Wellington trip 5-7April 2008






5th april
arrrrrrrrhh when we reach welly is was rainning like cats and dogs.. so cold when we alight we ask for help to go i SITE but the driver was nice he sae is a big walking distant if walk from wellington railway station to Tory street so he drove us to a nearer place and alight us there..when we alight luckily i had a unbrella coz it was raining heavily. but i was quite mad at janice i told her to bring her own umbrella she dun wanna so i had to share with her. is not dat i am selfish is juz that everytime i tell her to bring her umbrella she dun wanna so i alway have to share with her and get another of my body wet and i hate it coz i it will be veri cold! so is not the 1st time i have to share umbrella with her i mean y can;t u juz bring an umbella is it reali dat tough and heavy?? Louis was caring enough to text me to make sure we are safe in welly.

First thing when we reach there was to look for our backpacker (Wellywood) to place our luggage so we can walk to i Site and get our lunch without carryin our heavy bag. After we had made our payment and get our room keys we went to get our lunch.. we went to a turkish restaurant the meat was too dry i think i dun reali like turish food subway taste nicer! after dat we went i Site and we book ticket for a night tour call ' Korori Sanctuary". after dat we went to the gallery and went back to motel to take a rest as it was too cold to walk on the street. I 4gotten to bring my white mango coat with me to welly so it was freezing !outside especially it was a rainning day too.






















After we get our drink i got myself a hot chocolate to keep myself warm while Janice got a cold drink... we wwalk to i Site to get our coach dat will bring us to the night tour. Before the tour start i got myself a pocho coz it was still rainning.. so during the whole journey i was freezing without my coat i was wearing 3 shirt and a jacket but i was still cold . but janice was reali freezing she onli wore a shirt and a coat but is sleeveless luckily the ppl there is kind enough to lend her a coat if not i think she would definitely fall sick. the place we went is approximately one square mile it sound small but actually it is very huge...it will take at least 500yrs to fully restore the Sanctuary valley to its pre-human state. We are lucky enough to have a experience with the iconic species like tuatara, little kiwi(too bad we onli hear them but did not see any), hihi a type of bird. the most AMAZing part is we saw glowing worms!! it give out light blue clour. the more hungry they are the brighter they glow to attact food. which is the small insect. is like looking at x'mas light bulbs.. it was a nice experience but during the walk i hurt my angle caused it was a natural Sanctuary so no light was build all we had is a little torchlight and i had night blindness so i didn not notice the pathment was slippery with mud. luckily is not dat painful but still affect me somehow... after the night tour we head back to our motel take a rest coz jan hurt her feet the weather was too cold dan it go numb. after dat we went to BK for dinner. bathe and zzz



6th april

Morning we wake up it was still so cold... they dun have any heater OMG! so we went to took our breakfast Jan where to a more expensive cafe . juz a normal egg with bacon is like NZ$12 well i was poor not as rich so i wake to BK and eat my breakfast alone for only NZ$6. Well i enjoy the breakfast cause i can juz sit there veri relax juz look at the ppl crossing the road see the car and watchin almost everything. After dat a van came to pick us up to Kapiti Coast it is a place the tourist muz visit. First we went up all the way to 500M above the sae level. after dat the man i think name bill drove us down to the tourist attraction. First we visited a place name Prenzel. Basically it sell Award winning Liqueurs, Infused olive oils, Vinaigreetes, Superb Gourmet Jams, Dips and topping. Very nice shop to shopped as there is so many things dat cannot be found in Countdown and in S'pore. So i brough a Butterscott taste like Bailey but nicer properly is it is sweeter. Well i planning to bring it back for my class Chalet and share with my gals. i also tasted their diff flavour of oil that is eaten with bread is like a dip. well it turn out to be not dat nice. After dat we visited a Chocolate factory call Nyco... i brough some fas a gift. i dun wanna get it for myself although i love chocolate. i have been eating about 1 block of chocolate myself coz chocoalate especially Cabury is so cheap and always on sale there. But i tasted a interesting spicy chocolate there is chilli inside but not reali that hot. Well jan buy so much like it was free..think she is reali rich . After the chocolate tour we went to a cheese making outlet. i tasted quite a number and i reali like it. the worst part is dat the cheese can be found in Countdown..well so i am not reali interested so i chatted with Bill while Jan do her shopping again. Our last destination is to this shop dat sell honey and wine. I brough a honey wine actually i wanna share with the aviation guys when we gg to their house for dinner but i am so afraid they prefer full body wine instead of sweet wine..so i ship it back to s'pore for my dad insead.


After all the shopping Bill drove us to a car museum. it was a cool place to go.. it is 3 level all filled with cars and motorbike. The guys will certainly like it . there is this car that is use to film 'Back to the future'. About 20-30 horse carriage look so romantic... we spent about 30mins there. Bill was nice enough to give us extra time to tour around. We suppsoe to reach wellywood at 12 but we reach at 1pm instead...


