I find this pic quite nice.
Phuh.. Finally man. I’m blogging which means? Tada I got my laptop back. My God the service seriously sucks man. I bet they didn’t think of reformatting the laptop as a way to fix it. Here’s what happened. Stupid blogger. So troublesome. I wrote my post out in Word then when I paste it here. All the fonts became black and whole post got crammed up. -,-" Slowly pressing enter to get the whole post right -,-"
Week 1:

Week 2:

Receptionist : Excuse me, are you Kevin? If you’re not why are you so concerned about the laptop? Its not even yours.

Receptionist ( Noob korean speaking english ) : Ow. I will have to ask the technician. Please hold on.
15 minutes later ( Luckily its a free number. If not I will have to pay for 30 dollars+. )
Receptionist : Thank you for waiting. Our technician had fixed the motherboard in and now the laptop is unable to shut down.
Me : So when can your technicians fix the laptop? I need to use it for my school projects ok? I need it fast. It has been already one month. When are your technicians going to fix it?
Receptionist : I’m sorry but our technicians had tried EVERYTHING. But it still will not work. Our technician is CURRENTLY calling Fujitsu Australia to ask for more advice.

20 minutes later.
Receptionist : Thank you for waiting. Our technician had fixed the motherboard in and now the laptop is unable to shut down. It seems they have no idea what is wrong with the laptop. They will call Fujitsu Australia tomorrow to ask for more solutions.

Receptionist : Yes. They will call tomorrow because we are closing already.
Me ( Thinking ) : DOUBLE-U TEE AF??

Me : -,-“ Bye.
Week 5:
Betty : Kevin there’s parcel here for you. Its from Australia.
I bring it up stairs. And cut the box open and inside lay my laptop. WTF?? THEY SEND IT BACK TO ME USING PARCEL?? YOU’VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME MAN!! Summore no need sign one. Just put in front of the door that’s it. What if we’re not at home for 1 week? What if it rains? What if someone pick it up and run away with it?? WTF MAN!!! WHAT LOUSY SERVICE!! And that’s not it. I opened the bag and discovered all the comp punya CDs gone. WTH??? Now I need to call them again. And let me guess.. Since no need repairing ( I mean the CDs ) should take 2 more weeks gua? Luckily I dun have to use those CDs.. My God so damn lousy man them.. -,-“ Luckily the comp is in good condition. But still no anti-virus yet. Hope won’t kena virus by going online in library >,<>
Oh well enough of the comp. This is gonna be a long post. So where shall I start? Hmm.. For ur information I came to New Zealand on the 8th of Jan. Actually I reached here at the 9th. 10 hours in the plane, crammed up in a “window seat” which turned out to be a wall instead of window. Next time I would wanna order the seats specially.. For Boeing 777 the seat k21 is really window seat. Now k20. So frustrated sitting next to a wall. And the guy beside me, I think he dunno how to speak English one -,-“ Watched [ Secret ] again, [ Game Plan ] damn funny, [ The Seeker ] boring movie. And listened to their airline radio which wasn’t that bad actually. All new songs. Not bad.. XD
Dad’s friend which is my friend’s mom and him and his sis picked me up from the airport and lived in their house for 1 week before moving into my homestay. 1st thing I realise.. There’s no pork burger after all!! Man.. I’ve been wishing to try a pork burger. The only thing they have is bacon. Sucks.. Taste like burnt and hardened plastic. Ahh wth LoL -,-“ Went to the beach with my new friends on the 1st Sunday. They also can be quite siao one at times. XD Damn jokers.. Hahaha.
Ahh.. Homestay. What can I say? SUCKS!! Hate this place. Damn noisy. Everyday the daughter shout and the mother also shout. I really beh tahan all the females in this house la. Especially the mother’s sister. WTF suddenly scold me for nuts one. Like she owns the house. Like my dad’s paying to her like that. WTF man I was doing my hw and the mother came up to tell me lunch is ready. I said ok. Means I heard right? A minute later the sister came running up scolding me. “ Do you want to eat or not?” Me : “Yes. Awhile.” Her : “ You don’t be rude. If you want to eat come down.” WTF??? What’s her problem? After I find another cheaper new homestay I’ll definitely move away from them I tell u. The only thing good here is.. Erm.. Sorry can’t find anything good. LoL. Lazy to continue complaining la. Here’s some pics for u all to see. I’ve never seen anything so amazing like this before. I think this is spider’s favourite place la.
Stove.
Close up.
Toaster. Dare to toast ur bread?
School’s quite ok. Sort of learning form 4&5 maths again. Still find some questions quite hard. Haha I suck in maths seriously -,-“ Luckily I got all great teachers.. I mean boring or retarded types like Pn Cheong. Hah. I like accounting and business studies. I find accounting easy to understand. Dunno whether coz in English? Or was the EduSmart teacher just pure sucky. Haha.. Music was totally different from what I thought before. I thought just theory and practical. Not that simple. 50% are essays about 4 pieces of classical music which we have to STUDY. Yes we have to study bout the pieces and write essays describing them. Another 50% is practical. Have to perform and COMPOSE!! Deng.. So dead la weih. Not 8 bar melody tau?? A whole song!! WAH LAO WEIH!! Drilled. English Literature was quite hard too. I mean the essays which we have to write. I doubt I will have enough time to write such long essays.
Have I mentioned bout the school piano? Damn weird one. Maybe its too used. Middle C’s upper C’s whole octave and a half until the next F, like soft peddled though its not peddled. Like muted. -,-“ Hate that. In right hard part summore. If in left hand part ok la. Like so weird play [ Those Who Fight ] soft loud soft loud. Thats the piano in the piano room. The other piano in the music classroom was better. I only played it once. Last week’s Thursday. Coz no one using and last period no class in music classroom. Show u guys my timetable next time. Very diff from m’sia. Or maybe it is memang like that one in college. LoL No idea anyway.
Stuffs here so damn exp la. Too bad there’s no pasar pagi or pasar malam. Can’t buy cheap sleeping pants. XD They have big stores like Giant or Tesco. But prob is, everything they sell inside are branded! Wth man!! So ridiculous!! Everything is 10+ and above. I mean the clothes. Even white t-shirts cost $14.90NZD which means x 2.8 to RM. I spent about 500+ just buying books. 100 for 2 dictionaries. 50 for 2 story books which I was too bored when I 1st came here. 50 for Auckland and NZ guide. Bout 300+ for school textbooks.
Food here some quite cheap some quite exp. Seriously hard to compare la. Must really come here urself only understand one. The 1st week I stayed with my dad’s friend, she keep telling me dun compare things here and m’sia coz its totally diff. Now I understand why she told me not to. Those of u who went out of country before should understand. Especially the ppl who went for World Jam.
Went for movie last Friday. Watched Juno. Not bad but a lil boring actually. Nothing to do anyway on that day. Had photo shooting session for student ID card. No lessons on that day itself. Anyway, after movie, I went down to the harbour. Very near my school. Just walk down Queen Street only. Saw this huge ship that docked beside Auckland Hilton.
I seriously never seen a ship that big before in real life. She docked on 6.30am on the morning and left at 6.15pm. Was suppose to leave at 5pm one. But according to the security guards there was a coach who was late. So they decided to wait for them. LoLz..

Compare with Silver Whisper. LoL..

Nothing much happened this week anyway. Sorry bout the " spider web pictures " forgot to put them into the comp. Next time. XD Going to yuan xiao festival later. Oh well I’m going back to school to play piano now. Bye. Till the next time which I can’t say when. XD
