Dreary Days in Christchurch

It has been a rainy start to 2nd term this semester. The drizzle doesn't help much either. It's the kind that irritates since it is not heavy enough to warrant the use of an umbrella but it's light enough to wet your clothes and shoes to cause discomfort. And the drizzle has been ongoing for the past 24 hours and counting.

Today was sandwich day. I quite like it but some others don't. Abby a friend of mine was real funny when she saw my half eaten muffin. She asked me if I was going to eat it and I replied yes of course. Then she asked me if I was telling a polite lie. I said nope, I was really really going to eat the rest of the muffin after finishing my sandwich. Apparently, I wrote my name under the wrong section thus there was no packed dinner for me tonight. As such I had no choice but to head over to Tandoori Palace for the Chicken Curry.

Been planning the next weekend trips and even the end of semester ones already. Had minor discussions with Hongkai during MAOR107 lectures. Proposal for Queen's Birthday Weekend trip to the West Coast from 2June (saturday) to 4 June(monday). Tranz alpine at 815am on saturday morning, reach greymouth about 1245pm. visit pancake rocks about an hour north of greymouth. travel down to franz josef glacier and stay the night there. Spend sunday doing a 1/2 day or 1 day glacier walk at franz josef glacier. Return to greymouth. take the monday afternoon train back to christchurch for the final week of lectures in UC. What say you, Veron and Hongkai?

Will probably spend the end of exam holidays from 28 June to 4 July in the mountains snowboarding.

News just got in that my beloved Liverpool beat Chelsea 4-1 on penalty shootouts. YES! Hope to meet Milan in the finals on May 23.


On a different note, wishing my dearest young sister a wonderful graduation trip to Australia. May God grant you journey mercies throughout your trip. Will be back for your commencement ceremony.
