departure, late night, ate in the air asia flight, when arrived it was around 2 to 3pm, so we had a good rest in the flight. If you plan to cook in NZ, do remember to bring along ready packed instant curry, tom yam, asam pedas, and rice or wtv you want. Avoid bringing any meat or any fresh products as they are very strict with this issue. Remember to bring one or two empty plastic bottles so that you can use it to wash yourself in the toilet.

stayed one night in Christchurch in Earnslaw Motel in Blenham Road

bought groceries and halal meat from halal butcher which is a around 5 min walk from the hotel.

Halal meat is not available in Qs so planned to bring the meat there to cook (caravan provided fridge and freezer)

Cooked in the 2 bedroom apartment which provided a full kitchen

----

depart by caravan (KiwiCampers) which we rented online for 6 people.

About three hour journey to Oamaru, stayed in one of the Top Ten Holiday Park. (www.top10.co.nz)

How was it?

Alhamdulillah, provided common kitchen and bath, very clean, beautiful place, able to cook rice and meat dish. We held back from using the caravan toilet as advised by the caravan staff so that we wouldn’t need to clear the toilet tank before returning the caravan back. We usually used the common kitchen at the holiday park as it would less of a hassle to clean up. We mostly used the caravan to sleep in and used the fridge to keep food supply.

Went to see the blue penguin around maghrib (around 9), it was nice, very cold eventhough it was summer, we went to see the penguin by caravan on our own to the location. Joining a tour would be expensive.

There are also rooms that can be rented which you book online in advance. Slept in the caravan since we are paying about rm800/day.

----------

depart to Queenstown.

The drive to Qs was beautiful! The shops close around 5pm but you’ll be able to find some groceries that close later such Night&Day and Freshchoice.

We stayed in a three bedroom apartment with full kitchen at Ridges(don’t remember that well)

Apartment was wonderful which provided washing machine and dryer.

We took a drive to town which was a less 10 minutes drive and did window shopping.

We cooked dinner at the apartment.

---

In the morning, we went on the gondola and on the Luge ride, (remember that all these rides and games are very expensive. You would be able to skip the gondola ride and go for a hike uphill or downhill which is beautiful! for free!)

After that we packed food and the clothes needed for a one day trip to Te Anau.

Te Anau is famous for Glowworm Cave and Milford Sound. At the holiday park, you’ll be able to book your tours at the holiday park office but remember to book ahead.

We went to the Top Ten Holiday Park and stayed for the night.

We walked around Lake Te Anau around sunset.

----

We went for to a Honey and Alpaca Farm Tour in Te Anau which is around 80nz/pp.

It was very enjoyable. Barbara who was the owner of the farm was very warm.

We went for the Glowworm Cave in the afternoon by boat and the view was stunning. We didn’t go to Milford Sound which was around three hour journey by boat and it was fully booked and we planned to go back to Qs on that day.

Arrived in Qs in evening, cooked dinner and slept.

Went for Ziptrek (which was something like skytrex in kl – flying fox from one tree to another). The Ziptrek was up on the hill which was near the Luge.

tak pasti but rasanya we went jalan-jalan around Qs on this day.

We left for Christchurch, on the way we went to AJ Hacket Bungy Jumping.

We took a different route on the way there, we passed Fairlie, Mount Hutt.

We decided to stay at the motel just next door to the one we stayed in previously in Christchurch on blenheim road because they had wifi etc.

We returned the caravan and rented a car and went for a day trip Akoroa.

Akoroa is very a cute little town previously colonized by the French and the British.

Went for the jet boat here because it much more cheaper compared to the one Queenstown.

Returned back to Chc.

---

went to the zoo which was near the airport. It drizzling slightly and it was quite chilly. My mama like the zoo.

Since the halal butcher store near Bleinham Road was closed, you can go to Lincoln Street to get our halal meat.

That night we left for KL.

emak dan bapa!

