University of Auckland!

Have been going for orientation these 2 days. Feels like a freshie all over again! Getting lost in school... impressed/amazed by some stuff u see around school... introducing yourself, going on campus tours, trying to make friends.. Anyway i am so not used to introuducing myself as "shyuan". I need to hestitate awhile before i tell people my name. They keep insisting that "woan" is my middle name. -_-!

ps: i didnt take this picture. stole it off the net.

UoA is a interesting place. People really like to sit on the grass and watch the grass grow. Really got people just sit on the grass at some random spot and read book or use laptop! Western culture. Haha.. I told weijing i want to sit on the grass and take picture! Next time i'll be on the cover of UoA international student handbook booklet with that picture. :)

Some pictures taken of the new business school. Reminds me of SMU.

At AoU, Real Estate people are under the business school. Or sometimes called commerce. Heard they just completed this nicey new looking building recently. So good for me! Don't dare to take too many pictures around school cause i'll look very sua ku! Snapping pictures around school looks weird.

I look upset in that picture. maybe because i cant open my eyes i cant smile properly! It is coordinated! haha. Super sunny day. Can get sunburns standing out there for like 20 mins. But the air is still cool.

Greenery! What makes NZ NZ. Fits the geographical imagination which fernleaf or nestle created! Just that auckland is lacking the sheeps and cows. Haven seen any yet. Only got those slaughtered ones in supermarket. :(

endless toilets! got so many cubicles. I was so impressed I thought NUS should take this as a case study and do something about their toilets. PLANNING DISSERTATION! They have hand towels for you to dry your hands too. And their tap water is warm!! YEa... i like! But might as well since their summer isnt exactly warm anyway. So... the water better be.

When the toilet is very nice what do girls do? Take picture! The cleaning auntie was pretty amused by us.

Just when you think UoA is all bright and new and modern, check this out!Scary! look like dracula's castle! Picture is kind of blur because it is night mode and the camera lags a little. Probably moved in the process of capture. Also, was quite busy fighting off mosquitoes! So cant help it but move abit. Alright.. not quite abit.

Auckland is a place of not too good topography for lazy people like me. There are slopes EVERYWHERE. really EVERYWHERE. gonna have nice toned sexy legs when i get back. Maybe can lose some weight from all the walking too. So i dont have to come back with 5kg more. All i want is to still be able to wear my levis when i get back. Not asking much right?

The slope I got to conquer everyday. Just outside my apartment. Look carefully at how the cars are parked. It is really very steeeeeeep and longggggggggg.

The slope seems gentle here. But it is really pretty steep! evidence no 2!

got English assessment test tmr. Hope all goes well and it should!
