After two nights at Franz Josef, we hopped to Taxi’s bus and continued travelling south on the West coast to our next check in town - Makarora.

The weather wasn’t so great at the beginning. Our […]

Who am I?

I am not sure about my name anymore. In HK, I used my chinese name. After I moved here, I added my english name as my first name, and it is in my citizenship card. Later, my english was denied because one Health-care admin. staff said my english name isn’t on my birth cert. Since […]

Last week of work in 2006

( Post )

After last week of some crazy work hours trying to meet the deadline, this week I can finally ease down a little. Despite the stress I had, it didn’t stop my christmas spirit stuffing myself with all the junk food that we have been getting in the office. I am feeling fat this Christmas. I […]

The entire house were up early to get ready for our friends’ big day. The very reason why we were on the other side of the globe. All the showers were quick. It wasn’t only because we needed to hurry to get ready, but the water on the island was saved from the rain. Jin, […]

NZ1 - A wrong start

After all the craziness at work, I was so glad to begin my journey to the other side of the globe for my friend’s wedding and to see the country. As I thought I had everything in control and planned out, I found my newly bought portable hardrive didn’t work in the middle of the […]
