PYO cherries. It's that time of the year when you get to pick your own cherries at the nearby farms. They go as cheap as 8 dollars per big bag....which is lot more cherries than I've eaten my whole life. I used to dislike cherries, but after tasting one of these juicy plump succulent God's creation.....I fell in love

Elfayra Raihanah
Fay merenung jauh teringatkan kampung halaman. She's pretty much settled here for the time being. Next year we're going to send her to daycare. She haven't had any experience being away from us yet, unlike Radhi who's been at play school back home. Don't you just wanna nibble at those plump toes of her??...heheh. She's been eating very well since we got here. Eats almost everything we gave her.
This is in the city centre, next to the avon river. This is the first time we went to the city since we first landed in Chch. It was actually cool weather, but my two kids selamba je, makan aiskrim lagi. Mak bapak diorang yang terkulat2 sejuk. City centre not too bad, more or less like kuala terengganu je.......seriously......no seriously. But much cleaner of course, and more scenic with all the flowers and stuff. After 3 weeks here, my level of awe has gradually decreased from "wow!!".......to "oh". Maybe in the next two weeks it will become a "hmm" . But come autumn then it's a different cycle again......heheh. So far the weather (weather report essential here) has been like a roller coaster, one time its so cold your limbs froze, then next 8 hours or so it's so hot you get sunburned.....really.....no really!

Slides in New Zealand are very very tall. But somehow it only took Radhi a couple of minutes to get used to it. Today we cooked tomyam, bought frozen shrimp at the market. Takde la nak jumpa fresh ones at the market like back home. Boleh tahan jugak rasa dia, took the lemon from our yard to make it more masam.

Tapi yang pasti lepas ni ice lemon tea amik lemon dr pokok....heheh.....peach halves buat sendiri....kena beli buku how to bottle your own fruits....heheh

Botanical Garden
We reached the park at about 6pm. Parked way outside Hagley Park, dekat tepi museum. Waktu jalan masuk temp was 20degrees (cant stop talking bout the weather aren't I?). Cold and windy but my son Radhi said he felt hot, made me wonder how thick his skin is. This photo was taken at the bridge entering the botanical park. Since it was already 6, the lighting's not so good. Org lain semua sejuk except for Radhi

Auckland airport
Fay main kat jalan
Notice the car at the back? That's our new car........hahah....gotcha. We are renting the car for 20dollars a day, apparently the owner is back for a holiday at home. He's selling it for NZD7k plus plus......quite cheap considering the condition...and of course cheaper than home. This is our's host's house. Here every house have their own garden, in spring all the flowers bloom. Kalau rumah tak penah jaga pun dia akan keluar bunga jugak. Mostly people here are avid gardeners. Thats why I added to the tagline "chrischurch the garden city" with another phrase......."the city of gardeners". Looks like I have to join in the fray if I wanna rent a property.
