im back in welly..

halu halu..after 5 days, here i am..back in welly..it was a fun trip of cuz =p although some of the things we wanted to do or see but tak dpt, we had fun nevertheless.. will update more bout this trip later n with pic..

till later..taaa~~

nota lantai: rase dh sunburn abes nih..iskk.. kene mengemas2 juge..mama nk dtg..huhu..

it's hot but very windy..

hoping today will be a productive day since im goin away tmrw for about a week..but im already sleepy from waking up very early today (earlier than usual lah..heh)..

met david just now. he gave some insighful suggestions/comments. thank u very2 much.. firstly he do not agree to do a masters degree within 6 months..the earliest a person can do is around 8/9 months.hearing that, im confident that im not doing it anymore.haha. then he preferred if i take a month or two break before starting IF i were to continue. i would totally agree. then again, the most important thing is to be interested in doing that because masters is totally different than hons. told him im not, and he just laughed.

he gave me some possible areas to work on. wah i got tired of hearing. not that he was bored or anything. but tired of thinking the process of doing the thesis.hahaha.. cuz the thesis must bring academic benefit n definitely not an easy process. if only i want to be a lecturer or to be a career woman till im old, i might consider doing it.hoho..

aahh..malas lah. my heart is not into it. he sed he knows i have the capability to do it. been hearing this a lot lately. if i have the capabilities but if im not interested, the outcome might not be great, will it? hmm..

i dono y but our conversation turned to phds. he gave me an idea wat to do for phd.hahaha..masters pun susah nk decide, ni phd pulak..kekeke..but no doubt, it is a very good idea.heh. at the moment, he's working a paper with a lecturer in otago n 'stealing' my 430 ideas.haha.plagiarism siut! but he told me about it before and i did gave him d right to do so cuz he's very2 interested...

so, it is now confirmed that i will be taking a break from studying to start my career. cewah..so now i can start throwing some articles, selling some stuffs and packing..huhu

*******

my family coming next friday.wee! my dad going to haji next monday. yesterday they did kenduri doa selamat for my dad, uncle and aunty who will be going and tahlil in my house. wah meriah gile. jeles2.dh la lame dh takde kenduri camtu.siap ade khemah2 n all.. it was a kenduri for me also la..kenduri kesyukuran..*bangga kejap*..heheehe.. my lil bro stil tak anta gmbr2 lagi.terok2..will post some later then..

bought more stuffs from diva just now.haha.cannot resist lah. i heard from the salesgirl that the concept store will be open in jan. so until then, they will still sell the clearance items.. so girls, pegi la borong byk2 sblm balek..nothing cost more than 5dlrs..diva kat msia mahal..baik bli kat sini..kan kan? i shall buy more before going back.. ieja darling..i'll buy some for u cuz i know u luv diva..ehehhe..

ok..nk makan..tgh buat laundry juge..will start kemas some papers later..tonite will be packing for my cuti2..wee! taaa~~

think think think..

after several days of thinking and talking to some people.. i think im not gona continue my masters here. i think that i would prefer working for few years first then only do my masters IF i want to by then. at least i will do something related to my work then, and that would definitely benefit me in the future. but i kan nk keje smpi i puas ati jek..den jd housewife with an hons degree..lepak di rumah while ade own business..cewah..

as for now, if i extend my hons project, i don THINK i can contribute anything to msia since my project is NZ based..hmm.. further, i think that im still not interested at the moment. some may say that since im considering it i might be interested..hmm, that is wat i thought.maybe i was considering it to see if i can become more interested to do kot. oh well, apparently not.. hmm

to those yg nk buat go ahead..its good opportunity. kan ade opportunity cost. so this will be mine. i hope i wont regret it in d future. as for now, i don really have a definite plan about my future. i really respect those who knows what they want. of cuz i know wat i want in the short term la kot but in certain situation, its definitely more difficult. ala, most of the time nk mkn kat mane or nak masak ape pun i tak bleh nk decide.haha..

im stil gona go for the meeting on monday with david. just to listen on what he has to say. will list all d pros and cons by then and discuss with my dad. i know my dad will respect my decision. after all, he told me to make the decision by myself..

so in d near future, i'll go back home, lepak, cuti2.. at the moment i think i'll consider glcs.. maybe khazanah..pnb ke petronas ke..wah semua dkt dgn rumah..haha.. of cuz there are always d big-4.. we'll c how things go.

