22 prosince Addicted to Youtube.com!I just love the free videos there! It's a shame we can't keep it, but we can save it! Currently watcing Ouran High. It's so dastardly funny, awesomely hilarious and choke-full of the next-minute laughter! Oh yea, did I mention it was an anime?
Interestingly, we say 'ponteng' in Malaysia, but we say it 'wag' in NZ; 'tuck shop' as in canteen; 'mozzie' as in mosquito; 'ball' instead of prom; 'mock exam' sometimes 'trials'...
I must say, I watch almost all of Bleach, Naruto, Ouran episodes on YouTube. Hah! Did I mention I installed Xtra broadband by myself!: P My, my, I'm getting rather good at DIY activities.
Oh, yea. One thing in NZ is people are very self-reliant. They don't have maids to take care of house chores. Although this may seem rather pampered, NZ'ders are as 'spoilt' as M'sians in general. We do have minimum pay, because of the legislation. This Act could have perhaps encourage people to rise the minimum pay or was it caused by the rise of oil prices. Nevertheless, NZ'ders are enjoying life in push greenness and prospering crops (housing boom, dairy products and perhaps movies...? Think LOTR). However, people are migrating to Australia, because of lower tax cuts.
NZ policy reveres to the progressive tax system. We have to have 20% from our pay compared to 5% in Malaysia. Although the interest rates are not as high in Malaysia (NZ sporting a 7%+ interest - means more money in bank, discouraging spenders, but that's usually not the case).
Heh! I'm going all economic-wise now. Sorry!
So, as everyone knows, I love anime and manga. SOmefriends can't believe how can I get so excited about cartoons. It's Japanese animations! I must say it's wonderful how they've made cartoons in their own Japanese way, stmaping their uniqueness and creativity in improving what was into something so well-recieved world-wide.
Still, the real deal is the most appealing (meant real tangible people) and nothing beats its originality.  20 prosince In My Life, Have I Ever...( ) Smoked a cigarette . - No way. Never.
( ) Drank so much you threw up. - Nope. I drank beer and liquor just once and it was gross. I will only take wine occasionally in social settings.

( ) Dumped somebody ( ) Been dumped. ( X ) been hurt by someone you care about - we are afterall human with feelings and emotions and tend to take a grudge after that unfortunate episode. However, learn to forgive as time goes by. It does release a lot of your pain, anger and frustration. Pray or talk about it. ( X ) been let down by someone you care about - they might have their reasons. Tell them how you feel and hear them out if they're willing to convey their context. ( X ) Shoplifted. - Maybe. Not very sure, but still... there was one tiny item which I can't remember. ( ) Been laid off/fired... ( ) Quit your job... ( ) Smoked a joint ( ) Been in a fist fight... - You're kidding, right? I'm a girl, and I do cat-fights. ( X ) Snuck out of your parent's house - I'm left alone most of the time. ( ) Taken it up the ass - What are you implying here?  ( X ) Had feelings for someone who didn't have them back. - mere crushes ( ) Been arrested - been in the police station before, but was not under the pretext of an awry criminal job gone wrong.

( X ) Skipped school... - I have my reasons ( ) Seen someone die - No, but I've seen someone get busted on the head by a group of hooligans before. It's so not fair: 5 guys to 1; he was bleeding so bad, no one helped him during the fight. But after that, it was all helping hands and authority. ( ) Been to Canada - I want to. ( ) Been to Mexico (x) Been on a plane - How do you think I came to New Zealand? (x) Been lost. - Countless of times in New Zealand. Like just last week, I got lost on my way home from the library. Unfortunately, I was too stubborn to bring a map with me, and so! I relied on my photographic memory of the Epsom area. Sadly, I walked for 2 hours under the scorching heat with T-shirt tied up and sweat sticking onto my hot pink 'Sistas' cap. Luckily, I wasn't too proud to ask for directions. By the end of the day, I've developed a sizeable blister on both my soles. Swell. ( X ) Been on the opposite side of the country.. - If you count Singapore... ( ) Gone to Washington, DC (x) Swam in the ocean - Yea, during one of those Oriental Orchestra's camp in Malaysia. ( ) Have a crush/gf now - Nahh, I'm sober. ( ) Felt like dying - Not now. Too much happening and I wouldn't want to be a coward, and selfishly take my life when I know there are people who would be devastated if I committed suicide. I'm going waaay off, aren't I? ( ) Cried yourself to sleep.. - Aaaw.... ( ) Played cops and robbers.. ( ) Recently coloured with crayon.
