Snoreeeeeeeeeee

I can hear the neighbours living downstairs snore...how?? well that person is an incredibly loud snorer. It took me a good half an hour after I decided to go to sleep to drown out the snoring sound. Incidentally - bumped into that person today evening as they were trying to find the electricity meter. His name is Charles and he is from Zimbawabe and teaches public health and administration at AUT {Auckland University of Technology} - it was a pleasent chat but that did not change the fact that I am amused that a person can snore so loud.

Speaking of which - another funny incident happened. I was trying to get in touch with Ryan, to tell him that I will be putting Gina's music video on the NZ DVD of 'Memories' but got connected to a complete stranger - in wellington... Found out later that Ryan had lost his cellphone and had given up that particular number but then bumped into Ryan later at school. Coincidences and accidents.

The whole day went into meetings and later on into sorting out some jobs which have come up. Also tried doing the test DVD but it has come to 4.5GB - fractionally over the desired limit, so i will have to redigitize some stuff and compress it even harder, to make sure that we manage to get the DVD under the limit.

Things are hotting up in NZ with elections just round the corner and National Party unveiling their immigration policy - "If immigrants don't like the way we do things in New Zealand, then they chose the wrong country to migrate to." Don Brash seems to have joined the ranks with Winston Peters - another politician with an extremist ideology. And surprsingly this comes in when fresh stastics show that population in NZ is close to static. Just makes one wonder whom these politicians are targetting???

Off to listen to the wonderful snoring from the neighbour downstairs from my room- i mean, going off to bed for now.

The thing that's ludicrous about the politicians is that the people who've imigrated to NZ are just as much a part of the nation as all the natural born New Zealanders. How can you say "you shouldn't have come here if you don't like my politics"? Well, when they become citizen's if they don't like those politics, he's going to lose votes or support very quickly.

lol..amanda- well if u knew my flatmates you wouldn't really say that :-D one of my flatmates really likes his music and God forbid if he starts blaring music in the middle of the night - not only do i get to hear the snoring but i get to hear it to some piece of music :D

and you are right, benji, some politicians here are just thick in their heads. Now they are also wanting to put strict regulations on bringing family members into the country. That sucks - no one is gonna apply for immigration if they start being such dicks. Plus they keep forgetting the fact that the white person is not a true kiwi according to the maori - who are the original inhabitants of NZ. Human politics sucks.
