It's the last post for NZ trip! *finally!* Presenting to you Day 7 and Day 8!

So early in the morning after breakfast, we had a debriefing session. And Alan had tons to say, tons of photos, tons of maps to show us. And we were all going @.@ and Z.z
Practically one ear in, one ear out.
I was so bored till I draw stickmans all over the booklet, and even wrote out song lyrics. Ask me what I can remember, I'd say nothing.

So finally we moved on to our first place of the day. Mount Eden! The scenery = nice!

After half an hour or so, we left and visited Auckland CBD area. We had to do an activity along the way, but sometimes, the shops were simply to tempting for us to resist the temptation. And what's more was that Miss Deepa was in charge of my group! Haha.

Anyway, we still completed our activity first before going for our shopping!

Ahgwee got something that she like though. While Cla and me practically stoned and stared at the others trying out the clothes. Hahaha.

Anyway, we met up with the rest of the group before bringing us to lunch at some shopping centre. We had about 1 hour to get whatever we wanted to eat.

So, together with lifang and the rest, we went up to the foodcourt and ate pasta! The serving was huge lah! And lifang managed to finish it. O.O

Oh yah! There was this guy who was quarrelling with one of the cleaners in the foodcourt. We didn't manage to catch what they were arguing about. But there was 2 words that we could understand. "Shut up!"
And lifang told me that the guy was telling everyone to leave before he himself left the place. Lol.

Anyway, we had to clear our own plates and trays. Unlike Singapore, where we just dump everything and walk off. Haha.

After lunch, we walked over to the sky tower which was tall! Super tall!

And you could go and jump down! Hahaha! Of cos, we didn't have that. Some other guy did it. Scaryyyy! And I think it must be super cooling lah. The weather so cold! But actually, it wasn't as cold in the CBD since there are high rise buildings unlike the country side places. So I didn't even have to wear my jacket!

Cos they said we have too much time, they decided to change the schedule and bring us to the Auckland Museum. This wasn't planned initially! And because of this, our shopping time was actually cut down lah! ;(

But anyway, we still had to go.

I've got tons of photos somewhere with Caiying and Liting and I dun have it here. But I've got no idea when I'll get it too. So just bear with these first.

Ah yes. That's all for the museum. I've got tons of pictures. But I think I'll spare you all the agony of scrolling through the massive upload of photos. And it'll save me a lot of time from uploading the photos too! :D

Next up was the best part of the day! Hahahahahahah!
Shopping!!!! Yay-ness!
We only had like 2 hours? How pathetic. And that's not enough okay!

Anyway, I bought that cap I'm wearing in the photo! :D

And then lifang and the rest went on to buy other things while I was with Ahgwee. Then we bought a few other stuff, before remembering that I haven bought anything for Lenny and Nat. So I practically ran all the way back to the shop that was selling clothes. It was only 6pm, but the shops were all closing already.
The salesgirl said that all the shops closes at 6pm. How early!

So it was dinner after that. I totally had no appetite cos I was so upset that I didn't get everything I wanted. And to make it worse, lifang and the rest got some cheap deals and didn't tell me to tag along!!! So I was totally :( liddat. Hahaha.

Uh huh. And then I had Mrs Hua's daughter trying to play and tie my hair after dinner and then people started snapping away on their cameras. I have no idea where the photos are circulated right now, but I dun think I would want to know how I looked like then. Haha.

Since we had time before the coach left, and the shops were already closed, it was the time for a few last shots and camwhoring before we left NZ!

We played around with the camera timers and came up with whatever we could do and whatever was around us.

Of cos, even the dustbin! Hahaha.

Back onto the coach for the last time, we decided to take the last few shots too. Oh yes! A little something to tell.

Since lifang and me were sitting right at the back of the coach, and I was taking the outer seat, I had 2 friends - the toilet and this water cooler!

And anyway, sitting beside the toilet for 8 days, I haven been inside it once. But others had. And not surprisingly, it was super duper uber smelly that I could have just fainted. Worse thing was that when I asked anyone who had perfume or deodorant, nobody had it (!) And worst worst of all, because everyone knew I was dying of the bad bad smell there, lifang refused to share the aircon with me, and the guys kept trying to open the door so that I could leave an extra memorable part of my memory for this coach toilet. Well, it certainly did.
Oh yes! And cos I kept screaming whenever the guys wanted to open the door, Miss Oh complained that I was being very noisy! Pfft!

Next, was the water cooler. Sometimes, it would just happen to have moodswings and start beeping for no reason. And then I got to climb and stretch down to restart the water cooler thing. Hahaha.

Kay. Anyway, the last few photos with the bus.

And our bus captain!

And before checking in, we had time to go shopping at the few shops upstairs. So of course, it was spending of money again! Chocolates, magnets, key chains and I ♥ NZ tee! :D

And then a few of us went outside to get a feel of the NZ breeze for the last time before we checked in and boarded the plane!

Yupp. This marks the end of the whole NZ trip updates! A lot of information, of cos, is not listed in these few posts cos I can't possibly remember everything, and there are some that should just be kept within myself! :D

With this, I want to thank all my dearies! (In random order) :
'Lifang -
For being my bus partner, shopping partner, night partner, and the photos!
'Ahgwee -
For being my camwhoring partner, shopping partner, hotel overnight partner, and of cos, the photos!