After dat we went to Tapapa Museum. When we walk there we took pictures beside the sea ...it is a muz to visit the Museum when we are at Welly. we spent the whole afternoon there... is like 5storey high so big... so by the time we get out is was like 6pm. As autum is coming the sky is as dark as 8pm. it was freezing cold. when walking back we went to ' new world' their supermarket in Welly. Actually wanna get logzenges as the weather is too cold so my throat is not feeling well. Is so dry and i think i have a slight sore throat. When i walk around make me think of Joe cause he always wanna find lime juices so i brough a bottle for him. Palmy got no lime juice!!! wahaha..i also walk around to get breakfast for 2moro morning and i was so shock to see korean instant noodle selling at sure high prices! instead of after 8 chocolater they have one call after dinner..haha after dat we had our dinner in a shoppin mall after dat we went to catch a movie. Gone baby gone... jan was zzz inside!! the ticket was NZ$12.50 for student so expensive the seat inside is so much bigger it is also sofa seat. no wonder jan can fall zzz... after the show it was like about 11pm . Take a home bathe and zzz...


7th april




It was our last day in welly! time fly... so in the morinig we went to Seal Coast Safari.we got see the sea beckon bed answering the call of the sea. when driving to the seal colony we got to take many pic of the scenary. there is wild horses running around we even spot a white horses ! there was countless number of sheeps and cows. We even got to see the famous Red rock and we also got to the place where filming of 'Lord of the Ring' took place so cool man. After 30mins at last we reach. we had a close up observing the seal . Enjoy the scenary with peace while the guy handle us a cup of tea and fine muffin and he explain to us about the seal. he told us this colony is all male seal while all the female is in the South island. wahaha all the seal we see is the 'usless' one cause when they are in South island they cannot win another male seal therefore they cannot get a female seal to have his offspring. therefore ended in welly coast... anyway they are so cute. When i try to get near to one of the seal he actuali open up his crazy damn big mouth and groaned at me! Scary man..
After the trip we went to take Cable car ...Yeah this is wad i wanna to do when i was in Welly. we pay NZ$2 and got to Wellington Botanic garden. although i was at botanic garden i cannot wait to go back to do my shopping. Wellington was a city famous for shopping. the ppl there was so well dressed with boots nice jacket and the guys in smart suit. So we juz spent about an hr in the garden and took the cable car back to the city. In Botanic garden we saw this bench dat is so special. it was mend for a loving couple think name patrick and mary..when i sit there is like i can feel their love under the shady tree.think they passed away so their children build it for them...so sweet right...
Yeah Shopping time... well me and an went separately caused i like to buy clothes and bags while she like instrument and books. After about 2hrs i brought 2 long sleeve shirt so i can wear in the freezing lecture hall , a dress and a billabong handbag. Altought the bag coz NZ$60 but in s'pore i cannot find sure nice design. When i was taking pic infront of a shop suddenly got 2 man in suit stood beside me! so i juz took a pic with them and they smile and walk off...wahaha wad a lively character they have...
After shoppin we head back to wellywood to get our bags and stuff. We have to check out as tonight we got to catch our coach to go back to Palmy. i got subway for my dinner while jan got a kebar again... we waited for the bus to bring us to the railway station to catch our coach. When the bus came we ask how much we had to pay the driver is so rude. No wonder ppl ask city ppl is not dat friendly now i believe. so i pay a dollar and grab myself a seat. When we reach our stop we dun even noe the bus driver is shock why every1 have alight we still sitting there...caused we nv see the big railway station so we thought have not reach..lolz so pai sae after dat we alight dan we walk to the railway station ... is like a 5-10min walk. the railway station was huge and well design it llok like a museum... well there is New world so i went in and grab some food . And a grab a Cabury chocolate drink for jan while i got myself a crossiant. When the coach arrived we was being shoot. Thanks to jan she took her own sweet time to go toilet and eat her dinner so we was late. Haiz alway ask her to hurry up is like i am talkin to a wall! Give up liao...
When we reach palmy it was alreadi about 11pm so it was frrezing cold! i walk so fast and at last the short distant seem to be like a 5Km walk ireach my motel. When i reach motel 1st thing was to drink a cup of hot drinks. Took my bath and text Louis to see whether Joe have boxes to ship back my stuff. They are really effective after 30min they are at my motel passing me the boxes. And they stay at my room for about 45min ...their internet connection at their new house is still not fixed.. so when i when to see the boxes i was like .... inside there is Rubbish!!! Woodstock bottle and empty coke bottle..so i was like asking joe wad is all this ' boxes' doing in this bigger boxes. lolz he took back all his 'boxes' and apologise wahaha...he sae it muz be MJ . Cause only MJ will throw rubbish inside. haha...dan i also pass him his lime juices he was so happy and in his clound 9..like a little boy..so cute. he acually shouted ' i love you!' i was like okie...and ask him to transfer the $$ to my a/c using his notebook.
I left Louis and joe in the living room while i when into my room to pack my luggage. Caused 2 more days i am leaving. It was so messy like after WW2 my clothes, shoes even lingeries was laying around . i was squarting down with my hair so messy Suddenly joe appeared in front of my room i shouted OMG! hopefully he nv see any he not suppose to see lolz.... he sae he was sorry for the rubbish and ask me to get it from Park and save for free boxes.
