palmie's intro

hey there. i have safely reached palmerston north yesterday.sorry for the late notice as it was rather late when i reached.and most shops are closed during the weekends especially that late.thankfully the office is open this morning so i could online now.internet was rather expensive though. $35 for a month.oh well, had to cz internet's so important.

i landed in the airport at around 7 i think. which is probably 2 in malaysia. well, when we were in auckland waiting for our connecting flight to p.n. , it wasn't that cold. so we thought "hey,that's not that cold.i can wear t-shirt around :)".but that thought changed when we arrive in plamie and the wind was so cold when it blows against you. its actually rather sunny here but the wind is definitely cold when its blowing. at night, i just want to cuddle up on my bed but the bed itself is cold.eeeeeee......

so yest i just settled down and unpack my stuffs.damn it took me so long. and i should have packed more stuff since the max was 23kg..wasted my 2.3kg.could have brought so much stuff.regretted.ahh....well...i have 2 hse mates so far.4 ppl stay in a pod(i think that means a hse...smtg like that).one is judy who was from same college..lucky i got the same hse so i have someone i know already.then there's keira from canada.she's really friendly.and we're all taking vet science intermediate.so cool.the other one...she hasn't moved in yet so we dunno who she is.

today afternoon we had orientation for all international students. so there was some talking and they took us for farm visits which were much more interesting. we went to a total of three farms, all massey's and they are the dairy farm where they milked the cows,the deer farm where they showed us 2 deers and finally the sheep farm which i think was the most interesting one. oh sorry i did not take any of the pictures over there.

erm,well so far, i feel good here.people are friendly-seniors were extremely friendly and tries to help out all the time,r.a's drops by to see if we're fine and all. :)just that i'm still not very used to it over here.the weather and everything is still very new.and everything is not as cheap as in malaysia.well i hope everything goes well from

below are some of the pictures that i just took.i haven't been to a lot of places yet so there's not much. only in my room. i'll take more pictures as i go along..probably on visits to the city and as i explored the campus. :) thanks especially to my friends who sent me off : mel,abraham,joanne,pinky,che che and to those called or who i know would have came if they could...amy,lei,jane,sulin,erin,eunise,jira,nel,rach,teeni,tianwei,nadesh,winny,weiwei,sim mee,remi.....and all my other friends(please don't be mad if i didn't write yr name cz i didn't intend not to write) and of cz my family. :) i'll keep you guys updated soon now i have internet in my room. hopefully i'm as enthusiastic and free cz this does not happen often.hehehhe.....




oh these ducks came over to my room at night. my hse mate keira says they peck on the window (should be for food) so i fed them some cereal i got for free. :)

and this is my cupboard where i put my shoes and clothes...well...i haven't got any hanger yet so... :)
