SATURDAY 19-12-2009

Today is the day Sam and I celebrated our birthday on a Latino Dinner Cruise around Darling Harbour. There was so much traffic going up to the city. We were fully stressed about not arriving on time. We were pretty much running from our cars to the Wharf. I almost missed it. Everyone (Sam, Jenny, Xuan, Jacob, Huy,Tania, Caroline, Jack and myself) made it on the cruise but Julie Bui just missed it so she had to catch a water taxi out.

The entertainment was great and food was pretty average too. Music was good and we had so much fun dancing. After the cruise ended at 11.30pm we decided to go to Lindt Cafe for a drink and chat abit. It was such a great night. Thanks to all who came to celebrate our birthday.

Tuesday 15.12.09

Today is our last day in New Zealand. We slept in abit then got up to do the rest of our packing before we checked out.

I thought i lost my wallet and was going crazy looking for it. But when i went to the Reception they had it with them. Apparently the taxi from last night dropped it off because i dropped it in the taxi. What a nice taxi driver he was. We did tip him $5 before we left.

Sam and I then headed out to city centre and grab lunch and browse around. Not really much to do in Christchurch now. We got bored so decided to go see the aquarium and Kiwi birds. By that time was time to catch our shuttle bus to the airport.

We finally got on the plane. Bye Bye New Zealand! and 3 hours later landed in Sydney.
It was pretty warm compared to New Zealand. From wearing a Jacket to without a Jacket. HOME SWEET HOME!!!!!!!!!!! My parents came and picked us up. Was happy to see them.

Monday 14.12.09

Sam and I decided to get up just before 7am so we could meet the Contiki people again for the last time before they fly back home. We already had plans to have breakfast with Pav and Tan.
It was great just to sit around and chat but sad at the same time.

Sam, Rachel and I met Pav and Tan at their hotel. We then made our way to the city centre and got lunch. Rachel wanted Sushi so we got food from there. After that we did some souvenir shopping and also bumping into contiki people constantly. Afterwards we had to say bye to Rachel as it was time for her to go to the airport to go back to Sydney. But we said we will definitely meet up when we are back.

Sam and I continued doing our shopping and browsing around. We walked passed Cook 'n' with gas and thought why don't we see if there is any booking tonight. Surprisingly they did have some availability so i called Tan and Pav and asked them if they would like to joined us. I was happy that they did joined us. They are a great and funny couple. We had alot of laughing going on and then at the end of the dinner and catching a Taxi back to our hotel we had to say our goodbyes and go our own separate ways. Hopefully one day we will be able to meet again.

Sunday 13.12.09

I got up at 4am to leave at 4.30am to see the Sunrise with Sam. It was sooo cold and windy. But i would say it was worth the wait and getting up. After that we just crashed in the lounge room were i kind of dosed off about 6am. At 7am i decided to go back to my room to make sure my luggage was packed and then headed back out for breakfast.

There was also an option to go on a spectacular glacier flight over Mt cook but unfortunately it was cancelled due to bad weather.

So we were on the move again and headed on the bus again through MacKenzie Country, home to the sheep industry to christchuch.

When we arrived to Christchurch Contiki organised a local dinner at Lone Star for our final night. Everyone pretty much attended but some couldn't as they had a flight to catch. After that we crashed a local pub as usual and grabbed a drink and chatted. Then we had to say our farewells. Everyone was sad that it had ended so soon. We have had such a wonderful time with Contiki people and everyone got along with each other.

Saturday 12.12.09

In the morning we had breakfast on the cruise before heading back to mainland. We travel past Lake Te Anau and the Clutha River to Arrowtown. It was a very small town. Then we headed to the Southern Alps to our lodge at Lake Ohau which affords view over Australasia's tallest peak, Mt Cook. The drive was a long 9 hrs drive. Omg, it was so long and i'm sure everyone had a snooze atleast one time while we were on the bus.

When we arrived to our lodge my room had the best view. It was amazing. We all had dinner together with Contiki and at night there was a Toga party which i didn't attend to because i wasn't feeling to well.
_______________________________________________________________
Friday 11.12.09

We all had to get up early in the morning to get everything packed and ready because we were on the move to Milford Sound. We had breakfast at the restaurant at the lodge and made our way onto the bus to get ready to be on the move again

First we went to Kawarau River for those people that wanted to do Bungy Jump and then picked up micheal from Sky diving. After that we made our way towards Fiordland National Park where he went through the Homer Tunnel again for the first view of Mitre Peak and Milford Sound. We finally arrived to Milford Sound on an overnight cruise.

