New Zealand!

Hi, so yeah, I'm in New Zealand, Auckland. Sounds exciting ei? I've always think that studying abroad is one of the best life experiences, I mean, yes it is. For those who had been asking me what am up to, okay this is for you :)

I had not yet believed that I've already started living all alone in the other side of the world, I've not accepted the fact that I've left for Auckland, for studies. Thinking of studying abroad, I have to say, what I've wished for has come true. When I was young, always had a dream of being not dependent on parents, study overseas and try to make a living. See, it came true. At this moment, if someone question me whether I'd go home if I'm permitted to or if I'm able to, I'd say... Yes, I want to, I will. Realizing that living alone ain't easy, always taking the responsibilities wherever you are wherever you go, now finally came to realize that my parents are awesome giving us the living, all the spending, all the tough earnings. Even now, still. That I've the guilt in me of spending for shopping for something that isn't necessary unless that I earn the cash on my own.

How's Auckland? Even without saying that for sure it's a nice place to stay for long run. Nice weather, pretty sceneries, wonderful place to stay. Personally, for my age, I wouldn't care how nice the weather is, how pretty the sceneries are, how awesome to stay for, what I needed most are, just family and friends. Thank God for having my sister staying in the same state, at least someone close to my heart :) My first week was when I had a culture shock of this place and have been yelling at the four walls in my room blaming myself for coming to Auckland. People here they have different lifestyles and that I would say, they are certainly different from us. Cheap beer, cold weather. What would that happen then? This happens everyday, oh dear. Not just that, so many more that I've lost count :/ Used to Skype and complain to loved ones, ugh I should just stop and try having it to myself. Time to grow up, trying to adapt.

I also thank God for Him who hears my prayers EVERY SINGLE TIME I pray, gave me a lil taste of home, not to be racist or whatever stereotype you called that, but I felt so much more comfortable getting along with asians. Met number of them and having a connection, the cosiness. They made me started getting used to living here. Second, I've started going church and cell group which I'm gonna stay with it for good. Had a great time with them and yeah they are good :) Thank you, Lord!

What am up to coping up with uni? Aw, have 4 papers to conquer for a few months, try to cope up as fast as I can though :) Everything's not bad after all.

Good day good day, still! Had some terrible experiences of having people stealing your groceries, having people to puke on you when they're drunk, having people to borrow money from you and not giving back, having people to use you as much as they could, having people to take your stuffs without having the manners to ask for permission. Yeah that they were bad times, but I'm looking forward to having real good times after all these. Always come a rainbow after a storm. So woo! :) I still thank God for all these experiences, teaching me how to survive in the battle, taking the lesson of being someone better, smarter, and not being bullied by the others hehe (:

Yeah I miss Malaysia, I miss y'all! :)
