1. weather
i know i complained so much about the cold when i first came, but its really nice now (: and wearing coats all the time gives me an excuse not to dress up so much since it's all covered up anyway. hahah oops. did i also mention i've been wearing the same scruffy shoes the whole time? hahaha
i also shave my legs less since its mostly in jeans, but prob that was too much info. hahaha
2. my apartment
its awesome to live alone. i love it really (: and apartments are so much more awesome than halls in school :/
i loveee my flat, i love the space, the freedom to be alone when i want to. my huge bed, freedom to have my room be an organised mess, go and come back as i please
i definitely want to move out and rent my own place once i can afford it after i'm working, even if im not married.
family's great, but so is freedom. (:
3. being able to cook for myself
it's really fun to plan your own meals, even though i'm hardly an accomplished chef. it's funnn in any case ((: grocery shopping is like highlights of the week. haha
4. community-ish feeling
since a lot of my friends live really close by, it's easy to meet, easy to hang out, easy to pop over and stuff.
and i will miss L my dear flatmate so much ): she's so awesome
and also i like how if there's an event, or a school party and stuff, a lot of people will turn up cos the community's quite smalll, and there arent that many events going on in chch.
5. miss the flat terrain
sounds like a weird thing to miss. but omgosh not looking forward to climbing stairs at NUS. >:0
the campus is pretty and has a river and is nice to walk around. will miss it. plus its small so its easy to reach one place and the other.
in nus, need to run for bus to get around school ):
6. food!
a lot of nice food here (: or maybe i'm just greedy. of course i miss singapore food too! but i will prob miss some kiwi food when i go back. like pies and fish and chips, and kumara rosti!
7. miss the slack workload and chillax lifestyle
i am so free here, haha, so much time to hang out, go dance, do my own things, its a luxury i wont have in singapore.
plus the amount of sleep i have had in 4 mths here, is prob equivalent to.... a lot more than i get in singapore la. haha
sleep and sleep and sleep. haha no need to worry about having not enough time to do work, can always take a nap when i feel like it.
9. being able to sit on a bus
nz buses are amazingly empty. well, i suppose its not surprising since cars are so cheap. and a bus ride costs 2.30 !!! but its nice that u can always get a seat. and also, people say thank you to the driver before getting off! how nice (:
10. Z (and his car)
haha, of cos he gets a point by himself. (: gonna miss him, and gonna miss staying in the block next to him. it is super convenient to live nearby. easy to hang out spontaneously, and its nice to pass under his window and wave (:
and will miss being driven around hahaha. though let me clarify, its not a big deal whether a guy has a car or not. i have never minded taking public transport, esp in singapore where cars are crazy expensive.
haha, but of cos its convenient if he does have one, and since he does, i will miss being driven!!!! hahah cos it means i can wear 5 inch heels without worrying, and we can go to places tt arent so convenient by bus :D
ok, will miss chch too much ): hopefully i come back again someday!