Some people and my friends did the Kayak which i wish i could do but i couldn't because i injured my thumb he day before.

After we had dinner some people did their own things. Some went to sleep, read a book and some play board games. We were playing Monopoly which was so much fun. We were all tired so had early night at 10.30am.
______________________________________________________________

Thursday 10.12.09

We had to get up at 6am for breakfast because we had to be at the station for the Shotover Jet. Sadly it was cancelled on us again so we re-booked it for 11am. There isn't much to do at that time. So we just sat around abit and walked around and headed to Queenstown Garden which there wasn't much there. We then got bored so headed to an internet cafe to used the net for abit. Then it was time for our Shotover jet but guess what? It was cancelled on us again. That was three times. Sigh! Oh well! So we really didn't know what to do. We thought of going back to our hotel but though nah, we then had to head back out. So we checked out the info centre. We then though we should go up to the Gondola for the Luge. It was alright i guess. Something to pass time.

We then went to Fergburger for lunch. Burger was great there but massive. Could never finished it. After lunch we headed over to Nomad Safari for Quad Biking. When we got there they went through safety and gave us jackets, pants, helmets and boots. Then they went through how to operate the bike and train us abit so we could get the hang of it. After we were down there was a track we could go up. Within 30 mins i lost control, crashed and injured my thumb. They had to call the manager from the office to come pick me up to take me to a medical centre. During that time Dave Bandage my hand and filled in the Accident form.

When i got to the medical centre i had to get an X-Ray done. Dr said there was no fracture but said it didn't look good. So she had to put a splint on my hand. Which means i can't used it or get it wet. Yes, i was in pain. But luckily it was my last night in Queenstown.

As i got back to the hotel and barely out of the taxi i was immediately question by some contiki people what happen to my hand. Then went bumped into Pav and Tan and asked them what their plans were for tonight and they asked if we would like to join them at The beef eater restaurant. Food was great and we had a great dinner. After dinner we walked around town and bumped into Outi which she ended up with us for the rest of the night. After a nice long walk and chatting around we headed home to bed.

Wednesday 09.12.09

Sam, Racheal, Anita and I met at the reception to go and grabbed lunch. Sam and I was meant to do the Twin Challenge which consist of 40 mins of Jet Boat ride with 360's and fast corners plus white water rafting on the Shotover River but the Jet Boat was cancelled because of the the weather and water levels. So we only went on the Water Rafting but on the Kawarau river instead of the Shotover river. It was so much fun. I almost feel of the Raft but luckily i didn't

When we got back to the hotel we still had time to relax abit before we headed down to the restaurant to lodge for a buffet dinner. Food was alright but the view was stunning. Omg, it was like the best i've seen. Then Contiki all headed out for a night out. We first went to the minus 5 bar which we had vodka in a ice glass and ice sculpture. We were only allowed in there for 30 minutes but it was great. And then went to a pub to wait up for the other half of our group. Sam and I walked out of the pub for like 2 mins and came back to the pub to find that our group had disappeared. Hmm.. we wondered where they went. Probably to crash another club. hehe! So, sam and I browsed around and the headed back to our lodge.
______________________________________________________________
Tuesday 08.12.09

We had and early start for the morning. Took our luggage out and waited for Breakfast. The staff there was late and didn't know breakfast was at 6.30am instead of 7am so they were rushing with everything.

Then we headed to do our own activities. Sam and I did the Glacier Hike 'Fox Trot'. Its a 4 hours trek to the terminal face of the glacier and then we get to climb up to the glacier itself. I felt sick on the bus after breakfast. I seriously had a bad stomach ache. Everyone though i shouldn't go on the hike but i really wanted to. Last minute i decided to take my chanced and go ahead with it. I'm glad i went because i would of hated myself forever for not going. It was so nice and beautiful up there. Because we were running a little behind we had to rush back to grab something quick to eat. I was starving and my feet was killing me.

