New Zealand: The Preparation, The Excitement, The Boredom...

Haha... Most of you might be surprised at the last word on the title, right? I mean, who would be bored if they get the opportunity to go to a country they've never been to before? Well, I shall start from the beginning...

The Preparation...
I guess all I can actually say about this is that I'm only prepared MENTALLY... Because believe me, with the date drawing nearer and nearer, who won't be prepared??

Even with my mom yelling, "You're acting like you don't want to go... Don't you want to?", I'm still not fully prepared yet... Why, you ask? Well, let's see...



Let's just say I haven't exactly done anything yet... I mean, look at the picture! Haha.. The only things that I've prepared are shoes, gloves, hat, scarfs and winter coats... And those doesn't actually cover EVERYTHING yet...




Those are the only ones I can show 'cause the others are back at our old house in Parit Buntar.. Hehe.. Those shoes were bought in 2008 from what I can remember... They still fit me, same goes with the gloves and hat..

The Excitement...
Should I lie to you? 'Cause I'm not TOTALLY excited about this.. Because truth be told, I'm kinda nervous.. Especially after I went shopping for dry food to be mailed along with my books to NZ... Everything just seems too real for me.. Not to mention that I'm not going to live there with my mom and dad, but my friends... Hmm... I guess the excitement's not that strong.. Which brings me to the boredom...

The Boredom...
Hah.. Why I'm bored? I DON'T HAVE MUCH TO DO AT HOME apart from doing the laundry, tidy up the house a bit and catch up with some cleaning in my own room... Should I post a picture of how my bedroom look like? I don't think you would want to see it.. Hahaha~~

Anyway, I still am packing and trying to wrap my head around the fact that it is now about a week until departure to NZ... All I can say now is that I can't wait to go back to my dear old house in Parit Buntar... Seeing those familiar faces for the last time before departure... Hmm.. Makes me want to cry out loud...

Till the next post!

2011: The Life So Far...

It's been a while since the last time I updated my blog, and truth be told, I don't exactly know what to write here anymore... Words of wisdom? I'm not worthy enough to actually ADVICE someone... haha...

Anyway, 2011 has started with a BANG and some HONKS for me, thanks to the fireworks in Lumut and also the harmonious honks of the warships in Naval Base, Lumut.. The celebration was done in a not-so-big-and-grand way at Wisma Samudera... hehe..

Oh, what else? Haha.. DRIVING LESSONS! Kinda lame, but yeah. I've just started taking driving lessons... Late, right? My own mistake, really coz I didn't take any driving lessons while waiting for the results of my college applications to come out... haha.. SILLY ME.. :p

Hmm... What else? Oh, LOTS AND LOTS OF READING! Which is actually a really good thing because that is a really good and healthy (and I mean 'healthy') way to actually spend your free time... I've finished Breaking Dawn, The 39 Clues #10, Pride & Prejudice, Northern Lights (The Golden Compass) and now I'm reading Chronicles of Nick: Infinity... After this? It's Inkheart Trilogy, which I will bring to New Zealand with me...

Also, we had our briefing earlier this week (18 & 19 Jan) and we've been told about our flight details... Wah, 3 more weeks and I'll be flying to New Zealand! AAAARRRGGGHH!!! Can't believe it that we actually flying there EARLY! I kinda expect we are flying on 15th and above coz we are registering on 28th Feb... I mean, why so early??? Hadoi...

And truth be told, I'm not actually ready yet to go there... There are still an abundance of things to do here, a lot more people to say goodbye to before I take off... Hmm... Guess time flies really fast, huh?

And speaking of time, I better stop here... I don't want to babble a lot about this.. Well, if I didn't update later this month, expect me to update from New Zealand!

Till then, have a good day/week/weekend!
