Saying

I joined Sponsored Reviews a few days before and thought, maybe it could be something that I can do during my holidays. Well, it brought down my rank when one of the sponsored post I bid on got rejected. I was upset about it at the same time complaining to my cousin who was online that time. She told me that the rank does not matter because they do not look at it and that I should try to bid even more. She helped me to find similar ones. I cheered up and continued to bid more. Today when I was checking my email inbox, I found 4 emails saying that 4 of my bids have been answered and that they accepted it and I have few days before they expired. I am glad at least they have given me a chance to write about it. Thanks, sponsored reviews.

Pray

I did not mentioned that on the Wednesday, first whole day I spent in London, I actually saw an accident/someone running away from a shop. I don't really know the story but what I saw was a guy coming out from a car, tried to run away from 1 security guard and another man looked like policeman. Wasn't it scary to see that kind of stuff happening in front of you. I was reading the newspaper this morning and I read an article about an accident involving one person killed and few people injured. Imagine a horrifying accident occurring in front of you. You would be tramautized. So, let's all pray for everyone in the world.

Still jetlag

Really, I think I find it a bit difficult to understand the English accent here. The pronunciation is really different compared to what I speak back in NZ. Sometimes I need to ask them to repeat or I just simply decide what they are actually talking about.

Last night, I went out with sister and her friends. They say London never sleeps. Yes, there were still cars and people walking about. But, midnight in Christchurch is like, no traffic and there are not a lot of people walking about. I bet my friends would prefer this kind of place and I bet we could even have supper at different restaurant and we wouldn't even have problems figuring out where we want to eat or do.

Blah

Yay! I got one PPP post to write about today. Happy. I haven't got a lot of opportunities to write about lately. Anyway, there's nothing much to do at home nowadays. Basically, I just watch tv whole day and go online to check emails. I recently enrolled for next year's course but it also depends on my results for this year. I just hope that my results are ok. I was really scared when I went for my exams. I just hope to get average marks. I did my best though.

Insurance

I am sure everyone needs insurance for anything. I looked up the meaning of insurance on TheSite.org, it means ‘In simple terms, insurance allows someone who suffers a loss or accident to be compensated for the effects of their misfortune. It lets you protect yourself against everyday risks to your health, home and financial situation.


From what I know, there are different types of insurance, the common one which I know is car insurance, home insurance and life insurance. I am sure there are lots of others. I think another common one is travel insurance, one of which I always hear from my friends. Insurances are not cheap. Usually, you have to pay lots. But really, when it comes to, say car insurance, to accidents, it’s worth it because insurance company pays for the payments. I know it does as it happened to me once.

Anyway, if you needed to find out about any insurance, click on home insurance or car insurance. I am sure it will help you to find out about insurance. You can also compare cheap car insurance.

Fantastic

Life is wonderful when you are having your holidays. Sitting at home just watching television, reading going online and bumping around really are fun. But at the same time, it's really boring because knowing me, I like to do something useful like earning money. So far, I don't have any ppp posts to take. So, it's really boring bumping around. I borrowed a few story books from the public library to read since I am free. I wanted to borrow books related to the course I am enrolling next year but the library don't have those books.

I also have been watching tv programmes like the discovery channel, national geographic etc. One of my favourite is Disney Channel but they don't really have interesting movies or series to watch at all. I asked mum if they do have Heroes. Apparently, they do but I would need to browse the channels to find out which one and what time. Hmph. It takes time and I couldn't find any in the afternoon. Nevermind. I will not give up. :)

Hehe.

