C'est LA viE

First time gone to the Regent theater at Broadway, but not watching an orchestra or ballet, i gone today totally just for Nicole.

She was taking part in a cultural performance show tonight, named 'World on Stage'

The show was mainly dances and songs, never know it until Nicole invited me.

I also had long time dint go for this type of show since the international night in Otago in 2010....really miss that...

Tonight's show were sponsored by local communities, so was sort of a big public show rather than student performances like what I had seen in Uni.

Therefore I am quite interested on the shows....

Nicole's bf picked me up and basically I just watched the show with him and his friend as Nicole was always at backstage preparing for her performance

The show started up with Te Kura Kaupapa Maori O Manawatu, I guess is a Manawatu Maori society opening.

Thought is adult Maori performance, but all of them are kids.. well is kinda 'powerless' haka performance, but perhaps we couldnt expect much with Manawatu.

Then, it followed by the Scottish Pipe, Lion dance, and various dances and songs...

I am not going discuss all the performance here, cz there are like 20 smthing....well most of them are OK performance,

but I guess not many people will want to pay NZD18 for that, is not expensive, but somehow is not cheap either.

Of cz, if get to watch so many performances with the show,NZD18 could be worthy, however, the show itself was poorly organized, even the performers knew that. That was a delay during the second half, and some of the performances on the list were actually missing.

The theater itself is a very good stage, but too bad the organizers didnt use the stage setup wisely...based on what I heard from Nicole, the back stage was a mess, the procedures were not planned accordingly and her dance group nearly missed the show

Luckily Nicole's dance was a good performance, she danced elegantly and beautifully~

too bad the moves were very fast, was so hard to capture a good photo....but her movements were in my head now ^^

The most amazing performance was the Korean Arirang, no wonder my parents kept on praising it when they went to North Korea for the show in 2005.

For the Japanese performance, they were well prepared and energertic too!

But for the remains, hmmmm.,,,well the Bengali dances were good, others were just soso...some were even not well prepared.

Actually the Regent theater is very beautiful, however the show is not well promoted, so actually not many people come for the show. I guess the poor organization should be blamed, hopefully these shows still remain in future.

Is always good to have this type of show for the western..

