It has been 2 months since I last blog.....been lazy and the internet connection at home err....sucks?
Ironically, I am now typing this at 8.33 a.m. in the office, yeah I have finally found a job, at Metropolitan College, SS15.
Boring job, still job hunting by the way, mindset and personality differences among us in the marketing department made me want to leave this institution, though I like the people here as well as the working environment(Eye Candies....).
Will elaborate more when I have the time.

Last day in Windy Welly and New Zealand
Tomorrow I fly....back to somewhere I originally came from, a small part of our mother earth, Malaysia.
Strangely, a few months ago, I was excited about going home, literally homesick everyday.
Things that I'm gonna miss:
- The friendly people around
- Though I'm no coffee addict, I'll still definitely miss the coffees here
- My flat
- My flatmates
- My friends here
- Vic Uni
- The fresh air
- The lively town
- Drinking on Friday and Saturday nights
And most of all, the bucket fountain in Cuba Street.
Hopefully I won't be too emotional tomorrow at the Airport.
I will be back WELLINGTON!

My Short Fling in NZ
TADA!!!!!
Sadly we are going to part real soon, a nostalgic short summer fling for a couple of months.
Wanted to learn drifting with it, but not many places with large space here. However the experience of driving a non turbocharged B8 engine, balance convertible....priceless. Moreover, I now have the rights to brag about the enjoyment of driving a six gear transmission car....
Honestly, I have not pushed this car to its limit, not even 70% of its potential. Nevertherless, uphill and downhill driving with such half arsed driving effort has already made my heart pump quicker than usual. The feeling of throttling while exiting corners is no longer only exciting, but with fear of oversteering and bang into other cars parked outside. This is one real naughty car I must say, but fun naughty car. :D
Surprisingly, with this car, I have only spun out once, and that is also because of my itchiness, drove into a corner at a mid range speed, kicked the clutch, wanted to upset the rear traction. It did happen, but I did not throttle, was immediately stunned....:P Don't blame me, I'm too used to driving a front wheeler.
Oh well, will sell this car as I'm heading home early next month for good, hopefully it will find a good owner soon and once I get back, I will have to save my own cash in order to get one of these Mazda sisters since my parents are planning to give me one of their automatic transmission cars, damn!!!!
Nice driving you MX5, will definitely miss driving you out with the top down and occasional drives up to Mount Vic.

:P
I know I haven't been updating my blog, but I've got no inspiration to write anything, so I'm sorry.
Miss this movie, a lot, downloaded one with very good quality, but English dubbed....diu
Definitely one of my favourite Jackie Chan movies, ever! Much better than the so-called racing movies, Initial D or the Fast and Furious series.
Even though I am no fan of the Mitsubishi FTO or the GTO, only the Evolution 3 appeals to me, I must say that this is one hell of a bad ass movie, however, there's one part that bothers me, a race between the FTO and the GTR? Other than that, I'm fine.
Not much lovey dovey scenes, only fight and race scenes with a great theme song, AWESOME I TELL YA AWESOME!!!!
PS: Do you all know that they raced in the old Batu Tiga Race Track in the movie? If Shah Ruk Khan(I don't know if I spelled it correctly or not) can get a datukship, why can't Jackie Chan? Not that I support the idea, but why not him first?

Officially a graduate!
My mum, brother, uncle and aunt came to visit, attended my graduation ceremony....it was great, can now officially call myself a graduate!!!! A little gutted though, time for me to look for a job.
Prospect of me working in NZ? Nah....fat hopes....
Just came back from the South Island, yesterday. Flight delayed, from 9.40a.m. to 11a.m. and the plane is a fuckin Q300, fit only 50 passengers, I must say that the journey back is a scary one, especially when nearing the Welly's airport....screw the wind....
Da Q300
South Island is beautiful, the route to Milford Sound, Queenstown, etc. Even Christchurch looks beautiful despite all the skinheads.
Will post some photos soon, if not get it at facebook.
Rejuvenated but homesick....may head home earlier than expected. Haha

Choice!!!!
Ever wonder why the title is "Choice"?
Well, if you are familiar with the New Zealand culture, then you'd probably understand.
The word "Choice" to us means decision, selection, option, etc. But only recently, I found out that there's actually a more in-depth meaning to the word. According to a certain dictionary, it can mean something of very good quality.
Either I am ignorant or the word is uncommon, I have yet to hear anybody using that word other than the New Zealanders.
A Kiwi girl once told me that the word "Choice" is "Cool" to them Kiwis. Which explains why a flatmate of mine often use that word, even though to me it sounds wrong.
Regardless, I'm amazed by the amount of slang the Kiwis have. I must admit that it took me a while to get used to their accent, moreover, different ethnic groups here have different kinds of accent. For example, the Islanders here, such as the Maori, Tongans and Samoans have a little bit of them African American accent and uses the word "Nigga" excessively, though sometimes it can be a little hard to understand these people, their accent is really cool. Even some of the Kiwis are finding it hard to understand them, LOL. Ironically, I am treated as one of the "niggas" and one of them even say that he treats me like a Black person. *No offence, I'm not being racist, my brother and I have always aspire to speak like you guys, you know what I'm sayin?
Who says adding "lah, mah, etc" in our sentences is wrong? Kiwis have "Ay" most of the time at the end of their sentences, just like our "eh" back home. But to be honest, I seriously can't stand some of the Malaysians here, who act like them Pakehas, immitating their accent and slang, which sounds so wrong. Worst of all, they can't even speak decent English. Damn those white people with their superiority.
Oh yea, I'm going to have a choice week next week! Heading to the South Island with my family....still contemplating whether to visit the Nevis Bungy or not, at Queenstown. I'm just stoked about this coming week.

Rose-tinted glasses officially off
Stalemate against West Ham. But we are still on top of the table right? With 1 point clear.
Realistically, this season is officially over, I don't see us challenging Chelsea or the Scums. Let's face it, the squad is nowhere near the quality of them. I hate to admit it, but when Gerrard's not playing well and neither is Torres, who can we rely on? Robbie Keane? The 20 million quid forward who can't score goal? Kuyt? The choker? N'Gog? The unproven striker?
What if Riera's injured too? Yossi? He looked jaded and flat during a few matches now, but for a player who just came back to the Premiership since playing in Manchester City a few seasons ago, who can blame him for that?
Unless Liverpool starts showing results for these few weeks, I don't see us challenging for the title this season. Chelsea drew against the Scums, lost against us and Arsenal but are only 1 point beneath us, the Scums had a slow start but is only 6 points behind us.
Also, thanks to our American owners, we are literally broke, thus, we can only dream of buying more players to add to our squad depth.
DARN!!!!