After that we all hoped on the bus and then went through Haast Pass to Queenstown to our lodge at Aspen Queenstown. We went to our lodge and relax, unpack, had a shower and got ready for the Skyline Restaurant. It was wonderful to see everyone all nice and dressed up.

The view from the Skyline Restaurant was amazing and food was great. We all had a great time. After that we walked down to the Buffalo Bar for abit of fun and a few drinks then went back to our lodge and dozed off.

Then we headed to our destination Franz Josef Glacier to our lodge Rainforest retreat. When we got there we headed out to the shops to get some snacks for the following day. Then we had dinner at the restaurant there. I must say the food wasn't great at all. After dinner there was bingo so Sam and I stayed for it. Was fun! Then we went or separate ways to our lodge.

SUNDAY 06.12.09

We got up about 7am to get ready and head out to the City Centre again and headed to Denneys 24 hrs restaurant for Breakfast. It was alright but i had better. Then we went for a stroll back to the Cathedral square for information at the info centre. Betty and Richard wanted to go bike riding. Sam and I wanted to do the Grand Tour which is Tram, Gondola and Punting. But because they didn't want to do all of it we only choose Tram and Gondola. Their bike riding was cancelled due to some parade.

We caught the bus to the Gondola which we went up on. The view was really nice. Then we made our way down the track. It was really steep and the gravel was loose. I slip several times and i have 4 scratches on my leg. Betty and Richard went ahead of us so we met up with them when we finished.

We went back to the City Centre where Betty said to me she wasn't hungry and didn't have lunch when she did. I was the one that haven't eaten but wasn't hungry for some reason. So Betty and Richard decided to go into a sushi place to eat and we waited outside for them. 40 minutes later we went to look for them inside the restaurant but they weren't there. I was thinking wtf? where they go? and they didn't even bother to tell us? Arrg! Yes, i was angry. They knew we were waiting for them outside and didn't even other to let us know. By now we got the point that they wanted to be left alone but they could of just told us.

We went back to our hotel and at 6.30pm we met up with all the contiki people and tour manager. Then we had dinner with them afterwards which was great way to get to know some people and was fun. Sadly Betty and Richard didn't come to join which i don't know why. I would say they missed out. After that went home and slept

Sam and I went to a friends place at Sefton to help him to move his things to his new place in Bankstown. There was 7 people all together to help him move which makes it much more quicker. His new place is so big and nice. So spacious. After unloading everything it was about 12.30pm so we went to have lunch and he shouted us lunch. Food was really good. Probably because we were hungry.

After we went back to my house to get my mobile because i left it at home. I had 2 missed calls and a message. Called Tania to see if she was home but she wasn't so i told her to call me when she was.

Sam and I went to Parramatta Wesftfield to pick up his lens that he layby. Also to go get out Itinery for NZ but they were closed. Oh well! Then Tania called me telling me she was home so i pop by her place to pick up the deposit money for the skirmish.

We went back to my place and sat down on the laptop for abit. Sam was bored and wanted me to check if there was any good movies on at the cinema. We decided to watch Drag me to hell at Reading cinema in Auburn and called Jack last minute to see if he wanted t come along. We went to pick up Jack and headed over the the cinema.

After swimming went back to Sam's place for dinner. And my eyes was stinging so bad. My arms started to feel abit aching too. I would like this to be a regular thing whether its hot or cold. It doesn't matter.

_________________________________________________________________

We arrived to Betty's house about 6.30pm with Richard and Ann already there. There was shapes with cheese and garlic bread for entree, vegetarian pasta and Chai tea and biscottini for dessert. It was yummy. After dinner just sat around talking abt watchin TV. Great way to stay in during winter.

SUNDAY 28.06.2009

Spent a tiring day at work because of the late night i had the night before. Sam came to visit me at work when we were about to closed up.
Went home and had a shower then went to do some grocery shopping at Coles, back to sam's place to have dinner (BBQ Chicken and fried rice), went to his sisters house and visit Betty at her place. The previous day we went to the PMA imaging technology at the Exhibition Centre in Darling Harbour. We got Betty a Lenspen which you use to clean your camera lens. And she was so excited hehe! Its great to catch up on a cold night like this. After leaving went back to Sam's to pick up my foods and went home.

