I think I am still jet lagged since I am up at around 5.30am I force my bed to stay in bed since at this hotel there are no study lights. I had intended to finish reading my novel but I couldn't since I did not want to wake up my roommate-Willy. He is really talented in lots of areas from dancing, singing, playing piano and also basketball. He is also a member of the PiKe fraternity, which is one of the popular fraternities in school. He is normally very keen to ...

We then proceeded to have dinner in KFC, which was a great bonding session. The day was however made th...

We went to the school for children suffering from various disabilities where we met our patients. Each group had 5 cases and each case had 2 case managers. My partner was Natalie a second year student from Hong Kong Polytechnic. I found her adorable and very passionate about helping other people especially when it came to communicating to the rest what was happening since most of the conversations were done in Cantonese. We made a model for the AFO of our patie...
