Rainy day..

Today seriously cold lo~~ and vy vy tired too... dunno why~ shud b the weather la... haha... gud to sleep... anw, 2day nth much interesting oso... juz found this quite interesting out of the not so interesting thgs....
Smone actually left his/her coursebook in the cinema and the manager on duty e-mailed the lecturer bout it... haha... the funny part is how come smone can bring a book to the cinema when it's juz so dark to even read?? -_-|| another thg is that the Sky City Cinemas personnel are reli gud lo... they actually contacted the uni bout even smthg tat's considered trivial for them... haha... cheers to Sky City!!

The e-mail reads:

Hi there,

I am just writting to inform you that one of your students left their Chemmat 121 workbook at the cinemas. Their name is "M Turae".

If you could just let them know we have it and to tell them they just need to come to the ticket counter on Level 3 and ask for the manager about picking up lost property that would be much appreciated!!

Kind Regards,

Faith

After 4 hours bus ride, me, Florence and Pik Khee finally reach Rotorua to meet up with Pat and friends... hehe.. had lunch, check in to backpackers and next is the fun part!! The Luge!! haha... the above thing is the Luge kart lo... haha.. and a helmet la... so, basically, we sat on these and speed down the hill... and go up again and down again... NZD 45 for 5 rides + Gondola ride up the hill... worth it!!
Reminds me of Genting Highlands... hehe...
In the gondola... from left, Pat, me and Arvin...
We had to choose our helmets first... hehe... green is large, blue is medium and red is small... haha... dun we look like tortoises? Pat say i look more like a tortoise liao~~ -_-|||
