Still in HK!

It's been a long while since my last post! But like my friend K says, we're too busy living our lives to blog about it! So that's a good thing!

Anyways, a short summary on what I've been up to these few months...

• Finished my round 3 of exams! And I was the only candidate in the whole of HK for one of the papers....
• Hung out with Mr Lee from ABDB in the midst of studying for exams haa
• Levelled up in the realm of cooking by making okonomiyaki! It's all about the bbq sauce and kewpie at the end of the day :P
• Learnt that some friends in the group could have different personas depending on who they hang out with....
• Introduced A to Mr Lee
• Was introduced to A's friend who was visiting from the States

And I have began to bow out of those drinking/wine sessions with the usual crew. In fact, I haven't seen them for close to 2 months since I went on a 'retreat' to concentrate on exams. And I wasn't able to attend my dearest friend's wedding in Australia (still feeling sad, but there was really not much of a choice with exams days after). But I sure made it up by sending over a card and handcrafted gifts, and stuff for their new home (exchanged with my expiring Qantas points...I mean why let it go to waste?!). I was really touched when V said she will cook for me with the pots/pans and drink wine from the glasses I sent her way. :D Sometimes it's the little things that count and get to me

And I certainly haven't realised that it's almost been a year in HK! Cliched as it sounds, but time surely does fly by quickly! I think I have accomplished more in my life in this year in HK, had new experiences, met new people, learnt to do a lot of stuff by myself (changing lightbulbs, cleaning mould from wallpaper, stretching shrunken clothes from laundromat, cooking a lot more, dealing with leaking windows but that's been fixed!). 

Strange how I used to measure my accomplishments only through my work back home, but perhaps that was how I wasn't required to do all these chores cos I stayed with the folks. Not even studying for the law degree...somehow I didn't feel entirely proud even though everyone around me was raving about how great I am to juggle that with my busy job. But now, I do feel success is measured in a lot more other ways than at the workplace. Don't get me wrong, I still wanna ROAR at the workplace...but yes, maybe it's those female hormones kicking it .....

Another best friend, J, is gonna be here next week and yes, she's won a chance to stay with me and experience my lifestyle....(and then appreciate all that back home)...

To many more years in HK!

"Make You Feel My Love"

When the rain is blowing in your face,
And the whole world is on your case,
I could offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love.

When the evening shadows and the stars appear,
And there is no one there to dry your tears,
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love.

I know you haven't made your mind up yet,
But I will never do you wrong.
I've known it from the moment that we met,
No doubt in my mind where you belong.

I'd go hungry; I'd go black and blue,
And I'd go crawling down the avenue.
No, there's nothing that I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love.

The storms are raging on the rolling sea
And on the highway of regret.
The winds of change are blowing wild and free,
You ain't seen nothing like me yet.

I could make you happy, make your dreams come true.
Nothing that I wouldn't do.
Go to the ends of the Earth for you,
To make you feel my love
To make you feel my love

I guess that I've made the decision for both of us. I don't regret the times we had. Thank you for the moments, and for learning more about myself.
