Ashburton --> Lake Hood --> Oamaru --> Otago --> Caitlins

Dear Dayre,
Trying out the Window's edition of Dayre!! *hmmmm* it's alright, but I have problem with the scrolling part.


Oh well, it's time for some #throwback post!
After #Akaroa , I stayed a night at #Ashburton . Well, nothing much to do here except the #domain but it's a beautiful walk. *in terms of walking aimlessly*
Then, a short drive and you will end up at #LakeHood where you can see the beautiful autumn trees. Very nice place for a picnic too! Except some #gravelroad that you need to drive along to reach there.
Before checking in to my hostel at #Oamaru , I drove along the #peninsula to watch the #sunset and hoping there's luck to catch some #penguins 😊😊😊
I like the decoration part of Oamaru. Very #victorianstyle mix #vintage . Although the weather isn't really promising that day, but I still manage to go for some walk along the street.
Then, I bough this cheap ticket and went to #steampunk for some creep. Hahaha! The receptionist was very nice and the whole place is kinda creepy, especially when you are walking alone. But #theportal is just #mesmerising . I even walk in to the Portal twice. Hahaha!


Thanks for the souvenir too! Just to avoid the heavy rain I sat there and talked to the receptionist for some time and he gave me a steampunk pin!
When the rain subside, I continue my walk along the shop houses and some #artgallery
Before the sun sets, I managed to head straight to #otagopeninsula for a short walk before head back to the hostel.


The cloudy weather closes the beautiful view. One of the reason I don't like rainy days anymore. I used to love it a lot back in Malaysia because of the hot and humidity, but not when I'm in NZ.
Since the weather was bad, I went and visit the #museum . Well, just like any other museums, the culture and displays are more or less the same. Definitely not as huge as the one in Wellington.
After all the informations at the museum, I drove down to #Caitlins and stop by at the short #track to the #LoversLeap . Yes, the picture does look obscene.
Some of the #bays and #beaches where you can spot HUGE #sealions sleeping.
1 of the must go place is the #tunnelbeach . If you can make it in time for the low tide, it will be best, as then you can walk along the beach to some of the beautiful rocks.
There's a tunnel obviously, or else it won't be called the Tunnel Beach. HAHAHA!
Along the way to Caitlins, you will come across a #shoefence , where people hang their #boots or #shoes . I shouldn't have thrown my sneakers away, then I will be able to hang mine here too!!
When you reached Caitlins, one of the must see thing is #NuggetPoints !!~ Honestly, I don't know why but seems like everyone wanna get here to get this shot. *hmmmmm*
Going down from the Nugget Point, I stopped by at #RoaringBay , in hope of getting a chance to see some penguins. I waited for hours and only 1 penguin appear from the sea. and it's so far and tiny I wish I have a binocular.
The view from my #backpackers at Caitlins. Just right beside the entrance of #SuratBay
Small #town where you can grab your groceries and then take a look at the #teapot #garden before continuing your journey at Caitlins. In my opinion, it's a very beautiful place, except everywhere is gravel road. Make sure you drive carefully and get your tyres checked before and after the trip.
#PurakaunuiFalls
#lookout point where I met this Swiss kid who is high on pots. Then, we both have to start running and looking for shelter as it begins to hail.
Clouds that show it's raining and hailing. So, we got no choice but to spend a night at a very expensive backpackers at the #hilltop
That's the end of my May #journey . Next up will be my June's journey where Mr. Jason is finally here to accompany me for my #westcoast travel!! *wootz wootz*


Till next time!




Luv,
*rachelle*

Lifestyle of the Broke and the Boring!!

Dear Dayre,


Wow! It's been a year and a month since I last came back from #NewZealand #Aotearoa . I still miss the place so so much!! Well, dearest promised to bring me back there next year, so let's just keep my fingers crossed that the trip is still on. HAHAHAHA!!! *GOSH* I don't even know where to begin right now. *hmmmmm*



Let's say my #hiatus is definitely not due to me being all busy. It's just purely #lazy and #procrastinate and by the time I want to start a #post , it's time for bed. HAHAHA!! Not very motivating 'aite? Apart from being a #couchpotato , I've been #paranoid about every single thing and I'm making my life very difficult now T___T
Since I don't have a car today and (as usual) I'm lazy to drive out for lunch, decided to make #pasta for #lunch before the handyman come to fix the air-conditioner. At least, #fusilli with left over #tuna is better than instant noodles. Lucky thing, dearest said it's nice! *smile* Yes, what can go wrong with pasta right? But for someone who doesn't cook, and burnt the kitchen with fried egg, anything can happen. ~I believe in miracle!~
Alright, this is me trying to be all #healthy ! Started this drink couple of weeks ago. It's #Kinohimitsu #Superfood #Lady !!! Trust me, I thought it's gonna taste all healthy with #multigrains and all, but it's not. It actually tastes quite #delicious and not to mention that it's #pink in colour!! Dearest thought it was colouring but it's actually the #beetroot that makes the colour. This pinkalicious all plant-based multigrain beverage is fortified with #Calcium and #Iron, combined with Beetroot, #Cranberry, #RedDate and #Longan that work together in a perfect state of harmony to fit every woman.
So, every #thursday , #starbucks is having a #promotional deal where you buy a #summerdrink and you get a #tallcoldbrew for #free !!! Being the #cheapskate me, I dragged Mister to the nearest Starbucks after lunch so I can still be a #hipster . 🤣🤣🤣 However, the old uncle is not into all this thing, but just to accompany me so I don't nag him.
Found a place for nice Johor-ian #food at #ttdi , D'Cengkih. #dayrefoodie We just managed to try the #laksajohor and the #meerebusjohor and it was delicious, especially the #kuah , definitely gave some wing to the taste.
Got a call! Time to head home! It's #moviedate tonight, hence, to-be-continued.



