Erica's 21st Birthday at The Socialhouse

Right before the hardcore final rush, I had the guts to spend one whole evening out to celebrate Erica's 21st birthday at The Socialhouse in Tai Hang!

I know a lot of people would think I'm crazy because I always decide to take a break from work in order to go to special events, but I truly do think that in the end, my friends and family and social life are very important to me. And it's all about balance! I don't mean that I'll choose going clubbing/similar right before my final, because that would be downright irresponsible, but any day could be our last and in my opinion, it's so important to cherish the people around you. During my finals in semester one, I remember asking myself: if I died today, would I have died doing what I love?

I hadn't seen Erica since summer 2013 and Tiffany or Melissa since graduation! That's like three years! So it was nice to finally catch up! :)




















We walked around Tai Hang finding places to take our polaroid photos and my my, Tai Hang has changed so much! I remember how empty it used to be back in high school when I used to go there all the time when I went to Tiffany's place (she lives right above Tai Hang). It's so developed with eateries and different now! In a good way though, I guess?

Post-Review Picnic Day


Note: Lots of pictures and two VIDEOS!

Post third-quarter review with three weeks to our internal final, we decided to go for a picnic in the West Kowloon Waterfront Promenade! The weather was finally getting hot again and the sun was out and it wasn't raining as much! So what better than a nice, outdoor meal?

We stopped by ThreeSixty in Elements beforehand to get groceries and walked a long, long way out to the tiny patch of grass. The West Kowloon place is still under construction so actually, I wouldn't recommend anyone to go there... Idk why so many people choose to go there for picnics and stuff when there are much nicer places on Hong Kong Island? The journey out is basically walking in between all the construction and breathing in pollution/fumes. Horrible. And it was like, a half-hour walk as well!

Pictures are from a mixture of Clar's camera, my camera, and all of our phones. And the videos at the end are from Clar's camera and Maisie's camcorder! Hope that explains all the colour/tone/contrast/saturation differences even though I tried to make them sort of coherent by using the same photo filter.




































































































And here are the videos from the day! The girls and their obsession with video-taking which I guess I sort of get but not really... well I'm not complaining haha! Have fun!



Clar's video!



Maisie's video!