昨天在工作时就一直在想，怎么感觉这个8月31号好像是什么日子似的。。。然后在脸书上看到大家都在发关于merdeka的post

才恍然大悟，是国庆日！我怎么能忘了？？

整个就是惭愧。。。天啊，原谅我啊，我的祖国。。。这个一定被人指责是不是在外太久，连国庆日都忘了

恩。。。这个吗？哎哟，反正我就可能太久没庆祝了吗，以前都是在家看花车表演

现在却必须工作，当然就和平时一样，一时忘记了。。。==

不过今晚就一个event，Manawatu Malaysian Society办了一个类似大马之夜的活动，其实就是庆祝国庆加开斋

一开始的‘演说’，这个组织的领导是个印度籍人士，而且还是吧生人。。。来得人其实也没有我想像的多，而且多是叔叔阿姨级的。。。

而且其实学生也蛮多的。。。因为今天早上也有一个类同的活动，但是那个是大学马来西亚学生组织办的，虽说我也有被邀请，但是一直有人再三强调那个是让学生去的

加上自己也离开校园快2年了，更何况又不是我的大学，人啊还是要懂得身份

况且邀请到那么没有诚意，整个就更加不屑去这种所谓学生的活动

所以我只去了今晚这个，除了想认识其他同在这个小地方的其他已经工作的马来西亚人，也算是为了食物而来。。

一开始还唱了国歌，整个就是。。。无语。。。而且那个领导还测我们还记不记得国歌，把那个视频关掉，叫我们清唱。。。

我几乎都忘了，上一次国歌搞不好毕业后就再也没唱了。。。

过后，晚餐时间到！主要食物都是potluck形式的。。。。

我也做了‘饭煲’鸡饭。。。原本还以为会有更多美食，因为去之前，kylie就一直在说会有什么什么美食。。结果。。。。

这个，不能算不是琳琅满目，但是就相当一般。。。我觉得主要是因为很少马来同胞被邀请，这个真的相当不好，毕竟是为国庆而来的

而且就算有马来同胞来，其实也相当过分，因为主办方并没安排halal的食物，纵使我们在国内受不平等待遇也不能在国外报复啊。。。

这个算了，反正我们也不是主办方，也不能说什么。。。

其实我也没吃饱，因为食物很快就被一扫而空了。。。但是算了，我也不想去争什么，就让人潮散去后再加入

结果只拿到剩下的菜。。。哈哈哈

我有2个同事也来了，不过除此之外，认识到的新朋友，也多是学生，不然就是家庭主妇的。。。

整个就是北帕真的是没人。。。。

然后期待的甜品也来了。。。

竟然有月饼！这个未免太早了吧？？

大致上就是这样，而且我也挺无聊的。。。因为我是跟某某学生的车来得，所以也必须等待他们走时才能走

偏偏我又和他们不太熟悉，也是因为是朋友的朋友才会搭顺风车。。。这个就整个觉得，哎，我真的要能延长合约后，买自己的车

这样也不用处处看人脸色了。。。==

反正经过今晚后，觉得这种活动真的可有可无啦，难怪其他我知道的马来西亚人都不是很想来

主要也是因为多半是为那些有家庭小孩的人比较适合。。

终于！终于！五月天演唱会！我来了！

这个梦想从高中到现在，一直以来是不知道会是几时，甚至怀疑不知道会不会有这个机会，没想到机会就是这么不声不响的来了

机会来了，还是得自己争取，还好我选择疯狂的飞来澳洲，不然我一定会遗憾的！

话说上篇我们在menya吃了晚餐后，就马不停蹄的去演唱会会场~

其实我们也是差不多7点多就到了，不过还是照进场，东方歌手在西方国家开演唱会真的就不如在东方国家开演唱会那么疯狂

以为会很多人七早八早排队等候，但是都没有，有打扮的比较亮眼的歌迷，但也是占很少数。。。在会场等候的歌迷也不是算很多

我们拿了我们的荧光棒（在萧氏机构买的，3块钱），就等候开门。。。

我都不知道原来五月天的演唱会指定用蓝色荧光棒。。。恩，8点钟左右我们就入座了

对了座位号才知道我们真的是十足的幸运，真的超靠近！我想，我给澳币178，差不多等于马币575，也不至于到这么靠近吧？

可能是有，但是我没在马来西亚看国任何一场演唱会，还真的不知道怎么比较了

但是就真的觉得我们很幸运，就拿到那么前排的位置，我们那一区都是178的，但我们就坐第3排诶！

其实舞台很简单，就更幸运的是他们有设置延伸舞台，就最接近我们这一区！

然后会场不算大，网站上是说可以到12500人，但是其实相比五月天在亚洲开的演唱会来说，这个真的像音乐会的场地多点

