Adventures

... Spent roaming for hours on a random mountain thanks to John!

Fart propelling JUMPS!!

Making friends with neat strangers.....

..... Running away with neat strangers haha.

      Paddling a kayak so much that eventually your arms will fall off.

Stuffing animals full of food because that's the only way you show your affections towards it.  It's also wrong.

..... and the adventure yet to come!! It begins soon! <watch this space>

                                                                                                  

Christmas

This year I wished for snow... but I got sunshine instead... and sunburn.  :]

It's my first Christmas spent apart from my family because my sis is living in Melbourne.  So, instead, I spent a whole sleepless week baking, wrapping, eating, and running around like a headless chicken to organise a retreat for my workmates at Lake Tarawera.  Totally worth the effort!  The roads were tricky windy and the manual car kept stalling on me...but we finally got there and the views were spectacular!!  A huge thank you to all my compadres for helping me with the cooking and cleaning and celebrating and all the water fighting... and eating, because without you, I'd be getting pretty fat. :D

The view from the bach.

Lake Tarawera.

Baking an insane amount of brownies and anzac cookies.

Thanks for the lanterns Liza!! Mum loves them. :D

And thanks also to everybody for all the lovely gifts that was bestowed upon me and my family! Chocolate galore and boy how Eric's eyes gleamed with joy.  Thank you for fattening up my brother, he is almost ready to eat.

Hope you all had a Merry Christmas with your loved ones !

The Backdrop of my Habitat.

I don't think people truly appreciate the beauty of this country as much as we should.  It is awe-inspiring, so why don't we notice it more often?

... Here's some of the places I've been to

Lake Wakatipu, Queenstown.

Somewhere magical.

Lake Tarawera, Rotorua

Fantail falls, Haast Pass.

Lake Matheson, West Coast.

Sleeeepp!!!!

I love sleep.. What more can I say? If you starve me from my bed and I don't run you over with my bike then I must love you more. :]

The Art of Coffee

Definition : The realisation that to brew the perfect cup of coffee requires you to put all your attention, energy, and an insane amount of love into every single coffee you make.

Xbox 360

How else would I survive rainy days of boredom... and a nagging brother?

Happiness!!

Because happiness is [a] choice.

A Memorable Rendezvous

Full of sweet adventures, speeding tickets, and old people-bonding. heh ^__^

Music

... Makes me lose control and singing in the shower gives my family something to laugh about. :D

Friends

Because without you guys, I wouldn't be inspired.

Goodbye 2011! Hello 2012 rawr ;]

I'm counting down the days till the new year.  I won't drone on and on about this past year because there was way too much happening.  So instead, before the year is up, I'd like to mention a few things/memories/people that have made my 2011 worth living for.  So, in no particular order, here they are...

- My Family - Especially my mum!! Thank you for being so understanding and humble and feeding me when I'm sick in bed.  I don't think I can fully assert how much you mean to me.  I can, however, show you by eating all your deliciously heavenly foods. ♥ 


Love you all!! And missing you Liza :(

New Year. New Beginnings.

I know year 2011 hasn't even finished yet but I think it's about time I started one of these. I've been pretty elusive this past year (yes, thank you Juliette for pointing it out) and it's almost time for me to leave my perfectly stable little hole to venture out 'into the wild'. I've been trying to avoid this for a long time but humans are such inquisitive creatures. So this is how you can find me and update on me because you sure as hell ain't guna stalk me on Facebook! :P

So come join me on an adventure :] and be inspired... to watch 'Into the Wild' hehe.

Love love love love xo
