Well.. nothing much happened so far.. just tat school has started and it sucks.. damn sien larh need to wake up early and go lectures again... then there's this new subject i took, stats... super technical! dont understand the first lecture.. sad sad... then there's a clash between a lecture and lab.. teruk huh? going to get really busy... haiz...
Went to look at other ppl's pictures.. and boy did i have a shock.. everyone just looked sooooo different!!! everyone's hairstyle in aus was like returning to the 80's. Sree looked soooo different that at first i didnt know it was him! haha.. so fun looking at all the pics.. haha.. brings back memories.. haiz..
anyhow.. that's all larh.. nothing much lorh... haha.. byebye

Trip Up North

yoyo.. how are u all?? i've been up north for the first part of my winter break and it has been awesome! The scenery here just takes the breathe away from me.. *Thumbs up* Dunno how many times i exclaimed.. "wah... so beautiful lah!!!" haha.. there's alot to blog about.. but i'll only pick afew nice pics and tell the story short..

Hmmm... The first day, we drove like 4 hours straight to shannel's house, one of my kiwi frens. her place is further north of auckland and i cant seem to remember the name!!! haiz.. We reached there at night so nothing much to do.. one thing to highlight though is my fren's place is quite ulu.. even hot water supply is not unlimited... imagine kena catu air.. like can shower only max 5 minutes for each person or else shower ice cold water.. during winter somemore!!! i think maybe there's ten of us.. so the water heater cant work fast enough.. haha.. we just rested and slept...

One thing i noticed after spending a week up north is its sooo damn cold at night.. wonder how ppl in the south survive.. haha...

The next day, we went to do some hill climbing.. i attempted two hills but can only reach the top of one.. the other one was just tooo damn challenging.. it even has a notice saying... "for experienced hikers only" how the heck am i suppose to climb that sort of hill?? here's some pics to justify myself...

The first hill that we climbed... looks ok eh??

this is the view from top...

This is the second hill... i definitely cant climb that rock.. tried and failed miserably...

Then at night we went to see the glow worms in some cave nearby.. Its nothing special really.. i dont understand why tourist will pay to see these worms.. they're just stagnant, glowing bugs.. couldnt take any pic though coz it was pitch black... anyhow.. we took one super cool photo...cool eh? can be a poster for a thriller movie. hahaha...

Next we went to dawn's place.. its another fren that i knew in NZ but she is a formal malaysian.. her house i tell u even more ulu.. no line at all!! the water also need to pay bill.. first time hear such things in NZ.. usually no need pay de.. and wad's more, got curfew somemore.. after 10 cant shower.. thanks to some ingenious designer who put the doors to the bath room inside bedrooms where we need to kacau ppl's sleep just to get to the loo.. sad case... there's a few interesting things that happened though.. for instance...

the dumb blonde a.k.a Hui ling thought this is a cow!! we definitely had a good laugh out of that.

Speaking of dumb blondes.. we had nicknames on this trip... hui ling is the dumb blonde.. (proven above.. and sometimes she's just soo blur.. haha)

christine was the not-so-dumb-but-still-dumb blonde.

This is how she ordered McD drive thru.. we're suppose to order from the car... drive thru marh... see my point?

yi chiann is more versatile.. can be called a duck (no idea why..), hollow brain (said to lean on someone's shoulder to sleep but the head is like weightless) and sleeping "beauty" ( more like sleeping monster... reason is that she sleeps alot.. haha). No offence ya...

YC's long lost twin.. haha...

Me myself was named cinder-macho (instead of cinderella as i had to return back to the area where i sleep by ten due to curfew, 10PM).

At dawn's place, we travelled up north somemore and reached the northmost tip of new zealand!! the place is called cape reinga and the view was just splendid!! every pic i took was like postcard quality.. too bad my cam is low on battery due to some camwhores *hint hint* haha.. i chose this pic as i liked it the most...

oh yeah.. i had the best fish and chip in my life as well for lunch that day.. i liked the fish alot... its super juicy and there's no fishy taste at all.. amazing.. however.. its quite expensive lorh.. haiz.. the fish was priced according to the weight..

The day when i was suppose to depart for auckland, dawn's mum and step father told me that the house where i stayed for two nights in is haunted! that explained the footsteps that i heard during the night when i was asleep... super damn creepy!!

After the trip to dawn's, i went down to auckland... Met up with Chao Tung and Sarah.. Roger wasnt there as he went to south island for the Malaysian games.. haha.. We all said that Chao Tung grew in height! haha.. but i notice ppl in auckland all dressed up like artic explorers... In fact, auckland is the warmest location i've been to in NZ! haha.. super weird larh..

Chao Tung, Michael (CT's new best fren, number one student in NZ eh.. dont play play), and me...

