Hong Kong (Christmas Break)

Haha, this is my first time writing blogs on a Mac. Well, it’s because I just got a Macbook Pro Retina the day before yesterday. I’m on the plane to Shanghai from Shenzhen. My whole family stayed in Hong Kong for four nights. We did a lot of shopping and a little bit of hiking throughout these days. We got a Macbook for me, an automatic camera for our family during Soefae and my performances at school. We also got some accessories for the electronics Dad and I own. Another big part of this four-day-trip is that we went to visit Dad’s friend who used to live in Shanghai as well. Uncle Gao has two children with the similar age as me: Peter and Lucy. Lucy’s younger than her brother by two years, only in Grade 7. Her brother, Peter, is in Grade 9 like me, and he’s only a week older than me. They’re really cool people and really good students at the same time. They studied in Shanghai until last year summer (2013 August — today’s just the beginning of 2014). Anyways, they are now living in Hong Kong, studying there. They’re awesome and I used to really really enjoy spending time with them back in Shanghai. But now, as people grow older, they tend to get along more awkwardly, I don’t know why. Either way, Lucy is extremely smart too. She gets the best score in her grade. However, she knows nothing on programming. On the contrary, her brother, Peter is extremely pro at computer stuff. Everything related to electronics in his family is his job, apparently… He always gets… like the best score in his grade as well. He is already studying calculus by watching university lessons on his computer. Then, after my dad knowing this, he started to encourage me to start to watch the lessons on my new Mac, too. Well, I guess he’s right. I should start to work harder to plan for my university future and my career. I wasn’t frustrated at all. But I genuinely thought I need and definitely can do better. The problem with me isn’t that I’m dumb. That I’m sure of, because I learn super fast. There hasn’t been anything I tried but failed. However, the problem with me is that I’m lazy. I enjoy watching movies more than anything. Now, I’ll start to try really hard to quit my addiction and start to study, because MAN, I’m already in Grade 9 and time pass like an arrow, Grade 12 comes in one blink. I’m not a kid anymore, yet I’m losing my good habit of self-control and self-discipline which I had when I was back in China. I wanna build my good habit of working-before-playing back up. Okay, well I got my Macbook for school; now all I need to do is to use it properly and be better in school. :D
