How far is New Zealand?

Before arriving in NZ, I always thought that New Zealand is geographically quite close to Malaysia. In my memory, It would be Sabah, then below Sabah would be the Indonesian Isles, then below the Indonesia Isles would be Australia, then below Australia would be NZ! but I was wrong, It's further than expected. I've taken a snapshot from google earth to show u exactly how far NZ is from Sabah. It's not below us but lean further to the right, it took around 10 hours to fly there! Thus, I'm dunno how many thousand miles from home.

伟大的父亲


You raise me since I was born, you educate me, teach me and guide me, you taught me the love of God, you taught me morality and being a good person instead of a person who solely aim for greed, you are strict and tough for my own good, you are not materialistic nor arrogant,
you are humble and yet respected,
you are gentle and kind-hearted to everyone, you sacrificed so much for me, there's nothing I can do to repay, you are my dad and I love you. Thank you for everything.
Happy Father's Day

Tea break during Exam preparation

it's nice to sit back and relax during stressful examination time, but not too long until it affects your grades. once in a while during the exam weeks, I would go to the coffee shop and order a cup of coffee or hot chocolate and some desserts. I'm quite impressed by the way they make their coffee and the taste is nice too. I heard New Zealand is the world's number one in coffee-making. In comparison to the 'kopi diam' we have in Malaysia, they just somehow put the powder and sugar and then stir it and ta dah! kopi o ping, milo ping done. New Zealand has complex methods of doing it with those sophisticated coffee and espresso machine at their disposal. But everyone should also note the starkly different price you have to pay when you order NZ coffee/hot chocolate and Msia's kopi ping/ milo panas.

Fishing King

This friend of mine is very funny, The picture below was taken 2 years ago, he was caught 'fishing' while attending church, hahaha. There's one instance where I had my first accident, I hit a buffalo and when he heard about that, he was just laughing and mocking me. Plus, he was like a loudspeaker or broadcast, because of him the whole world knows that I hit a buffalo. Then next week, he had a major accident around Kingfisher residential area. LOL...so with pleasure, I returned the favour.
But this friend is cool and generous, always act like a boss or the guy in charge. hahaha..I hope he see this.

Snowing in Dunedin! 2009

I woke up at 11am today, then I checked out the news, there's an article about snowing in Dunedin. At first I was suspicious, I thought only those hilly areas will snow most of the time, but then I looked outside my window, wala! snowing! but there was more snow early in the morning than at noon. aw...I miss the moment where I can make a snowman...haha.

Reminds me of Russia...but it's Dunedin, NZ duh..
