What is that little delight that brightens up cold days like this? This of course, my little winter comfort food. Yes, it’s kiwi season again! No, not that bird! The fruit! The green sourly fruit that makes our mouth water. Winter is the best time to savour this sour sweet fruit. The season normally starts in late May, early June. (I know, I know, I was meaning to write about this in June, terrible procrastinator that I am!)

Golden fruits of heaven! click photo to enlarge.

The kiwifruit is originally named Chinese Gooseberry that is native to Shaanxi, China. New Zealand popularised and renamed it the kiwifruit after its national icon, the kiwi bird, for export marketing purposes. The green kiwi fruit is the more common one, but the gold variation is widely available too. The gold kiwifruits are sweeter and hairless, it is also my favourite, so delectable! During kiwi season, prices can go as low as 99 cents per kilo. That’s about 6-8 fruits, nice huh?!

This is how the glutton devour her kiwis. click photo to enlarge.

This is how I enjoy my kiwifruits. I use a teaspoon to scope half at a time and have a mouth full. Very satisfying and refreshing to have that sourly sweet taste in one big bite (ok, now you know I’m a glutton with a big mouth who likes to procrastinate, heh!). It’s heavenly! Now, tell me, how do you have your kiwifruits?

*****

Here are some photos taken with my good old Sony Cybershot T30 point-and-shoot when we went down to Kiwi360 way back in 2005 (See what I meant? Incurable procrastinator strikes again!). It is a kiwifruit orchard that opens for public. They operate tours that bring you around the orchard in cute karts to explain the whole production. It’s great fun and a very educational experience!

click photo to enlarge.

Kiwi360 is located at Te Puke in the Bay of Plenty. It is about 3 hours drive from Auckland. A great detour from Rotorua if you’re in the area, it’s about 35 minutes drive from there. The place is extremely easy to spot, just look for the giant 4-storey high, giant Kiwifruit slice by the roadside! We certainly had lots of fun taking silly shots with it. Other tourists around must have thought we were a bunch of crazy people who had escaped from the psycho ward. LOL. This is certainly a nice place to visit if you’re planning a trip to North Island, New Zealand. It comes with cc’s seal of approval! (but please don’t come chasing me down with a stick if it didn’t turn out to be as nice as I described. )

The Maori named New Zealand Aotearoa for a reason. It means ‘The Land of the Long White Cloud’. Sky like this is a common scene all year round. With the cotton-candy-liked clouds hanging low and extending into the distance.

As you know it’s been one hell of a winter, with continuous rain and strong winds. Yesterday was surprisingly a pretty clear day.The above photos were taken then.

I marveled over the beautiful sky, looking forward to the good days to come.

It’s been a very wet and gloomy winter down under, raining more than usual. The weather pattern surely has changed dramatically in the past few years. Auckland weather can be very unpredictable. With the sun shining one minute, and gloomy clouds roaming the next. Climate over here is direct opposite to those in the northern hemisphere, with summer starting from December to February, autumn March to May, winter June to Aug and spring September to November. While the weather here is generally temperate, mainly maritime, summery sun can be quite unbearable. Though the general temperature seldom hits the 30 Celsius mark, the UV levels are very high due to its closer proximity to the sun at that time of the year. It is really not advisable to expose oneself under the hot sun for a prolonged period of time, even if sunscreens are applied.

Coming from the tropics, the thing I enjoy the most about living in the temperate climate is the many colours that comes with it. While summer is too harsh, winter too gloomy and spring too garish, autumn yields the perfect season for me. It is then when everything turns colourful and breezy. The whole town seems to turn into a big dazzling picture, with coolness in the air and leaves swaying on trees in shades/hues of reds and yellows. Even the most unromantic people will feel the poetic moments in the air. A walk in the park is most pleasurably at this time of the year. I always feel a little surreal emerging amongst the breezy air and splendid colours of the season. It never fails to amaze me.

On another note, forecast said another storm is heading our way. This gloomy winter weather is killing all my fun to get out of the house for some decent photo shoots. Somehow the sun only comes out occasionally during the weekdays and rains all day long in the weekends! The sky pretty much looks like the above picture lately, albeit a little less dramatic (what to do, I’m all about drama!), but still, gloom! I’m just going to roll into bed and hibernate.

