simple n fulfilling

rather than cracking my head to write marketing brochures for the company, so glad got some simple design work to do........ but no more meaningful work after tis liao!

zero

for the first time, TOTALLY no work tdy...... even reading seismic techincal papers makes me zzzzz......

Hail!

Colleagues say there was hail over the weekend, size of it is slightly smaller than ping pong ball, hitting hard on their windows…….

really?? I’m definitely not aware since my apartment windows aren’t the outermost façade……. Imagine these hitting down hard while walking outside!

wet weather plan

when it's no good to tour on rainy days, can do shopping instead! was at Ponsonby suburb where unique shops r....... mayb i sua gu but i never seen these b4......

chopstick holder

watever they r, they r not cheap!

doesn't quite look like autumn but like the tree-lined street beside the traditional NZ villas

the bonus of rainy days....... gotta capture it at its brightest, few secs later, the radiance was gone.

on the verge of hibernation

it's been colder these days (winter not here yet!), dun feel like going anywhere unless necessary.......

so dun expect photos for the time being!!

brrrrr......

medical deficiency

NZ news always say 3 or 4 confirmed flu cases n 10+ suspected cases........ cuz NZ gotta wait for days for test results to be back from Aust....... the tests only take few hours to conduct.

juz saw a documentary abt Wellington cancer kids gotta seek treatment from Auckland or Christchurch, n immigrant doctors resigning from Wellington hospital after 6 mths due to empty promises n insufficient resources......

another damning report abt hospitals:- http://www.nzherald.co.nz/health/news/article.cfm?c_id=204&objectid=10569713

where is your husband??!

my lady colleague n her husband stay in a rather unsafe suburb. once when she was by herself at home, a dark pacific guy neighbour knocked on her door and asked:

'where is your husband??!'

of course she was damn frightened n dun dare to open the door n only talked through an open window instead. Turns out dat the neighbour need her husband to help start up his car.......

some days later, an indian guy neighbour knocked on her door and asked:

'where is your husband??'

happens dat her husband was sleeping, the indian neighbour then said: 'oh, then u come n have a drink wif me instead!'


good grief.......

wat logic??

NZ custom has been v strict in prohibiting raw foods, soils, live plants coming into the country...... anyone who fails to declare them gets fined at abt NZD200.

Now swine flu has likely arrived in NZ...... who's going to pay this fine??!

I more scared of SG gahmen than swine flu...... if matters get worse, I beta fly back earlier, rather than be required to be quarantined later!

direction sense

usually I roam around unfamiliar places after one glance of the map....... may get lost, realised it quickly n found my way back without looking at the map.......

when I was 6+ years old in my 1st school bus trip home, I din understand y the bus still had not reach my home n so many kids got off already....... it especially did not make sense when I was not the first few kids the bus picked up when going to school. So when i saw a familiar place, I immediately got off n walked abt 15 mins home...... when the bus would have let me off a few stops later...... well, got lots worried abt a missing kid but was so proud of myself finding my way back!!

so the directional instincts r all in-built!

Pink!

since i m not eligible to apply for NZ credit card (cuz i not citizen, PR or have student visa?!), got a visa debit card instead...... finally can make online purchases with NZ$!

most imptly, it's pink! :D
