I'm in New Zealand.
I don't have an internet connection yet. I've subscribed to Woosh, which is a wireless broadband service but I need to get a booster first because I'm living on a hill and there's absolutely no signal here even though its in the coverage area.
I remember how Mr. Warren used to tell us in Moral Studies class that 'everyday is a good day". Here in Wellington, everyday is a bad hair day. It's freaking windy. I almost got blown off the street. I literally had to hang on to a lampost to prevent me from flying. Things here are expensive. There's no good food that's less than NZD 5. (Unless we buy a large place of mixed rice and share it with 3 people in Readings Cinema, which was what I did with my friends. =p) Books here are expensive. If the book is priced RM 100 in Malaysia, its 100 dollars here. Cosmetics are also expensive, although the acne treatment here is suppose to work wonders. Clothes are also really pricey. Friends of the family told me that coats should be cheaper here in NZ. It's not. It's the same price as in Malaysia. It's still expensive. I'm living in a hostel where nearly every Kiwi is doing either Law, Politics or International something. I've already enrolled. I'm taking 4 subjects each trisemester which is probably really heavy and I won't have much time for other things but hey, life is never only about studying and getting good grades. If that is how life works, geniuses won't have a care in the entire world. I've met quite a few people, made some really good friends. I went drag netting with the International Christian Fellowship people and realized that I'm more in love with beaches than ever. And at the same time made some friends. I don't eat fish but the fish and chips here taste good. My roomate is also from Malaysia and she's a Vic scholar. (Every year, the university gives out scholarhips to people from Malaysia and Singapore. This year, she's the only one who got it). I wish I was living near Oriental Bay. If I am, I'll go the beach every single evening. It's my place of solace.
Everything has been good so far. And I hope God will continue to keep me safe and happy. Continue praying for me yeah? I know this is an unusually short post for me but I gotta go know because they're going to close this place soon. Till then, tata.
