The wind, the rain and Auckland.

It was damn raining heavily yesterday. WHY WHY WHY do we have to get wind + rain combination in Auckland? Well one thing to thank for is that Wellington MIGHT be worst off than us.

*evil laughter*

I KNOW IT!!

The wind = W
The rain = R

W: Hey... There is another umbrella there!!
R: You do your business first lah then I do mine.
W: Both of us do then got OOMMPH ma...
R: MAHUAN lah u... I so tired lah... U think i like u ha? Just blow blow enough liao... I still gotta keep pouring water... One place oso not enough, MUST LOTS N LOTS of places... Especially this NZ ah.. MAHUAN!! SO LONG one the country. Haih.
W: Adeh... U think my job oso so easy de ha?? Blow wind kenot soft soft... Some places need hard hard one like Auckland and Wellington mah... They are used to it anyway...

Well... Written in a bored manner. I had IDEAS but it was lost on the way... Well, Mr Wind, not everyone in Auckland LOVES the horrible strong wind you had on us yesterday. DAMMIT! My cousin actually was in ICU (for his practicum in hospitals) and he was telling us how the nurses and patients were counting how many umbrellas broke. I think they counted more than 20 the time he was there.

*sigh*

Missing home. Not as much as last year. Remembering I used to cry silently in bed and whenever I called home, tears just ran down my face. ALL OVER MY FACE. Now, it's numb. I can't cry anymore, but I still miss home as much. Auckland's great and everything but I miss mummy and daddy. Haih... How mum usually nags and nags and nags AND nags... How I used to quarrel (and still do over the phone) but it reminds me how stubborn both of us can be. Daddy is usually the silent person, the one that is quiet but we do share secrets. Like the time I crashed my dad's car. Even though I paid for the thing with my salary (sob sob...) still I don't think my mum would be glad to hear that I had an accident. We are bad. Another time we didn't tell her was when we accidentally caused a crack in my grandpa's violin... Ooohh... Not so good when she found out about that. Thank God for His help that I managed to get it repaired at a place where the old man was really really nice to me. He charged me 200 when he could have charged me more. I went back later to thank him but he had an accident and forgot who I was. Ah well... Life works in mysterious ways!

Dangerous combination

I've found a really dangerous combination...

Laptop + Anime (especially Ouran!) + Library = You want to laugh out loud but can't.

No sleep + Laptop +Air Con = Falling asleep

Laptop + Library +Sleeping = People can steal it off you because you were busy sleeping

*sigh*

This is the life of a BEd student, while the other faculties' students are slaving away doing their work... I AM SLEEPING in the LIBRARY because I was bored enough to watch animes on my laptop.

We are just as busy but not in the same way as you all out there who are not BEd students... I've just had too much free time that's it.

4 hours breaks + No Jin + NO ONE TO TXT/COULDN'T BOTHERED TO REPLY = ULTIMATE BOREDOM

Conclusions...

I've found some really interesting maths equations...

Piaget + Transportation = Headache... No change that to migraine.

Theories + Analysing = Bang head on wall

Education + Theories = Will kill your passion for teaching

Forums + Group Assignments = You will never want to go online

Last but not least,

Internet + Assignments = SHIT!

I'm 20......

LOL.

I guess being so long away from home makes your friends forget what date is your birthday. Plus, being in Auckland for such a short time that your friends don't remember your birthday. Sad as...

