3rd week in Nz.
Gonna start my 2nd week of work today after a long weekend getaway.
We went over to Nelson for a night and watched the Rugby World Cup France vs All Blacks.
The weather is still cold out here and i wonder when's summer gonna come.
Gonna fight with mussels layterrr, see y'all!
Music melts all the separate parts of our bodies together. Music was my refuge. I could crawl into the space between the notes and curl my back to loneliness.Where words fail, music speaks.

1st Week in NZ
Hello all,
It's my 8th day in NZ. Getting used to the life in NZ though the weather is still really cold now.
Been travelling a few places around South Island.
Chrischurch -> Blenheim -> Motueka -> Nelson and then we are heading back to Blenheim to continue to hunt for jobs.
Great eye opener and first time leaving off my comfort zone (home).
Learning to be independent and at the same time experiencing something different.
Meet lots of Malaysians here.
Thankgod that we managed to get a FREE car (subaru legacy) from Chris' friend and now travelling around is much much easier.
Before that we've walked under the rain and cold for few kilometers to ask for jobs in the vineyard.
Oh gosh hopefully by my next update i'd secured a job.
Cheers,
Rain

Trying to adapt to life here.

Hello all,
Am finally back from Macau/Hong Kong trip today.
First time going for a trip overseas on our own. It was a really great and eye opener experience.
I'm glad that i managed to bring the parents around and its actually not that scary. One thing you gotta learn is to be thick skin and dare to go up to the locals to ask when you need help.
I walked so much till my legs gone totally numb. I swear i've never walked that much eversince i was born. Good training for the legs and preparation for the coming trip.
3 more days till NZWH. Looking forward to explore the other side of the world yet a little heavy hearted to leave home.

02.03 am
Here goes another weekend.
Time is ticking away so fast.
Almost broke down in tears while driving back home tonight.
It's just one of the night that you feel like you've missed out so many things.
When the night creeps it, you feel insecure.
Memories. flashed back......i saw the shadow of myself.
Time passed but i am still staying at the very same starting point.
Fears.
Pang of nostalgic feeling.
Tonight i just want to hug myself to sleep.

Sabah Trip 1 *Sunset
I went to Sabah few weeks back with the family for 4 days 3 nights.
Sabah is so beautiful.....i can't wait to pay another visit to this place, am definitely gonna stay longer there cuz 4d3n is just not enough to explore the land !
Thinking of Tawau and some island on the next visit probably Sipadan island to get da freaking DIVING LICENSE!
View from the air
Hello sabah!
We stayed at Promenade Hotel. Didn't take any pictures because i think the hotel decor and everything is just so so...nothing much to mention about.
So after we checked in, we went to Shang Ri La Resort & Spa to catch the sunset there.
The resort is so beautiful! One night there cost around RM900 or more.
Imma earn more money and treat the family to stay there next time =)
At the lounge which is the perfect place to watch the sunset.
Super windy evening
The long awaited!
Nice place for couples on honeymoon ;)
After the sunset...the perfect dark blue sky
Dining area
A set of Gamelan at the resort lobby

Fly Away
So i'm welcoming another new chapter of my life.
A path that i've chosen. It was a impromptu decision and i'm really excited about it now.
Though there's so much of things here to let go, i'm not gonna regret.
I've been living in my comfort zone for so long and now maybe its time to have a change.

Sunday Evening At Taiping Lake Gardens
Photos taken back at June.
Decided to dropped by Taiping after Penang because i've seen beautiful pictures of the lake and i haven't been there before.
The Taiping Lake Gardens is the first public garden established during the British rule in Malaysia. It was originally a mining ground before being established as a public garden during 1880.
Loving this place
Raintrees and beautiful lake
The perfect place for a picnic

2nd round high tea at Delicious, 1U
The service was real bad, they forgot to serve us the choco fondue + chocolate truffle which was supposed to be included in the high tea set.
The one at Dua Residency is much better.

@live
Long hiatus and yeah people i'm still very much alive =))
Just got back from a short vacation at land below the wind~ Sabah.
It is such a wonderful place.....the people, the city, the food, the sea, the mountain etc. I'm falling in love with this place <3
Totally changed my mind that East Malaysia is boring, and i am so wrong.
Took a tone of pictures cuz the place is just too pretty.
Ahh well....missing the sun tanning moment now.....laying on the beach with your mp3, a nice book and also hot hunks beside you. Damn can't wait to go back there another time
Moving again end of this month. It's like i've been moving every once a year in this city. Moving and leaving for good for a period of time. I'm gonna miss this place.
Hugged and bid goodbye. Almost teared.
The student : aww....teacher please don't leave
Me : sorry i have to leave =(
The student : then i stop my piano for a year and continue when you're back!
True to be said as my mom told me this is the reward you get from your hardwork.
Appreciation and love.
I received the best gift EVER from the student's parent who treat me like their sister/daughters always inviting me to their house for dinner.
Whole set of winter clothing + a red packet *suprise inside was a 100NZD note
Was a lil' emo about leaving and letting go but oh well this is what you have to go through in order the gain something else.
This, is what make life interesting.

Ola people, its been so long ;>
Received so many goodies, souvenirs from friends and student these day!!
And today a student's mum whom i'm quite close to gave me a whole set of winter clothing *gloves, long john, jacket!
Super speechless and touched....and she always invite me to her house for dinner.
Priceless things that you get from your work is just so satisfying though sometimes they might give you headaches but at the end of the day i still love most of them so much*except a few evil ones
These are the moment you're gonna cherish.
And thank you roomie for the wonderful lunch.
Can't wait for a series of exciting stuff coming soon.

I've been bumming at home so much these days cuz the students are away for summer holidays.
And I reckon that the best way to save $$ is to not step outta the house so i'm being a good girl. But when i started flipping through Cleo mag with so many shit loads of temptations, the good girl starts to disobey.
The next thing i do is picking up the phone and setting a date to go shopping with the babes.
Sigh....damn fail la how to save more money like this? haha perhaps i'm gonna eat grass in kiwi land =p
Really enjoyed Dreamgirls tonight and around of applause for the local casts. They were great though it could have been better =)
Congrats to roomie for the goodnews. Am happy for you and hope that you'll finally enjoy yourself at that field.

Dreamgirls
Woohoo gonna attend Dreamgirls Musical tonight, am mad excited.
Originally a musical and made into a movie with Beyonce as the leading role.
I love love loved the movie version partly because of Beyonce!
*friends used to nickname me beyonce when i'm in highschool (really buay pai seh) haha cuz she was the hit that time along with some other singers like Sean Paul.
Watched it during college years and the song Listen by Beyonce is our favvvvourite song. We always sing the song at home when we used to stay under one roof (Ann, Von)
A lil disappointed though cuz i heard that 'listen' won't be in the song lists in the musical cuz it was written specially for the movie only =(
Another of my fav - One Night Only by Jennifer Hudson
