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....

Love me family

Well, been a while since the last update(s) huh. Sowee peeps, been busy hehehe. Anyways, my family (mak, along & acik) were here for 2.5 weeks, happy giler then sedey hmmm. But when they were here, I ate like lembu hahaha my face look like bulan already, dapat makan nasi minyak, sambal goreng, nasi lemak, karipap, kuih muih hehehe to name a few. I makan banyak sampai bulat dah hahaha. All good, took them around Akl, shopping, parks, markets etc. They had a lovely time here except for the cold. So we got the fire going day & nite. Yeah it's getting colder by the day now. Don't know whether I can survive this winter hahaha will see. I'll be going back to Kl next year insyaallah. So peeps nanti kita keluar makan ok hehehe. Can't wait to see u guys again, miss u all. So tungguuuu.... yek.

Hottie Hot Rods

We went for a hot rod show last month. Got some awesome wheels there. Lots of people and it was hot too, so we didn't stay that long. Snap few photos though ;-).

Hay bales day

Want to share with you peeps, my first time baling hay, not so bad, actually was bad we started at around 7 pm and we finished at 11.15 pm. Oh, here it's still bright til probably 8.30 to 9 pm. We got the landlord's son and his mate to help out, pity the boys. It wasn't an easy job at all. I did try to lift one but gosh it didn't seem to move not even an inch. So I was in charge with the quad and trailer. Driving it around so that the guys can pick the hay and throw it in the trailer.

Oh yeah, fyi, for those who's not familiar with the term (don't get me wrong ok, I wasn't familiar with it at first either, we don't have this in Kg. Baru ;-) hehehe), hay is grass that have been cut, dried and stored for use as animal feed, particularly for grazing livestocks and in our case the calves. We'll use it during winter or whenever there is no or less grass available. Luckily it's only going to be once a year event, if not pengsan hahaha. I told Kane that next time we should plan it properly, i.e. he'll do everything and I'll plan to get sick hahaha, no I'm not nasty, I'm just being funny hehehe. By the end of it all, we just knocked out, hehehe, me particularly even though I got the easiest task, betul... pengsan ok. Hey, everyday I learn something new and i bet my bon**t (excuse my english hahaha) that there would be more.

Immi...Oh...Immi

Heee, wanted to talk about new year celebration last weekend but!!! been busy with preparing docs for immi. Gosh, so many things to prepare n i'm still doing it, ni nak rehat kejap la ni. They said not enough evidence to show that we are in a stable and genuine relationship, what the!!! So, have to write like a story book, with all the chronological events with photos etc., what to do kena buat la jugak hmmm... oz was way lot easier gosh.

Neways, new year, nothing much either hehehe was a quiet one, we went crusing around, walking in a park, makan, eeeee... bosan nye hidup i hahahaha. Just wanna show u guys some nice places that people go during summer i.e. the beach, waterfalls n such. Why am i promoting this place??? I have issues with the immi!! Hahaha i drama je la ;-). The beach called Muriwai Beach, waterfall tu i think Keri Keri, the park... Waitakere forest reserves, bush walk kinda thing, i think. I like to scenery, very calming... hope u guys like it too.

So called Xmas

This is my so called 1st Xmas hmmm... since i'm married to a small family (thank God for that hahaha), just bought prezzies for the bro's family. The rest of them scattered around the globe, so selamat duit hahaha ;-)... joking! or maybe not?! heee. We had spit lunch at his bro's. They wanted to do something different this year instead of the usual bbq, so they decided to do the spit and it took 3 hrs to cook the beef n chicken, i tunggu sampai lapar. It was a hot xmas day too, so our "spitmen" posing under a tree while waiting. Oh the one with deadly pose is his bro heee.
