Hey people.. i've been so busy these few days. Busy with school. Today is thursday..and i started school at 10am. only on thursday i start school at 10am. I usually start at 8.40am. But i have to be in school at 8.30am.. yeahh..so i got to wake up late today. Weee.. anyway, this week has been a tiring and stressful week. On monday, i had to do a speech on myself in front of my Business Operations class. I know.. kinda lame.. but i HAD to do it! hahaha.. anyway, it went well.. talked about my ex-classmates lo!! (they better be reading this!) HAHA! then, had loads and loads of homework.. so went home, and finished my homework.. Tuesday came..in school, had Media Studies first, and we watched anothed MOVIE! (oh yea,i forgot to tell u guys,last week, i watched a horror & thriller short movie. its called Kitchen Sink.) anyway, we watched 'Dracula' (the 1940's punya version, i think) only watched halfway,coz the bell rang..then had loads of other homework to do..btw, my cousin from Canada came over to NZ, with his friend, Kirk. So we went to dinner at night to welcome them. I know.. sounds weird.. i dont know how to put these words into a sentence.. anyway, Wednesday came.. i was still tired and my homework is piling up.. plus, i needa finish my maths homework and my financial literacy program project. i have to create a 'Dream Board'. with all my goals and dreams in it. hahaha! funny eh? but due to the fact that i dont have any magazines and pictures here, i have to do it in the computer! so ma fan! so, using my Photoshop skills from 'Mr.David Wong's' computer class to help me. i knew listening to boring photoshop lessons will pay off in the future :) muahahah! anyway, back to the story, so, i told the teacher that i couldnt finish in time.. so he gave me till monday! YAY! hahaha.. i had to use the 'new student here' excuse AGAIN! in a few weeks time, i dont tink i'll be able to use that line again! shucks! hahaha.. Well, lets see.. i have made more friends again. Oh yeah, i think i'll be moved to a harder english class.. not to brag or anything, but the teacher thought my english was good and she thinks that staying in that ESOL class would not benefit for me, so shes changing me to another harder class.. awww.. i don wanna move! coz ALL asians are there and i have LOTS of friends! hahaha.. but ah well, what to do? haiz..
Went shopping last saturday.. and i tell you, SALES is still everywhere! well, almost 70% of the shops there are still on sales.. crazy huh? my mum bought a scarf for RM2! haha! i bought one scarf for rm6! and its the good quality type.. (thank goodness not MADE IN CHINA!) hahah! bought a Billabong Cap, Turtle neck long sleeves shirt (for winter) one abercrombie & fitch shirt, one RipCurl shirt.. was going to buy LOADS more.. but i had to control myself.. haha! its just too hard to resist! wanted to buy this Adidas shirt.. it was only rm30 oh! i know.. was soooooo tempted.. but in the end, i didnt buy it..my aunt bought a pair of jeans for rm20 only! hahah! i know, cheap huh? wher can u find a pair of jeans thats rm20 and the quality is good. well, not really GOOD GOOD.. but GOOD. at least its wearable lah! haha! i wanna go shopping AGAIN!
Sports day is NEXT WEEK!!! next tues, to be exact.. hehe! i know.. hopefully i'll bring my camera there, and snap photos for u guys.. cant wait.. i wont be joining any events though.. haha! dont think so.. its not like u need to fill out a form for which events ur participating in.. u just needa go to the starting line, and RUN! i know.. such a relaxing sports day.. its called 'Athletics Day'. I needa get a purple shirt by next tuesday. coz im in Purple Whanau so i needa get a purple shirt. gay, i know.. but i dont wanna be the one left out. HAHA! weird eh? anyway, my friends said that they dont participate at all.. they jus sit down and talk and talk and laugh. hahah! im not sure what will i be doing. but they have other activities, e.g, jumping and teamwork games. kinda interesting.. so i will have to see what i will do :D no pictures up yet.. sorry Mj, no pics from my getaway in Bay of Islands. hahaha! just too tired to 'wait' for it to finish uploading..

