Sorry for the super duper late update..
Firstly, i got accepted into my High School! Yay.. finally!
22nd Jan - Went to the school to check out the administration office. And they said they did receive my application but they sorta lost contact. But i got accepted. So then, we scheduled an appointment with the school's principal. Then, went to take the ESOL English Test. Its a test to see what level is my english so I can choose which English class to take. Yeah.. for year12, i have to take 6 subjects. But English is compulsory.. so I get to choose 5 subjects :) And for english, there is like 4 types of classes.. i know, very complicated!! haha..
23 Jan - Went to School to go for my interview. And the principal is super nice. Orang putih lah! And he started asking questions.. i got so nervous! haha.. but he said 'Ohhh, youre from Malaysia? We have about 20 ~ 30 students here from Malaysia and I find Malaysians very very handworking students!' HAHAHA! i got so shocked! anyway, he then said that he found out that malaysian students are better in Maths and Science as we started learning them since primary school and our standard is higher. i was happy.. haha! no one ever complimented on me for my science and maths.. haha! then.. he went throught my application.. he then turned to the page of my STTSS transcript! HAHA! OH NOOOO! but LUCKILY, he looked downwards then upwards.. so, of course, he saw my marks for Book Keeping, Commerce, PE, Economy, Geography and other 'higher' marks.. then he said 'wow, very good marks..' HAHA! like 70+ also is counted as good? wow! hahaha! I dont think he knows STTSS passing mark is 60? haha! then he was smiling then when he looked up, towards the Maths, Chinese, Bm part, it got kinda ugly.. haha! but luckily, my mum photocopied the transcript. therefore, its ALL BLACK! haha! thank goodness, maths would have shocked him! lol.. anyway, he said he knows im going to enjoy my school and i'll fit in just fine (awww, he was really kind) Then, i went to buy my school uniform.. wow! EXPENSIVE MAN! woah.. seniors wear long pants (thank goodness!) and we have to buy like sweaters and jackets.. so, yeah.. then went to buy my school shoes. not from the school, went to the mall.. and i bought those 'working' shoes.. where there is a bit of a 'heel' at the ends.. haha! so it makes me taller too! Weee!
My sis arrived AUCKLAND on the 23rd too! YAY! then, went to get the apartment keys. WERE MOVING IN! Wooo! going to upload more pics on the apartment later. Its kinda full with Asians around.. so, i wont feel weird! haha!
24 Jan - MOVE MOVE MOVE! finally moved all the stuff that we bought over the past month! woo.. so tiring ehh! hmm.. got so tired! the Bed company called saying they dont have the beds that we ordered! Boo.. so we have to wait till Wednesday.. Well, we (my mum, sis and I) had to ASSEMBLE the tables that we bought! ARGH! was so freaking hard lah! hahaha.. and super tiring too! cant believe we did it.. HAHA! Anyway, after moving, went shopping in Botany.. its like one level mall. just few minutes drive. its just opposite the apartment :) and my school is right behind the mall.. so i have to walk to school everyday! like 10 mins walk? yeah, its THAT near.. nearer than STTSS to DAMAI! its like STTSS to Lotus.. haha.. and the mall is like STTSS to Man Tai.. i think.. close a bit la.. hehe :)

Me fixing the dining table!

This is Botany!! The Cinema is behind me

There were Ducks below the apartment! HAHA!

Yayyy.. kinda blur eh?

Oooo.. ada swiming pool eh!
25 Jan - SYLVIA PARK!! the big shopping mall.. also one level shopping mall.. alot of good things there! Anyway, bought more stuffs! haha! finally got my CAP! yay! so so happy!! SALES is still ON! WOAH! since Xmas ohhh! walauehhh! so freaky! thats why i say 'People who are willing to spend money will definitely love shopping here during SUMMER! hahaha.. Well, bought a pants from General Issue (the shop which sales Abercrombie & Fitch and Hollister and General Issue clothes and other products.. So cheappp! I bought Abercrombie & Fitch AGAIN! wanted to buy a Hollister shirt.. but there NO BIGGER SIZE! Shucks.. i hate it when that happens! When i was younger, i hoped there would be a 'S' size..now, i want a 'M' or 'L'.. dont have eh! Arghh!! Anyway, the pants was $89.90 before sales.. but then, when i went there previously, it was $49..i wanted to buy it sooooo badly! coz its sooooo comfortable! But it was still a bit too expensive.. Then, when i went there, i saw, $29!!! HAHA! i quickly rush to that corner and hoped that they had my size (since im skinny and all) and luckily, they had my size! woo! Grabbed it and rushed to the fitting room.. and it fits! Woo! bought it straight away :) I just love shopping in Sylvia Park.. Then, felt a bit hungry.. so went to BURGER FUEL! Woo! they have the biggest Burgers that i've seen in my life! I finished one whole burger though! hahaha.. got too hungry..

