ou now isn't that beautiful? Everywhere you go in queenstown, something as lovely and breathtaking as that surrounds you.
I absolutely LOVE that place. I didn't wanna go home. I wanted to migrate there and I was serious abt it. You know like how I always talk about migrating to oz? I changed my mind. Now I wanna migrate to nz. Queenstown to be exact cos everywhere else is not as nice! Seriously.
My dad says maybe I can take my postgrad studies there. But the nearest uni there is like in Dunedin which is ard 2+ hours drive away! Uni of central otago. I don't want! Then my dad said you’ve driven 6 hours straight. What's 2 hours? Bluek. It's far ok?
And he joked that maybe we could grow garlic there.. you know.. be garlic farmers. Hahaha.. cos it's hell expensive there(just about everything is hell expensive there btw). $14 per kg. And I told him maybe we can rear sheep(like a lot of pple there)! Then export to sg for korban. He could like liase with his air freight/sea cargo friends for that. And he asked, "you wanna jaga kambing?" and then I realized.. maybe not. I'm scared of anything that moves can! Hehe..
Ok back to nz. It was simply gorgeous! I fell in love with it. And it's jam-packed with activities to boot! Of course the only "thrilling" things I got to do were the shotover jet($99) and canyon swing($139). Didn't bungy($80-200+). Didn't paraglide($189). Didn't skydive($200-500). Didn't go white-water rafting($?), caving($?), hot-air ballooning($240). Boooo.. they costed a bomb. Which is why I pledge to save me a whole lot of money and go there again without my parents and do all these things without anyone objecting. I wanna ski too!
N the only reason (Diana &) I got to do the canyon swing was that I persuaded my parents non-stop and told them I'd pay for it myself. And I just pushed my way through us going for the shotover jet. And everybody(including my mom) had fun cos noone complained and I could hear my mom&dad screaming all the way. Hahaa..
Yes I drove there. A whole lot cos everything's so far there. It was ok for the most part. The part where my family's asleep. Haha.. cos then nobody made noise and I could drive in peace. When they're awake.. oh my gosh.. "wah so long ah? Biler nak sampai?", "eh! Eh! Slow down fiza!", "fiza!", "eh so close to the railing!" and so on.. damn frustrating lor. You want close? I give you close next time! But fara and ayah's the best cos they didn't say anything. Hehehe.. the drivers there are racers lor btw. Speed limit's 100 but on straight roads, they went above 100 which is fine lah cos it's straight. But on some super winding roads, the limit's still 100! Gosh.. I went 70 and I thought I was initial d-ing redi! Haha.. oh at 70, I was hogging btw. crazy ass drivers!
It was really cold at QT too. We left there on the second day of winter and the night before was -2 degrees lah! Max during the day is 6 degrees. We get really short days too. 8 o'clock there is like 6+ almost 7 here? N it gets dark at ard 5. I was reaaally reaaallly sad the morning we left QT. I was sulking all morning. *pouts*
Ok photo time! There'll be a whole lot so brace yourselves! I only wish I can put them all!