ARGH! hahahaha.. another very weird and confusing day. my feets hurts so bad. coz i walked like the WHOLE school! so lousy man! all the teachers dont know where is where and they just direct me to EVERYWHERE! i went into the same office 3 times in one day! so angry. i got so lost the first 3 days! like walking everywhere! couldnt find my classes + Economics is missing from my timetable. so i had to find the teacher to change again. SUPER MA FAN! so angry. and tired too. after not going to school in 4 months? i yawned almost every minute in class and was so tired on the way back! hrmph.. anyway, today is my 4th day..and everything is coming into shape. very very very slowly though! hmm.. lets see, Maths is freaking easy. thank goodness! i was so afraid maths would be hard.. manatau, easy eh! learning algebra now. e.g 5X - 1 = 9 , 5X = 10 , X = 2 , right? haha! easy anot? they just add more numbers and 'x' to the later questions. its so very easy, compared to freaking ADD MATHS. lol. and my Maths teacher is really really kind and nice. He's a guy. but he teaches really well too, explains step by step (even though i kinda know how to do, so perasan,rite?!) hahaha! out of all the maths teacher that has taught me before, i would have to say he's the best. errr..mayb my top 2. i still liked my primary4 maths teacher.. she was really nice. and she tidak pandai marah murid punya! haha! anyway, i hope i can score in my maths so that i can get more credits. lets see, i have made new friends. if u can call them 'friends' even if you dont remember their names. HAHA! sorry bah! alot of new faces with new names and i cant remember. so, i have met one british guy, one south african (but not 'black', putih punya), one indonesian girl (shes really nice and shes the first person to come up to me), two indian girls (who are kinda funny and weird, a good kinda weird, u know? like hajar!), two asian girls, dont know where are they from (woops) two hong kong guys (got one guy who has a nickname of 'Hong Kong Superstar' so u know he is kinda hot la and like has perfect hair etc.), one thai guy (he's really crazy and high and he know a bit of malay e.g 'anjing' LOL rite??), one taiwan guy and three china guys (their cina reli 'cina'. but atleast i could understand them! but guess what? they cant understand my chinese! HAHA!) hmmm..thats all.. wait, come to think of it, i do have quite alot of friends. but i dont think they can be really called my real friends since i dont reli know their names? HAHA! i feel so bad! i made a promise to myself to get to know them! the so called 'Hong Kong Superstar's' name is called Welton. yeah, didnt know another welton existed! the indonesian girl, the south african guy and the british guy are i think the closest i am to. well, im trying really really hard to not use the malaysian slang. althought i get kinda caught up in words, and the lah bah kah ah all start coming out again. HAHA! anyway, ive been put into ESOL English class. in a easy english class for those students who come from another country. not to be bragging or anything, but after today, my teacher read my summary to a story book, she thought i wrote it really well and i think shes gona promote me to English Class Band B (a diff english class) but guess what? i dont kinda wanna go! coz i made new friends with asians in that class, PLUS, i can score better in that class. ey? hahahahaha.. its true what, why would i wanna be in a harder english class and have to make new friends in the class all over again? haha! i know its suppose to be good for me.. but what the heck? got banyak Koreans oso. i think if Mj come here kan, she will die oh! i think they are ok la. but i think Mj will fall-in-love with them. really tall and fit guys. i feel so skinny around them. LOL! (pls, no comment on this sentence!) anyway, got this really cute korean guy and gal. they wear their school tie really short and wear those nerdy nerdy glasses! haha! so cute oh! even though they are like 17 yrs old? HAHA! err, i think economics here is kinda complicated here. NZ stuff is so complicated! haha.. err, Media Studies is kinda interesting. i think Fay they all would enjoy this class. This yrs theme is called 'Horror' BIG SH*T! hahahah! i dont really watch horror movies, so, im afraid im gona struggle with this topic. and they talke about all the horror and thriller movies, and i kinda felt left out coz i dont reli know all the movies! hahah! but i hope it will get better.. anyway, Financial Literacy class has been kinda 50-50. i havent really set myself into that course just yet. but its getting interesting. haha! the teacher said he will help us to save money! YAY! haha.. i hope he can help me :) last but not least, Business Operations class.. BOO! i hate it! firstly, the teacher is sooo weird! err.. i think he's indian. sorry la teacher, but i think im gonna struggle if i stay in ur class. for real, he gets bullied by ALL of the students in the class! plus, almost all the students in the class are really noisy and irritating and annoying. like they talk really loud and really really really noisy! i fell kinda bad for the teacher too. but he cant stand up for himself. and i think i wont enjoy that class. therefore, im going to change classes! maybe taking up Graphics. not too sure just yet. i wanna get into Photography. but i think that i cant get in coz its full oledi. im not sure. im still kinda blur on what class to take to trade with Business operations. pray for me! p/s will update on my BAY OF ISLANDS trip soon. got ALOT ALOT of pics! esp hot guys and gals. i curi curi take their pics o! so many lagi! hahahah! i wanna change Mj's decision and make her move to NZ! hahaha!!!! wait for the pics mj,ok? and YES, i do think of my STTSS classmates when im in my new school :) Missing everyone back in KK, Stephen

