Sleeting in Dunedin

It's just officially 4 days into winter and it snowed! Well, the right technical term here is sleeting, since the snow was barely 1 inch deep and it came with rain. But who cares?!

It was around 10pm, and everyone was busy studying for our exams. When we heard about it, we immediately ran out to greet the snoooooow. I was still in jandals by the way. We got out into Clyde Street, heaps of people were already there.

"Say snow!"

As seen in this pic, Mr Sam Brown is busy using the dish washing tray to ski, the attempt was clearly unsuccessful but entertaining nonetheless.

Not much snow fight possible as the snow wasn't deep enough, but it certainly gave us something to look forward to in the next few weeks!

Back to blogspot

Finally, after 6 months blogging in multiply, I came back to blogspot. Why the change? Well, why not?

Since the last time I blogged here, many things have happened. I've been into and out of a relationship, fell in love and got my heart broken, changed university and town, changed my circle of friends, changed a church, gone through a traumatic experience, just to mention a few. So, a change now would be appropriate.

After all the new things we experience in life, it's always good and comforting to go back to where it all started. Perhaps we're brought up in an environment that teaches us that changes are always for the better, and maybe that's how we always manage to get hurt with those kind of high expectations. So one of my new half-year resolution is to live each day as it is, not expecting much from any situation. That way, a disappointment wouldn't seem like a big one; and a small achievement would seem like a gift from heaven.

Anyway, been busy studying as always. First semester exams start on 9th and ends on 20th June. Good thing there's something to look forward after that: I'm going back to my absolutely fabulous hometown- Kuching for 2 weeks. heh. Even my parents are now honeymooning holiday-ing in Bangkok. But for now, study awaits me. *frowns*

NEWWWWWWWWWSSSSSSSS

Blogger no more. Introducing my multiply blog.

It'll be my main channel of keeping in touch with friends, family, etc. So do go there and visit, comment, or just read reviews, ok?

Still trying to make it look more ar- presentable, so not as pweety as blogspot de. Till then, thankiu blogspot for being faithful to me for 2 years, now is the time for me to move on =)

Looking at this blog again made me realise how much I begin to despise the cheesy pink layout and blogspot. Hmm maybe it is time to move to Multiply, eh. But starting from scratch again in a new blog is just too tiresome for lazy ole me. And 1 reason why I hesitated to move in the 1st place is coz blogs can be more personal here, while everything has to be general and so-not-personal in fear that I might accidentally write about something that may offend somebody. bleh. Do I worry too much or are these just lame excuses for me to stick with blogspot?

So it's now only 11 days to go before I'm back in Kuching again! Ahhhh my beloved home town where all the delicious food and all the nice super kepoh people are! And that's where all the clothes are cheeaap and not Kiwi-ish. But Christchurch has caught my heart somehow too. The beautiful scenery, friendly and warm people, 1-storey malls... gah. I'm torn between 2 cities! These are the times when you wish you can be in 2 places at a time!

Can't wait to get home! All those 38 friends going back to kuching as well, please contact me for reunions wor! keke.

I have no idea how I should be feeling, happy or sad.

Good news is I did faily well in my english presentation which I spent a lot of time preparing and then worrying about it. At least that's what one of my markers told me. I know it tuned out better than I expected, but really breathed a huge sigh of relief when Lee Simpson (my previous SNZ teacher) said congrats and told me I did a good job. *smiles*

Bad news was I lost my necklace! For those who know me well might notice that I frequently wear my gold cross necklace given to me by my parents. I know it probably didn't worth that much, but to me, it was priceless. My (sort of) good luck charm, something I've worn since I was very very young is lost now, somewhere in Christchurch... waa. I felt more disappointed than sad at myself, knowing that if I had clasped it on tighter that morning, it wouldn't have slipped off my neck. But there's nothing to do now except to keep praying for it to somehow reappear again, and be realistic and accept the fact that it is really gone. GONE.
