Last night have a bottle of beer with my apartment mates and it did helped me in sleeping well as I drag to wake up at 7 and sleep till 8 plus before I got up and start washing my clothes then I cooked yesterday soup which was untouched as I join them for dinner yesterday. The soup taste light and sweet, the corn is great but the carrots is too soft and I throw the carrots away ( one thing I cant stand is the bin without a plastic bag, its dirty and I was pondering if I should add onto that by throwing the carrots into it) then before that start on wil skills audit as there was not much time left and emailed my questions to the coordinator as I hit 400 words on my first point, the limit to the 10 points was 800 words each meaning each is about 100 then not sure if citation is needed.
Went to the accommodation office to get my electricity papers for my stay as it is in the $270 that I paid for and then to the 180 to register for bus tour as well as buy concessions for both the train and the buses and decided to visit 166 to look at the recycle items and saw a bunny there! I went to chase after it trying to hold it but lost it then went back to the pathway to the hostel and decided to go for a walk in the waterfall at the back of the apartment, got my feet into the water and took some pictures and then went back to the apartment.
Then since my apartment mates went to inspect houses, I went with margaux to the beach coyle park at pt chevalier as it was a warmer day today and the beach was different from Singapore, there is clams and sea gulls and there’s mud like sea beds which allows you to walk deep into the sea without your clothes getting wet. But beware of where you return as there are some point where there is very muddy with steep rock beds and clams and shells making it very sharpy on the road, I went to the wrong way and found myself move slowly in order not to fall in the muddy slippery and sharply sea bed. Then walk from the bed to wash legs before catching bus back to unitec and walk from gate 3 again. Then later after bathing got to eat dinner with my apartment mates, today they bought lamb and chicken so it could be consider my first meaty meal here and I discover a cool dessert ice corn to sub as ice cream. After dinner it’s a walk to the path to pak and save but not exactly there just walk back to campus halfway and there is a dog school on the way back to the campus. Also saw 2 rabbits when we came back. Tml is orientation day so need to wake up early haha btw laduary is a total of 6 dollars for wash and drying and that you need your own washing powder
