Its December!!!! Woohoo!!!! Its the month of christmas (christ - mass), celebration of christ in mass (ppl). This year there is so many trials and walls to climb over which help me to grow so much more than I thought I could have. I have so many reason to be thankful to so many people that I hope I can pass this thankfulness unto other ppl. The world is dark, we must not run away from that truth but in the darkness, let us shine brightly : ) Final Exam wasn't too bad, actually I did manage to focus much better compare to the first sem : ), after that, send many ppl off to the airport - Jason, James and Bart. So the few who remain, we went to watch movie - 2012, it was actually a really good movie, was qute suprise about that. two thumbs up to the director. But before the movie, I went to SLC, actually I walk to SLC with 6 ppl from MUCF (massey uni christian fellowship) or rather I join them. So let the pic story begin: 
The nite before, went out with friends 4 dinner and then ice cream.
Btw, I move out of my hall to a house. Next year onwards I will be staying with Hon and Danny.
We found a nice cozy home : )
I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream : )
I also bought a new bike to bike to uni next year. Might help me cut down on a few kg, hahaha.
It cost me 150 dollars for a good brand new bike from green bike thrust.
So this is us, the ppl who are walking to Palm Grove, Paraparauma in three days, from left:
Daniel, Zain, Debby, me, Raxanne and MUCF's V.P. Hannah (also walk organizer).
And we are in the massey rec center car park. Everyday we start the walk around 8.30am.
We stop like 3 times a days, for morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea. Walking on concrete is very painful. Hiking on otaki range is much easier for me.
Here we meet out little friend, we called stig, he hitch-hike with us for a while until he dicided we were't cool enough for then he took off without saying goodbye.
When you're travelling in a car, its hard to stop and look at the scenary.
Walking helps to notice stuff, check out the big fish.
I forgot when I learn this lesson but when you do something, always make time for stuff and that time is only for that stuff and nothing or almost ntg is allowed to interfere. Many ppl still like to do so many stuff at once, is there a hunger to satisfy by finishing faster??? Is doing more stuff in less time gonna rid you of things to do???
Hehe, here is us chilling out, did not want to lied down cuz my jacket is while. T_T
Hannah our leader has a Mary Poppin Bag, she carries with her so much stuff, I'm like (Jaw drop), she carries 2 litre of water, 2 bags of cookies, a super larger medical kit. She is one tough cookie in my opinion.
Do you know how we got this shot, the camera man had to run forward, set the camera and then run back, lol.
During the walk, I had the chance to reflect on my self the past year as well as gotten to bond with the kiwies.
The first night we stay was at a church in Shannon, had fish and chips.
Adam had a monster burger : )
I had my first deep fried moro bar, not bad. A deep fried chocalate bar.
The muffin above is a special muffin, some1(can't rememeber who) placed their muffin on the counter above and when the owner returned, it was gone.
It was a missing muffin case!!!!
We found the culprit after a long shouting interegation across the hallway.
And the culprit is............ everybody, every1 took a bite from that muffin, includind me and the actual owner. haha. Oh, and we brought ketchup along with us.
The next day, we had lunch in Levin, nice place. Ntg much, Debby had strained her muscle so we called in help, Adam. Adam wanted to walk with us but he had to drive the Debby. And then there was 5. (5 ppl left)
We stop at this little place for morning tea I think, had a little farm on it.
Weather was looking pretty bad, was hoping that it would not rain plus weather forecast said that chances of raining was very high for the next three days and the three days we travel nothing pour down. Thx God, put it on my tab of unreturnable favours.
So we walk in.
Meet Mr.Black, James had left momo at michael's place but I get the the chance to care for it.
James, when r u coming back???
After the walk, we had to move on so that we can reach our next destination before sundown.
Time was against us, we had to speed it up.
Lunch break, we had crash into some1 pre-party, ppl were setting up the place and we wanted somewhere warm to have a quick lunch, so we ask politely as we barge in and seated ourselves but move out in 5mins due to our conscious.
Nite 2 was at Lake forrest and if your wondering whether there is actually a forrest and lake??? Yes, there is a forrest and lake there. We played some pool, the floor was uneven, we used gold stick for cue stick, we had fun playing around. Oh and dinner was awesome : ) we had mince lamb and nachos (with sour cream and cheese obviously)! And there was no heater as well if your asking.
Next day, rise and shine, beautiful day. The owner told us a short cut, help a lot. We should be reaching palm grove by evening that day.
On the last day while we were walking, some1 drop this box of fruit 4 us, lol, so random and so mysterious, definately help made our trip more fruitful.
We decided to bring the box with us for proof but we kinda lost it. All of us had sunburn but I was covered up the most so mine wasn't too bad, only on my ears.
Us reaching paraparauma.
Some1 knew we were coming and inform a local friend to come and greet and cheer us on.
Reaching the final, the last stretch felt so long cuz it was so near. When we reach, WOW is all I can say. We DID IT!!! But this was only the beginning. SLC haven't even begun to start yet.
After a good dinenr, I went to shower to find a little friend of mine, he was quite big, I thought it was a first day pratical joke at first but turns out to be quite real. Did I mention he was big???
The camp site was big, had lots of stuff to do. It had a swimming pool, its own flying fox, a small hiking area, a pool house.
This is the last day, can't be bother trying to blog everything, I will never publish this if that happens. Last day, each region group had their time to do their own thing.
We discuss first and discuss and discuss (most on what we learn and how we gonna apply) then we left for town to murk around.
The night before we got the chance to murk around with the musical instruements, woho.
Found a lot of stuff about ppl I din know about.
Stop, get ready to stop and go.
What do they look like, teletubbies??? : )
Dun Ask.
ok, that's was the SLC.
And finally to every1, this is my little niece. According to my sis, I have to list names for her that ryhmes with Lam. Anyway, now I am a uncle : )
Many things to teach her, like couch potatoing, computer games, gaming console, basketball and lots more (and some times if have to teach her moral stuffs... grumble... grumble)
Anyway, the last 3 movies that I have watch were about world war 2, I did NOt know that the stories of each movie before hand, it was ( in order, valkyrie, IP man and inglorious bastard).
Maybe some1 out there is trying to tell me something.
Also, have finally started work, I start at 6am in the morning and finsih by 12am, what a good schedule, I still have half a day to do as I wish. The boss is good as well, very patient.
YES!!!! I have finish afters days of work. C ya