I got back on the 30th of june and have been facing the com most of the time since.. and now only i found the mood to blog.. haha..

Its been fun travelling the northern region of auckland.. Although the driving was like crazy (230 bucks spend on fuel for the whole trip!!), i still enjoyed it alot.. i wanna thank all the host (dawn and shannel) that have let us stayed at their place.. saved alot of money lor.. You ppl have been awesome!! i wanna say thanks to ashley as well for using her car and bring us here and there and everywhere! haha.. Ashley's leaving to Singapore the next day.. kinda sad coz she had been an awesome fren.. Hope we do keep in touch thru MSN and hope to see ya in Singapore or Mas by the end of the year.. till then.. take care!!

After that, they played monopoly with credit cards and no more paper money needed.. damn cool.. haha... after monopoly we played mafia.. remember the game where we kinda "sleep" and mafias have to kill ppl? haha.. had great fun in that game.. and i learnt that laughing too loud is a crime also.. haha...



Yesterday i went to play badminton and basketball.. at first was playing basketball but later i joined the others to play badminton.. haha.. makes me think of the old days when i would play badminton with my gang of frens back in kuching... Really miss those days larh!

Thanks alot everyone!

good ppl = poor ppl

Today, i saw something that went against my good nature... at the dining hall, there were two guys that queued in front of me. when they were taking food, one of them purposely dropped his dinner swipe card and the other one just kicked it under the counter. then he asked the girl at the counter to pick it up for them... while the girl stooped to take the card, one of the guys swiped two more sausages from the counter without her noticing.. that is like soo mean.. its just like they're picking on her or something.. I guess she's a nice person and a new server, that's why they dared to pick on her.. haiz.. i wished they would have picked on the other server who's like a bitch.. haiz.. well.. the good ppl are the ones who always kena pick on.. i know that situation just too well.. sad case...

Well.. it's almost the end of study week ady... i cant seem to focus on my studying unless i'm in the library.. sien sien sien... how arh... hopefully the next two days i can start to cram notes and stuff into my brain if it is not saturated ady... haiz... i really do hope everything ends faster.... haiz.... sien sien sien....

Study week started yesterday.. but i didnt do much studying.. crap... feeling as sien as usual.. when i think of studying, everything else seems much more interesting... how arh... haiz..

We raced our boat yesterday.. pretty disappointing though coz both my group's boats didnt even cross the finish line although both were given two races each... the stupid steering system screwed up totally.. haiz... one month of hard work and see wad happened.... adui.. there were some funny scenes though.. for example one of the boat capsized but it can still be steered around! soo funny.. we spurred the team to finish the race with the boat capsized but they didnt do so.. haha.. here are some pictures...

The design of one of our group's boats.



Some photo of the surroundings..


The starting of a race..

The day before the race we had a dinner also.. its a hall event and its called mid winter christmas dinner.. its kinda weird to have christmas dinner in May i know but wad to do... haha.. i had the best tasting ham i've ever had during this dinner.. the other food were just normal lorh.. here's some pic

We're suppose to bring a 2-dollar-minimum gift for the gift exchange during the dinner.. and this is wad one of my fren gave.. a two dollar coin in a ring box.. smart eh? haha...

Hey ya all! here more updates on my life in NZ...

Last sunday we jpa scholars went to eat with Mr abdullah(jpa officer) at nando's. Quite nice the food.. haha.. its good also that he belanja us makan.. keke.. there were 10 of us including 2 seniors. here are some photos...

The leftover bones on the left is christine's while the bones on the right is mine.. wahseh.. she eat sooo much.. first time see arh.. haha scary man considering our size difference...

This is the pic of everyone showing their "Malaysia Boleh!" spirit.. quite embarassing.. haha..

after the dinner, i went to have a drink with some WUMA (waikato university malaysian association) people. Had lots of fun though... with our senior getting crazy on sugar rush.. thats abit scary considering she's a serious person when i see her in college hall...

i ordered this drink.. looks nice huh the design?

Here's another beautiful drink...

Makes me wonder are they selling art or drinks??

Then today is the first time i saw frost on the field.. it was damn cold man.. reached the negatives(-0.3 degree celcius) for the first time since i'm here..

The pics arent that clear but u can see vaguely the frost on the grass.. its the white stuff in the shade..

Today i also dissected a cow's eye. it was quite fun though. i played with the jelly and lens of the eyes.. hehe.. nice..

dont u feel like the eye's looking at u accusingly shouting " what have i done to deserve this??!!" haha...

before... after.. (see the transparent ball there? thats the lens)

Last but not least, this is for Chao tung who asked me bout the flowers here.. here's a sample.. quite nice huh...
