It's late. I have lectures tomorrow. But since my blog hasn't exactly been bustling with activity of late, perhaps sacrificing a few hour of sleep to splash some colour here can't take that much of effort... Honestly, I have LOADS to blog about.. Lots of pent up thoughts, interesting facts, culture shock endeavours and strange encounters, seemingly, waiting to come pouring out. Yet, I feel that I need to be in a completely uninterupted stance for it all to come tumbling out with momentum... Right now, my room's in a mess from all the last minute cramming I've been doing for mid semester tests, my bed is dusty not from not being slept on but the edges are getting a little too cosy for the dust mites..
My study table.... eek! Don't even go there. And I'm seriously beginning to think that the carpet in my room is not safe to walk on barefooted thanks to gravel and unearthly sediments that have engraved itself within the nooks and crannies of the linings.... Wth...... Little wonder why I fell sick then eh? I'm practically living in a breeding ground for germs!!! I thought there weren't any ants in NZ. Until I saw them crawling all over my unwashed dishes a few days back. I have since resolved to do my dishes at a specific time every night.
Picture time!!!
During the mid semester break, we had a steamboat thingy majiggy. Or "Sabu Sabu" as declared by Joey. Went to an Asian store to purchase all the items and then it was hot pot time in our common room. Eating together and laughing about nothing in particular is the best form of happiness...

Picture time!!!
First.... Lemme present you with a fact........ written on the sand......
MMMMmmmmm! Yummy!! Apa itu??? It's yoghurt based ice cream at Yogur Berry on Princess Street. With an assortment of toppings... There were bananas, strawberries, melon, black berries, kiwi, white chocolate balls, chocolate balls, nuts, oreo cookie sprinkles, passion fruit and strawberry dressing. OMG! 9 scoops of heaven..........
When you put heaven in front of 4 hungry girls (ok...... we weren't exactly starving, it was just after dinner), what happens???? (fm left, me, Marilee, Su Lyn and Wen Chien... all 2nd year students apart from me)
.....here's what happens.....
During the mid semester break, we had a steamboat thingy majiggy. Or "Sabu Sabu" as declared by Joey. Went to an Asian store to purchase all the items and then it was hot pot time in our common room. Eating together and laughing about nothing in particular is the best form of happiness...
So here's our sabu sabu, and the masterminds behind it... Seated from left is Brian, Andrew, Darrell, Bobbie, Meeeeeee, Trish. And standing from left is Joey, Melitta, Joanna and Kalpa.
Melitta and me.... She's from Fiji and my gym partner. We go jogging at the domain together, gymming together and dine together all the time!!!
Trish and Darrell. Darrell's trespassing from Grafton Residence... LOL.. Apparently, he know Esther Liew and even lived at her place once. Small world I say! Both are JPA scholars, Darrell's in engineering and Trish's doin commerce.
Darrell and Bobbie. Bobbie's from Wellington and he's trespassing from Grafton as well. It's alright that they trespass though, since we're frequent visitors at Grafton.... where we sip on red wine and let our brains turn to mush. Bobbie's doing biomed and went to some prestigious united nations school in Hong Kong. Cool no?
Joey and Joanna. Joanna appears to be lookin elsewhere in all the pix coz she is apparently camera shy... Both are hoping to enter the medical world , ie, doing biomed.... I, however, am convinced that Joey is a master brewer on the side. He makes awesome herbal soups. Oh, and so does Joanna.... Both of them are HUGE on soups/broths. Joanna made me drink some tea with diced ginger and garlic in it when I was sick. I have no idea how that went down my troath but I liked burping after that... (i prob shouldn't have said tht). My point is, they're both quacks in disguise....
Macho guys..... Fm left : Kalpa, Brian and Andrew. Kalpa's fourth year med, an excellent cook and is like a tiny ball of energy that keeps bouncing off the walls. Brian's doing tv and media studies I think and shares an interest with Joanna in Joy Division. (if ur wonderin what the crap is that, I feel you....) and Andrew cooks for the entire residence hall. Seriously!!! He makes the best vege samosas ever.. amongst other things... S*** la.Everyone cooks so well! I feel so inadequate!!!
Me and Melitta yet again. O yea, Mel's doing health science and hoping to get into medicine as well.
Future doctor- Joey.... He's really funny la k... The way he speaks and his gestures....
Ok, digging in time...... I ate til bursting point coz everything was so yummy. Esp the square tofu thing!!
I bet there's no sabu sabu in Fiji eh Mel???
Me and Trish.... Joey was just snapping away.........
And he even got this one........
After dinner, Trish decided to start tutoring...... I'm not sure what that guy's name is....
And Darrell did a fair share of posing...
While Mel and Kalpa tried taking Joanna's picture. And caught Joey and me engaging in some sorta conversation.
It's 2 am. If I don't sleep now, I will collapse. And everyone I know think I'm insane to be updating my blog at this unearthly hour.
You have to love me for this!
xoxo
