routine

ever wonder what am i usually up to in wellington?

when you start working, things are pretty much of a routine.

since me and mag don't know much people over here. our choices are almost zero...

our friends are pretty much our work mates.

lets see...

on weekdays, we work.

we wake up early in the morning and work till 5. Since winter is sort off over, we get to enjoy some daylight after work. we try to make it a point to cook on weekdays to save money. we occasionally eat out on weekdays. weekday nights are pretty much spent at home. that involves cooking, watching tv, resting and surfing the net.

tuesdays are quite special to me as I get to play indoor soccer. I play with my work mates from ministry of justice in a mix league team. but it is almost over now..we are in the semis! woot!


as for weekends, we will try to get our asses outside of the house. we will often wake up around noon and go walkabout in this small and vibrant city. maybe do some washing,

some groceries

shopping

eating good food

we have tried all the dim sum places and have two favourite place we often go to - regal and grand century.

rent a couple of dvds/ go to the movies.

church

and so on..

you get the idea. sucks to be working eh..sigh..

not sighing in a bad way but time sure flies..one moment i was in high school and suddenly i'm in nz. not complaining at all but thankful really. consider myself extremely lucky. one thing i regret is not getting to know my family and friends more..get to know them better. shall do that from now on when given the opportunity. miss yum cha sessions!!! ARGHH!!


anyway really looking forward for warmer weather, going back to malaysia next year and going back to auckland during labour weekend on october! wooohooo

and for now...weekend faster come!!

updates

why didn't i have time to update me blog...

1) psp
2) tired after work
3) working in the night(freelance)
4) olympics

those were some of the main reasons/excuses for not updating my blog. it is true though.

ever since i got the psp, i've been playing non stop every night and been researching, reading forums/game reviews, downloading games, modding and buying a memory stick and all. since i bought the previous memory stick and it didn't work properly..now i'm returning it and getting a new one. so more time surveying on trademe(like ebay in nz) looking for a new one. Be careful of fake memory sticks out there...there are lots of them.

as for work. work is still work. been working for almost 2 months now at the ministry of justice. i can't find the type of jobs i want but what the heck i'm not complaining. what ever i can get i'll grab it. as for those who are wondering what i am doing, i'm only a admin co-ordinator. $15 per hour...sad..but recently there was an opening for the same role but more responsibilities in the finance side which i have no experience at all but it is all easy stuff and the kind people i work with are teaching me lots these few weeks so i could get the job which is only advertised internally. job pay not so bad lar..35k - 47kmax for the admin & finance co-ordinator role. handed me application now waiting for interview. so i'm hopeful.

been sleeping late this past week as my old employer gave me some freelance job. it is updating on a presentation tool they created. this is the second time they came to me because they can't find someone so cheap and know what they want. lol..better than nothing..get paid $25per hour so not complaining either. real programmer charge $40 per hour. siao! so i guess money wise, i am well fed but still struggling to save because of my love for technology. it is costing me..lol..just bought a ipod nano today. and if i do really get the role at the ministry i will want to buy a canon dslr 450d. ....shit man..no wonder i am so poor all the time.

anyway olympics is damn cool. phelps and bolt...freaks! so i guess that is about it.

sooo...hopefully now i get the job so i can work for another year or so and all me gadgets can keep me entertained and i can stop worrying about everything else and get ready to go back to malaysia!!! i miss home very very much..life is pretty boring here..so hopefully the weather gets better so me and mag can go out tomorrow!.....come out mr. sun.

tireddd..

look at what i got!!

what a wonderful shocking surprise!!

mag got me a psp!! yabadabadooooo!!

yeap u read it right. a SONY PSP!!

i am a very happy boy. hehe..

she is just so sweet. i feel so guilty though..cause it is not cheap. i always wanted a psp or a game console and i was just asking for her advice whether i should get one because i am bored most of the time cause nothing to do in wellington...and walla...wat a surprise.

thank you magdalene lin min yi!!!

on another note, after watching dark knight the other day, i suddenly missed home.

so i decided to ask my brothers to take my family and go watch the movie as one of my aunty like to watch action movies a lot. i brought her a couple of times to watch some action movies when i was in malaysia.

in saying that i thought my brothers were going to be too busy with work and family that they will not have time to take them to the movies. so i rang home and told my mom and aunty to ask my brothers to bring them there. just so my brothers cannot find any excuse and run away because mom and aunty already requested.heheh

mom and aunty said they missed me and haven't heard from me for awhile...my heart dropped...sigh..i miss them too..boohoooo note to myself..got to call home more often..

anyway one year will go by quickly and soon i will be home. =)

my brother sent me some photos as well...look at my lil nephews..so adorable.

they gone on a boat ride in the mines shopping complex.

where are you guys taking me??