Well, Jessie and the whole gang (meaning maybe another 2 more girls? *sarcasm*) decided to celebrate it with us as Linda's birthday falls on the 25th (SURPRISE SURPRISE!!) so we would have a joint celebration. =)

Bad thing is that........... Most of them are having tests and assignments in the next two weeks so they would not celebrate it. Bear in mind that MOST means all 3 girls. *sad*

Well, we planned to go to Onehunga for WINDOW-shopping but failed as we need 4 people to get the group pass. So went to Newmarket and had fun crapping the whole way. Well, this is the first time my birthday celebration was... small. Hahahha... It was fun though. My friends (IN NZ) were texting me happy birthday whole day long and SOME of the very thoughtful ones in Malaysia texted me too. This is why people forget you when you are too long away from home and too short a time in another foreign country. Poor me...

edit: Ok ok... I was being mean bout Malaysian friends forgetting me... Actually most of them did remember, wishing me through my blog and also friendster. The GOODNESS of both. I'm just a meanie that day...

p.s. I know I forced someone to sms me anyway. HAhaha... U-noe-who-u-are... Soi lah u!

At the small teeny weeny garden@Newmarket

esther n jessie

The present Jessie and Linda got me. THANKS!!

Jessica's present. Her hint was it's not a toy and not edible cz I was guessing toys and food.

We had a pre-birthday/gradutation/welcome back party with my aunt and family the night before. Had Thai. Deliciously small portions for everyone. ^^" It was cool though... Dressed up real formally. Hehe...

Mel and me...

And my "birthday cake" of the year... FLAMING CHICKEN!!!

The youth that night actually made my day. They brought me out for supper at a Korean restaurant and we did really had a fun time crapping round the table, with some really bad "think sideways" comments. Mel made it!! She was tired but she still made it cz she knows that if she didn't dragged her butt over (sorry!) I would follow her home. Hehe... Ooohhh... And some guy ate RAW BEEF + RAW EGG = Eeeekk!! It did taste quite nice but I would never ever eat the whole whole WHOLE bowl and LICK it clean. They all wished me all the best and the most wishes I got was "Please be more girly as you are already 20" and also "Don't be too pretty cz you are already pretty." Makes you go... "HUH??" and also think sideways. LOL. Well, I'll try and tone down my attitude but hey, it's still me.

Youth@Korean

Another angle which you could see everyone!

A toast to me!! I've no idea where is my hand so don't ask me.

p.p.s. OOOHHH!!!!!!!! I've got a present waiting for me in Kuching and one (hopefully) on the way from Sydney... Hiak hiak hiak...

Seriously?

I need to gain weight so I can float in the swimming pool... NOT drowning like weights.

I thought I was pretty cool swimmer, meaning that I can swim but not take breaths... However, I'm really one of the worst in my class. See how good my classmates are at swimming??

Goal: GAIN MORE WEIGHT!!

p.s. I think it's not really achievable... Gaining 2 kg is really hard what say 6 or 7 kg...

See Hua tagged me cz I tagged him...

I'm glad for one thing and one thing only...
MY TAG WAS WAAAAYYYYYYY LONGER THAN THIS ONE!!!!!

Q1: Who is the most wanted blogger you want to meet?
Actually... I dunno woo.... I've met all of mine cz they were my friends...

Q2: Who is the group of blogger you most wanted to meet?
My besties don't blog............ So I can't say them...

Q3: Who is the “I can meet, want to meet but somehow never get to meet blogger’?
I think kennysia lah... Walao... Kuching is NOT that big ok??? At dun wanna meet lah... but at least catch a glimsp loh... May be is my really bad-recognising-people-skill's. It really really really is bad.

tag 5 people at the end.

I've forgotten...

I really forgot why I wanted to teach. It really gets you when you have been studying so long (5 weeks...) and that you can't really interact with the children. So much for practicality. Can't complain though, Malaysia's worse off.

I went for my volunteered job at Freemans Bay Primary School. I had to translate English reading books to Mandarin at first until the ESOL students came in. It was fun but most of them were Korean... T.T As if I know Korean... The children were so cute though. EEEKKK!!!!

