Dinner In Dining Room

Well.. If u know me well enough, u must know that one thing, which is I can do everything on my own, except eating alone, especially when it comes to dinner.

Don't know.. I just can't take it when I have to eat dinner alone, without family and friends around. But I realize since early that thing may change when I come to New Zealand, as I will have to eat my meal alone, so Im kinda well-prepared.

However, u can never tell how things are gonna turn out the next minutes. A few times I thought that I would have to eat my meal alone, and I always choosed to sit apart from the crowd, as I felt more secure doing that, staying in my comfort zone.

Guess what?! So far the scene of me eating alone never occured at all. Instead of that, I got to make a lot of friends, which was totally beyond my expectation. Friendship is a funny thing, it exists and grows healthily when u are least aware of it. U can never be able to explain it with any formula or calculation. Agree??

I just finished my dinner in Weir's dining room, with a Thai, a Korean, an Indonesian, and a Chinese. Haha. It was like an international family reunion dinner. Though this is not our first time eating together, I thank God for having them with me, as it was a getaway from assignments and school works.

* Today is my third day of classes. I had lectures and tutorial and got another assignment. My timetable will soon be packed once laboratories get started. Very busy but Im having great time. Oh ya, I din't "mengantuk" during lectures at all, though I was lack of sleep, haha =P

* One more thing, I din't make it for the second hand book sale because it crashed with my class. However, my friend did get me one though, hehe =) The queue was amazingly long but everyone was patient and everything was going smooth. No squeezing and no "cut queue" at all.

Kla, I gotta stop now, at long as I got post something today, HAHAHA ^_^

What are u going to do later at 3 a.m. ??

Today is my second day of class. Well, I did survive my first two days of lectures. Not to say my skill of sleeping in class being improved ( Note: It wasn't my fault at all, it was just I din't sleep early the day before, and unluckily the introduction session was just too boring =P ).. Not to say me becoming a supergirl, looking at the slides and handouts and listening to the lectures and writing down the points and trying to understand the topics, all in one goal.. Not to say I had my lectures and tutorials all started during my second day, with lab works and workshops coming soon.. Not to say I already got an assignment which would due on next Tuesday.. Haha =)

Btw, there will be a Second Hand Book Sale held in my campus tomorrow, at 9.30 a.m. According to reliable information, those second hand books will be sold half price or less than that. According to another reliable party, last year there were students waking up at 3 o'clock in the morning just to make sure they themselves were the first one ahead of the long long queue. According to another party "lagi", this year some of the students plan to bring along sweaters and blankets and sleep over in front of the venue later. ( Oh ya, for ur information, now the time is 11.10 p.m. in New Zealand )

I can see ur facial expressions now. Shocked? Impressed? Haha. I can guess what pops up in ur mind now. Wondering what will I do? Will I show my "Malaysia Boleh" spirit and join them? Haha. I will definitely give u the answer. No problem at all as Im a good girl. So.. I think I will just tell u in ur dreams tonight la. Is that ok? =P

Paper Planes

Never played with paper plane for ages??

I had great time exploring the world of little paper planes just now *_*

Hey little Daniel, thank you for ur paper planes, they are my best gift ever!!
( Don't forget how to spell ur name again ya, and I like ur temporary signature =P )

Most of the time, we, human beings, are keen and desperate, chasing after things like fame, power, glory, victory, wealth, and many more.. Eventually, as time goes by, when we finally grab everything in our hands, then only we will realize that we reach our destination without enjoying the scenery along the journey.. Do u know for what and whom u wanna live for?? I find my answer in the little paper planes. Hope u get to find urs too ^_^

Soul Set Free

Ever feel that u are having hard time in life and u just can't find ur way out?

Ever feel that u are burdened but u just can't run away from it?

Ever feel that u are empty though u have everything?

Ever..

**

But..

Have u ever thought of why difficulties and obstacles are put in ur path?

Why do u struggle so much to reach worldly standards, instead of Godly standards?

Why peace never rest in ur heart even though u think u have the whole universe with u?

Why..

**

When u feel having hard time in life,

it's because God wants u to grow!!

( U do grow more when life is difficult for u, don't u? )

Do remember one thing,

God is in control of the universe,

and he asks u to have control of urself according to His will!!

( Not to control the world, not to control other people, but u urself )

That's why God gives u PEACE instead of the WORLD,

we are not designed to control the world,

as we end up creating riots inside ourselves!!

( Why do u wanna have control over something which is definitely beyond ur control? )

**

I surrender myself to the all Mighty God,

and let Him takes control over me..

I pray for the power of obedience and power of principles,

obey Him and he will take care of my life..

I walk the path God wants me to,

and I do not worry about life,

as Jesus says, " I will take care of all that. "

**

Soul set free by God's amazing grace

Stepping into university life.. Excited?? Nervous??

