The hot weather is really making me lazee to blog. Funny weather, really. Who would have believed that just about 1 month ago it snowed, yet the temperature today is about 30 degrees. Could feel like melting if you stand under the sun, the sun rays are just siaooo strong. Sunblocks n sunnies are a must to stay cool during these summery days. =)
A few updates... First of coz was Rebec's birthdae buffet at Cabbage Tree Restaurant last Sunday. The price quite dear (25 dollars), but anything for *cough cough* mei li...hehe. Food really nice and "prawny", lotsa ice cream too. But before that, went present shopping with Amelia but ended up spending quite a lot for myself. *guilty* Bought a cute cap, did manicure and got nails polished, bought nice belt, watched movie (corpse bride). All in all, spent more than 100 dollars again. Perhaps the most "memorable" part was looking for transport to go home after movies. We didn't know that the metro service stopped at 11pm on Sundays, so had to call people up for transport. So paiseh coz I had to call Ivan 10 minutes before midnite for him to pick me up, and Kelvin didn't help at all by babbling on and on about how he feel weird waiting with me...long story though.
So anyway, had Bio test today. Studied like crazy for it, but mana tau it came out really darn easy. Wasted my energy and time nia. Sheeesh. Nevermind la, can use the info for finals. How easy was it? Yang left just after 15 mins, me being the 2nd last to leave (Joe the last) left after 30 mins. Oh yea did I mention about the New Zealand in the World test results? Got A- (pretty happy about it, since I LOATHE politics and trade stuff) and what did Phyllis (my teacher) said?! "I expected you to do much better in some questions, Jocelyn"... uh huh. Sumaiya got C (no offense) and she didn't even say anything to her. How caring of her.
Btw, got the conditional offer of place in Uni of Otago! Wooohoo~ I finally decided after loooong thought, I'm studying towards a Bachelor of Science in Psychology. I'm still keeping my options open to any possibility la. But psychology has been my passion for years, so maybe I'll branch into either criminal or child care psych. Chim, leh. Would love to take up another language, probably Spanish as extra subject. Fabianna (from Puerto Rico) helped me with a few words liao...haha.
Long blog, with a few pics from the bdae dinner. Oh yea, holidays next week!!! nyahaha. sooo nice. But still have to finish draft 1 of the research essay. 1500 words la. Biology essay 1000 words based on hormones due Nov oso. Oh well, happy weekend and take care to everyone.
life is a funny thing
How ironic is that when 26 of your "friends" are online (msn messenger), yet the person you would like to chat with (or just want to see XXX online) is not there?
Ahhh. The world can be a little too ironic sometimes. War and natural disasters going on everywhere, yet people are still getting drunk (eg at uni last Friday) without a care in the world... Wanna hear something really sturonic (stupid+ironic)? A woman is suing her husband close to a million dollars for all the housework she'd done for him during the last 5 years they've been married. Or, a burglar sued a property owner for not having properly functioning garage doors after he was trapped inside the garage for weeks, having to survive on dog food and rain water (the burglar won the case, by the way).
We may never know why things happen in strange (unwanted) ways, but we do know that everything happens for a reason. And maybe, just maybe, there will be a blessing in disguise after all of it.
Anyway, I'm finally playing for Czone this Sat nite. Kern is leading, and I'm *gulps* playing the piano. Scary la. Wish me luck and pray for me, k?
Lyrics from Alanis Morisette- Ironic
A traffic jam when you're already late
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
It's meeting the man of my dreams
And then meeting his beautiful wife
And isn't it ironic...don't cha think
A little too ironic...and yeah I really do think...

Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
Life has a funny, funny way of helping you out
Helping you out

Funny how I always have the most inspiration to blog once its close to having a test or exam. Point is, a 20% test on New Zealand in the World is tomorrow, and I still haven't covered all the topics on the UN and Commonwealth. Stupid politics. If it wasn't an elective subject, I wouldn't even be bothered about it.
So anyway went to the central library to study for it, at the 11th floor to be precise. Quite a nice view though, and couldn't resist taking some pics. I could actually see almost the whole of Chch, and one most noticable thing of coz is - the library is probably the tallest building in the whole city. So farnie. Either the Kiwis don't have the technology to build multi-storied buildings or they're really cautious about the possibility of an earthquake happening.
studying, eh
nice view from the top
Ivan's plastic pencil bag, "it's called sustainability..." uh huh.
The topic about going clubbing came up AGAIN. For the past few days I've been thinking of the nicest way possible to tell Liudmila that I'm just not comfortable going clubbing. I'm not going to go on about how Christians (well, most) don't go clubbing, but I needed her to understand that it's my decision and to respect it, also I don't think that people who go clubbing are, well, bad-eggs. So I hope I got that cleared la. Kinda awkward coz Ivan's been asking us out for clubbing at 2 freaking a.m. this weekend! So, yeah, the answer is no but thanks for asking anyway. It seems like people who DON'T go clubbing are the minority here, unlike the scenario back home. So kwai le, me.
But I did agree to go the bbq party tomorrow though. Correction. Liudmila DRAGGED me to the bbq party. I reluctantly said yes after she said, "So you're betraying your best fren, huh." Make me feel bad nia. But what I don't understand is why most June intake students are not going. I just hope the weather's fine, and no strong winds of course.
On a more serious note, I've finally signed up to sponsor a child. And to be honest, it feels great. Plus, it's only 40 dollars a month to sponsor a child living a poverty, and giving him/her (in my case, a 3 year old girl) a brighter future. So, to all those who haven't lent a helping hand in any way at all, WHY NOT?

change of heart
Since a few months ago, I've been thinking of studying at somewhere else other than my current uni, Uni of Canterbury. Well it is a nice place to study but the subjects just don't suit me that well after all. Funny how AFTER you've made an important decision, THEN you've realised that it was a mistake.
So anyway, I was chatting to ah May when I suddenly realised "Heck, why not go to Uni of Otago?!" There are more choices there on the subjects I can choose from, which are probably genetics, biological sciences, or clinical psychology. Also, I'll also meet with some of my old classmates there, and new ones la of course. Old ones namely Kia Miang (maybe), May, Rebec, and "new ones" like Yang (uh huh).
So I've printed out the application forms, filled it out, then ask Maeve about the forecast results or whatever to prove that I'm taking Foundation studies and other stuff.
Though I'm still not 100% sure if I'm going to Dunedin next year, part of me is fairly excited to go study at a new town (though its colder there la, but more snow!), part of me feels sad to leave frens here in uni and Czone. Well, I know its not easy to say goodbye, but its just a chance I have to take, a change I have to make to make the best of my uni life.
1 major problem is of coz accommodation problem lo. Applications for Halls of Residence closed on 1st Oct, but hopefully if I get accepted, they'll arrange something for us (Yang also haven't applied btw). And 1 important thing is that mum had already booked the return ticket back to Christchurch on 17 Feb 06. If wanna change date and location sure costs a lot. sigh. What to do when I'm such an undecided person? Until now I still haven't decide WHAT to study yet. waaaaa......... I hate making decisions.
Lord, please give me wisdom to choose wisely.

personality test
| The Keys to Your Heart |
 You are attracted to those who have a split personality - cold as ice on the outside but hot as fire in the heart. In love, you feel the most alive when your lover is creative and never lets you feel bored. You'd like to your lover to think you are loyal and faithful... that you'll never change. You would be forced to break up with someone who was insecure and in constant need of reassurance. Your ideal relationship is lasting. You want a relationship that looks to the future... one you can grow with. Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment. You think of marriage as something precious. You'll treasure marriage and treat it as sacred. In this moment, you think of love as commitment. Love only works when both people are totally devoted. |
