Wellington, Capital City of New Zealand

Finally, it happened...

Roughly 8000KM south of Malaysia, the place I am in this very moment, New Zealand, the country which The Lord of The Ring was shot, the place which has been dubbed The Middle Earth, and I am here, can you believe it?

We, ten of us, left Malaysia at on 5th of Feb, 3.40 pm in the afternoon by Malaysian Airline with much anxiety, the airport was crowded with people by the time I arrived (which I was already late for 20 minutes, sorry friends!) we checked in as a group, settled the over-loaded-luggage-but-refuse-to-pay-the-fine problem, and started our journey south to NewZealand, one of 2 country which is right under the Southern-Cross (a constellation, which is right above the sky of New Zealand and Australia, and that's why there are a four stars on the ntional flag of Australia and New Zealand, Crossed).

We flew from Malaysia to Singapore for a Transit flight to Auckland, New Zealand, waited for 4 hours in the famous Changi Airport, Singapore, before boarding the boeing 737, Air New Zealand at 8.30 pm. The Captain of the Giant-Iron-Bird Mr Smith announced that we were going to shot up to an altitude of 33,000 m and stay there for roughly 9 hours before plunging back to a low 200 m altitude and land in Auckland, the weather was great in Auckland that day...

The jet slowing move to the runway, like an old man having a stroll in the evening, as soon as the plane reached the major runway, it suddenly burst from an initial speed of 20 km/hour to an amazing speed of 200++ km/hour, before we know it, we were airborn...

After 15 hours, I am sitting in my senior's house's room, with the light burn out, all exhauted... struggling to finish this post... I'll see you guys soon...
