  1. I also felt really really happy that I could contribute NZ $ 5 towards a fund raising effort in view of the Christchurch earthquake. At this stage, every contribution, no matter how big or small counts! I felt the need to do my bit!
  2. I just got home from my postgraduate orientation today. Had lots of fun and I was re-united with some of my old friends who decided to come back for postgraduate studies after completion of the Bachelor's degree!! I met some nice new folks too!
  3. Yeah and I also heard that there is a "censored" and rather soppy version of that song called "Forget You" or something! I seriously don't dig that version though! The original seems to be way better (I think!) LOL! :)

  4. Hi Leddy! :D How are you? I'm safe and sound! Thank you so much for your concern! :D I am in Auckland and it's relatively safe here, because the chances of an earthquake striking are close to nil. I really miss you around here! :( Hope the mods will let you post here again quite soon! :D *fingers crossed

  5. I found out something so funny, a couple of days ago, I just have to tell you! Do you remember that "Fuck You" song posted quite a while back on the "rate the song above you" thread? Well, that song actually won a Grammy Award for "Best Urban / Alternative Performance". I don't watch the awards show, but I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the winners list! LOL! :D

  6. Hi Missy! :D Well, I have been studying a bit, in preparation for my programme, but, I've decided to take a break these last few days because my programme officially starts on Monday and my mind needs a bit of rest and relaxation! :D Hope you're having a lovely day so far! :D

  7. Swede, once again, thank you so much for your concern! It really really means a lot! :) I really feel bad for the folks living in Christchurch! Earthquakes seem to be striking that city so frequently, it's quite shocking and it just seems so unfair! :( My mom, who is a student like me, has two classmates who are living in that city! I do hope they are ok! :(

  8. The Christchurch earthquake. Seeing all the disturbing footage in the news about the extent of the damage and devastation and seeing headlines like "300 Still Missing" or "80% of Christchurch Without Water". I just feel so sick to my stomach! I thought that city suffered enough when an earthquake struck in September, last year!
  9. Hi Swede! :) I'm safe and sound! Thank you so much for your concern! :) I'm just a bit shaken that's all! :( I live in Auckland (Northland) where the chances of an earthquake striking are very close to nil. The city which was sadly hit (yet again) was Christchurch! The folks there experienced an earthquake back in September last year! :(

  10. Another thing which made me happy today, was suprisingly "The Grammy Awards". I never watch the awards show but when I scanned through the list of winners for this year, it turns out that a song which has made me laugh so hard and which has often put me into a good mood won "Best Urban / Alternative Performance". This is the song. Do check it out! I'm posting this especially for all the sad people out there who could use a laugh or two! Enjoy! P.S Not meant for folks under 18 years of age!
  11. The weather!! A cool, lovely breeze is blowing and the temperature has dropped like crazy! The weather in Auckland has gone from hot and humid to cool and pleasant! I do hope it stays that way!
  12. ^Good one Emily! And I see you posted that just the day before my parents celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary! How about this then? I love Mr. Bean. He is a nutter but he is so funny!
  13. Well, yesterday was the day my dreams officially came true! I found out that I have been accepted into the postgraduate programme, the Bachelor of Commerce (Honours), majoring in Economics! I still can't believe it! I consider this as an opportunity of a life time! :D It's going to involve a lot of hard work but I love a challenge when I see it! :)

      Congratulations Kiwi_Zep_Fan87. I hope you do proceed to that Master's degree. :)

  14. Thanks MSG! And you're absolutely right! Economics is indeed a fascinating subject and looks like we both have a very cool thing in common! I start on the 28th of February and I can't wait! This postgraduate programme is for a year and hopefully, if things work out, I'll be able to proceed to the M.Com degree, specialising in Economics too!
  15. Thank you so much for the encouragement Magic! It really means a lot to me!
  16. Thank you missy! I plan to be a research analyst which involves statistical and econometric analysis of data coupled with the application of the appropriate economic principles! I think the US economy is a little too complex and dynamic for me to handle at the moment! I think I'll be more competent after I finish my M.Com degree (hopefully, if things go well!). Just give me a year!
  17. Well, today was a pretty incredible day. I found out that I have been accepted into the B.Com (Honours) programme at the University of Auckland and quite frankly, I can't believe it!!! My major is going to be Economics. It's pretty much a dream come true! There is going to be a lot of hard work involved, but I love a challenge when I see it! I say "Bring It On"!
  18. Why, thank you Virginia! And congratulations to you on your 20th wedding anniversary!
  19. Thanks sweetie! The funny thing is that I had to remind them that today was indeed the 9th of February, 2011. If it wasn't for me, my parents would have forgotten their 30th wedding anniversary! LOL! Imagine that!
  20. My parents celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary today
  21. Hi sweetie! How are you? It's already the 10th of February here in Auckland, so, here's wishing you a very happy birthday! Hope you have a lovely day ahead! :D
