The past few days.....

It's been 3 frustrating days since friday till today, where the weather has prevented us from going to Mt Hutt to learn snowboarding or skiing. Going to try again tomorrow to get on the mountains to learn before I go back to Singapore since the chance of trying it is close to 0(unless snowcity is considered in the equation).

Been on msn messenger the past few days and chatting with some friends. Many of them have arrived back in Singapore from their exchange programmes, ranging from France to HongKong, etc. I'll be back myself in 4 days time. Feeling ambivalent since I'm sad to leave beautiful NZ but happy to go home as well, after having spent 5 fruitful months here in Christchurch. If any incoming SEP students are reading this, I wish you all the best and have a tremendously enjoyable time just like my batch did.

Last night, we all managed to sing karaoke for the first and last time in christchurch at this place called Ancestral. It's a really popular place with asians. Reminds me of kbox and partyworld back in Singapore.

This morning, went to upper riccarton methodist church for possibly the last time because I am leaving NZ on thursday. I have been switching between this church and Arise, which most of my fellow R&R hallmates attend.

Went to the recreation centre to do cardio conditioning on the treadmill and chanced upon the biggest sporting event in malaysian students calendar called "unity" games. It's a 4 day event and this year the event is being held at UC. Stayed and watched a bit of the basketball games; the cmsa team is supposedly very strong and have not lost in 9 years; at least that was what I was told. Left after an hour of watching to go find food (in the end it was a simple choice of muesli bars since it was already in my room).

On another note, going over to uni hall for dinner with hongkai, binjuan and veron cos they are heading to queenstown, wanaka, milford sound, etc and I'm sure they will have loads of fun. Hopefully they see some falling snow (We've been hoping for it since we arrived and even discussed it in our get-togethers before arriving in NZ half a year ago).
