Refreshed

The drama from last semester was quite a story to tell. For those who believe in the science of horoscopes, be it Chinese or Western, would have made "the rat year" a reason for the whole First-experience-in-Australia saga. For one, I believe in the science of horoscopes, i believe the effects can be countered with what one makes of one self. Family time and making new friends in Beijing and recapturing fall-out friendships in Hong Kong had put all things into perspectives, pretty much. Colby's having a blast in Beijing, and if anything, we now feel that Beijing is ultimately the best choice for him. He gets walked twice a day an hour each time and has made many friends. He's enjoying his own space in the balcony which gives him access to both my parents and my room and a killer view (22nd floor) over the well-known Chao Yang Park. Beijing is another thing I've grown to love over the break, aside from the new friends and a changed lifestyle. It is by far the one country rich in history which not only withholds some of the world's greatest architectures, but also a profundus and dynamic cultural lifestyle. I am so proud to call Beijing my home now, especially after the Olympics. One of the many views the curious outside world took hold of was probably through the effort and layers of hard work and patience displayed in the opening ceremony, I'd like to call that the mysterious truth of the forthcoming world leading country in the world. Anyway, words cannot truly express my new found passion and respect for China, so I shall cease and let those who have yet to experience, experience. On a smaller scale, home is also by far the homiest and coziest of them all. (And I could easily tell you the least is probably Sai Kung). I have also recently moved (recently as in 3 weeks ago), and have finally found a suitable place to settle in and call it home away from home. My life consists of Vet school (everyday), running/swimming (4-5 times a week), work (as I please), amazing people that I get the privilege to see everyday, and amazing weather, what more can one ask for.