The above are the photos of my KDU friends, one was taken during our graduation ceremony, and another one during our graduation dinner.

Everyone looked so shiny with broad smiles on their faces, which I would never ever forget. My life was rocked by this group of crazy people throughout the one and a half year =P

Late night movie, pool, mamak, chit-chatting.. were our culture. I eventually developed the skills such as sleeping in bus ( sometimes in class.. ), last minute works.. mingling with them.

Hahahahahahaha

Sekelip mata we are now all in New Zealand ( Auckland, Wellington, Palmerston North as well as Dunedin ), pursuing our dreams and visions in this brand new fresh country.

26th February 2007 will be a significant day for all of us!! Our campus life will get kicked off!! Though some of us are still in holiday mode and others are still trying to adapt to their environment.

Hey guys,

have a great beginning of ur day!!

Let us these crazy people rock New Zealand

Haha

^_^

MY = Min Yu's

MY Aotearoa

In Maori, New Zealand is known as Aotearoa, which means the Land of Long White Cloud when translated into English.

According to Wikipedia, New Zealand is the only country in the world in which all the highest offices in the land have been occupied simultaneously by women. Quite interesting, isn't it?? Haha.

For my part, New Zealand is a blessing of God for its breathtaking nature. Blue sky, white cloud, bright moon, little stars, green plants, colourful flowers, hills, streams, and so on form a picturesque view.

MY Wellington

For ur information, Wellington is the capital city of, the second largest city and the windiest city in New Zealand.

However, the heart of city is relatively small compared to Kuala Lumpur. The walking distance from one end of the city to the other end is only 2km. 2 kilometres!! Believe it or not =P

Even though the summer hasn't come to its end, the weather is getting colder and colder, and the wind is becoming stronger and stronger. Sometimes I couldn't even stand firmly on earth.. "I believe I can fly.. I believe I can touch the sky.. " Hehe.

MY Victoria University of Wellington

VUW is the university of mine, which consists of four campus around the city, here they are :-

1. Kelburn Campus ( Main campus of VUW )

2. Pipitea Campus ( Law & Commerce schools are here )

3. Te Aro Campus ( Architecture & Design schools are here )

4. Karori Campus ( Education school is here )

I am gonna study in Kelburn campus throughout my years, doing Bachelor of Science, major in Biotechnology.

I am taking eight papers for my first year of study, which include the fields of biology, chemistry, biotechnology, statistics and commercial law. Yup statistics and commercial law!! The reason being that?? Take a look on the sentence below. ^_^

[ Biotechnology = Science meets cultures, ethics, politics & economics ]

MY Weir House

I will spend my this whole year staying in a hall of residence which is known as Weir House. My "jodoh" with Weir has started since I was in Malaysia when I first impressed by its pure white appearance. Haha.

It is one of the best catered hall in Wellington and the food here just suit my taste bud. Guess what?! They serve rice here!! Yo!! However, I lost weight since I came as I walk basically everyday to everywhere, and I enjoy walking so much =P

Dearest all,

thank you very much for ur concerns and regards

I truly appreciate them

^_^

My class will start on next Monday

and I really look forward to it

Haha

Happy Belated Valentines

&

Wish u an earlier Chap Goh May

Cheers,

minyu ^_^

7th February 2007

31 January 2007 . Wednesday . Cloudy

" Ding!!" I was woken by a noise in my room. It was my handphone.

" ....... JPA has confirmed that our flight will be on 7th February 2007 ....... Still not sure about the exact departure time ....... "

My mind was totally blank at the moment, and I couldn't think of anything, because I thought that it would be on 9th February 2007.

1 February 2007 . Thursday . Rainy

" Ring.." It was my handphone again. But this time I was prepared. I did take a deep breath before I picked it up though.

" ....... You are confirmed flying on 7th February 2007 ....... Touch down at Sdyney first and stay there for about nine hours ....... After that transit to Wellington ....... "

My heart was sinking fast, and the heartbeat rate increased, finally everything was being confirmed, I would be flying on 7th February 2007.

2 February 2007 . Friday . Sunny

I woke up pretty early today. I looked around, everyone was out to school, except my bible which was lying still next to me. I smiled slightly!

Then I listened to the surrounding. I heard baby crying and grandma comforting. I heard motorcycles and cars. I heard students chit-chatting and laughing. I smiled happily!!

After that I walked outside the house and took a deep breath. The sun was giving out warmth generously and the breakfast of neighbours smelled great. I smiled broadly!!!

It's been a long time I never woke up so early. Almost forgot how lovely the morning was. The sky was blue, the wind was refreshing, and I was relief.

*A new day has come. There are hopes and blessings around.

See them? Just open your eyes la =P*
