1. ive moved house, this time to a student flat called no.14.
this place is cool as. you are practically living in the city center, and yet you feel like you are not. not too much of noise from cars, you got yourself a nice yard, nice BBQ area to have functions, and of course - good mates that are always ready to hang out with you when you want to. in fact, i think they sometimes party too much that i cannot keep up with them. tough lot! better than then dull, sometime racist WSA!

2. ive got myself 2 jobs - as a RA, and also as a mailboy.
please do not say that im a workaholic until you hear the reason. i firstly applied for the RA position at the end of last year with little hopes. i do not see myself good enough to be given such an opportunity to be honest. so to be safe, ive asked a friend of mine to get me a job as a mailroom staff in her office. a few weeks after getting myself confirmed at the position, i was told that i was accepted for a position of RA at 14 flats. i accepted it gladly but im not sure what am i gonna do with it. it will be very bad if i decided to quit the mailroom job cos i will put my friend in a very bad position. she helped me get the job, and i shoudlnt do that to her. and of course i will not let go of my RA offer. its a good job, and it pays well. so for now, im working 2 jobs, and trying hard to keep myself thinking positively about that.

the RA job is really nice. you practically get paid to hang out with people. although certain parts of it are quite daunting, such as having to control and sometimes shut down parties that went out of control. the rest, its easy. just help these residents to change bulbs, get new chairs, and etc. i love it. you get asked to parties, and you make heaps of new friends. you build up characters, and work ethic as well.

3. i am now alone in auckland.

bro, please dun get me wrong on this. its fun having you around in auckland, its just sometimes i would prefer to be alone, and not having my actions told to mom or dad. i would prefer to keep my private life private, just like how i never tell mom or dad what ya doing here in auckland.

i am also away from my IPBA mates now. not to say that they are bad.. its just that i prefer to live a more private life. and not having people going aorund gossiping about me.

4. im enjoying my studies.

for the first time since i started tertiary, i finally take charge of my own learning. for the first time, i managed to study a whole chapter of of textbook before going into lecture. thats because im doing 2 subjects im quite passionate about - computing and astronomy.
