winter storm is coming ...

tajuk hangat di NZ today ...winter storm is coming our way ...kat South Island dah start snowing giler and expected to snow for the next 3 days ..kat Wellington, sebab betul2 kat Cook Strait, memang jarang snow ....coz angin will blow it inlands ...but what is expected ialah angin yang kuat ..hence, the nickname Windy Welly ...aku tak tau masa before sampai sini dulu ...but a few weeks ago dah merasa how strong the southerlies are!!! can be as strong as 70-100 km/hour ....and esok, the winter storm will bring with it strong wind, wintery conditions and all that ...huhuhu ..so, akak dah awal2 sediakan plan ....am gonna work from home!!! and avoid being outside ....sebab last week dah kena simptom asthma ...and i dont want it berulang lagi ....so banyak le plan joli aku kena cancel ...like dinner tonight have to be cancelled ...sebab akak tak sanggup kuar rumah ...and tak tau jadi ke idak akak kuar for the Welly LUX festival fri nie...it is actually a light festival sempena solstis musim sejuk ...but all is not lost ...i already have plans for Saturday ...hehehe breakkie with the ladies ...they will be picking me up on Saturday, just so I tak yah nak berjalan kaki ...coz of my asthma last week ..how nice is that!

at the Wellington Blown Away sign ...the sign was simbolik menandakan betapa kuatnya angin di Welly nie

anyway, itu plan minggu nie ....minggu lepas lain cerita ..hahaha i had a major migrain on Friday selepas aku jumpa my sv aritu ....most likely the shock of hearing my time frame till Jan 2016 yang buat aku panik hahaha and when it was cold, i got asthma thrown into the mix as well ...so had a really miserable day on Friday ...spent the whole day sleeping and makan ubat jer ..groggy the whole day ..and lack of food ....and on Saturday Kak Shidah said she was coming to pick me up biler dengar aku kata nak gi town to get some food coz rumah aku mmg kehabisan makanan ...so, went to do grocery shopping with kak shidah and her son ...gi Countdown kat Newtown ...

penuh troli ...fruits and vege ..with canned soups for wintery nights ...roti ..and chocolates (which was on sales!!!) for my family ..itu ajer yg aku mampu bawak this time round sebab dah bengkok bayar tambang yang mahal ..not complaining though coz it means i will be meeting my family soon!

masa shopping tu, tangan aku dok menggeletar like orang sakit Parkinson ...all because aku makan ubat before kuar tu ,,,and that ubat memang akan buat aku menggeletar ....was feeling better sket masa tu ....and setel shopping, Afiq suggested that we had lunch dulu before balik ...so, we went to this really nice cafe di Miramar ...called the Chocolate Frog .....sangat menarik cafe tu ....akak yang migrain terus kurang denyutan kepala biler masuk its gift shop hahaha ...and biler dapat menu, terus better lol ....

my supper yumm lunch ...halloumi cheese ...mushroom ..chutney ..rocket ..yummy sesangat ...halloumi cheese nie katanya originated from Cyprus/ Greece hehehe and diperbuat from susu dari goat, cow or sheep kata Wikipedia hehehe ...

tak sah kalau takde latte ...

eggs with hollandaise sauce ...kalau tak silap ....aku tak berkenan coz the eggs were runny ..tapi nampak delish!!!

and otw balik tu lalu kat that Wellington blown away sign ...yang menjadi salah satu landmark utama kat Welly nie ....Kak Shidah said she wanted to ambik gambar kat situ before dia balik Malaysia, and Afiq kata why not now kan ...so, we made a turn kat roundabout and patah balik kat situ ....so sesi bergambar di tepi jalan hahaha ....

anak beranak yang super cool

and masa kat sini lah aku terfikir nak buat video kat sini ...alang2 dah ada view cantik kan ...well, so happen that Bemen message me on Fri asking me if i want to do a short audio message for my students' farewell dinner ..i did that before i balik rumah and tido sepanjang hari that day ...and woke up petang tu to get another message from bemen and haslina soh buat video pulak ...so that it would be more impact ...ada ooomhh kata dorang ..told them if i am well i will do it ...ingat nak buat kat  uni berlatarbelakangkan the harbour view ...but alang2 dah kat sini, and view pun outstanding ...and ada Afiq to  film me ...so buat ajer ...and am happy to say that i managed to send to Bemen petang tu jugak ....and got numerous messages from my students ysng bakal nak grad tu that they were so happy to hear my short message ...awww...sangat terharu ...especially when we know that we are being missed!!! I am so touched that mereka kata they wish i was there for dinner ...and some emailed kata thank you and all that ...make my work all worthwhile kan ....terharu sangat2 ....

kaki pancing ramai lepak kat sini ...nun jauh di seberang adalah Welly city ...area Hatatai rasanya 

lepas berposing and bervideo di situ, kami balik ...they sent me and my bags of groceries home ...and i had a good rest jugak that day ....happy to say migrain disappeared on Sunday ...asthma pun takde ...till today, where I can feel shortness of breath especially when I was outside tadi ...tak sabar rasanya nak balik ke bumi Malaysia ...well, tinggal 18 hari lagi ...woot woot ..
