Simplicity & the hunting


Not sure whether it's a bee or a wasp, think it's a wasp. Need to get busy like this one.


Waking up to birds chirping, soothing sound that I really enjoy nowadays.


Escargot anyone?! Hehehe...


Hey it's me digging dirt in my garden putting in new flowers, never thought of doing this in million years hahaha but hmmm... they do have a calming effect. This is what happen when you are a home executive hahaha.


Can see them everywhere here, a lovely sight to see after drizzle.


A usual sighting too, at the back of the house, some of them landing on neigbouring property(ies).


Poor little hedgehog, left alone, mum MIA. Found it on the grass, tried to save the poor creature but too late.


This neighbour will take the horses & carriage out once a month, amazing creatures, they are different breed of horse(s), they are humongous! Even to Kane's standard hehehe.

Hey did i tell you guys that i'm looking for a job still?! Well yeah my job is looking for a job hahaha oh wait i'm also known as Home Executive, i like Senior Home Executive better, same title when i left SC hehehe. Kiwis have all these names and titles that they use it's kinda funny hehehe but i like it. Yup, was stress a wee bit, hey i haven't been working for almost a year now well 10 months to be exact. It's driving me nuts!!! Flipping all over. Was making Kane stress too, kept bugging him with all sorts. Waited for the work permit like for ever, just got it bout 2.5 mths ago, so been looking for work like crazy. I was really really stress, annoyed bla bla bla you name it, but then i got tired flipping and nutting hahaha if there are such words, so i decided to enjoy my time doing nothing and just being. Those pics above proved it hehehe.

I never thought I would enjoy this simplicity of life, ever! Took me a while though to embrace it. I always wonder what will happen if i have no job, not making my own money, have to depend on others etc, well now i got the answer. I'm enjoying every moment of it hahaha. It can get pretty boring i know, but hey there's so many things out there for me to explore!!! I didn't really pay much attention to the surrounding before but now everything look interesting. Hmmmm i'm getting weird i know but i'm always been a bit quirky i think haha so i'm just being me hmmm... oh well, nothing new there then ;-).

Job hunting still going, hope for the best but at the same time i have all the time in the world doing ...

Winter wonder






Yeah it's winter, getting cold by the day. It was a bit depressing at first, hey it's my first winter, what do you think?! It's wet, cold, wind blowing like crazy etc. I was down with flu, so a bit annoyed with this new season. My body still adjusting but it's getting better now. You can still see the moon at 10am. Last Monday (21 Jun 2010) was the shortest day for the year, Kiwis got really excited about this including Kane, don't ask me why cos I don't know. Met a friend the other day and she mentioned the same thing. What's going on with these people?! All the same to me, cold!!! Nothing signicant except it was dark around 5ish pm. Wuhoo big deal... hahaha not being nasty or anything just confused.

Neways, I'm enjoying winter better, in a way now, thick clothing, really thick sometimes I have 3 or 4 layers of clothes, not forgetting the socks and fluffy. Oh that's what I called my indoor shoes :-). I will sit next to the fire with my hot chocolate hmmm yummmm... & a book. The fire place is going 24/7 now hehehe so I feel like Labu Labi (ala P. Ramleee nye film) "nak carik kayu, nak carik kayu..." hahaha. I already have my beannie and my gloves ready, bring it on winter! Burrrr..... Sejuk....
