many thanks to peiyun.. darryl.. wenwei n clayton for dropping me comments on my blog.. it’s so sweet of you.. really appreciate them..=)

anywayz there isn’t much to update since the last time.. everything is more or less the same throughout.. sch is az ‘exciting’ az ever.. people r still az nice.. generally yeah..  nothing much..

the only more fun stuffs i have been doing are weekends travelling!! that’s totally awesome!! so glad to have flatmates who love to travel!! budget traveling too!!

annie and i went to himatangi beach on 19mar.. since we can get a free ride down.. why not? and have an enjoyable 2hours there.. forget the beaches in nz.. nothing beats the artifically fake sentosa beaches.. or maldives and mauritius.. haha.. nz beaches are so ubin beaches like.. nothing impressive.. you can tell by the pixs..

we are going to tour the south island on our easter (study) break.. intending to leave palmy on 14apr (good friday).. to wellington and spend a day there before flying down to christchuch on 15apr evening.. we will spend about 5days exploring the famously beautiful christchurch before heading down to queenstown.. hopefully we get to bypass mount cook along the way so can snap some awesome pixs of the highest mountain in new zealand.. then we will be coming back on 26apr and rush our assignments and projects and tests for the next 5daes.. and ya.. study too!! haha~~

then we are planning to backpack to australia in my 3-week break in june.. intending to leave palmy to auckland on 24 or 25jun.. flying to sydney on 26jun.. and travel along the lower east coast of australia for about 2 1/2weeks until 12jul.. no choice but gotta come back coz my 2nd sem starting on 17jul.. need to settle my papers and things lidat.. unless i can get it done earlier.. then can stay 2extra days to tour auckland with my flatmates.. coz they are going home to new york and canada.. probably never meeting again in the rest of our lives.. aawww..

just spent the last 2 weekends traveling around some major places in northland.. went to new plymouth (pronouce as pleemyth) last weekend.. had an awesome time there.. doing all tourisy things like visit parks n zoos n museums.. eat gd food n stuffs lidat.. then the week b4 went napier.. oso do the tourisy stuffs.. since we go on such budget tours.. the total expenses is abt 200+bucks per trip.. so it’s not too bad after all..

do inform mi if u r coming by to new zealand.. i m staying in student city palmerston north.. or more fondly known as palmy.. haha.. life is simple here.. very town-like.. slow pace.. u get the point..

meanwhile have a great time!! enjoy and stay in touch!!

*blink* i am here in new zealand for like 22days!! and it felt like 2years!! coz life here is so awesome!! totally love palmerston north!! you have to come here and feel it yourself!!

i don’t supposed anyone is so free to read my blog.. but just in case if you are my friend and reading this for my updates.. all i can say is that i am doing fine here!! sweet!! (= singapore ok lah!!)

been here for such a short time.. get to experience the awesome peaceful and simple town life.. palmy is like 1/4 size of singapore.. but have only 70000people.. it’s so nice not see an overcrowded town sometimes..

the wind here is blastingly ghastly.. i can be blown away literally!! coz it’ just sooo strong!! palmy is bad.. wellington is worse!! i am wearing my massey sweatshirt like 7days a week.. under the bright scorching sun!! coz the wind is sooo cooold!! sweatshirt is like everywhere.. and so comfy to wear.. no 1 in singapore wears it anyway!!

skipped a lecture last friday on maths to go wellington with my flatmates.. it’s awesome!! visited the world famous te papa museum!! it’s gorgeous!! all the singapore museums can’t beat just one of that!! it’s really nice and so much hands-on stuffs.. singapore discovery centre must buck up manz!! haha!!

went to 1 of the windfarms 2 saturdays ago.. the wind there is really strong!! *duh* the view is fanta-bulous!! but the ride up and down is pretty nauseating though.. it was worth it nevertheless.. reminded me of that hongkong drama show ‘windy valley in los angeles’.. romantic sia!! but i went with my flatmates too.. so yeah.. it was cool~

the school kinda reminded me of hogwarts.. (i know i live in fantasy land.. yeah!) it’s so ulu and up in the mountains.. there are more trees than buildings.. coz these trees are blocking all the buildings and signboards and whatever remotely looking little pathways!! it’s just sooo green!! my room overlook some valley or something.. yet to explore though.. great green view..

buses here are free for all massey students!! it’s brilliant!! can go town without paying a single cent.. but the buses here are so un-frequent.. there’s only 1bus to town every hour on weekends.. that’s terrible.. and the bus stops are kilometres away!! 3blocks away = singapore 3streets away.. it’s that far!!

food here are awesome!! so terrifically meaty!! there’s meat meat and more meat!! the broccoli here are big and fresh and pretty too costing a dollar or so!! been keeping at least a stalk of broccoli in fridge at all times.. but most importantly.. there is the humongous nutella here!! it tastes exactly the same with singapore’s nutella!! it looks the same too!! it last for about 1+week only.. cost only 6.99nzd.. same price too!! oooh nutellaaa~~

my fave surf brands like roxy and ripcurl are here too!! won’t be deprived of them at least!! but billabong seems to rule here!! and they got a great variety of billabong stuffs here.. and they are pretty nice too!! most of the surf brands here look great and about the same price with singapore too..

it’s autumn now and i am feeling so cold.. temp was 13degrees or something last heard a few days ago on radio in the day time.. probably it gonna snow this year.. coz it’s the coldest autumn ever!! need to buy a portable heater in my room soon.. the layers of singapore clothes aren’t keeping me warm enough!! haha!!

last but not least i wanna talk about the 3most wonderful flatmate i have!! you can see them from some of our travelling pictures.. there’s michelle wong mulan (yes.. her chinese name is really mulan!!).. she’s a canadian chinese.. an awesome backpacker.. learning loads from her.. she’s so fun and spontaneous and crazy.. then there’s annie chih.. she’s an american born taiwanese.. love her cute teeth.. she’s loud and mad and funky too!! then there’s haala.. she’s from dubai who migrated to nz 2years ago.. slightly more shy and reserved but really nice.. but she don’t really like chocolate except nutella!! yes!! each of us own 1bottle of the humongous nutella!! yay manz!! we are growing fat together!! and we all sign up with the gym too!! aawww.. there’s so much to talk about my 3awesome flatmates and all the funny things that happen in the last 22days.. but i don’t wanna bore you with it.. so yeah.. they are great..

kairanga court is quite awesome too.. lots of international students here.. great culture mix.. interesting people with interesting accent whom i have interesting conversation with.. well.. the courts are made of brick walls with metal gate.. feel abit like prison.. but our flat is so cozy that we don’t really mind!! the great flatmates made up for it!!

alright.. it’s nearly 12midnight and i really must attempt to study!! update again soon!! keep in touch and drop me some comments!! thanks and cheers!!
