well....this week has been pretty busy 4 me as i was swamped with work this week......1st on monday i had my physics test....well i got my results back 2day.....gosh....i'm so terrible in explaining stuff....almost all the q's that had 2 do explaining were wrong....so in the end i got 31/42....ah....summore my accounting test last week.....i had my explaining questions wrong 2...i guess i'm really really bad in explaining stuff...uugghh....i wish there were just counting stuff then it'll b so much more easier 4 me....

anyway...then after my tap on monday i had 2 burn midnight oil 2 finish my eco assignment...cuz it counts marks 4 my bursary exam...it's not bcuz i din do it earlier....it's just that i got stuck n there were no ideas flowing....esp when i had 2 do the hypothesis......but alas....the 1st part is finished n now i'll have 2 start the 2nd part when i get back the 1st part!!!

then on tues.....as i was already tired...so tired that i actually came home 1st for a wee nap b4 my dance.....then after my usual ballet i had 2 finish both my calculus n chem assignment.....so i stayed up late AGAIN......

at least i got my much needed rest yesterday n 2day....but i still have some of the after effects...=) but now i feel much more better after my long afternoon nap (something that is pretty rare 4 me here)

so now i'm wide awake.....gonna write some mails b4 i do my homework so i can forget bout it....i just actually realised i have more h/w here than in msia....like everyday also got homework.....cuz if i remember correctly in msia i hardly had any h/w...just my own revision 2 do......

one more thing......i'm not in youth group 2day....basically 2 catch up with rest!!!!!(i guess this proves i really really need rest!!!)hahaha

Well....2 start off.....i can't believe that it's actually 2 more hours b4 i can eat again.......n i've done it......i actually thot i may chicken out 1/2way n give into my hunger.....as those of u who know me know that i cannot 'tahan' hunger n would b complainign 24/7

i guess....this really made me think of those kids in africa n parts of asia where they have limited food....i mean..i still had water n drinks this weekend but 4 them......they have hardly much food 4 days n weeks.....plus....they dun have access 2 clean water as easily as us......furthermore, i had much of sugar 4 energy (u know.....glucose) like all the juice, barley sugars......but then they dun have that either......

anyway..... those of u whom i got interested all bout the famine.....well.....check www.famine.org.nz out n c 4 urself!!!!cheers!!!!

well.......i'm soooo hungry!!!!!!hehe.....(for now anyway) that's what i get by starving myself i guess...i dunno can tahan till 2molo alaready..........i'm hungry...

anyway....well...the overnighter at church was actually nothing special lor.....2 b exact....it was pretty boring...1st we had our bible study as usual then i thot they plannned stuff 4 us 2 do but then i was pretty wrong........1st we were like asked 2 make our shelter of cardbooard boxes like those ppl in africa or something, so we started building it lor...actually like prettty lame cuz after it became like a stupid contest between gals n guys....after that we had nothing 2 do...so i sat n played the piano....then after that still nothing 2 do so i went 2 talk 2 some of our leaders n then i told them that i'm bored so then only they said....let's watch the movie....dun ask me wut movie it was (i'm still not sure of the title but it was something like The Count of Monte Carlo). so in the begining the movie was pretty boring...some kinda of like napolean bornapate time....probably 17th century or something (totally not my kind of movie) but then after a while the movie bcame interesting so then i watched it....that was until like 2 something in the morning....so after the movie i decided i was gonna sleep....cuz most of the ppl were goin 2 sleep already....so i went n put my sleeping bag into our 'shanty town' - the cardbox boxes room that we made but then i was like....aiyah....dun wanna sleep on the floor....so then me, joanna n another girl...we went in to the church hall 2 sleep there since the chairs were soft....cuz my churchs' centuary doens't really look like a church...looks more like a hall or something...so we were like gonna sleep there ...then after a while there were like a few guys who were like comin in a like hiding round the chairs....later more n more ppl came....n were like making more n more noice.....it was those ppl who cannot sleep lar....hehe....but then i was like 2 tired so i just slept!!!!!

so then this morning also nothing much 2 do......just cleared up the place n so on lor.....n now i'm so hungry (how many times have i said it already??)

plus....i'm also pretty stressed....cuz got physics test on monday.....still gotta study then got my eco asssignment 2 do....which i'm still pretty clueless....i'm even thinkin of changing topic cuz like stuck already!!!! imagine getting stuck 1/2way doin ur assignment!!!i guess i have 2 go n ask mr morar 4 help already....if not.....matilar....hehe

omg......i can't believe i'm in the international club n i din even sit n watch the race unity day performance that we supposed 2 organise.....=)

well.....2 start off...yesterday we were selling food but then it was all sold out in llike 5 seconds.....cuz of the lack of food n the enthusiaticness of ppl getting spring rolls n sushi......hehe..

anyway.....the reason i din watch the show is basically cuz i had 2 go n do my sharemarket game......well...we team gets $50 000 n we have 2 buy 'shares'...if only i have that in real money....hehe... so far my team is ranked like 114 over 200+ teams......gotta b better!!!!! http://challenge.nzse.co.nz that's the site we're buying the shares from.....(yea...the game is played over the net!!)

anyway..i actually dun think i missed much of that concert as joanna said is was so boring till she went off.... anyway i gotta c the begining part where the Poly Club did their thing and the chinese class singing a song......come 2 think of it.....it was pretty good i din stay there the whole time or else i'll b totally black n roasted!!!!hehehe....that's because 2 day it was so hot!!!really really good weather i tell u.....seldom get this....they say it's because of the spring equanocks (spelling?) where the sun is directly at the equator so becoz of the pressure there's no wind lor....but it was still scorching hot.....i think i'll prefer some light breezes...

anyway....gotta run as 2nite i'll b starting the famine......n i'll staying overnight at church!!!!

