good evening, i am currently in the midst of preparing for my final examinations. despite my decision to emphasize "last", the truth is that it all ends with a whimper, not a bang.

nonetheless, the last semester has been particularly entertaining. learnt how to conduct a military invasion of hong kong, and of what chineseness is really about. i also studied business case studies (the historical ones, not that about profits and numbers) and i finally got down to doing my baby project on the king edward vii medical college strike in 1924.

i made a ton of new friends. we chatted about the future and present struggles, no doubt with the help of a very decent honours room allocated to us. i also got to travel to hong kong with these bunch of people; i can never look at hong kong in the same way. we tasted pipping hot buns by the streets, had sneaky pre-dinner meals at a curious sashimi stand near our hotel. we also went vintage treasure hunting - that was pretty fun - in addition to long, chilly hikes up the many mountains in hong kong.

next week, i shall be off for a little while.

As I grow older and become more financially independent, may I continue to struggle to wry myself from this age of entitlement, replacing it with a gentle an quiet spirit that is pleasing to God.
