*Sneezes* Godammit...
Im having flu , and NO i hope its not swine flu.
Sigh,peers will be avoiding me soon.Vaccination costs around nzd18.50.What the hell...I blame the excessive 2 hours work out yesterday at late night,i blamed the 2 hours of swimming in moana pool before dinner,i blame the freezing cold weather...
Before you click X to close this tab and decide you hav no desire to read yet another rant detailing the flaws of the public health system or simply how sucky my life is let me just say that i understand everyone has their problems and now im trying hard to be optimistic.

The hall of residence im residing is the best hall i have ever been but to a certain extent i feel tht the residents are likely to have a bias towards international students (by saying bias i dont mean discrimination).Being the only international student,the staffs here may think its cool,good for them but for the residents here,they do think you can speak their language...AT ALL.So they were like wow...ya speak like a kiwi,are you sure ya a foreigner?I dont find it necessary to check my passport to reconfirm my nationality.They say i fit well into the environment but quite often,many things remind me of home.And i am not narcissistic enought to believe i was doing them a favour by adapting to kiwi's slangs.

Toga parade this year was like ~wow.The toga parade debacle made it all the way from ODT to CNN,thus ensuring that the people involved we're not just considered uncouth idiots in their own country but worldwide too.Wait a sec,i was in the toga parade but not participating in it,taking pictures of them is rather an enjoyment for me and JOno.Its predicted tht it will sore the country's image.While i want to clarify tht i am not in any way defending the practise of students throwing faeces n pukes while chanting their own colleges (membangkitkan semangat assabiah,rasanyer),i do feel tht quite a number are ruining the country's image.Asian peers in science field are stereotypically labelled as nerds and antisocials.Fair enough as the drunkens are todays' media vandals which mostly consists of the non asians.
What Dunedin city needs to try to attain is a process of mutual respect.When i say a 'process' it does starts from colleges.People (im like seriously) dont worship med or dent course as if they were the only courses to be in for.Fcuk u if u dont understand.
I have friends (sadly most of them) tht are living up to what we've been labelled,in a self-fulfilling propechy.We all need to remember that you can catch more bee with honey than with vinegar,and that those who are treated with respect are more likely to return it.Just because im unable (lowest probability ) to get into med or dent,doesnt mean tht i dont bring the IQ up of my very own label.And if being Asian is such a disadvantage (to some PPL),then try speaking our language and comprehend.
Its win win.Now fcuk off.
