Other than the Christchurch ppl's visit, there's also the Palmerston North ppl... Pat pat o~~ hehe... She came here and we brought her ard... Waiheke Island, sing KTV etc etc... then she went down to Rotorua with her frens le... me, Florence and Pik Khee oso went there but met up with em one day later la... haha...
Took the Nakedbus service!! this Nakedbus is in the Pavlovich colour... hehe... normally Nakedbus busses are in black...
Along the way, got lotsa cute cute names like this one... haha... Papakura!! sounds like Father tortoise...
Dun play play ar... I oso went to Cambridge lei... hehehe... small town only la... aiks~ not the famous university lo...
After 4 hours bus ride, me, Florence and Pik Khee finally reach Rotorua to meet up with Pat and friends... hehe.. had lunch, check in to backpackers and next is the fun part!! The Luge!! haha... the above thing is the Luge kart lo... haha.. and a helmet la... so, basically, we sat on these and speed down the hill... and go up again and down again... NZD 45 for 5 rides + Gondola ride up the hill... worth it!!
Reminds me of Genting Highlands... hehe...
In the gondola... from left, Pat, me and Arvin...
We had to choose our helmets first... hehe... green is large, blue is medium and red is small... haha... dun we look like tortoises? Pat say i look more like a tortoise liao~~ -_-|||
Seems like i got some trouble putting my helmet on... too tight gua... haha... from left, me, Florence and Pik Khee...
Scenic track, advanced or intermediate track?? take ur pick~~ haha.. went on the scenic thrice while the rest took once... the advanced track was vy short and make me feel like in Initial D wor!! haha... btw, i nearly buang (skid off track) oso... aiks~
After go down liao, we have to take this naked gondola thg up to the top again to go down lo... haha... this one just like skiing... weee~~~~
Me and Pat on the naked gondola... with the Luge karts hanging below us...
From left, Arvin and me.... we're actually vy vy vy cold!! juz look at our position, u'll know dy la... haha... why we so so cold lei?? btw, this pic looks quite nice lei... cant see our faces one...
Ok... back to the question... why we so cold?? cuz it actually snowed when we took the naked gondola!!! omg... my 1st time see snow in NZ.... then, we Luge down the hill in the snow for our last ride... the experience was so so thrilling~~ so so freezing too and not to mention WET.....
She threw that on me... thank gudness din hit me.. haha!! ne ne ne pu pu!! =P
This was how heavy the snow is... haha...
Anyway, we had a group photo!! no matter how wet and cold we feel, at least we stil can smile and pose la... haha... From left, front row, me, Joseph, John, Zhong Yu, Pat, Nai Chen, Bo, Florence, Pik Khee, Arvin and Matthew... back row, Jason and Amy... haha... big big group lei~
I suddenly noticed evryone gathering at a place and Pat actually knelt down like wanna pray liddat... so, i curious la... i went there to see wat's happening...
Chieh~ actually bhind them got a heater la~~ haha... looks like a jet engine lei... sounds like one too... this one can actually use to bbq one lei... the heat is so power wor!! haha...
Yea~ right after we play at the Luge, we went to a spa!! oh, it's juz heavenly... Polynesian Spa...
It actually consists of these type of pools... smokin hot! the hottest i think was 41 °C... After such a cold experience, it's owaz gud to have a hot dip la~~ haha...
Wat's more? we got the lake view there!! haha... the green arrows all point toward the Rotorua lake... but at nite cant see anythg oso... aiks~
After the dip, we went to have a shower to wash away the sulphur... then i noticed this... was wondering since when we got a malay gal with us there wor... -_-||
Who knows it's actually Pat pat la... haha... she kinda reminds me of my Specialist Math lecturer, Mdm. Zurina... haha... she's reli a great lecturer!! =D
After the spa, we all went back to our backpackers to have BBQ!! yea.... haha... reminds me of tat time in South Korea... after spa, i oso had BBQ...from left, Bo and John... and on the BBQ platform from front, onions, chicken wings and two plates beef... hehe...
