Why?
To do the darn physics quiz that's only worth 1%. 15 questions for 1%. I'm still questioning myself why o why did I take physics? At least there's still a use to it, I'm so sure I'm going to need it in biomechanics next year! Well, at least this week's quiz is better than last week's. I finished it more than 24 hours before due time which means I do not need to stay up late tonight and stress about it. It also means I can skip today's tutorial since I managed to finish all the questions. All thanks to two future engineers helping me. Jellymi and uncle sim, thank you so so much to both of you for willing to help me!! If it weren't for both of them, I can picture myself sitting in front of my laptop tonight till 3-4am staring at those questions, panicking and not getting anything right. Teehee :D I know who to kacau next time when I need help in physics, bwahahahaha... and the NEXT time will probably be next week? Ekekekeke.. 1% quiz every week ma...
Went for basketball training yesterday afternoon. The first game will be on the 11th. One more sunday of training before I play my very first bball game. Ahahaha!! So yeaa.. gonna have training this thursday as well. I'm starting to enjoy it but still suck at lay-ups. Let's just say, my co-ordination is very very bad. Practice, practice, practice. I need more. At least now I can dribble the ball without constantly looking at it! That's one improvement. Ehehehehehe.. I'm enjoying basketball now, it's a subsitute for netball. But....... I'm missing netball. Baskettttt... you auckland ppl playing netball every weekend without me :( Ohh wellzzz... I can make do with this substitute right now, it's a good sport to pick up anyway, it will help me to find space in netball and definitely train up my stamina coz I was tired. It was the reason why I woke up at 5am to do physics. I was supposedly meant to take a nap at 10.30pm and wake up at 12am to do my quiz but yea... slept thru till 5am. Haha!! As for ultimate frisbee, I might pass on it. Missed one training and one game already. Lolx! Coz the training was last wednesday which clashed with bball training and the game was on saturday night and it was cold that night so I was lazy to to go out :p
Talked to mum and dad last night about my flight back home. I've decided to skip LA and Tahiti. Will buy a ticket from LA back to Auckland straight away after arriving LA. Don't want to tour around LA by myself anyway and I've been there when I was 12. Was considering whether or not to go back to malaysia before going to back to auckland. The ticket from LA to auckland is 580 USD. The ticket from LA to msia to auckland is 980 USD. With extra 400, I can go back to Msia on the 9th of Jan till the 19th of Feb. Tough decision. Tempting. Mum, dad and bro will be going back to Msia for CNY. But I thought about it and decided I won't go back.
Reasons why I should go back:
1. See my relatives and my lil cousins!
2. The swimming and school friends.. (although not many are there already)
3. I get to see the people who I won't get to see anymore in NZ
4. Vanessa will be in msia by then and I can see her and I need not wait till MARCH!!!!!! (this is one of the reasons that made it hard to decide)
5. So that i won't spend CNY and my bday here alone. (not a biggie anymore coz i've spent my day and cny alone before)
6. The yummy yummy food I get to eat and the shopping I get to do.
Reasons why I shouldn't go back:
1. I've already spent so much coming for this exchange.
2. If I go back on the 9th of Jan, it means I won't get to celebrate my dad's bday on the 19th of Jan.
3. If I go back to Msia, I'll basically be spending even more money again.
4. I'll get to enjoy summer in NZ.
5. It's an opportunity for me to get some proper working experience instead of working at the billabong shop in 1U and getting paid like crap!
6. I will force myself to be productive this summer and earn some money, earn some money back after this big expenditure in Montreal.
7. I get to have fun making satays next year!!! (no, seriously, i'm looking forward to it!!)
8. I currently miss NZ more than I miss Msia.
9. To make sure that things are completely over and history will not repeat itself like how it did last year. I know for myself that I'm sure about it but you wouldn't know about whether others feel the same or not, right? So, it's best to just stay away longer first.
So you see, there're more reasons to why I shouldn't go back. It'll be all fun and play if I go back to msia but I do need to get my act right. I don't want to be jobless in the future. I have to get some working experience. Whatever kind of working experience, I don't care! Besides, the pay here is way way higher than in Msia! I'm even considering to beg a gym to take me and I'll work for free. You know, to just get the hang of dealing with customers. Haha! Let me make my mistakes and don't pay me. I'm fine with that. Hehehe...
Man, looks like I've been doing a lot of thinking lately huh? At least it's rational thinking, non emo stuff. Wahahahaha.... denise and jeremy said i've matured after reading my previous post. so, have I? I really have no idea what actually made me think of all these things and decide on passing up the opportunity of going back to msia. Whatever it is, I'm sticking to this decision as I know it's for the better.
Mum and dad said they are happy with me not going back so I can help manage the trademe stuff as long as I'm ok spending CNY by myself. Dad said he'll look up airfares to sydney for me so I can have the possibility of going to sydney and spend CNY with my auntie. So looks like I won't be alone for CNY eh? Teeheee :D
Alright, enough. Time to make my breakfast. I made dinner last night after training. I deserved a good meal hence.............
Fettucine with alfredo sauce
(with added onions and CHICKEN!! the sauce I bought actually tasted really weird hence I added some evaporated milk, fresh milk, salt, pepper and voila! it's soooo goood!!)
Chocolate mint ice cream with baked bananas drizzled with maple syrup
(and grapes and evaporated milk just to make it look nicer.. heeeheee)
Current time: 9.15 a.m.Date: 1/10/2007 (one yr ago from this date, it was the day where I sprained my ankle the second time .. from playing touch as well :p Haha!)