___________________________________________________________________

SATURDAY 27.062009

Our plan was to meet up with Jack, Sam and Huy at my place at 11am to go to the city for the PMA imaging technology exhibition. After i picked up Jack to go to my place Sam told me that Huy wasn't able to make it so i guess it was just us 3.

We drove to darlinghurst to have lunch at a Japanese Restaurant Benbu that we had last time with Betty and Richard. Food was good and filling. After that we drove to darling harbour for the exhibition. It was great. I never seen so many cameras in my live and they were massive. I saw the most enormous reflector. I was like WOW! Sam was going around getting all the books and phamlets. lol! We also bought ourselves a lenspen which is used to clean the camera lens.
After that headed back to the area to my house for like 10 mins then to Sam's place then dropped Jack off before we went to a friends birthday. Overall it was a great day out. Got to catch up with Jack because it has been awhile sinced we went out with him.

After dropping Jack at home we arrived to Tania's place with the greeting of Tania saying "JULIEEEEEE AND SAAAM". We arrived there at 7.30pm and i think we were like the last ones. It was only a small group of friends. Food was ready so we ate, drink and talk. After that we went downstairs for Karina (Tania's sister) band performing for her for her birthday. It was great. Then play pinata. lol! Sam was the first one up and it was so funny because he kept missing it and it look like he was playing Star Wars. Up next was me and i someone knocked the tail of the pony and then it was Daniel he killed the leg and all the lollies fell out.
After that we went back up to get ready for singstar. We got ourselves in 2 groups of 3's. Blue team was Me, Sam and Peter and the Red team was Tania, Caroline and Daniel. It was so much fun but unfortunately the Blue team lost. At midnight we finally cut the cake and had a piece each and open the presents and then cleaned up. That was pretty much the end of the night and it was 1am. Was fun but tiring.

______________________________________________________________

FRIDAY 26.06.2009

I was watching Tv downstairs about Michael Jackson just died. Its sad because his songs are sooo good. At 9.30am got a surprised "Ding Dong". Hmm.. I wonder who it could be. Everyone was at work and telemarketers don't come at this time. So i looked at the video screen and saw it was Sam. I was thinking.. what is he doing here. So i went to open the door. Apparently he slept in and couldn't bother go to work so he decided to come over. We went to Parramatta shops. I had no idea what we were doing there. But i think we both bought a few random things.
I told Sam about this cheap place in Sefton that sells washing machine. So after parra we went there to have a look but they were closed. He tried calling them but no answer. So we though we go back home and go bike riding at 3pm. Half way home the guy called Sam so we arranged a time to go back there. Sam like the waching machine so he bought it. It was late so couldn't go bike riding. Decided to go back my place for dinner.

WATER DROPLET PHOTOGRAPHY

Last night Betty and Richard came over to Sam's house again to test out taking photos of water droplets. It's for a project Betty is doing for her blog i think. There was 3 SLR cameras there and 3 of them was testing it with their cameras and lens.
hmm... i found it boring thats why i fell asleep on the floor. haha! Didn't even know when they went home.

CATCHING UP

Had Betty, Richard and Huy over Sam's place yesterday for a good catch up. Huy didn't stay for long though because he had to go somewhere but it was nice of him to drop by.

Betty and Richard brought some pizzas over for dinner and i made some salads. They also got him a wine rack with 4 bottles of wine. Sam was like Wow, didn't expect it. Sam was thinking of getting a wine rack sooner or later. Huy got sam a set of 6 cups. They were nice. Thanks guys for getting Sam those gifts. He really appreciate it =).

After stuffing ourselves with pizzas we were so full so we went into Sam's room to relax abit and look at some photos from a few months back. They were sooo funny. hehehe! I love taking photos because they are such good memories and you can always look back and laugh a them. hehe!

Abit later during the night we had Scones i made at home earlier with Strawberry Jam, Butter and Philladelphia cream cheese with Chamomile tea. YUM!

Betty forgot her Kiwi Tarts from home so she felt really bad and went and get it when taking me home. They are yummy. But abit too sweet for me. Thanks Betty!

Overall the night was good and relaxing. Especially when it gets to winter and its cold it just good to sit back and unwind and just chat about anything. We shall do this again sometime soon!

