Finding my way through the Space

Its been a long time. Very long indeed. A lot has happened since the last post: exam, SLC conference, saying goodbye to friends.
Is time to get back into blogging???
Might be my last post for a long time or I might blog again tomorrow, who knows.

Will be at palmy for summer.
Looking for a job, got turn down a lot. Its hard to find a job. Gonna keep pestering my lecturer. lol
and yes, I do know that lecturers have limits.

If can't find a job with lecturers, then find a job that will give me new skills.
If not, continue learning photoshop. lol, going into the area of vector.

Will definitely read books during summer.

keep practicing my music and basketball : )

might get a skateboard ( this is a rumour, lol).
lol

that's it for now.

I got to write this post fast. Assignment, need I say more.
On friday evening, after nano lab, I decided to head home and rest (normally everyfriday I would stay back for OCF). Anyway, when I reached home and open my room door, I found that my whole room is plastered with newspaper. Well, can't say this was the shock of my life but I was suprised. Anyway, less chit chat, let the photos do the talking.







Even the ceiling lamp wasn't spared.
Anyway, it was good cause it was a change in routine in a long time.
lol.
Thx Jack for the Effort.

Quickie.

Had two weeks break (mid term break). Back in uni for the last six weeks of school.

First week of break, went to work at Ahu ahu valley. Job was to Manuka tree. Tough physical labour.

Second week, did assignment.

Interesting that happen in my first week back:
1) Got two hypercube together in bejeweled, hidung tinggi!

2) I saw half an orange in the mens large urinal.

Came back from tree planting on friday night, tired but restless, happy but not satisfied.

I am back in the compute lab, using my remaining one week break to finish my assignment.

Everyday, I find less and less things to be absolute. Never coming to a conclusion, always double checking, always more and more curious. Going beyond my boundaries. Scared, definately, full of zeal, I march forward.

Thinking back, I use to almost always accecpt things as they are, " It's like that one!". Afraid to ask, fearing of the consequence without asking my self what the consequence is.

I'll try to ask my self, "What will happen if I ask this questions?", " What will happen if I did this". Going beyond. I'm making no point, just pondering, getting my mind to go. Time to get back to work.



Pictures are taken from Glady's blog.

I'm way behind on my posts, everytime I wanted to write something but my brain is just physically dried out.
So I'll just put this photo out to make up for lost time : )


Been trying to upload the before pic of massey campus but the file is too big.
The above pic is the after pic, after cropping out quite a bit.
I'll make a smaller pic next time, lol.
Moral of the story, big isn't exactly good.


Another photomerge!!!This is looks really good!!!
Have to click on it to see how big the photo actually is!

This is my fifth week in school, busy as usual, ntg much to say there. Wake up 6am, leave for school (or some ppl who call uni, less degrading for them, for me, doesn't matter as long as I learn something), come back from school around 8-ish, depending on day, plus minus 1 hour.

Anyway, miss the bus, so now I have one hour, so... what to do but blog, lol. I rly, loleally don't know what to write, hahahaha, artist block, lol.

Fine then, I'm just gonna write my weeks story... blank as well. Haven't done anything interesting lately, lol. Unless you count maths, we are learning vector calculus, lol. Till next time, lol.

Sweat man!!! I'm getting more and more long winded!!!!
Sign of stress or loneliness!!! I dun believe it!!!!
Need to relieve it, basketball time!!!!!



I might be able to play the violin afterall : )
Din noe got other ways to play the violin, lol



This is a more general video, mostly the whole thing, the video below is just me jumping off the plane. So if you just wondering what happens, the first video is just that.

The view was just spectacular and the wind in your face plus the temperature just makes everything perfect. The gum in my mouth was bleeding a bit cause of the force of the cold wind.

But when he release the parachute, the force on your thigh was just...let just call it something you never want to experience again : ) or maybe I'm just exaggerating. You gotta try it for your self.

Oh and before I forget, when I was being accelerated down by gravity, I forget to do air guitar and air DJ, so if you try this next time, you could do this instead of just plainly enjoying the scenery.




From my two weeks holiday, I learn a few camera tricks, one is the panorama feature which is take multiple picture and combine them using photoshop.

Other would be taking picture with backlight and close-up shot. Who knew a vacation would be such a learning experience. Plus I had fun learning and it was a good refreshing holiday : ).

Try and click to enlarge the picture, I crop out quite a bit from the actual picture . The top picture is after I combine the picture and before I crop it. Photoshop is just amazing, it does everything for you. Credit goes to all the people who made photoshop. Thx Guys!!!!

First thing first, what is a blog, a blog is a online diary!!!! A diary!!! So you say, why not keep your diary in a book, then I say well, cause you can't add videos and picture so fast and paper free (save the tree). And then you say, blogger might crash or something and I say the chances of blogger crashing has the same chance as your diary kept well hidden somewhere in your closet being burn in a flame. Anyway, I'm writing this mainly for my self. Others benefit include improve writing skills (yea right) and using big words that are always in my head before they they decide to move on to someone elses brain.

I will not add the skydiving photoes cause there is a video for that already, located somewhere in this blog.

My favorite bus stop, 5 mins from house, I see you everyday, you protect me from the cold winds, you will ask the bus driver to stop when I'm with you. Bus stop, you will always be my favorite.

Its either white paint or its winter.

Cathedral revisited. Christchurch was the only place with bad weather during my trip.


Got to go for at least one tournemant!!!!

Wanted to play this!! Next time!!!


Travelling with my dad was very beneficial, mostly stay in hotels : ), warm and with tv.

The train was good, it went through many scenary which you can't go by car. Plus its leg room is way better than any airplane.




Erm... We went through Arthur's Pass.

From greymouth, we took a bus to Franz josef Glacier.

The bus guy made quite a few stop, so we had to take advantage of that and see stuff right.
The eel at this animal place (zoo) was huge.



We left and made another stop, this place has animals too. See the scenary change.

Finally Franz josef, good business, many many many people.

We climb to the middle point : )




This is a called crampon which helps you to walk on ice : )
Taadaa, its like magic but real!!!

Being a good, you have to do quite a bit of work.


Me n Dad.





This is NZ public toilet, automated door.

This is Fox Glacier.
Its roughly the same thing so we only walk half a day.


Different crampon.



I took a few scenary pic. Let's called this S1

This was a good restaurant, the food was good and very reasonable prices.


S2 and testing out different setting.




Salmon farm, had salmon sandwich and salmon chowder.




S3

S4

This is not a scenary pic, this is a bout proving that it is quite cold.

S5

S6


We have reach queenstown!!!

Tandem Skydiving Hanger

City of Queenstown

Can you believe it, me and my dad went luging.

The hotel we book was full so we got upgraded to a better hotel, I mean look, there is a sofa bed!!!! Two sofas, two tv and don't know how many chairs, I lost count.





S7 and I think this is the best photo of all.

Question: If from Auckland to palmy by plane is an hour and from palmy to christchurch is also an hour and include some hours to reach queenstown. But from queenstown to auckland is only an hour and a half. So what happen???

Answer: Queenstown is a tourist spot which has more transaction which mean we got to sit on a bigger plane.

I like this museum.


We had three days so went to paihia.
The place where the Treaty of Waitangi took place!!!








For all people who has sky tv, that's the owner resort house on some island. He said thx for all the sponsor.

One thing I have to had before I come back down to palmy.

I got a free apple pie cause I help one of the ladies at the counter.
Me and my dad part ways, I came back down to palmy.
It was a great trip, if not the greatest so far.