My Cap. YAY! i love it!

The shirt that didnt have a bigger size!

Oh noo! im in love with Britney's CIRCUS! hahaha! the song.. i havent got the album yet. im so addicted to it! haha..somehow, i imagine myself in the Ai Classroom now singing and getting high with MJ and zoe will be filming us.. HAHA! Circus.. i love the bridge part.. too bad Kou wouldnt be there to be our back-up dancer though..
All the eyes on me in the center of the ring
Just like a circus
Went down to the city centre yesterday.. went past Queens Street the other day (the main shopping street) I saw Gucci and LV shops.. plus other branded shops but i kinda forgot.. haha.. you cant blame me! i just realised that there are alot Shopping malls in NZ! really big ones too! err.. its not tall like centre point is.. the most is 2 levels.. but, the shops are great.. especially the number to 'guy' shops! haha! so glad to be shopping here. Note: if youre rich or if your nt too rich but willing to spend money on yourself, NZ is the place!! I tell you, the SALES here NEVER EVER ends! till now! wow.. summer sales are GREAT! i can tell both gals and guys will love it here.. Sales up to 75%! so shocking! so, if ur planning to find a place to go to just mainly for shopping, NZ is the place u wanna be! Really, good deals everyday. Saw this jacket the other day (for gals, was accompanying my mum) and it was originally $269 and after discount, it was like $49.! WOAH! cheap rite? then i overheard the store owner talking to this customer saying they have to get rid of stock to stock up Winter clothes, so everything has to go.. but try imagine....$269 to $49, SUCH A BIG DIFFERENCE!!! But the cost of living and the food here is quite exp though.. hehe..
AUCKLAND CENTRAL CITY
Went Sylvia Park today (a shopping mall) and went through shop by shop.. its kinda easy coz its just one level.. so no stairs, no lifts, no escalators! so its just one long long stretch of walkway with lots and lots of shops.. there's Playboy here too! but its mainly all girls shirts.. something very weird, the other day, went pass a Quiksilver shop in another mall, and there werent any sales at all.. but today, at Sylvia Park, Roxy has Sales! so freaky. i thought they would hav sales since summer almost is coming to an end.. hmmm.. but then i still bought a RipCurl Shirt :) kinda cheap (i guess) $25.90.. after discount. it was at this shop called Amazon. I actually loved 2 shirts.. but me mama cakap only beli satu.. so.. yeahh.. but i liked a cap there too.. hahaha! wating for bapa to datang sini dulu baru sama sama pergi jalan jalan.. HAHA! i just miss Malaysia too much!
The other shirt that i wanted but didnt get :( RIPCURL
hmmm.. the toilets here are super duper clean.. plus, its free.. haha! not like eeeky malaysian shooping mall toilets.. tandas pun mau beri duit masuk! haha.. anyway, Went to Rebel the other day (err,sports shop, a really BIG BIG BIG shop which sells all Branded sports goods plus branded clothes.. etc Nike, Adidas, Puma....) and they had sales.. haha! my hands started tog et really really itchyyy! so, in the end, bought 3 things.. kinda a good deal i guess.. Gloria Jeans punya Espresso Creme Brulee Chillers ROCKS my socks off! i dont know how am i going to tahan here without spending money.. argh.. needa start saving though.. bummer!

