Rotorua

Okie... now to next destination: Rotorua
Land of HOT thermal activity. It is said it is not uncommon wake up one morning to find a hot spring in what was once your green garden in rotorua. It is also a Maori cultural centre.


Oh. That's the hotel bed. Did I mention? New Zealand hotel rooms are VERY spacious. Except Welly I guess. Welly is the smallest... though still a lot larger than hong kong's.

Photos of NZ Trip

Decided to put up some photos of my trip. Shall be posting them over the next few days, in chronological order i guess.

So up first! Auckland!


Britomart train station. One of the only subway lines in New Zealand (can u believe that!)



Beeaauu-tiful weather~ (which was really rare during the trip!!) Taken during our harbour cruise.



Sisters~ That's the auckland 'skyline'. Taken during harbur cruise. Really liked that cruise. Afterall, Auckland is the City of Sails. The world's highest sailboat per capita.



Look! The sky tower growing out of my sister's head!



Hmmm.... pity I didnt take photos of the streets of Auckland. Note to self: I should take more photos of streets whenever I travel~

Anyways... the coach ride from Auckland to Rotorua via Waitomo was really nice... Here's a shot.


At Waitomo gloworms cave



Rabbit shearing!!!!!!! That's the bunny being streetcchheed...

Countdown to 21st

Back on sunny island~

hello! i'm back~ back some time ago actually!

now tt i've settled down... i'm bored at home. so i just did up a list of wat to do and realised tt in fact, i have tonnes to do! boring stuff nonetheless. stuff tt i'll rather avoid la. like packing, driving (i dun even want to mention it actually)

& i "resolved" one today. my 21st bday bash. and unfortunately the conclusion is no more bash :( i couldnt get my condo's function room on any of the decent dates. so that's that. *sigh* really wanted all my best pals to gather together. tt would be so fun. and i have to say that my condo has a really nice common area. lotsa palms, greenery, water. would have been a great place for a nice gathering.

o well... shall run off now. shall look for chocs to make myself feel better abt the nonexistent bash and long list of to-dos.
