Somewhere else i rather be

Sitting here, home, alone, with most of my friends offline, I know... there's somewhere else I rather be.

A friend... a really good friend who has stuck up with me for so many years... her 21st party is now... I know.... I should be there

I can't help but feeling it's all my fault, if I had planned a bit early, I would be there now... the place i rather be...

I can't help but again, feeling guilty.. the best present I could've given to a friend... i chucked it... into the drain....

Loneliness... this is what I deserve... for not being there.. where i wanted to be the most.. where i should be

Holiday part 2

the second part of my holidays was spent back here at palmy. Danny also came down with me to visit for a week. The bus down wasn't too bad, the seats are not the most comfortable thing, so both of us had sore bums. And i spent most of the break walkign in circles jus to give my bum a break from all the sitting.

Bad thign about being a post grad students is, well, not really suppose to have a holiday, and my class schedule during the holidays is more eventful that during a nomral semester week. Monday, tueday and friday I had full lecture days, in addition i had a meeting on friday for my QS class, and on top of all those i had focus group sessions to run on monday and wednesday night for our PD project. What that unfortunately meant was, my poor hun had to stay at home doing his work on his laptop while i was away at Massey during the day. And the fact that I had heaps of work to work on didn't help either. But what was important was that when I take a break, it was just that much more special when someone is here to share with you. I no longer had to cook dinner alone, nor eat it by myself. And i must say Danny is excellent when it comes to assisting me in the kitchen, chopping (onions), cleaning, washing. Then there's T.V, anime, and ps2... you know.. just the usual.

And for the first time since I've came down, we had been able to have a proper 'lunny day' on friday nights. We went and had a really nice turkish meal, and since no driving, we ordered a glass of wine to accompany too ^^ Turkish food is actually really nice, guess when i go back to auckland, i better go dig around and find nice turkish restaurants ^^

My room is really not designed for 2 ppl, my poor hun had to camp out on the floor the entire week, and everytime i need to walk to my bed or the wardrobe, i need to tramp over his sleeping space :P BUt hopefully I had enough blanket under to make it a comfortable sleeping place.

I guess the only downside to danny visiting is... well... i wont' embarrass him too much, but just a hint, i am thinking of replacing his nickname from slowpoke to snorlax :P

End of Holiday

Holidays ended *sniff* i guess good times always flies huh~ but no complaints from me, because I really had a wonderful wonderful holiday.

Start off is of course my trip back to Auckland, and i am glad to say things are.. well... pretty much the same as when i left it. My week was jammed packed with shopping, excellent food and most importantly, the companiment of family and friends. ^^ see my schedule for the week and you'll see why

Friday: arrived at auckland at about 2pm, unpacked, went to neighbours for dinner with Danny, went home and wathed tv.
Saturday: Went to Sylvia park with the tour group ;) we even had er... a red balloon representing Mindy's spirit flying all the way from Australia :P Syliva park was insanely packed with ppl, with stage 3 just opened and all, but i got to say Sylvia park does now look enormous, walking from one end to the other can take a very long long time @_@
Sunday: had a cheesecake baking session at Tina's, regretably due to er... Lucy buyign the wrong brand of cream cheese, it looked, more burnt than usual. So we ate the top burnt part of the cheesecake while it was cooling. All i can say is.. by the time we can home from lunch, our cheesecake had resorted to an ugly cheesecake, which thankfully still tasted divine~
Monday: Easter monday that was, went shopping with Emily and mum at Botany, at night invited few girls over at my house to have a goood catch up session.
Tuesday: was my 22nd, i got to say I was WAYY to excited about goign back to Auckland that didn't feel like I had much of a birthday. So dedicated the whole day spending time with Mum and Emily. Mum took us to Kura, and had one of the nicest japanese food... yummy~~ My cake was really nice too, we bought a Hazelnut cake from Classics, would've bought one from Rio, but they didn't had a very good cake collection when we went shopping. THe hazelnute cake isn't too bad at all, tho no hazelnut was actulaly there, only nutella :P
Wednesday: was allocated to Danny, as our belated celebration of our 2 years. The day kicked off shopping at Dressmart which i must say was very productive. And knowing us er, super fast shoppers, we went to sylvai park for shopping round two. Didn't buy much tho, and I think we spend the most time at DickSmith the powerhouse.. *cough cough* Dinner was at observatory, and Len and Tina was absolutely right in saying how nice the food was. It was by far the best buffet i've ever been to, only downside is Danny coudln't eat half the stuff so i felt really guilty.
Thursday: Hm.. as if i hadn't shop enough ^^: went to Sylvia park in the morning with Len, who was wonderful and shouted me lunch. ^^ then we had a really good shopping session, let's just say when i go shopping with Len, i'll go to shops that i dont' normally go into, and find amazing items. ^^ Had a birthday dinner thign with the girls ^^ which was really nice. In fact, it's one of the best steak i had for ages, they actually gave me a thick chunk of meat. And the orange cake from Christine and Amy was really nice. ^^ thanks girls
Friday: well.. was my last day so was filled with packing, then at night Emily decided she want to check out Sylvia park too, so we did :P
Saturday: Left for Auckland :(

So there you have it, I bet i've been to Sylvia park way more times than any of you ppl (with the exception of Amy) :P Thank you everyone for making an effort to meet up, I know everyone is like superly busy, and I was really touched to be able to catch up with all of you. My trip back to Auckland was everythign i dreamt it'll be and more. Thanks heaps ^____^

and..seeing the washign machine was done, me gonna take a shower, and holiday part 2 will be updated.. sometimes.. possibly tomorrow :P

p.s To Amy and Christine, you wont' be surprised to hear this, but i am almost out of survival lollies already :P

Today

Today marks our 2 years anniversary, isn't it scary how fast time flies? Saldly i can't celebrate this day with my hun except perhaps over skype. But the fact that I am here, is a testimony of just how much he cares about me, for someone who never believed in long distance relationship, he's willing to give it a go because he knows that it's what I like doing better. In fact, i don't think I will be here today if it wasn't him being so supportive.

So happy 2 year anniversary, and I look forward to our official 2 year anniversary celebration ;) Love you~
