Farm...

MY favourite Lavender and me!!! love this pic a lot thanks Janice (^_^)

today morning we got to wake up eariler as we need to finish our moisture determiantion before we are go to the farm out of Palmelston North! In the morning is was so so cold maybe yday night it was raining think it is about 12 degree luckily i brought my thick white Mango coat to NZ. On the bus we met Alicja (wad a small town) she was also going to Massey she is meeting Mrs Rana husband (Mr Ravi) before we can go to the farm togather. This year we are extremely lucky becaused of Alicija (some1 with high post)the school wanna to bring her around NZ that we got the opportunity to join the tour.

After finishing our experiment is was already 10.15am we got no ideal at all where to find Don (i met him on the gathering last sunday). Think he was the directed of Sicence department if i am not wronged. Lucily we saw Mrs Rana she took us to Mr Ravi office. She told us if we appeared later they would have gone without us!

Inside the car Mr Korean(Song) sit beside our NZ chauffeur (Don). Alicja (poland) me and Janice was sitting behind. The campus actually had their own campus car... the car was Nissan red it was quite big. In Sinapore i think is will cost a bomb for SP to have thir own car to bring ppl out for a tour.

Before we went straight to the farm at ' Hunterville' Don drove home to get a stack of US money to bank in first well not kiddin is reali a stalk of $$. It took about 2omins after banking we went to a cafe in Downtown called ' Caper cafe' to get an early lunch . But it was more like a late breakfast i ate a Bailey cheesecake filled with white chocolate and a cup of warm milk . Alicja also got a slices of Bailey cheesecake too. maybe ppl named alicia juz like cheesecake while Janice got herself a pie with chicken cranberry and brie(type of cheese) same as Don and i got no ideal wad Mr korean got for himself. The best part is all the expenses is paid by Massey lolz... but Alicja insisted to pay her portion but Don get so irritated that he affronted Alicja as a geese! Actually after chatting a while with Don on sunday i know he was someone that isn't easy to due with when u have offened him, straight and do not like to beat around the bush sometime cunning do not really cared about ppl feeling due to his high postition . His joke always have spikes that will attack another parties. Not an easy old man. Well he also affronted us as geese too..during our journey to the farm but cannot remeber wad actually happened dat he make him said that. Well overall the day with him was ok not bad as long don't put Don words in my heart ...

At our journey to a horse farm the owner was named ' Lucy' she was not around too bad a cannot see my horses. But at her house garden it was planted with many LAVENDER!!! Which was not found in Singapore at all .... took many photos and Janice was so sweet she pucked a stalk for me. Caused i think is not my territory (wahaha) so i was not allowed to take some1 else property without any permission. But Jenice was thinking who will cared about a stalk of Lavender dan she juz pucked it for me!! juz a stalk was strong enough to filled my bag with the aroma.. it was so refreshing!! now i am regertting was not take a few more stalks wahahah...

My favourite Lavender

As Lucy was not around Don drive us all the way to the very top

Up the mountain we go...

of mountain. The view was magnificent! The sky was spreading with no end . It was light blue juz like the Simpson colour with white puffty clounds .. Just a few cm below was the huge greenery hills . With my bare eyes i can even see sheeps and cowing lying on the grass patch and eating the grasses!! Well it was too nice i reali do not have words in my brain sufficient enough to described them.

ME ALICJA AND DON

On the mountain the winds was blowing really strong and cold!!! my hair was in a mess.. Alicja have to go back inside the car to get her white timberland windbreaker. No kidding i cannot reali stand still if it was winter maybe i will be like a kite flying down the mountain .

The beautiful enterance to the farm.

That we headed to an organic farm...Wondering how Don know all the farmers??

the lady there was real friendly she bring us around her farm and explained to what is her main purpose of having the frame , how she manage and many others stuff. Think her main profit is from eggs . The hens there is trained to lay eggs in their own barn before they are free to move arund the farm. I can see chicken with cows together ! kinda weird . When walkin to the barn there was many cows when i try to take photo with them they are so timind that they run off... the reaction was so damn funny one of the cow was frighten by Janice and me dat it pee ... wahaha we was like saying ' How can they do this to guests?' that we laught our way off. The farmer dog was also as friendly like the kiwi ... keepin climbing on me but she was cute.. starting i was quite afraid juding by the appearance it seen to be fierce.. well it turn out totally different! We look the hens it was so smelly at the barn ... And feathes flying everywhere i was suffocating as i was afraid i will breath in the feathers wahaha...i learnt that the chicken was used it own beak to poke its own eggs due to curiosity.

the hen trying to poke the eggs...

When the hens feel comfortable with you, they will actually poke you . Alicja told me a guy in Poland fainted in the barn the chicken became friendly with him and started poking his unconcious body in the end he lost a eye isn;t that scary?

Cow dung!!!!

There is sheeps in the farm too as it was not their major business she skip on dat.. we spent about an hour at the farm . We thanks the lady for welcoming us and her hospitality dan we headed home. The NZ driver firstly send Alicja back to her motel followed by us .. On our way Don invite Alicja for dinner well i can feel she was reluctant caused it took her more than a few sec to give him the ans. Don was flirting with her on the way to the motel when they are taking photo 2gather he sae they look like a great couple but pls la Alicja was married with 2 sons she was always telling me how much she loved her kids and husband so Don pls give up wahah... maybe Don is a chicky person her wife is from canada we met each other on the sunday gathering. On our way home Mr korea forget to fetch his son so the poor Don got to go to Mr korea son's school dan to our motel dan to Massey... as we cannot get to the school on time his son was lost! Cannot find him in the school so Don had to go to Mr koren home to see whether his son is back. When we reached his house Mrs korea said he is not back yet. So Don have to drive back to the school again... well i was like sort of getting car sick... the road was not straight there was lots of round about...at last his son was on a street waiting for him... after sending Mr korea sin home we are on our way back to motel AT LAST.. Poor Don still need to send Mr korea back to his office dan back to MAssey. He told us that @ the hub accomodation owner was his friend. Well i was thinking even he is ur frenz we still cannot get any discount so what the big deal... Next tuesday hope we are able to join them again this time they are heading to Masterton !!! a 2 hours drive...

When we reached our motel it was about 3pm so we went to development photographs and send it to my mum with a birthday card for her.. cannot wait for her to recieved the card. Wondering what will be her reaction?? After that we went to ' Countdown ' supermarket again... After that it was time to feed the ducks again... i always cook extra portion for Janice but she ended up cooking noodle so the extra rice i will always placed it into a plastic bag and bring it down to feed the ducks. After bathing is cooking time again... after 3 wks of training i think i can chopped garlic and ginger at a faster speed and with better cooking skills wahaha...i cooked celery with chicken with Janice share too.. i got a great compliment from her saying it taste and look exactly like her mum dish too wahaha... lolz she even steal some of it when i was cooking other dishes...DAt my day... the most interesting day at NZ!! Janice stepped on the ducks dropping...erxin!!! Veggi + me my hair is in a mess!
