It's been exactly a week since I left KL. Still missing everyone like crazy.

So far, everything is slowly settling in.

Just had my first day at class today at New Zealand School of Music (NZSM). Went much much better than I thought it would! 

Met some very cool people from my course and started getting into our courses. Had the most interesting theory class ever! We got to sight sing from a score, with the four staves, Soprano, Alto, Tenor and Bass.

 My timetable is slowly accumulating with classes, tutorials, workshops... and heck, my bunch of violinists friends even signed us up for Pilates on Thursdays at 9am!

On a non-class note, the past week has been made very bearable by a new buddy, Doug, who was such a sweetheart! He saved my tears and from being stressed out as to what to do, starting out in New Zealand. Spent the entire first week getting my necessities, shopping and all the important paperwork done. He's one heck of a lifesaver.

Mom finally went back home to KL. It was hard seeing her go. But I'm so lucky she even came with me in the first place! Now she gets to deliver all the goodies from NZ to my sweet tooth sister.

Shall update more about that later. Just a quick update from Kiwi Land.
