Malaysian Ball

Went for the Malaysian Ball at Rendezvous hotel.

was in the fashion show program, it was fun! I had to model two dresses:
- 1st was a rather elegant dress: it is made of silk- knee length, high waist,dark colored (mainly green and black)- with somekind of flower/ circle pattern on the it.
- 2nd is a rockish dress: it is black with sequins on the top, bosom part, chiffon bottom with black linings beneath. This dress was matched with a pair of boots, some bangles, and beads. (I had to wear a black undie underneath cos the dress was pretty short and the lining wasnt thick enough.)

Comments from friends are: "u looked so fierce for the 2nd dress, totally in character!"

I was told that the audience became quiet when I came out cos I looked like somebody killed my husband. hahahaha.... ok, she didnt really say that, but she said I was cool and looked fierce?? hahaha. So, it's either my stage presence of exceeding coolness that causes that or I'm too unfriendly? hopefully it's not the latter. haha

oh, my makeup probably boost my fierce-nest, like 80%. cos the makeup artist used dark brown smoky eyes effect,dark eyeliner, and dark bloody red lips. Plus my hair is curled and messed up.

I personally think that I look like a vampire. haha.

oh and the camera guy- his name is Yang, is soo cute!! aaaahhh!! hahahahaha. He's 16yrs old.. ==lll cute as in, he has the jappy/ korean hairstyle and overall good fashion look. And a gentle voice, lol.. total bishionen~ the uke one too! ahaha.. can put inside manga. omg, hope that he doesnt read this or he'll prob kill me.

ok, btw, that is just my crazy obsession with pretty boys.. so yeah, it's not like I'm falling in love with him or anything.

The rest of the performances are a skit and band.

there are 3 bands, all with different type of songs. 1st one is the 'heavy rock/metal' band, 2nd is the 'jazz, slow dance' band, 3rd is the 'old skool' band.

the skit was really funny, bout malaysian idol and stuff, there is also a 'joker' (from batman)in it. The joker's good, very funny.

Now the food,...
maincourse is great, few kinds of salads for u to choose from, mutton with curry, fish, salmon..etc
desert was ok.. the apple pie is nice, but the others such as the passion fruit mousse, pavlova with kiwi fruit, walnut cake?, custart pie?, are all toooooo sweet. My friend can practically feel the grains of sugar in the pavlova.

U should see how me n my 2 friends get the deserts.. haha, we are like, okay, so here is a slice of cake, lets cut it into 3pieces and each take one.. and i'll be like: "i want the smallest!!"

Oh during one of the band performance, the slow dance one, it is such a torture for the singles.. aaah so jealous! I also wanna dance!

It irritates me to see other lovey dovey couples in their own little world. and then u start thinking bout ur sad life. bla. where is mine??? bloody hell...

Yeah so that's about it.. pictures will be uploaded soon. when i get it form my friend.

Shopping!

Yay, went for shopping with aunt Rachel at a second hand shop in north cote!

Wow, things are really cheap there, and good quality too! I don't mind at all buying from places like these! XD XD XD

There sooo many choices that u can practically spend the whole day shopping there!

Aunt Rachel was very helpful, we choose the clothings together, and got like a whole bunch of clothes in the trolley!

Went o the fitting room to try everything out, it's good that aunt Rachel stood outside and passed me clothes as i tried it on, this the first time I experience buying clothes with a partner, and the fun of it! I hope aunt Rachel's not bored..==lll since I'm doing most of the shopping. ^_^; i'm so glad she's there to help me~

I bought 3 tops, 1 skirt, 1 rainproof jacket, 1 handbag for 47 nz! The best thing was the jacket was on special n I got it 1/2 price! It cos only 7 nz!! And it's of good quality n on top of that looks really smart too!! Two of the tops r branded too! U wouldnt get this price in Malaysia~

We proceeed to Aunt Rachel's house n had some tea. We had some cookies too, both made by aunt Rachel herself! wow! It's really delicious! She made two, lemon and oatmeal cookie (consist of sunflower seed, pumpkin seed, chocolate chips,n oatmeal. It's superb! I was gonna suggest her to start a homemade cookies line. haha. But I think it's not easy making it on your own, especially if u r making a lot. ooh, we had english tea too! waah!!! English tea n cookies !!! That's sooo english! haha. I've always wonder how it feels like doin that- I've only read that i novels. Ahhh~~ and eating that in a homely surrounding, with relatives, on a small white table, looking out the kitchen window towards the garden, cool wheather, waaaah~~~~~~ dai sukiiiii!!!!!!

