V8 car race
woke up early in the morning to get prepared and everything to drive down to Pukekohe to watch the V8 car racing. reach there rather late and we did not bring our mats and portable picnic type chairs thus have to sit on the hard ground/ stand. weather was bad. rained, shine, rained, shine. Had a terrible headahce later...
racing is not my type or rather our type... it is so hard to watch.
all the speactators are gathered at the starting/ finishing area... *1st wonder: why they dun spread us out and sit around the race track*
*2nd wonder: the cars zoom past so fast that u can hardly know which car it is.. i mean they are of coz decorated in various colours, signs patterns.. but so hard loh*
*3rd wonder: why is the race so unfair? the last car will never be able to catch up.. i mean.. thats common sense mah... when the signal goes off, the fast car is alr halfway through the race and the last car is way behind... humpz*
we left halfway through and went for lunch.... but one nice thing about the race is when the signal goes for them to start.... the NOISE is just overpowering man....

Short week has past. Went to Taupo on sunday. pretty cool place. Went go-carting with Wz, sat rapid jet with wz and zac. totally awesome. it was much better than the one i sat with Wz while we were at Rotorua. This one goes at exhilarting speed down the Waikato river which supplys 50% of energy to generate electricity for the North Island. There are small "rapids" etc. Very cool. And i managed to pay child fare coz the lady thought i was 15! how NICE! so i paid $45 instead of $75.
went to this crater place, or wateva they called it- the ground gives out hot sulphur gas.
pretty boring tho.. cos we have to walk round the reserve which takes us like 45 mins. but its free lah.. so exercise loh...

pic of dad, mum and zac.
Huka Falls. very clear water.....

Zac on one of the Pit bikes and he

goes at a super
slow speed cos he is AFRIAD! muhahah
thats what happened on Sunday last week.
Going to V8 Supercar championship tmr at Pukekohe. free tickets!

Its sat and im supposed to be all happy cos of the long weekend but man! to be frank, its boring. the town is quite dead except for Botany lah. went there to get some girl stuffs and whoa! hard time getting parking lots.
the afternoon was bored.
got out of bed bout 9am. bought Baxter for a walk and went to get breakfast. came back and clean the house ( as usual). wanted to go have a haircut but it was closed. so went to Botany to get some girl stuffs and it was PACKED! i saw some life finally (becos of the long holiday, the town was pretty much dead really, but not at Botany). had a pretty slow afternoon. was waiting for night to come to go have dinner with Mag. drove all the way past the shore and had Daikoku for dinner. it was a pretty scary drive tho. i hardly drive thats why. going on the bridge was disastrous. terrifying! the lane was quite squashy and i had a hard time having to go straight. i just look straight. did not take glances at the side or top mirrors. JUST STRAIGHT!
smell like BBQ now but too lazy to go have a shower.
looking forward to tmr cos we'll be driving down to Taupo which is below Rotorua ( the place where Wz and i went for our mini trip).

the LONG Weekend
its the Easter and Good Friday long weekend- which means that we only go back to work on Tues! how Fantastic!! will prob meet Mag for dinner on sat as we have not met for ages.. the last time i saw her was before our trip to Spore. But my dad was thinking of driving down to Taupo.. cool.. have not been to Taupo.
work has been rather slow this week. not many deals came through- thus time was really hard to pass.
we bought the car after much thinking through. will give it a good clean and wash tmr....

the weekends also past incredibly fast ever since i crossed over to the working world. work is normal. nothing spectacular happened- just that Ingrid was on sick leave for two days and i was back to the crazy busy state. I also put through a bad loan application- the applicant had defaults loaded against him last yr by other finance companies but while keying his details into the system, i stupidly keyed him as a FEMALE, thus bringing up an inaccurate credit file. thank goodness the loan application was for only $540 and not thousands...
Had Shabu Shabu for lunch today. and also peanut shaved ice with pearl drink. Perfect but torturing in the end cos i felt so bloated and uncomfortable.
went ard looking for cars today but end up looking at the one near our place. Good deal- reasonable price and low Kms. almost put down a deposit just now- went to withdraw cash but gave a second thought and maybe... maybe we shd wait and see how Wz's job goes and then decide again....
Wacthed Ice Age 2 on thursday with wz and my two brothers. had a good laugh. worth $13!!! borrowed books fm the lib- both by Sidney Sheldon- reading "tell me your dreams". hooked onto it am halfway through. have also put a booking on Dan B "Da vinci code" haha.. i know... im slow.... :)

was sitting in the couch in our room. had nothign much to do so went to dug out my bag of letters/ cards (chau qiu, i still keep them....) read the letters/ notes that Wz gave me when we were still dating. some are quite hilarious tho. read the letters that qiuyan wrote to me.. the many christmas and new year cards by friends. wedding cards as well- from Mr Lee, kerk and husband, Cand and Wee Song.
something that was really touching were the letters that Chau Qiu, Cand, Susan and Sampo wrote when i left Singpaore for NZ in 03.Guess the traditional ways- cards/ hand written letters are still much more personal and warm compared to emails and blogs.....
:)
ps: two pics below..... :o)
