeast part of Hong Kong, where most of the city not so 'over-developed' (altho they are not that developed, u can tell that the traffic, cities, services, public amenities are at least ten to twenty times greater than Penang!!! i can say, overally better than KL too). Do you guys know how much u will be fined if u are found litter on the street?? if i dun remember wrongly, the taxi driver said HKD3000...which is around RM1500...therefore the streets of HK is extremely clean!!

All right...now guys...back to photoes!! my uni is a place where u will see the beautiful mountains, sea and green landscapes. my room even OVERLOOKS A WATERFALL!!! WAHSAI...what you guys think of it d? according to the hong kongers, it's the top uni with the best view in hk!!! let the photoes prove it! :D :D


It's a view of my room's only window...


This is the waterfall beside my room!!! OMG!!!


Another view of it...


that's apartments of professors.They live so high up on the top, they haf all the broad sea views!!! i'd been there like two days ago...it's breathtaking!!!


From the bridgelink which I walk to classes everyday...scenaries like this is what i see everyday...


That's the Halls where students live...i din catch a photo of my hall yet...next time :D


This seaview is basically what i see everyday...our uni is simply beautiful!!


The beautiful landscapes like this in my uni is very common...hehe...syiok leh?


That's a top view on our outdoor sports complex.As you can see, it's beside the sea!!


Our outdoor swimming pool...ya, u bet it...it's beside the sea too!! and we haf another indoor swimming pool summore :D:D


See that long bridgelink? this is the fundamental walkways in our uni...basically, u dun need to walk on roads to reach classes on the other side...u just haf to walk thru bridgelinks which are everywhere, take the correct lifts, then u will reach ur place.Lost? there're onlining machine which u can search for the place u wanna go. Guides will be provided. :D


One of the big halls which inside it offices of professors and departments group. Classes oso. It's a maze inside...because the office spans so far...they join to another hall without u noticing it...so, getting lost is nothing new inside it.


See that? it's our library...it has 5 floors...well, i hadn't shoot any pic of it...so i might as well take a faraway shot...


All right guys...i have to go bath...just came back from causeway bay and it's pretty tiring. we share money to buy 'Risk' here oso, and those guys wanna watch movie we borrowed from the library...so, i think tonite gonna sleep very late d...shit...but it's FUN!!!! I WILL UPDATE AGAIN!!! KEEP ON CHECKING!!! :D :D
