wow. i haven't blogged since october. that's like 4 to 5 months ago. even before A levels. man, does time really pass so fast? geez!

well, greetings from New Zealand! it's my second night here. so i can't say i'm a big fan of the place yet. even Yohana, or Nana as i call her, says that she understands what a big change i'm facing. they only have 1 mall in the entire city, and 1 cinema.and apparently even that's pretty pathetic. sigh. so i've basically moved from modern times to the stone age. sigh.....

well, for the sake of those who weren't there to see me off at the airport, namely yingxy, i better have a little more elaboration. so i had a small entourage to send me off at the airport. i am very touched and thankful to all family and friends who took time off to send me off. the list consists of my family, aunty allyson, yangx, aunty, uncle donald's family minus debbie and sam, and my 5 friends: Jiaying,yanqi, lou, yihui and joyce. i really now truly understand the feeling of being loved. all my aunts and uncles who gave me extra big ang pows and supported me and thought of me, i thank you all. i really am blessed.

i really thought i would cry on the plane, but fortunately i didn't. aunty allyson gave me her discman which she doesn't use anymore,so at least i had some of my own music to listen to. i was a little pissed off that i didn't sleep well on the plane, which is bad cos NZ is 5 hours ahead of singapore. so when we touched down at 10+ in the morning NZ time, it was only 5+ singapore time. and i'm NEVER up before 6. then i had to go through immigration, which was such a bitch cos i had visa complications, and when that was settled i declared that i had pineapple tarts and stuff so i had to queue up with the rest of the people and wait for an officer to open my bags and take everything out. ugh, thank god i had 3 hours before my connecting flight. the whole irony of the situation was that instead of taking my pineapple tarts, they took my po chai pills instead. -_-''' wth man.

so i finally went through after what seemed like forever, then proceeded to the domestic hall, checked my luggage in, got my ticket, and then waited a while until i was on my way again. when i boarded my domestic flight, there was this huge guy sitting beside me. he wasn't fat, just really tall and muscular, so i was still dwarfed beside him. and i felt sorry for him that he had so little leg room compared to me cos he was so big. then i noticed another guy in a blue shirt diagonally in front of me cos of his tattoo on his arm. i didn't think much of it as i spent most of the flight catching up on sleep. only after touch down and i stood up to get my bags from the over head compartment did i notice that the 6 or 7 rows in front of me were occupied by really hot, muscular guys all in the same blue jerseys. and i was like,wait, there is NO WAY that the All Blacks fly coach with the rest of us commoners. they surely must have their own private jet. then i saw their jerseys that said "blues", so i was like, ok. i KNEW the All Blacks wouldn't travel with us. so i got off the plane and met Nana, who greeted me at the arrival gate with my name on a card! i was so excited, cos i had never been greeted like that before!

so we were off for home, but before home, we made a detour to the supermarket to pick up breakfast supplies and then we came home! my room is quite nice, we just have to share the toilet. the house used to be a boarding house, so all our rooms still have numbers on them. :P i'm in room number 3. there are 4 rooms, a toilet and a kitchen. Nana is in room 1, and her godbrother daniel is room 4.he's pretty nice too. i actually thought he's kinda cute but he's waaaaaayyyy too short for me. :P he's really open and friendly so he's the kind of person that you don't feel uncomfortable with when you first meet. so i don't know who is going to have the last room, but for now it's just us 3 teenagers in the house, cos nana's mum is away in christchurch for business.

dinner that night was quite a fun affair. michael, nana's friend and former flat mate who used to live in my room last year, came over for dinner. he's doing medicine cos he couldn't get into dentistry. haha, how's that for a switch! then daniel came back and the 4 of use talked until 11+ at night. after that, 4 of us piled into nana's car to fetch michael back to his flat.

after coming home, i went to shower and all, then settled down to talk to mum,dad and sis on the webcam. we talked until 2am NZ time, and then i went to bed.

when i woke up today, omg guess what time i awoke. hold your breathe people. 4PM! YES YOU SAW RIGHT! 1600 HOURS! i was like,omg u have got to be kidding me. the jetlag knocked me out for like 14 hours! and it didn't help that it's summer now and we have really long days. the sky doesn't turn dark till 9pm. so i had no idea how late it was until i found my clock and my eyes popped.

i hurried to wash up and change and made a dash to my school building to settle my visa stuff and pass pineapple tarts to the accommodation ladies who were a big help to us the last time. i was too late for the bank cos everywhere closes at 5pm. then i walked to a convenience store to buy 2 bottles of water before coming home.

when i walked through the door nana was home already and she was cooking my dinner. we sat and talked while we ate then we watched my Prince Caspian DVD. then she went to take a nap cos of her long day before waking up again to fetch her mum that had come down from christchurch to see me. haha! i feel like a VIP! :P so i just met her mum and she's a gem. she's given me lots of good advice and she's really supportive, telling me that she really wants me to be a doctor or dentist too. i really wish she would be around more like a regular mom, but she's stationed in christchurch so i only see her about once a month or so. ahhh well. i guess we can't have everything.

right. so tomorrow nana says she wants to bring me to the farmer's market, which is something like our pasar malam. then she's bring me to The Warehouse to buy household supplies and get a phone line.

so yep! that's for the moment. my second day of a potential 6 years in New Zealand.
