New Zealand, here I freakin' come!!!!!!!

Results were out this morning and we were all freakin anxious to find out where we were going to for exchange. I was about to doze off during one of my lectures when I suddenly thought of checking my inbox to see if any email had come through to read me my fate.

I placed Israel as first choice with Jasmine.

Jasmine got it, I didn't. But I already expected it.

Even so, I didn't give much thought about New Zealand and still had faith in my Jewish dream.

So I placed a lot of hopes on Israel and went to the GEM office to see if swapping internally was possible. But well, euphemistic was an understatement to explain the hopes I had. I was damn sure they'd hand Israel to me. Like a parcel wrapped in shiny blue paper with a ribbon to top it all off.

When they didn't, my world C-R-A-SHED. Like, I think I died a little. Imagine my heart beating like &(@)#. After all that dreaming with Jasmine, I realised nothing we ever talked about was gonna come true.


I wanted to cry. Like boohoo, cry.

And I was sad that I couldn't go overseas with a friend anymore.

Tried and literally begged with the staff a few more times, but... it didn't work. I must've been the 1,000,000000th person they encountered already. System's damn rigid. I must say, they were pretty patient with me tho. With all my pleading and whining. Yet, they didn't give in.


So, I have decided to give in.


New Zealand. I actually think.............. I'm gonna like it there. Overly positive even. BUT. I'm gonna have to be damn freakin independent. I'm gonna do a lot of things by myself. EVEN SO, I think coz of that, I'm gonna have a damn good experience there. I will really bring all of my socialising skills out to play.

Came home. Told my family, and they were happier than I was that I got my second choice instead of my first hahahaha. Coz for them, that's where they'd be heading to, to visit me once my bro's done with his ORD. My dad's been to Israel already but not New Zealand. SO I guess in a way, it was a trip for the family. : )

Whatsapp-ed Vivien that I'm gonna go visit her in the land of the Kangaroos and she was practically ecstatic!!! We have ideas to meet and do shit already. FREAKIN EXCITED coz we were discussing what we could do, and wooooooow! I really am excited. Tasmania maybe, if she gets her license over there in Aussie, we'd drive up mountains to see stars (and maybe never come back Sg again), eat kangaroo meat. Woah. And Jiaqi shall meet us there. Coz she has to.

I don't know what lies ahead, but New Zealand could be a blessing in disguise. And I really hope loadsa fun awaits.

I'm totally big on scenery. Like..... I'm always looking forward to see scenery more than anything else when I go overseas nowadays.


Omg, just left blogging for a bit to check out the Waikato website. Holy cow, I CAN HOMESTAY!!?!?!?!?! WOOOHOOOOO!!!!!! I'm going crazy already. I have mad cow disease.

Ok, I'm excited. That's it. Shall tell you guys more in time to come. From sucha sad shit day, I guess it ended on a high note. Thankfully.
