am-i-darren

Nope. It isn’t snowing in Auckland. But everwhere else in sheep land is. The weather is getting real cold here and most of the places in New Zealand is experiencing snow and chaos. This was at the frontpage of today’s newspaper.

Yeap. That is the bus that we are going to take in South Island. It skidded due to slippery road. Scary huh. Anyway this happened in Ohakune. The town I went skiing with Kim, Vywen and Sim Miao. NZ is hit badly by this cold weather and many schools are closed, highways are blocked, big city has no electricity for almost 2 weeks and so on. This morning when I yawned in the bus, there was even mist. Damn…it is cold..Imagine this is only happening in the north island and south island is supposed to be way way colder. But honestly, I’m really really excited to go down South now. I will be able to actually experience snow falling down on me. It will be freezing but it would be a real experience. That is why this weekend I’m going on a shopping spree for gloves, beanie, socks, thermals,shoe and a jacket.

Enough bout winter and snow now…lets move on to WORLD CUP!! The team I’m supporting is Brazil. But they aren’t performing that well this time but I still have faith in them. Just like the last world cup. Look at how much crap everyone gave Ronaldo about his weight and his form. And what happened this morning? He came back. He scored twice in the game against Japan where Brazil won 4 - 1. He has now equal Gerd Mueller’s record tally of 14 goals in World Cup finals. Take that…you critics! This year I’m hoping maybe to see Brazil, Argentina, Italy and Spain goin far.

terima kasih to a few ppl i chatted online yesterday. u cheered me up. was a lil down and silly a few days back but i’m back baby! woohoo..just like ronaldo!!heheheeh…dying to watch the replays for all the matches last night! ARgghhh back to work now…=P

Round 1, FIGHT!

E. Honda Special Move!

Fatality! Game Over…

Damn this guys have so much free time. Lol..thank u Su Ping for forwarding this mail. Really Funny.

Sometimes when you put lots of effort into something, you hope for the best. But when things don’t turn out the way you wanted it to be, it hurts or it just sucks. Don’t just give up. Stay positive, work harder, be patient and be happy. Life goes on and remember, nothing is impossible. All you need is a chance, opportunity, luck, timing or a sign for you to carry on. Carry on to search for something more.

Alright..just crapping…but if it helps, I’m glad I could contribute.

Felt a lil like the end of the world today..

Busy Monday Morning + Heavy Rain + Strong Winds = Auckland City Blackout + Sirens Everywhere + Traffic Jams + PPL trapped in Lifts + Accidents + Very Cold Weather.

What a day. Thank goodness I went to work early, skipped the rain…as I entered the office, it poured and then 10 mins later the lights and computers began to flicker and darkness was all is left.

But everything is well and good. Not long later, the sun came out again and everything was back to normal.

Wear more proper clothes and jackets, the weather is getting colder. To those taking exams, good luck, study hard, eat well and rest well.

*smiles*

Gosh…I’m tired..I even missed the first game against Germany vs Costa Rica. I actually was on the floor and I fell asleep. Now I can’t even find my glasses…so blur..

Started my day at 7am. To tell you honestly, I was pretty excited and I actually woke up before my alarm rang. Usually after two alarms, I will still be lazing around in my bed. I actually had this stupid silly feeling the other day this week that my bday would be a sad one…and no one will even remember it. Lol…stupid feeling lar..

Anyway my day was awesome, simply great, i am very very very happy! And it is because

I celebrated it with so many ppl! Thanks for coming and making my day. Thank you to all my beloved friends that wished me as well! You guys are the sweetest and I’m lucky to have you guys!

Thank you for the birthday cake Cyn,Prev,Jay n David. It was super yummy! =)

Eugenie gave me the earliest birthday wish. Wished me on the 8th itself. Hehe and she gave me this cool cool present. It was a dating dice. When you get indecisive, you can roll the dice and see what you’ll going to do with your date. The options are, flirt, snog, bonk, marry & dump. LOL..=)

Lunch with Zaf n Wei En. They couldn’t make it at night because Tee, friend of mine has the same birthday as me as well. Zaf also has exams on Saturday, so both of them invited me to lunch.

Thanks for the present too!! Now I got extra shorts for sports! Was running out of it..=) Thank you Zaf, Wei En, Yin and Indah!! Might be my winning shorts for Otago. HEHeh =)

When I got home, I got pressie from Cynthia, Audrey, Rachel and Previn! See I got this lovely tie!! Thank you guys. I like it very muchy!

Thank you for the card Shingo and Megumi! I love it!

Look! Gjin got me this cool present! You can hang up your photos! Thank you thank you!

I even have a personalized birthday card! Look! Thank you Schufan!! Damn my hair is bright! Lol.

