Finally, a sunny day!
Thursday, May 19, 2005
Hi all, do ya miss me? I miss everyone in Sg. Will be back after 2 & 1/2 weeks time. Heh~ Today is Sunny day. I woke up later at 9 plus in the morning then went to the mall and supermarket with my sister's guardian to do some shopping then headed back to the place I'm staying at to enjoy lunch. Do you know that the things here are really expensive? Well, all except for some of the local produce. 1kg of Golden Kiwi Fruit costs NZD$0.79 while the usual Yan Yan Biscuit sticks with chocolate Cream costs NZD$1.60. Woah~ luckily I'm not staying here for long. Hehe~ Also, the exercise book I bought for my sis costs about NZD$1.20 and it's not very big lor. WTH~>.<
But~ it's interesting to know that I have a JJC senior who is just staying across the road from where I'm staying. Have I mentioned this before? There's this Malay lady staying across the street. She's in the 1986/7 batch of JJC and she's a Student Councilor too(CCA com!!!). Quite a nice and friendly lady as all Singaporeans should. Hee~ she's married to an Arab-African and has a 1 & 1/2 yr old son who is so cute!!! Her son likes to play in their garden and his favourite past time is chewing the dried leaves on the ground. I just saw him do that. So cute..... His eyes like wanna drop out... so big, the eyes.
My sister's guardian is also a Singaporean and she's my dad's friend. SO there's no problem for her to study here with the church and the house-mates she has. There's a 15yr old gal and a 23yr old guy staying in the same house and they are going to church so there's no problem.
I'll be back in the house making dumplings with them later.
About the bed and breakfast thing the guardian is having, I think I'll send in the details once I have them, through email. If you're going to the North Island or Auckland of New Zealand, you may want to stay there. It's furnishings are superb! I think she will be also arranging tours for the guests staying there.
If you do come to NZ, please be alert as to where you do the shopping, some shops sell souvenirs but they has this made in China imprint on them. Please be careful~ I think I was fleeced!
NZ time 1.50pm
