TO EVERYONE WHO HAVE BROADBAND, OR EVEN DIAL UP INTERNET CONNECTIONS: you ppl better be eternally thankful man!! Considering that I'm paying for every page that I refresh! ANd guess what I had to do?! On IE, I went to Tools, Internet Options, and set my page so that it wont display any pics so that I pay less! aihz...so sad...cant even have the luxury of just transferring files and songs etc etc!!! this is soo terrible k! And lets just forget about webcams and microphones. Just makes me so sad!aihz..
ok, on a much lighter note!
Reen:
meant this to be as a comment on your blog, but I figured to do all all commentings on my own update. yes, to save $$!! Your dream is soooooo lawak man! YOu sure got me laughing my head off! my roommate was lreading it as well..ahahha...really so lawak le. esp the part about you not having a ticket back to Msia. Still laughing now.
Anyways, it was so sweet of you to remember me in your dreams!! ahahah...then maybe I should dream that you visited me, and then we went to NY together! that would be wayy funner. And of course with a returnn ticket to NZ.
ANyways, about you and Jason, I hope all things are better now. ANd I definitely agree with you that guys do have PMS, and if Im not mistaken, Dan did agree with me about that as well. haha.. and yeah, the thing abt God..mayb you'll find it really helpful if you two can talk over whatever that's making u feel what u feel. Than go on assuming something that probably isnt even there in the first place, and lettng your conflict grow in your mind. Take care yer, and rmb God is the centre of your relationship. If it works, it's bcos of Him.
Hmm....I was mentally making a list of things that I shd be updating here, but Im blank now.
Umm...did I talk about food in NZ?
ok..Food:
i've never eaten so much beef in my life! But it's good bcos I like it. THo it's not that good for my health and my cholesterol level. But who cares about my cholesterol level. Afterall, I do walk uphill towards uni at least twice a day! And ohya I've been having soo much sweetened stuff here man! Like just now, for tea (that's they call dinner here), after my beefy meal, I just couldnt resist a cup of hot chocolate, with added chocolate powder! hmm..totally yummy, but i felt so sick after that cos it was way to sweet! You see, we have a coffee-expresso-latte-cuppuchino-hotchoc making machine in the dining hall here. So, if my will power is not strong enough, I might end up having hot choco for breakie lunch and tea!! and we also get to choose between dessert and a fruit (kiwi fruit/apple/banana).The heathier choice would of course be a fruit! But then, how could anyone resist a piece of choco ckae with choco sauce all over it??!! hmm..and since I got here, I think I got influenced by Jasmine's sweet tooth! arggh...everyo other day, I have smth totally sweet and not to mention SINFUL! =) Hmm..I guess that's why there's a Botanical Gardens just behind Weir House. FOr me to go for jogs. But then again, I hate jogging on hills! there's not a place in Wellington that's not on a slope!, well, besides town and Kelburn Park. ANyways, I have this kiwi fren, Keryn who's very into jogging. So, maybe I should join her more oftn.
Yeah, talking about jogging, we had cultural and sports clubs sign up the past 2 days. Well, the cultural clubs did not catch my attention at all! More than half of them are political clubs, socialist, marxist, governmentalist, blah and blah. Politics is soo not my thing. ANd Jasmine, Keryn and Michelle (this american fren) talks politics quite often. i just shut off. haha..But anyways, I did join Gecko Club. No, it's not a club where ppl learn how to rear geckos! ahahha..that was the impression I got at first. It's just an environmental club, which supports recycling and all the oth enviromental, mother nature stuff. WEll, I didnt have to pay for anything, and it did not require much commitment, so I went for it! And ohya, there was this Malaysian-NZ club, but I did not bother joining, cos practically all the ppl there are malays! Ok, im trying hard not to be racist oro what, but I guess I just didnt miss the Malay-ish lifestyle. They have pretty fun stuff going on such as Cultural, badminton, basketball and some oth sports, but I just didnt feel good about it. Sports caught more of my attention today though. I signed up for volleyball, and I think I signed up for squash, and I'm planning to sign up for Tramping Club with Keryn. It should be really fun. And btw, for those who didnt knw, tramping is hiking and the jungle-ish stuff! =) Apparently they go tramping every weekend, and we need really good gears cos it gets really cold. ANd at the end of it, we're having a 10-day trip to the South Island! Snow. Yays!! well, i doubt if I even have the stamina, but oh well, I'll give it a shot. Afterall, it's a once-in-a-lifetime kind of thing.