不过这样反而觉得更好，觉得和我的偶像们更接近了。。。哈哈

当然演唱会没按时开始，大家都在看屏幕播放的mv,然后慢慢的画面变成赞助商的广告，大家都相当机灵，马上起哄

然后陆续有工作人员出场调整器材，麦克风之类的。。。。还有人以为某个金发工作人员是阿信，后来一阵嘘声哈哈

不过五月天的出场不是那种豪华登场型，还真的是不声不响，鼓手冠佑就走出来了，这时灯光也暗了，其他成员，石头，怪兽，阿信，玛莎也不知何时突然出场了

就真的是像普通人那样走出来，哈哈哈

一开始我都没注意到曲目是跟着他们出道的专辑主打歌排序的，因为我很投入，而且每首歌也耳熟能详，直到我发现大屏幕有五月天‘可爱孩童版’的专辑封面才后知后觉

石头算是离我最近，然后我才发现，妈呀，石头好帅啊！皮肤保养的真好！我果真还是喜欢弹吉他的男生！我的双眼一直死盯着舞台，即使大屏幕可以更加清楚看到五月天的表情

但是看演唱会当然是看真人，否则那多么无趣啊

其实我们一直都是坐着的，而且并没有所谓的摇滚区，只有几个在vip区的歌迷跑去最前排栏杆那里，在不阻碍后面歌迷的视线之下站着看演唱会

所以其实这次悉尼的歌迷都相当理性，也很守秩序。。。

歌曲还真的是陆续而来，唱到《拥抱》时，阿信终于走到我们这里的延伸台了！！大家都马上站起来做狗仔队拼命拍！我也不例外！

阿信的《拥抱》好投入哦，现在还真的回味无穷~

没多久，终于开始说话了！！这里真的好high, 只是没想到阿信第一句话是：好久不见！==， 我明白，但是阿信我还是第一次来你的演唱会列！

不过好久不见也没错啦，因为上一次看到五月天是2005年在马来西亚的anti dadah（抗毒）义演时第一次看到五月天，那时距离更远，只能看大屏幕

没想到时隔8年才看到你们，但这次总算是在主场相见了！还好阿信有问谁是第一次来看五月天演唱会，其实要是你知道我们从纽西兰过来会不会提出来？哈哈

过后歌曲其实也是不断啦，然后又回到讲话，阿信在细数五月天出道13年，我才发现我是从2003年，五月天服兵役回归后，从《时光机》成为五迷到现在，快10年了

阿信真的很搞笑，终于现场领教到五月天团队的默契，感情，幽默。。。阿信说这次把最特别的东西带来澳洲，原来就是这4张椅子（不算鼓手冠佑那张）

阿信说平常演唱会都没椅子坐，这次有椅子坐，其实这样真的很好，就感觉大家没有压力舒服的一起分享五月天的音乐

这应该是在亚洲那种华丽舞台，爆炸效果爆棚的演唱会没有的视觉效果和气氛吧，然后阿信也用那个‘很好的’英文介绍他们要唱的歌-志明与春娇~

非常搞笑。。。。看演唱会和听cd的不同是歌曲演绎的方式会不同，这次的志明与春娇演唱的方式也比较庸懒，撕裂。。。但是更显无奈和有节奏感。。。

这次其实我对五月天说话的记忆是深刻甚于演唱的歌，或许是已经习惯了他们的歌曲，所以对于谈话内容更加记忆优甚

阿信说现在创作不像刚出道时，因为都会有人服侍，这时玛莎和石头就识趣的跑去帮阿信倒水，按摩。。。然后开玩笑说怪兽会跳舞。。。接着大家都起哄要求怪兽跳舞

不过阿信就说我们雪黎的朋友都很失控哈哈哈。。。这个真的很好笑，因为阿信每次被我们起哄忘了本来要说的话，然后问说道哪里，我们又起哄跳舞哈哈

除此之外，其实他们也提到这次来悉尼有去吃海胆，生蚝。。这时我就不知道为什么有种感同身受的时刻，原来五月天也是普通人。。。只是他们作为我的偶像，一直是遥遥相望的，年少轻狂时候的追随到现在自己挣钱实现梦想来看他们的演唱会。。。真的觉得好不可思议，现在和他们这种在同一个场地，时间聆听他们用心制作的曲子，那种氛围，更像是久违的老朋友在唱歌给我听一样的感觉，年少青春岁月的时光不断涌现。。。

我无法再一字一句描写演唱会的曲目，还有他们所有的谈话内容。。。现在也没有办法回想整个过程，但是还是记得五月天真挚的歌曲，幽默的对话，有趣的内容和画面。。。

石头和怪兽都有过来我们这里的延伸舞台，一样的是，他们也和阿信一样大受欢迎！而且其实所有成员都有秀一段乐器演奏，唯独阿信没弹吉他，阿信我何时才能看你弹奏吉他列？

《温柔》那一曲超唯美的，因为是演唱会版，阿信还加入了一段os, 中间“我给你自由~我给你自由x3~我给你全部全部全部自由！！！”会场喷了纸碎，在灯光效果下真的很漂亮

