I'm back!! The last week was incredibly well spent making our way through windy mountains and snowy slopes, eating everything that's worth eating in Queenstown, and soaking up the immense beauty that is New Zealand. Just wanted to share a few of my favourite pics from the week, though I didn't really take all that many coz I was concentrating more on staying upright! There's a bajillion more on facebook for anyone who's left wanting!
Introducing to you my snow-buddies:
Joel (Joely) Chong, Muzza (MacGyver) Cheng, Ken (Oh Kenny!) Lee....
Lynzy Kow(poo)..
Viv (Twist & Shout) Fung, Chrissy (red bull gives me wings) Cheung...
...and Jubby (why so serious?) Kim.
Views from the road to Coronet Peak, Queenstown
The gorgeous slopes of Cadrona, Wanaka
Look it's me!! I'm a starfish snow angel :)
Meanwhile...Ken fashions himself a mighty odd-shaped snowball from the untouched back country slopes of Cardrona. Mighty spectacular views from here...
...obviously the perfect setting for a snowfight!!
Try this next time there's no kitchen facilities. Eggs + Kettle. Bring to boil. Thank you MacGyver!
By day we lived on Up&Go, muesli bars, chocolate, and fried potatoes. By night, we ate like royalty at a burger joint. If you ever end up in Queenstown, go and find your way to Fergburger, I promise you won't be disappointed.
The scene as we walked by the lake on our last day...
And a frankie-esque snap from a cute organic cafe called 'Bob's Weigh'.
Byeee!!!!

Your photos are stunning as usual - I love the scenic ones especially, the colors are amazing. Some of them look like oil paintings!

tammy: hello! you're back too! Didn't really concentrate on taking photos much, most of these were taken out of car windows or hurriedly just coz I wanted to put my gloves back on!! They were on the D70 with kit lens coz I didn't want to bring any of my good stuff for fear I would hurt my babies!! I like the 3rd last the best too, that was taken on Queenstown lake as we wakled to find ourselves some brunch :)
zabby: okay i shall email you tonight! you should go ski sometime too. Good luck with all your animation!
irma: the colours are a bit pumped but who cares hhehe, I had to do justice to what my eyes saw!
