MeriKuri-

- 一舉兩得的linguistic romance — 香港朋友們的外國男朋友,都有一個共同點--fb都會附加一個中文名/chinese minor的。就像zuckerberg為了進軍中國學中文,所以有一個中國女朋友是advantage。
- 回到香港後要做的事情:把macbook修好,找international version的教課書。
- yeah=P : Your final exam grade was 94 (average was 73), and your final grade is A. Nice job! –Allison
- 熱海搜查官…the most わかりにくい japanese drama I have ever watched…the level is totally comparable to Inception…@__@
Transcend and Transform – 2010
My Mundane Existence @ 2010 大事回照顧
A Year of Transition:
I added a major, I went to Japan for a dream-come-true summer
I visted 12 airports in one year.
I am a Junior, finally living up a normal campus-lifestyle, at my own will, after 2.5 years of chaos.
Just like any other year, 2010 could be truncated to: Spring-Summer (Japan)-Fall. For I am such a malleable person, my mindset/behavior differed significantly in these 3 stages. I already forgot who I was in Spring..seriously. Anyway, just like any other year, I will just try to summarize (factually,,,academic/career/travel) my year below.
song of the year: 飛女正傳 – Miriam Yeung

往事網事
網齡愈十年,有兩位值得一提的網友。
(1)
他是香港某大學的法律系副教授,一位來港才六年的英國老外,專門研究中國日本勞工法例。機緣巧合之下開始電郵通訊,聊一下日本民主党改朝換代,日政府欠債累累,或者是日常軼事。最後終於在一家法國餐廳吃一頓午飯。他說 我還以為你會有美式口音。我笑說,你身為英國人卻有一點亞洲腔調。
由那頓飯過後,我決心要學好餐桌禮儀,不能再醜態百出。
(2)
在一個香港女生網頁同盟內認識了這位網友。她比我年長四年,但卻是無所不談。記得以前放學在公車81C上,等到她放學時間就會打給她吹水。她會考放榜哭著致電。聖誕節還畫了一張聖誕卡給對方。以前喜歡過一個男生,我們‘三線’打去那男生的手機,她就照我吩咐亂說了句“喂,唔該daisy“ ,聽到對方開聲說”下,打錯wor“ 就興奮把電話切掉。
但經過這十年,我們重來沒有見過一面。

我是網上購物狂。考完試後,買了兩本教課書,一本non-fiction,一張海報(因為同學說我的房間很empty),一條毛氈(因為我的blanket真的ok薄)。
