Uptown Girl

The end of March. Still working on my writing sample to submit to Hong Kong University. I should wrap that up, as well as the application, within a week or so, then mail it out and play the waiting game. In the meantime, the semester is wrapping up quickly. A few more tests and writing assignments, then finals, then summer time.

Recent activities included a visit from Michelle, in which we got dressed to the nines and attended a high table English Society dinner at the Regal Kowloon in Tsim Sha Tsui; went to the Zoological and Botanical Gardens to ogle at a multitude of monkeys, a Chinese porcupine, and some flamingoes; saw a Malaysian horror film at the Hong Kong International Film Festival; was coerced into my first karaoke singing experience (I tackled Uptown Girl and a few Eric Clapton songs); and stood witness to Hong Kong's version of Mardi Gras, (the Rugby 7's), in which foreigners of all nationalities did their best to dress idiotically, get shitfaced, and represent their countries in the most asinine way possible.

Concert review of the upcoming Misery Signals show sometime in the near future, as well as possible brief book reviews.

Have a happy April!
