What would it be?

If your house was burning down and you only had time to save one thing, what would it be?

Maybe most of you have heard of the similar question before,
but do you still remember what your answer was at that time?
I guess, different answers will pop up in your mind at your different periods.
The answer you said last year may probably have different value to you now.
For me, I still remember few years ago,
my answer was my photo albums
because those were my memories which i couldn't create it again.
However, due to the technology nowadays,
those photos can be posted on the internet,
that means they can be downloaded again everywhere and everytime.
Those photo albums are then not that valuable anymore.
Thus, I re-think this question again.
This time, it took me so long to think for the answer and still,
I couldn't find the answer.
Seems like everything in my house can be bought again with money.
I mean my home in Hong Kong.
However, for the house I'm living now,
one thing quickly jumps into my mind.
It's my passport!
I cannot lose it or else it's probably going to cause me a lot of troubles!
How about you?

We've done it!

After three days of hard working,
Winnie and I eventually finished the podcast.
What a successful feeling it is!
Starting from zero,
having a little bit skills and shaking a mic to interview people,
these were what we've experienced these three days!
Let me record down what we have done from Friday onward!

Friday:
In the morning,
we've received a call that the lesson was cancelled.
We then dated in the afternoon to get back to school to start our project.
After borrowing the recorder, we discussed about our proposals.
We made some drafts and then interviewed some people.
Gotta say thank you to those who helped us with the interviews!
Thank you all, mate!
That's all we did that day.

Saturday:
In the afternoon,
Winnie came to my house and did the podcast again.
This time, we had a clearer idea of what we're going to do next.
As we are not good at ad lib,
we first wrote down the draft for our talk.
Next,
we recorded our parts and added some background music.
It's already nine o'clock when we had finished.

Sunday:
We edited the tracks and added some new elements like introduction and ending.
Finally, it's all done.

I felt so glad that we've borrowed the recorder on weekends,
or else we might not finish our podcast within next week
because we got loads of other assignments to hand in.
God bless our other assignments!

Birthday Party*

First of all, happy birthday, my dearest Faye!
I felt so glad to meet such a nice friend like you over here.
And thanks for inviting me to your birthday party, I enjoyed so much today!
Food was delicious and your home is really comfortable, especially the big sea scenery.
Oh my god, I like the sea view so much! =V=
The kimchi Jin brought was so tasty and even more tasty when it was fried.
I really ate a lot these two days, happiness is all I felt these two days.
Hoping that the blessing angel will continue to stand by my side.
We played a lot and ate a lot, all in all, we did have a lot of fun.

Here're the pictures...

Tasty chocolate mud cake, YUMMY! *O*

Can you see the starving people?

Four lovely flowers!!! Well...

Five communication students with the gorgeous sea view!

Special guest: Hitomi


Funny conversation:
(Situation: We're taking photos and I was standing at the back of the others.)
Shulina: Can you guys move a little bit to the left? The background isn't beautiful enough!
Me: Are you saying that I'm not beautiful enough? [Just kidding]
A big laugh from the others.

New Accomodation*

WOW~~~

Finally, I have moved to a new room.

What I have discovered is that, I really have lots of stuff.

Desipte the big luggage and hand carry luggage, I still have 14 small bags to carry.

And they're all heavy, especially the storage box which I put my previous notes.

I am so lucky to have my friend's help, or else, I just couldn't imagine how much time I would have to spend this morning.

Even though there were two of us, we still had to take three turns to move all the things.

I felt so happy after my movement, not only because I have a much prettier room, but also I met such a nice family.

I met them when once I came to their restaurant and bought take away dinner.

It's because we're having the same nationality--Hong Kong, we chatted for so long.

And when I told them my poor situation in my homestay, they volunteered to rent a room for me.

What more is that, they even took my friend and I to YumCha after I had settled down this morning.

I cannot believe I have the luck to meet such a nice family over here.

Tell you what, I felt like having the worst adventure after I have arrived in Sydney last October.

My previous accomodation really pushed me to the most depressed situation ever in my life.

I still remember that one night I cried so painfully on my bed because I had no supper for two days and almost starved to death and having no one to help.

What I have learnt is that sometimes I should be assertive to complain about the wrong treatment, I should never stand still and wait for it to improve.

But now, my fortune seems like having a new start.

At least, I don't have to worry about my meals anymore.

And now, I will change my living style which I used to keep hanging out in the street but not going home directly after school.

It's because I just love my new accomodation!

My luggages in a still packing situation...

Don't you think that's a lot?

P.S. Aiyo... I don't suppose to be that long!

I am just having too much feelings to comment.

Sorry if this entry bored you!

MCA visiting*

Yesterday, Jin and I went to visit the MCA, Museum of Contemporary Art.
In between all art works, there were two works that touched my heart.
One of them is a short video of sea.
In that video, a girl is struggling in the angry sea for around five minutes.
Why did I say it gave me a strong feeling?
It is because when you look at the screen, you will feel like struggling together with the girl.
I think it's a kind of success that the art work can give the audience a feeling.
And the other art work is a dark area decorated by knives on the ceiling and nails on the floor.
It is made by an artist who have been living under the pressure of unstable society.
When you look at his art work, you can feel the fear that he felt.
It really made Jin and I felt scared and that's the art work I remembered the most.

Actually, one more reason for why I like the sea video is that I love sea so much.
This is a photo of peaceful sea I took in Hong Kong before.

Accomodation Finding*

Finally, I have reached the age of 18, meaning that I can escape from home stay.
Together with two of my friends, we start our apartment finding journey.
It's kind of fun...
But to be frank,
sometimes I felt annoyed when we couldn't make up a time for inspection.
And to make it worse, my home stay have cut my internet connection...
That means I have to rely on the information found by my future home mates.
Gee!!!
I think I am kind of impatient at this stage...
because I REALLY WANT to move out as soon as possible.