GLORIA JEANS COFFEE!!!
I Dyed my hair again the other day.. nothing really special.. i jus used the left overs from my mums.. coz my roots are black.. so its really yucky.. so dyed it really dark brown.. so u cant really see the diff.. i dont know what to do with my hair already. im kinda lost. its looks like crap now.. HAHA! no more spikey lahhh! all FLAT! i have kinda made up my mind to keep it flat and let it GROWWW! hehe! Went to church this morning too.. a new experience for me here.. hehe.. will be going to church more often (fingers crossed!)
School is starting soon.. Just to clear everyone up, it starts on the 2nd Feb.. and uniform sales starts tomorrow.. but i havent got accepted into my school yet.. soo... yeah, im kinda school-less.. HAHA! funny eh? but will going to the school tomolo or the day after.
The Australian Open starts tomorrow too! this is the first time since i fell in love with tennis that im not really interested in this coming grand slam. of coz, theres no LIVE coverage here.. there is, but u have to subscribe but its pretty pricey.. Maria is not playing, therefore, im kinda not interested at the moment.. haha! i know, im dramatic.. hahahaha..
Ugly Betty has started to get pretty interesting.. cant wait for the next episode to be publish in youtube.. keke..its getting jucier and jucier!! WOO!

Everyone has to get David Cook's new single (its not really new, but hey, i still LOVE it!) Light On.. it rocks man! its stuck in my head.. Declaration also is really good! ah, what the heck, his whole album is great! haha..Well, its been kinda boring here in NZ as school hasnt started and i cant download all my stuff! ARGH! the internet plan here is BAD! there's no plan that has unlimited downloads! bummer! its pretty exp to download here.. like $NZ 1.30 for one GB.. and i download ALOT of stuff.. so, i have to control myself from now on.. argh!Summer is really getting HOT.. went jogging the other day (thats my ONLY work-out here) and i sweat like CRAZY! haha.. it was mainly coz of the hot sun. Mosquitoes and Flies are appearing more and more each day! so angry.. Nz has been pretty good so far. The SALES just wouldnt stop! so tempting! hahahaha! well, bought alot of stuf for the apartment.. so happy to finally finish the furniture shopping. haha! Will be moving the furnitures on the 23 Jan and will most likely move in on 29 Jan.. nt too sure yet.. My sis will be coming over for CNY! yay! the sis who is currently in Aussie i mean.. hehe.. she will be buying me stuff.. so YAY! and shes getting IKEA stuff for our new apartment.. so double YAY! hahaha.. i have always come to like IKEA's stuff :) hmm.. i kinda miss the STTSS routine. not the waking up early part though.. but the good parts.. hmmm.. i think the teachers in AI this year is kinda, easy to get along with.. i mean, it wouldnt be that hard as it was this year (hint hint: MATHS) he is one of the teachers that i will NEVER forget.. yeah, copying down notes all day, every lesson definitely helps us learn maths.. Boo..I have been a couch potato here. pouring myslef to the TV series.. But NZ is wayyyy more updated than KK is! hahah! there's Grey Anatomy, House, Heroes, America's Next top model, Americas Smartest Model, Survivor, LOST, Beauty and the Geek, etc.. i have been totally ADDICTED to Brothers & Sisters. haha.. i find it kinda funny.. and it sort of have this unexpected thing with it.. dont really know how to explain.. just that, im addicted to it.. and also, cant wait till American Idol starts! NZ will play them the next day it was filmed.. unlike KK, wher they show them about one month late or weeks! haha! and ive been watching Britannia High too. dont really find it interesting but hey, thats what i do everyday! haha.. its kinda like High School Musical thing.. but it is acted by British people.. so the accent is more interesting and stuff.. but its something diff than HSM.. but then.. its also a bit a like.. the songs are kinda weird.. but hey, its ok to me :) Hmm.. the movies here are kinda outdated but atleast there are movies at night! Pirates of the caribbean, Never been kissed are a few of the movies i have watched.. and those really Horny movies, they show them here! haha! kinda expected.. i really think MJ would love it here.. haha! from dudes jogging half naked, guys wearing swimming trunks in beaches to horny movies almost everynight, Mj would definitely fit in here straight away! HAHAHA! ahh..they show American Pie here like twice a week! haha! but i didnt care to watch.. kinda lazy.Just to let Hajar & Mj know, i HAVENT deleted ANY pics yet.. so here are some preview shots :) HAHA! i asked for Mj's permission oledi.. so i guess it is ok?