A man came and said, "O Messenger of Allah, who among people most deserves my good companionship?"

He said: ‘Your mother.’

He said, ‘Then who?’

He said: ‘your mother.’

He said, ‘Then who?’

He said ‘Your mother.’

He said, ‘Then who?’,

He said: ‘Then your father.’

Read those words hunnay, "most deserving of my good companionship". Doesn't she deserve it? She does. My good companionship, what does that mean? It means being sweet and kind to her, help her, talk to her when she looks upset (make sure you say the right things though because if you don't.. heeh). After this, we'll be leaving for university or college and we'll live with new flat mates, maybe for 4 to 6 years, probably forming strong bonds with our new friends. Yet, i've lived with my parents for almost 17 YEARS. It is kind of absurd to think about it. It really is, when we look back, it seems pretty 'normal', but just imagine if you were to live with a group of people for 17 YEARS, wouldnt you guys be tight like the jeans you bought two years ago heh. I probably spent most part my youth just being a heck of a horrible child to them. Countless of times, i've been ignorant to them, why did i do that? For what ultimate purpose? I remember just doing it for no absolute reason other than to just annoy them and to let go of my frustrations -.- Which is ironic because, didn't it just cause frustration?

OAllah, let us always give our good companionship to our parents. AMEEN.

anyway. id like to thank the blogger.com peeps, lol i love spell check. heh

its 2011. wow.

decided to write a new post, havent done it in quite awhile, you can guess :) i read back all my posts, well atleast most of it, and realized most of it was garbage. pure sedih-emosi-tergugat stuff mixed with wierdly ecstatic bull. I realized that i was so full of myself. i mean. really really full of myself. really really really really really really full of myself.

hmmmmmmmmm

o Allah, always make me free from ignorance and always make me concious of Your Grace and Your Ilmu and Your Almightiness Enthroned and The Coming of the Day of Judgement and O Allah, make me someone who will always work, ibadah and strive for good deeds to achieve Your Mercy in the hereafter, ameen.

If i were to read what i wrote from someone else's website, i would probably click the 'X' button or just change the link. Somehow, i did like all my 'emotionally bermasalah' posts, cos it didnt have much garbage in them. heh, i deleted all the rest, i think i didnt bother to delete the old posts in the first place because i was 'holding on' to my 'old' self. Now, there's only 14 left out of 60( 64, or is it 67?) posts, delete spreee, heehe. dont think im holding on so tightly now, though im not sure if i should keep all 14 of it, i wouldnt mind deleting ALL. HEHEH. anyway, next week we have exams, and i just spent roughly three hours + wasting time on the internet and tv._.

and still alhamdulillah, things are going well, i am able to study and i should go do it NAAAAOOO!. hehe, semangat la, isnt ilmu amazing, we should always fight for it, search for it, and look out for it. I mean ilmu yang bermanfaat lah bukan yang tak berpatutan dan yang merosakkan akal minda. i should do karangan now or smthg, neeh and i just spent almost 3 1/2 hours wasting time, plus, i should take my own advice -.- bye

don't you love those moments with a friend and you have silent moments but its not awkward. no, its not. its a peaceful silence, as if you can just look at that person in the eye and somehow you understand. you wont need words to elaborate & just watch and see. see that person, whoever it is maybe it's your mother, a relative, a best friend, a friend and maybe a stranger. just to look in their eyes and understand. i rarely have those moments but when it does happens, i cant stop smiling, because i know that i will have that someone in my life and i appreciate God for giving me such BLESSSS

---

These past few days i feel like a time bomb. i could blow up any moment now. TICK tick. the time runs. i wonder when will that be. i rest my case.

as to those i didn't acknowledge as much, i'm sorry. as to that, i wish i could light up a bit at the time being but i'm just a bit tensed up ever since school started. i rasa pusing bangeeettttt!

i'll take a deep breath, say my alhamdulillah's &

peace yall :)
