kampung girl

whenever i travel i sureeeeeee bcome sick.thus,my mom calls me kampung girl coz i maca tak biase je travel.anywayz,the macam girls had an organized trip to south of auckland.it was soooo cold!!n me being me,i had to bcome a lil 'sickly'.who came to my rescue??? "dr.jamie"!! haha the owner of the lodge we were staying in.he was soooooo baik.its surprising how nice,warm n friendly ppl are to strangers.i guess they were trying to be nice to their guest,but it was over whelming,they soo went out of their way to make us feel at home n introducing us to the place.it was a cool expereince coz they treated us like equals thus making all conversation very light n open.the lodge was a bacpackers kinda thing so we were all living together n eating together n showereing together.so fun! oh n there was this place called SHADZ CAFE!! can u believe??!!all the way in nz.cool giler,sooo excited.hehehehe.

then the bus driver who was amazingly intellectual(u never know wht ppl r till u talk to em) was discussing religion wit me n hanzy.his german,staying in nz.he had his own i deas abt islam,the normal misconception tht islam=arab.soooooooo not!we really put things in perspective 4 him n he was really impressed.his a graduate of psycology or something.i was quite proud of the lil we could do to try to save the name of islam.he said he will convey the msg to his german friends coz germans like to try to "get to the root of things"(according to him).he did an impressive rsearch on our religion himself,then he tried to explain islams certain prohibitions-relating them to the olden days n how these days we dont need em anymore.we tried clearing things out 4 him(hope we did well)

its wonderful being exposed to diff ppl n diff views,expanding the mind(i hope)hahaha.

later