可能你们觉得普通，但小妹第一次看演唱会，震撼程度还真的不小~

阿信本来是说以温柔结束演唱会，当然我们知道那个是假的，因为还有安歌~但是别那么有信心，我那时也超害怕他们真的不会在出来的说。。。

不过他们还是有出来拉。。。^^

〈恋爱ing>,〈离开地球表面〉等都让现场尖叫起来了，大家都跟着哼唱~到最后一曲时，〈憨人〉。。。我竟然哭了

在唱〈知足〉时，我们也被要求打开手机的电灯筒，这时全场点起了星光，一片星空~

我之前其实都有在想经常听到很多人看演唱会都会感动到哭，我在想我会不会哭，没想到我真的哭了

只能说太感动了！想到自己8年来追随着你们，这几年来生活中的跌跌撞撞，不是说每次都靠你们的歌曲站起来，但是你们的歌确实为我带来勇气

尤其是对于追随自己梦想的执作，人活着要勇敢的追梦，要抱有希望这种意志，这种坚定是因为你们熊熊燃起的！

就像你们的〈憨人〉一样，我们大家都是憨人，我们可能很傻，很天真，可能我们都是被人瞧不起，被人质疑我们是否能圆梦

但是那种憨人的执作，相信，努力不会白费的。。。阿信那一番话深深的敲打着我的心，一直在我脑海旋转

“你的梦想是什么？你的愿望是什么？你的明天是什么？不管那些是什么，但是我相信会有一种声音带领我们找到我们要去的地方。。。如果你孤单的时候，没有人陪你的时候，在心底一起唱：啦。啦啦啦。。。啦。啦啦啦。。啦。啦啦啦。啦。啦啦啦。。。。

阿信，你知道吗，当你问我的梦想是什么，我真的泪水有直流了，不假思索的，我真的是因为你们才知道要有一个梦想，中间每次想放弃的时候也是因为你们振作起来。。。你们的歌曲不是单纯因为你们是我的偶像而听了，而是生活化的成为我的精神良药，提醒我生活的美好，活着的希望，生命的可贵~

就像你说的一样或许已经不是歌迷，更像朋友。。。即使像小燕说的，有些人领悟能力很高，所以他们可以影响他人，我相信五月天真的有这种能力

可是可能很多人觉得我们就是太脆弱了才会被影响的，我承认我是脆弱的，至少我庆幸自己是五迷，也没后悔过，无论你说我疯狂还是神经，我都接受，但是我是理性的，因为我不是盲目的追求，五月天是和我的生活并行的，他们的歌曲在我人生的不同阶段都在影响，鼓励着我。我可以肯定的说真正领悟五月天歌曲的人是不会坏的

因为我一直都是被正面引导的~可能起初专辑都是比较情况叛逆的，但是和我们普通人一样，五月天也在成长，他们告诉我们追梦的能力，抱负，勇气，也警戒我们错过的遗憾。。

阿信问的：你的梦想是什么？再次提醒我不应该逃避，不应该放弃，不应该忘记。。。。谢谢你们！

我必须再次重新出发了~五月天你们也加油！

话说，最后谢谢主办商的时候，我们就知道第一个是萧氏机构，阿信就问：我都还没有说你们怎么知道，然后我们说大屏幕有，他就指着大屏幕叫我们念。结果指向‘机’的位置还故意指了2次，变成大家都念‘萧氏机。。。机。。“ 大家明白他的意思哦？

结果全场笑翻了！阿信还说他不是故意的，是手指头跳针了！哈哈

p/s: 演唱会其实并没很长，差不多2个小时出。。。我散场时情绪都很激动，都不舍得离开会场，还在沉醉在那个感动的氛围，激动的情绪。。。。没想到曼祯超理性的说：好了，vivian,走把~

=。=

终结：真的是我人生中最高的演唱会，最感动的演唱会，再次证明只有五月天能把我变成一个更加与众不同的我，更加崭新，勇敢的我！感谢你们来到澳洲，感谢曼祯一起和我追梦，感谢自己的父母把我带到这片土地让我有这个机会观赏他们的演唱会！

Yeah, Paya come to Palmy today! Haha, I really happy to see her, long time no see!

