{ a morning trip to Palmerston North }

A lecturer from Malaysia was being so kind to bring 12 of us to Palmerston North morning market. With all fresh fruits and vegetables at quite cheap price. We had to get us out of Wanganui at 8am sharp in the morning, so that we could be able to catch the morning market about 74km away. We had bought 4 dollars for 25 apples, and many more.

The part that i enjoyed most wasn't at the shopping in market. I did the must thing that everyone should do in New Zealand. We saw cows and sheeps, all the way along the roadsides to Palmy.



They were so cute and nice, because they knew we are taking photos of them, and they were willing to come abit forward and line up nicely and look into the camera!

afterall, it was a tired day

{ my first quake experience }

In the early 9th day in Wanganui, we were having a chit chat session around 1am morning. QUAKE happened. I did not know that was a quake until it took 5 seconds to end and my mates said it was a minor quake. We were stoned at that moment, I was hesitating whether should I scream or run or what, but I did not dare to make a move.

Nothing was being moved either from the wall or anywhere, we were just shocked, and it was our first time experience in life. Quite surprised and abit scared, but after all we cracked that into jokes again, because all of our face expression were funny.

was that a funny quake, mate ?

{ 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.

{ this valentine's day }

There is no valentine's day mood for us here, but still, we are not neglecting this commercialized event.

We had a drinking session to celebrate our valentine's day at sharp 12am in our student flats, it was quite fun. We drank + joke + had a cadbury "THREE WISHES" chocolate + craps. Well, that's all and we have class at 8am in the morning :)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
happy sweet valentine's day, not just for lovers, but friends, treasure of life.

{ 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.
