Well so much has happened between December 2009 and now… January 2010
Decided to spend my christmas and new years in Sydney at the last minute (ok I was there for 20 days and very broke after that), it was a good experience as I have never been there before
Rented a car with GPS and got around Sydney for 4 days, exhausted and thrilled at the same time
Now I have a broad idea about Melbourne and Sydney, so I know where I would like to live in the near future *hehe*

Anyhow we had a blast, all I can recall now is alot of walking and money spending >_<
Thank you to all the people who have spent their time with me in Sydney, I truly appreciate your company and effort to meet up with me <3
A series of pictures will come shortly ~

Hang in there, I know I have been neglecting my blog
All in all I can say is, I finally got my Certificate of Eligibility from Japan, took 4 days to reach by EMS, then I took it to the Consular Office of Japan in Christchurch and got my visa issued within 3 days AWESOME-NESS! ^__________________________^

My contract is for 1 year, but my visa is for 3 years, so I am feeling very ecstatic about this~ <3
Bought a one-way ticket to Tokyo, only days left before I leave New Zealand (for good?)
Time will tell

The hand-made bear by JMAO as my birthday present standing right next to my Taro Milk Pearl Tea (as always)
Looks like his red scarf is keeping him very warm and happy
Thank you very much my friend… for I will always keep it by my side.. especially while designing at work (:

Another shot of him trying to eat some rice… *lol*
His arm is indeed very flexible alright!
She knows I like stripes, so that is why he is made of stripes!

I would like to introduce to the world… this girl here named Angeline WSJ… she would be my buddy since forever <3 (so as JMAO)
Thanks for celebrating my last few moments in New Zealand, and organising crazy outings!
Will definitely send you lucky charms (and yes love charms XD) from Japan!
We will meet again~

Not to forget them animals too! A cute dog enjoying the live music and its atmosphere

Nationwide renowned best Souvlakis !
This is Dimitris Greek Food on Colombo Street (at the moment they are no longer on Colombo Street, thanks to a bank taking over the location, so they are still to re-open somewhere), you can find them on Saturdays and Sundays at the Arts Centre from 10am onwards, meanwhile this is the only place to get them! Usually gets busy around late noon 2-3pm, but worth the wait and they are fast too!
Dimitri’s souvlaki contains generous chunks of tender meat of your choice (beef,lamb or chicken) with juicy sliced lettuce, diced cucumbers, drizzled with tzatziki sauce and their home-made tomato sauce. I personally like Chicken + mild chili mmm…. just superb! So what are you waiting for?

Viva Madrid Churros once again (: 15 pieces for NZD9
A tasty treat each and every time

Top: Original Glazed
Middle: Butterscotch Cruller
Bottom: Chocolate Iced Kreme Filled & Very Vanilla

Nom nom nom~ Original Glazed tastes the best as always, Very Vanilla was quite nice too.
The others are just alright for me
