I’m turning 18 tomorrow and I feel like time has flown by so fast. My parents are throwing me a huge party, my dad’s idea, of course, and it’s nonnegotiable because he wants his business partners and rich friends to show up with gifts. If you’ve seen my previous posts, you already know my dad has a bit of a greedy streak, lol.

    It’s basically Gao Kao. Not as bad as it because we still have multiple paths to reach university. If one fails the HKDSE, they can take an associate degree program for 1 or 2 years and re-enroll into a major degree program. It’s not the end of the world. It just takes more time and money.

    Pizza is expensive in Hong Kong because it’s a foreign thing and my dad’s side doesn’t particularly like cheese so we rarely have it. It’s also generally considered unhealthy here.
