Hea.

The word in the subject – hea – is how people in Hong Kong describes the state of doing nothing and lazing around, basically being unproductive to mankind. Despite being spelt “hea”, it’s actually pronounced as “hae”. I used to wonder why it was pronounced that way, until one fine day when I hear my students talk about the head, which in Hong Kong is often pronounced in a similar way as the word “hat” without the “t” sound. So that’s how the pronunciation of “hae” come about.

Nonetheless what I’m trying to say is that for the past couple of days I’ve been hea-ing quite a bit at work. I’ve already completed the preparation of all my classes, and now I just have one and a half lecture to deliver to my HD kids, and a couple of presentations to sit through for my FD kids. The project that was originally scheduled for me to do was kinda shelved, and the next one won’t come along that early. So I’m in a fairly free mode. That said, I think in the next couple of weeks I might see my workload increase a bit, especially when I have to start preparing for the supplementary examination papers soon.

Would be going to the Chai Wan campus tomorrow for a talk. Hope that would be interesting.
