NZ vs Msia

Yesterday, I went to Countdown Supermarket to get some groceries and I found a fairly cheap soft drink and thought that it would be good for me to buy and keep it for events as I am in the middle of crisis too. So it's written on the shelf ' Coca Cola 18 x 355ml can pack for $9.99, Save $5'. Saw that once I got into the supermarket and I do not buy a lot of soft drinks, meaning that I do not know how much it would usually cost. So, I just went strolling around the place to get the stuff I initially wanted and also checked the price of a normal bottle of Coke will cost. Found that 6 x 355ml can pack cost $3.99. So, I was like ' WOW'. Of course I decided to get that 18 can pack drink.

At the counter, with all the other groceries I bought, the total came up to about $53. I usually trust their system here, so I do not check the prices when they scanned the items. I do not do that back in Msia cause their system there is just terrible and just trying to steal money from us poor citizen. So, on the way back to my car, I was just looking at the receipt and I saw the drink I bought cost me $15.13 with $2.14 deducted which means $12.99. I paid $3 extra. Went back to the place and told them and was just trying to get the refund for the difference. So, I was just waiting for them to check the price, do their stuff on the computer and then they gave me back $13.
Then I was like, 'How much do I need to pay now?'
Sales person replied, 'Oh, no. It's free!'
My reaction was, 'Huh? Really?'
'Yes. It's the management's problem, so it's not your fault.'
'Oh, ok. Thanks.'

And so, that's how I got a free 18 x 355ml can pack of L&P!!! Woohoo!!! NZ is just so awesome. Imagine that in Msia. NEVER!!!!
*I know I said Coca Cola, but L&P, Sprite and Sprite Lite are among the range of drinks produced by the same company. I will never buy coke! Cause there's just sugar and acid and it taste horrible to me. L&P is one of the soft drinks that I would drink. Its taste is unique for and it has less carbonated water. Only found in NZ!! =)

Easter Break

Easter Camp
I was actually looking forward to attend this year's Easter camp but it started with a hit into my friend's car. His car had a small dent but mine was bad. So the week didn't turn up as good as it should be. I was so gloomy all day. Did not want to talk to anyone. Wanted to be alone and was thinking how could that happened. I was so excited on the way and I was singing in the car, but after the accident, I kept thinking about it. It was my first time. I know that there will always be a first time in anything. Overall, the camp was not too bad but my first Easter camp was the best!

Uni Games
Started our journey from the Rec Centre at 9am to New Plymouth. Had few stops in between and reach at about 12.45pm. Did our registration and then check-in into our accommodation. Went for a walk at the coast line, had dinner and then went to the opening ceremony. Let me ask you, What do you aspect when you hear the word opening ceremony?? Formal? Lots of talks? Food maybe? But none of those occurred this time. All they had was loud music and drinks!!! Are we at the club now?? Weird way of having an opening ceremony like that. That was the first day we were at New Plymouth
Second day was when we start competing. Our first opponent was Auckland University. We defeated them 5-1, and that was because I lost my singles. Well, that girl that was my opponent was actually being defeated by me before in Bersatu Games last year but I did not put in all my afford, so I was the only one who lost. Next opponent was from Auckland University of Technology and we lost but we gave our very best. It was because all their players were representatives for their region, which means they are trained players. (Ain't that unfair!!)
Last opponent was from Victoria University. Defeated them 4-2 and it was actually a very close match but luckily we still manage to win over them. And yes! That means that our team, The Massey got Silver for women badminton!

Mt. Egmont Tramp
After Uni Games ended on Friday, and also that is when Nai Chen, Pat, Chris and Zong Yu reached New Plymouth. We planned this trip to go up to Mt. Egmont and it was really a good one. I was actually all tired and worned out after three days of badminton but I still would want to go up the mountain. Sad enough, we did not manage to reach the summit, thanks to someone (you know who you are! but not blaming you for it since it was your first time and you did a great job, making us laugh =D). It was really steep and slippery. What an experience! At night, we camped outside the camphouse, looking at the sky full with stars and started to count the shooting stars. It was freezing cold outside, so after seeing one shooting star, I went to bed =)

Went to the beach the next day. ZY cut his foot, I ended up driving back with his car. Went to the hospital, waited 2 hours but none of the doctors or nurses came to see him, went back staight. (Long story cut short, a little lazy to blog now =) )