Then after break, they had me helping a Chinese boy with his writing. He could do it fluently in Chinese but not in English. I got him helping me with the writing and also the translating in which is the most important one. He even translated the last sentence with minimal help from me. *clap clap* Brilliant! I guess it does help them when someone speaks their language helps them. The teacher I was working with suspected that he is intellectually very bright but it's the language that creates the barrier. The school does not really have much help for the Chinese students as I could see that the Korean kids actually have more help than the Chinese one as there were Korean translations of everything in the ESOL classroom. They do have Chinese parents coming in to help but the thing is that they need them to be fluent in English as well so the children could benefit.

The third little girl was sooo cute! However, the thing is that she does not talk at all. She worries her last year but this year's teacher has not referred her to my teacher. However, my teacher wanted to test her on her basic knowledge of things like facial features or what they do and a range of other questions as well. The little girl was very slow to respond. She would take a long time before she would answer a question. She does not even look willing to answer at all. However, when I started to ask her in Mandarin, her respond was immediate. She felt more comfortable and she looked into my eyes. I noticed that she would not look at my teacher at all. Well, she did know most of the things and my teacher was pleased with the result. She wants me to work more with both of the children. I do wish I could speak Cantonese and Korean as well. Hahahaha... =)

After 3 hours with the children, I do feel much more secured that this is really the job I want. I really hope that God would show me what I can do more with the children. I've totally forgotten how much I really enjoyed working with children and that was the reason that pushed me towards having teaching as my first (and only) choice as my career.

I'm glad that this experience refreshed me. If not, I think I would really doubt myself why I wanted to be a teacher so much. I had started doubting again as there were so many obstacles in the way.

What an adventure...

Sounds like a children's book title. Seriously.

I had to go to Avondale Intermediate to do some science testing on the children and yeah, you bus everywhere in Auckland. Got on the bus. I asked and researched before getting on the bus. So I was pretty confident. Once I got on the bus, I'm not to confident after all. I couldn't open my mouth to get the bus driver to notify me when we were near the school. So I had to sort of guess my way round. Lots of students came on with mufti and I had to ask Leo which colour is Avondale College students wear but what I really wanted to know is the intermediate uniform. He had no idea.

The students went off and I thought I'll just followed them. LOL. BAD IDEA. I was still very, very, very far off from the school... T.T I was at Western Springs and according to Leo, I'm 4-5km from Avondale. Had to walk til I saw shops and I went in to ask the nice girl where in the heck is Avondale and where I can catch a bus there. Luckily, I walked towards the bus stop and there were Avondale College students getting on a bus and straight away I got on the bus. This really, really tested me. I wanted to break down and cry but I still hold on. I know God would somehow provide. Well... I reached school... ON TIME!!! That concludes my one and a half hour of... Finding Avondale Intermediate.

I managed to get back to uni safely..................................... CZ MY CLASSMATE OFFERED TO DRIVE ME BACK!!!!!!!!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Know what??? I had a full day that day... All my classes for the semester were in that day alone... *SOB*

Yeah... TXT2000 rocks. I usually just spam text anyone in NZ cz yeah, it's only for NZ. Hahaha... Jessie sent really cute messages to me and I spam txt everyone I feel like it but usually is Nai Chen and the JPA gang (those closer to me de lo...)

=) It was a great ending to a horrible day... BUT I got home around 7 cz our lecturer wouldn't let us go earlier...

Emo?

LOL.

I've no idea what is emo anyway...

It's the first time I've actually told my closest sister that I been hurt. Took me a well 4 years to get over it.

If I did want to blog about this, I should be open right?? LOL.

MORE GUTS NEEDED!!!!

*take a deep breathe*

Well... Had this stupid crush on a guy. NOT good. I think I took it a teeny weeny too seriously and it went BAD as.... So yeah... Moral of the story. BE CLEVER. THINK it out first THEN... jump into it if you look like the prettiest girl... IE who is pretty now? DOn't know... Not in vogue nowadays...

What am I writing? Stupid stupid stupid??

There is a reason to this post cz I've got a feeling that I'm gonna be stupid again.

TAGGED!!! twice....

