1+ is a happy gal today =))
and she gets even happier after receiving a text lalala =)))))))
sometimes.. i really hate u, for making me living in this world of mine all by myself. .. for u breaking all the promises u made, for u leaving me alone, for u bringing me to heaven once and then pull me down, for u being able to move on so quickly, for u loving another gal now, as much as, or more than u loved me, for u having her as ur first priority now, for u making me the last to know about all these, for u making me to come to believe that we could have future when in fact we're getting further and further apart.
haha. don worry. not an emo post.
after so long, after a year, i think i can now.. let go and move on =)
we finally talked again after so long. maybe u didnt know. even till the beginning of this year, i would still cry thinking about u, i would still re-read our chat box history and cried myself to sleep, i would still talk about u in front of my friends unconsciously.. we have been together for so long.. and i.. after so long, finally realize that.. the breakup wasn't that bad..
i just wanna write this down. bear with me.
i had done a lot of mistakes, i blamed myself, i regretted, and yeah.. that's the reason why i still cant get over you..
but.. i think our breakup has given u a happier life, and looking at what u done for me when we were together, i think u deserve the happiness now =)
i am sorry. but i am happy for u now. from the bottom of my heart.
u said i've grown up, u said u learnt alot from me too. trust me, that makes me happy. because at least i did have some good influences on ur latter life, haha.. not just the pain i gave when we're together.
now that it's all over, we can actually talk more comfortably. u share ur life with me, i share mine. suddenly i dont feel sad anymore.. i know it's time to let u go and live my life.
i kept emphasizing that i have moved on, but deep down inside me, i know i still hold on..pretty much dwell in the past. haha. nz no guy ma. what to expect?
u said u would still feel heartache if someday i told u i had got a bf.. and i came to realize that.. we actually have a different kind of friendship. u're not my friend, u're someone special. and i wanna thank you for taking real good care of me for the past 3 years.
i was once the happiest gal on d world, when u showered ur love all over me. i knew i was ur precious one. i knew i was ur first priority in life. that's enough. =) i knew i was once loved by you.
we'll be 'friends' forever yeah? i know we have no fate to be each other's last one. but im glad.. at a certain point in my life, i got to know you, loved by you. and now we can still talk to each other, like old friends ^^
thanks ba.
be happy =) me too, i will..
good nite!
ps: err, while reading this, plz listen to 'better in time' by leona lewis. hehe. wooooo i feel like im acting in drama like that =P

1+: Once upon a time, there's a queen stays in a town named Wanaka (Part I)
1:06:00 PM
Hey there, sorry for the not-very-long absence, I've been out almost everyday whenever the weather is as lovely as me. freo-city-belmount-gardencity-dinner-movies-etcetc. havta really treasure the last few days of my 5-weeks-break before uni starts again sigh.
well after staying 2 days in Dunedin, we left for Queenstown, one of the most famous place of interest in New Zealand, I reckon.
remember me saying I had terrible toothache in Dunedin? went for dentist and it totally costs me a bomb. well after that the dentist asked me to get my own painkiller in a pharmacy nearby. I know I'm allergy to one of them, but don't really remember which brand. So I bought Nurofen.
while we were on our way to Queenstown, wasting our time doing nth, I had this sudden premonition that something real bad's gonna happen to me. But finally i fall asleep (as usual) after staring into the blank space for 2983374years.
when I woke up, I realised that my vision was very very blur.. and narrow. The feeling was complicated yet uncomfortable.
Define allergy?
BEHOLDDDDDDDDDD!
define suay?
so yes my eyes went so swollen that I could hardly see anything. I quickly took out my contact lenses. bought anti-histamine in a pharmacy nearby. butta the allergic reaction only went away after like 12 hours? Notice my right eye swelled at the eye lid, left eye swelled at the eye bag, how fun!
my swollen pig-like eyes just sucked up all my confidence of me. I didn't even dare to look the receptionist of our backpacker into his eyes when he was helping us to check in sigh.
ohya btw Southern Laughter is the first backpacker that I stayed in nz.
Queenstown has almost everything for a perfect vacation.
loadsa food,
Japanese food
lw with her chicken katsu
altho it's quite pricey but me loving it loads and loads!
sashimi don omgomgomgwtfbbqomg
and thai food too!
loadsa stuff to buy
loadsa souvenirs with reasonable price! regret for not buying more. note i still have swollen eyes in this photo.
loadsa stuff to do (well as long as u can pay)
poor students like us only pay for Mildford Sound tour and Skiing lesson.
Mildford Sound is ehem.. a river? A river surrounded by mountains, and the water is crystal clear that u can see the reflection of the mountains on it. Oh there are waterfalls too! Ahh I suck in description lar so what.
