Settling in All Over Again
Yesterday was yet again more administrative stuff, before going for a welcoming dinner at Tsim Sha Shui. Food was not bad, and including the buffet lunch that was provided, yesterday was officially the day which I ate the most after 4 days or so in hong kong. Time to hit the gym.
The highlight of yesterday was the pub and karaoke session with the 'Singapore gang'. It was time well spent together, as I'm sure it kinda brought all of us much closer to each other. Oh and karaoke in HK, real cheap! The simple games and drinks at the pub was fun and nice, and the singing was good and crazy too. And to think we just knew each other for about a day or so. Am feeling very tired now after my first stayout night in hong kong.
As for today, it was finally time to move to our permanent hostels. We could finally unpack all our stuff and feel really 'settled down'. After moving in to my perm hostel, I personally think that the idea of having orientation hostels for the first few days is not all that good. I kinda felt settled in during the last few days at the orientation hostel, and now that I have moved to another new place, it feels like I pressed the reset button and have to get myself settled down all over again.
Josh and I got assigned to New Asia College, and after going around the whole school, I would say we probably got the better one. Although it's way up high, the view is good. Morever, the school of communications and journalism is also located at the college, and there is a nice gym nearby, so its all good and convenient. Then again of course, with pros, there are cons. My room view is erm ... 'ok', as about half the view from my room window allows me to see the see the sea and some other islands. Josh has got a much better view at the other side of the building, and he's at a much higher level. But oh well, I shall attempt to console myself with the fact that I won't be spending too much time in my room. There's just so many things out here in hong kong I still wanna learn and explore.
With that said, the real concern is far from the view and where my room is, but more of my room mates. I actually got a triple room, and I'm a little worried about that. One of the locals have already moved in, although I haven't got to meet him yet. I really hope they are nice people, as I hope to learn alot about the hong kong culture from them.
Now that I have to re-settle into another new environment, the 'mixed feelings' I got a few days ago is back again. I am also feeling a little overwhelmed by emotions, as I'm missing my gf and home very much. As my friend said, it's the distance factor. Eventhough I spent lots of time away from home even when I was in Singapore, the feeling is so different as I am now in faraway hong kong.
Time to settle my modules, before I get some rest to recharge myself. To everyone at home, take care!
