Happy Chinese New Year! Hmm, feels kinda weird saying that suddenly. XD This is the first year my parents are celebrating CNY by themselves; usually my brother would be able to join them but turned out he had to return to Dunedin pretty early this year.

Well CNY here is like any other normal day, I guess. =D We had salad for dinner, how [great] is that? Haha, kinda pathetic for a New Year dinner but it was really good. We had a BBQ yesterday and used the leftover meat we had for the salad. Mmm… (Really, it tastes nicer than it sounds…!! ^_^)

I’m currently into the Ouran High School Host Club anime series. It’s really good…! =D My penpal in Sabah actually recommended it to me ages ago but I didn’t start watching it until a couple of weeks ago when I came back. At first I thought it was one of those typical romance, drama thingy but it’s more of a comedy than that. It’s really hilarious!

I’ve got a week before Uni starts. I met up with one of my old highschool friends, Saskia, last Friday. She’s German, though I think she’s been here for quite a while, and surprise surprise, I found out she’s engaged!! 0_0 Her boyfriend is called Sven and apparently he’s training to be a pilot. That’s pretty cool eh. ^_^

Random statement of the day: I cleaned my precious baby PS2 today for the first time in… 3 years? 2 years? Oh well…

I’m finally back in NZ after a long, tiring and quite horrible flight. We had to fly from KL to Singapore, then Sydney, and then finally Christchurch, and this was the first time we flew with Qantas (Aussie airline…). Our flight from Singapore to Sydney was actually on British Airways since apparently, they’re co-sharing with Qantas or something like that. It was pretty much the worst flight we’ve taken– the food was yuck and to make things worse, when we arrived in Christchurch I started getting a nose bleed (can’t remember the last time I had one of those… probably back when I was in the outdoor band in Puteri? =P).

When we went to the baggage claim, we couldn’t find our luggage at all and it turned out that they were probably left behind in Sydney or something (Damn you Qantas?!?!). I guess the only good thing that came out of that was we had a perfect excuse not to unpack immediately. Anyway, Soon Yie and I took a good long sleep when we got back (Our flattie, Margaret, looked well and she did an awesome job keeping the house spotless!). Luckily, we just had to wait about a day for our baggage; the airport sent them to us just a couple of hours ago. Good thing they did that cuz I really wasn’t in the mood to drive all the way out there!

Summer here is surprisingly cool at night. Maybe I just forgot how it was in the past years; I have quite a terrible memory after all. I’m already missing lazing around the S’ban home, having mum and dad in the house and hanging out with ol’ Christine. =D Hopefully the year will fly by! Laterz.
