Wong Sin Yee, from National University of Singapore, Singapore

February 27, 2012 ( Monday )

As some of us exchange students from Singapore do not have any classes on Monday, we decided to head to the Ocean Park Hong Kong today. We gathered in front of Hall 4, our usual place for gathering before we head to any places, at 9am.

After having our breakfast at MacDonald’s at Admiralty at Hong Kong, we took a bus from the Admiralty bus station to Ocean Park.

We started off our day at Ocean Park with a thrill ride at Flash, which was the first thing that attracted our attention upon arrival here.

I still couldn’t believe that I actually rode this. I could actually count the times my eyes were opened!! But we were glad that we actually rode this after that despite screaming of regrets while we were on the ride!

After the mind-blowing extreme rides, we headed to the Ocean Theater to catch the dolphin show. We were really impressed and fascinated by the dolphins’ ability to do all the cool tricks.

It is my free day again! A local friend of us decided to bring us to the new territories of Hong Kong for day cycling, as according to him, it is a must-not-miss activity in Hong Kong. We rented our bicycles at Tai Po Market, and started off our journey all the way from Tai Po Market to Tai Wai MTR, and then back to Tai Po Market in the evening. We got to enjoy the breathtaking seaside sceneries at the new territories. What a relaxing life!

At night, we went for a BBQ buffet dinner at Tai Po Market, and enjoyed ourselves tremendously there! We managed to catch the last train, and reached our hall at 1am.

As I only have 3-day-week with 6 courses, today is a very busy day for me as I had 7 hours of classes. Still feeling tired, I started off my Economics II lecture at 10.30am, followed by Asia Pacific Capital Markets and Supply Chain management. After that, we decided to ‘reward’ ourselves with Dim Sum at a restaurant called Tim Hou Wan. Our favourite dish is the fried barbecue pork bun. The taste is simply awesome!

It’s another busy day for me filled with lectures and tutorials. I am also involved in the English Language Mentoring Scheme (ELMS) as a mentor, with 7 mentees. For our usual session at 4.30pm today, we decided to go to the Super Sandwich at Festival Walk for a tea time. We enjoyed our time sharing different cultures from Singapore and Hong Kong there, while having our food.

At night, we went to Lan Kwai Fong as suggested by my friend to have an experience at Hong Kong’s night life. As we are not good drinkers or alcohol lover, we decided not to have any drinks there but just to have a walk at the street.

Today is as usual for a school day. After attended Corporate Financial Policy lecture in the morning and Security Analysis in the evening, I headed back to hall to join the dinner cooking session organized by the my friends, who are also exchange students from Singapore. We bought the raw food and ingredients from Taste supermarket at Festival Walk and the costs are split among us. The meal is simply scrumptious. After the meal, we had Wii game session at Hall 2, which is a great bonding session for us to get to know each other better.
