Day 1
First of all, I seriously hate airplane rides. =.= No, it's not shaky, but it just makes me all nauseous, and I can't help but feel like vomiting every single second I'm in the plane. So, I ended up spending 8 of my 10 hours in the plane sleeping and skipping all meals served to me. I even purposely charged my MagPod (iPod Nano), MagPortable (PSP), MagBook (Laptop) and even brought my MagDisc (Hard Disc) with me on the plane to clear my boredom away! D: It seems all of these are wasted. T_T Anyways, enough for the random nonsense. Around 1:30pm New Zealand time, we finally arrived in Auckland International Airport! :D (In other words, 8:30am Malaysian time.)
Goodbye, Auckland Airport!
Anyways, one of our relatives came and picked us up in the airport and gave us a lift to Thom's (my brother) house. And when we finally arrived in the front gate, boy were we surprised. Their 'guard house' has no guards in it. In fact, it's just a machine, and you have to insert a passcode in it for the doors to open. But fear not, for the houses you see behind the gates are not my brother's houses. =.= It's actually like a resort place, where you have multiple units in the area.
So, presenting... Thomas's house!
I took a whole video of my first tour around the house. It's easier than snapping a number of pictures and end up stuffing them all in this little spot. But I'll try putting the video in later if I can. If not, I'll just post up pictures in tomorrow's post.
After my short 'tour' though, I heard my father calling from downstairs at the main door, saying things like, "Hey! He left us some notes here!" But yes, surprisingly enough, he stick up loads of notes around the whole house. My dad and I then decided to have a test to see who found the most notes. xD
First note by the entrance!
"Welcome to my humble home, Dad, Mum & Sis! Thanks David (relative) for driving my family here! Guys, if you need me please call @ blablabla.
"I've bought bread, peanut butter, nutella for you guys - help yourself. On dining table. There's ice cream in the fridge too, & alcohol...everywhere. Lol."
"For dad. =)"
It's a Bluray documentary and a book about Egypt. Lol.
"For Maggie. =)"
YUSH! MY PS3 GAME! >:D
"For Mum. =)"
A bag of Hong Kong dramas to pass time. xD
"Remote controls: - to your right, i.e. right side of long couch."
Lots of notes, eh? Anyways, the photo-snapping goes on. :D
Specially taken for Mr. Morgana Koh Teck Kai. :P
AHHH. PS3!!!! *dies*
Nice clock in the kitchen. :D
Dad posing beside the Cert that shows Thom's Bachelor Degree in Medicine, that is placed right under the kitchen basin. xD
After that is an hour of rest before Thom came back home from work! Guess what? He finishes his work at 4pm! 4! I mean, 4!! Anyways, a little chit-chatting here and there and we left for some groceries and dinner at 6. :3
Unfortunately though, I forgot the whole time that I had my camera in my pocket so no photos for this session. -.- We went to a HongKie (aka Hong Kong-ian) restaurant for dinner. Ain't bad, but seriously, we ordered too much. =.=
Oh and, since we had our dinner around 7:30pm NZ time, it feels like we're having lunch because it was just 2:30pm in Malaysia. =.= I felt like the day just started, and then we're ending it with a huge dinner already. -.-
When we're done eating, it's already 8:30pm in NZ! But, lol, guess what? We couldn't tell! Because the freaking weather's like this:
Yes, it's already 8:30pm when I snapped those photos, seriously. =.=
And this is how 9:00pm looks like:
Anyways, what follows after that is us watching 1 episode of the documentary Thom bought for my dad. Pretty awesome stuff, probably because of the graphics. :D
After that, everyone, for some reasons, sat down nicely on the couch as I started playing Heavy Rain, a PS3 game Thom recommended. Played until it was 12:30am over here, then I stopped. And now I'm here! :3 Sorry if everything seems plain. /shot
I'll probably be able to write more nonsense tomorrow. Too tired right now... And it's only 8:20pm in Malaysia right now! D: Okay, enough! I'm heading to bed!
3:45 PM