There's a mini international festival today at downtown. Yes, it was indeed a mini version, compared to the last International festival I posted in March this year.

We both had so much fun!! lol, candy pop!

What's inspired me was, the IPC Japanese Taiko club also have a mini performance today! First time I was able to watch this performance so close~Arg, I really want to go to Japan!!

And I also realized, I still like Chinese/Japanese anyways regardless I am at NZ where there are not many Asians here. Lol. U must be wondering why I come out with this conclusion, well, it had been a long thought...

Anyways, I also found out the cafe at Downtown started selling macaroons!!!! They specially launched them via today's festival, a good start! The macaroons taste good! Finally, macaroons in Palmy!!<3

The macaroon not just taste good, it has a big size! The mini macaroon, said the Japanese seller at the Occgi sushi stall at Downtown, is at the right, but it's yuck~ (taste suckss.)

Again, we have lunch at Bean cafe...This is a Malaysian restaurant, which have a very good atmosphere. They also provide manga and comfortable sofa, and they also sell bubble tea.

Too bad was, their food taste is not stable. Sometimes, I felt satisfied, but sometimes, it's just phew....==

This was the soy sauce chicken I tried last time, thumb up! Good taste and good portion size!!

later on, Nicole joined us, and 3 of us had gelato~ Nicole was so excited that she found the durian gelato (the yellow one on the left), I ordered a green apple gelato (at the right) while Paya ordered a double scoop contain milo and cransberries gelato.

I also bought this special Japanese carbonated drink, called Ramune~

What's so special about this is, it contains a marble within the bottle. To consume the soda, u have to use the device provided to push the marble inward to the neck of the bottle so that it will rattle around while drinking...A very creative design!

see the marble??

That's my lovely fun weekend, how was yours?? =)

well, was not planning to attend this event, i do admit that I am anti-social, and I felt uncomfortable being in these social events

However, i was convinced.....=.=

Anyways, tonight was great, I got to taste different wine, cheese and also learnt a lot about wine.

Tonight's wine tasting event is basically a wine tasting contest, each team was given 5 questions based on the characteristics of the 5 wine given. So each team was given 5 bottles of wine, and also provided with blocks of cheese (proudly made from our company site), and also some snacks and grapes.

I used to drink wine since 2009, and always being a white wine lover, but not addicted. I still prefer dessert wine the best. I know some knowledge about wine, but of cause is not an expert.

This is a wine "entree", haha, definitely able to warm me up. It was cooked with lemon, yum~ (yes, it is warm! A perfect hot drink for this cold winter)

So, what I learnt today??

Well, the longer the white wine stored, the color will become more golden and yellowish, which mean the pale colored white wine is recently brewed.

Besides, white wine brewed at the most southern part, tastes more sour. Hmmmm, interesting.

Luckily, there are 2 wine experts, who are team managers at my company in my team. So, our team, Red team won!!We scored 3 out of the 5 questions, actually we nearly scored all of them, but we changed the answer in last minute. But, anyways we won! =D

It was a good night, the wine were great, although I dint remember which one really good...=.=

But I definitely remember the camembert cheese I tasted was so good! OMG, this is the first time I am so addicted with cheese! It is so creamy, so soft, so cheesy!! It defintely high standard product!!

Ping was stil hungry after the wine tasting event, too bad, she cant eat cheese (due to allergy), I really felt bad for her. So we went to Wabisabi after the event, and I ordered this dessert:

Looking fancy aye?? But I still prefer the green tea ice-cream at Hanamizuki =D

Last week, one of my colleague’s 3 weeks newly bought car (all the way from Auckland) got stolen and set fire near the airport. He was called by the police that it was his responsibility to clear his car-trash as his car was not covered by insurance.