I really love the wheather here!!! Well, maybe I should wait till winter before saying that, haha. i heard it's gonna rain a looot. ==lll

But the air is really good over here! I never had sinus at all! waaah!

Oh, I borrowed some Santa Clause clothing, a toy knife, and a bandana from Aunt Rachel! haha. Because our hostel is having a 'S' themed 'party' next Friday. We are suppose to dress up as anything that starts with an 'S'. hmm, santa clasus (kind of hot though the costume, maybe i'll go for Sinbad. I'll need a sword for that though.

Before dropping me home, we went to WoolWorth to get some plug in mosquitoe repellant, n adapter.

Tried the adapter back home, ahh, can't fit in the mosquitoe repellant, stupid furnishing blocking~~~ boo hoo~~ T_T

SO overall, today is like a shopping day, haha. But really felt the pinch when they swipe the card, haha.. it's a good experience, manage n budgeting ur $$.

There is a danger of overspending though, because it's a card n u can't see the amount. Need to be reeeaaally careful.

I serioously need to be more kiam siap, seriously. Save save save!!! SAVE!

I can actually spend a lot of money if I don't control. Not mentioning being reeally wild, n uncontrollable.

haha, that's y I'm always so uptight bout certain things. Such as Diet, excercise, going out, partying.. etc.

ANd yes it does takes a lot of fun away.

And it make me a little anti social too. ==lll

Gee... I'm so asian. lol.

hmm, nowadays, I'm quite anti social in the dining hall, haha, lazy to go mix around liao. It's always the same questions.. "hi, where u from? what u studying? how do u find it here?..etc" blaa... and forget the fellow's name two seconds later. heck, forget everything after dinner. oohoh, n when u ask questions, they will always go "huh?" *u repeat Q* again they go "huh?" ... then only get it when u repeat it the 3rd /4th time. *swt* maybe it's the noise/ different accent/ I memang very hard to understand- I do have a tendency to talk gibberish, cos wanted go right to the point, n brain talking but didnt come out fr the mouth; only part of it came out.==lll

NICAI orientation, Formal nite

It's the National Institute of Creative Arts and Industries (NICAI) orientation today.
That means I have to go too.

It was ok, except for the loong (15 mins actually, but felt very long) introduciton to NICAI n it's goals... ==ll Aiya, dun need to tell intro that la, i mean like, we have already joined the programme ma, it sounds like she is promoting this programme to non auckland Uni students. Soooo sian, nearly fell asleep.

One of the activities is the amazing race competition. Didnt really felt like doin it cos my stomach's empty and growling. haha. But Tim seems (he's from IH too n doin the same programme) to be very eager bout it. I tagged along, it's an individual task la, but we team up; too bad for me, this time no 2nd year friends to help out..haha. SO both of us blur la a bit, good thing we teamed up, at least I felt more confident. He not as blur as me la..haha.

We are supposed to do tasks that requires you to run around the NICAI buildings- which I'm have absolutely no idea where is where. I know where the boxing , gym, n shopping places are la. haha. Plus the fact that the Buildings themselves are weird, i's not really easy to find ur way around. The structures are weird (well it IS an arts building)..@_@

Anyway, after asking a few people for directions n answers haha, we finally finished the tasks. We ran to the place to hand it in, and realize that u dun have to rush actually, cos as long as u pass it before 1.45pm it's ok. Dang, so we ran for nothing? haha. Good workout though.

