Here in Dunedin

Haha....
After a few days of jetlag, finally I could adapt myself. However, time moves fast here. It seems like 24 hours being shortened to 12 only...

hmmmm...okay I'll start with my journey here. Left KLIA at 9.30pm on the 16th of feb. Along the journey I could not sleep much. Maybe its because of the time difference. It took about 10 hours to arrive at Auckland. Upon landing I could see lots of building. What pops up in my mind was that it must and surely be a developed city...haha...happy with that. At Auckland airport, my frens who are going to study at AU went off to their uni. We, the Otagoans, ride a free shuttle to the domestic flight terminal. Then waited that for bout 5 hours and its time to check -in again. My flight is not a direct flight to Dunedin. So, we stop at Wellington but its only for about half an hour. I slept the whole journey from Auckland to Wellington and to Dunedin...haha..even not wanting to eat on the flight as I prefer to sleep.And when I arrive, I could see nothing besides green fields and some cows.(unlike auckland and wellington) hmmm...I was looking out from the window and kept searching for the runway where the plane would land. At that time I was wondering are we going to land on grasses????

Arrive at Dunedin at around 8 something (their local time) . And we waited for our seniors and the direct flight people. Then there is a shuttle taxi that brought us to our accommodation (toroa). This place reminds me of NS cause its on hillside and we need to climb steep steps...:( . The next day, our seniors brought us to the uni for course approval and to the bank to have our accounts opened. Then we get a NZ number as well :) We also had the chance to shop for some groceries in "countdown". All thanks to YeeMin for her help and good time management. She was really helpful and sweet..

And today(the 2nd day), I went out with my housemates...shopping again...also bought groceries as well...tis time its serious shopping...bought necessities like rice, salt, sugar, some vegetables and meat...etc...Then we had BBQ at our residential college. Met a lot of friendly ppl from all over the world...its great!and we also check out the laundry...hehe




I think thats for mow...photos will be uploaded later in FB...

NEW YEAR with peeps**




Last night , i had a great countdown with my high school mates. It has been almost a year that we haven't meet up. Everyone changes differently. But the obvious thing is that now the table is full of beer instead of carbonated drinks... haha we are not kiddos anymore.

Tang and Yang Wei sang all night. Thats why some of the place flooded....who is the culprit??? caught red handed!! Then we played so called 'names' game. And i am YANG WEI...gosh..haha..In the end, MISS TANG drank the most and her face is so RED. I think she was drunk and tipsy to do those sexy pose during our photo session...

Another thing... A game played...*FRoG* in water?? hmmm.. it sounded like this:
One frog , jump into water , thump, 2 frogs 2 frogs, jump into water, jump into water, thump , thump...and it goes on.

Finally SAM arrived,and we watched a movie - 'THE RETURN'
Its kind of boring but the high pitched screams from my peeps makes the show kind of interesting. haha everyone is guessing when the ghost would appear.

5 more minutes to 12, Tang's bro came in and reminded us. The clock almost struck 12 ...think its bout 10 more seconds...then we rushed down.but haiz the countdown is OVER!!!!!.. but the smart genius TANG said we go all over again...Then there goes 3, 2, 1 hoooray 1.1.11.....yeahhhh...A new year awaiting with much to be filled with joy...

but right on the dot , my dad called saying that he is outside waiting for me and I left...


Anyway, Thanks, TANG for the night.

All the best..
