The BIG day is finally here! It's dear Xiao Wei and Ashley's ROM day! The night before was hen party at xiao wei's house and we stayed over at her place.
It still seems a bit unreal that my buddy is now married.
Congrats to the newly wed!!!

Presenting to you the pretty bride, Xiao Wei....


I realised I haven't introduced my dearest twin's bf yet! He's Louis and we all knew him since sec sch days. But it was only recently that the two of them got together. Hee. Sooo happy for them...



Looking handsome and lovely.....

Jamie's house-warming at night



We had BBQ and it was the most smoke-free and healthy bbq i've ever been to. To add on top of that, I was constantly being served throughout the night! My lovely uni tutorial mates have decided that I should stay away from the fire since I was wearing all white. =)
So all I did was eat and eat and eat... haa..


Jamie is the one in green....



Thanks for the wonderful dinner Jamie!

25 Feb 2007 (Sun)

It was another fun-filled day spent with my buddies.. Visited Zhenjun's house at noon, followed by majong at twinz place and crab dinner at night. It has always been nice going to jun's place because her parents are really sociable and sweet.
I love simple outing like this, enjoying my friends' company and laughing at our silly jokes.

Xiao wei with Power crab claw! Huge, juicy and spicy, slurp~





We all had a good laugh at this picture. Managed to capture Ashley's awkward expression! He told us beforehand to sing the bday song softly but evil us decided to sing it loudly not only once but twice, and he was caught off guard. Hahaa...

Happy Birthday Ashley! Thanks once again for the sumptuous dinner =)

Lazy me have decided to just blog about the highlights of the remaining tour in NZ.
Personally, I think NZ is a country that you should visit while you are still young and physically fit. There are simply too many exciting activities to experience and is the perfect destination for sports lover.
Of course, not forgetting all the amazing sceneries!
A country worth the visit in my opinion.

26 Nov 2006 (Franz Josef Glacier)

One of the incredible experience I had during the trip was the Glacier Hike at Franz Josef!
Though the hike was demanding, the feeling of standing at the top of the Glacier outweighed anything.

The glacier appeared dirty below, but as we climbed higher, it gets cleaner and cleaner..



One person crossing at a time only!

29 Nov 2006 (Queenstown)

We signed up for the shotover canyon swing! It's the world's highest swing, free fall of 60m! A platform has been built on the edge of a cliff 109m above the Shotover River and it was where we leaped off! There were over 10 different jumpstyles each interesting in its own way. Absolutely fun!


My jump, covered with a bin. The bin definitely increased the level of excitement and scariness for the jump because I had no idea where I was going, and before I knew it, I was screaming and falling down and down...


Twin's jump, backward style


Peishan's jump: sideway style


Highly recommended by our bus driver - Fergburger. It was HUGE and simply mouth-watering~

30 Nov 2006 (Queenstown)

We took the scenic gondola ride to the skyline to enjoy a panoramic view of queenstown. And guess what, it started to snow!! We were so surprised because it was spring time then, and supposed to be summer the very next day. The weather was erractic and the snowing ceased suddenly just like the way it started.


See the contrast!



Luge riding was exciting..

With over 200 pubs to choose from, you'll be spoiled for choices in Queenstown. Lucky us, we got free drinks everywhere we go!

1 Dec 2006 (One day trip to Milford Sound)

Milford Sound is one of the main tourist attraction in South Island. We were very lucky because it was a beautiful day that day. It was really amazing to see how mother nature can create so many incredible landscapes.




Milford Sound tour...


Complimentary coffee and tea onboard


I've never seen anything more beautiful than this...

2 Dec 2006 (Queenstown to Christchurch)




Breathtaking sceneries en route from Queenstown to Christchurch


Christchurch's landmark...


We pampered ourselves the last night at "Strawberry Fare Restaurant". The ambience was great and their desserts were superb! No wonder the restaurant was featured in the tourist brochure. Cheesecake, Tiramisu, Sticky date pudding, the ultimate chocolate dessert... Ahh~ The next time you are at Christchurch, do check out this place!
