BUNGYYYYY!!!!!!!!

When I had long hair and all the guts in the world!!!! I still have guts hahaha. But seriously one of THE most spontaneous decisions of my life. Just coz my skydive cancelled, I told myself I cannot do nothing today so bungy it was.

Exactly the same time in April when I was doing one of the most awesome trips in my entire life - Campervan Road Trip in South Island, New Zealand.

There are some days when I look back, and I honestly cannot imagine that I'd done any of the things I did. And they are all memories I'll keep so precious with me.

Haven't blogged about the fantastic trip on this blog yet, but here are some pictures~~ Reminiscing time.

I HOW CHIOOOO

Smug smile- like I'm here and where are you sucka?

The lake was so clear, the weather was sunny with the wind blowing my hair, nature's hair dryer = Perfect.

My first whale watching.

Oh wow.... I actually took such an awesome photo!!

My crazy friends.

My favourite and first blonde girl friend I ever made, Diana.

We actually only met her during the campervan trip LOL. I miss meeting friends so casually and spontaneously on trips like that. We keep in contact through what else, but FACEBOOK!

Best black-german friend hahahah.

We homies yaw.

One of my best Korean buds at Uni heehee.

Anyway look at the huge ass ice cream, I ate it all on MY OWN. Fattest period of my life hahahaha. No restraints when it came to food then.

The most beautiful place in the world to me.... Lake Alexandrina.

I had the most scenic-gasm here.

If I could bring one place from NZ back to SG, it'd be this place.

I told myself.. I cannot forget this place and I must smell, breathe, absorb and take it all in while I was there.

Insane looking skies.

Best scenic hiking spot.

Mountains and mountains and more mountains... I was.. In Paradise.

Ew, my hair was sooo long it's so weird. It looks like a skunk's tail gross hahha

Best decision to cut it off. I suck at maintaining my hair :S

Accidental snap before I opened my eyes.

Cycling.

It was almost the end of our campervan trip, we were to return to our hostels at school soon after this.

I remembered feeling quite angsty coz being the only Asian, goodness I had to deal with a lot of shit from angmohs hahaha. Cultural differences can be a big thing, but I learnt a lot from my experiences with them.

And this is when the cheese starts oozing,

But I formed friendships that last beyond time immemorial~~

I think I used that phrase wrongly but it sounds nostalgic so what the heck!

After my time on exchange in New Zealand last year, I've been a strong advocate to anyone who's been thinking of going on exchange... Travelling really helps you to open your eyes to a lot of things, helps you discover a lot more about yourself and teaches you so much that staying in your own comfort zone can never do.

Also, travelling alone helps you to do that.

I think if you go with a bunch of friends from your own home country, it won't be as insightful a journey for you because the extent that you'd allow yourself to stretch and seek is limited.

Coz you know you'll always have something and someone to fall back on. But when you're out there on your own, you force yourself to do things you're not comfortable with. It takes a lot of pushing and inner strength, but once you do it, you'll be so damn proud of yourself. Everything would be worth the while.

I would love to do it again when I find that I need some soul searching~~ haha. No lah, I'm not going towards the Eat Pray Love thang. But yeah, it's not something I'd constantly do coz it takes quite a bit of courage and strength that I currently am not exercising.

When it comes, it comes : )

I'm sure you've read many articles on travel, but you just have to get out there and do it to understand what it's like and experience amazing things for yourself.

To more exciting travels and adventure in life people!!!