Each one starts out by telling 6 weird things about themselves. People who get tagged need to write (in their own blog) 6 weird things as well and state the rules clearly. In the end, you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names. After you do that, leave each of them a comment letting them know you tagged them and the cycle goes on.

Here it goes...

I love re-watching, re-reading good stuffs. I really can re-watch or re-read things. A favourite movie or drama or book at the moment would be read or watched again and again and again. I'm into Vampire Knight, Prince of Tennis, Ouran High School Host Club and Wallflower at the moment.

I need my blanket. No, cross that out. I need my comforter (duvet). Even it was sweltering in Malaysia and I only had fans, I still sleep/napped with my duvet wrapped around me. No duvet would make me insomaniac.

I eat chocs like crazy. As in one day one HUGE bar. Those BIG bars of Cadbury/Whittakers/Nestle chocolates. If during exams, I eat even more.

I usually read til I sleep in bed. If not, I'll stay awake. So usually I forget to turn off the lights.

I'm eating (quite regularly) instant noodles twice a week. Unhealthy I know...

Ooohh... And this one no one would believe me. I'm actually a very soft spoken girl. *grins* Happy lah... People always say I'm too loud for my own good. However at my practicum, my associate teacher told me never to yell across the class like her because I'll hurt my voice and that it might not suit me because I'm too soft spoken!!

I don't know who can I tag... LIMITED EDITION lol...

Photos I owe...

There is a lots of photos whom I owe those reading this blog. I think it's just me who feels guilty if I don't upload the photos. Hehe... Ok... I'll start with Long Bay. This was the week before the Lantern Festival. Orientation trip for Internation Students. Read it properly... INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS. Well... We pay a heck lot of money to the uni so they do treat us nicely. We had to pay for this trip anyway... Went there by bus and there were a lack of buses. What were they thinking anyway?? Heheh... Got stuck with 3 guys sitting on my side. I had to sit in the middle of Chuan Zhong@banana and Eng Keat@egg tart. That's actually how my new blardy nick came to be... Egg tart + Banana = Eggnana. These guys have excellent maths skills... T.T

This is one of the few photos we took once we reached the beach. They complained that it was not gorgeous with white sand but all agreed that the view was fantastic!

We (actually me) complained that we were hungry. We went there on the 11am bus in which was half an hour later than the preceding buses but we couldn't resist getting someone to take the photo for us... cz of the hill reminds me of stairs. Hahaha... Banana, no one wanna pose with you!!
I *heart* *heart* *HEART* this photo. Hahaha... We took FREE apples and started eating them when one of us decided that it would be great to pose with the apples... Jessie... Why aren't you eating yours?

After lunch... Nothing better to do than... POSE WITH TREES. We decided to eat under the trees cause KONONNYA more romantic. Hahaha... The guys just went with us anyway. Look like a poster for something lah... Any idea what guys??

*POSE*

More trees... We love nature...
L-R: Linda, me, Jessie, Farique

Linda and I. She's the one who thinks that I'm high enough to make things even crazier. She's COOL!! And always on my side... =) When Banana and Egg tart starts, she'll help me out!

We found our way to this cute little cottage on top of the hill... I'll try and upload the photo of the view. It's GORGEOUS!! We though that taking a photo at the house would suffice our needs as we couldn't get into the house. Private property and can be rented.
This was taken before we left exploring the place and before going to the cottage. Hehehe... I love love love love love love ABSOLUTELY LOVE this photo. So cute and natural. I think banana was the photographer. Not bad...
Jessie and I at the cute arch at the house. If you look closely enough, I was carrying my camera. Spontaneous photo taking!!

Ok ok... That concludes my Long Bay trip. There are TONS of the photos but couldn't be bothered anyway... Some are not even given to us... *sob sob*

Ooohhh... And I LOVE my PLAYLIST of Worship songs. These are my ABSOLUTE FAVOURITES!!

Auckland weather...

Seriously... Not sexist or what. People said that women tend to change their mind like flipping through a book and this is what describes today's weather the best.

