First wkend in Palmy..

Its my first wkend in Palmy! Things been going gr8 with the exceptions of a few hip-cups here and there..





Arrived on Wed late afternoon at Palmerston North airport.





My flight from Singapore was delayed from 2100 take-off till 2315 take-off. Was practically walkin around the new T3 and appreciating the new structure. The departure hall inside is really classy and spacious for passengers to walk around. Alit like walking around Vivo, juz that Vivo is alot bigger and covered with more shops. The flight over was packed as usual with all sorts of passengers and air stewardess were all average looking.





Weather in Palmy is generally cool with lotsa wind and close to clear skys. At one point, I was almost blown away at the carpark in the airport, while collecting the car. First day was to get some things sorted away. First on the list was to find a place to crash at least for the night.. Was searching for almost 3 hours before finding the one i'm in now at Palmy 31. The place is not to bad. Rather small but comfy for juz the stay.. Thereafter, was in search of the car that wld last me for at least this year. Althou' cars in New Zealand ar alot cheaper than cars back home, its still kina hard to find one within my budget. I`m a student now soo must act like one!

This was one of the car at a aution centre that i frequent for the pass few days. They have different kind of aution on different days and prices can be really interesting at times. Brand new AudiTT in NZ will cost around $80,000 to $110,000

The car that i might be getting.. Not sure yet but it seems to be in the best condition but gona pay alit more for that.. and maybe meeting the owner later on in the day!

The car that i wld love to buy but its kina over my budget. Its a Honda Integra Type R! Going for $9,000. Nuthing wrong with it, its runs really smooth and no rust or faded paints. Maybe juz change the seats and its ready for race.

Life is rather lay back around here.. Guys here are engineer in someway or another as paying for repair service or services is kina expensive.They also love to suit up their cars at one point or another and race down the road on certain nights. Even a suit up car here is cheaper than those in Singapore.. hai...

Had my orientation on friday and met my coursemates! Its like going to an international school. There are guys from UK, Aus, Korea, Taiwan, india, Kiwis and i think there is one from Malaysia(have yet to meet up). There are 2 young girls in my course but they are like 17 or 18.. Really young in the course.. I almost fell asleep at the briefing from one of the adminstrative stuff..

Coming to more recent stuff.. Had a gather with some of my coursemates and they are really cool people! Watch Lee Evan at one of the guys hall and had beer and chat for a while before heading down for a (Singapore) senior farewell gathering. Farewell party was actually a "sabo" session on the leaving party. Was the first time we met the senior and we ar looking at his ass at one point of time, out in the cold by the river with deep heat, lipstick, flour, some oilment and a whole lot of rubbish rubbed on him. And of course he was tied up on the hands and legs, like how Jack wld do it on Audie.. Hahaha! Btw, the senior is a commando! haha...

Aniway, its like coming 1045am over here where singapore is 0545am. Gona leave to take a drive down to huntervillie which is an hour away to see the FTO.. Wish me luck on the deal..

Might not reply immediately but i will sooner or later. Aniway, my NZ num is 0210746467, country code is +64. Keep me posted of Singapore events yeahz! Cheers mates...
