Superpass

There's some intriguing customs revolving around improving one's chances for good marks.
Apples are distributed on campus catering - apparently the words sound similar to passing.
Red packets are distributed at high table dinner. $1.30 sounds like greater than 3 (for GPA).

There was also lion dancing, where the lions made their way up on a 5m pole after some difficulty.
A guest speaker came for the high table dinner and spoke about some stuff in Cantonese. The students who were meant to be translating snickered instead of explaining a lot of the time. The warden and other hall leaders wrote some Superpass stuff on red sheets of paper.

In addition, we had a village/floor superpass dinner at Ruby Tuesday's. The prices were obscene: $150-300 for meals and $50 drinks. However they have 50% off for members - an interesting strategy since membership costs a few hundred dollars a year.

On the way back a green minibus was hired out. I can now report from my own experience that there is an intermittent beep between 80-90km/h and a solid beep over 90km/h.

Studying for exams is still a good risk reduction technique.
Plus it can be fun - I joined another student named Winfred in Prof Cheung's office. Prof Cheung kept deflecting Winfred's queries by saying he's not the one being quizzed on Friday. He also laughed a lot at some explanations and went about his normal business as best he could - he took a lot of phone calls while we were there. He's quite traditional in that he wants people to read the material as the first point-of-call (none of the interactive stuff). Also, he might equate not knowing something with wagging his lectures...