Birthdays are not all about presents. To me it is more about spending time with friends, family and people you love, just having fun and a good laugh. That is more like it…for me that is. =)

I want to thank everyone again, thank you Eugenie, Cyn, Prev, David, TX, Jay, Robyn, Gjin, David Chan, Christine, Matt, Zaf, Wei En, Yin, Indah, Hsu Lynn, Tee, Shingo, Megumi, Chloe, Crystal, Yen Ling, Fathiyyah, Su Ping, Sher Mayne, Ying Swan, Kimberly, Seow Yen, Yit Chuan, Schufan, Chee Foong, Tze Loong, Adrian, Audrey, Jasemaine, CK, Wan Lee, Carmen,Izal, Ken, Jeanette, Julia, Siew Yan, Siew Ching, Pam, Michelle, Ashwin, Mei, Karen, Caleb, Weng Yew, Mah Jee Ken, Uda, Leng, Sim Miao, Lim Cheong,Jun Bin, Jun Wey, Thye Sim, Wern, my family(sorry i wasn’t in when you guys called), and the rest of my friends! If i miss out anyone…sorry lar..u know i love you. =) and Thank you again! 

Wow..realized I blog 3 days berturut-turut already…to much free time i think…lol

It was surely cold today going to work again…jog a little to work, just to warm myself.

So foggy…and cold..

Anyway…I’ve been a lil naughty..spent quite alot of cash on something I wanted  for quite awhile now. Didn’t use my parent’s money but my very own,hard earn cash(not that hard la but still). To some it might be something cheap to them…but to me it is one of the most expensive things I’ve ever bought with my own cash..as in really my own cash..

The time I bought something with my own cash was my pc back home. Work for few months and spent like RM1500 on that stupid junk. Then bought a digicam with my part time job money which cost around RM 1000. I think by far this will be the most expensive of all…NZ$450!! Brand New IPOD 30GB!! Finally….finally…

Hehehe…Don’t lecture me about it k? I sort of "deserve" it….ahhhhhhh *smiles*

Happy Birthday to …

To those who I have missed out…Happy Birthday to you too!! GOsh So many geminis…Enjoy!

It’s the 6/6/06…today…anyway just another date.

It was freaking cold today when I walk to work. Freeze my arse off…but it is the same everyday. Try walking 8am every morning, you’ll know. I even wore gloves when I was working. Hands were freezing..

Note to self: buy gloves, winter jacket. (trip to dressmart soon)

Work was fine.

Came back, feelin tired and just curled up in my comforter and slept for 3 hours.

Woke up, walk around the city and finally decided on a place for dinner.

I’m bored, tired, cold, and demotivated. One of those days again…I’m going to sleep it off …

Have a good night…I guess.

He coming to get me?

The question was asked at the end of grey’s anatomy 2hrs special last week. I put it up last week as my nickname and to my suprise, alot of ppl sent me messages telling me what they are going to do on their last day.

Many state their fears, wishes, fantasies and the most common ones are to spend time with our loved ones. Here are the extra things that they want to do before they die…

1) told me go confess to the girl I like since I’m single
2) eat till they die, or cheat death and go skydiving
3) donate organs, buy something splendid for family and breath her last breath with the man she loves.
4) eat curry mee, spend time with family, hijack a plane to france
5) tell the world about god
6) make ammendments
7) f*** as many chun chiq, eat as much and drive as fast as he can
and my favourite response from my friend is this one. he planned out the whole day on what he is going to do. So funny and cute. read about it, click HERE!

Anyway all this talk about death and last day all, spooked me a little. I woke up today with lil tears and stucked nose because I dreamt of something horrible. Ppl say when you dream about something bad you should say it out. I dreamt of me taking care of my grandmother which already passed away and just received the news that my dad passed away. So enough about that…I would not wish for anyone to lose someone they truly love. So pick up the phone today and just give them a call. Cherish and appreciate what you have. Don’t wait till the last moment or when it is too late. By then there is no room for regrets.

I drove this car today to get the cake for my boss’s birthday. Nice car…*sorry bad quality pic..i miss my digicam*

Work is fine by the way. Been getting more responsibilities day by day. They pay is low but I’m not complaining because they are kind enough to teach and train me. They even offer me to send me to some short courses if I knew of any to improve more on my skills. =) Another thing is I am damn lucky to actually found a job. Took me 5 months. 5 god damn months.

I am a General Post Production Assistant

My duties ranges from:
- assisting with general duties around the office
- computer graphics and animation
- computer programming
- website design
- duplication of video and cd/dvd copies
- digitisation of video footage

- video library cataloguing
- delivery and pick ups of Omnicron & supplier materials
- assist with trafficking jobs through the studio and tv production
- assiting with all the other misc clients request (print ads, dubs of tvcs, locating info for them, etc)

There you go. a little too much for me? I actually like it. So wide, so many things to learn. Hehe

Have a super duper wonderful day!
