No Video Blogging for Me... And the rest of this sh*t...

Sorry for the title... It's just what I think about video blogging.. Not that it sucks; it's just too hard for an amateur like me in video editing... Just too damn hard...


But, let me just recap back what has been happening because it has been a while since the last time I updated on this blog...


First off, I went back to Malaysia for the summer... Can't help it because my mother insisted that I go back... So, there I was in a very packed flight back to Malaysia... The best part? Not much has changed since I left! The weird thing is just that the environment is different and looking back, I now miss home even more than I did when I first came to New Zealand...


Secondly, my parents came over and visited me last year in December (this was before I went back)... And the trip turned out magnificent! My parents, of course, complained about the cold (come on, it's freaking Dunedin... Of course it's cold!) and they kinda groaned sometimes... But, they had a lot of fun and so did I! We visited Christchurch looking at the aftermath (my mother was literally surprised) and after that, we looked at the penguins... Too bad they can't stay long because my parents were only here for like a week so, there aren't many places that we can visit...


Next off, I moved flat! Haha... This was the best part of this new year! Apart from new and harder things to learn, I also get a new environment to live in... Not that there's a huge change, just the location (which is closer to my campus) and also the number of flatmates (from 5 flatmates to 1!)...


Anyway, third year degree is finally here and now I can't wait to finish and go back! It's a little contrasting to what my seniors have felt when they were about to leave New Zealand... Most of them said that they wished they could stay another year... But for me, even though 2 years is not long, it is enough to actually expose us to a very new and amazing culture that is not in our country... After all, the best part of living overseas is not the freedom to do whatever we want, it's trying those little things that is not available in our own country... Which is why most tourists enjoy visiting Malaysia because it is hard to find such vibrant cultures and variety of food in their own country...


Till the next post!


With all due respect,
