Palmerston North is a vy quiet place.. Peaceful, calm but windy!! Gosh, it was sooooo cold... -_-|| No wonder they have a wind farm there...

Anw, I left for lunch with some Ex-INTEC friends and some other newly met ones! Went to have dim sum.. Whoa, reli slurp slurp lo! haha...This one here is deep-fried squid tentacles... Yummy yummy!
Typical thing groups of ppl would do when really nth to do! haha...
After that, we big bag, small bag all bring go Wellington!! Yay!! That was 4:50 p.m... Reach Welly alrdy bout 6:50 to 7 p.m... We arrived at the Wellington Train Station.. There got Platform 9 and 3 Quarters lei! But now they got a laundry service there dy... so sad cant take nice nice picture le... But u all stil can refer to my previous post on how it looks like before! hehe...

At first I thought that Wellington would not be sooo cold since last year when I went, it wasn't really windy or cold... Who knows ar..... Fuyoh! The wind like hurricane liddat... haha... So, we went back to sleep quite early...
Next mornin wake up, preapre dy go out have Subway! hehe... But..... I felt kinda uneasy... I think I was gonna get ill.. Who knows I really got sick! Ish... Fever, sore throat, headache, jelly legs... No worries la! Not Swine Flu!! hahaha... But I was feeling really really weak that day...
But I still brave the winds and cold to pose for a picture! haha... The man wanted to read a map mar... XD
Still can tahan (stand it)? Sure, I can! Ok, go to the Beehive or the Parliament... On the right is a memorial for war casualties while on the left is the famous Beehive!
Right outside the parliament, there's this sign to welcome us! It seems to read "Please do not feed the pigs"... haha! So, whr r the pigs?! I bring home sembelih do ba gua...

Oh and this time got two kelefeis... haha.. One on the left, another on the far right end.. Ish.. cant Photoshop them away...
Soon after touring the Parliament, I contacted Bobbie Lee to meet him up! It's been more than half a year nvr meet him alrdy... Kinda miss him la... haha... Btw, saw this interesting thing! I wonder who would be able to enter there... Muz b smone who's reli slim la... -_-||
After that, Bobbie brought us to Cha restaurant... Had really nice Taiwanese food there...
This is one of the desserts they serve! Looks nice eh? hehe.. And the lighting makes it looks so romantique! Oo la la... haha... But stil, I'm sick... =( So, didn't really enjoy lo... Aiz~
This place looks really Chinese yea? Like those 40's or 50's Chinese place... We went to have dinner at a Chinese restaurant called Regal... That was after I slept for 3 or 4 hours lo! Thanks for the Paracetamol, honey tea and all the care yea!! That's why we have to travel with Doctors and Pharmacists... hehehe... Animal doctors or veterinaries are also good travel mates cuz they can care for animals... More delicate! Even better! hahaha...
