Well That Is Sad...

Today was the last lecture from Mr. Blackman... I gotta say that is like the saddest thing ever since I came here... I mean, he was like one of the best chemistry lecturer we have, and perhaps one of the best I'll ever have... He always starts off with music at the beginning of lectures, a little pop quiz at the beginning, a pretty decent joke, then three strips of calvin and hobbes during our break... Oh well, we're gonna miss him, he had a great sense of humour...

Strobe Lights

I think strobe lights are possibly the best inventions ever... First time I came across one was during a rubix cube party, and we had a strobe light... I swear it was one of the coolest inventions I have ever come across... People were like static images moving through time, or like flipping through the pages of comic drawings... But it hurts my eyes just trying to focus in that conditions... One day I'm so gonna take one apart and examine it...

A rubix cube party is a party in which you were one item of each colour... And at the end of the night, you should be in one colour only... So six colours, blue, green, white, yellow, orange and red, and you're meant to exchange articles of clothing until u've reached a uniform colour... It was good fun... But weird... Hahaha... Don't think I might go to any of those again... Much much too weird...

Exams next week, gotta buck up and do some studying... Human Body Systems... Probably one of the best subjects so far and one of the most interesting... Oh well, looking forward to it...

Update from All the Way Down in Dunedin

Hey to all-you-who-read-my-blog,

Well, I'm down in Dunedin right now and will be starting lectures tomorrow. Woohoo!!! I'm so excited... not :( lol... But lectures starting tmr should be pretty neat... Especially since I've been doing nothing all week except for lazing on couches, playing ping-pong and pool *must say I'm getting pretty good at it* and eating my heart out... Anyway, life at Studholme college is spectacular... Must say I really like it here... The environment is great, the people are super friendly and life is good... God has been taking real good care of me and I love him for that...

This year has started out really great... First off, I found a long lost arch enemy*ahem friend* who is Sarah Lim!!! Wooo... Nice to talk to her again and catch up... Though only through emails :) But its all good... Uni has started off nicely, everything is sorting itself out and lectures are about to begin... Oh oh, and I found a girlfriend.................................. Hahahahaha.... Gotcha, nah, i didn't find one... Do I look like the kind of guy that would have a girlfriend? Sheesh...

Anyway, don't expect many updates from me this year *ahem Heidy* as I can't or don't want to get onto the internet often while I'm here... *having too much fun down in the common room* and yeah, might be busy with studies and all that...

So that's all from me folks, have a good day and God Bless...

To Tabs...

Well, there you are Tabs, you wanted an updated, you got an update... Anyway, you're going off to Wellington real soon and most of us are going down to Otago, while some of us like Chrislynn and Denny and Jonas are staying in Christchurch... Know that all of us will miss u heaps and that we all hope you do well so you can be our lawyer... Hehehehe... I believe I really started getting to know you through online MSN and it just sort of took off from there... All the time we spent laughing about goodness knows what, talking about a certain somebody, and making decisions... Lol... Great fun last week when we were suppose to go ice skating but didn't and ended up playing pool instead... Go Malaysians!!! Hahahaha... Pretty hard to forget those good times... Anyway, your farewell party like thingy was great :) Pretty sure everyone had tons of fun just fooling around, seeing people after they've come back from their holidays like Haysam and Hamish... Seeing some people for the last time... It can become pretty emotional :) But then, memories do last for a while and hopefully they'll last for eternity... So, we wish u all the best and God bless... Take good care of urself and hopefully hv another reunion soon :) Cheers Tabs



Best picture I could find really :)

Lantern Festival

Ok, just an update from what I did a few days back... Went to the Lantern Festival on Sunday with Calvin, his sister, and Kiran down at Victoria Square in town... Went down at 7.30 pm when it was still nice and bright (it's summer here, so long days) and it was absolutely packed with people... It was hard trying to find a parking spot and when we did, it was another 10 minutes walk to the Square... Anyway, it was rather fun wondering around, sniffing the aroma of food as we walked past various food stalls, listening to people karaoking and just winding your way through the many people in the square... There were actually some pretty nice lanterns there, dragon shaped, turtle shaped, ostrich shaped... Practically any animal under the sun has a lantern in their name... Though the setup n idea was great... Overall, it was pretty disappointing... There wasn't really anything that you can do there and yeah, it was quite sad... Hahahaha... Anyway, am still trying to upload some photos from my phone... But my phone refuses to be picked up by my com... So if in fact I manage to upload them, then I'll post them up in this post :)

Finally...