It was a full day trip, we took 34908347 hours of bus to a small harbour. I must admit that the scenery along the road trip was awesome!
see what I mean?
the bus driver even stopped so that we had the chance to.. explore snow? lol.
gosh this is my second time touching snow with my bare hands after 23093473486 years ago in Japan.
and the conclusion is still the same. the texture of snow is exactly the same as ais batu kacang. Ppl just wont believe me so Ive given up in convincing ppl la haih.
it doesn't look real at all right?
and then we went on a cruise and our journey began =)
I didn't really get to see the so called reflection of mountains on the river bla bla bla, but well the trip is very relaxing. we were just too busy enjoying the muffins and pumpkin soup provided (it's free ma!) and excited to be in a boat. we're just jakuns what to do.
we got even more excited when the boat went terumbang-ambing (omg my malay is still very good can!).
some even thought that they were in titanic the movie.
and and and
I saw DOLPHINSSSS!
dolphins are sooooo cute! i was in a rush to take their photo that I knocked onto the deck and got bruises for my leg.
the whole trip is.. $110? Correct me if i'm wrong I don really remember already la.
And YES we went skiing! at Coronet Peak.
It's a very special experience for me, I totally enjoyed it although others were constantly complaining how tiring it is.
We were provided the clothes and all the equipment. We paid for 2 lessons, taught by a 60-year-old guide (what's his name again?). He's very friendly and cute! Altho we totally suck in skiing, he was being so encouraging he never feel bored dragging us back to our position when we just skied to another world of our own hahaha
who wanna go skiing again with me? =p
ohya the 2 ski lessons, including transport, equipment, clothing are about $195. there goes our $$$
meanwhile Jai and Moli went for Bungee Jumping together, so nice! which inspires me to force Miss Sarah to have the reverse bungee with me in Auckland heh.
and there was this winter festival the second day we were there! so nice can! everyone went on the street and celebrated together, there was fireworks too but we were having dinner in a thai restaurant, food is so so so so so much more important than fireworks okay so we just ignored although even the cook and staff rushed out to admire it haha.
omg this is such a long post
at night we went to Minus 5 Bar too!
A bar made of ice, i mean everything!
the chair
we had to wear the humongous jacket provided as the temperature maintained in the bar is only minus 8?
even the glass!
we paid 35bucks for 30mins in the bar, provided one glass of alcoholic cocktail.
the deco
I remember ordering a cocktail named "flu remedy" and yucks it really tastes like one. but I started loving it after having more into my stomach.
the table
Don't ask me y my tongue and lips never stick to the cup u guys watch too much Happy Tree Friends!
1+: And suddenly it's like we're women and men.
4:48:00 PM
when u asked me whether i'm okay or not, for not replying ur text for quite some time, i said i'll be fine and i shall stand up i'll never give up
u said "yes! this is the super smart that i know"
i felt the warmth =)
**
it was raining so heavily, yet the umbrella is so small, the tiny bus stop was full, we were waiting for bus in the heavy downpour.
u checked the timetable and said "arghh 5 mins more!"
i gave u a despising look, "it's only 5 mins stop complaining!"
when we finally got onto the bus, i poked on ur wet jacket and asked "how come u're all wet?"
u showed that annoyed now-only-u-know-face and said "it's all bcoz of u okay!"
only then i realised that although u were the one holding the umbrella, it was all used to protect me from the rain.
i really wanted to say thanks
instead, i pointed to my flats and said "seem like u're not doing a very good job, my shoes are still wet"
u gave me the usual =.= look
although i know u're so not gonna read this, just wanna say i feel really grateful to have u here as my friend.
and yes Get Smart is so funny, i love random movie session =p
**
oh and thanks for everything last night. the dinner, the company, the rate, the effort to get me a stitch doll =)
**
dark knight is not just another hero-wins-villain movie, i love it for it depicts the true mankind that we thought we've lost in the way of pursuing materialism and individualism. deep inside everyone of us, we still believe in each other =)

got plastic cut at my index finger, yea u heard me, plastic cut, and it really hurts. so don feel like blogging about my nz trip atm.
my hair is sooooooo long now that melvin said i look like a pretty pontianak, ive decided to have a hair cut today, but when i reached the salon i just walked away. don feel like cutting la how? T__T
since the babi weather refrains me from going anywhere, I shall start blogging about my trip!
although the first city I reached was Christchurch, we spent only one night there and then took early bus to Dunedin the second day, the most (almost) south city in New Zealand. freaking 5 hours okay!
it's the first time for us to be exposed to typical scenery that can be seen in Fernleaf Milk adv, sheep, cows, snow capped mountains and lakes. We were so jakun, as usual, looked in amazement. I was like "so the saying that the amount of sheep is more than homo sapiens in nz is freaking true!"
At about lunch time, we reached Dunedin, welcomed by Moli and Puai Yee. I never really talked to Puai Yee when we were in Intec (because we were never in the same class or clique?), but hey she's such a nice and friendly gal! she even bought me muaci from a korean grocery store awww
Trust me, Dunedin is all about walking! I guess 80% of the roads are steep and we had to walk everywhere as the town (oh wait issit a town or city? lol) is not really big .
and it was real cold over there. when we reached chch for the first night, we were like ohh so nz is not THAT cold afterall, so we happily wore tees and jacket (yes without thermal) to Dunedin, but we ARE SO WRONG! Can u imagine it's only 10degree celcius in the afternoon? When we finally got smart and wore 4 layers of clothing plus beannie plus gloves, my nose still hurt due to the extreme coldness.
but anyway Dunedin is a very small, beautiful, peaceful city. It's like u won't have to worry about anything in this town, the hustle and bustle of city, the stress no, nothing. Everyone lives in harmony and u can feel the warmth no matter how cold the weather is.
