You don't know how much I miss you! Tons of things are settled for now. Secondary school is done, English faculty is waiting for me. For the first time in two months, I finally can take some break and enjoy myself! So it has been two months after my AL exam, and I've been doing summer jobs right after it! Restaurant cashier, counting heads at the Airport and secretary/personal assistant in Zurich Insurance. What an experience! I'm sure I will tell you more when I am in the mood of it.
Well, I don't even know what kind of mood I'm in right now. Hahaha. Definitely happy, I can tell. Because I've just had a great day today. Woke up early to watch MIB 3D with my brother (brought our own bread and our favourite chips lol), which was cool. I know the movie is kind of old, but I never had time to watch it until today! Then we back home, he wanted to continue his online game mission while I had so many meaningful stuff to do! Donated clothes to the Salvation Army, returned some notes to my friend, donated my old uniform to my school, wrote a letter to my new pen pal and sent it, sent another package to Mr. Porcupine... Geeze! Haven't thought of him for so long. Guess I'm no longer living under his shadow now.
Oh! One more thing, my brother DID went to recycle the old newspaper with me. Hehe, good boy. I don't know if you call it recycle or sell it. I mean we had always been recycling paper. For the recent years, my family has been doing more, which is not just throwing them in the rubbish collection area on our floor, but to bring them to the recycling shop. Just by walking for 5 minutes, that recycling shop would give us some cash based on the weight of the paper. So, why not?!?! I remember a few years back then I did feel ashamed of doing it, a little bit. Now I think back, my parents really did the right thing. Though it's just tiny tiny bit of money, not even enough for us to have a buffet after doing it for few years, but it does teach us the importance of treasure what we have. Like you have to carry the really heavy newspaper, not just a few, but like 10 kg and you can only get few dollars. And on the other hand, we really did throw the money away with the newspaper years back then. What a waste! Now we recycle it and get the cash, it's a win-win situation!!!
I did talk about it with my friends, then I found many of them are doing the same thing. It feels good that everyone is doing some work for this planet, recycling and reusing. The little amount of cash is like the reward, telling us to keep going. My friend, try to do something like this on your own! You will feel good doing it. You don't have to plant a tree, I mean you can, but it's really hard to plant a tree in a city like Hong Kong. However, just by recycling your home's newspaper or the envelope or the paper packaging of some gift can already make a huge difference!!! Do It!
Umm... Feel like I still have loads to share, but now I should go to bed. I have to wake up early and go to book air ticket with my girls! We are going to Taiwan few weeks later. Pray that we can still get the tickets in this peak season... I have never ever traveled with my pals alone! Hope it works this time. And I'm planning on a Thailand trip with other girls in August, then another Thailand trip with my family... Hahaha, would it be too much in one summer??? Hehehehe, I'm so excited! But bare it in mind, I pay for the traveling fee of the two Girls' Trips!!! Yea, insane... Though they are short trips, but I think they will use up all my salaries from those summer jobs... Really have to find new ones right after my trips, but then the question is I don't know where... Why did I spend so much on makeup and buffet and karaoke and new clothes and magazines and books and...
ANYWAY~~~ Thank you once again for being my reader. I just had my 200th reader yesterday, and I think he/she is a Russian. Yay! Vodka! So many readers from around the world, places I've not thought of would read my blog! Yes, I know, they may be just passing by... Whatever, it makes me happy already! Haha.
Have a nice day my friend. Don't forget to drink all the soup your mama made your!
Love, S.
