Maori~

The indigenous people of New Zealand...

Today was more or less all about them (and the PIs)~

And so will the next 2 days~

Lectures were pretty boring I must say~

But the FLEP performance was awesome...

There was this dude who I thought looked quite alike to Chris Brown lol And he had this really amazing voice...

Actually, all of them who performed had amazing voices O.o

And they sang quite a few awesome songs lah... 'Man in the Mirror', 'Perfect', 'Baby, Can I Hold You Tonight' to name a few :)

And they had this play too.. really good in my opinion :) You could really feel their emotions as they played it...

I've got to say.. I was thoroughly impressed!

Anyways, after that we had a short lecture by the dude who was in-charge of FLEP...

And after another lecture and a short video, we went to Orakei Marae :)

After the Powhiri (a welcoming ceremony) we had some light refreshments lol

Which was awesome XDD

They served the largest mussels I've ever seen... it was 3.5 inches long and 2-2.5 inches wide... and that was the MEAT XD

Had some pastry thing as well.. and various cakes~ And also chicken wings :)

Didn't eat too much though... as dinner was waiting for us back in the halls~

We left around 5.45pm I think and got back to the halls for dinner... chicken pizza today :)

That's all I guess?

Running out of HD space lol

Yeah... My second partition on my drive is running low on space... I think I have less than 20GBs left O.o

Anyways... more importantly, I need to take some jabs =.="

Apparently I need Hep B AND MMR...

I'm positive I've had MMR before... so I'm not sure why I need it... but the blood test results says I need it...

Hep B... *sigh*

This is going to be expensive :(

First Blood!

Not that I drew my first vial of blood today (which would probably what I would name my post lol)...

Anyways, today was the first day of lectures..

It was pretty OK I guess, still not used to the fact that we have more than 2 hours worth of lectures a day.. so it was pretty heavy for me lol

Went back to Grafton for lunch~

Mmm.. nothing much la actually... felt a bit intimidated by all the Kiwis because most of them are already in their own cliques and what not...

*sigh*

Dinner was ok~ Had fish and salad :)

Played table tennis a bit with Kelvin and Jing Guo~ Pretty fun I must say lol

I'd rather be playing Badminton or Squash though... will only get membership for the Rec Centre in March unfortunately :(

Ah well...

Till then... hopefully I don't gain TOO much weight lol

Tomorrow will be the end of my 'holidays'

Yeah.. officially starting classes on Monday~ Lectures for 2 weeks before we get involved in our postings...

Anyhoo...

Today was mostly uneventful...

Woke up for breakfast, basically tried to get my computer to work a little better... had lunch and bummed till about 4pm before we headed out towards... Mission Bay~

The road to it was closed though due to Waitangi Day celebrations~

So we parked in Okahu Bay and walked the distance to Mission Bay~

Kelvin droved of course :)

Nothing much to see really... but at Okahu Bay, we saw the greatest concentration of Kiwis since we came here lol

And after walking a bit.. we got back to Grafton Hall...

We couldn't make dinner sadly but we did leave our names for late dinner...

Unfortunately, we didn't get the salmon lasagna and got the chicken instead :(

On the bright side, we did get one Magnum ice-cream each :D

Just had a game of Left 4 Dead 2 with Boon... we hardly scraped through Normal lol

Classes starting soon...

Windows 7~

Just formatted my computer and installed Windows 7 on it...

Am happy with it so far :)

We'll see how it goes hehe..
