Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I went to NW metro with Shufaiha today after our tutorial. The first intention was just to get juice but I end up buying a pair of jeans! (we went window shopping after NW) :-( not good not good. But then again, I really need a new pair of jeans and the one I bought was on sale...the original price was $155, but I got it for $50... I'm going to the store tomorrow to get it because I asked them to alter the length...

The jeans is the first clothing item that I bought ever since I got here. I've been very very careful not to buy things that I do not need. I bought the jeans because this morning I realised that I've been wearing the same jeans everyday, and the other two pairs are either too big or too old.... (Oh, I went down one size btw, hooray!) So, I guess the jeans is not a waste of money. Can't wait to get have it with me tomorrow! :) Definitely going to wear it on Thursday.

Woosh is going to deduct $50 from my account tomorrow... :-(
I'm not broke...but I don't like to see my money disappear like that.

Why am I even disappointed?
-----------------------------

Anyway,

I have a test on Thursday. English Literature. Weeee. :) Wish me luck.
My view of literature has changed, I no longer resent the subject. I think I'm liking it very much? Thanks to the lecturers and my tutor for making it as stress free as possible. I have never felt so confident during literature class before, so I am very happy. Oh, just because I like it, doesn't mean I will get good grades... but I do hope I pass the subject... or else I will be very very sad and hate the subject again. hehehe.

---------------------------

The Noho last night was so much fun. I got to know a lot of people and learn+understand about them as well. The food was great, especially the Shepard Pie that Carolyn made and the Cake that Lisa bake and not to forget the Fried Rice and Cucur Jagung that we all made together. :) I didn't sleep that night though, because it was too cold.

---------------------------

I gotta go now. I should be studying. Heheh.

Will write more soon :)

I made Nasi Ayam today...it was my first time making it. The taste? I'd say not bad. hehe. There were a lot of ingredients that I forgot to put in because I couldn't remember the recipe. The rice was too yellow because I didn't know how much turmeric I should put in. Anyway, it still tasted like nasi ayam in the end...and I'm quite proud of myself for taking the risk of wasting good chicken. :)

Oh, I actually intended to make the sauce and the chicken separately, but I was lazy so I decided to make them both at once.

I also made some yummy chicken last week...
and bought some pillows and a blanket at Bed Bath and Beyond...


That's all for now.
:)

I miss homeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! :(

Today was quite...interesting :) We went to a picnic held by WMSO at the Rose Garden somewhere up the hill. We had to go on the cable car to get there since walking would be such a pain. So, that was my first experience going on a cable car in Wellington :) I thought the cable car over here is like the ones I've been on in Malaysia where they have gondolas, (?) but it turns out the cable car is just like a train so there was nothing scary about it (thank God). The picnic started one hour late (Malaysians...typical...) and we got to know other Malaysians in Wellington. The picnic was cut short because it started to rain :( (Nasib baik sempat makan) After that, some of us went to Erni and Sarah's house at Everton Hall because we've never been there before. Their place is HUGE and COZY and not that expensive... Maybe I should think of flatting out next year...hmm. or maybe I could just apply for the RA job and get free accommodation :)Hehe. After that, Sarah, Erni, Arifah and Iz showed us the way back to our place... I was quite
JAKUN because I've never been to that side of Wellington before...

The rest of the day was spent in my room.

I changed my internet plan from the express 10 (10GB) to express 5 (5GB). I need to save money and even though the price difference between the two plans is just $10, it is still a lot of money to me. In 3 months, I will be able to save $30 by just using the 5GB plan.

So yeah
It's 5GB now.
Hopefully it will be enough.

IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN JUNO YET, WELL, GO SEE IT! SERIOUSLY. I SAW IT 4 TIMES AND I STILL CRY EACH TIME!

I am so nervous about going to class tomorrow. :(

Today, I went to the Sunday Market with the three girls (Jo, Zaty, Klong). I bought onions, potatoes, tomatoes, broccoli and carrots. I have no idea what I'm going to do with all that, hehehe. I think I need to start cooking vegetables too since I haven't been eating any unless Jo and Zaty offer theirs. I'm not a big fan of veggies but since Zaty was warning me about how important vegetables are especially if I want a healthy baby in the future (hehe), I've decided to start eating them. Yesterday, Zaty made this sup sayur which I honestly think is good so I think I might try that too. Oh, I also made chicken curry today, and I think it's quite okay for a beginner. Zaty and Jo had some of the chicken curry that I made and they said it was okay too :)

umm.I guess that is all for now. Will write more tomorrow, maybe after class? IF I have the time... I'm not sure how busy tomorrow will be even though I only have one class tomorrow.

Ta ta

I woke up quite late today...saja teringin nak tido lama sikit. After I woke up, I took a shower, had my breakfast, surfed the internet, and got ready to go to the beach at 1pm for my free ice cream! So, at 1pm, we waited at the foyer and off we went to the beach! It took us about 40 minutes to get to the beach by foot. I had chocolate and vanilla ice cream and it was yummy! Since it was quite warm, my ice cream melted pretty fast! I threw away most of my ice cream and just ate the cone...hehehe. After that, some of us went to Yan's Supermarket where they sell spices and stuff and at about 3, we walked back to Edu House :) That is pretty much what I did today. I'm planning to go see the "Pimp My Room" competition tonight at the common room. It sounds interesting. Last time, when I went to see Human Monopoly, I won myself a prize even though I did not participate in the game. So, who knows, maybe tonight could be my lucky night again? hehe.

That's all for now I guess.

Later!

I got my student id card! weee. we (jo zaty shufaiha and i) went to Uni really really early so that we didn't have to queue to get our student ids. :)

I've also registered my phone online! A new member of vodafone nz lah now! :)

I've cleaned my room a bit.

I think i'm pretty much ready for class on monday. Got my timetable all organized.

Wish me luck!
