The Train ride to Picton

When i first arrived in New Zealand, a friend told me that in NZ, every moment is a Kodak moment cos you can just take your camera & click randomly & every shot will be breathtaking. Well... i think he's right!

It Snowed in Christchurch!!

Believe it or not, the lil white specks are snowdrops!

It was really AWESOME to experience snow for the first time & I was so thrilled bout it texted everyone i could think off to tell them the exciting news!

Maori Performance

We actually went for a wildlife tour after the Maori performance to see kiwis but I didn't take any pics cos it was too cold n wet n dark.

The wall of the toilet which we took the picture in in the post below.

(if i'm not coherent, it's cos its 5.40am in the morning)

Peiying going crazy playing tikam tikam, trying to get Nightcrawler.

The view from the gondola tower.

Traipsing across Christchurch (Part 5)

Gondola Ride (it's just a cable car lah!)

Now which direction is Malaysia? & Singapore..

In the Gondola

Can you see the hole? It's a rabbit burrow.
Saw some rabbits being chased by a dog on our way up.
Never knew that rabbits could move so quickly.

Brr.. it's cold!

Taken in the toilet.. hehe..

Traipsing across Christchurch (Part 4)

Lyttelton
We visited this place which used to be a french community or somethin like that.

Didn't see anything that looked remotely french but it was fun anyway.

It has all these cool shops with funky names.

A bar which is supposedly Lyttelton's best kept secret. (at least that's what the sign says)

The Volcano Cafe which is right next to the Lava Bar.

This picture doesn't do Oliver justice.

In reality, he's huge! Looks more like a bear than a dog.

Yixian is tired from all that walkin.

Looks innocent enough doesn't it?

Well... it used to be a gaol!

Traipsing across Christchurch (Part 3)

Punting

This was probably my favourite part of the entire trip.

Floating slowly down a river as time passes me by,

totally unburdened & at ease.

Just drinking in the sights.

Peiying, Me & Yixian

hehe.. i like this shot! think i look nice. :P

Traipsing Across Christchurch (Part 2)

Touring the City

Yixian & I on a tram

Peiying & I

Fudge House!

It's like somethin outta Charlie & the Chocolate Factory.

Fudge, chocolate & all my favourite lollies.

Mine's the one with the *. Hot Chocolate!

Toilet Break!!

A whole building devoted to toilets! 3 storeys!

There's even a lift that brings you to the toilets upstairs!

A life-sized chess set.

I was quite surprised to see that people actually do stop to play during the day.

Traipsing across Christchurch

I've just returned from visiting an smu friend, Yixian, in Christchurch & am bound for Auckland tomorrow. It's already 3.41am & my bus leaves at 10 am so I shall keep this short.

The Bus Journey to Christchurch

This was taken from inside the bus window so its kinda unclear.

Taken during a rest stop.
