it has been ages since i last add a blog entry.. it’s about time to add something inside.. especially since i am like turning 2.4 decades old.. omg omg.. this is like the 2nd pig year i remember in my life.. it’s like not too long ago we were 12 years old~!

right now i am staying in this small countryside town call cambridge in middle of new zealand north island.. nice and quiet and everything.. but no internet and lack of technology.. for a city bumpkin like me.. i still prefer a slightly more exciting city life.. lol~~

working in a nursery over summer.. totally laborious.. don’t think i will ever work in a nursery again.. body aching almost everyday after work.. haha.. very physically intensive.. and brain-less job.. not necessary to use much brain power daily.. getting rusty already..

it is summer over here.. day time can get quite hot sometimes.. the sun is the super scorching kind.. can feel the uv rays burning.. even with sunblock.. and then at night can get quite chilly.. sg temperature the best.. coz we got shelter and air-con everywhere.. unlike here..

put on freaking 10kg since i came here.. totally fat and obese now.. extremely overweight~! over here only eat and sleep.. not much things to do.. and high carbo diet.. all undergo fat synthesis.. plus the weather is cold.. so eat even more.. argh!!

can’t wait to go back to palmy again.. 1 more month to go.. at least there is daily internet access.. haha.. and lessons.. this year got the residential adviser job.. can’t wait for that.. and no need to cook my own food~! that’s the best.. cooking ain’t fun if it is a must-do..

on jan 1 at 12midnight.. i saw a shooting star!! the 1st time i ever saw 1.. in auckland.. it was so fast that i took awhile to register that it was indeed a shooting star.. hopefully my wish will come true.. but it wasn’t a very clear wish.. jeez..

in nz many places close for days from the christmas to new year.. so it’s like 12 days of all eat and sleep and no work!! so exciting.. haha.. other companies got like 15 days off work.. something sg company probably never will have.. other than sdc last last year.. that’s 2years ago!!

since over here is nice and boring.. thought of those old memories.. it’s like so much have happened and makes me feel so old just thinking about it.. almost a quarter of my life has passed.. so scary!! the mid-twenties crisis that every1 is talking about~~

not too long ago there was a sec 4 gathering in sg.. but too bad i can’t go.. and 16years old seems eons ago!! it was like 8 years ago when i last wore school uniform.. the thought that i can’t fit into my uniform again is horrible!! aaahhh..=O

been watching heaps of dramas lately.. china’s wu3 xia2 series.. korean and taiwanese and japanese dramas.. there are that much free time that i even watch the shows multiple times.. haha.. most importantly.. the shows must have happy endings~~ gotta love ‘em~!

people here don’t get birthday off work.. instead gotta bring food (and beers most of the time) for colleagues for morning tea.. their break here is known as "smoko" in the "smoko" room (we call pantry in sg) in which you can’t smoke during the break or in the room.. weird right?

had a work-do (aka work-party) for christmas in early dec.. the culture here is quite different.. but apparently the guys flock around the bbq pit.. apparently that’s the same everywhere.. lol!! while girls just sit around and talk outdoors in the cold.. brrr~

totally missing the normal sg life i am so used to.. the gatherings.. the late nights.. the coffee chats.. the movies.. the pool games.. the karaoke sessions.. etc.. life is definitely more fun in sg.. but i have survived without the city life for almost 1 year.. that’s quite some time..

it’s scary leaving the ‘early twenties’ group and joining the ‘mid-twenties’ group.. how interesting.. i am spending my entire mid-twenties in nz.. gotta enjoy heaps before going back to the wonderfully brilliant sg and enjoy even more for my late twenties.. the BIG 3 seems so near..

it took forever to go from 10years old to 20years old.. but it is like so fast to go from 20 to 24.. jeez.. i don’t even wanna think about turning 30.. after the way i heard my ex-colleagues talking about that.. it’s just terribly horrible!!

the last 1 year in nz had been simple.. life hasn’t been more relax than here for years.. everything is so slow!! almost going crazy about how slow the things are here.. went for a 2d1n camp.. only 3 major programs!! compared to sg jam packed schedule.. sg style better..

nz is not bad.. but i don’t think i can survive here for my whole life.. it’s simply too boring and slow.. and the distance between places are super far.. the nearest city from palmy is 2 hours away!! compared to orchard road from choa chu kang.. oh.. transport is quite sucky here too!!

sg is a zillion times better than nz.. that’s for sure.. i will not visit nz after i leave here next time.. coz there won’t be much changes even after 50years.. judging from the years they take to do up a place.. the change can be seen only after centuries probably..

but it’s a good place for a holiday.. 3-month holidays in nz is a great experience.. strongly recommend.. coz you will spend at least 50% of the time traveling on the roads.. seeing sheeps and cows.. the landscape is nice.. can see heaps of stars at night.. real pretty!!

it’s good to stay alone.. independent living.. no 1 to report to.. heaps of peace or solitary.. this is the best part about it.. and can go out late or traveling as and when i want.. totally awesome.. need to return back to stay with my parents when i go home.. hmm..

whenever i go auckland.. i always thought of home.. the variety of food.. the highways.. the street lamps.. the buildings.. city always feel so homey.. and heaps of places to shop and things to do.. unlike a quiet little countryside.. 2 more years to go.. aahhh.. getting even older..

it’s a lengthy blog entry.. finished on january 8 2007 12.45am.. meanwhile i gonna feel like i just turned 19.. so yay~~ gonna enjoy cambridge for a couple more weeks before going back to dear ol’ palmy to enjoy the wonderful year ahead..

adding onto the blog since last night.. i feel so loved today by those who remembered my birthday.. *muackz* lots of love and hugs and nutella..;) the 1st birthday away from sg but the countless simple birthday celebrations.. bought doughnuts for my colleagues (it is the culture here to buy food and/or beers to work on their birthday as celebration).. i love the doughnuts here.. get me sugar high~ not as exciting as nutella but still.. anyway we had doughnuts for morning and afternoon tea.. the usual work doing potting and such.. hit minimum target today *phew* .. after work first thing went to countdown (sg idea of cold storage..) to buy a big bottle of nutella and chocolate milk for dinner.. this is so heavenly.. gonna feast on my nutella.. obviously i am not finishing all today.. hope to last for 1 month.. although the last bottle accidentally lasted for only 3 days.. sheesh.. this could be the reason for me getting so fat!! plus over here people eat and sleep and work.. thankfully the work is so labour intensive.. after this internet session.. going back to eat dinner and re-watch my dramas in my cosy bedroom.. nice and simple.. cheers~