Had barbecued tofu sausage n some salad for lunch, with a Jazz band playing background music. Then we had, some questions n answer sessions, where u win prizes. Didnt win anything, was close though. But nvm, that's not the whole point of this orientation anyway, at least I get to strenghten my ties with Tim. haha, I sound like a politician or smth. teruknya~~

Tim was nice enough to bring me to put in credits for my printing n photostating account. Cos I have no idea where it is. haha. And nice of him to ask whether I had anything else I wanted to check out or do. Wah, so helpful, i was thinking he'll head back after the orientation. He actually helped me in the music library too, asking whether i want to print the enrolment page out, cos I was doin it the traditional way, pen n paper. haha. ==lll That is when we realize I don't have $$ in my account.

We had, formal dinner today, I wore my blue cheongsam, with a black slacks, wore contacts n some light makeup. haha, I guess this is the first time my friends see me dressed so proper? Not in my usual 3 quarter pants n T shirt. haha. See~ I can look pretty too, if i wan to. =p

It's quite fun, drank some wine, and tried NZ's famous desert, pavlova - a large meringue filled with whipped cream. It's very sweet... wah, malaysian oso tak tahan. Good to eat when u have large sugar cravings, u will just need to have one or two tablespoonful of it.

new friends!

hehe, met a new friend through alena today.

She came visiting in the afternoon, i was free cos didnt go for the long bay beach trip. cos 'm stingy and i kind of still have my period. although surprisingly very little. i think it lasted only for 3-4 days? weird.

So, alena, we watched some animes n pvs, wow, uruha's really pretty! i'm mean like, how often do u find guys with pouty lips? not mentioning his erm, sexy thighs?? haah. but i have to say that sakito from Nightmare has the nicest midrift. Oh, the animes were hilarious! it's so random! lol

walked Alena to the bus stop, and met John there. He's something like a family friend of hers'. It seems that John plays in the french horn in the youth orchestra, wow, and he's studying masters for civil engineering, and seems to be an ardent christian too! O_O

He is supposed to go for an orchestra like in 3.5 hours time. So we lepak around la, he toured me around the music faculty; we went to the practice rooms and he played forest gump by memory on piano. He's not a pianist, he only learned that piece cos he likes it a lot. It's like so random, he just finds a room and plays it, wow!

Then we proceed to the business building, which is new. We sat at the sofas on the top floor, n chat about how his parents came to NZ during the recession (parents r M'sian), their struggles, NZ education, life, Malaysian ed. sys, stupid quota stuffs, food, he can cook! haha. unlike me, steam everything, gau dim. ==lll

Went back to International House for dinner together. I didnt know that non IH students can eat here too, they can get coupons in sets of ten meals. It's cheaper than eating out, cos around 5-6 NZ i think. Eating out will cos aound 8-10nz. It's cheap and u get a balance diet, lots of veggies, meat, and fruits. Sometimes with deserts.

Great to have met him, and Alena otherwise my day will be a real boring one cos I did not join the trip to longbay beach. U need to get the 'o week ticket' which cos 40 nz. it consist of a couple of trips such as the museum trip, longbay beach, rainbow's end (theme park), S party. 40 nz is like 100 ringgit! ok, i'm kind of the kiam siap la, but i can think of so many things to do with that 40 nz. haha. such as buying my drugs.

What kind of seme are u?

haha nothing to do , did this quiz~

What type of seme are you?





You are the Angsty seme! Indifferent and emotionally cold, you seem totally reluctant to have any kind of real relationship for fear that you will get hurt / they will get hurt / someone will get hurt / etc. This is probably due to a dark depressing past which you will only open up to in time.

NZ

ok, for everybody, that's wondering y there's nothing comin from me. THis is the update.