Should I change the date and time in this blog? Cos it is NZ timing and I kept thinking that I wanted to blog when I know I don't have to. But but, I should just blog whenever I want to. I just realised today is 23 November and the next day after that is my sister's birthday. Hmm.. I should wish my sister happy 13th birthday. She is turning 13. For a moment, I thought she is still 12. Oh ya, she said that she is taller than me but I can't see any difference. I think we are both same height. Maybe you can say that I don't want to admit but really, I cannot see if she is taller than me or not. Maybe we should use the measuring tape. Hehe. Ok, I should get back to sleep. It's early in the morning. I woke up automatically cos I slept early last night. I was tired and sleepy. I wanted to go online so I can chat to friends who are back in M but none of them are online so I am going back to sleep. I am going window shopping later and the library. :)

Boo

After coming back from my kayak/Abel Tasman trip, I was left to clean up my flat. How annoying. My flatmates left some stuff in the fridge and freezer. I didn't clear the food that my other flatmates left there. I only cleared my close flatmate and my own stuff. Wow, both of us got so much food left and I couldn't finish it the last few days even though we didn't eat out. I gave some of the rest to my friends and my landlord-to-be. My friends even commented that they don't think they can finish the food. I forgot to tell them to give to others who are staying back.

Anyway, I am back at home and it feels wonderful though I do miss gatherings with friends. Nevermind. There's always next year. So far, I have been relaxing at home. It's back to doing house chores, washing up and vacuuming. Yea, I am doing vacuuming in the afternoon later when I think none of my friends are online.

Wonderful

It's wonderful to be back at home. I just had my first meal at home. It was definitely delicious and I bet you that I will be fatter when I return to NZ the following year. Anyway, my flight was quite good and I am sleepy now. So, I will blog more when I have the time. Hmm..

Kayak

Kayaking is actually a fun and interesting activity to do. Though it is dangerous, but it is really a once in a lifetime experience. I pushed back my date to go back later just to go on this trip with my friends. I was so nervous on that day and as I sat in the kayak. I was afraid of the kayak not on balance enough. It was really tiring kayaking non-stop as well. On the first day of kayaking, the weather was really good and I find it easy to kayak. Oh, you know what, I feel seasick while I kayak. How stupid can that be? I felt like vomiting all the time but I did not. The kayak journey from original place to the place where we stayed the night was 4 hours. But we kayak for more than 5 hours as we went to other beaches and stopped there. We also kayak around a small island. The second day, the weather was really rough. We managed to reach the original place where we started. I kept wanting to give up on the journey but my friend who was sitting behind me encourage me to keep on going. The waves were quite big and I kept on thinking, oh no, we're gona get overturned. If we got overturned and couldn't get back into the kayak, we have a flag to wave for help. I was so ready to do that but eventually, my kayak buddy and I reached the shore safely. We were all practically covered with salt from the sea.

Trip

Yup, I was on hiatus. I went on a kayak trip with my friends. It was really fun and interesting and very adventurous. I am glad I went on the trip. I mean, do I even get a chance to kayak if I don't agree to go on this trip. This trip also bonds our friendship even more. I got to know them more as well. Though it is scary to kayak in the sea but the sceneries and views are so nice, so incredible. We went to one of the beaches which is one of the top 5 beaches in New Zealand. My friend asked me if I wanted to go again. I don't really know how to answer. One thing that I don't really want to go is that I was seasick. I couldn't believe that I could get seasick.

:(

I don’t understand how some people need to go to the beach to calm their emotion. I used to think like that but now, I know it doesn’t really work. I only like to go to the beach just to get the feeling of being sad and stand there with the wind blowing the hair.


Another thing, sometimes I feel as if I cannot express my feelings here even though I called it my dark side and black blog. I feel as if people criticize me for saying all these stuff because they think I should be happy that I am lucky to have a good life. Well, I don't really know what to say because it is what I usually think. But don't you think that everything has its hard path. This is life. It's not going to be easy. Just because rich people or people who can afford things have a good life, it doesn't necessary mean that they really have a good life.

But I am still glad that I can still express a bit of feelings here. I feel that I cannot say anything on the other blog because I have to maintain reputation. Well, I have no comment for that. It is kind of true if I do mess up what I said, I will end up with no friends and lonely for the rest of my life. I don't really mind that though because I think I am expecting that.

Fear

I actually have a fear. A fear when someone who doesn't really know NZ rules and yet drives around. I got nervous whenever they drive and don't follow the rules. You might not know what might happen. I just discovered this when a friend was driving. I don't doubt people's driving but sometimes I doubt if they drive so fast and doesn't slow down when nearing the traffic lights or even bumps. I wouldn't say I drive better because I haven't been driving for nearly a year. I wouldn't complain if people can drive me around but I am just nervous whenever those kind of people drive around without proper NZ license. Not that I say if you don't have NZ license, you don't know how to drive. I mean, I am just scared for them. I am scared if my worst nightmare come true.

