Day 2: Walking aimlessly - Cooking up my first meal
Welly is pretty cool, literally. The place's beautiful, seriously, finally put my nikon into pretty good use. Walked through the harbour, Cuba Street and took some fantastic photos. I realised the Kiwis like to say "Awesome" and "Cheers", sounds cool to me, but sounds uncool when i try to say them. A classic failure of adaptation.
Met some really cool people, Americans, Chileans, Germans. My flatmate Maddy had like a really cool house party where her fellow Americans and other friends came over for dinner, while Pearlyn, Daniel and I had a homely dinner of Pasta with Sausages, Egg and some Tomato with whatever sauce. Thanks to Mario who gave me the idea of cooking up this dish. It was pretty "awesome".
Still, there isn't any internet, and i am not very sure why i am typing all these, with the thinking that all these nonsense might not even have a chance to be uploaded to this miserable blog. Well, as least i know that there is broadband at home in Singapore.
The day was pretty alright, visiting some places which we never really planned to go, like the Te Papa Museum. Well, as least we know where the place is located right now. Saw some really cool specimens like the colloqial squid, which was 4.5m long and 400+kg heavy? It was preserved in this glass chamber which everybody were crowding around.
After dinner, we visited the Recreation Centre, played some basketball and then back to our rooms. Gosh, it's already 10.57pm. Time flies really eh. We are always whining about how time seems to creep so slowly that we have to constantly look at our watches, but now, whooosh! Nearing 11pm already.
Well, i think i better wash up and prepare for tomorrow's orientation. Hope my plan will work and courses will be given to me as i wish. Cheers mate.
