Firstly, before I forget...
I post much more on Xanga than I do here, but I realized that no one but LindsEy can see my Xanga because she opened a Xanga just so she could read mine and leave comments (this is what best friends do!!! heehee).. but anyway, you must log-in before you can see my xanga, so I created a xanga ID for you guys so that you can read mine whenever you want..

So a lot of my friends are back in HK now, and I've been partying a lot... I guess the partying I've been doing since I've come back has made up for all my NOT-PARTYING when i was in Kingston... I am having a lot of fun here, but I really miss you guys.. you know who you are. Lydia is also in HK now and we have met up a few times, watched X-men together.. and we introduced some of our high school friends to each other. For those of you that don't know, LindsEy is coming to visit me in August, and I'm very excited. My best friend from boarding school, Kayo, may also be coming to visit me in August. It would be cool if her and LindsEY were here at the same time because I think they would like each other very much.
It has hit me that I am not really not gonna be back at Queen's next year because I've been filling out forms and stuff for my new school... it feels so strange, I guess it may be my destiny though, to never stay in one place for long... I never thought I would come back to HK for grad school, I thought I would stay in North America for the next 5-10 years when I started university.
Most of my high-school friends from HK have graduated as well, and all have ridiculously good jobs... makes me very worried about my future. These days I've been much more careful with my money. In fact I've kind of made myself stop buying expensive clothes. It's very hard for me, you guys should know that. I am doing this because I've decided to stop blowing my parents money... when I make my own money, like from my part time job or full-time job in the future... then I can buy myself the world if I want. But from now on, I really need to try my best to save money. It's really very hard.. I have never worried about money in my life and it's even harder with ppl around me that say, why do u need to do this, ur parents have plenty of money so u shouldnt have to worry.. but they don't understand. I am not trying to save because I have to.. I am doing it because I want to... I havent even taken a cab more than 10 times since I've been back I think... and that's very good for me... it's so hard though, I want to travel around a lot but I want to do it with my own money, but yo that's kinda hard when I have no income...
I may be flying to Beijing for 5 days to do charity work at an orphanage from June 28th to July 2nd though.. the trip will cost me about $5000 HKD, which is approximately $800 Canadian, give or take a little... it's quite expensive... about $1000 HKD for a day, but I think it will be a good experience, so it's worth it... ~~~~ I really think that my commitment to community service has helped me a lot... if I wasn't reminded from time to time about how fortunate I am.. I might be a lot less thankful for what I have been blessed with in my life.. including family, friends, etc.
I have kind of set a goal... I will try my best to buy a Porsche for my Dad sometime within the next 10 years... it will be hard, but it will motivate me to save and work hard... my parents have given up so much for me, and before I satisfy my own needs I am determined to give them all the material things they might have wanted but never bought because they always put my needs and desires first~~~
