The mobile phone rings at 2.45pm and she thought, “Who could it be?”
Ever since she got here, her phone doesn’t ring for casual calls. Not that it did ring much when she was back home anyway.
She pushed the button to answer the call…
“Hello?”
“Hi Jennifer, it’s Natalie here.”

Despite having socks on to keep ‘em warm.
Waking up at 9am on a non-working Saturday, at 5°C and having breakfast before 10am is considered a feat in FeR’s books.
You would think I’d stay in bed longer when it’s cold…but I guess I’ve passed that stage. I won’t wake up very early but I won’t really stay in bed either.
While reading someone’s entry, I was thinking to myself – my blog is supposed to be a place where I jot down my “thoughts, likes, doings” and mundanely enough, it’s all about my “doings”.
I don’t know whether it’s because I’m afraid of writing things here or I have lost the ability to articulate my feelings.
Or have I grown adapted to the fact I have no one close to talk to about my feelings here that I’ve shut them off?
*gasp*
Yes, I know I should and can do whatever I want with this little part of my online presence but I remember when I first started writing, it was more personal and reading my past entries (from way back in University – but it’s not online anymore), I could smile…or laugh…or wonder…or chuckle…or cry…or thinking I was such a silly billy…so many emotions were embedded in each entry.
Unlike now.
Today I woke up, showered, ate, went to work, ate, went to the toilet and slept.
*yawn*
It could be possible that too many things are happening at the moment at/for work that I haven’t got the time to properly line my thoughts/feelings up to be examined at the end of the day.
Then again, life has been pretty much a set routine here at the moment.

This would be our itinerary/plan when you get here.
(We, from here on, will assume that I would’ve gotten the camera and car/renting a car)
Hastings
)Napier
)And if we’ve got time (and energy), we can take a 1.5 hours’ drive to Taupo (where Lake Taupo is)…we can do a day trip (more for the scenic view between here and Taupo) – stopping here and there to snap pictures!
Pack an extra card or bring a portable, handy external hard disk!
Ooo! Can’t wait!
All those things I’ve listed…I’ve never done them before.

No uniform today – everyone at work was asked to wear all black today and tomorrow to “show support” for the All Blacks who are playing in Sydney tomorrow.
Why sesudden I’m supporting the NZ’s rugby team?
Ehm…I didn’t even know when and where were they playing until today lah. That also I “had” to find out because customers were bound to ask about the all black attire (macam mourning, instead kan?)

Maori Language Week for 2008 is from 21st July to 27th July – the theme being “te reo i te kainga – Maori language in the home”.
To commemorate the event, I noticed that they have announcements made in Maori (apart from the normal English between-show’s announcements) on TV.
Also on the news today, Google launched Maori-language search site.
The only thing I know about Maori-language (which I’ve been told) is that they roll their “r’s”. Other than that…
*hehe*

Today I had a pang of home-food-sickness. It was so strong that I was *this* close to flying back just to get bak kut teh, durian (honestly, I could smell it while thinking about it), satay, nasi lemak, mamak, mee goreng, chicken rice, wan tan mee, hakka mee, char koay teow, asam laksa, Japanese food, shabu-shabu, rendang or just KFC (it tastes different here – though I’ve not tried their fried chicken)…
Chap fan at Blossom…
*sigh*
