HEY! i'm finally back at last. this time around, the trip was super boring man ... i spent quite alot of time within the Nz training camp doing nothing or sleeping =P me and another friend of mine were so bored that we ended up catching flies, and by the end of like 2 hours, we caught 30+ flies within a 600ml bottle. unbelieveable? it true! i've even got the photos to prove it~ oh and sorry to disappoint all of you, but i didn't buy any gifts back .. things were just too expensive and i didn't bring much money there, so once again, sorry yah.

i can now lay claim to having paid the most for a 30 minute taxi ride. NZ$60!!!! the moment we got on the taxi, the starting fare was already $3.50, and for ever 4 lamppost we past by, the meter jumped 10 cents. wah i tell you ... each time the taxi meter jump, my heart also jump =P on top of that, i can also lay claim to having sat in the taxi with the largest engine capacity: 5.7L!!! its a Holden Sports Monaro, with a V8 engine that produces 260kW power, complete with front and side skirtings, 18" chrome alloy rims and a rear spoiler. its crazy how they use high performance cars as taxis in NZ, but this one tops it all man! damn cool ... the way the engine revs and purrs while going at 150km/h, with the sound system blasting away~
