HKUST

thought i'd share with you some photos of my campus; these are taken from a photography contest:

The Sundial

this is the entrance to the campus, and every time i come back from outside of campus, i feel a sense of warmth and belonging when i walk past this area.

The Library

the first photo shows the lowest level of the library (of seven floors), which is also my favourite floor. i like the lowest floor because i feel that it is the most distant from the rest of the world (oh the entire campus builds itself downwards, so you get LowerGround floor 3 or something, instead of 3rd floor). when i'm with friends i would sit on one of those big tables in the first photo, but when i'm alone i might take a cubicle seat because i like the isolation - yes i'm a loner like that. the best seats are the ones shown in the photo, next to the window, which presents a breath-taking seaview. but those seats are usually all taken - by people who come here at 7:30am and camp at the library till it closes.

The Cafe



the hang out spot for the International peeps. of the numerous choices of places you can eat on campus, the internationals are stubborn, and tend to keep to their own kind, and would rather come here every single day. when the weather is nice and there's a light breeze, these seats are a perfect place for lunch and chat with your friends.





The Pier

my favourite place on campus after the library. had some heart-to-heart talks with different people here, drank beer with a group of guys on the beach, sang with a friend, sat on the ledge alone and thought about a lot of things.

The Buildings



despite the notorious and highly appropriate nickname of Hong Kong University of Stress and Tension, i'm in love with this place.
I'm comfortable with it's people, i'm getting used to its pace, and i'm more than glad that i'm here.
