Those were the songs I listen again and again in that cosy little dormitory room….

People banging into my room without knocking from time to time and I did the same but we didn’t seem to mind.

The microwave and microwavable containers were our main cooking utensils

All the fire drills at 4am and fire alarms due to a burnt bread stuck in the toaster.

Exeat weekends: hanging out in other people’s rooms in other houses and cooking and shopping and slacking

Totally out-of-tune mini musical bands: Playing pop songs the classical way…. (Piano, Violin x2, Cello, Flute, Vocal)

DDR tornaments in the common room

harry potter style trunks full of seaweed, EDO biscuits and instant noodles (which we sell to the gwai mui’s at an insanely high price)

Cooking Lap Mei Rice, then sharing it between 9 people squatting in a tiny little room… omg that’s like a refuge

Midnight birthday celebrations (The birthday girl always pretended not to expect that)… then blowing the candles out of the window in order not to trigger the fire alarm…

Very very very quiet bitching due to the extremely un-soundproof walls

Stolen grapes in the refrigerator

Signing in for 9 people at the dining room and getting caught

Sneeking into others’ rooms during Quiet times

And so much more

All these scenes of the good old days kept coming up my mind…. aw…. what a bittersweet feeling… High school life is just so much fun… kids, enjoy it while you can.