Richard, Betty, Me and Sam at Sam's place. This is my boyfriend Sam in the 60's with the afro hair lol!

ITS BEEN AWHILE

WOW! I didn't realised it has been this long sinced i blogged. Been a month. Life has been so busy that i haven't even had time to go on the computer or to even think about it. I'm at my boyfriend's place at the moment so i though i will do a quick blog. I will make a quick sum up of what has been happening.

This is what i have been up to in the past month:

• working
• going to the Travel agent
• helping Sam move things (this is pretty much the main reason why i been so busy)
• Catching up with Betty and Richard
• Annie's (Betty's sister) birthday party
• Stand up comedy show with Sam, Jacob, Michael, Huy and his sister Thu
• Shopping
• Sam's nephew's party
• Movies - Terminator (mad actions)

Pretty much Sam and I have been in our own world lately that we haven't really been seeing our friends lately but very soon will be back to normal. I miss you guys and your company.

This long weekend has been such a nice weather. Nice blue skies. Didn't really get up to much though.The long weekend is ending so back to work tomorrow =( Oh yeah, forgot to mention that i finally received my new uniform for work. Its red. I don't really like the colour though.

I have been abit sick lately but nothing really bad. I'm still fine. Just hope i don't get any worst.

I will try to update my post more often if i remember and i will also try to post up some photos.

Omg, I haven't blogged for awhile. I think about 2 weeks now and i don't remember what i got up to 2 weeks ago. But i will try my best.

Sam and I went to the travel agent to get a quote for the trip. I'm going to get an email from them tomorrow. I hope we can book the tickets this Saturday. Im excited.

Got an email from Ann today saying that she is pulling out from the trip. So it will be 5 of us instead of 6 .

We bumped into Xuan and Jenny at Parra Wesfield and talked for awhile then headed home.

_____________________________________________________________________

WEDNESDAY 06.05.2009

Shit! I'm so frustrated with the planning for the trip. Can't seem to get everyone to meet up for the meeting. I guess everyone's lives are too busy and its hard to fit everyone in at the same time. I guess i would just have to do it through emails.

Sam ride his bike to my house and it was dark by the time he arrived. We had dinner at my place and i had to take him home. Even though he said he will ride home i wouldn't let him. Its dark and dangerous.

Betty had a day off today so she knew i wasn't working and asked me if i wanted to go bike riding in her area. Of course i said yes. hehe! So i woke up at 7.30am, got changed and packed my bike into my car. I arrived to Betty's house at 8.30am and she made breakfast for us (omlette with tomotoes and fetta). Was yumm. So, we started riding about 9.10am. Went to Endensor Plaza to post Betty's letters but silly Betty forgot to put a postage stamp on it so i waited for her to go in and buy it. Next was Bonnyrigg Plaza to develops some photos and the off to 2 of her friend's house.
After that went back to pick up the photos in Bonnyrigg Plaza and then to St Johns Park for hot chips. After that headed back to Betty's place to rest for abit. Also Betty gave me and Sam some cupcakes she made. Thanks Betty.

We took 3 hrs all up but only rided 1hr and 45 mins and did 15km. Not bad i must say. It was good and i really enjoyed it.

After bike riding i went home and had a shower and met up with Jack for a quick catch up. We were just talking about our Trip. Went around to several travel agents and i think we got the best package. Omg, i so cant wait.

At night Sam came over and we went to meet at Julie Ly's place and went o Leichardt for some coffee and then home.

I invited Betty and Richard over my house for some home cook dinner and relaxing around.
I made Salmon pasta for them which was almost finished.
Betty brought her Fondue over so we had that after dinner with banana, strawberry and mashmellows. YUM!

Woke up early to get ready to go to Richard's house to mee up for the Coogee - Bondi Walk.

Then we made our way to Coogee for the walk. 7km one way so we did 14km because we walk back as well. When we arrived to Bondi Beach we went to grab lunch. Fish and Chips was for lunch and i think by then everyone was tired. But Betty motivated us to walk back.
I must of hurt myself when i jump off a high curb. It was so painfull walking up those stairs. 2 hrs it took to walk back and it seem like forever. But we finally made it. I was so tired so went home had dinner and i went to sleep early like about 9.30pm as i had work the next day.

It was a fun day though but my feet was killing me badly.
