Note: Sori, no pics yet. Only words now. Pics will be up once I get back to Brunei.
Not because of the handsome receptionist but got a bit also la.
I miss the sound, sight and smell of the city.
After this trip with my aunt and cousin, I have learned a few things.
1) I am definitely someone who loves to live in a big and colourful city.
2) During a holiday, you GOTTA be with the right travelling partner or you are just gonna suffer and miss out on a lot of great things to do.
3) If you bring me to a shopping mall, it's best you leave me there for the rest of the day or until the mall closes. Don't let me enter 2 or 3 shops and say "Let's go visit another mall. We can come back here tomorrow". I want to explore every corner of the mall and even if I dont buy anything, at least I know what's on sale and when I finally go to another mall, I can make comparison. That's what happened to me. I keep thinking abt all the things I could buy and arghhh!
4) After I am done with my shopping/window shopping, I like to sit down in a cafe and just watch the people walk by.
5) I like to give money to beggars. Heheh. But not so much to organisations like Save the Puppies or Save the whales/Dolphins. While waiting for my cousin, my aunt and I saw a beggar sitting nearby. I gave him 2 dollars (which is nothing when food is so expensive) and the tapau my aunt was holding. We couldnt finish our rice so we tapau-ed la. It's not like we eat and spit back or things like that. The rice is clean OK. Better than the next beggar we saw, he dug a packet of rice from the bin and ate it. Kasian..If I know we will meet 2 beggars, I would have tapau the naan that I couldnt finish earlier and give to the 2nd beggar hor...

The first day in Auckland was spent in the tour bus. It stopped at a few places and I was just fucking pissed off the whole day. My nails are hurting, I was hungry (tour starts at 10am, we woke up at 9.30am, my dinner last night was at 5.30pm and the bus doesnt stop for lunch until 3pm) and I was thinking abt shopping nia. I couldnt bring myself to smile in the pictures. Sien. The guide is cute tho. His name is Craig. We chatted a bit during the 3pm lunch wtf. He told me his dad is a Kiwi and ended up settling down in Vancouver but he is the direct opposite of his dad. He is a Canadian and ended up in Auckland.
I was only feeling happier after we went shopping. Only then I can smile when we took pictures later. Haha. Sorry, I am just selfish like that. For me, it's either all shopping first or all sight-seeing first. Dont mix it up. Maybe for one day or two it's alrite la. Anything more than that is just gonna piss me off.

So far the most expensive item I have bought is a pair of jeans which cost me NZ$70 and the cheapest items are 4 short pants for NZ$20. Such a great deal!

On Thurs onwards, I will be on a 5 day tour around the South Islands of NZ. Hopefully it's gonna be fun!