It was a bad news, but most of our colleagues laughed at it. Most people think is his problem that he did not get insurance. However, not everyone saw his story the same way. My supervisor, Sergey is a good friend of this guy and he felt so sorry for him. He raised a baking sales event to raise money for him, and some people (including me) were requested to bake our hometown delicious cakes.

Initially, I am willing to bake and agree that we should raise some money for him. This guy actually was pretty bad luck lately, he missed part of his PhD data for his project, and also encountered many issues for his PhD. However, sooner I discovered that it was actually not necessary to raise money for him. First, it was his fault that he didn’t cover his car with insurance. Second, if this incident happened to someone else, are we going to have a similar baking sale as well? Or it was just for this particular guy because Sergey is a good friend of him, therefore he is having such good treat? The third is, I didn’t feel that he is appreciating what we had done for him, so what’s the point?

Anyways, the baking sale is hold today at Morning tea time, and the cakes pretty much all gone. Eventually, we raised nearly a thousand for him, and well, he just emailed site-wide a big thank you. He dint even appeared for his baking sale, and he just hidden himself at his desk. I guess he thought is shameful, well, he better do. Then, why are we selling so hard?

Obviously, u can tell that I am not positive with this fund-raising event. Well, I should say this guy is very lucky that he has such a good friend like my supervisor, who has a strong influence over the site, and able to help him without his request. After all, it was a good and helpful action which shouldn’t be judged for the meaning or argued it’s necessarily.

Hopefully our effort was helpful for him and not bringing any troubles to the site. =S

p/s: had celebration dinner for Qing’s successful PhD oral confirmation at De Coree with Qing and Shirley. The dinner was alright, but happy for Qing’s effort got paid =D

Yeah, finally is the cultural festival again, and today was good, as it didn’t rain until I finished browsing and buying stuffs at the festival. =D

And another best for today was because Paya is here!

That’s very good, then I not need figure out what to do. Hehe, as my internet at flat all used up, I have no internet to use until next Tuesday, FxxK!

Actually was very confused how come we could use up all the internet that soon? Someone must have download or streaming movies/videos!

I admitted that I did, but was during off peak period when the internet was free, during 2am to 8pm, I purposely stay late or wake up early for that!

And what the heck with all those Gb all gone one week before the internet expired!?

This is ridiculous!

Anyway, back to the cultural festival. I was intended to try out some breakfast at some fancy cafes, haha. But Paya was suggesting to have some snack food before the breakfast.

And in the end, we just spent the whole day at the festival~

Thank god with the good weather, we have chance to buy so many different and special food from different countries.

Saw the Malaysian stall at first, Paya bought an agar-agar, and I was more interested on the nasi lemak, but would buy it at last. Then we were impressed with the Russian’s stall, and bought a napoleons cake and another rolls.

Omg, the napoleons cake was so delicious!

The Netherland store....

Paya was amazed with the Israel Falafel....

And Germany Danish ice-cream, I was hesistated to buy one when I saw that it come with whipped cream on top, oh my...

Then, we moved on to other stalls around, there were quite many stalls. This is what I love so much with the cultural festival in Palmy, as they were so many varieties, not like Otago international food fest which was more like an Asian cultural festival, ==

And cause is not held by students association only, those local communities also come to participate along, so I could say the food was more ‘well made’. (haha, I picked up on students so much since I have long graduated…=P)

Too bad the Taiwanese, Japanese and Korean stalls not selling food this time…..a bit disappointed…TT

Anyways, we still have heaps of food around, and the sun was so energized today, I was getting hot! Paya and I had been hiding ourselves in the lady rest room (not inside! They have something like dining room with comfortable chair outside the rest room, but still indoor) and finished up all the food we bought.

I was so happy with those kebab sticks, and fish ball stick, really likes those food using sticks, made it more delicious~

Many local restaurants also participated in the fest, so a good decision for us to have breakfast + lunch here. Or else, we couldn’t find any restaurants to have lunch as well (cause all staffs were working at the stalls).