So, only Bo and John cookin la... we all sat down and wait only... haha... left to right, Zhong Yu and Jason... there's a bottle of Heineken, sausages, onions, half and well-done beef... nice lei~ but i din eat the beef la...
I went ard the kitchen and juz look at this... so so complete!! haha... from oil to spices... all got! after BBQ, we went to our room le... din do much tat nite lo... vy tired la... haha...
Next mornin, we had our bfast... and frankly speakin, this photo reli kidna wrong la... Joseph seems like fantasizing liddat lei... haha... Aaaahhhhh~~~~~ -_-||
We then walked ard town... introducing Rotorua!! dead town with only 4 ppl crossin the road and a group of student tourists frm Auckland and Palmerston North... haha...
We bumped into this... haha... Jack, since when u open a backpackers' one?? haha... and u think tat guy looks like him anot?? haha... oops~ We were actually walkin to a bus stop to wit for a bus to a thermal park...
But..... bus din come and made us wait for one and a half hour!! no wonder Pat so emo hide at a corner la... aiks~ tat time wind vy strong too... vy chilly~~~
Pat: Hey, Pik Khee! go find ur own corner to emo la....Pik Khee: Dun wan~~ i wanna emo with u in this corner.....
haha... the dialogue i create myslf one la... they din say anythg tat time... too cold liao...
Well, in the end we din go to that thermal park... so, decided to go to a park near our backpackers la... haha.. there got a lake, playground, thermal pools and steaming mud!!
Obviously it's me la... haha... nth to do so take photo lo...
The lake and the bridge... and there's me of course!
Steaming hot mud!! boiling wor.... haha... a bit smelly lo...
Me and Arvin posing bside a lump of steaming rocks... haha... or izit smoking rocks?? hmm~~
Florence and me... as u can see, the smoke is quite stinky... haha... Hydrogen sulphide and sulphur smell.... a cocktail of rotten eggs and fart gas.... =P
Behold!! the Bringer of Light~~~ haha... nice lei....
After inhaling lotsa fart gas and rotten egg gas, we plan to go back and prepare to go to Taupo!! yay!! lookie here... Haupapa sounds like 'really scared scared' wor... hehe... erm.. it's in chinese la...
Me, Pat, Florence and Arvin at the tourism centre waiting for Amy and Jason... we sat their cars to Taupo... John and Joseph took the bus there cuz too many ppl cant fit into two cars lo...hehe...
When we reached Taupo, it's alrdy dark and we're all hungry... what to do?? went to Pizza Hut to eat!! haha...
Pat like blur blur eating her pizza... hehe...
Hip-hop Pik Khee eating two pizzas at once... greedy~~ hahaha... =P
Some funny quotes on the pizza box... for example 'some of my best friends are pizzas'... haha... aftr tat, we went back and played the Mafia game lo... it's smthg like the Killer game or u wan call it the Hunter game... got a lot of names la... aiks~
The next day, mornin early early wake up and then went to rent a car!! haha... nvr would i dreamed that i'd drive again here wor... haha... I rented a 2004 Daewoo Kalos... yea~
Went ard to see sceneries... this is Huka Falls... Nai Chen and me...
Another reason why rent car? cuz wanna play this mar... Huka falls Jet!! seriously syok (exciting) lo... yipee!!
This is me in the water-proof robe... kinda looks like a chinese priest... hehe... but it's blue... not yellow...
Group photo!! yea... i kinda lazy to re-introduce le la... -_-|| hehe...
This is the jet boat we'll be takin... and we'll be doin the 360° turn... omg! it was so much fun... haha... so excited too tat time...
The propeller of the boat.... A is to steer left and right while B is for reverse and forward...
Levers A and B move the respective parts... hehe...
Here's a 360° turn!! will u juz look at that!! amazing.....
After the excitement, we were brought to Huka Falls... nice view lei... hehe... got rainbow smore...
After the Huka falls Jet, we came out and there was a prawn farm next door... hehe.. we din have seafood for lunch la... but then i noticed this...
No wonder the prawns are all so fit and healthy... hehe... cute muscle...
