1ST ACUPUNCTURE

Being kinda lazy recently, so I hardly update my blog page. I'm so sorry about that.

I had a 5-day New Zealand trip but I had only updated for a 2-day blog. I'm so sorry. I'm just too lazy to update the rest of my journey. In short, everything in NZ is a nature mystery! It is a country with nice sceneries that you'll never forget! And you'll definitely want to be there again! That's the conclusion for my trip to NZ!!!

Now for my latest update...

Yesterday wasn't a very good day for me. Woke up in the morning and I realized something wasn't right on my right ankle. 1st step out of my bed, it hurt! I didn't really care about the ache and straight to work. Stood for hours during my working time running in and out of the kitchen as usual to clear up the tables. And the ankle was really my killing point. I can't stand anymore. Talked to my manager about the problem and as well it was the time for my shift off! Text my friend about my inconvenient of going for the 7.30pm BodyJam class and I got her reply as "Come on! I bring you to the acupuncture!" Well, it wasn't a bad thing to try out! I followed her to a massage centre in a plaza. It was a male therapist to serve us and he is my friend's good friend. Got to believe him anyway!

He checked on my ankle and found nothing. No swell, no bruise, NOTHING! However, when he put on pressure on my ankle! It hurt! Really hurt! He started his acupuncture skill on my ankle with 5 needles in different so-called "acupoints". It wasn't hurt after all as what I'd been told "acupuncture is really hurt"... Laid there for about half an hour and done! After that, he massaged my ankle.

It was actually still hurt last night for my right ankle. However, I'm feeling much better today. At least it is not as hurt as yesterday!

NZ TRIP DAY 2

Woke up early in the morning at around 5.20am, got ready as quickly as possible to catch a bus to Milford Sound for a cruise ride out to the shore. It was a one day trip. The whole journey took about 5 hours. It was really an exhausting trip. We did stop by some of the places along the journey to take some wonderful pictures. There was an open space of greenery covered with snow. Then, there was a place called Mirror Lakes which the surface of the lake reflected the scenery around it just like a mirror! It was really amazing!

I slept half way through the journey. I was really really tired. Finally we reached Milford Sound, boarded the cruise and started another journey out to the shore. Mountains and waterfalls were all surrounding the place. It was really a stunning scenery with some living things like seals and dolphins, too! However, it was really a cold day. The cold breeze from the sea really frozen my fingers. Tried so hard to cover all my exposed parts into my jacket to avoid the direct contact with the external freezing weather! 

After a 2 hours ride, we headed back to Milford Sound port and took the bus home. On the way back, I vomited few times. That was really torturing. However, I really enjoyed the trip a lot! You got to see something new and discovered something you'd never known!

NZ TRIP DAY 1

Got on a bus to the nearest train station in Toowong to catch a train to the central station. Met up with my other friends at the station and headed to the Brisbane International Terminal around 4.30pm to catch the 1830 flight. Failed to check in because we didn't bring along our student visa for verification and we had to go online to download our E-visa as a proof to get checked in for the flight to New Zealand. Finally, we were done with the check in and got in the plane for a 3.5 hours flight to Christchurch. By the time we reached Christchurch, it was already 12am. Rented a car at the airport and had a cup of coffee before we started our journey way down to Queenstown. The weather is freezing cold by the time we stepped out of the terminal! Quickly, we took our very 1st picture outside the terminal and rushed to the car in no time.

It was really a very long ride to Queenstown. It took about 8 hours to reach Queenstown. Checked in to Alpine Village. The place was really awesome! The scenery was incredibly stunning! Most of the place was covered with thin snow and this was the very 1st time for me to get so close with SNOW! Everyone was so tired and exhausted after the long ride from Christchurch. After bath, we slept for about 2 hours and started our visit around the town.

1st, we went to the Skyline Gondola in Queenstown. Had our photo shooting session and of course the Luge! It was really fun! We saw people playing bungee, it was really terrifying! Had our late lunch at the cafe up at the mountain and headed down to the town to grabbed some ingredients which we planned to have steamboat at our resort! After that, we were all off to bed in no time!
