HKU 2005 - 06Flipping through the pages of my diary, I can recall all the things I did at HKU. And some of the regrets I have. Life at the beginning of the first semester was admittedly tough. I found it difficult to get accustomed to life here. Lectures were boring, the learning atmosphere in tutorials was hardly stimulating, the long travelling times were exhausting, accounting was killing me and I really missed my music-making. The happy me seemed to have gone. On more than one occasion, I doubted if I had made the right decision in coming back. After my first ever Law & Society tutorial with Anne Cheung, I was cursing repeatedly up and down the Sun Yat-Sen Steps before my Arabic lesson...'Do I really have to spend five more years like this?' I had a much happier time in the second semester. The study workload was considerably less than the first semester. Although I found studying BBA intellectually unrewarding, I really enjoyed the three group projects, especially the Marketing one. Events at the Global Lounge made my life much more exciting. A number of ad hoc engagements such as the Union Choir Mini Concert and being MC for the Investment Society Inauguration also meant I rarely got bored. But the most enjoyable thing must be going to the cinema at Cyberport with my parents every Tuesday afternoon when the other BLawyers were having their Chinese lecture! This summer I experienced some of my happiest moments at HKU. World Cup at the Global Lounge was fun, apart from making lots of money. Writing journal articles for PPAA and doing research for Lusina and Joe Lau brought back to me the enjoyment of academic pursuits. BA orientation gave me a chance to experience what I missed the previous summer. The chamber music concert allowed me to experience what I missed for one whole year. On top of these, the tradition of overnights at my home began and shall be continued... I'm grateful for all the experiences and opportunities I've had. I feel fortunate to have been taught by Lusina, Fanny and Cynthia. I'm glad to have met young people whom I would never have had the chance to meet if I had not come to HKU. I thank everyone of you for being a part of my time here, and for tolerating a somewhat strange person. As I said, I'm leaving with a number of regrets, one of which would be not getting to know better some of the people I've met, some of whom I really, really admire. As to my other regrets, I guess I'll have to keep them to myself... I wish I could have the universal remote control in Click, so I can relive another year at HKU..........in a slightly different way...... |
