~*Travel months*~

It's been a crazy Nov 09 - Jan 10. I have lost so many hours in transit. I have been going in and out from the airport quite a number of times during these months, mostly for work purposes and some for leisure.


Speaking about leisure break... I have had a memorable visit back 'home' a.k.a Auckland, New Zealand. Home is so great, and it always have been. I just simply... fall in love again... with... home :)


We spent a week in the South Island, travelling round South and then all the way back up to North. Though it was supposed to be Summer, the tempreture was crazily low when we were at South.

Glenorchy is probably one of my favourite place in South Island. It is about 40mins away from Queenstown, whereas, you have to make a special drive to down there. Take the drive... you wont regret!

These flowers grow around the lake of Te Anau, it was so beautiful... the colours have brighten up my day!

More photos to come...

~The Aftermath*~

After months of rushing here and there, it's time to slow down and seek for directions. I am the kind of person who always go back to the basic when things have started to turn blurry and complicated. As we have started from the fundamental of a purpose or a goal, so our actions and decisions that we have made served the foundations towards to goal that we are heading to.

In a lot of times, we have lost our directions due to external and internal factors hence making us all confused and might be making us starting going through a different track. Not necessary to be the wrong track, but different track. So, when this happens, it's time to go back to the basic.

However, the aftermath of all the movings; cleaning; packing; wedding and touring. I have started to feel just a liiiitle bit of demotivated. It may just means that I need some rest.

IF... only IF I get to choose where to go, this will be the place:

Shangari La Rasa Ria Resort

It is really a place to be... why?



This is the wedding pavillion, it is so beautiful that I even said I will have my wedding ceremony here. lol...

I would love to stay here and just enjoy the sun with some cold drinks on my hand for the afternoon and put my feet up... such a divine sensation.


Last but not least of course the Cost Bar and Restaurant.

~*Sydney Trip 08*~

Awesome trip at Sydney, this is my third time visit SYD and first time with my close friends.

On the early hours of 5th Sep, we got to get up at 3:30am and get ourselves ready to go to the airport...
Four excited and yet kind of tired people.. got in the plane and 2hr 30mins later, we arrived in SYD! yay!! That's when our journey started...well.. our eating and drinking journey... lol

Transport from Airport to city central (we stayed at Hyde Park Plaza) are very convenient, took the train and took us less than 30mins to get there. Our apartment unit was not ready.... so we dragged our tired body and have our coffee at the nearby Gloria Jeans.

At 10:30am, our room KINDA ready but we can check in. After our bags are all put in the room, we went to yum cha and Paddy's Market at China Town.
Therefore, Hightlights of the trip:

Just in case you wonder: "why yum cha in SYD?" That's because they have a wider range of food and also fresh prawns... everything is fresh...

Old Vienna Coffee House...QVB
Not sure if it's a must go place, but it's the nicest hazelnut merique that I have tried.

Nick's Seafood Restaurant, Darling Harbour
Not the freshest seafood that I have taste, but the cray fish is definitely BIG!

The wet weather, both umbrellas were considered the best buy of the trip! :)

Inner Group *spotted* at Bondi (part of Inner_group actually)

Ok... getting a bit silly there...

Löwenbräu beer at The Rocks
I love their idea of 300ML; 500ML and 1L of beer... mmmm~~~

These sushi are such a devine.. definitely a "to-die-for"... also by now, my eyes bags are getting heavier... darker eye circles....

4 days of eating and drinking.... excessive walking... we were all way too tired.
Sat on the chair waiting for our flight to come back home!!
