15/07/2007 (sunday)<--11th day!
Let the adventure begins!!!
woke up in the shivering morning (about minus 9 degree) feeling the cold feet of doing the bungee jumping later at 11am with has, shed n anwar..can't imagine how would it be..jumping from 134m (the highest bungy in nz)..huhu
berbekalkn meggie gorg yg has wat pg tu, kitorg bergerak k 'the station' for registration and measuring our weights (huhu kantoi berat semua org! haha)...n waiting for their van to pick up us to the bungy site the bungy site is just like a cable car yg tergantung kt tgh2 canyon (siap goyang2 lg sbb it was only supported by cable wires!)..anwar and shed did the bungy first, then has n
then me (i was the last person that morning sbb yg paling ringan..hehe)..it was really amazing..cant describe the feeling of it thru words...it was really great!..awesome!...rasa cam nk bunuh diri pn ade...althought the jump took only 8 seconds..the scenery was...fulawey!!!..we also did dvd on that n shed pn wat video sndr ngan ikat camera kt tgn with celifon tape 
then at 230ptg, we did the skydive...tu mmg best giler...we jump from 12,000 feet, the instructor sgt baik..xcuak sgt la masa nk terjun tu...siap wat video lg (tp mahal nk mampuih...$209 for the dvd plus the photos n the poscards).. group hana, alan, pojoe, yamud,redzy pg tu wat skydive n ptg wat bungee while mat was the first person to do the bungee that morning (kol 7 am lebih..sorg2 lak tu sbb mat2 saleh in his group semua tarik diri..way to go mat!!!) n then skydive (dia yg abis dulu wat aktivity for that day)...yus, aiza n izwan if i'm not mistaken wat shortover jet pg tu...fateen n anep lak g deer park..dating2 ngan rusa, llama...kambing2..hehe
after a buzy day that day...at night kitorg tgk harry potter rmai2 kt queenstown mall..anep, fateen, mun n tini layan transformers..tp harry potter tu frustrating gak la..xbest..semua benda dia nk include smpai nmpk crita tu jd cam kalut2...(rating 2 bintang je!)
14/07/07 (saturday) <-- 10th day!
Dramas of the Dramas!!!
pagi2 lg our car (which is kete anep, fateen, me ngan has) wat hal...urgh!!!..we had a flat tyre..(smlm xprasan pn) n klu nk tukar tyre now, we might be late for the next schedule...so all 15 of us naik 3 cars only to Millford Sound also known as PioPioTahi for the cruise which menurut lonely planet is the world’s most scenic place
on our way..kitorg lalu 1 tunnel yg horror giler (Hemer's Tunnel)...dh la xde lampu
..gelap..cam xsiap je..dinding still simen lak tu...kuar2 je dr tunnel tu dh lalu tepi gaung...dh la jalan frost..licin...n snowy...giler mencabar!
on the cruise..we enjoyed the beautiful view..take lovely pics ala2 titanic..including with the korean tourists (makcik2 korea semua) -ade sorg pakcik korea tua minat hana..(haha)..for lunch, we had buffet yg kitorg share rmai2 sbb buffet tu mahal giler...nasib baik tea n coffee dia free..huhu
on the way blk..kitorg singgah main snow...we had a great snow fight..all the guys got snow in their pants (yus sorg je yg terlepas!)..we build a small snowman yg xjd sgt..(huhu xde skill
la)...made a snow angel too...tangkap bnyk giler family photo...then bila dh smpai YHA blk, xsedar lak yg kete izwan (skali dgn aiza, anep, fateen ngan pojoe) xde kt blakang..tgu punya lama but still diorg xsmpai lg..dh msg tp diorg mayb xde coverage..n then tiba2 anep ngan fateen smpai (diorg tumpang 1 caravan nih)..diorg ckp kete izwan tiba2 mati tgh jalan...so anep n yamud went back ngan kete mat to rescue izwan, aiza ngan pojoe (pojoe masa tu pkai shorts + slipar jepun ngan stokin roxy fateen sbb sejuk sgt) yg still stranded..5 jam lebih diorg stranded (kesian giler)..yus lak xabis2 rasa besalah sbb tukar kete ngan pojoe before diorg stranded tu...