The time now between msia n NZ is now 4 hours!!!![yay]

as i change all my clocks here one hour backwards it means.......daylight savings is over 4 NZ.....plus i get an extra hour 2 sleep.......*grins*

but then...i'm still not that used 2 it yet.....2day i woke up extra early....only supposed 2 wake up at 8.45 for church ended up waking up at 7 plus.......

i hope i'll get used 2 it soon....imagine waking up at 6 plus 2molo 4 skool!!!!!!i'll b 2 early.....n i'll b tired 2 fast!!!!

2day i went fruit picking!!!anyway......it all went like this....

this morning when i woke up i wasn't even sure wut we'll b doin 4 the day....even thou we sorta planed we'll go fruit picking we weren't sure cuz dunno the weathers' gonna b good or not....so....

we woke up late 1st thing then after that Shana (one of my host sis) had 2 go 4 her skool's car boot sale so by the time we left the house it was like almost noon.....

so we drove up north....n stopped 4 lunch at Fisherman's table....i ate my long awaited fish n chips...i was wanting 2 eat that since last week...anyway....i wasn't that hungry...summore the salad came with the meal....n by the time i finished my salad i was already somewhat full......so by the time i finished my main meal.....lucky thing i shared it with joanna ler...

so after our lunch, we went 2 go fruit picking...at 1st i thot we'll b able 2 pick apples but then when we arrived there we realised that we couldn't pick the apples cuz not really in season yet n only counld pick them from the end of this month!!!so the only fruits we could pick was chillis, capsicum, some tomatos (most of them not that nice already cuz almost outta season), eggplant n some others....i was pretty disapointed that we couldn't pick apples...cuz i was looking forward 4 that.....*sigh* only can see apple trees growing.....hehe

so after that on the way back we went 2 Lindel farm (in that farm u c sheep n other animals) but instead of looking at animals, we went there 4 ice-cream!!!so i got an ice cream cuz it supposedly was nice ice cream n then we sat in the sun n ate it!!!!at least 2day's weather was fine - clear skies n hot weather...not many of these days that u can enjoy so....enjoy it while i can!!!thankfully i put losta sunscreen earlier in anticipation....if not i'll b so badly sun burned!!!

so that's my day.....an interesting outing......something outta my normal routine.....

signing off.......

i just realised that i havn't wrote anything for like over a week......more like almost 2 weeks.....signs of laziness.....but then i added different stuff last week so oklar...

anyway, this week has nothing special goin on cept 4 my physics test that i had....at 1st i was like dielar...but then 2 my amazement, the test was easier that i expected.....but then we'll only get 2 know the results next monday..

anyway i'm expecting next week 2 b a pretty hectic one.....esp the 1st 3 days of the week when i have all my dance classes....my first tap class last monday was tiring but then i remembered y i liked tap so much...it was so fun ....but then by the time class was over i was sweating like mad....even in a cold country.....i really missed my tap classes, so now i'll b goin 4 tap every monday!!!!

my 1st stage challenge practice was on wed....i dun really know the dance yet as we spent 1/2 the time talking bout our costumes n stuff that we only practiced the first few counts of the song!!!!so i'm still pretty blur bout it!!!!

i might b goin fruit picking 2molo if the weather is fine....sounds pretty interesting....i'll b going with my host family n mayb their frens.....so pray 4 good weather lor....

another day.....there goes another week....somtimes i really wonder how time flies.....

anyway..it's already autumn here.....thank goodness it doesn't feel cold yet....cuz these past few days were really warm n nice...it feels a bit like i'm back in malaysia..not so cold like last week which was freezing..

yeah..i got a calculus test 2 study 4 n the binomial theorm is driving me nuts.......at least the rest of them i had learnt b4.....then summore my physics i still dun get the circular motion thingy....sigh...looks like i would have 2 put some effort in my physics b4 it's test time.....

happening this month:

well....on the 21st of this month...will mark my 2nd month here (approaching my 3rd month!!)which is coincidentally the day which i have a day off school *yay* cuz of some teacher training and exactly a month after my bday........

talking bout 21st of this month will also b the 40 hour famine weekend....which i starve for 40 hours in 2 get money 4 ppl in need who need the money 2 get food....imagine how fortunate we are....there will b a over nighter at church......then we can starve 2gether!!!hahaha

i starting tap this month after a long break from tap...seems like ages althou it's actually just around 5 months......

test time: 3rd march - calculus test, 12th - physics test, 18 - 2nd econs test (bout elasticities n demand), 20th - 2nd accounting test (i really hope this one is easy as i learnt partnerships b4 in form 5), 24th 2nd physics test bout circular motion!!!

a big assignment 4 econs which the 1st stage of the assignment due on the 25th which contributes marks 2 my bursary (that's my BIG exam at the end of this year)

daylight savings will b over on 16th...that means we will put our clock an hour behind.....(now the time difference between msia n NZ will b only 4 hours) it also means winter is approaching....as it is now officially autumn already

20th - race unity day at school.....the international club suppose 2 arrange some stuff.....still in the midst....if we ever get ready by then.....*prays hard* oh yea....i'll also will b in a 'fashion show' which is more like parading our national costume....i'll b wearing either a baju kurung or a kebaya (borrowing one of my frens one!!)
