Letter 35 - Is This Goodbye?

Dear Friends and Family,

Quite some time has passed since summer and my last post. As for what has happened, it was orientation, start of term, course registration, a couple of ISA events and everything as usual. Will be a long and busy year being my final year here in CUHK. I have decided that my usual write ups take too much time and that I will doing the easy thing and just upload pics directly from my phone to my facebook mobile folder. I might decide to write here ocassionally should I decide that I have something I want to talk about. In the meantime, watch my facebook to see whats happening.

From,
Ivan

Moving to the summer hostel sure was a big hassle. Lucky I had two extra pairs of hands =)

Letter 33 - Goodbye Sophomore Year

Dear Friends and Family,

It has been one whole week since the end of my last finals. Summer has arrived and so has hot weather, rainy days and lots of sweat. I have decided to stay over in Hong Kong for most of the summer to do some work. That means I will only head back home to Malaysia in August. I'm still wondering how I should spend my 21st birthday though. No plans as of now. But I have a feeling it will just pass by like any other day.

Letter 32 - Still Alive

Dear Friends and Family,

Been awhile since my last post. Basically been busy with assignments and activities. Finished up the "Fu Cup" competitions where we lost the 3rd place match in football but were second runner-up in basketball and runner-up in the tug-of-war. It's exam time now and I'm already done with 2 out of 6 papers. No concrete plans for summer yet though. I feel like time is passing by too fast. I'm going to graduate next year!

Letter 31 - Under The Bridge

Dear Friends and Family,

Finally done with mid terms. Things seem to be going on smoothly. Will be having a short easter break but with the end of term approaching, would be about time to start on my projects. As usual, been busy with lots of sports and activities. The ISA seems to be moving along pretty well and we hope to have another event before the end of the semester. As for me, I am surviving.

Photobucket
Spring came and the flowers were all in bloom. Still having good weather now but the flowers arent in full bloom anymore. And its gonna be a gloomy next few days with the sun gone.

Photobucket
Grad Students Picture Day @ CC. Can't believe it is my turn next year. =(

Photobucket
We still won that match though. Only to get pummeled in the next one.

Soccer.

Photobucket
Also won this soccer match. And we got the beat down in the next one too.

Too many late night activities makes a tired Ivan.

And guess what? I woke up at 6am this morning. I declare myself a non-morning person. So much for my Sleep Campaign last year.

Yours Sincerely(maybe),

Letter 31 - Forward

Dear Friends and Family,

Another month has passed. This post has been long overdue. However, I have been busy as usual and nothing new and interesting has been happening lately. Went back home for a week and it was a pleasure meeting most of you guys (and girls) again.
Chinese New Year break was too short and now that I'm back in Hong Kong, its business as usual. Still trying to balance work, sports, self improvement and social activities. I'll be participating in the 10km run of the Standard Chartered Hong Kong Marathon tomorrow. My first time running in Hong Kong. I'm just worried about the time. I have to get to Hong Kong Island by 5am in the morning. That means I have to wake up at just past 3. And that is less than 5 hours from now. Definitely will not bode well for my body's internal clock.