my ticket from jpa dh confirmed. me, ayer and dyana will be going back on the 26th of dec. belum dpt welly-auck ticket..next wk ni kot..as for now, im planning my cuti2..just goin around north to tauranga.. dh tatau mane nk gi since semua pun dh gi..tp anywhere cuti pun best kan.hihi..

okeh.. til later..dh lame tak post gambar..will grab some from ayer soon..taa~~

nothing much to write at the moment.. taaa~~

picnic..dinner..confusion..

we had a picnic on thursday evening.. it was a sunny day.we all went to rose garden around 5pm to just lepak basically.. then we played american football..haha.. when u get guys who are experts and gurls who dont know how to play, u can just imagine the situation.haha..it was nevertheless really fun n of cuz tiring.. penat bergelak juge..haha..

we had dinner together at 243..we cooked pasta, bread pudding and played monopoly. playing monopoly has become one of the common thing we do every now and then. started when ayer n i decided to buy the world edition with the bank card/eftpos card..its cool but a bit lembab la sbb kene tgu banker buat transactions each time.. stil fun tho.

i managed to win the game only once so far..mcn won big yesterday..record la ni kire..hihi..beginners luck..haha.. i think it is hard for us to get bored of monopoly..macam cranium skang dah a bit boring..we played it once on one of the nights..but cam dh bosan sket cuz most of the things we dh buat..dh la muke2 yg same jek dok main..so mmg igt la ape jwpn dia..i wish i can buy new set of cranium cards..(kalu ade jual la)..

we had a last dinner with our hons classmates just now (friday) at arashi.. most of us will be leaving soon.. it was alright..fun..taught our class clown more malay words..haha.. then we lepaked at olive cafe for coffee and desserts before playing wii at 243.. wah 243 mmg jd rumah main game ni..

on another note..some of our frens are thinking of doing masters. apparently we can extend our hons project and complete it just within 6 months n we will get a masters degree. but kene start from now..meaning no or less holiday. told my parents bout it..my mom kate tak yah buat..my dad cam 'encourage' to do.. making me confuse rite now. a big part of me is still reluctant to continue.. i know its a good opportunity and all but i don c having a masters degree could help me that much since im not going into lecturing..so i c it as having no practical relevance.. i have already tuned my mind to work rite now tp now kene pk ni lak..

how how how?

hmm.. im gona c david on monday just to discuss about this. i hope after our meeting i can easily decide whether i wana stay or not..most likely i wont. dh bersmgt nk balek tuk keje nih. hihi.. kata2 my dad mmg slalu terpk..cuz he sed dont make any decision that i will regret later..wah..tajam bukan ayat tu..lagi la buat i confuse..

hope for the best la kan.. blaja tinggi2 kang mas kawin kene increase lg la plak kang..or kene tambah dulang..wakakak =p

lazying around..

terasa mcm bontot di gam atas krusi..stuck in front of this laptop for hours now..mls nye nk bergerak..ahaha..

im supposed to start kemasing a bit..but mls.. patut nk start by washing some of my clothes yg require hand washing tp tak buat2 lagi..ish ish..

i have like a month and a week left here in nz.wah..tak mau balek.. sbb tu kot tak kemas2..hmm..

a lot to settle.. house is almost settle with the contract n all..luckily the landlord nk repaint the whole house after we move out so yey for us cuz we tak yah byr rent til new tenant masuk.pheww..

must settle with telecom and genesis after that..to terminate our accounts..then must settle shipping pulak..

waaa..i don wana leaveeee!! :'(

im sure gona miss welly..miss the terrace..where i can just walk with just few steps to my friends' houses..

it will take me just about 30 steps (?) to reach ayer's house here but it will take me like 30 min to get to his house in kl..haih.. ni blm lagi org2 yg tak dok kat kl..waaa..

i don like it..life will be different..waa..sedey2..

ok tak patut sedey2 lagi..kene enjoy hari2 yg tinggal..athi will be d first to go next tues..haih lps tu sorg2 akan balek..takpe..im sure kite akan jumpe di kl..dan akan kluar bersuka ria sblm masing2 start keje..ok? ;)

ok lah...til later..adios~~
