Going back

Here I am again... haha... miss me? anw, where did i last stop again? hmm~~ oh yea... Nelson... well, we were quite tired that day... but then the next day was back to Christchurch day! so, packed our bags and the next day woke up early and left the backpacker's...
This post may not b as fun... but got a few nice sceneries la.. here's one... we drove til halfway and juz stopped by to rest for a while... yeps~ hehe... let the car rest too la... poor cars...
But then soli la~ i dun care... take nice nice photos mar... haha... as u can see, Siew Ping is trying out my shades... haha~ she looks so funny la... juz like first time wearing shades then dunno how to take it out... aiyoyo~
Well, this was what i took by standing on top of the car... oh and did i mention that Chin Kiat actually stood on top of the car too but he came down immediately... u all know why? it's cuz he's too heavy!! hahaha... the ceiling nearly got deformed... -_-||
Group photo~ haha... from left Choon Seng, Benjamin (probably stil suffering from the coldness in Nelson as he looks kinda feeling cold), the car that i drove, Angeline and poser Chin Kiat (green arrow)....
After a while of driving, we reached a town and stopped... i think the town's called Murchison... we stopped as some people wanna go to the loo... release tension la~ haha... from the pic above, u can see Siew Ping actually learnt bad from me dy... she actually stood at the middle of the road thinkin tat's her grandpa's road... haha... smore stand like a dai ka jie wor!! haha... or maybe she's stil drunk from the wine tasting two days ago?? hmm... probably... btw, if u read my first post, u'd know wat i did that she learnt from... hehe..
Took this in front of the tourist centre... hehe... nice place right? =) Well, soon after, we left the town... and smthg kinda unlucky actually happened......
From here, as u can see, I (A) look like the triad boss walking with his bodyguard (B) to see a dealer or smthg liddat... yeng lei~~ then it's juz like in the movies when two gangs wanna do some illegal trading....
Next, time to show the money and goods.... and exchange... with the bodyguard watching out for police~~ oh yea....
After got evrythg settled, the gal usually follows the most yeng guy back la... hehehe... =P anw, these three pictures actually is taken when Chin Kiat found that his car got not much petrol left... this was the unlucky incident that I was talkin bout earlier... We were actually 40 to 50 km to the nearest petrol kiosk that time!! moreovr, his warning lights flashed 3 times alrdy!! omg~ we were so frightened... haha... Chin Kiat drove the car at a slower speed aftr that... we headed back to the nearest town... Throughout the journey, he only drove 40 km/h... slow eh?? haha...
We're juz so excited to see this!! hahaha... and that the car's not stuck yet... it's stil moving steadily... not bad eh? but how far more lei??
6 km only mar... can la~ no problems one... so, thank gudness ar!! reli heng (lucky) ar........ haha.... since it was alrdy ard 1 pm, we decided to eat lunch at Westport... we found a chinese restaurant, sat down and saw that the food are expensive!! so, we left.. cuz there're two other restaurants bside the one we juz entered, we decided to visit those two... hehe... i was thinkin "i wonder how they do business like that? three restaurants stuck so closely together.. hmm~~"... but later we found out... actually all three restaurants were operated by the same people... -_-|| all three with different names one.. but same kitchen... aiyoyo~ so paiseh (awkward) lei...
And so... we bought takeaways... i suggested we go to a beach to eat... this is how we ended up at Carter's Beach... hehe... we ate lunch here... nice lei?? got beach view while eating wor... haha...
Front view of the beach... nice right??
Side view of the beach... hehe...
Obviously Ben had nth better to do aftr lunch... so, he went to take a walk at the beach.. this pic looks creepy right? haha... it's like his head suddenly pok (appear abruptly) out of the ground... smore with that evil looking smile on his face... aiyer~~ i think he maybe stil feel a but cold la...
Well, since we all got nth to do aftr lunch too, we went down the beach to take some photos... isn't this beautiful?? it's all shaped by the wind... and u can actually see sand dust fly from above where we parked our car...
Ben took this pic... he actually made me look like a model~ cool eh? haha... I'm like promoting the watch i'm wearing.. or the shoes~~ haha... no no~ mayb the shades!
I took this... dun u think it's suitable to b a CD cover?? thought of any gud names for this band? haha... mayb we shud call it Beach People... or The Seven Wonders? haha...
Then, me and Ben came out with this idea... haha... nostalgic?? rmb Street Fighter? i call this Beach Fighter.. haha... on the left, we have Ben J and on the right hand corner, KS!! 3.... 2.... 1.. FIGHT!!!! soon, we left the beach and rushed back south... hehe...
This was the beach before we went down and....
This was the same place after we went down... haha... we destroyed the beautiful sandscape~
On the motorway, we encountered this... My whole car was sleeping that time except me... hehe... so, i took this photo... in NZ, we not only have to give way to pedestrians, we also have to give way to cows crossing wor~~ haha...
This time, we were actually on our way to Hamner Springs!! hehe... to take a hot bath basically... I was kinda tired and so, i passed the wheel over to Choon Seng only to realise it was the biggest mistake evr!! -_-|||||
This was how fast he drove round the corner... and not only that.....
He actually drove in the middle of the road!!! aiyaya~ thank gudness we're stil in one piece and that time, cuz wanna avoid watching him drive, i slept... haha... after i woke up, he actually drove a bit slower la...
That's why I was able to take this photo... nice view eh? hehe...
This is nice too... soon, the sun was setting alrdy...
Here are some sunset photos... haha... took it when the car's moving.... so, may not b the best quality but stil is nice la~ haha...
Angeline took this... i reli gotta say this... she's got some skills la... hehe...
I kinda like this... the colours are mild and not too bright.. the whole landscape's like in one colour which is bluish... nice~ well, we did manage to reach Hamner Springs later that day... haha... heng ar........ and took a bath and next went back to Christchurch lo~ I didn't take any photos at the springs as it was prohibited to bring camera in... plus i dun wan my camera to get drown in the water too la... haha~~ okie then.. next post wil be this friday or saturday!! hope to see ya back again shortly... ;)
