Good evening!It's been a silent blog for the past few days. I have been studying like crazy for my exams. Getting up at six o clock in the morning and going to bed at ten at night. If I'm not taking the test, I'm studying! Ouchies! Three exams over with now which means I am officially more than half way through! :DToday was my worst exam. I really hope I scraped through, I'll be lucky ifI did but I'm trying to be positive. I really am looking forward to Friday when everythings finished!Then onto the GAMS... read more »
Afternoon!I haven't been feeling all that well for the past few days so my posting has been a bit off. I also have been really struggling with my exam prep so not being very productiveat all.Anyway something positive today: I attended a free GAMSAT webinar, from passgamsat.com. It was on how to approch the GAMSAT when you don't know where to start.The first half of the webinar was quite good and motivating and then the second half was pretty much trying to sell their online course which like all other GA... read more »
Afternoon!I didn't get a chance to update as usual in the past day or so, as I was studying for an exam. The exam period is two weeks and I have 5 exams in total. One this week and four next week. Today's exam went surprisingly okay I think! It wasn't that I did any extra revision because I just crammed yesterday and this morning! But I remembered a surprising amount of very specific information such as authors and years.Could my choline and inositol supplement be kicking in? I hope so! :DAfter the exam ... read more »
I decided to make this post about the challenges women face in their journey towards education.I live in a country which legally ensures that all women are treated equally, and yet the reality of life on the ground is we are not equal to our male counterparts.Research has shown that women are still consistently being paid less than men for doing the same job. I have had personal experience of this and it is the most sickening experience! I worked hard and cared about doing a good job, and yet I was getti... read more »
Evening!It's a nice (relatively warm) evening here and it's stopped raining! Yay! :)I have to be honest I had a ridiculously unproductive day today. I somehow sat at my computer and managed only to get 4 small questions covered...in 8 hours....yeah not good!I'm really quite tired today. I've so much to do and so much on my mind I think it's wearing me out. I just ache all over! I got to thinking about study fatique. When you just hit the wall and can't do anymore, which is where I'm at right now!I wanted... read more »

留學期間，其中一樣最鐘意打發時間既方法就係煮野食，而tiramisu就係我其中一個拿手甜品。係香港買以下既材料可能有d貴，但係西方國家就唔算貴啦！ *tiramisu 在意大利文指pick me up，實在是一個很浪漫的甜品！ When I was living abroad, one of the ways to spare my time is to cook, and Tiramisu is one of my signature dishes! Its a bit expensive to buy the ingredients in Hong Kong, Continue reading read more »
Two horses eating hay (Photo credit: Wikipedia) As an alternative to being with horses in the flesh, I recently took up several on-line equine home study courses. Many of these courses are expensive, probably way out of the reach of a lot of people, me included. But, there are free courses out there that are Continue reading read more »
離鄉別井來到外國留學，礙於行李重量的限制，可以帶的東西極為有限！想讓自己每天回到房間也有賓自如歸的感覺？以下的小貼士可能幫到你！ 1. 帶備相片 在離開前曬定一堆您喜歡的相片，到達後用以裝飾房間！留學期間想念家人朋友時又可看看他們的面孔！ 2. 海報名信片 善用身邊有的資源，看見漂亮的名信片可以買下來，然後貼在牆上！有時看見雜誌有喜歡的廣告，也會剪下來，令自己的房間更有個性！ 3. 傢俬擺設 剛到達新房間的時候可以看看傢俬擺放的地方是否合心意，不喜歡的話可以稍作移動，讓自己覺得房間是自己喜歡的樣子！也可以到特賣場，找找心儀的裝飾，讓房間更個人化！我在丹麥時便把床放到屋頂的窗下，晚上可以看星星，早上可以看藍天！ Leaving home alone and studying abroad, there are not too many things you can carry along because of the luggage allowance. If you would like to feel like home whenever Continue reading read more »
細細個上課曾經學過中國是禮儀之邦，但有時到外國生活時，發現一些外國人習以為常的舉止，很微不足道，但我們在香港/中國就是沒有這些習慣。可是假如我們每人也只是付出多一點點，身邊的人及社會的風氣也會好得多！沒有甚麼大想頭，只想從自己開始，在日常生活中作小小的改變。 1. 芝麻開門 這是我在英國時發現的，在倫敦生活的人，雖然經常也非常繁忙，但開門後永遠也會回頭看看有沒有人也要進來，只要看見有人走過來，便會開著門等一會，直到那個人來到。只是等幾秒，但是你會感受社會的氣氛更和諧！ 2. 說聲謝謝 在澳洲的時候，很多澳洲人下巴士的時候也會跟司機大聲說聲謝謝！我想因為彼此尊重大家，雖然大家也有付巴士錢，很多人也會覺得司機服務大家是理多當然，但其實大家也可以有一個感恩的心，說聲謝謝有多難？（我在澳洲也有說的，有時候司機還會跟我說‘晚安’，但是在香港還是不敢，好像感到司機叔叔會當我是傻傻的一樣！） 3. 不好意思 假如你曾經在繁忙時間在香港乘地鐵，可能你也會知道甚麼叫人山人海，明明已沒有空位，還是會有人勉強擠進車廂中。英國的tube (metro)也有擠人的時候，很多時候，假如當地人看見沒有空位讓他們上車，他們就會再等下一... read more »
