tough times

It has been a very tough week for me.. lots of things had happened and it has tested me emotionally... after that week, i learnt that i must be indifferent to a certain level and dont care bout the pass anymore.. i need to move on.. i shud think more bout myself and give less to others... That is my resolve from now onwards... i just hope that i'll have the strength to follow thru and be a better person to myself... i have had enough and i want to stop it! haiz.. first test coming next week.. damn fast... haiz... need to study hard lorh... haizz.....

Trip Up North

yoyo.. how are u all?? i've been up north for the first part of my winter break and it has been awesome! The scenery here just takes the breathe away from me.. *Thumbs up* Dunno how many times i exclaimed.. "wah... so beautiful lah!!!" haha.. there's alot to blog about.. but i'll only pick afew nice pics and tell the story short..

Hmmm... The first day, we drove like 4 hours straight to shannel's house, one of my kiwi frens. her place is further north of auckland and i cant seem to remember the name!!! haiz.. We reached there at night so nothing much to do.. one thing to highlight though is my fren's place is quite ulu.. even hot water supply is not unlimited... imagine kena catu air.. like can shower only max 5 minutes for each person or else shower ice cold water.. during winter somemore!!! i think maybe there's ten of us.. so the water heater cant work fast enough.. haha.. we just rested and slept...

One thing i noticed after spending a week up north is its sooo damn cold at night.. wonder how ppl in the south survive.. haha...

The next day, we went to do some hill climbing.. i attempted two hills but can only reach the top of one.. the other one was just tooo damn challenging.. it even has a notice saying... "for experienced hikers only" how the heck am i suppose to climb that sort of hill?? here's some pics to justify myself...
The first hill that we climbed... looks ok eh??
this is the view from top...
This is the second hill... i definitely cant climb that rock.. tried and failed miserably...

Then at night we went to see the glow worms in some cave nearby.. Its nothing special really.. i dont understand why tourist will pay to see these worms.. they're just stagnant, glowing bugs.. couldnt take any pic though coz it was pitch black... anyhow.. we took one super cool photo...cool eh? can be a poster for a thriller movie. hahaha...

Next we went to dawn's place.. its another fren that i knew in NZ but she is a formal malaysian.. her house i tell u even more ulu.. no line at all!! the water also need to pay bill.. first time hear such things in NZ.. usually no need pay de.. and wad's more, got curfew somemore.. after 10 cant shower.. thanks to some ingenious designer who put the doors to the bath room inside bedrooms where we need to kacau ppl's sleep just to get to the loo.. sad case... there's a few interesting things that happened though.. for instance...
the dumb blonde a.k.a Hui ling thought this is a cow!! we definitely had a good laugh out of that.

Speaking of dumb blondes.. we had nicknames on this trip... hui ling is the dumb blonde.. (proven above.. and sometimes she's just soo blur.. haha)

christine was the not-so-dumb-but-still-dumb blonde.
This is how she ordered McD drive thru.. we're suppose to order from the car... drive thru marh... see my point?
yi chiann is more versatile.. can be called a duck (no idea why..), hollow brain (said to lean on someone's shoulder to sleep but the head is like weightless) and sleeping "beauty" ( more like sleeping monster... reason is that she sleeps alot.. haha). No offence ya...
YC's long lost twin.. haha...

Me myself was named cinder-macho (instead of cinderella as i had to return back to the area where i sleep by ten due to curfew, 10PM).

At dawn's place, we travelled up north somemore and reached the northmost tip of new zealand!! the place is called cape reinga and the view was just splendid!! every pic i took was like postcard quality.. too bad my cam is low on battery due to some camwhores *hint hint* haha.. i chose this pic as i liked it the most...
oh yeah.. i had the best fish and chip in my life as well for lunch that day.. i liked the fish alot... its super juicy and there's no fishy taste at all.. amazing.. however.. its quite expensive lorh.. haiz.. the fish was priced according to the weight..

The day when i was suppose to depart for auckland, dawn's mum and step father told me that the house where i stayed for two nights in is haunted! that explained the footsteps that i heard during the night when i was asleep... super damn creepy!!
After the trip to dawn's, i went down to auckland... Met up with Chao Tung and Sarah.. Roger wasnt there as he went to south island for the Malaysian games.. haha.. We all said that Chao Tung grew in height! haha.. but i notice ppl in auckland all dressed up like artic explorers... In fact, auckland is the warmest location i've been to in NZ! haha.. super weird larh..
Chao Tung, Michael (CT's new best fren, number one student in NZ eh.. dont play play), and me...
I got back on the 30th of june and have been facing the com most of the time since.. and now only i found the mood to blog.. haha..
Its been fun travelling the northern region of auckland.. Although the driving was like crazy (230 bucks spend on fuel for the whole trip!!), i still enjoyed it alot.. i wanna thank all the host (dawn and shannel) that have let us stayed at their place.. saved alot of money lor.. You ppl have been awesome!! i wanna say thanks to ashley as well for using her car and bring us here and there and everywhere! haha.. Ashley's leaving to Singapore the next day.. kinda sad coz she had been an awesome fren.. Hope we do keep in touch thru MSN and hope to see ya in Singapore or Mas by the end of the year.. till then.. take care!!