Essays

I am still studying. Just took a break from writing the essays plots. There are so much to study for my geology paper. I don't know how some people would know everything and answered pretty much what they know for exam. I mean, there are 10 questions given and you are only to answer 5 questions. Anyway, you wouldn't know what kind of essay questions would come out so you have to pretty much study for everything. I would be amazed if someone actually go and memorize the whole information from lecture notes and get even 95% for the final exam. Sigh.. I am so frustrated and scared at the same time for this exam. I want to be able to answer everything and also can choose whichever question I want to answer. I also don't know if I will be able to remember everything I read from lecture notes and lab notes. It's a challenge to memorize them.

Heroes


This series, heroes are really scary but very interesting. It is a bit like X-men, only they are not that heroic. I am now watching Season 2. It's scary when you are watching alone. I mean, you can guess the story plot and what's going to happen. For me, I would close my eyes. It's a bit violent and I can tell you there's a lot of blood. Ahh..

Goodbyes are hard

It is sad to say goodbyes to friends who are leaving to go back to Malaysia for the summer. My tears nearly dropped when we hugged and say goodbyes. Some of them will be seeing each other in Malaysia but I will only see them next year when I come back. So sad.

Fun

3 down, 1 more to go. This afternoon exam? Hmm.. I don't really know how to answer exactly. I wouldn't say it's ok or not ok. It's more like half half. I just hope that it goes ok and not that really bad grades when I get the results. Right after exams, I went with friends for dinner and headed to Warehouse. They bought some stuff. I don't really know if I needed anything. I think I should start packing bit by bit. Anyway, tonight is the Guy Fox's Night. Don't know if it's spelt that way or not. I wanted to go with friends but none of them have a good plan of all of us going together so didn't really go.

Interesting

Did I mentioned that I actually enjoy going to mass on Sunday in the morning and then another service, Mosaic in CCC. Now, they have a network in Facebook. Very interesting, right? It is expanding. I feel like I am part of them. I'd try to ask people to come visit the service. Mosaic has just started in September. That time, I didn't want to go to another service cos it's going to take up my time. But I went anyway for the first service. There weren't a lot of people. I expected the service to be different and long. It is not like what catholic church has. Mosaic has people playing for guitar and keyboard. Sometimes they have people playing drums. Personally, I prefer piano-played songs. It's nicer to listen to.

I am just taking a break from studying. I am seriously hating to study. I have motivation to study but I just don't have the patience to sit down and study anymore. I have another exam tomorrow and another one on Saturday. Wish me luck.

Garage cabinets



Don't you think garage is one of the most important part of the house that you usually visit at least twice a day? Why not twice a day? When you need to drive, you would go to the garage to get your car. Well, some people store their car in the garage. I know my parents does that at home. Why not. Cars are valuable so you would want to store it in the garage, right?

Talking about storing stuff in the garage, you should think about having cabinets in the garage. You can put the kid's toys in the cabinet after they are finished playing with it during the day. Or you could put the brooms or shovels in the cabinets. Better still, you can put your gardening equipment in there.

So, if you ever need to have garage cabinets, be sure to check out on Carguygarage.

Power

I went to YAG, stands for Young Adult Group and we had discussion about Chapter One in Luke. At the end of the discussion when the group leader asked if we got any questions, a friend asked if she will also feel the same thing as what we have just discussed. I think we discussed about our faith and how if we don't believe that, will God also silence us? Hmm.. well, I think we shouldn't doubt God's power. He will always be there for us no matter what. From my previous post about how God don't answer us immediately, well it's the same. He chooses a moment to tell us. I am sure He has his reasons and I won't judge or ask. I don't think it is right to ask too much. He has given us so much so we shouldn't question too much when He gives us what we have been praying for or wanting something.

