Kia Ora!

Kia Ora!

I've been seeing this welcoming phrase since the first day I got accepted into Massey. I'm just as shocked to found out that I've been absent in this blog for 2 months and I somehow regret it for not wanting to update my blog because so much has happened in those two months. Possibly a lot of appreciation and gratefulness to my ex-peers/boss/co-workers... The two clinic hamsters that gave birth to a total of 8 babies are doing so fine, with the help of Onnie/Xuannie (Ong Zhi Xian) snapchatting videos to me everyday. I'm now in this spacious room in Auckland, using the 1GB free wifi to type this blog instead of using it to finish my assignment. (Sigh, procrastination is a sin.)

However, I'm quite proud of myself in contributing the forum of an online course I signed up for, and the lecturer is really helpful. I really learned a lot through this online course (about academic writing and APA format), though I really have to say I'm really thankful that Miss Evon (I never really appreciated her before :( ) taught us APA last year, so it's not quite a hard and shocking task for me now.

So, here I am in Auckland, and in another 8 hours I will be taking a domestic flight to Palmerston North. I'm so excited, nervous and scared, because I never thought that I would go this far. Time has flew by so fast I can't even have the time to lie down in my bed and do some self-reflection. Anyways, I'm really glad that people are so friendly in here. I really hope to meet new friends over there as soon as possible. Crossing fingers that everything will be fine tomorrow and will go smoothly! I will need to go to the bank to proceed my account, get my Student ID card and also buy a SIM card.

That's it for today, because although 1 GB of internet is sufficient, I don't feel like procrastinating anymore and need to send in the draft as soon as possible so I can improve further. Not much after being gone for so long.... bye!
