Christchurch Day I

After a long wait, I finally found some time to blog bout my trip to Christchurch, New Zealand. It would be in parts which I divide it to the amount of days I was there. But please be patience for I can't do it all in a day ^_^

I went to Christchurch with my family for my mum has a conference there. We flew from Penang to Christchurch via SIA. We departed from Penang at 10.30am and reached Singapore for transit at 12noon. Then we were stuck in Changi Airport (pronounce with the "h" sound missing) for 7 hours -_-" SO MUCH time to kill. So we went for a free tour around Singapore which I fell asleep due to the bullshit. The guide can't even say Malaysia. When he talk about neighbouring country, he choose the farthers and would not even name Malaysia.

Moving on. It was bout nearly 8pm that we board the 10+ flight to Christchurch. The food was fantastic on the way there. I love the breakfast the most. Just look at it:


There were a lot of movies to be watch but I kinda watch till got bored so I took out the camera again and took a picture of myself and also the view outside the window. Notice the snow on the window???

 

We finally reach Christchurch and it was drizzling there. The temperature was minus zero -_-" As I talk, I can see vapor coming out of my mouth. It is so cool ^_^ We then took the cab to Rydres
Hotel which was situated in Cathedral Square. It is the center of town and everything was within walking distance.



Later in the evening, I went out with my parents as my brother slept in the room. We went out looking for the Convention Centre where my mum would be attending her conference. I was surprise how close it was but with the wind blowing and it was still drizzling, it was freaking cold. My ears was frozen and my bone is shivering. I was wearing a thick jacket and a winter jacker over my t-shirt. Here is a picture of the Connection Bridge at the Convention Centre.



There was nothing much that we did for the first day for we were just settling down and adjusting to the 4 hours jetlag. So we turn in to sleep early. I got the sleep on this beautiful big bed ^_^