i spent about $350 on my textbooks! But they're for the whole year, so I guess it's not too bad. COnsidering that i have some frens who were not bothered to line up to buy 2nd hand books, he spent like $600 just for this trimester!and OMG, the textbooks are soooo huge m and thick, and well...H-U-G-E! I 2 huge textbooks for this semester, and I have no idea how Im gonna study from them. Most of them are 2nd hands, except for one. Luv my brand new super thick text book of Biochemistry. (ping, do u probably have the same textbook rite? it's Voet and Voet)
Hmm..calling to US 2 cents cheaper than calling back home. I called ap the oth day, and talked for almost an hour, and that cost me abt $6 i think. Hmm..so maybe I'll be calling her more often than mum or Dan. Ok,maybe not Dan lah..eheheh..sorie dan..=)
Ok, my mind is rather random. Bear with me.
I just vacuumed my room just now. Jasmine is nto really the kind who does house work cos she's pretty well off. SO yeah, I didnt really mind doing it, well at least for now cos I have to make myself seem like Im exercising, just so that I feel better. Haha..that's called justifying for your own conscience sake!
Anth random thought just popped up: is anyone's bday in Feb-March? or anytime soon? Hmm..lemme see..SU ann..that's all right? I knw deb's bday is over. 22 Feb. See, I remembered.
Hmm..what else. Ohya, Church. I've went for 3 services on sundays so far. City Church, for their morning and evening services, and elim church. Well, I didnt really like CIty Church's evening service cos it's like a youth church, and jsut didnt like the atmosphere. Well, i guess to me, if it's a sunday service, im more comfortable to be in a Family church. but I cant really decide yet. WEll, probably after ICF starts tomorrw, I will meet more Christian friends, and we can go to church togthr. Well, I havnt got many Christian friends here. there are a few in AB hse, but im not really close to them. And yeah, agian, not all kiwis are that friendly. Well, I think it;s the same to all races of ppl. I miss goign to youth, and being soo involved in youth and church stuff. Just miss that environment and lifestyle. I know I know, that the activities shouldnt be the thing that determines my faith. I just miss the Christian friends around me. And in Uni, it's soo different, esp here, it's soo huge, and everybody goes for different classes. So, you just gets into the huge lecture theatre and sit with any random person. SO, you dont really have close aquaintances frm lectures. It shd get better when lectures and labs start. Hmm..I miss college life! I miss INTI! Li ting, Su lin, Shar, Varsha, Tan, Jo..etc... esp Liting and sulin, cos we used to do everything together! I was just talking to ting and su the other day, and ting was saying that she missed college life so much as well. Aihzz...the times when we study in the library at the carrems (is that how u spell them?) when we go for pan mee. Or when we "hang out" in the toilet, being vain-pots in front of a long stretch of mirror! Really miss those times. Miss liting's driving that is actualy capable of killing me. Though I dont really miss those times when she has pms. *smiles* Or maybe I do miss it. hmm..anways, Janice, lets look ahead!
Ohya, did I mention here that someboday died in the library on orientation week, which was last week???!! Apparently some 30-smth year old guy fell down the stairs frm the 8th floor and died on the spot. I had a friend of a friend who said she saw limbs everywhere, and Esther was saying that she was in the library at that time, and the paramedics jsut came in with a bag, not even a stretcher! creepy! and there was this day when i was wondering in the library looking for some book, and I made sure that I used the lift! And I had to got to 8th floor! But then, the lift opens up, and faces a staircase!! I was just praying for the fear to go away. Wlel, you jsut cant help thinking abt it.
Ok, anything else? ohya, apparently, last year, at Victoria (my uni name ler!! =]) kelburn campus (my campus), 15 ppl died of meningitis!! So, I think I better get my meningicocal shot man! And apparently there's Meningitis A & B. And the 2nd one is way worse thant the 1st one. Mental note: go to the health centre tomorrow.
Umm..whatelse? Dan's all good. Surviving. We still talk everyday. For a short time. And he was soo cute this morning!! Well, SOmetimes, he calls me at 730am, to wake me up. Which means it's like 230 am over there. He sets HIS alarm clock to wake himnself up, so that he can be MY alarm clock. heehhe..yeah, i know, im spoilt. =) An International Alarm CLock. ANyways, he was pretty blur this morning, and he gave me a surprise call. i jumped when I heard the phone ring, and checked the time, it was 630 am!!! and he talked to me, only to realise later that it was an hour early. ahahha..so cute man.. but I talked to him anyway, and went back to sleep for anth hour. Dan, you're probably reading this. *smiles*
ok, i better get going. gotta gop read up some stuff before I knock off. cya ppl..