It is really crazy. It was fine in the morning... Nice sunny weather perfect for my PE class which was SWIMMING!! That's another story altogether. Then the wind started blowing and it was freezing. Wore my sweats which was not too thick and walked... Then it started drizzling. 5 minutes later, the sun came out and I took off my sweats. Then it decided that it would be better off in raining. LOL. All within the space of 30 minutes.

It was gale force wind when I walked down Mt Eden Road and it started raining when I got off the bus at Symonds St. Such luck is needed for me... (T.T) I had a headache from all that wind. It's really really strong and I couldn't stand straight. I felt that any time I'm gonna be blown off the road. The wind was so strong til I took a few steps backwards. Luckily my feet is still firmly on the ground.

Jin and I had lunch with Amanda for her birthday celebration. We couldn't make it to her party this Saturday. We had lunch at Daikoku... It's delicious. A set lunch which costs NZ$12.80. Quite reasonable. Had too much fun talking and eating that I forgot to take any photos at all... Heheh... We got her Body Shop stuffs rather than Crabtree and Evelyn as she has really sensitive skin. Well she loved it so... It's great. I had to go to the shop 6 or 7 times yesterday as Jin was working and couldn't get out. I had to tell her everything and what is nice and what is not. LOL.

Mel liked my "ngo hiam" which I made for the CNY thing at church. She says I learn one dish that could be showed off every year. It was lemon chicken and now... NGO HIAM!! LOL. It has the best ingredient in it... I put prawn, water chestnuts, onions, pork, carrot... And dunno liao... Wanted to cut up button mushrooms but too lazy liao... I had to chop them in cubes... Teeny weeny ones and Vincent is NOT helping at all...

=) Ok. I hope I gained more weight so that the wind would have no chances at blowing me off one day... I think I've lost a few kgs since I came back to NZ.

*noticed that I said came back rather than gone to NZ. Hmm... Is NZ becoming a second home to me now?

Tuesday, March 13, 2007

Friends...

I know how much I was blessed...

My nick for that day was "I am mad at myself". I was in church and looked pissed off (I think!) and people were texting me to see I was fine.

On MSN, people were asking if I was ok?

I'm just mad because I made the same mistake I did years ago... A mistake that hurt me to the core. I lost friends over it, became a rebel and did everything in my power to get it back in which I still lost out. I promised myself that I would think twice before doing the same thing again. However, I head-butted myself into the same problem again. Definitely pissed off...

The night before was also pissed off cz my cousin LAST MINUTE decided that ALL of us would go and watch the movie. Yes, he had warned us but he didn't say anything about getting the tickets and STUFF IT!! He arrived home at 7.15 in which we were meant to leave at 7.30 so that we would arrive in time. I had to leave OCF early and ran the whole way home. Then I got a message before I arrived saying that he is outside the chapel (where OCF was held) waiting for me. When he came home, he started his favourite hobby of all, blaming us. LOL. It is done in jest but sometimes there is this fine line between it. My cousin was out dating but he insisted she leave with us. Her bf was not that happy after all... Who likes being disturbed when you are with your bf/gf?

Tomorrow I'm gonna have Jap with Amanda and Jin cz it is going to be Amanda's 21st on Sat but both Jin and I can't make it. Too far and we've got NO IDEA what to dress up... I've gotta go to the primary school again to ask why they have not been calling me and also to go to the Body Shop to get a present for Amanda. Jin's working to I've got to walk to and fro so we can get the best present for her... =)

Til then, I bid adieu...

Pyrotechnics!

It is actually a technical term for fireworks.

It was amazing last night. They were just amazing. Indescribable. They were actually playing with the fireworks and fire... I'll try and get the videos... I didn't take anything... Cz my friends were taking videos the WHOLE WAY... 45 minutes. It was brilliant. It's not just fireworks. They carried the machines around on their own backs... They played with fire.

http://tv3.co.nz/News/EntertainmentNews/tabid/186/articleID/22897/Default.aspx

watch it for yourself. it is really worth it!