Luv,
*rachelle*

Upsetting Day Unleashed the Shopaholic in Me

Dear Dayre,


Have you ever wonder where #feelings come from? Well, I definitely never thought about that until now. It's like why can't I just shut it all off? It's all inter-linked anyway. If I don't feel happiness, then I won't feel disappointment, upset nor care or love. Wouldn't everything be fine if it can be shut off?



Oh well, pardon my #melodramatic thoughts. It's the #hormone that's speaking. HAHAHA!! *yeapz* Perks of being a woman, blame it all on the hormones. Well, I haven't been feeling much of myself yesterday. It was an upsetting day for me, hence, the walks and the shopping and the food.
*tadaaaaaa* For the first time, I ate 10 bowls at #BoatNoodles . Actually it's not because I was very hungry, but it's because I accidentally ordered too many and I didn't realised it until the food is served. 😑😑😑
I also managed to try the new #tiramisu #icecream !! But the sad part is it dropped on the floor.......of my car........ half of it. 😒😒😒


It was bad, I have to clean it up because the coffee powder got stuck on the carpet as well. *urghhhhh* Super messy. However, it's not something to be wowed about. No wonder the crowds died like on the 2nd week. A bit quick, I have to say.
Then, of course I went and visit the newly opened #EtudeHouse and got myself some #freebies !! *wooohoooo* 😍😍😍


And obviously I bought something as well, which is the #lipmasks ! My lip had been quite dry recently, maybe due to my lack of drinking water and using of #lipbalm .
And how can I say no to this cute little #pink #lipstick !!!! Yes, I'm a sucker for such stuff. At least it made me happier for a short period of time.
Came home and decided to try making my own #overnightoats . Again!!! I think I made too much. 😑😑😑


Very simple recipe, #oats , #yogurt , #milk (but I put #soy instead), #chiaseeds , #linseeds , #sunflowerseeds and #almonds . It looks pretty before I stirred it all up and put in the fridge to store for a night.



This morning, it was so much it filled me up for #breakfast and #lunch . Maybe next time I only make half of the bottle.
Since, I'm doing all the #diy stuff, might as well I make myself a #lipscrub instead of spending RM50 to buy one. Hahaha! #cheapskate


Yet another simple #recipe of fine granulated #sugar , #coconutoil and #honey . Mixed it all in a bowl and transfer them to a small container and keep it in the fridge to last longer. Malaysia is a very humid country. 😏😏😏
In addition to all that, to end my #night from feeling all #emo , I pampered myself with a #facemask !!! (it's actually just me being hardworking for once...the mask had been there for quite sometime).
While doing my mask, my mind keeps thinking on lotsa things. I think I'm done waiting and I don't like the feeling of being in distance. If that's how it's going to be, I think it's time for me to think of what to do and to move on. This will be the hardest part. I like to make things clear but not when the other party is not ready to listen and talk. What should I do?


Luv,
*rachelle*

End of the Miserable Month, and Hopefully a New Start

Officially, the end of the worst month of the year, AUGUST! *goshhhhh* I think the bucket of tears I shed would fit my 3 years quota. Definitely not as happy as I thought it's going to be, but I guess I have no choice, do I?


Alright, let's leave the miserable month on it's on and hopefully there's going to be a start of something new on my #birthday month!!!! 😬✌🏻



#throwback on some of my #boringlife last month.....
Finally, I tried #nasilemak bumbung!! *hmmmm* Honestly, i still prefer the one near PJ. The #sambal is nicer. ☺️☺️☺️ #dayrefoodie
Then, I went Forêt Blanc. Omigosh!! It's so expensive!!! But I do love the #unicorn #icecream 😍😍😍 Mister got no choice but to fulfil my #cravings but it's definitely my first and last time there.
They do have a lovely #peony drink but it's too gasy for my liking. I just burped a lot. 🤣🤣🤣
Mister tried to bring me back to my #unilife where I was staying in Subang. So, we wanted to eat the pork noodle, but the wait was an hour. He said let's move on. 🤣🤣🤣🤣


We went to #unclesengnoodle which is just a couple of doors to the right. Still the same taste like how we had it back in the uni. And it's @joyceteh all time favourite #noodle 😊😊😊
One of the weekend was sweet enough for Mister to make me #breakfastinbed 🤣🤣🤣 Yes, it was a rare moment! Very much need to pen it down before I forgot. My memory isn't serving me very well recently.


Of course, I always wanted to update my dayre but I ended up falling asleep and #procrastinate my arse off.
Since I had leftover rice from last night, #friedrice it is! I thought it was too little, so I made myself some drink and had bananas after that. Now I'm #bloated !!!! Like a whale, laying on my couch. 😑😑😑
While waiting for Mister to come back, I'm gonna watch #TheOriginals ! Hahaha! Just started this #drama #series and I'm hooked! Already in Season2 now, actually more than half of Season2. Mister said it's a little bit too gruesome for me to be watching that considering my current situation, but of well! Got #hottie inside!!! 😍😍😍

Did I mentioned I fell for the #gimmick from #YSL ?? Yes, I queued to get my #rougepurcouture #engrave with my name on it.
The #yummilicious of #godiva ice-cream. Another expensive piece of #desserts that Mister would let me try. But this is exceptionally delicious!!!! Hehehe!! I don't mind having another cone of dark chocolate. 😚😚😚
Time to shower and get ready for my dessert trip before I head to dinner with my aunts.


Until then, またね !




Luv,
*rachelle*
