It's been a while since the last time I blogged.. Sorry ><
This semester I am trying to be better… In some sense.
Well, six (deadly) courses with four core courses and two common core courses..
Woah.
I guess this semester I have gained some more lessons on essential skills in life (that I categorise as compulsory skills in our coming life)
1. Time Management
Yeah. With all the things that we have to handle…
This skill is so vital. Like, seriously.
And thanks to HKU (and this chur semester) it seems that I have picked up some basics on this!
2. Patience
It's not that I declare that I could give my right cheek when someone slaps my left cheek.
But to be honest, I could 'proudly' say that life tested me quite a few times this semester.
Well, didn't quite pass them… But I will try to do better!
3. Replying Email (of Writing in general) Professionally
Yesh. I love this.
I don't know why but I feel that I made hundreds of these stuff.
Application for this, application for that, cover letter, CVs, mailing professors…
But now I realise that this is one more lesson to be grateful of ;)
4. Knowing how (and what) to talk in interviews
Speaking from my own experience, your body language (facial expression, sitting straight up and showing some smile) together with some signs of enthusiasm is super important.
And one more stuff: make sure that you speak confidently and stay HONEST. You may 'brag' about yourself a little bit but don't make it to explicit. Keep it simple and classy ;)
5. Studying inside my room (?)
Well…
The truth that we cannot always expect to study with your friends..
Or to get any decent place to study on campus..
So yeah xD
6. Reviewing lectures
If you don't feel any difficulty or need to study more..
Than you need to move to a better university!
So starting this semester I could feel the 'hardness' already x_x
7. Eating less (?)
My 7 kilos… T_T
8. Taking decent photographs
Well, due to my next point, this has become a very crucial skill to obtain.
9. Enjoy more of my life!
YESH! I love this part the best!
So starting this semester, I decided to explore more of the foods and sceneries that Hong Kong offers!
If you want to take a peek about what I have stumbled upon around Hong Kong, you could visit my Instagram account below here:

Hope that you guys will have an amazing semester like mine! <3
Cheers!
