the long awaited post...

I promised that i'll update about my trip to New Zealand, so here it is, exercise thunder warrior. A very beautiful place indeed, and the weather makes you never ever want to come back to Singapore, so freaking hot and humid that you just feel pissed being here.
On the way to NZ, always liked the scenery from the very top,especially at night where there's many many stars.
After the gruelling 9 to 10 hours plane ride, which i was asleep for most of it, was the 6 hour bus ride, a very long one, and since i was not accustom to eating plane food, it meant that i did not eat for the whole day. Haha, so apart from playing psp and sleeping, took some time to take some photos of the places that we drove pass.
Cannot be seen clearly, but this is the light of god, shining down on this particular hill, quite cool can see the rays everything.
The place where i showered, yes it looked comfortable, but it CAN run out of warm water, which means i'll be bathing in cold freezing water under freaking cold weather.


Ahhh what beautiful flowers, can see alot of it grown everywhere, very pretty.
The sun rising , can't remember what time was it, but the days were damn bloody long, 5am first light, and the sun freaking sets at 10pm! And this means that there's alot of things going on for a very long period of time.Another artistic shot of the sunrising by me, actually i think i quite talented, got the photographer flair. HAHAHA


Should be the sunset, when it gets dark, it really gets dark, so at night, you can clearly see the stars, and also the earth orbiting, i saw like 4 shooting stars in less than an hour.


This kind of sky, cannot be seen in singapore, simply beautiful.
The clouds in NZ are amazing, i can simply lie there for hours gazing at the sky, letting my mind wander, and can see alot of pictures and things in the clouds.
Taking a picture, the legal way. Superb scenery.
A few of my pictures where there's actually people inside it. I still prefer sceneries though, that's why the majority is on the landscape.
What more can you ask for, brushing your teeth with such a beautiful background.


There's a hole in the sky tonight....
The very big ice mountain, and the closer we got to it, the colder it became, so yeah, it became like our weather forecast.


The rain is coming, can see the contrast very clearly, in fact if you go to a high enough hill, if there's rain you can see it coming from afar, slowly swallowing the whole place so that you can only see fog in the distant.
Another lucky day as i got the glimpse of the sunset without any clouds obstructing.
Getting dark, time to pull out the sleeping bag. hahaa
Was our sky ever this blue?


Can't stop taking pictures of the sun. Breath taking view.
This meant, R and R! A stream leading to lake taupo, yes a lake in NZ, which is also coincidentally the size of singapore. hahaha


Went deeper in and found a nice spot for pictures, notice how close we were to falling in, hahaha but the water was warm, i wouldn't mind.


After that was at the village watching the people do the HAKA, freaking fierce, very nicely done.


A river formed by the water flowing down from the mountains, no residue at all, can clearly see the bottom, and best of all, its safe to drink.
After that was the 9 course dinner sponsored by SAF, oh the 9 course included the coke, tea, and of course the rice. HAHA
A place we went for lunch, then they had this luge ride where you sit in something like a car and steer it downhill. I think i broke the record for the fastest lap down the hill, crazy stuff which you only see in F1.

Part of the course, few crashes here and there, some minor injuries, but that's it. Actually it was more of burnout then F1, many many takedowns. HAHA
The hotel that we stayed, it was actually quite good, but it was too far away from town, so yeah quite inaccessible.
Getting dark already in town, didn't have much pictures on R and R because most of the time was flying around trying to get to places so we can shop. Everything closes at 5 sharp, so snapped a picture before we continued shopping.

R and R was too short, i wanna go back to NZ, read their visitors guide and there's like tonnes of tourist attractions that i never had a chance to go.

I think this post is damn long, so yeah hope you readers enjoy it, i'm shagged!
