Time flies when you are having a good time.....
It has been five months since I first stepped into this place. And yesterday, some of the better friends that I have made during this period of time already had to go back to their own country. It was a sad day - knowing that only time can tell when should I see them, if ever, again.
Like the chinese saying goes “天下没有不散的筵席“ - whenever there is gathering, there is always time for parting. But, technology nowadays has surely made it a lot more easier for people to keep in touch. There are emails, msn and of course, the posibility to visit them some time in the future.
I really treasure all the memory in this short period of time that we are together.
So friends ... do take care of yourself, wish you all doing great in this journey of life and may our path cross again in the future.
有缘千里来相会 - 即然我们相识过，证明我们是有缘的。
后回有期。。。

Study Break
I just realised that I have not updated my blog for quite sometime. Dunno wat exactly I was busying about lately, hahaha. Anyway, I should be studying for my finals now but as usual, so bored. So thinking of writing something, anything here first as a break.
I am pretty happy these few days coz my HSK (汉语水平考试）got good result. A few moment after I know my result, I suddenly realised one thing. It seems that those things that I did in a relaxing, no pressure condition, most likely can get good results - obvious example is this HSK thingy. FYI, I joined this test not because that I urgently need it for work or as an entry requirement for further study. I joined just for the purpose to know where my mandarin standard is or as Fonny says is bcoz of 'iseng' (just for fun) :D
Thinking back, actually a lot of things that I do on 'iseng' basis actually materialised. Like going for a walk-in job interview - I got one of the job by that means and it was the most lasting job that I had ever been. It was quite unexpected coz although the job was still quite related to my study but the industry was totally not what I ever thought of.
On the contrary, those that I prepared whole-heartedly for, just couldnt land that job.
Sometimes it really feels like a joke...
But of coz, those iseng things that I did, I also put some efforts in it. Well I wouldnt want to waste RMB250 into the drain to test my mandarin standard without putting any fight ;p or maybe the no pressure condition has enabled me to absorb more. Anyway, I am glad for the timebeing. I think I wouldnt want to join the high level HSK anymore. This intermediate one is enough, I dun need if for anything anyway - yet. So why waste the registration fee on that, hehehe....cheapskate in action :)
Ok then, gotta back to my books now....
