and finally everything kicks in...
I'm coming into the last week of semester and I have never been so busy. So on a Saturday when all the arts students are out getting drunk I'm procrastinating here on my blog...
Firstly some pictures of the pandas from Ocean Park to keep Mum happy...
Cute huh,
well you didn't see the hordes of people crowded in the room all trying to get that perfect picture. They must get sick of it...but I think they're similar to koalas, all they do is eat and sleep...not a bad life really!
Anyway back to the work at hand. So far before I finish this semester I have 1 presentation (in chinese), 2 essays and 4 exams. But the last one is on the 30th so I have plenty of time. I was thinking about going to the Philippines next week but I'm still tossing up whether to go or not...it will be fun but I don't really want to spend the money. I might stay closer to home and 'rediscover 'Hong Kong again. There is a lot I haven't done yet and it would be nice to be an tourist again.
Anyway I have just finished my Chinese speech so just to show how clever I am i'll post it here.
你好。
我姓Schultz, 叫Matthew Schultz.我的中文名字叫马修。我是澳大利亚人。八月我到香港来。现在，我是香港大学的学生。我的专业是经济和人类学。我很喜欢外国旅行。上个月，我到马来西亚，中国和日本去。旅行很好。我也喜欢香港大学，但是我的宿舍不太好。
我们家有五口人。我有爸爸，妈妈，有一个双胞胎的弟弟，还有一个弟弟和我。我爸爸是律师。我妈妈是护士。我双胞胎的弟弟也是学生。他学工程专业。认识你们我很高兴。
谢谢。
As you can probably tell its just a self introduction speech but I'm pretty impressed by how much I remembered after just a few weeks. I think its mostly right but I'll get my neighbour to check it tomorrow when he gets back.
Just to show how REALLY CLEVER I am here's the same speech in Japanese.
はじめまして、マーシュ・シュルツと申します。どうぞよろしく。わたしはオーストラリア人です。八月に香港に住んで来ました。今、香港大学で勉強しています。私は経済と文化の学生です。旅行するのが好きです。先月にマレーシアと中国と日本に行きました。とても楽しかったです。また、私は香港大学が好きですが大学の寄宿舎が好きじゃないです。
私の家族は五人です。お父さんとお母さんと二人の弟と私です。一人の弟は私の双子です。お父さんは弁護士でお母さんは看護婦です。双子は大学生です。彼は工学を勉強しています。
どうぞ、よろしくお願いします。
If only I was truly trilingual....anyway I won't be putting up the english. Go find a Chinese or Japanese person!
Now that is out of the way, I'll stop procrastinating and do some proper work. I'm currently writing a paper on how the IMF screwed over the third world...so boring....
Anyway, take care!
Cheers,
Matt.
