Strumming Some Heartstrings

whoops. sorry i forgot to blog the last few days. haha! well nevermind. better late than never.

k. on sunday the 4 of us went to the otago peninsular. erm, i can't really describe how it looked like so if u wana know just go google images. nila, nana's mum has got some serious driving skills. cos to get there we had to drive the perimeter of the otago harbour, or at least i assume it is, and it's not exactly a straight road. there are some very curvy bends and the speed limit is 70. which in this case, means the SLOWEST u can drive is 70. not allowed to go slower than that. haha! total opposite of back home. so you actually have to have experience to navigate the way. finally we arrived and we got to see the sea and albatrosses, which is our national bird. they're a bigger species of seagulls,and some of their wingspans can go beyond 2m. yep. big bird.

on our way back we stopped by a pottery store run by this lady. daniel bought one of those cheesy valentine souvenir things, a key with the head shaped like a heart with a red plastic crystal. and the packaging says "you hold the key to my heart." we were all joking about how if he gives a girl that and she turns him down, she can stomp on it and say "here. you can have your heart back." LOL!! and also while he gives her the key to his heart, the key to his pants is a bonus. AHAHHAHAHAH!!! I was laughing REALLY hard at that one!!! :P and he also said that this kind of gifts is only better for guys to give to girls. cos if a girl gives the guy a key..... she's kinda suggesting something else..... :P

yep. it was a hot day and when we headed back, we had an early dinner. and after dinner, nila asked nana to give her a massage by walking on her back. it was really quite a funny sight cos daniel filmed it and he said if he just listened to the sound and not the video, the sounds were actually quite suggestive. :P so the 4 of us were laughing like maniacs over it. then the 4 of us went to the airport to send nila off. i think i was actually more sad than nana to see her mum go. cos she's so used to being on her own, but i've always been with my mum. so seeing my only mother figure go wasn't easy either. so the 3 of us youngsters piled back into the car and listened to music on the way home with daniel making funny comments and actions from the backseat. the guy is such a clown. :P

yep! so that basically completes sunday! monday nana had to work again and daniel had classes till 6, so i was all alone at home for the day. bored to tears i tell you! i thought back to how i spent my time at home in singapore, and i realised why i was so bored was because 1. i don't have my guitar with me 2. no cable tv. bummer. i tried to go to sleep early, at bout 9+ but i just couldn't fall asleep. so i put on my discman to lull me to sleep. but i didn't get a good sleep anyway. :(

so today was tuesday, and i woke up at 9am even though i didn't need to leave the house by 11am to walk to school. so i took my own sweet time to eat breakfast, wash up and change. at 11am i left home to walk to school for registration day. there the head of our programme gave us a welcome talk and we had to fill out some admin forms. for my health science course i had a choice to do basic math or calculus and algebra. so i chose to do calculus and algebra so i had to stay behind to take an extra math test. gosh, i hadn't used my brain in so long to do math, it was actually painful! :P but thank god it was really easy and i think i should be qualified to take the class.

i made 2 new friends today. one girl was called bellina, belle for short, and she's from malaysia. the other guy, steven, was from singapore as well, though he's malaysian so he doesn't need to do NS. i was touched that the 2 of them waited for me outside to finish my test cos i was checking my work. OH GOD I'M SO CARELESS IT'S DISGUSTING. anyway, so the 3 of us went to get our student IDs done. and as usual, i look like an idiot in my picture. ugh. i never have nice IDs. never mind. i'm not gona cry over it. then we went to get our lab coats before heading to town for lunch.

we ate at this restaurant called chopsticks 101. they serve asian food and apparently they serve huge portions for a reasonable price. but i didn't find the prices all that competitive. the lowest i saw for noodles was $8.50. and the noodles i ordered was pretty disgusting. salty and tasteless. YUCK. :( so i left quite a bit behind and belle and steven were asking if i was gona pack my food. no jose. haha! and halfway while waiting for our food, the was a blackout! and we were still waiting for our food so steven was like, "great. half cooked food." haha! but half or fully cooked, i don't think my noodles would have tasted much better anyway. when we finished we were the last ones in the store cos they couldn't have more customers with no electricity. belle walked to the hospital for her homestay family to pick her up, cos she stays on a hill and it's a bitch to walk up, especially in this summer heat. steven stays near me though he has to walk a little further. he stays on a hill too while i stay on the flats. so belle left us half way while steven and i continued walking. we found out we actually knew some mutual people so that was cool. and he's been in Dunedin for a month already and didn't spend CNY back home. i don't know man. i'd be SUPER pissed if i wasn't home for CNY.

belle wants to do pharmacy while steven wants to do medicine. i think they're pretty decent people so i hope we can see more of each other.

yep! so i'm home now and it's nearly 5pm. i think i'll go shower then watch a dvd or something. k. bye!
xoxo,
you know you love me
