University is one big learning experience. We can learn about academic subject of course, but university also teaches us a lot about life and provides unique opportunities that we would never get the chance to experience anywhere else. If I hadn’t have lived in halls I would not have had some of the best experiences of my life. Nothing beats being thrown in the deep end with other people that you’ve never met before and all having to learn how to live on your own, cook food and get on. AT 2007 , I graduated in UST BBA economics and finance department . During my year three , I lived in Hall three. It is amazing .I share the room with someone I don't know at all, yet, a year one student . He is clever and handsome, haha. We always play computer game , AOC, age of empire ^^. I think Hall Three is the best hall HAHAHAH

Friends, Romans and Countrymen, What do a bunch of extraordinarily intelligent engineering students do when they casually meet up after dinner? Think of the next coolest tech-toy which Apple would buy off us? Help solve the Euro crisis with a bunch of mindboggling mathematical formulae? Of course, not. What do extraordinarily intelligent engineering students actually do? They play Monopoly! Do you guys know Monopoly? If yes, read on. If not, please jump off the mushroom. Just kidding, Google it.

My love story with HKUST goes back a long way. Twenty years ago when she emerged on the hills of Clearwater Bay, I was working for the TV studios nearby. At that time, UST stands like a fairy rising from the sea, young and alluring. I fell in love with her instantly. Her biggest attraction, though, to a TV executive, who had left college for over 10 years, was the idyllic hillside bistro. Lunching at the charming little restaurant with a magnificent view had been both a treat and a solace. Twenty years ago, UST was virtually a haven amidst my hectic corporate fight. Very soon I left Clearwater Bay--and indeed Hong Kong--for London to see the world. Since them, I had traveled frequently and changed jobs incessantly, gaining a nickname, “Monkey of TV.”

I am student from HKUST MSc EE. Actually, I have completed all the courses now. I have got totally 4 degrees from different aspects like Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, Biomedical Engineering and Electronic Engineering. People around often ask me why do I study so many subjects? I have spent around 10 years in university. Why? It is because I do wanna to do somethings in my life. Spending out a lot of money and time. People around me just wonder what do you wanna to do? If I am targeted at money, I should not spending time on engineering degrees somethings like financial engineering. Since I am a part-time student, I have a full-time job. I often need to leave on time after work for attending courses and even working out projects and homework. UST is a good university having a lot of coursework.

My name is Dumbo and I just turned four years old. I have lived on campus since I was three months old. We moved here because my Daddy works here. You probably hear a lot of stories about student life and faculty life at HKUST. Well, let me know tell you how it is like to live at HKUST as a toddler. HKUST is my playground. I love to ride on the tricycle in the atrium with my ‘jie jie’ pushes me around. I especially like to do that on weekday morning because that’s when I see lots of cute looking “gor gor jie jie” come around and say “oh, you are so adorable”. I like the attention but I find it annoying sometimes. My favorite floors are LG5 and LG7 because that’s where I get ice cream from McDonalds and candies from ParkNShop. The couches outside the Coffee shop is my favorite breakfast spot because I get to jump around while having breakfast and my “jie jie” also loves it because she gets to use the public computer terminal to check her facebook.

What does this mean to you? First off.. it struck me that life is a continuum. You can’t pause life to think or take time off, it goes on. If we can’t be stuck in any point in time.. then life is a journey, and every event is ongoing, happening. One event finishes and the next one starts. The world  doesn’t stop for anybody. In A Thousand Splendid Suns, they say.. “Zindagi Migzara” – life goes on. If it is so, wouldn’t it be silly for us to worry about petty failures and waste the day? It would be wiser to accept life, enjoy it in the moment and look ahead to the future. After all if you are miserable now, and your ‘now’ will be your past the next second..you’re choosing to have a miserable past. Choose to be content now, grateful to God for everything. You can be successful at what you do..but don’t stop there. You could be a failure at what you do.. but don’t stop there.

I see you When the first time I came to you I see you Your peace, you beauty Haunted me I see you When a cleaner smiles When a little brother hugs his sister When the cloud turns pink When the sea starts beating the shore I tried to step closer You meant to hide I see you This time it is no longer what it was before The fall, the hall and the moan Through your coldness I felt anything but warm I see you With hair tousled by strong wind With tears held in your eyes What should I say I thought I told you I see you always stand by my side and I will strike for your right

An island on LG4 in the library. At least, that's what you'd like to think about this wooden table sitting in a corner facing the sea at 9 a.m. The floor is nearly empty, save for the presence of the cleaning staff, the low hum of the air conditioning, the occasional cough of another student poring over books and notes. And of course - your own books and notes inhabit this otherwise barren island. There they sit in a pile: keys to unlocking the mysteries of nature, of life, of human relations. A water bottle stands alone in a separate corner of the table (island), like a lighthouse peering out into the world. Two pens comprise the population: makers of voices, thoughts, decisions, knowledge.
