revamp

A two-month long hiatus broken with a post about the said hiatus. How meta.

Blog is revamped, because that's what I usually do every time I came back from a hiatus. Not content with needing to manage two separate blogs, I now have a tumblr. What better thing to do on a quiet Friday night than scrolling through 43 pages on my dashboard and reblogging the hell out of Cute Boys with Cats? (They have Dave Franco!!!)

It's spring now in Dunedin, which is the awesomest, because spring is my favourite season. That's not entirely true though, because I like winter even more - you get to wear your loveliest winter coats, and see gorgeous guys wearing blazers and vampiric long coats. Eh. Also, if you're lucky, you get to experience snow. Thank Allah, I am one of them lucky ones - it snowed twice here in Dunedin.

Snow fight!

Ah, I miss winter. I might be complaining about the temperature all the time, but at least I could experience things that I could only dream of. Now that the temperature's getting hotter, I have to ditch my coats and blazers aside. I often found myself going out feeling naked because I'm so used to having an extra layer of clothing over my usual jeans and t-shirt combo.  But then, Allah gave me something even better - a chance to witness thousands of flowers blooming before my very eyes.

pics by Linda. I forgot to transfer mine.

The flowers are just beginning to bloom, so at this point there's not much of them save for some lovely rhododendrons, sakura (which are very short-lived and are getting lesser and lesser day by day), daffodils (a whole field of them!) and other random flowers we found at the Botanic Gardens. We're still waiting for tulips and roses - I think by the time we finish our final exams, they'll be blooming like crazy and Dunedin will be much more colourful. I can't wait.

Social relationship-wise, I made new friends, which is always a good thing. I'm still trying to polish my conversational English, although I do still stutter quite a lot. And I get to talk to poi girl! At last! Hahaha. I was doing five-beat weave aimlessly in front of Clocktower one sunny afternoon when she suddenly approached me and asked where did I get my poi. Got some cool new moves from her as well. 

Talk about poi, meet my Cheshire Poi, Bella and Belly :D

So yeah, I guess that's it. It's 12.35 am now and I need to go to sleep. If I don't update for the next couple of months, you can always visit me on my tumblr. I've got lots of psychedelic pictures there, they're good for your eyes hahaha. Till next time.