*FREE ADMISSION... it's Auckland Festival now. Uhm... Arts, dramas everything is on... It's all about arts now... Way cool but... expensive! Except for this performance. It's the official opening for the AK'07

A LITTLE MORE LIGHT

BY: GROUPE F (FRANCE)

The artistry of acclaimed French pyrotechnicians, Groupe F, is known throughout the world; they have lit up the Eiffel Tower, the Stade de France for the football World Cup, the Olympic Games in Athens and the 2004 and 2005 New Years Eve celebrations in London. Now, Auckland Festival, AK07 takes pleasure in introducing them to you. Groupe F does more than put on fireworks: it devises spectacular fire events. A Little More Light (Un Peu Plus de Lumière) will create a breathtaking display of fire and light against the panorama and beauty of the Auckland Museum.

Being a BEd student...

I always wonder,

IF, I studied physiotheraphy...
IF, I've gone for engineering...
IF, I was really into medicine...
IF, I had studied really hard and gotten a scholarship.

It does not matter... I wanted to be teacher.

Why? I felt a calling to be a teacher. I know God has plans for me to be one.

Somehow, the people in church (back in Kuching) did not take it seriously. I felt that I was the odd one out. I hated going to church. It's lovely but when people start asking you, where are you studying then that fateful question about what you doing, their eyes starts flitting round the hall. Their incredible look of "You went overseas JUST to be a teacher?" and their silent questioning of each other "Is she in her right mind?"

I've yet to hear great feedback of "Hey, that's a fantastic option!" Everyone just left me alone. I don't fit into the youth OR young adults. Even those who I used to play with would just nod hi. Maybe it's just the long absence that makes them unsure where they stand with me.

How many youths in our church are overseas?
I know there is a whole gang in Christchurch and Dunedin. I've got two pharmacists, one lawyer, one doctor, two soon-to-be-either doctors or dentists or physiotherapists and one engineer. WHO on earth in their right mind would be a teacher?

Even our pastor's children in Auckland are no where near that field. One in IT, one in Fine Arts, another in Architecture.

I rant and rave... At Kuching, people ask my mum, "Does she like her course?" "Is she sure she wants to be a teacher?" "Why did she choose that course?"

I think to them, being a teacher is the last resort. To me, it is my first AND only choice. My dad was asking me how sure I am. I said that I know God would let me have the course of my choice and I know it deep inside me that He has a plan for me in teaching. I felt it. The feelings were indescribable.

However, it is not an easy walk. I had trouble with my application last year and there was this point where I thought I would be deported. My visa was running late and it seems like no end. I could not tell anyone what happened. I felt like it was my own business and no one has anything to do with it. All I did was leave it to God and pray that He would guide me. He did and here I am, a second year student... The free-est amongst my friends here. With the exception of Jin. Hahaha...

I've no idea what made me rant about this... JUST IGNORED IT LOH!!!

Thursday, March 8, 2007

LOL...

I was high yesterday...

Got a phone call from New World asking me to come in for a short interview. I was hoping that I would get the job... BUT nah... Didn't get it cz the time clashes with my church. Ok, God's first. Job's next... Mebe next to family, friends and money. HAhahah...

Keeping my fingers crossed that they would give me the job. However it was a great week too!! Had free lunches twice. Hehehe... Jessie's housemate cooked a bit more and shared. Hahaha... Cz I've been skipping breakfast and lunch. LOL.

Weeeell... Yeah.

On another topic... Edmund's ex-classmate in Miri is also in Auckland!!! Hahaha... LOL. Small, small world.

Wish me luck on that job and PLEASE GIMME THE JOB!! I need the money... I'll die without money and yes, yes, yes... Money is the root of all evil... Someone told me that every time I told him that he owes me money. Hahaha...