Credit cards



I used to wonder how credit cards work like. That is because I see people swiping the card whenever they go shopping. Then I found out that having credit cards are like having debts. And I did change my mind about having a credit card. But after joining payperpost (should be known as IZEA), I realise that I would need to have a credit card as they are paying me through paypal. So now, I am thinking of getting one. Having a credit card is not that bad, I guess, as long as you don't overspend yourself when you go shopping. Just don't buy unnecessary stuff and be determined to be on your budget.

best credit cards

Now, I wouldn't know a thing about getting a credit card. For me, I would go to my parents. But if you don't have anyone to talk about, then cardguide is a place you can seek information from. You can also compare balance transfers to see which one is the best. I do know that you should find the cheapest annual fee, though.


Wonderful

After reading about this post from Lynnx01, she was talking about how God answers prayer, personally, I think God answers our prayer immediately but He chooses the right timing to give the answer. I wanted to give example but I don't really know what kind of example I should give. I always feel that God gives me the answer I want to know at the right time He thinks for me.

One more thing, I think I consume too much energy drinks. Am I going to be ok?

Sien-ness

Just finished another exam today. I think this was ok, considering that I know most of the answers. But what I am worried is that I may get marks taken off just because of a small mistake of writing something. It's like that with my assignments as well.

I also wanted to say something. I think sometimes people take for granted that I don't get angry with them or get annoyed with them straight to the face if they said something insulting. I don't mind if it's just a small thing but I think this is why people just continue insulting cos they think that I won't mind so much. But they are so wrong. Maybe I should try to show some emotions.

I find myself stop smiling to friends nowadays. I used to smile at them and try to make conversation every time I see them. Now, I am lazy to open my mouth. Because no one will say anything whenever I say something. I can't be bothered to make any effort since some people don't make an effort for themselves. But won't this make me selfish? Sigh.. whatever I do is wrong and whatever other people do is right. Why can't they be wrong for once, it is always me.

Me me me

That is my title of my blog. Yea, it's always me. Wrong of this and wrong of that. I am stupid. I am lazy. I am selfish. Whatever I do is not right. Whatever comes out from my mouth are stupid. When will I do something right? I am such a useless person to live on Earth.

Stress

Isn't it weird to be studying all the time and yet you are not ready when you walked into the exam room? Sigh.. sometimes when you feel like you are ready for a test or exam and you thought you studied enough or the best you can, when you walked into the exam room and the moment you looked at your exam paper, you panicked and thought, oh no I don't really know how to answer the question(s). You feel that you are too over-confident, then.

Why why why do you always feel like that?

Anyway, the recycle bin is piling up again. But there are no more plastic bags to put rubbish into it. None of them even try to get plastic bags from supermarket when they go for groceries shopping. Sigh.. why why why must depend on girls. If they are not depending on girls, they should at least try to get it for the flats.

Sigh, I should get ready for my next exam, which is in less than 2 hours. Seriously, I don't feel like studying anymore. I am sick of studying. I kept on repeating the practice/exam paper. I just have a feeling that it's not going to be same type of questions from the exams paper. It's going to be hard like my first exam. And I am going to fail it. Aaaah..

VistaPrint


Vista Print. Sound familiar to you? Well, it is definitely very familiar to me. I receive weekly emails from them telling me about what products they have and what have they got on offer. They do offer a lot of stuff. I think there was once an email about them giving away some products, eg rubber stamps. I didn't really need it so I did not order it. A week later, they were giving away for free.

Anyway, for short, I love receiving email updates about what they have on offer. Currently I am looking at the Christmas Cards on sale. The Christmas cards are so pretty and so creative too. You can put your photos on the cards.

Christmas Cards

Vista Print also have other services like upload your own design or logo design. I love looking at them. I wish I could have all of them. :)





Scary

I got to say something. You know how I quit my job? I told my boss that I will be studying for exams. But that Monday, it was Labour Day and my friends and I went to the mall to check out the sales. And, my flatmate and I saw our boss and her son there. She was pointing at us and saying that, I thought you guys wanted to study. My flatmate quickly gestured me to walk away from there while smiling. She thought it was scary but I think it’s alright. Anyway, what right does the boss have to say if we don’t want to work?