What a HUGE disappointment! argh.. just found out that Maria Sharapova will not be playing in the Australian Open this year. what a bummer.. tennis hasnt been as interesting when Maria left the game during August due to a shoulder injury. I mean, this horrible news really leaves a dent in your heart. I thought she was getting better and fully recovered from her surgery on her shoulder. She first had to pull out of her tournament in Hong Kong.. it seems that her shoulder hasnt recovered since her surgery. Boo! I miss her :(
Wont be defending her title this year

I somehow just love this pic. Her green-blue eyes

Her nagging shoulder injury

Sports Illustrated

That's HER!

I JUST LOVE HER

Hellooo.. where do I begin? hmmm....
My life here has been kinda in a mess... been going round and round searching for a house or an apartment... (just to clear everyone up, im currently living with my aunt.) in the first 3 weeks here, i've been going round and round searching for a house, beds, furnitures, pillows, quilts, household stuff, dining sets, etc.... really a headache.. haha! been into Briscoes (this household shop thing) for like 3 times a week.. coz they change theyre price everyday! so there maybe one day where a dining set maybe on 20% off.. so you have top go back the next day to check whether its cheaper or not... so yeah... have been going back and forth to almost ALL the main furniture and household shops in the district! hahaha! so tiring! well, the weather here have been kinda weird.. you could really get sick here if you dont wear the proper clothing. it could be really windy one minute, and sunny the next.. then the rain may come and sunshine.. so.. you gotta be prepared.. it was 13°C the other day.. and it was 27°C the next.. so... its kinda weird being here. Well, no one is on9 now.. just Charles... HAHA! coz everyone has school.. and im usually stuck at home.. or going out hunting for SALES and furnitures.. so im missing all my friends.. (i dont know whats MJ's problem.. im free now ma, think and blog about you guys cannot meh???)

Well, i went to watch the Qualifying rounds.. coz it was FREE! haha.. i found out that the rest of the tickets for the quaters onwards were SOLD OUT! SOLD OUT I TELL YOU!!! they started selling them last October! haiz. so i went there. ASB Tennis Centre, and watched one qualifying round match.. coz my i felt really bad, about the fact that it was kinda boring for my aunt and mum.. so i decided to leave.. before that, i walked around the WHOLE area finding + searching + hunting for PRO players! haha.. really wanted to meet them.. but didnt find them.. so sad lah! walk around the whole freaking area for nothing! haha.. so we went to the main auditorium and was ready to leave.. and THEN! i saw Caroline Wozniacki.! then, behind her, Shahar Peer (i didnt take a pic with her) and they were talking.. omg! i was so happy + nervous! in the presence of GREATNESS! haha! then i went up to her, and ask her whether would she mind to take a pic with me, and she said 'SURE' (she's the nicest of all of them, i think.. DUH! she's the youngest and one of the HOTTEST!) keke.. then suddenly, Michaella Krajicek came out! she just finished her match.. wooo! i went across the room to take a pic with her.. (she was nice too) then, Nicole Vaidisova came out! so i went rushing to her.. haha! then she kinda had a 'face' (i think she was in a bad mood) after i asked her, she said 'ok' (but still, with a moody face) and the pic didnt turn out that nice.. (with her kinda moody face!) soooo.. while waiting for the main person (Elena Dementieva), we waited and waited and waited.. and she didnt come out.. so we decided to leave.. then, we stepped out of the door, then one glance back at the window, I SAW HER!!! her tall shadow! WOO! i rushed back in! hahahaha! i think that they were going in for a conference or for an interview.. not too sure.. so, i rushed back in, and ask her.. and she agreed! haha.. she was nice too! she smiled.. haha! i was shaking when i stood next to her! SERIOUSLY! in the presence of a Olympic Gold Medalist ohhh! i was shaking.. so i didnt stand too close to her.. (regret that now!) argh! haha.. but all in all, it was GREAT! i was in the right place, in the right time! so happy! and guess what? NO ONE TOOK A PIC WITH THEM! it was only me! WOOOO! haha!
