I'm having break now. For freaking 5 weeks! (Entering the 4th week on Monday).
Didn't do much so far but enjoying it.
My daily routine: Wake up around 9am, jogging (not the past two weeks as it was too cold) - excuse is like an asshole, everyone has one! , eat breakfast, go library, read books/magazines, free internet, read till hungry, go back for lunch, walk on Queen Street (so called exercise), back to library, read, go back home on 5.30pm, cook dinner, eat dinner, watch TV (sometimes), online, msn, emails, offline, read, sleep.
It goes on...
I did try to look for a part time job! Daddy & Mommy, really, I DID! Just submitted my CV to a chocolate boutique, hopefully will get the job and can eat endless goooood handmade chocolate. It will be a perfect job for me XD - Call me soon!!!
At the same time, waiting for my result for Sem 1. Let's hope for the best, praying hard that it is not too ugly to look at.
Dear Daddy & Mummy, Thank you so much for everything. I never thought of studying oversea but you two worked hard and made my dream come true. Love you two always and forever. Miss you all.
Dear friends back home, Thanks for all the warm wishes. It was very nice to receive birthday messages at 4am local time when I was sleeping. So sweet of you all to remember my birthday! Love ya and miss you!!!
To many many new friends I made in New Zealand, Thanks for the warm wishes and presents. Thanks for celebrating with me at this foreign land which I am still very new. Your kindness will be the most I miss when I'm back home. We do not know each other long but you guys gave me a memorable 21. Thank you very much! Friendship forever.
To many many friends who wrote on my facebook wall, Again, thank you very much for your warm wishes. We will continue to keep in touch on facebook. What a wonderful site with the advance of technology!

Q7 Find the Wikipedia page on public relations. If you were going to add or amend that page, what would you write? How would you define public relations?
Definition: Public Relations establishes and maintains the relationship between an organisation and its key publics in order to maintain a good image. Public relations people advise management on policies, channel and coordinate within an organisation the activities that affect public relations, provide mechanics for explaining an organisation and its policies to various key publics through communication media and ascertain to management what various key publics think about the organisation.
I would add some key terms and their definitions on the page such as PR Technician, PR Practitioner, Dominant Coalition, Key Publics, Boundary Spanner and etc.
Q8 Can find any uploads that might have been created by an activist public. How do you think you could test the veracity of the source?
The veracity of the source can be tested using google search on child labour in India or log on to World Vision’s official website for further details and media coverage.
Q9 Can you find a site out there (not a quick visit to iTunes please!) that is routinely using podcasts? This test your search and find skills!
Q10 Think about the organisation you described in your last assignment. How do you think that organisation could apply these tools?

# I still managed to keep my promise to blog at least once a month =D #
It was 7.53pm, I was happily enjoying my dinner and the emergency alarm went off!!!
Me: "Is it our alarm?" Friend A: "Err..., it's pretty loud." Friend B (out from the room): "It's fire alarm, we need to go down." Me: "I will knock Friend C's door and get my passport and keys!"
We went down by stair (of course!) and guess what - 2 fire trucks, 1 big 1 small were already there. In less than 30 seconds, another two came.
It was pretty amazing how fast they got here! How can they arrived faster than me?
5 minutes later...
No fire and we are safe. Everyone rushed back to what they are doing and everything is back to normal. I continued my dinner and the drama of Chef Ramsay on Hell's Kitchen.
Btw, the fire alarm was triggered by the smoke of an overheated oven left unattended by some ignorant people. At Level 6!
*The New Zealand Fire Service is really impressive! So efficient that it took shorter time than me walking down from Level 5 to arrive at the fire scene! Claps*
