New Zealand Ho Ho Ho!!!
How you doin'?
I'm gonna tell you the biggest change recently I've had. Well, now I'm in New Zealand both mentally and phisically. Can you believe that I'm here? Hehehe. Oh well. ;-) When I got here, I felt as if it was years and years that I've been away from here. It wasn't just like a year and half for me. Now getting here freshens me up again. It's gonna be a really nice year if I'm not bothered to make every bit of effort out of me. I'll make use of being here, getting to know people and more and more stuff. I gotta, eh?
13th and 14th, 06.
It's so great to come back to New Zealand. The flight was okay, except a real noisy woman in the plane from Singapore... What a bad luck we had her in the longer flight... *sigh* She was saying that she was supposed to have an aisle seat or she'd asked for one, but she didn't as I'd got it actually... It was so awkward to talk to her, but, you know, it wasn't my fault at all. The ground staff in Kansai Airport asked me which seat I'd like to have and I said an aisle seat, and I got it. The surprise thing is that Singapore Airline let her move to their Raffles class, so called business class. What the hell was that? How lucky she was!! Should I have complained about my seat for no reason? Possibly like this seat isn't comfortable or... what else? Oh well, never mind. I was lucky, too. Since I didn't have the noisy woman around me. Thank God!!! I had a pretty quiet flight and the woman who had the window seat was really nice and we swapped our seat a couple of times, which was quite nice to make yourself feel not bored. We talked quite a lot thanks to the noisy woman's leave. Hee hee.
I came across a Kiwi girl in Sigapore, who's from Auckland. We had a chat for a while and then decided to go to a gym so that we could have a good sleep during the flight. I though it was a great idea, but in fact, I didn't sleep so much in the plane... I was watching X-Men 1, 2, 3 and The Da Vinci Code. I know I'm crazy, but they kept coming and couldn't resist. At least I should've ordered a couple of glasses of wine instead of orange juice. :-( Big mistake, ne? Good amount of alcohol must've been good on me at that time. Singapore Airline's very good cos I had my personl TV monitor. On the other hand, it was bad for my health. LOL Oh well, I'm getting over this jetlag thing soon, I hope.
Mark, my host-father picked me at the airport. He's in the NZ fire service, so I spotted him without any difficulty. I met Kieran when he got back from school, he's 14 yrs old and a real fun boy. He said he's into biking and might get a new one. :-) Then I met Jan the last. She seemed really kind and she is!!! She cooks really well. I'll be fat... Awwwwwwwww. That night we watched "Rock Start Supernova" on TV. It's a show like "American Idol". I was dozing off...nealry fell asleep on the sofa. Hahaha. I bet I was gutted. :-p
Friday, the 15th.
I met up with Nicola at the Polytech. I was late, really sorry!!! I thought I got up at 8:50am or 9:50am... My watch said so. But the clock in the kitchen said "10:50am". I was so confused that I turned on a TV and cheked it. It was actually 10:50am. What happened to me was that I'd adjusted my watch when I got in Singapore, but I did nothing on it since that. Yeah, it was just "OH MY GOD!!" I was supposed to see her ten to twelve. :-( I didn't have her phone number at that time, so I hurried to the shower room and had a quick shower, then ran to the bus stop. Luckily, I had a bus just coming in 2 mins. I took that bus and went into the town. I did think of taking a free shuttle to the Tech, but it didn't seem to come like...forever. Therefore, I walked on and on. LOL It was fun to have a look around places amd things where I used to walk.
When I got to the Tech, Nicola had been already there, of course. I was late, maybe 20mins. SO SORRY, really. It was so awekward to see her in here. I was too happy to talk so much. LOL Anyway, she gave me a tour to her office and introduced me to her co-worker, who's Japanese. She's very nice. We talked about some things and then left when Nicola's friend arrived. We had Chinese for lunch, which was so big that I felt soooooo full. LOL After lunch, I had a walk around the town, and met Trish at 4pm. I talked to her on the phone, but hadn't seen her for a year and half, so it was REALLY great to catch up with her. :-) Oh, she hasn't changed at all. She's as cheerful as before. That's one of the awesome aspects of her personality, I reckon. That night, I had a glass of wine, and watched rugby games which turned out to be less interesting than I had expected. Well, that happens from time to time. ;-)
Saturday, the 16th
It was a beautiful day today. Went out to the Hagley Park with Trish, Nicola and Japanese high school kids to have a picnic under cherry blossoms. When the wind blew, petals fell off like snowflakes from the sky. Into my glass, too. It was... dunno how to say in English. Maybe elegant or graceful as cherry blossoms are fragile or short-lived, so I felt like that. :-) There are hundreds of thousands of daffodils in the park. Like a massive yellow/white carpet!!! I'd better put a photo here so that you can have a look, eh. Seeing is believing, so I'll do that at some stage. ;-)
At Riccarton Mall, I met up one of my old friends Julianne at last!!! I was so excited to see her. So was she. Hahaha. She was like "Takaaaashiiiii". LOL She gave me a quick tour of the mall, as it'schanged a lot since I went back to Japan. Then we went to Burger King and had an early dinner. Guess what? We were serving to death!!! Now we are in the University of Canturbery doing our stuff. Me, creating a new post, she's doing her project or... netsurfing. Whatever. LOL
I'll update soon, or as often as I can, okay?
