MaD Asia 2012 in Hong Kong

Reported from hongkong of MaD event on Jan 6 n 7 2012. MaD program is aiming to enlighten and enrich youngsters to Make a Difference. find out more here:)

although i am very tired now. imagine that we have to stair up to 9th floor, bcos no lift in our hostel, it is a very old building, n a bit scary here, but we have no other choice, we decided to book hotel in a very last minute, so other good hotel has already booked either it's fully/partially booked on Jan 6-10. so here we are; me, daning, n N (N is my new friend from cambodia, nice n a bit over-excited girl :D, we just met here in MaD, but actually we contacted each other via Skype before came here).

On 6th we had flight at 2.15 pm from Taoyuan airport, n arrived around 4 pm in HK, then went straightly to MaD venue in Kwai Tsing Theatre (around Kwai Fong MTR station). anyway, about the event. the show was started at 6 to 11pm. I lovee its opening ceremony. The stage was AMAZING! we had opening speech from foreign guest speakers also. here are some pictures of it..

MaD teams on registration day

On 7th, we all should queuing up to get in to the workshop, first come first serve, but so far went well. I attended some workshops in Auditorium. n at 1.30 pm we can reimburse the flight ticket for USD 300 as a subsidy. yeay finally we get our money back, n can have something to buy.

MaDee lined up to join the program

"What can we do with technology?" workshop

"What can we do with empathy?"

Open activities

What is actually in my mind? wait for it... i'm still thinking.... yes still thinking untill now, have no idea! =.=

After got our reimbursement, we had lunch at Kwai Tsing Plaza near the venue, and found this food, overall it's good, cost HK$50 per person. nyam nyam.

The last activity on that day was in open space, West Kowloon, we have to took train to get to the place. it's like 6 pm at that time, got night sightseeing there. so lovely. sounds a bit hyperbolic but suddely i fall in love in this city n want to leave taiwan, haha. but really, it's much better here. from the food, language to communicate, transportation, the direction, n rarely to see dogs around the street.

Fishball, this food is really gooood.. want more *drooling*

Let's!!!

That is Hongkong island over there, across the island where we stand. Hongkong has few islands that get connected to each other by MTR system (the train). There are four big area in HK; Hong Kong island, Kowloon, New territories,n Lantau island.

that's it for today, going to sleep early n prepare for tmrw..

Chinese paper cutting class, Last day, & Christmas fever

2 weeks ago we learnt Chinese cutting paper in Chinese class. i love doing this thing. it's like in the kindergarten^^ then our laoshi told us about the history in the ancient time that if a girl doesn't have ability to do cutting paper no one will marry her :D but it's not anymore.

We were making chuan that has the meaning of spring. i thought it was christmas tree :D

Christmas fever in Taiwan, every Taiwanese will greet us 'merry christmas', even they know that we are not celebrating it. and i got chocolate from Linda, my roommate. well, i can't say no for a gift, so i took it, haha.. thanks anyway:)

This is our last class (thanks to mas donny for all the photos, always take a picture for every moment), next week is gonna be a final exam. wishing all a good luck! jiayoo~~

The Little Things I Need

I had bad impression when i first came to Taiwan, common problems that we all facing were the food.toilet.and have no mosque/mushola (place to take pray) inside campus. but since i live in their world.i am the one who should adapt myself, not them. so thanks to all who had help me to deal with these problems. i can now enjoy my life here;) n be grateful to have this experience.

*still not comfortable with the toilet though, have no water n bad smell~~haha

Thanks for all the support: my families, friends, professors, and for all the little things i need......

Classmates

My little hero, astro boy doll.. i was wondering when will my real hero come, haha..

Notes from my roommate:) i told you before i have 2 nice roommates. but most Taiwanese change my name from "R" to "L". haha, but never mind, as long as i still have a good name.

Wati and Daning birthday was on the same day, 11Dec11. it was the first time for Daning, so yes she cried:) Birthday song by William and us, in 4 different languanges; Indonesia.Malaysia.English.Chinese.

Time and venue: 12AM in front of Family Mart, female dorm I, YZU

Hotpot for our dinner, thanks for the treat :9

my tight schedule for these two months. Actually i only have three days on class (tuesday, thursday, n friday). but start on early Nov i took a job as TA to prepare class for morning study at 7-9am, twice a week (monday n wed). n i also set a schedule for routine swimming on friday n saturday morning, but it's really getting colder now, i should stop swim by the end of Dec. myb i should try gym as an alternate, only during this winter.

morning study for the undergraduate students. to be honest, this is an easy job, i only have to prepare the class and sit there for two hours long. but the hardest part is to stay awake at this very early morning! haha! look at them.. look at the difference on those pictures. what can i say, can't blame them:))

my made-self dictionary. i wrote all new chinese words that i heard anywhere n anytime. i hope i can speak chinese well when i come back to my country^^. I plan to take three-months chinese program in NTNU after i finish my study in YZU.

last Wed, my professor invited me to have lunch together with her undergraduate students. It was all delicious! Apparently, my friend said that this is a high class restaurant. my lunch package is NT600, only for me, wow. that chinese characters written on the plate was the name of the restaurant.

then on my way back to campus, my friend brought me here. oohh nooo, it's 17++, she's very sexy x_x, but my friend said they only sell food n drink, they are not bad girls.. yeah whatever for me it's still not good.

last but not least..my crappy-laptop that had been accompanied me travel around for almost 4 years. such a mess. that was on my first week here.

"What goes around, comes around"

If you have faith n always think positively, good things will come to you. and vise versa. so cheers up guys!!!:))
