Birthday Celebration

:: South Island ::

-Picture took at one of the lake overseeing the mountains-

Really got no time to blog about the whole trip, so I shall first blogged about the South Island part. South Island, we first visited Christchuch, the catheral square, cashmere hills, the botanic garden, Avon River, museum ... that is for the first day... during the night, we try our luck at the Christchurch Casino, but hmm.. the casino boss luck is better than ours... ;)

Second day, we set off for queenstown.. and i liked the place most. The air there is good n fresh... peaceful. People in New Zealand is really good, friendly, helpful....!

On our way to Queenstown, we passed by ashberton..we visited mount cook national park, Lake Tapo, and hmmm cannot remember all though.. but i remember i see alot of mountains, lake and sheeps with no more clothing...meh meh... :)

We stayed three days in Queenstown, we tried jet boating and it's real fun and i really missed it. We spent a day travelling 12 hours journey to milford sound. but let me tell u.. the journey is all worth while. Along the way, the scenery u see, will keep u all awake. you get to see other than well trimmed pine trees, mountains, meh meh, moo moo, mirror lake, you get to see waterfall! not only one for many many many... and i saw rainbow, not once but twice. the day before we went milford sound, it rains, those we are lucky to see the multiple waterfall. the road to milford sound was actually closed for three days due to bad weather and we are lucky that the day we went, the road was open!!! and we get to see the beauty of nature... thank GOD!

Other than, milford sound a nice place we went and drank natural spring water. We joined the nomad safari tour the following day. We sat in a 4 wheel drive and go across hills, over rivers and we visited the places where Lord of the Rings movie scene was taken..it's a great experience. I love the life there ...

After a few days of fun in queenstown n christchuch, we set of to the north island, auckland from queenstown airport... i have not finished uploading my north island picture.

so please visit here to see some selected shots i took at the south island. let me know if you want to see more picture..I shall blogged again once my north island pics are ready. thank you for your patience.

:: New Zealand - South Island ::

Back from New Zealand and i am starting to blog ... but i think it will take some time though..

Starting from the first day... we met at the Changi International Airport, Singapore at 6pm and depart to Auckland by NZ82. After 10 hours of long flight finally we reached auckland but still have to quickly change a domestic flight to Christchurch.

After Reaching Christchuch, we went to Cathedral Square and we had our lunch there! after which we went to Cashmere Hills. See photos more details...

::September 11::

Life is like usual, wake up, go work, do work, after work, ...
I feel so life less today, is like a walking zombie...
I feel like a robot... with feeling or no feeling...i also dunno

I don't know what iam doing or i just doing what i am supposed to do...

1. What I have been thinking?
- Have been thinking what is the cause of me getting so depressed

- Have been thinking what about life and death

- Before we were born, the expiry date of our visitor pass here is already fixed

- If we were to know when is the expiry date, would it be better or worse


WHAT IF :-
- you are able to read people mind

WHAT IF :-
- you know what is happening around yet and need to pretend you know nothing

WHAT IF :-
- you see things which you shouldn't be seeing

WHAT IF :-
- you hear things which you not supposed to hear

WHAT IF :-
- you know something which you not supposed to know

would it be good or bad

2. What I have learnt?
After what happened on 11 sept 01. I am learning to appreciate people around me, especially my loves ones and ppl who i dislike.

But, i think i am withdrawing myself from human touch. COS It's painful to see my loves one or friends leaving before me. And i am really afraid of losing the one i loved. thus, if i don't be too involve in too many relationship, i would not be so upset so often?

It;s so confusing.

3. I am upset, I want to cry, but I got no tears...

Just wondering, why god put me to so much test.

-Mother of Nature-

Today is Mother's Day, let me wish all mothers a Happy Mother's Day!
Must be hard of them to carry a almost 10kg of water bag for ten months. They have to go thru hard labour pain for hours, and spent their precious time to see them grow each day, taking care of the child needs with tender love and care. That is how great our mums are! Just like the mother of nature, painting beautiful picture each day.

As the sunrise, is another new day, new hope.. see how the sun rise..

At first, it was dark and there of a glimps of light -hope


And the sky is bright, but where is the sun..? Before I can see the sun, I see light


Here comes the sun.. it's so gentle..


GOD's great love? It's so amazing, you see the heart shape?




Everything are very precious, once it's gone is gone, it will never be the same again.
Appreciates everything and everyone, and please don't take things or people for granted.
We have to learn to love everyone, just like god loves us even though we are all sinners. No one are perfect. Through God grace, we are given a chance to breathe and visit this earth, shall we make full use of our time here? Happy is a day, Angry will also be a day, choose to live a day which you won't regret.
