So I went to Christchurch for a short break.
We hadn't really been back to Christchurch for 5 years except for those transits or one-day business trips that didn't really offer much time to enjoy this beautiful city. It was a 3-day break, so we took this opportunity driving around, taking photos.
Christchurch has changed a great deal with some shopping malls undergone an almost complete facelift, and some infrastructure make-overs. We revisited places we had lived and areas that we frequented during our naive campus lives, feeling all nostalgic about it. Through out my 5 years campus life here, a lot of stories started in this place, and some ended here. There were laughters, there were tears. It is here that Rick and I first met, started our story....and it is also here that we said our goodbye putting an end to that story...and now, we are here, hand-in-hand reminiscing about the past. It's funny how life has turned out to be! (^_^)
ANYWAY! Enough for the nostalgic talk. How about walking down the memory lane with me aye? Photos time that is!

Hi Doreen, beautiful pics. Well taken too. I guess down under you guys are getting into Spring while we getting into winter.
I guess X'mas can be warm there, huh?
Hey Doreen, I understand that movie, "last Samurai" was made in NZ? Which paart of NZ? Also they have left the Japanese house and various props still there for tourists?
You sure look good in that mini tartan, Doreen. Nice legs too, whoooHooo! UL.
Thank you. Thank you. :)
You should have made an MTV, with songs in the background, like the karaoke songs. Vey nice background.
the pictures so nice ler...and u too~
ilovepearly:
Yep, especially during spring and summer. Must spend more time outdoor! (^_^)
u.lee:
Hello uncle lee. Yeah, no white christmas here but warm and sunny one, and dead quiet two. Wellington turns into a dead town during Christmas, everyone away on holiday!
The "Last Samurai" was filmed in a town called New Pymouth. You know the Mt Fuji in the film right, it is actually called Mt Taranaki, located in New Pymouth! I went there a year ago, and there was no sight of the village/Japanese house. Either they've been taken down or I went to the wrong spot! Hehehe
eastcoastlife:
MTV? Wah~~that too advance and me an IT idiot dunno how leh.
kenneth:
