Red

Salam to all.

Just to let you know, whenever I'm writing, that means I'm in an emotional state. Good mood, bad mood, whatever.

So I guess you can feel what my mood is for today thanks to this boring intro. *hint HINT*

I just came back from Rec Centre and no, I didn't go there for a workout. I thought of playing basketball but there's just a lot of terer guys. So yeah, confidence breakdown and stuff.

A month.

What have I gained? What have I learnt?

Well, I did learn a few Maori expressions.

Kia Ora - Greetings. Hello. Goodbye.

Ko (insert name here) toku ingua. - My name is (insert name here).

Thank you Cherie for being my teacher!

Improvement? yeah.

Yesterday was kinda fun.

After my class at Tamaki, I went for lunch, solat zohor and put on my red T-Shirt to volunteer for the Red Puppy Appeal with some of the 9th-floor people. Asked for donations from complete stranger at the corner of Queens St. and Wellesley St with Keri. Made a 'If you can see this, be grateful! Donate! Help the blind!' poster and proudly hold it up for people to ponder -and donate-.  In case you want to know, the money collected will be used to train guide dogs for the blind. Cherie, Tyler, Liz and Akune was there too. Our plead for donations didn't always get positive response but when someone put something into the bucket, we felt really glad and somehow, appreciated for our small effort. And it's a great feeling.

After that, went shopping at Kathmandu. I saw on TV about that store's great sale and I was really excited to go shopping! And I wasn't dissappointed! Yeay!! Really super duper discounts! Mwahahaha! <--euphoric response to discounts. normal.

I bought a $67 sleeping bag (used to be $170), $50 fleece pullover (used to be $100++ I think) and $20 kids pullover (used to be $99.90). You know what?? the kids pullover (and mind you, that one perfectly suit me! not too small and not that big!) was available in two colours. My first choice was the black one, but for God-knows-what-reason-that -I-really-just-couldn't-comprehend, it's $10 more expensive than the blue one. So I took the blue one. It looks err.. not-that-nice at first but after tyring it on, it looked kinda neat. And I have to stop buying black clothes.. I have a lot of them already. hoho.

After that, I walked all the way from the store, with two sleeping bags, one on each side, to my home. Yes, I love the place I'm staying right now.

I just love the big push-pin board I have in my room. I've put up maps, wall planner, and all sorts of stuff. I love my kerusi pusing pusing with wheels. I love my comfy duvet. I love the 3-inch view of the sea. I love the big mirror inside my wardrobe. I love my springy bed which is really dangerous because i don't feel like waking up in the morning, haha. I love the computer room, really handy especially now. I love the washing machine because it's kinda huge.

Okay. That's all for now. :)
