Nope, I haven't been neglecting my bloggie... In those three weeks of silence, I've been doing lotsa productive thgs... haha! It was winter break and I got basically about 1 month of break... If I din do anythg, I'm sure to collect dust... So, I went around quite a bit and first stop was Palmerston North for the Bersatu Games...
Bersatu Games are held annually and it's an event joined by Malaysian students societies all over NZ... Next year, it may and most probably will be held in Auckland!! hehe~
