Day 15

Last day in lowburn
Missing the weather, sunbath, hammock, chickens, ann & all the neighbours
Queenstown for my last minute shoppings
Hoping to find something but in vain
Bought 2tops at glassons
Loves & cheaps!
Chinese restaurant for lunch
Sped to airport for departure
Can tell my aunt cant bear to see me leave
Still insist that wanna hurry send me and ensure I've gotten up the plane to relieve her from all the stress & my nonsense
Flight to sydney delayed a lil
And when reached sydney airport
Was already being paged to get on the bungy car thingy
Was requested to take the business seat of the car
With high speed to the gate
Watching Marley&me on the plane
Teared and cried
Hope my neighbour din notice me keep sniffing
Relatives came to pick me up at airport
And as expected,
my uncle did up a mini-signage writing my name
KA came
Bit expected but thanks!
Headed supper together
Was pretty energetic after shower
Chat online till late
Besides missing parents & siblings,
it wld be local food
Just dono why, how comes
But its just so!
Guess I've learnt many things during this trip
Challenges
Experiences
Memories
Perseverance
Determination
Learning to be tough & strong
"When the going gets tough ...
... the tough gets going "

Day 14

Spitting entire day
Grabbed crap apples from the garden and,
did some writings for colleagues
Went over ann's garden to pick some tomatoes for the winter
Out for coffee at cafe6 and collect water from the tank
Which is wad they alw gotta do once they run outta
I found it fun instead of a chore
Cos I only gonna do it once =)
Packed my stuffs and off to bed ...

Day 13

Cycling at lauder
Spitting soon,
but din hinder our journey thou
Short cycling trip
The road used to be a railway track
Now its a road trail for cyclists
Rocky road

There's 2 tunnels which we gotta bypass during the journey
1 in total pitch dark
And another short one
I thought Im braved enuf to cycle tru it but useless me,
gave up at the start if the tunnel as soon as I disappear in the dark
You cant see your own fingers,
needless say the path ahead
Just got to ride straight base on instincts
I bumped into the wall and scratched myself
Im halfway the tunnel
So jus gotta carry on
Go with my feel
Brave tru the short tunnel
Finished our ride

Off to postie+
Bought 2 bikinis
As its summer sales
Less then 10bucks for both sets
Newworld for groccery shoppings
The guys there are better lookin and a wider range compared to the one at cromwell
Next to centralotagowastebustersinc
Its a recycling center
(kara guni)
Bininn for another groccery trip
Some sort like a provision shop
Down to a bigger mall - carrefour
So tempted to get myself nintendodslite & Wii

Homes for tea
Pick & pluck from the garden

Toast for supper and,
Zzz

Day 12

Did my hair at tumeke
Service is great
But my hair color seems the same
Wanna stop he hair dresser after she has bleech my hair cos I prefer the color,
but aint nice
Carried on
Managed to cover up the shity highlights which I've gotten previously
So not that bad afterall
Cheap too!
$10 lunch at thai crom
Padthai

Short sweet day
Baked egg tarts in the evening
In the garden...

Picking some seeds and walnuts for colleagues

Dark clouds crowding
Hope wont afect our cycling tmr!
Awaits ...

Day 11

Water pipe down,
means indoor
Intensive sunbath today
Icecreams in the sun

Drove down to wanaka for my slippers,
but say to say,
its closed for the day
Shop closes early
Thai.tako for dinner
Thumbs up for their seafoodtomkar
Been missing it terribly
Up to cardrona for irish concert

Ticket given by ann as lorri is still in the hospital
Martin.Curtis songs are fantastic
Local popular singer
He began with his songs as the band was late
Its all instruments
Ended at 1030pm
Late!
Dozed off in the car
Yawns =(

Day 10

Vineyard
Came to and end
Really enjoyed myself and grow along
And thankful dat ann allows me to work in her vineyard

Homes and outta soon to cromwell
Some picturing and grocery shopping and shoppings

Its Otoga day
Hence, most shops are closed
After the last snap, I ran bare-footed and something got into my foot
Damm fcuking pain
Yells & screams to releive the unbearables

Roasted chicken in the garden
As its too late to drive down to the lake
What can be better den:
Soaking in the sun,
having a glass of orange jucie,
and with your might,
pull the meat off,
with the oils flying everywhere
YUMS!
Its the best ever

Fillet & sausage for dinner
Turning in soon and,
looking forward to tmr =)

Day 9

Every morning is wakie at a temperature of 0degrees
Air froze
Tramping at remarkables - ski area
Rocky terrain
Its still summer time, hence, no snow
Patches & puddles of it here and there
Approx. 1/2hr up the slope to begin the journey
Is overly cold and Im freezing
Fingers and toes are literally frozen
But I know as I moved on,
heat will be generated
So, no fear!
Looked down and all you see is either lake or more rocks
No chance,
neither choice to retreat,
but to move on

One word to summarise my climb,
DISAPPOINTED
I completed 3/4 of the climb and gave up the rest upon seeing the dangling cliff
I shld have persevered on
Total loser, utterly upset
Im so determined to finish
Din expect myself to give up so easily
Was in the cold wind while waiting for them to return from the peak
Its below 10degrees and am in shorts
They din reached the peak as they weren't well-equipped
Enjoyed the climb excluding the disappointments
Another experience collected
This is definitely far more challenging - no proper pavement
Shopping at queenstown

Its a chop chop one again
Bit upset as I ask aunt to pay and even check with her if done so
Well, no souveirs for all!
Korean cusine at o.connell

Delicious & good service
Mac ice-cream at only 50cents NZD
Back homes and its freezing cold
Nites =)
