bye 2005

December seems to me is not a good month to work on my research, especially started from 23 Dec till new year. I have no mood on my research, off and on, the progress is so slow. I am so lazy. ..oh oh.. Went to school, but nobody inside. Main door locked. I opened up the door and walked towards my room.. scared of the quietness. Actually I am thinking of whether I should go back to my flat now. haih.. It is reasonable for NewZealanders to have long holidays through out new year, but not for me! I have limited time to work for my study. please..

End of the year.. means that my whole body is very tiring? No mood to work? Relax?Numb? Wait for recharged?
End of the year, my flatmate has a new flat, I am gonna have two new flatmates soon... end of the year.. end of the year.. bye 2005.

Update of Xmas Eve



Here are some of the updates of my christmas eve in flat with my friends. ..

We decided to cook a delicious Xmas dish for ourself : ~ a roasted turkey & potato
~ Salad, fruit bowl, dip, chips , etc.

This was the first time I tasted turkey, not much different as chicken .. Taste good.

Had a great chit chat and wished each other Merry Xmas & Happy New Year.

Will attend the Christmas celebration in Knox Church soon . 11.30pm. So guess will be back very late. Anyway, Christmas just once a year. Look forward to enjoy the carol service in church and the candles lights.

Xmas Eve


Christmas eve, woke up quite early because we don't want to miss up the jolly xmas atmosphere in Otago morning market. Lotsa of people did the last minute shoppings, veges, ham, cheese, cherries, strawberries, muffin, coffee, lotsa of nice stuffs. Indeed I was happy too. I had a cup of large cappucino while my friend stayed calm with her idea of getting a small cup. She can't cope with too much of coffee, actually... Oh ya, I got a christmas present yesterday night from a lovely friend, and I like the xmas card very much, because I have had the warm message and wishes from her with her nice writing, and also like this card... because it can be a photo frame as well!

To my dearest friends who I know or to any strangers I don't get to know , sincere wish "Have a nice Christmas and peaceful Christmas!"

the more you grow the more you take things seriously..

I am very kiasu nowsaday... Dc told me she will not ring me up if my blood report is fine. But yesterday, I insisted to call her instead.. >p. May be I am too worried of myself. My flatmate told me I should feel happy after Monday because no phone ring from the Dc. She asked me why I still look a bit uncomfortable about the test...may be i am skeptical in some way.. so blood result overall is good. ") Thanks ya fren...

health still the most important ..

I always take for granted.. especially for my own health. I thought I am young and very healthy. But things change from time to time, especially when you grow older.. I feel I am so weak recently, dizzy when I do stretching.., cold sweat,.. tired... not focus.. am I worrying of something or else..I asked myself always... but can't really figure out what is the main cause.

then I tried to monitor the food intake which I always cook for my own meals. I realized that I seldom take meat especially pork, I dun like the strong smell of pork here, so I give up to buy any pork meat here. I don't take beef and lamb as well... Chicken..hmm not really frequent. Fish, yes! Vege , yes!!! but still think that I lack of some nutritious food.

This morning I dragged myself to clinic, I am so worried of myself after I vomitted and stomach cramp yesterday... I described every symptom I have to the Doc in student health centre. She tried to understand my pain and finally she suggested me to undertake the blood test. This test will check on the tyroid, my blood level.. and etc. She said from this test, she will know whether am I suffer from anaemia. The dc said she will ring me up on coming Monday if there is something wrong with the blood report, and I will not hear from her if everything goes fine. hmm..

Suddenly I feel I am so vulnerable, suddenly I feel I have not enough time to pursue my life..suddenly I think alot .. alot...

Santa Parade





Dunedin City Council organized the Santa Parade 2005 along Cumberland Street to George Street yesterday. I managed to participate this gorgeous event with Anh, her cousin and SB. The parade was scheduled to start at 3pm but dragged almost half an hour later, then it started. You can see many kids and parents, grandpa & grandma, friends and lovers enjoyed this Santa Parade ~ Pre Xmas celebration. It started with the Cadbury car drove through the main street and gave away variety chocolates to audience especially for kids.. Then followed by those different decorated cars and trucks from companies and schools... I like the live band singing xmas songs on the big truck.. they used truck as a performance stage though.. I really enjoyed the show because it was full of Xmas atmosphere. and I managed to see Santa Clause too... ho..ho.hooo.. Everyone greets each other "Merry Xmas & Happy New Year"!

My sunday was pretty busy and excited...