School. Wow. No comment. Hahahah! very weird, i know. anyway, so here it goes - Moved into the new apartment on 3rd February! woo! haha.. we moved in coz i needa walk to school on the next day. I was scheduled to go to school for 2 hours only, to fill out my courses form. So, slept over in the new apartment, the next morning, listened to McFly-Lies and Pink-Sober on the way to school on my Mp3. Once reached school, felt sooo nervous, scared, anxious and all other emotions. Got so lost on where to go. I was hoping for someone who is nice to ocme up to me and introduce themselves, manatau, NO ONE came up to me. HAHA! then, went into this hall, this 15 minutes assembly thing just to inform us about some stuffs, then the principal asked for 'New Students' to stay back. so i stayed back and went to the stage to look at a list of classes to find which class i am located in. Found out that im in 12S10. S stands for SPIRIT. HAHA! and my Whanau (colour) is Purple. so my whole class block is in Purple. yeap. so, this lady took me and this other new student to my class. My kinda forgot my Whanau Tutor's name coz i was in a rush and stuff. and guess what? the new student who is in the same class as me, is also called Steven. Shoots! haha.. i was so so so shocked! and everyone in the class was like ' oh noooo, we have two steve's ' ARGH! hahaha.. i was laughing and so was them. so funny! anyway, we sat down and the list of courses were distributed. choosing courses is so so so extremely MA FAN i tell you! walaueh! i took like one hour in just choosing. coz it has different Option Line, and there is 6 lines where you can only choose ONE subject in one line. so its very difficult to choose just one coz usually there is 2 or 3 subjects which i like but its on the same line. get it? so in the end, i chose English, Maths, Financial Literacy, Business Operations, Media Studies and Economics. And i thought that is all, manatau, need to find the respective teachers to get their signature again o! OMG! so hectic la! then, had to go to the Conference room, and find the respective teacher in charge of these subjects, who know, all of these teachers are in the same big room. omg! its like one Sttss Classroom and about 20 teachers inside there representing their own subject. So its very very cramp in there plus in stuffy coz like alot of students are in there shoving, pushing around and me, bring, small and skinny, have been pushed around the whole room, trying to get my way. such a horrible situation! and then the Economics teacher didnt wanna let me take Economics coz it was FULL! wow, so i told him that i needa take Economics so that i have a better chance on getting Credits and getting a better chance to get into uni. yeap, so ma fan. so he asked me to show any report that showed that i studies Economics before. so i had to walk all the way to the Reception Office to get a copy of my transcript from Sttss. i was so tired after that. then had to go to my classroom, and make sure my class teacher is still there. Then, go back to the conference room, on the second floor to find the Economics teacher, AGAIN! argh! luckily, my Ekonomi Asas 1st term is quite HIGH. so he was kinda impressed and he said 'wow, this is a good report card' haha! i was shocked! anyway, he said im on a contract now, and he has to keep an eye on me, and check on me and after one month or so, he will make a decision whether i meet his requirements to take up this Economics course coz its all about the economics in Nz. so im not kinda confirmed in Economics just yet, if i dont meet his requirements, then i will have to be put in Legal Studies class which is not recognised by Unis. so yeah, i HAVE TO GET INTO UNI! so, anyway, almost all teacher in charge of the subjects that i have applied for, they say English is very very important in most of the course work so i might have to work really hard in order to keep up. that made me very very scared. after that, needa go back to the classroom to find my class teacher, get her signature, then i had to fill out another form, then sign the previous form, then find my Whanau Leader and get her signature. WOW! STRESSED i tell you! argh! so then after everything was done, i walked all the way home again. Hahaha.. really, a hectic day! Woooo...
Why hasnt anyone updated their blog eh? haha.. i wanna know whats happening in Sttss wor! haha.. i feel so left out. i miss everyone there. Shucks.
