lol im blogging now simply by the fact that if i don't, i probably wouldn't till the end of the year.

well, hongkong was fun to a certain extent. the debating, the shopping, the meeting of different kinds of people with terrific american accents, yea you get me. let me just briefly describe physically what happened.

day one and two was basically shopping cuz apparently me and angela thought that we only had the first three days to shop. spent like almost $200 sing on the first day luh. lol. had lunch and dinner together with everyone, though it wasn't really a together meal cuz of segregation to a certain extent, large extent even.

day three we had lunch together without loke but we had training from 3pm till 7+pm then we met sing and sharon for dinner and sharon brought us to causeway bay and we took a ferry! hah the view was spendid, just a lil giddy. tsk i was actually brimming with joy to the fact that i didnt go to ocean park the day before cuz i'd definitely have made a wasted trip. X)

day four onward, which was last monday, until sunday, we had debates everyday. we went to many schools, local and international schools for some simple debate demonstrations and workshop. it was cool i guess. but i realized that the debators and some other people in the local schools had terrific american accents, the others were all terrible in inunciating proper english. for the international schools, even some 11year old kid would beat me in terms of language. x.x

most of the international schools were on hills and i tell you, bus rides in hongkong is terrible horrible vegetable lah! i almost puked on one of the rides. the next bus ride i took i asked for a motion sickness pill from Justine. XD

the food there was okay i guess. we mostly had noodles. oh they have something damn cool. there's this fastfood restaurant called MAXIM which sells proper food! by proper food i mean rice, noodle, chicken, beef those kinda stuffs. waha oh yea, it's probably the food or the weather, and im glad to say i was one of the healthier ones. min puked for 2 days, cheekeen had diarrhea for 1 or 2 days, daniel had flu, then became feverish i think, then had diarrhea. lol.

anyway, food for thought, would you rather be a hypocrite who bitches behind someone's back while acting nice in front of someone, being POLITE.? or, would you tell your friend her faults directly and try to change her for her own good?

well that's one thing i learnt, (btw the other one doesnt really count, it didnt make sense anyway, cuz i was using e comp in Chinese International School thus there wasnt enough time to write it out proper) which is, that the first option usually applies to people whom you're not close to. while the second option, you can only apply it when you're very very close to the person and you know the person will forgive you for your blunt and frank manner of putting the message across and knows that you're doing all those for her own good, in which ever case, is very rare after you enter tertiary level.
