{ a yummy day }

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Finally, I had my first ice cream in New Zealand after these days. My first ice cream flavour choice was certainly dedicated to HOKEY POKEY, one of New Zealand famous trade mark, followed by the ALL BLACKS or SILVER FERN, i think. They have everything with hokey pokey flavour - something has to do with honey. Guess what, in the end of the day, I've got another ice cream treat! That was, cookies 'n' cream, and it was 1 dollar only. I was being too pampered, but I am thankful to what I had have.

thank you to my ice cream provider of the day ;P

{ valentine's after shock}

We thought we just want a simple dinner after school. SO, we cooked, and it turned out like a 3 person valentine's special set dinner. Aren't they look sweet?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
we always didn't realize that we can do it until we made it.

{ first "dinner", proper one }

It was our first proper dinner in Wanganui. Most of us were in fact didn't eat well and sleep well, and today we finally have the urge of making ourselve feel home.

We had mashed potatoes, mix vegetable, fried cheese and chicken sausages, chicken and potatoes. We had some problems with the chicken and potatoes earlier, we didn't understand how could it be tasted awfully bitter, then we were trying out ways to solve it. Yeah, of course, I don't really know how to cook, I didn't have the talent to solve it, there were some other mates. In the end, it turned out good though. There were 11 of us preparing this dinner and we had fun. It is all about team work and fun, you see.

It was not an expensive dinner, but the joyous of flat attack war in the kitchen and friendship that made this happened was priceless.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
don't worry, look, we take good care of ourselves.

{ tiffany's early friday }

I just knew why did I have a special feelings towards friday.
Number 5 is my favorite number after 15, may be it is because
I was born in the fifth month of a year, friday is the fifth day
of a week. Anyway, everyone likes friday.

Another reason, the origin of the names of days in a week are connected to seven planets in the ancient time, I was so surprise
that friday was connected to venus. Venus is the star that protect taurus :)

the earliest christmas celebration.

{ why happy meal ? }

Someone feel truly happy when they got back what they have missed and ignore how expensive is the cost, or feel so grateful to have a meal. Some people still complain about their life when they have too much money to spend. HAppy can be so simple at the same time it is so hard to get a true happiness from the bottom of heart, yet it can be lost easily.

Do you know why we need to be happy? What is happy? Why do we need to pretend to be happy when we are actually not happy? Why we could feel so bad when we can have a happy day but in the end of the day, some little problems sudden happened then cause us drop into hell. Sad, worried, pessimistic, disappointed, hopeless.

what am i without happy?

{ Good smell }

Nothing is similar from the outlook of an onion and a durian, as you can see. Besides they are rounded in shape. There is only one similarity that I could find from both of them - *stamped* [GUARANTEED bad breath], after consuming either one.

I don't really understand why and how did I become refuse to eat durian, since I liked it so much around 10 years ago. About Onion, personally, I could not take it at all.

I hope there won't be a durian flavour chewing gum or an onion flavour chewing gum. They will definitely, completely defeat the purpose of this great invention.

this is dedicated to the one who likes to eat lotsa lotsa onion + durian sometimes.
