Very random…

Still Hunting…

July 21, 2013July 21, 2013 sweet surrender 2 Comments

Deprived of a proper computer to do any update. Currently using a very basic netbook that can’t really do much.

Been to Kuching Festival on the first day and didn’t go back since then because was feeling rather lazy. Supposed to update about it but my XPS decided to end its life last week. Now, still hunting for a new laptop. Soon will have a new one and update will resume shortly after that as I still need to set it up for my usage.

Not yet visit Logos Hope, reason, lazy! *LOL* I’m just too lazy to do anything ever since I got a part-time job. I can imagine it’s even worst if I have a full-time job. Back from work and all I wanted to do is just do nothing other than playing games and watching series. Sigh…

On the other note, found out that Kuching and Adelaide are damn small! Some funny thing happened to a friend of mine who met a friend of mine from Adelaide while working. She didn’t know we both knew each other and there’s some histories between us in Adelaide. She was just simply asking and got that person a bit stunned and she was treated with silence the whole journey to her workplace *LOL* Then, she told me she picked up my friend earlier on and then teased me about it when I told her that that person is my friend in Adelaide, we used to do things together. She was shocked to found out about the other details, it’s was so funny! Yes, Kuching and Adelaide are very small or rather that person is just too popular in Kuching and Adelaide.

That’s all for now. Hopefully I will get a new laptop soon to resume my normal update.

Happy Chinese New Year 2013

February 9, 2013February 9, 2013 sweet surrender 4 Comments

So… It’s CNY’s eve. Gonna have hotpot session with friends then another session of countdown at another location. Last year, I was at Incheon Airport feeling rather sick and spent the rest of the flight sleeping until I reached Singapore on the 1st day of CNY. Then, reached Adelaide on the second day of CNY.

Second year of not welcoming the new year in Kuching. My one last time celebrating CNY in Adelaide. Going home in less than a month. Only the different is that my family is coming here on the 3rd day of CNY and we will be heading to Melbourne and going around Adelaide.

Hope this year will be a better year. Have a prosperous new year everyone! Gonna go missing for quite a long time this time due to the coming family trip and then the endless packing and farewells with friends here.

Have fun and as usual, don’t drink and drive.

Happy 2013!

I know I’m late. I just got back this morning. So tired~

Took more than 1500+ photos for the my New Zealand trip.

We welcomed the new year in Christchurch. It was such a cold night and we were so tired and sleepy from the eventful Queenstown trip. So many things happened and made us realized that God does look after us and things happened for reasons.

I brought NZD600 to spend for food, accommodation, and shopping. At the end, I left NZD5.90 *LOL* Supposed to have at least NZD20+ but I did a final splurge in the departure hall’s duty free shop hahaha…

Basically the following is the summary of my trip:

25th Dec 2012:
Fly from Adelaide to Melbourne and waiting for late night flight to Christchurch.

26th Dec 2012:
Arrive Christchurch early in the morning. After checking in, we went out for Boxing Day shopping! Didn’t shop much but managed to spend on things that I won’t regret. visited two shopping places but got all we need at the first one.

27th Dec 2012:
Tour the route from Christchurch to Queenstown via Mt. Cook. Breathtaking views! Never in my dream that I would see them with my own eyes. I finally did! No regret.

28th Dec 2012:
Supposed to join the tour to Milford Sound but was left behind by the bus even though we weren’t late!! Rather long story, will tell you more when I post about it. We ended up just walk around discover the town.

29th Dec 2012:
Milford Sound tour, another type of scenery. Also something I never thought I would see in my entire life.

30th Dec 2012:
Back to Chrustchurch, 8 hours bus ride. Reached there late, everywhere was closed and we ended up having the most expensive dinner and not-so-satisfying dinner at the casino (at least cheaper than all the other places which were opened after 5pm).

31st Dec 2012:
Went to Sumner beach in the afternoon. Then join the countdown at night at Hagley Park near our YMCA Christchurch. The crowd was well-behaved, amazing!

1st Jan 2013:
Went to 2 shopping malls, rather disappointed because we went to the biggest one on Boxing Day yet we didn’t even buy anything from there. Along the way, we also stop by Univeristy of Cantebury. Our last destination was Lyttelton Harbour.

2nd Jan 2013:
Check out from our accommodation and went to have a look at the botanical garden. Didn’t fully explore it. After that, we headed to the airport for our flight to Melbourne.

3rd Jan 2013:
Spent the whole night at Melbourne Airport waiting for my super early morning flight. Finally I’m back to Adelaide, home sweet home. So much relief.

The whole trip was rather eventful and almost wrecked us intellectually, physically, emotionally, and psychologically but it’s all good. Learnt a lot from it.

Will bombard you with this trip post this month. Hopefully can get it all done before February as there’s another trip in February and in March I’m going home for good.

So, what’s your new year’s resolutions? I don’t have all these while until last year. Thought I had achieved it but it was taken away from me in such short period of time. This year, it’s still the same one ;p.

Opsss… Slacking Again…

November 27, 2012November 28, 2012 sweet surrender No Comments

Oh dear… It’s been days! Was busy last Saturday, went to Kangaroo Island for a day trip, tiring!

Then, busy with my coming New Zealand trip, been busy booking tours and accommodations. Nuts! Everywhere fully booked and prices are higher than usual. What to do? Peak season. Gonna be in Christchurch and Queenstown from 26th Dec 2012 – 2nd Jan 2013.

Again… Not welcoming the new year in Adelaide, just like last year. Last year was in Incheon Airport, Korea *LOL*. The year before was in Singapore. This year, in New Zealand. Obviously, this is a sign telling me that Adelaide is not the place for me. I thought I will be welcoming it in Adelaide, it will be my first and many years to come but things took a turn and I didn’t even get to celebrate it here even during my last time here. That’s the sign for sure! Too many signs telling me this is not the place for me such as my occupation is no longer in SOL, not getting all 7 in IELTS, and ending of the supposed-to-be-successful relationship. Just have to accept the fact. It’s the way God is telling me this is not the place to be.

Then, where? I’m sure He has his plan for me. I will just enjoy whatever time I have here until I go home for good in March 2013. It’s gonna be sooooo sad but what to do? What’s not yours will not be yours, if it’s yours, it will come back to you in the end.

Will update again soon. Busy packing to move this week. Updates will be rather slow until I settle down in new place.

See you soon!

Back to Adelaide Tomorrow

October 27, 2012 sweet surrender No Comments

Today, did my IELTS, messed up my writing and speaking test ;p

Today, finally I can relax but it’s my last day in Kuching.

Tomorrow evening, I’m going to fly back to Adelaide. Hopefully, my hay fever won’t be so bad by then. I’ve been suffering from non-stop sneezing since a month ago! So suffering. Did not subside in Kuching, instead it continues until now because of the pollution.

Now, I feel a bit sick, having slight sore throat.

Will be back updating in Adelaide in few days time!

See you all then!
