Memoirs of Kiwi Land

You name it she has it all- peace and tranquility, natural wonders, cleand and green, cows(more than the population of singapore), overflowing of milk and honey and not forget KIWI! Well this applies only to the beautiful countryside.

On the contrary, the urban areas differ very much from the countryside. The urban junkies are moslty a hella nightmare as compared to the angelic country folks. First time in my life, i got verbally abused for my skin colour while walking nonchanlantly on the street! Auckland is beautiful with clean and almost litter-free streets. The night life is vibrant and colourful. Exceot that the locals are horrible. The night street of Auckland is eceptionally dangerous for an Asian to be travelling alone. So it would be better for you to travel in a group of at least 4 or more.

On my last day at Auckland, we went around the city aimlessly, not knowing what to expect but only to discover the ugly reality of this world- racism is still an imminent problem in this world and especially prevalent in our dear kiwi land.Wel i shall leave this issue at it is now. Thank God everything was alright.

This NZ trip is indefinitely an eye-opening experience to me. For the past 2 weeks, we had been fed with beef and more beef. Every morning,noon or night, you will hear " Beef or lamb/chicken/fish." from the amiable server at the counter. Not being alamb eater, i had had beef for most of the time, as poultry is rare. The fish and chips served are great! Every meals will be accompanied with an endless supply of milk and toasts.Kiwi land is truely a haven for milk lovers- i never drank so much milk in my whole life!

Honey there is cheap.I bought back a dozen as gifts for family anf relatives. I bought many shirts and key chains too and i spent NZ 420 dollars in totAL!

Pardon me for i cannot blog about any things reagarding the exercise. But i can always share wiht you the photos and the picturesque view of New Zealand, which are certainly an awesome sight to behold! Overall, EX Thunder Warriors 2009 was a huge success! Tehre were zero accidents and everyone came back fully and have a whole new experinces added into their life. Thank God that i ams till alive@! Now i think we have become better friends, working partners and a battalion that people wil remember.

Now i am missing the cooling weather, the endless supply of milk, the scenic countryside, the friendly country folks, the peace and tranquility back at waioru..... and of coz i miss kiwi!

Till then shall blog more!

MOments and thoughts before TW 09

Now my room is in such a big mess. I wanted so much to clear up the mess, throw away unwanted stuffs but i do not have the heart to do it. It is in a total mess, feeling to disgraced to show your pictures of my room in its horrendous. I feel like i living in a pig sty and so it is time to do something about it lest i get sick. So i make up my mind, before i leave for New Zealand, i should give my room a one time good one spring cleaning!

So i should Begin with.....

1. choosing the extra and useless things to throw or give away.

2. putting things back to their original place

3. clearing up the piles of bags and clothes

4. rearrange the beds and cupboards in my room

I believe this will male my room a more conducive and comfortable place for resting and definitely solve the problems of mossies (the most hated creatures on Earth) breeding in my room.

It's exactly 30 hrs and 48 mins before i depart for New Zealand tomorrow. I am feeling so excited over this trip. Wow i cant wait to take pics of kiwi, cows, horses, sheep and the picturesque scenery view of the landscape there. I wonder how it would be liked to be there. I am sure the air there is fresher than here a 100 times. But i am also figuring out how can i survive the air con temperature of the climate there. So many
ne part of me is so excited to go there, another part of me don
t want to go.... oh might as well tear me apart man! Whatever it is, i pray i will be back in one piece and join my family for reunion dinner.

Dear God, i pray that everything will go on smoothly fromt te time we departed from Singapore all the way to the exercise end. May your protections and blessings be upon every single one of us during the trip. Let there not be any mishaps happen. But i pray every single one of us will come back alive and in one full piece to join our family for reunion dinner. In Jesus' name i pray Amen!

Still then, i will upload lots of pictures of cows, horses, kiwi and the beautiful scenery of New Zealand~!
