Back from Macau and Hong Kong!

Merry belated Christmas to you all! I hope that you have all spent a joyful Christmas with your loved ones! I know I certainly have :)

I just came back from a short yet very memorable trip with my extended family (a humble size of 8) to Macau and Hong Kong! We spent 3 nights at the lovely Venetian hotel in Macau, and two nights enjoying the (insane) crowds and bustling cityscape of Hong Kong <3








Needless to say, I absolutely enjoyed every single day in both cities. I had some of the best egg tarts, generous confectionery samples, humongous mall/hotel-hopping, free-shuttle-hogging, most desperate free-WiFi-hunting, and agitating "ohmigod-I wish-I-spoke-Cantonese" moments in my life, and many more that I'm looking forward to share with you. Also there were plenty a hilarious family moments xD

How did you all spend your Christmas? Have you ever travelled in Macau and Hong Kong? If so, I would love to know how your experience was! 

See you in the next post!

Study in New Zealand - Day in Life Campaign Launch!


Hello everyone!

After yet another hiatus due to finals (two more to go, actually), I'm back here, absolutely ecstatic to share with you my campaign video for Education New Zealand.

The campaign has just been launched today! The videos are up on YouTube, and also on the campaign's official page (http://studyinnewzealand.com/day-in-the-life/). I'll leave the YouTube version down below. Make sure you check out the other students' videos as well! Everyone has a different story to share :)



I would like to thank everyone who has supported me, namely my family, all my amazing friends I've found here in ACG and my besties in Indonesia, いつも応援してくれる渡邉武尊さん, and of course, the lovely crew of Clemenger BBDO, whom I got to work with during filming. I think we can all agree that they have done a beautiful job with filming and editing the videos. Words cannot express how grateful I am to have been chosen for this opportunity (as if my life in New Zealand hasn't been memorable enough so far <3 data-blogger-escaped-:="" data-blogger-escaped-blog="" data-blogger-escaped-br="" data-blogger-escaped-by="" data-blogger-escaped-for="" data-blogger-escaped-humble="" data-blogger-escaped-little="" data-blogger-escaped-much="" data-blogger-escaped-my="" data-blogger-escaped-so="" data-blogger-escaped-stopping="" data-blogger-escaped-thank="" data-blogger-escaped-to="" data-blogger-escaped-too="" data-blogger-escaped-you="">
So, if you aren't already considering New Zealand as your international study destination, here's the link to the Study in New Zealand website to get you started!↓↓

Well. Unfortunately, I hear that accounting practice paper calling me...
I will be back after the remaining two battles have been won. Yes I am looking at you, Accounting and Biology.

Hope you enjoy the videos! I wish you all a lovely week!

Much love and thanks,

Rotorua-Wellington Family Trip Winter 2014

Hi all!

It's been two weeks since I came back to school for my second term. I've been so stumped up with schoolwork (the struggles of being in fast-track) that I haven't been able to post here for the past two months :(

My family came to visit nearing the beginning of my winter break. They spent two weeks here while I was still in school, and got to spend one out of three weeks of winter break with me. In that one week, we went to Rotorua and Wellington (to extend my passport but was promptly declined because it was too early to do so :P)

Mt Ruapehu! We didn't go skiing there this time due to lack of time :P


 

The Luge ride at Rotorua! Absolutely loved it! As they said, once is NEVER enough. My brother and I got to get on it twice, first time in the beginner's track, and second in the intermediate track (it started raining then!). The second ride, coupled with the rain, was definitely the more exhilarating experience! <3

Going up after the second ride!




Hobbiton! We got really lucky that it didn't rain during our tour. It started raining after we returned to the starting point. We got to know some tricks they used in the movies, and got some drinks at the Green Dragon Inn.