**note: special credit to Puai Yee for the photos! =) **
The two pretty hosts brought us to their uni,University of Otago, first (actually I don't really remember the chronological order haha).
and I came to realise that Maori language is pretty important in nz, almost every english title or name comes with Maori translation.
Unlike Curtin, Otago does not really have its own uni area, as in the uni buildings are spread all over the city, but hey Otago is just as pretty as Melbourne Uni!
the clock tower in Otago. It's so nice right? I love Hogwart-ish buildings, a lot and a lot! y la we don have anything like this here T__T
we met a few malay gals who also came on vacation from oz! I simply love this photo =)
sometimes the scenery is so mesmerising that we want to explore it more,
like chasing ducks in uni
then we walked about 30 minutes out of the city to the World's Steepest Road, Baldwin Street (according to Guinness Book of Record). Wow sounds pretty cool right?
we were so jakun that every time we walked pass a street, we would be like "eh eh eh eh is this the one?", then moli and puai yee shook their head very very hard and said no, the cycle continued.
by the time we reached, it's almost 5 and yes during winter 5pm is the exact time when the sky gets dark.
initially we planned to conquer the street by running up and down it several times (some planned to have a match some more), but it was freezing cold and gals like us, who are not really good in sports, got so exhausted when the botakwin street came into sight.
see! it IS steep! the houses around look like old folk's home to me, can't really imagine if obasan ojiisan havta climb all the way up to their home okay i'm just crapping.
so we camwhored instead!
baldwin far behind us, we din even bother to walk there to take photos.
And we went to the infamous Cadbury Chocolate Factory in Dunedin!
the ticket costs me 14bucks. I guess cadbury is real smart in earning $$. the whole factory is purple in colour, the fav colour of st, claire and "sien" omg i must stop gossiping, like now!
I'm never a choc lover. don't u think choc is just tooooo yuckily sweet? my throat will feel very uncomfortable if i have more than 2, yea i know i sound weird as a gal, who's supposed to go awwww whenever she sees choc.
but anyway i still befriend mr.cadbury okay!
before the tour started, we were given a briefing by a very cute lady in a very cute purple overalls.
she speaks really really fast and i can see that she loves her job very much dunno y.
then she brought us around the factory, introduced us to different kinda choc (ewww..!) but photos are not allowed in there so sorry!
and we got free choc!! best part of the tour muahahaha. even more if u can answer her qns correctly, like.. how many ppl in this world is eating this choc and etc
the whole tour thing didn't take long so after that we went to Anzac Square, Dunedin railway station which is well-known for its unique architecture.
the wind was ultra strong that time. my hair was messy like hell so no camwhore photo will be posted here heh.
we went to George Street, the only street Otago-ians hang out (claimed by Puai Yee) to shop.
we were in Jayjay, waiting for Puai Yee to try on checker, out of the blue, it started to snow!
although it's just mild snowing, the snow disappeared as soon as it touched the ground, i still felt very excited!
we were like "omg is that snow? faster take photo fast!!" and some kiwi students beside us sighed "arghhh it snows again!!" eh they should be more grateful okay! tsk tsk tsk *shakes head*
we went to Capers Restaurant, famous for its humongous pancake.
the pancake is filled with all sorts of fruits and it consists of 2 layers! so filling can!
it doesn't appear yummy to me, so I got myself fettuccine carbonara
which is a 3-coloured pasta? it is so yummilicious i love it so much! i wanted to get myself another plate but it is very very exp.
and then the most important part of Dunedin stay!!!
authentic malaysian food prepared by Tharma and Moli!!
at Tharma's house. see how happy they are to prepare food for us?
and trust me, they can cook very very well! i'll never cook for them to reveal how sucky my cooking skill is haha
but too bad i had this sudden toothache that shut me up for the whole night. sigh. hence the emo post from dunedin 390848734 years ago.
i went for dentist the next morning, thinking that i cant really endure the pain for another 21 days. Moli is being so nice that she woke up early at 0830 to check and call the dentist for me. She even walked me there, when everyone was still sleeping soundly, and waited for me patiently in the clinic. Moli i really owe u a big one! the instant noodle that u asked from me doesn't really count =p
anyway after that, we camwhored again. as Tharma was the only guy, surrounded by 7 pretty gals..
notice the hidden meaning of this photo? 7 gals serving our king! Puai Yee with garlic, Jai with cards, me holding his crown, yf presenting magazines, lw with oranges, yt with med, moli who's not doing anything will be eliminated very soon hahaha.
and I found this very cute crossword puzzles on Tharma's fridge.
and we had fun forming weird sentences, such as
and..
me no speak englishy =p
despite the extreme weather and forever steep roads and streets, Dunedin is special in its own way
Moli, Jai, Puai Yee and Tharma u guys are really good hosts can! although we only spent 2 days together, i really had loads of fun, and thanks heaps for the meal!
fyi, this is only the first 2 days of my nz trip. heh.
