Ex Thunder Warrior

Back from the Land of the Kiwi.

Experiencing the 16 days there in a whole new climate was breathtaking.

I, myself, don't even know where to begin.

I shall just let the pictures do the talking. The order of the pics will be scattered in no particular order.


The makeshift bunk, with 1 foldable bed, 1 aluminium casket for ur belongings n 3 blankets to call ur home

The lone flower



Feels like Mt. Fuji

One of the many geysers that can spurt sulphuric farts



One of the many picturesque town where I took a gondola up and a Luge ride



13th tallest tower in the World



Posing with the Sky Tower


I got tonnes of photos as you can see.

Lots of stuff to say which I shall just spurt out in gibberish order:

~ learn much more about being an FO
~ I love the freezing cold weather, just hate the WIND
~ Clouds maketh my day
~ I hate political backstabiing
~ I'm a non-conformist, and like to do what I like
~ I don't like being in cities aka Auckland always having the feeling that I'll get robbed all the time
~ The smell of sulphur repels moi
~ I love NZ combat rations esp the choccies

I enjoyed my time there, killing boredom with TERRORIST BOY, TAN CHING CHONG and DIM SUM LIM.

You guys made the OP bearable.

You really need humour to survive outfield man.

Coming back, went to Chinatown to pack in the crowds.

It was hot. Sweaty. and Disgusting.

And some lady almost accuse me of molesting her.

Oh plz... (roll eyes....)

Anyway. Photos. = )


Obligatory decorations



I have no idea what it all means



Very cute dancing mini lions



Throngs n Throngs of Sweaty people



With pals Jacque n Ben



My first honouary pic with Dowager Ann



The gang that survived sweaty armpits, shoving bodies and Chinatown!


Feels so good to be back in Singapore.

Looking forward to Hong Baos.

Gong Xi Fa Cai,
Benjamin
