  • Milford Sound

    We signed up for a coach package there (NZD$195.. which was RM500 per person! Madness!). All because the hotel receptionists in Queenstown warned us about the dangerous road and that they wouldn't drive on their own and something about snowchains. But guess what? IT WAS A PIECE OF CAKE! Most peop…

  • Queenstown

    This was my first time in a foreign country no doubt. I always wonder if it's the weather that makes people act how they act. Because it's cold out, everyone is in nice, warm, fuzzy mood and because it's sunny out, everybody is grumpy, sweaty and stressed out. People are friendlier and m…

  • Arrowtown

    The pendant I tweeted about right after I got it. I can't remember the last time I saw something and fell in love with it right away. The goldsmith was kind enough to throw in a small bottle of silver dust free for me. NZD$44 was a bit pricey for silver but I guess it's worth it, I love it s…

  • Wanaka - Puzzling World

    There was nothing much to do in Wanaka.. except for the Puzzling World I guess? The maze. Of course I didn't finish it. This is the crazy room. Cool place but most of the time when I'm in there it makes me super dizzy. Dad insisted me to take pict…

  • Lake Tekapo & Mt Cook

    Our trip around South Island involved many many hours of road trips. Hours after hours, days after days, mountains after mountains, rivers after rivers, gardens after gardens, towns after towns and sheeps after sheeps....... the air was so fresh, the views were breathtaking. But this. This lake…

  • Christchurch - Orana Wildlife Park & Air Force Museum

    Beautiful Sunday morning ~ We only managed to explore a few areas in Christchurch. Most of the areas were closed and roads were blocked due to the devastating earthquake. Along the roadsides hanged the banne…

  • House ahead

    Right after we got pulled over by an officer and got a ticket for exceeding speed limit, we hit back on the road and saw this: This is a serious house moving!

  • Crazy Baby Names Banned in New Zealand

    Some time ago, the country of New Zealand put out a ban on crazy baby names. Over one hundred names were rejected so far this year. At first I thought this was a bit insane. Parents should be able to name their kids what they want, right? Then I saw some selections from the list.

  • Richard Simmons Wants to Fly With You!

    Air New Zealand has made headlines in the past for their humorous attempts at the usually-mundane in-flight safety videos. There was the Bare Essentials of Safety and the All Blacks rugby team appearance. And in an unlikely pairing, rapper Snoop Dogg busted out some beats in a video with ANZ's co…

  • Today in the News

    Are we getting too desensitised to what we see on TV? Over the last couple of months, I have seen so much tragedy on TV that it seems to be becoming the norm. The days of not knowing what is going on and just getting thirty minutes of news a day, and not that comprehensive, is a thing of the past.…
