More than a week of hiatus..

So sorry for the non-posts during the past 1 week or so! Was away on a company trip to New Zealand and did not manage to post anything during that period of time. Free wi-fi was hard to come by, and when we did manage to leech on someone's network (I know, it's wrong!), it's only for a while to check our emails and do a bit of facebook-ing.

It's been fun though. Even though I'm not a sporty person, I got to try the Luge (the advanced route was fun!) and white water rafting (something which I was very worried of before the trip, but it turned out to be exciting and incredibly fun!) with my colleagues.

To make up for the quietness in my blog last week, here are some photos that I'd taken at New Zealand for you to ogle at.. =P

Oops, I think this post is a little too image-obese! =X Haha.. But anyway, I've been to New Zealand during winter before, and I must say, New Zealand in early autumn feels and looks totally different. I would say the wintry version of the same mountain looks more magnificent somehow. And it seems to be easier to spot a beautiful mirror lake during winter than autumn...

Pretty mirror lake...

Interesting clouds forming over the mountain top

The awesome but sometimes treacherous Lindis Pass

Reached Queenstown! Taken from our hotel room at The Rees Hotel.

Our dinner..... Yeah, it was pretty late and the nearest eating place/supermarket was about 30 minutes of walking distance away... So we just made do with junk food and kiwi fruits..
