Tuesday 24th July 11.31 PM (4)

Today was a nice day cause the weather wasn't too bad. Is quite manageable in terms that i wasn't thinking for 10 min at the bathroom whether to shower or taking my routine dump did not freeze my ass. Quite brilliant.

Class today was very intresting cause we were studying the different style of managment and how it has change over the years and evolved till today. I always have a very keen intrest in management because i believe that is very essentiall in today's society as companies do not know what academic achievement you have accomplished but so much on what skill's you possessed and what are you capable of.

Then off to lunch and my goodness i am so use to the gigarntua portion in NZ and today having lunch beneath my apartment the canteen. I assumed that i was about to have a massive lunch and it came so measely. That is my Malaysia lunch. Hello i am paying nearly 3 times the price and you are giving me such a small portion. Do they think i am a sucke?. Please, never try to cheat a chinese men. We will know it. And i mean we will know it. Especially from Malaysia we believe in every dollar we pay must come to the value of our products. Please never going back there again.

Went for my first bible study class. It was very warm and relax. Cause i always base on the assumption that it will be very pressured cause a lot of questioning arises about faith. But being there i was given a warm welcome by the member of St Paul church. They made me feel at home and my perception was seeing a multi-culture group bonding together on a common ground which is Christianity.

Then we were going through with our groups about FAITH. And in the bible it teaches us to have faith in life as God has a plan for every one of us and is good that let his WILL be in us and then it will guide us. Cause as quoted by a member "From the day we are born our destinys are written by God, one is following his will and the other is not" God gives choices and therefore we must our faith into Him as well. Sometimes what we pray for may not be immediate but it will lead to something better. He has plan for all of us.

"God had planned something better for us so that only together with us, would they be made perfect". Hebrew 11:40

And please help me pray for my buddy grandfather health.

Amen

Answer: Tunisia is a country in Africa which is strongly in Muslim religion. Is next to Libya.

Woke up this morning for this free city tour. And seriously it was crap. Now thats why free things in life arent always great. The bus brought us around and went to a few stops such as Mission Bay (been there), Pannell (been there) there you go, it wasn't a brilliant trip, lack of explanation and well just looking at my fogged up glass.

Then went to watch a rugby match at night. It was ALL BLACKS VS THE WALLABIES (New Zealand vs Australia). I was so drawn into the atmosphere as the whole Auckland City was cheering for their team. This was a great cultural experience as i see people loving their OWN team. People shouting and the Hakka.... the Hakka was so intimidating i felt as if they were about the beat some people up. The spirit was uplifted it was a great time. Final Score: ALL BLACKS: 26 THE WALLABIES: 12

It reminds me of how Malaysia support their own European Football Club (not Selangor or Pahang football team). Guess we are not very in to our local football team. Support your local team.

What has Malaysian boy learnt? Is nothing better than supporting your own local team...

Anyways goodnite peeps. God Bless

Friday 20th July 10.30PM (2)

This morning woke up early then continued with my daily routine of push up & sit up then to Uni.

Ethics was the first class of day and as i was journeying to my class i picture it to be a very boring class. But guess guys intution is not as sharp as a woman. Well Ethics wasn't a bore and yet i find it very challenging because it requires in-depth thinking.

Lecturer asked us "Class, if one day you would see a total stranger drowing would you save him or her? Eventhough it will put your life in danger would you still do it?"

Well i guess being a hero or corward is the question. I definitely would save the stranger because it would make my life meaningful as now beside commitment to my family there should be something greater than that. "With sacrifice comes victory".

Life is about choices my friend is always about flight or flee

Do i get the homesick after so long? Well i can tell you being in Auckland is the same as KL the Asians are everywhere but this is a great cultural experience. You learnt about other people's culture. Like i met this guy from Tunisia? Yes Tunisia? Not to sound a bimbo but where is that?

Answer: Next blog entry...
