Tuesday, December 26, 2006 @ 3:23:00 PM
hhmm, this will be a long long post. so bear with it. mom sent us to the airport and duh, i cried. imagine there's no mom around me for like 10 days, it will be very bad. anw, reach NZ at around 12 noon. its 5 hours faster than spore. went to take the HAGGLUND ride and was quite fun lah. initially was good but aft that, it becomes boring. went to see some penguins and went to have our dinner. aft dinner was to take a stroll into the forest and see the Maori ppl perform. yup, that's the culture of NZ and its quite fun too. took a look at many animals such as parrots and kiwi. overall, the first day was okay.

third day was to head to the west. to Fox Glacier and its kinda cold over there. its summer, so the sun sets at 9 plus. cool huh. there were so many stars in the sky, so diff from spore and we went to the forest to take a look at the glowworms. just like blue diamond shimmering, so beautiful.

the main highlight of the third day was to take the jetboat ride. yipee! i've been looking forward to it since day one. anw, morning was jsut to go around diff places and take pics. went to take the pic of waterfall and see many mountains. NZ is filled with mountians and lakes. umm, the longest lake in NZ is the lake Wanaka. yup, went to mrs Jones shop to buy some fruits and macademia nuts. haha. you know how they scare the birds away? they use guns and u can hear gunshots. lol. finally, jetboat time!! we dressed in their poncho and i look like a dumpling lah. wrap up like duno wad. weee~ its so thrilling. haha. they have the 360 degree turn and woohoo... scream like nobody's business. after that we went to mine for gold. like wth. im never so lucky so what's the point. but i still mine for it in the end. haha. candy got a super tiny piece of gold. a size of a mole. haha. check in into Copthorne hotel in Queenstown. went for spa and im roasted like a pig.

that morning brightens up my day. he talked to me for the very first time and my heart pumped very quickly the whole time. aiya, he's the kind of guy i like. yup. met all my criteria but seriously speaking, when i met my so-called mr. RIGHT, i find that im not up to the standard to be compatitable with him. so, i don't know whether izit a good or bad thing cuz it will lower my self confidence. hhmm, anw, that day we wen to look at the Bungy jump which was terrific can. there were 2 ppl i think wen t to jump! oh man. it was super high and if i jump, you can hear me scream at the top of my lungs. wen loong said he wanna try but didn't in the end. sigh. we went to the winery too and finally, took the TSS Eanrslaw boat to another island. had our bbq lunch and went to see the sheeps. he let out the sheeps and they just run around. ppl were busy taking pics and feeding the sheeps. there i was running away from the sheeps. some sheeps ran after me and i screamed like nobody's business lah. bleah. scary cat, i know. thereafter, we look at how they shave away the sheep's fur. lol. quite funny and overall, benefited from it. went to Queenstown for shopping and bought a cap for only 1 dollar!!! eh, so cheap can. lol. ate fish and chip for dinner and back to hotel. time for spa again!!

the 6th day was actually the best day of my life. well, that's wad i think. hhmm, we took a cruise to Milford sound. it was awesome. waterfalls everywhere and its the best when i went up to the above there where the wind was the strongest. many AZUMA(the korean aunites) and AKASHI(korean uncles) were up there taking pics. lols. everytime our tour guide, peter, would say ''here comes the AZU DE MA or the ANNEONGHASAEYO.'' haha. he was damn funny can. haha. made the grp laugh like hell. haha. yup, i just love the trip to Milford Sound and most importantly is, the 3 of us took a pic. me, him and his bro. shall post it when i upload it into the comp.on the way back to Queenstown was also the best. we went to take pics of the mountains, drank holy water and went to see mirror lake. in the bus was great cuz everyone crack jokes and the 3 of us were talking tgt. yup, we share the pics that we took and talked about sch and all. i love the 6th day the most.

7th day was the worst. i don't know why too. i was moody the whole day and i think its because the other 10 ppl from our tour grp will be heading back to spore the next day. the whole tour grp consists of 20 ppl. my OWN grp already made up half of the proportion. the other 10 only stay in NZ for 8 days while we stay for 10 days cuz we would be heading to the North. so i had a very awful feeling inside cuz i know that we will not meet each other agn when we go on separate ways. the grp crack jokes agn when heading back to ChristChurch. leaving Queenstown with memories that can never be erased.we checked in to the first hotel where we came on the first day. yup, i know im going to say goodbye to him the next day, but wad can i do?

had our same old breakfast again and off we went to the ChristChurch airport. the 10 of us bid goodbye to the others and he came to me and gave me his email add. was very happy inside and his elder sis, Su Re, wish me luck for o's and im thankful for that. i forgot to wish her back. haha. anw, all the best of luck to Su Re, wen hsin and wen loong. miss you all loads and hope that we can meet up the next time. hhmm, our grp went to take the domestic flight to the North. urgh, i felt so miserable on the plane and i miss home damn much. the whole day wasn't that good. i just can't be happy at all. yup, even if i smile, its just all so fake. went to some ulu hotel and had Mac for dinner. went to shop for chocs in Pak 'n' Save went back to the hotel to rest.

can i just summarise the next 3 days? okeh, sunday was so so and we headed to Auckland after that. 5 star hotel!!! Skycity hotel with casino and its the tallest hotel in NZ. quite class lah and went for shopping on xmas eve. bought a rip curl wallet and bag. earrings, keychains and some stuff. went to gym for exercise and swimming aft going back to hotel. had cup noodles for dinner and watch the TWINDOUBLES show. its sth like Miss Universe and they were going to choose the most beautiful twin in the world. i went to sleep before cuz was so tired. peter gave us choc each but i got another prezzie. hehe. he bought me a pair of earrings and it was nice. thanks alot. its finally xmas and the day that i will be going back to spore. i saw the havanias that i wanted so much. it was so much cheaper there than in spore. spore sells it for 50 bucks but there at most was only 30. i didn't buy in the end cuz i dun have money. dad didnt wanna buy for me and so here i am, leaving NZ with regrets.

yeah, that's all for the whole trip. will post pics cuz it will tell u everything of NZ. yep, i miss there and the ppl. how i wish i can rewind everything and spend the 7 days with everyone again. may God bless everyone and best wishes. MERRY BELATED CHRISTMAS!!!!!
