- A lot of thoughts at this very moment..
Memories of the past few months flashing across in my mind...
Looking at my surrounding: the cupboard, the noticeboard, the window, the heater, the bed...
I want to capture all these in my brain and store them there forever..
Just had a heart-warming dinner with Patricia (our flatmate) and Terry... We cooked fried beehoon and broccoli, while Patricia prepared fruit salad for us... Our last time cooking together in this apartment..
Gave Terry once last hug before she left WSA.. I felt sad, really sad to see her leave... Please go to S'pore soon to visit us Terry... missing you...
It has been an amazing experience for the past few months...
I've learnt so much from the different people I met..
I've experience the different style of teaching in AUT..
I've loads of fun travelling around..
Thanks so much mummy, cause I know without you, twin and I won't be able to go for this overseas programme.. You're the one who made this possible...
It felt unreal when I was packing my luggages for this overseas programme...
It felt unreal again just now when I was packing my luggages to leave this apartment...
Tomorrow, setting off at 7:30am...
Won't be having internet connection for the next 3 weeks when i'm on the road...
The last 3 weeks here...
Treasuring every moment of it....
To my dear friends, all the best to your exams...
I will see you all in no time!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- In less than 24 hrs time, I'll be embarking the journey to the "Land of the long white clouds"...
We bought the Sheep Dog Pass from Kiwi Experience.
The journey will start in Auckland and finish in Christchurch (as shown on the map below).
The itineraries are as follow:
Auckland> Mercury Bay> Rotorua> Waitomo> Taupo> River Valley> Wellington> Nelson> Westport> Mahinapua> Franz Josef> Wanaka> Queenstown > Christchurch
The ones highlighted in Green are places in North Island, while the ones in Blue are places in South Island.. Will be taking a ferry to cross over from north to south..
3rd Dec will be our last day in NZ. Will be taking a domestic flight from Christchurch back to Auckland and from there change to SIA and fly back to S'pore!

- Just got home from Jessica's place.. I totally enjoyed myself at her place.. It was my very first time stepping into a local Kiwi's house.. Fang, twin and I were all very excited about the trip there.. Jessica has invited us over for dinner plus fireworks! Absolutely sweet of her....
I LOVE her house... It was rather big yet cosy at the same time... I can feel the close bond between the family members.. Jessica and her parents were definitely wonderful hosts... Her family has been to Singapore too, and they showed us the photos they took...
It was a ladies night together with other Jessica's friends... The food, desserts, ambience were great... I am so gonna miss Auckland... Thanks so much for the farewell Jessica! *touched*
Earlier in the afternoon, I went to Parnell Road... It was their Market day and there was also a rose show... I enjoyed exploring places on my own... With a mp3 player and a camera, I can simply walk the whole day on my own... Of course it would be great if twin and fang can join me, but they still have one last paper on monday...
Welcome to Parnell Market Day... Basically, Market Day means all the shops will set up tables outside their shops and sell items at discount..
Parnell Village
More views of Parnell...
Spring!
Auckland Public Library, Parnel Branch..
The Rose Show...
I was attracted to these white roses...
Roses floating in wine glasses and more roses...
The Bishops Office called the Neligan House...
Jessica's house...
The wall beside the kitchen is filled with postcards...
There were lots of photoframes around... The little girl in the picture is Jessica!
Toilet... The mirror and lighting make the place look like a makeup desk...
Jessica's room..I love it!! Vibrant colour... Felt so cosy and happy inside...
Very English style furnitures..
Before the dinner, we played Smoke Balls at the garden...
Smoke balls of different colours... An eye-opener for the three of us because we have never seen such things before... We lighted the ball first and then threw it onto the grass..
Twin took this while standing at the dining place...Fang and I were in the kitchen.. Jessica's mother told us that the little window was used to pass the food from the kitchen to the dining table faster...
The sumptuous spread... The host kept saying "help yourself to the food"!
Wooden table and chairs at the balcony...
Taking a tour down to the garage...
Cars in the garage....
Jessica's dad doing the BBQing...
There was no one's birthday... Jessica was saying the cake is meant as a farewell for us... So in the end, we blew the candles..lolx..
