香港科大故事

追随香港科大脚步
我是内地的一名高二学生,比较了解科大开始于高一时的春节。Rocky是我哥的朋友,他小学时就加入香港户籍,那年他回内地探亲。我被他的气质吸引了,这也难怪,我们好久没见面了。哥哥告诉我,Rocky进了科大商学院,而科大是香港数一数二的顶尖学府,在裏面的都是像Rocky一样聪明的学生。好,我记住了「香港科技大学」这个颇新的名词。高一一年我们都是懵懂又不乏充实地度过,来到了升高二的交叉点,按内地的机制,我要选文科还是理科?选理科,我几乎毫不犹豫,家人和朋友都有点惊讶,我的文科成绩在级内能轻松排在前二十,但理科却在七十以后。这时,我发觉脑裏浮现的是香港科技大学,原来它一直根植在我深深的梦中。我也想学科学,我也想让生活充满科学的色彩……之后,每个礼拜回家,我都会上网查查科大的东东,知道了她坐落在清水湾(下次去香港我也要经过那里),缩写是UST(我喜欢打头的「U」字),叶玉茹教授在生物方面的成就,还有,2011年科大已经爬上了亚洲第一的位置了……现在,我已经是将要升高三的学生了,理科的成绩还纠结在校内四十名左右的位置,有时我妈会埋怨:「早知以前报文科就好了,理科你不够别人抢啊!」但我无后悔,别人说我学不好理科,我偏要试,将来我也要穿上白袍装,找关于科学的工作。

Science Student Association (SSA), time to resurrect it.
During my undergraduate study in HKUST, I joined the Science Student Association (SSA) as academic secretary (2003-2004). It was one of the most unforgettable experiences in my 5 years time in HKUST. Unfortunately, SSA is no longer present and I am very sad to hear that. Here, I want to highlight some activities organized by SSA in my term. I truly believe that science school needs a school society to unite science students and also serve as a bridge to the other parts of the university. In August 2003, we organized an orientation camp (OCamp) (Photo 1). We aimed as providing information and tips to help new science students adapt university life. One of the big advantages of joining SSA OCamp was that, new students from different science departments could meet each other. After the semester had started, they continued to have gatherings regularly as we organized various social activities, such as BBQ and Poon Choi gathering. All participants enjoyed them very much.

Society & Origin. 上莊。思源。
Being the Executive Committee, it is not only an item that can be written on your resume. More importantly, it is about relationship. I am not sure if you have been the executive committee of particular society or not. I am not sure if you will and currently are part of certain society. If so, try to dig out different pieces from your mind. What are those? You can always find some relationship formed because of the society. I am not talking about the relationship with your boyfriend/girlfriend, (or that can be too if you have :p) but the relationship with other committee members, schoolmates and even with your society. Honestly, I have a lot of good friends in school because of my society, perhaps because of preferential selection in Chinese culture. To be more generalized, remember and love your origin. The origin here is not only the society, but HKUST. Last but not least, I want to show my love to the one I met here.

Sheldon's spot in HKUST
This seat on LG3 in the library is ideally located both in relation to the stairs for emergency and the power supply for routine. It also faces the sea at a direct angle allowing one to immerse oneself in study or thinking without being disturbed by human interaction. Besides, the tiny desk is not popular so that you don't need to reserve it. We all try to find our own positions here and there. No matter where you belong or where you are going, there is always a place in HKUST that we cherish. Options for reference: pavilion, bleachers, BBQ site...

Having a roommate for the first time
One of many concerns I had before coming to HKUST was about having a roommate. I had shared my room with my sisters before, so sharing wasn't a problem. It was only that I would share it with someone you don't know at all, yet. The school didn't tell us who our roommates would be, so I wondered what my roommate would be like, and hoped that we would get along. On my first and second day at school, during the orientation period, I didn't get to see my roommate. I think it was on the third day that I found a note on my desk, with these words written on it: 'Hi, I am Teresa, your roommate for the coming semester. But I wouldn't be here until tomorrow. Call me if you need anything at ********. See you~ Love, Teresa.'

Voluntary works in remote villages of china-Wu Zhi Qiao(WZQ) bridge building trip
"We can do no great things, only small things with great love"-Mother Teresa This is my second bridge building trip with Wu Zhi Qiao(WZQ) which aims at building a bridge as a life saver that improves Villagers’ living . Compared to last time, this is again another unforgettable experience. 11 days of hard work in Mixia village was definitely physically demanding. Every day starts with a 30-minute walk along a muddy road for the crew, and then we arrive at the bridge building site. Without a moment to spare, we start fixing our wired boxes and filling it with stones. Although I have to admit carrying heavy stones and steel bars can be quite tiring, I feel it is worth it as our hard work can provide a safe bridge crossing for the villages.

Two little stories in HKUST (2001 & 2011)
28 Aug 2001 | UG Yr1 | Under the media spotlight with Prof. Chu Awesome! I talked to my University Principal and I am on the NEWSPAPER! It all happened by coincidence. Yesterday, I had just finished my Ocamp and was on the way home. When I was passing by the Atrium, I noticed a large crowd of reporters. I decided to get closer to the crowd simply out of curiosity and noticed a group of reporters interviewing our principal Prof. Chu. Since that was the first time I had ever met Prof. Chu so I tried to squeeze into the crowd so I could hear what he was saying.

Something to remember
"There was this cute girl named...," as made fun by friends is generally the beginning line of all my stories, but let us be serious here for a second. To describe a semester at HKUST, I will have to use the four letter word that our moms do not let us say a lot, but I am not going to do that. I will, however, say that every moment of it is worth leaving the comfort of home, because for every memory that is made, good or bad, sweet or bitter, there also is a story worth sharing. And there was actually this cute girl in my COMP class who was a total five letter word our dads do not let us call a girl with.
