2 years passed

Summer break is here!!!

It has finally been two years in Hong Kong and I finally have finished year 1. Grades also came out as well but let's not talk about that. In the past few days, it has been a lot of good byes and just partying it up. We went to have Indian food last night at Sai Kung and that was amazing food as always. Today is my first day of Android workshop where my professor for Undergraduate Research asked me to attend. Hopefully, it won't be a waste of time.

"Also remember to turn on your brains," the professor said before we begin our 8 effing hour long workshop.

Sleepless nights

So it has come to this.

As I stare at the ceiling which seems so close to me, I laid on my bed unable to fall asleep.

Final exams are coming up so it is understandable for me to be on edge a little bit, but this was more. I was unhappy because I know that something was going to change. My new friends which I made this semester were not going to be there anymore. Especially one.

"Getting to know exchange students is not worth it," my friends always tell me, but I never listened. It was of course an idea that is understandable for someone to not make a relationship that does not last. We expect someone to always be there for us knowing full-heartedly that it was not possible. Exchange students were like that too. They had to stay close to each other due to our lack of hospitality and did not bother trying to reach out to other local students or full time internationals.

I did not give a shit and made friends anyways, and now I am being sad for it. But this is the good kind of sad because I know it is human to be sad. It feels like a heartbreak since I knew it could have been prevented but I chose to be ignorant.

Sure as hell was worth it though :) That's something I won't let anyone take away from me.

ApRiL 28th Part 2

Graffiti was packed. Full of young energetic people which is not something I can say for all the clubs at LKF. I rushed in almost leaving my roommate behind but he caught up as we got inside. We took a look around first as neither of us have been in here before. One of the waitresses tried to stop me as she wanted me to get a drink at the bar first, but she did not mind that much so we went in anyways. Both of us started dancing and like usual, we attracted quite some attention. As I looked around, I caught some people looking but I did not pay that much attention. One really drunk guy was groping this tiny girl really hard as she tried to get away so I jumped in then and blocked him out. He ended up kissing me on the cheek instead and turned around somewhere else. I was worried whether or not I ruined his night but he still seemed pretty friendly to me later on. I kept dancing and I kept dancing hard. It was just so much fun as people around me were getting excited and there was this girl who wanted to join in. She was however, being hit on really hard by this other creepy brown guy so I did not bother. Lights were flashing and I was unstoppable. I sent my roommate a signal that I want to leave because I wanted to hit as many clubs as possible that night. That night alone...we ended up going to 4 different places.

We went to Likuid and FLY for a short while and I started some crowd again but it did not seem that much fun so we went back into Graffiti at the end. The bouncer was telling us again to get a drink first but we DGAF'd. To our surprise, we found 2 really really young looking boys inside so my roommate pulled aside and pointed them out. I shouted against the sound of music, "They're probably 'TB's. Tomboys I think." They were again blocking the girl I met before so I gave her a look but did not follow through. Throughout the night, the reason I was having the most fun in any single club was that I did not give a single fuck. I ended up not following through to any look/touch/brush I got and just blew them all away. I would make a good boyfriend like that since I ignored all the girls. That however got me another kiss by another drunk guy who was seriously aiming for my face but with careful maneuver, I avoided it and ended up being an awkward bro hug in the  middle of the dance floor.

After losing my roommate temporarily, I went out and met with some UST students at 7-11 randomly. After being lectured about how Tsingtao is actually a German beer and not Chinese, I went to China Bar before my roommate replied to my last text asking where he was. Apparently, he never left Graffiti but I could not find him anywhere inside. This time though, the bouncer remembered my face as the guy who has not bought a drink so he did not let me in. I texted my roommate again to meet me at Likuid.

Not to my surprise, a lot of HKUST exchange students were at Likuid. I greeted them and danced with some. After all that dancing, I knew my body was going to hurt the next day but that was nothing of concern...yet. I went low and came up high as people were getting tired and getting old. Sitting in the back of Likuid for a while, I got to resting, until this blonde girl came and sat next to me.

"Hi, I'm Lysa," she introduced herself as a local-born Hong Kong girl with Irish background so I got to talking about the Irish dance workshop I organized through ISA only a week back, but I got interupted by another brunette girl who said, "What the fuck!"

Lysa explained herself that she was a bisexual and started kissing her girlfriend, so I told the girlfriend, "Please take her away from me." They walked back to their crowd and not long after, my roommate came and sat down with me. He had no clue what just happened and I had to explain to him the next day.

Though I like to remain energetic, I had to admit the reason I was sitting down was that I was tired. I went back to the dance floor around 5 minutes later and found a couple more people to dance with, but no one that I would dance all night with. Half an hour later, it was time to leave Likuid and go home. We stopped for some drinks at 7-11 and it started raining before we could get a taxi back. It was a long and eventful night indeed. That is why I enjoy going out.