the rest g tolong shakur ngan mat tukar tayar kete anep..unfortunately bila blk je dr Millford Sound tu..we found another flat tyre kt kete anep (mat masa tu dh menyumpah2 NZ car rentals)...so 1 tyre tukar ngan spare tyre yg xleh exceed 80 km/h n the other one pinjam spare tyre kete alan...barang2 dr kete anep pulak kitorg unloaded tepi jalan skali dgn brg2 kete mat sbb kete mat guna tuk amek diorg yg tgh standed tu ngan brg2 diorg skali...(which is lepas tu kitorg sorok je kt carpark yg kosong kt celah2 kete kt YHA tu)
before that, sbb sejuk sgt..kitorg masuk la YHA tuk panaskn badan..but then kena halau ngan makcik YHA tu sbb kitorg dh check out pagi td..bila dia tgk kitorg still kt car park n xblah2 lg dia pn dtg n bila dh tau kete kitorg wat hal dia pn suh masuk dlm YHA tu blk (but still dia xbg kitorg masak apa2 kt dapur dia)..so kitorg pn lepak2 la kt situ smbil makan roti sapu jem je smtara tgu dak2 stranded smpai
then dlm kol 7pm lebih, diorg pn smpai..kete izwan mmg xleh nk wat apa2 dh so kitorg tgl je kt tmpat td n let the authorities uruskn...kitorg then terus bergerak g Queenstown (ngan kelajuan 60km/j- spare tyre nye pasal)..smpai2 Queenstown kol 10 lebih..the rest dok YHA LakeFront while me anep has ngan fateen dok backpackers lain yg 8km from YHA (sejuk giler sbb heater xjalan- kitorg tido around minus 7 without sleeping bags!)...very tiring ngan ngantuk...what a day!..so the drama la kn~
13/07/07 (Friday)<-- 9th day!
Drive all the way to Te Anau...singgah Haast sbb has nk bergambar dekat signboard (sbb Haast tu sounds like her name..haha- prasan!)
we lost track of Izwan's car..so kitorg singgah 1 pitstop nih utk bergambar smbil tgu dia lalu...but then he must have missed it..so we continue our journey (masa tu Izwan ingat kitorg still ahead of him padahal kitorg kt blakang..nk msg pn xde coverage) then kitorg reunite with izwan, aiza ngan yus kt Puzzling World..but before masuk tempat tu..kitorg g hiking jap kt hill dpn Puzzling World nih sbb Redzy ckp leh nmpk view of Wanaka Lake (dia penah dtg cni b4- tp dia lupa nk mention yg hiking tu tinggi giler n penat nk mampus kn)..nasib baik view dia lawa..berbaloi gak penat2 pn...hehe..pojoe said that he could see 'Subway' from up there...
then, lepas penat hiking..kitorg g Puzzling World...amazing..very amazing...macam2 ade...nk describe pn xtau camne nk describe bout that place...ade macam2 gambar yg ade kaitan
ngan ilusi optic...pastu ade 1 room nih yg senget..semua benda dlm tu senget...even bila masuk pn rasa pening...than ade 1 hall nih where there are faces of popular people such as nelson mandela n madam teressa n many more (can't recall their names) surrounding the wall n then when u enter, it seems that their eyes are watching u as u move around the hall...there's another room where when u stand at 1 side...u would look much shorter than if u stand at the other side of the room (u'll notice it when u saw it on the camera or watching it from the outside window) <--hope u all get what i'm trying to explain here..huhu
then there's a maze (ala2 harry potter nye maze but it's made of wood rather than bushes)...kitorg main 'sapa smpai all 4 of the towers yg ade at every corners tu dulu'...mmg best n pening nk cr jalan dia...(mat nye group mng that maze!)..n not to mention toilet dia..where ade painting besar outside the toilet which shows the ancient Rome toilet (gmbar org buang air rmai2...tu pn jd attraction utk kitorg bergambar..haha)
then before heading to Te Anau..kitorg singgah makan kebab (ade kedai turkish jual kebab halal kt situ)...kalah Subway kt sebelah tu..even pojoe pn xpandang Subway..haha...sejuk2 kitorg makan kt luar kedai tu...then bila dh kenyang..br kitorg continue our journey to Te Anau