Well, I thought I might 'feel' like updating since I'm already back in NZ...

Its been a crazy day so to speak... It's already midnight here and I've officially spent 24 hours in NZ... It's been fun... Left at 9.40 pm Malaysian time, flew on Airasia to Gold Coast, Australia... An 8 hour flight in which 5 of them were spent sleeping on the plane... Reached Gold Coast 7.45 am Brisbane time and boy, was customs hectic... So many people were trying to retrieve their luggage and adding pain to injury, the bagage claim area was so small...And as there were like heaps of people there, it was hard to manuevre the trolley around the place... Terrible I tell you... Terrible...

So there I was, sitting at Coolangatta airport waiting to check in for my flight to NZ... My flight wasn't until 5.20 pm that day which was almost 10 hours of transit... Thw wifi at the airport was not working so it kinda sucked... Couldn't come online to let anyone know I was alright... Anyway, sat in the airport, bored to death, occasionally listening to music, dozing off, keeping an eye on my luggage and checking out the hot girls.... Wooooo... Hahaha...Nah, just kidding.... But there were lots of surfer dudes and dudettes passing through... Surf city!!! Hahaha... One day I really should learn how to surf... Looks real cool.... Anyway, after 7 hours wait, I got to check in for my flight to Christchurch and after another 3 hours wait, I finally got to board the plane to Christchurch... Was another 3 hours flight... Slept for 2 of it... And finally landed in Christchurch...

Got there and oh God, customs was frustrating... It took ages to get through and when I did... An hour had already past... My uncle picked me up so that was all good...

So yes, that was my flight plan, just sleeping and waiting... Hehehehe... Travelled for almost 24 hours and now I'm safe and sound... So for those who were worried... I'm safe! Hahahaha...

Insanely Crazy...

I figured its about time I updated so here goes...

Well, one week of 2009 is just about gone and what have I been doing? Yeah baby, working... Haha... Currently I'm working at the Golden Screen Cinemas down at One Utama as a waiter, cashier, usher, cleaner all rolled into one guy in the Gold Class section... Been there for almost a week now and here's a recap...

1st January 2009 :
Went to work at 9.30 am... Opened up the Gold Class area, cleaned the theatre and just sat around waiting for customers... Basically my job is pretty simple... When a customer comes, ask for the ticket, ask if they would like to order anything, sit them down in the hall, and once all the customers have arrived, prepare the food and snacks to bring into the hall... Met Hui Ying and her family on my first day so that was pretty awesome... So yeah, the movie that is currently being shown in Gold Class is Australia... A 2 hour 45 minute long movie... And that is ages... I spent most of the time stoning in front of a wall... Hahaha... Went back early because I was going to a BBQ at Kenny's... Pool party kinda thing, everyone pretty much got wet... Haha...

2nd January:
Went to work again... Had close to a full house in Gold Class... 28 people came to watch Australia... I mean honestly, who would pay so much to watch a movie... Definitely not me... Haha... But it was fun, catering to so many people... My trainer made me run back and forth so many times I was sweating by the end of the day... Really badly... Got back, Mum ask if I was going to CUG when I realise that I'd forgotten to arrange transport to church... So my nice dad took me down to church and I found a ride back with David... Thanks a lot...

3rd January:
A Saturday thing... Not much went on that day, pretty much laze around until I went back home... It kinda becomes some kind of routine... Get there, open up, clean the hall, clean the lounge, count the cash, check stock... And then wait for the customers... Not an unusual day... Went back home and relaxed after that...

4th January:
Had a day off work... Went to church, prayed for Jo Tan as she's leaving for Mississippi... Went back home and chilled out...

5th January:
Night shift... Woooo.... My first ever... Went to work at 6pm but didn't really start until half past 8... It was real tiring cause the last movie ended at about 3am and I was just about the last one to leave... Oh yeah, that was the first time I was doing a shift on my own... And I survived that onslaught... Went to bed at 4am, preparing myself for a morning shift the next day...

6th January:
Wooo... Got my cashier ID today, so now I can officially use the cash register... Haha... Previously had to depend on my trainer or the nice assistant manager to log in for me... But now, I've got one for my very own... Was by myself again today as my trainer had the day off... So I thought that was pretty cool... Enjoyed myself thoroughly... Met a few more collegues and yeah, they are a nice bunch of guys... Hahaha... Woo...

So that's how my week has been... It's been great... Though lunches in OU is not cheap, I found the cheapest way to eat (I think)... GO TO THE BAKERIES!!! The bread there is awesome...
