South Island, NZ1st day:
i only went to the south island!! haha ok. so, first day was like a lil boring. 10 hour plane flight! i didnt watch movies =( i wanted to but i was too sleepy. so i slept on the plane. ARGH stupid me! haha. arrived in christchurch, NZ sometime in the late morning (NZ time). temperature was bearable: 18 degrees C. yeah. dad rented a green toyota : picnic or something? shit i dunno what la. it's a little like my mum's estima. only spent one day in christchurch. i dunno.. we didnt really do anythang. i dont really remember. AHHHH. ok yeah we didnt do much (= we stayed at this cosy lil apartment called LIVINGSPACE:THE MILL. real cosy warm place. lots of Asians in there xDD so THAT'S GOOD we didnt feel too left out. HAHA.
2nd day:
we drove to dunedin.. quite long, took about 4-5 hours. i slept in the car (=. 3/4 there, we stopped by the beach to check out the huge boulders. haha. omg it was freezing there. it was damn windy and the temperature was probably 8 degrees? haha. dunedin is coooolllldddddddd. yeah we took some nice pics at the beach! ok c'mon no bikini shots la. everyone was wearing huge jackets. haha. oh yah! we also spent only one day in dunedin (=. dunedin rocks! the food there is nice and the ppl there are soo friendly and amiable =D
3rd day:
okie 3rd day HIGHLIGHT OF THE DAY! we climbed THE STEEPEST STREET IN THE WORLD. Baldwin Street! oh man, it's a legend. damn funny la. haha. we saw this lorry attempting to drive up. omg it's damn humourous. before you actually drive up the street, you gotta stop. then ACCELERATE REALLY QUICKLY. then ROAR YOUR WAY UP THE STREET. and the lorry only made it halfway. HAHA. then it started going down. DAMN SCARY. it just slipped down a few metres. then it started up again. haha damn funny. omg. we even bought the certificate from a shop at the end of baldwin street. my family climbed up the street la! but i was too lazy to. so i stayed in the car. haha. then they came running down. and my dad actually REVERSED THE CAR UP THE STREET. you have no idea how steep it is lor! so scary! yeah but fun (=. VISIT TO BALDWIN STREET COMPLIMENTS OF ME. yes i looked sharply at the brochure and i told my parents HEY WHY DONT WE VISIT THE STEEPEST STREET IN THE WORLD? lol im hyper just thinking about the fun we had. xD ok, i told you we only spent a day in dunedin right? yeap so after the baldwin experience, we drove to QUEENSTOWN. another 5-hour drive xD.
4th-8th day:
QUEEEENSTOWN!!!! oh man. the place rocks. it's located at the edge of Lake Wakatipu. omg. something like that la. ok, i cant really remember the sequence of events at queenstown, really sorry, my memory is failing me. so i shall just blog about the events in ROUGH chronological order. the first day and the last day are accurate. but the rest is all jumbled up. x) ok so the view from our holiday resort ROCKS ROCKS ROCKS. yes, mountains in the distance, a huge blue lake. such rich NZ flavour. and you get to taste it at queenstown. and it tastes AWESOME. first day, we settled in. got used to the insects. xD haha. omg i must tell you that the icecream in NZ is extremely economical (= YES IT ROCKS!! for single scoop (which is slightly larger than the size of your fist, which is really huge), the cheapest we got was NZ$1.20! that's like S$1.70? OMG SO CHEAP. haha. average cost is about NZ$2.00. which is still very cheap considering the icecream tastes heavenly. xD ok i remember we went fishing in Lake Wakatipu! 2 hours, and we caught 4 fish. lucky lucky us! omg. the Tan family is damn good at fishing pls. the lake is damn clean la. only has 3 kinds of fish: brown trout, rainbow trout, and salmon. salmon is the rarest. and guess what? we caught a total of 2 brown trouts, one rainbow trout, AND ONE SALMON! OMGOMG. haha WE ROCK. yes thanks also to our boat driver and PRO FISHERMAN Ian, and his cute doggie macey. haha. (= so we went to the apartment and bbq-ed the salmon and baked the rainbow trout. haha. boney yet yummy. =D ok then we also went horseback riding! 2 hours at Glenorchy (located at the other end of Lake Wakapitu. about an hour's drive from queenstown). it just rocked. i rode this damn sweet horse called Beer. he got bullied by another horse! =( i really love Beer! oh yeah. we saw the LOTR movie set there. yup. damn cool. i just soaked it all in. haha. yesyes. i cant really rmb anything else! damn. oh yeah there were a lot of buskers in queenstown. haha. and a lot of drunkards, unfortunately. x) oh yes. i think we also erm.. watched glowworms. in the caves. yeah. SO SCARY! hurhur. oh yeah and HOW COULD I FORGET MILFORD SOUND. milford sound! it was a day-long thingo. it was located at the far end of.. somewhere.. and we took the bus.. 5 hours! argh. then we went on this huge ship called milford sound. haha. a lot of jap tourists there! yeah. i dunno what was so significant about milford sound! very typically NZ. oh well. =(. but i met some very nice angmoh kids. haha. not that i talked to them. we just kept smiling at each other. HAHA. and yes they were about my age. yup. i think that's all for queenstown. after that, we drove to franz josef! 4 hours! HAHA I LOVE LONG CAR RIDES.
9th-10th day:

AHHHHHH I HATE THOSE KINDA PPL. anyway, we walked on a glacier at franz josef! omfg i forgot the name of the glacier la! but it was really mentally exhausting. haha. so much to say.. can i just summarize it? we walked a lot. haha. and we climbed a lot of rocks. and then we walked on ice! (the glacier) and we almost freezed to death (jk). oh yes, i LOVE THE LEADER OF OUR TOUR GROUP! Graham. you rock man. he's soooo nice he held my sister's hand the whole way through cuz she was the youngest. aww.
