*Sneezes and Coughs*

Falling sick...... Katherine was saying that it could be the worsening air in Hong Kong...... I dont really know.......

Met a Singaporean couple today through Reuben...... Kai Jie and his fiancee Katherine...... Both are working in Hong Kong...... Kai Jie in UBS and Katherine in EY....... Played badminton and it was darn fun...... Because Kai Jie and Reuben both can play rather well hence the doubles game are quite exciting...... Even Katherine can hit a few good decent strokes to push the guys...... Wooottt......

We were thinking to make it a weekly thing so that now we may need to buy our own rackets instead of borrowing from another of Reuben's friend........

Going to Shen Zhen this coming weekend....... It should be fun....... The Manila tickets are already booked....... Will be in Manila and Boracay Island for the whole of reading week....... Hohoho....... Exchange students are really slack...... Hohoho........

School is incredibly boring....... Completed two assignments....... There are 2 projects that are on the way....... Urrrggghhhh......

Gotta apologize for the lack of photos...... You guys should know that I seldom take pictures....... Will try though...... :P

Shell Gourami is over!!!
7 hectic and very fun days in a nice environment.......
Shell totally pampered all of the candidates....... All the meals are very nice buffet in Shangri La....... Some of the dinner is taken off-site at some really nice mansion........

The case is also very very interesting....... Much more interesting and realistic than the ones that I took part in before....... Its been a really good time and I enjoyed it alot.......

The other candidates are really nice....... Met alot of people and also made alot of new friends....... Some of them are even coming over to Hong Kong for vacations...... So I get to meet up again....... Some of the Chinese candidates came from Beijing and Fudan university hence I will meet them when I travel to Beijing.......

Love it in Gourami.......

Just got back from Guang Zhou...... 2 days and 2 nights....... Its quite fun....... Went to some leather wholesale market....... Gals will go crazy over there........

Short trips will be to Shen Zhen, Macau, Guang Zhou and some islands in Hong Kong......
Long trips will be to Shang Hai, Beijing, Manila and Boracay Island.......
Woottt........

Will update with some photos whenever I get my hands on them.......
Cheerios........

Arrived in Penang.......
Good flight...... Stress level building up.......

Other than the business case itself...... Shell paired the candidates up with some senior people in Shell....... I didnt know this until the concierge told me that my room mate is from US...... He jokingly asked me not to mind about his age....... When I inquired further, I realise he is 56.......

Meaning to say that he is probably some senior Shell guy from US........ Darn freaking stress......
I kept the room in such neat fashion that will put a experienced chambermaid to shame......

Anyway, everyone is only coming in tomorrow but I guess there are no flights from HK tomorrow hence I get to enjoy that posh room one day more than the rest.......

The place is like some 6 star beach resort...... Bahhhh..... Its Shangri La...... However, I guess I will not be able to enjoy it too much....... Oh well, lets see how it goes.......

Cheerios...... :)

Settling pretty well in Hong Kong..... Other than my courses and my internet connection..... Everything is pretty ok.......

I thought its kinda boring already...... Other than shopping..... Theres nothing much to do...... The clubbing and partying are good..... But I am not that much of a party animal.....

The gals we are with are quite "homely" people..... They don't like to hang out late....... Late by their definition is about 9pm...... Yeahhh..... So you can just imagine......

The locals are ok...... Friendly but you have to be really pro-active to get them to open up....... The hall life in Hong Kong is really damn interesting..... But certain aspects of it aint really up to mark....... They freshmen are treated alittle like recruits..... They draw lines between seniors and freshmen....... Though Im a year 4 but Im kinda like freshmen to them...... Oh well......

Met some people here as well......... Kimberly and Faith....... Both from the US tagged along with us on the first few days....... Pretty nice and decent people.......

Gonna post up pictures once I get my hands on them.......
Alright..... Time for bed......
Cheerios......