1st day- tired, hungry, bluuur, (alien surrounding, made new friend in airport just before boarding- sat tgt cos i have two seats, she's fr NZ n she's chinese n she's into animes, jrock.., waited veeery long for luggage, took long time to unpack, super irritated cos hp not working, even when aunt call fr auckland itself, can't contact through voipbuster too cos didnt get the code right, plus i'm tired n hungry (didnt have lunch) so can't think clearly, n mum keep bugging me bout contacting her, n i have other things to worry about such as bnk account, payments, n stuffs. Missed dinner, cos the smart ass chef wanted to leave early n didnt put up notice, WTF?? even the Resident Assistant told me the wrong time (guess she doesnt know), damn hungry , go out and buy can tuna- pissed off cos i dun wanna spend money. oh, and my toes hurt like hell cos shoes not fitting properly. =( (hav blisters the next few days- which i poked it open, n it healed)

2nd day- did all the bothersome stuffs, bank account, get hangers, n some other misc stuff. Walked around the city area, checked out boxing studio, n landmarks.

3rd day- went for boxing trial class (quite far- takes 20-30 minutes), bad day, was raining from morning till nite, I was drenched upon reaching the studio. Wind here is very strong, almost blew me away, seriously. I mean like, come on, wat's this? it's suppose to be summer! wanted to do a lot of other stuffs but can't cos everything close. damn. and my draft will only be cleared by wed.

4th day- went to church with aunt, walked to foodtown to get some stuff.

5th day- orientation in morning, uni tour, freebies, signed up for gym.

6ht day- at last! went for gym, uni gym rocks! it's soo huge, bigger than EITP in SS2, it has a boxing studio too!friend came to visit, after she left proceed to britomart to 'the warehouse' to get some mosquito repellant cos stupid mosquitoes bitting me, though they wouldnt hav mosquitoes around here.


7th day- went gym, participated in scavenger's hunt (organize by hostel) around the city, omg, we walked from 1.30 to 5pm; practically walked fr one end to the other of the city, my legs are soo gone by then- it's not even road u noe, there are hills here and there..agh... good thing there is a human map with us, there is 5 of us, the other 4 are exchange students from korea, they spaek really good english! exactly like the americans! I was the only 1st year student in that group, which was great, cos they solved everything. hahaha. well, I'm clueless when it comes to direction. I got lost in my hostel the first two days.

Overall, I've been mixing with a mix of asians and westerners, trying to not stick with the koreans all the time, gotta explore a little ma. hehe. But I still find it easier to converse with asians (even though they are locals). Haven't really got hold of the topics of 'guai lous.' The rarer international students are, russian (1), Briton (1), Holland (1).

oh, and their favourite expression is 'sweet~' 'cool~'

oh, and we have communal toilets haha, guys n gals using the same one. cool~ weird having a guy brushing his teeth beside u when u r washing ur bra .. lol (has not happened to me yet), and guy walking pass ur room with u hanging bra n undies at the doorway. rfol.

Valentines day

Made valentines gift for K.

Was thinking that I should do smth for K too, since he's the one that pays for most of our outing.

Irritating part is, I couldn't find my tools, where is my toolbox?? Anyway, managed to make the gift after some delays (I hate delays).

Was thinking of what to put inside the jar- the gift, hmm.. chocalated? but K said he's been eating too much chocalates and CNY rubbish, which in turn gave him some cough n he's voice changed. ok, how bout the protein bars he's been wanting to get that day? ok, seems like a nice enough idea. Yeah, nice idea, but I can't find it in Savemart. Thought Kiwi fruits will be quite nice too (since it's healthy), bought 2, went home and try to fit it in, damn, it's too big! aaargh~~~!

Okay, I ended up buying a bunch of bananas, and took one out to fit in the jar, which fits perfectly! yay, looks funny too! haha. .and a little naughty. =p

I'm sooo not gonna follow the typical valentines gift, have make it different, with a touch of Huey in it. hehe. and of course it's cheap! You don't need to spend a whole deal on presents really. It's the sincerity that counts. for me at least ==

We had dinner at Vintrys (i think that's the name) at Jaya33, the food suck, big time, DO NOT GO THERE unless you enjoy eating canned tuna, and tasteless spaggetti, and paying through your nose.
