S'yeah since last Friday I've been having some fairly hectic times! Strange to think I've nearly been here three weeks, I bet they've got the Christmas ads out at home already! nb. find out when Late Late Toy Show is on.
At the weekend I had lion dance training - meself and my "head" Jennifer were majaaahly epic at it. Like srsly. Although after 3 minutes of squatting it can be fairly hard to move yourself around for the next few days. Tar éis é sin I went to the student kitchen to make me some brownies for Cafe (sorry to patronize but I shall explain the italics down below). Thing is the student kitchen ovens are crummy so twas gooey and burnt at the same time but after a godlike rescue operation they seemed to go down pretty well? Then a bitta shopping in Ma On Shan with mammy Aine whereby she introduced me to mango ice cream gunk with warm gelatinous rice balls NOMNOMNOM.
Sunday I felt kinda crummy so I did feck all but twas grand anyway, went swimming dans la piscine and did a nice bitta of mooching. Even got oatmeal and banoffee pie for brunch scrummeroni.
Monday classes began but guess who had her first three blocks off? Yeeeeeeeaaaahh buddyyy that'd be me. So potentially had a lie in until 11:05 but instead awoke at 5:20 to make long distance skype call (time difference Y U SUCK SO BAD). Twas a grand aul chinwag for so early and I went back to bed afterwards so I cannae complain too much. Monday afternoon I went to the post office to post letters 1 and 2, ran back for a police talk (basically you get the death penalty for spitting and you shouldn't take ecstacy at "wave" parties - bring on the lulz). After that I went post officing again to accompany Liz to send her letter 1 and again pure shprinted back for coral monitoring service meeting. Then dinner (prolly some bony thing with overcooked veggies and congealed rice) and then my creative Quan Cai PHOTOGRAPHYYYY. Thing is, I've to take a decent picture by Monday week so that's a wickle bit stressful I'll admit. Theme is "Faces of LPC" and I've had a couple of ideas but one of those includes taking pictures of people brushing their teeth in the mirror before morning block but summat in my mind tells me that people may not appreciate that too much.
Tuesday blurblurblur, prolly had chem and lost.all will to live, then went to Ma On Shan with Liz on the MTR sent letters 3 & 4, trawled the wet market for freakayy stuff and bought custard bun type thing.
Wednesday blurblurblur, went to Ma On Shan again with Liz and finally changed some money and then it was a Hannah went to the shop and bought: grapes, pineapple, bananas, custard powder, rainbow cookies, oreos, cream soda etc etc etc.
Thursday soul was annihilated by chem. Broke into emergency choccy supplies.
Friday? Well that's only beginning.
Dear James' mom - Hello! He's being very well behaved as far as I can tell and I hope you can get some useful titbits or anecdotes from my blog!
GLOSSARY
Cream soda: vanilla flavoured nectar of life
Rainbow cookies: sugary wonder biscuits
MTR: Luas but HK style (aka well managed infrastructure)
Quan Cai: Kinda like Gaisce type things (we've to do a campus service, a community service, an action and a creative yokeymaboggy)
Coral monitoring: scuba diving, but whist, keep it on the DL and stick to coral monitoring. This would be me community service
Ma On Shan: closest shopping centre, s'about 10 mins away by MTR
Cafe: Me campus service - every so often we run a kind of variety show and sell cookies and shtuff that we make
Soz if a lot of my explaining HK terms requires Irish terms, but I'm afraid my audience is primarily as Eireann! All questions welcome, as always me e-mail is hannahhmae27@hotmail.com and addy is *deep breath*