There were 2 kids acted like statue at the fest, which was very funny....XD

Nicole came to join us nearly 2pm, then we changed location to the newly opened Black pearl café at Downtown. Felt sorry for Paya as I have coupon for 2 milk bubble tea, but it was meant to for Nicole….=P

In the end, Paya dint have her bubble tea, Nicole copied me, we both ordered rock melon flavor. Then Jessie suddenly came and bounced into me! OMG, really missed her a lot after I saw her, and Nicole and Paya sneaked away for nasi lemak, left me and Jessie behind.

Thought they would back shortly, but they gone like nearly an hour, for the famous churros….

I really don’t understand, I really dint find it special, so am I special? Hahaha~ XD

And again, Paya headed to Fielding again this time around half passed 3, really funny of her kept on thinking free bus would be provided with the cultural fest to encourage people from Fielding come to Palmy. But love ur optimistic dear~

After fun, is time to make decision now…..=( is so hard!!!

have a through thought with my nasi lemak, which was not very appetizing, i could make better....

Ok, u might wonder what’s Medieval festival, hmm, actually I am not really a good person to tell

Well, check this out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tewkesbury_Medieval_Festival

You can sort of get an idea, although this one was featured in US

Anyway, we saw people walking with costume, and there were many funny activities around~

even those young kids were dressed up so nicely, and they were not performing tho, they just people coming for fun like us, but they indeed had more fun!

The bad thing was the weather was wet and cloudy, dislike!

But in the end, the rain stopped, which was good.

I love how they used those quilts and random clothing pieces to make up those flags....

Then, the battle field started!

first, here comes the queen and princess~

fight~

wow~

and kids around were so into the battle~

And they even hold a medieval idol stage, kinda mimic American idol aye?

Anyway, we were not interested, but heard a young girl singing Adele <someone like you>, Nicole was like: this was wrong….haha, I agree !

There were many cute stores around~

this is awesome! <3

And we stopped by a candy trek, and I first time tried such a big candy floss!

It melted so quickly, and I was so messy and ate this pink stuff as soon as I could…

We also encountered this beautiful big bubbly scene!

And we have fun on playing around

Good on Nicole, and good on me able to capture this!

But look at me, what is the facial expression?? Failed to take nice photo….TT

Well, food’s everywhere~

Nicole was hungry, and she decided to buy doughnut!

Love this doughnut, but too sweet and fatty~

Anyway, we dint spend too much time at the festival, as we are going welly!

Yep, the plan was to get macaroon, and Nicole’s homesickness would like to have some Malaysian meal at little penang~

Food at little penang was not satisfying, well what u expect from someone who just back from the ordinary world??

Anyways, no complaint…..

We hang out around the harbor, sad to find out the wireless in welly was so sucks, I couldn’t connect to wireless with my hTC at all regardless the signal was excellent!

Hmmmm, and we were like: bored….what could we do??

So, Nicole called out her junior, and we walked around lambiton quay to seek for digital camera. Haha, Nicole was impressed with my good zoom of canon, so she would like to get one

But, welly was not a good place for seeking technology, well probably the whole nz was not.

And Nicole’s junior insisted us to try this sushi shop, and rated this sushi was like the heavenly made one, blah blah blah

Oh of cz I would mind to try, totally believed!

Hmmm, no comment, I would say: special~ unique~ hehe

But cant deny that’s long queue, and it was cheap and worth after hours.

And in the end, we also made our way to the French lady who made the macaroon in lower hutt.

Before then, we went to the Asian bakery store to buy some Asian bakeries, but seriously, don’t go there, is not worth.

The macaroon was not bad this time in term of taste, but seems a bit dull….the color fade off….anyway, still cant deny it was the best macaroon so far.

Note: we were lost in our way home, spent like an hour to get back to the correct high way, luckily is all okay…..I slept on the way back home again, felt sorry for Nicole, she drove all the way, and I understand how driver need some conversation to be awake…..but u did a good job Nicole, and thanks for the invitation for this good day!
