New Zealand Winter trip
Look !
It has been a month I stopped blogging,
not because of forgetting, but too busy for exam earlier and enjoyed winter holidays afterward.
Just flown back to Melbourne a couple of days ago,
I didn't expect that New Zealand is the nearest country to Australia,
but it took me 8 hours back and forth,
regarding this trip, New Zealand is scenically awesome but a boring one.
Let's put some pictures here for eternal memories :)
I can't deny that, besides than reading, travelling is the only way to broaden our knowledge and expand our horizons,
without travelling from one country to another country,
we'll become the socially awkward one or the one whom know nothing in this big world.
However, from this trip,
I learned that New Zealand is mainly a land for firming and agricultural industry,
we went to the Agrodome farm in Auckland,
firstly, we paid quadruple tickets in order to gained admission,
then we were get into a trailer, and the farm driver brought us for the "local animals" exhibition,
but this exhibition is so natural and exciting,
but I'm the one who pleasing and screaming around because I'm afraid of "any" furry animals,
daddy too! I asked him
"how come you're not afraid of the sheep"?
He answered me
"Where I not scared? Papa scared like hell, but just refrained from it, act normal and smile"
Actually me too.... got the same "courageous" genes from my parents! Even afraid still smiled confidently :)
Daddy can't stop laughing soundlessly,
And,
we went to the glowworms cave in Auckland,
this is my second time seeing glowworms,
it was awfully amazing where we sat in a boat,
listening the sound of river water, cave water droplet, seeing the billions glowing lights from the glowworms and enjoy the movement of the boat.
Here is the summary pictures of us at the glowworms cave.
The last 4 days,
we spent at Wellington,
below are the summarized pictures of us,
Wellington is more like a quiet city,
nothing much, although is big but a boring one.
And this picture is funny!

And,
we went to Hobbiton Movie Set,
it's one of the most famous filming spot for "Lord of The Ring",
there was a funny but astonishing thing happened there,
before the trip and during the trip,
the New Zealander tour guild warn us a few times
"please walk on the stony lanes, as there are many rabbit holes in the grass, so that you guys won't fall into the holes"
Then I was so curious, why did she mentioned "rabbit holes",
I asked daddy
"Pa! Why she said rabbit holes? she mean holes for rabbits? But I thought rabbit stayed on the tree like squirrel"
Dad answered
"No lah! Rabbit's habitat is underground, they just simply dig a hole in the ground, and sleep over only"
"No lah! Rabbit's habitat is underground, they just simply dig a hole in the ground, and sleep over only"
I can't stop laughing and said
"yeah meh?? HAHAHAHA! I dont even know until today, because we are city kids, almost impossible have the chance to see rabbits and what to say the place they stay? So, I think this time we chose the correct vacation spot!"
"yeah meh?? HAHAHAHA! I dont even know until today, because we are city kids, almost impossible have the chance to see rabbits and what to say the place they stay? So, I think this time we chose the correct vacation spot!"
Daddy can't stop laughing soundlessly,
I added
"do you know sometimes we human really need real-life exposure, if not we really would not know ones"
Daddy said
"of course"
I said
"last time I watched a TV program with mama, two 7 years old kids of famous actors, they are being tested for how rich they are, the TV program is to show that these two kids, they live in luxuries since born, and dont even have chance to be in touch with nature, so they enclosed both of them in a shack, and insert CCTV in the shack, and observe their reaction, and they put speaker in the shack where the speaker played a voice lamb, so when the speaker played "mehhhhh", they looked throughout the window and showed fear to each other, crying in the show, because they didn't seen lamb before! So they keep on advised and consoled each other not to scared, and the funny reactions were shown to the parents behind the scene. Do you think is real?"

daddy nodded his head and said
"of course! Because they didn't seen it before, surely they will scared"
I say
I say
"But 7 years old didnt seen a lamb before?"
He said
"Could be, as their parents are actors, busy working in the city, so they also living in luxuries, totally dont have chance to seen the wildlife animal"
I said
"yeah, so now, we also, we always exposed to the luxurious vacation like going to skiing, ski-mobile, taking private aircraft to the fox glacier, totally dont walk to the greenery at all, so now, when I heard rabbit staying in holes ones, I also get frightened! Then mine even worst, 24 years old just know rabbit staying in hole instead of tree, I think we really need to truly enjoy simplicity, so that we can know another area of life, because we already completely know about all knowledge of luxuries"
Daddy said
"Yeah we are"
"Yeah we are"
*he act sleeping pose (but daniel said his right eyes is semi-opened, hahaha!)
More than that,
we went to War Museum,
all of us act soldiers, LOL!
Additionally,
their "foods industry" are awesome too,
especially their seafood and meats :)
we went to the glowworms cave in Auckland,
this is my second time seeing glowworms,
it was awfully amazing where we sat in a boat,
listening the sound of river water, cave water droplet, seeing the billions glowing lights from the glowworms and enjoy the movement of the boat.
Here is the summary pictures of us at the glowworms cave.
More than that,
we still have chemistry and geography class for the trip,
where we witnessed the real thermal in New Zealand,
we learned and recapped our form 4 Chemistry syllabus,
"periodic elements",
we learned, witnessed and recapped the natural elements of thermal,
such as carbon dioxide, copper magnesium, sulfur, maganate oxide and so on.
and enjoying the free "sulfur" steam during the trip,
HAHAH! This is funny!
When I saw the surface colour is weird and wondered whether the surface is soft or hard,
and I ask my second sis to try to put her leg softly on the surface, see whether it is water or mud?
When daddy heard I said that, he suddenly shouted and said
"Dont test ! It's 100 degree celcius, once you tested, your whole foot burn"
"Dont test ! It's 100 degree celcius, once you tested, your whole foot burn"
When my sis and me heard that,
we can't stop laughing that, because we have been walking in steam,
and already forgot the surface is extremely hot, that is why it formed steam,
still ask each other to test the surface some more (whether it is water of mud).
Then,
only we spotted the warning sign, it is extremely dangerous!
The last 4 days,
we spent at Wellington,
below are the summarized pictures of us,
Wellington is more like a quiet city,
nothing much, although is big but a boring one.
*When we had lot of photos fun, then I asked second sis to take a picture of me for "ballet on the hill", I prepared to do split jumping, then dad suddenly stopped me and shouted "Hey! Dont jump, the surface is really steep, once you jump, you straight roll down the hill, still ballet on the hill?!!!" hahaha! When sis and me heard his anger but funny response, we can't stop laughing behind, because he ended his scold with still ballet on the hill??
And he is right,
sometimes I failed to considering the risk,
and that is why he always say I don't know dangerous at all,
and I agreed this,
sometimes my brains are purely energized with impulse to do things,
and I injured at the end,
but still worth it, because it's life,
we injured beautifully :)
