| Hurro all,
I'll be migrating my blog to a wordpress account. Well, migrating is not really the word, since I'll do some occasional post on Xanga. Occasional. Not frequent. I want to have a much cleaner blog and since the cbox on Xanga does not really serve its purpose, I reckon the blog without cbox on wordpress would be just nice.
It's nice having close peers to be checking out my blog over the years. I guess there'll be no more random art manipulation on this blog anymore. If I feel like it, I'll probably put up some effort to create a proper one for the new one.
Feel free to check out:

Just a reminder: The first official post will be on New Year's Day 2009, from 12.01am (GMT+8:00 Malaysian Time). Just to mark a start in my next stage in life. Thanks for being loyal thus far. Appreciate it from the wacky Zee~!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! | | |
| Woohoo!
I've been conferred to a bachelor's degree in Applied Finance.
Just a sneak peek!

| Skydiving yesterday was FANTASTIC! I don't know how to describe it but I'll probably put up a video to show my experience. Hahaha.
We just got back from our day long tour of the tip of New Zealand about an hour ago. It was heck of a journey.
We woke up at 6am, got ready by 7am, only to call the tour operator about our intentions. What's shocking is, the tour departs at 9am in Kaitaia and we were still in Paihia. The distance between the both towns is one end to another of the Northland, and it's about 1.5hrs drive away.
We managed to make it in the nick of time. The receptionist who was the one taking the call gave a joke about how we got there within the time frame.
The tour took us to this beach namely 90 Mile beach. As the name implies, the actual length of the beach was only about 60 miles but that was a very nice place to visit. The distance between the shoreline to the end of the sandy area spans at least 100m. Our bus drove along the beach like any vehicle on the highway.
The next destination was the sand dune. As we were on the coastal highway, the bus took a turn at one of the streams into a passageway. It led us to the hilly sand dune. We played Toboggan there.
We were brought up to the light house in Cape Reinga next. It's the tip of Northland and also the northest point of the country. The view there is totally breathtaking. We saw ocean bays, ocean lines collide, where the Tasman Sea and the Pacific Ocean meets. The water was bluish and green, not the typical silted water. The lighthouse there is one of the few lighthouse in New Zealand which is monitored all the way from Wellington.
Following that, it was some beach where we had our lunch picnic. We played with the water and frisbee as Alex brought it along. Damn Yami for pushing me into the water at one point although I didn't really get my whole body wet.
After that, more beaches and fine sands and ocean bays.
It was a long day, the tour ended about 4pm. We wanted to get dinner but it was still early so we lingered around and found some secluded ocean bay to loiter. Matai Bay it is. At first we thought we got lost because as we turned in at the road, it seems pretty quiet and the environment was getting dodgy. We thought we got lost, but somehow made it when we saw signboards leading to it. Great stop here. The bay was almost in a circular shape. The waves coming in were in ripples of circles. It's like a uniformed wave.
We had dinner at Mangonui Fish Shop in Mangonui. The fish was super delicious but the chips and others was just ok.
I'm actually quite tired now. So that's it.

| My convocation is in a few hours. In the midst of getting ready, I can't help but to sing a tune that suddenly came to mind.
I think this time it's really suitable for the occasion. Hahaha.
And now, the end is near;
And so I face the final curtain.
My friend, Ill say it clear,
Ill state my case, of which Im certain.
Ive lived a life thats full.
Ive traveled each and evry highway;
And more, much more than this,
I did it my way.
Regrets, Ive had a few;
But then again, too few to mention.
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption.
I planned each charted course;
Each careful step along the byway,
But more, much more than this,
I did it my way.
Yes, there were times, Im sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew.
But through it all, when there was doubt,
I ate it up and spit it out.
I faced it all and I stood tall;
And did it my way.
Ive loved, Ive laughed and cried.
Ive had my fill; my share of losing.
And now, as tears subside,
I find it all so amusing.
To think I did all that;
And may I say - not in a shy way,
No, oh no not me,
I did it my way.
For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught.
To say the things he truly feels;
And not the words of one who kneels.
The record shows I took the blows -
And did it my way!
Oh time flies for 3 years of degree. Typical phrase but it seems so right now.
Next step in live? 'See-how' la...
Border = color of my discipline on the strip of my robe. Burgundy.