Opened in 1840, Auckland Domain is the city’s oldest park. Situated in the city central, here you’d find the prominent Auckland Museum building and a heritage-protected winter gardens with temperate and tropical plants. There are also a few rugby fields and cricket grounds where you’ll find school boys training in warmer days.

I’ll just cut my rambling and let you feast your eyes on the lush wonderland.
Have a great weekend!
(as usual, you can click on the photos to enlarge them. )

Contrary to popular belief, this is not rambutan, it is a type of winter flower. It grows on the tree in the third photo.

See the rugby fields(with white poles) in the distance? This is a hardcore rugby crazed nation. Auckland Domain is also the location for the annual
Christmas in The Park.

As for the topic that is on everybody’s mind now, petrol hike. YES it’s pretty much the same over here, albeit not up 40% at one go, but gradually. Like 6 cents in 2 days for the latest increase. If I remembered correctly, it was about $1.30 per litre for regular unleaded around this time last year. Someone raised the possibility that it might go up to $2 per litre back then, but most people just brushed it off. Now, the price has peaked at $2.12 per litre and the thought of $3 per litre is becoming so horrifyingly real. A lot of secondhand car dealerships have already taken the hit and closed down in the past few months.

Don’t even get me started on food prices. A research done by NZ Herald in April showed that food prices have upped 28% in the last year and is continuing to soar. Although NZ is a agriculture-based country, the prices of dairy products have surprisingly shot through the sky, with cheese up 45.5 per cent, milk up 21.1 per cent, bread up 13.1 per cent and butter up by a gob smacking 86 per cent, all in one year! By the by, all these prices seem to be on their goal-setting road of soaring to new heights. There you have it, my rant of reality. Now let me go curl up in my blanket in my cold unheated room, as the cost of power has gone up as well. ARG!

First of all, let me establish some background info, for those who don’t know me. I’m a Malaysian Chinese from Johor. I first stepped foot on New Zealand soil in February 2000. That makes this my 9th year here. Obtained permanent resident status in 2004. Currently living in Auckland with my husband a.k.a. Mr K (who is also a Malaysian Chinese).

Now, for the no. 1 most-asked question. Do you see sheep everywhere? The answer is, no they are no wandering around everywhere. Though this is a country where the woolly creatures tip the scales over humans, they are mostly munching the grass in rural farms. You can spot these candy-flossy creatures along the highway while traveling into the greater region. You do find some scatter around the Cornwall park in Auckland city sometimes. They are not wild, if you are so tempted to take one home, their owner will hunt you down!

That’s how we get ‘em.

How about the Kiwi bird? Do they roam around town often? I believe I was once asked whether they taste nice! Contrary to popular belief, Kiwi birds are extremely fragile creatures and have been classified as a national treasure that is facing extinction. They are being highly protected and only can be seen in zoos or certain kiwi-theme parks, in quiet, dark rooms. They are night creatures, a flightless bird with long down-curve bill. They are stumpy and cute to look at in the dark, and no, you don’t get to hug and and take photos with them like you’d do with the koala. Heh.

A hot summer day at Mt Victoria, Devonport.

What’s the weather like? The seasons over here are the opposite of the northern region like the USA. Climate in Auckland is generally warmer and wetter in compared to other states. With temperatures of about 22-29 Celsius during summer, and about 5-16 Celsius during winter. So far, the hottest summer I’ve experienced in Auckland was 30 Celsius. It might seem nothing compare to Malaysia, but due to the positioning of the globe that time of the year, the solar radiation index (UVI) is often very high in most places and can be extreme in northern New Zealand. You’ll feel your skin burning if exposed directly under the sun for a long period of time. Auckland, being the City of Sails, is very windy. You can find out more about Auckland weather patterns here.

When kiwi meets wallaby…

Is NZ life similar to Australia? Though some said NZ shares a lot of similarities as its neighbor Australia, say that to the kiwis and see their faces turn red. I reckon the relationship between Kiwis and Aussies are similar to one that Malaysians and Singaporeans share. Their life and culture are similar but both think they are better off!

What about time zone? Why change the time twice a year? NZ time zone is UTC+12 and UTC+13 during daylight saving time. That’s 4/5 hours ahead of Malaysia accordingly. Over here, daylight saving commences on the last Sunday in September, where clocks go forward one hour at 2am; and ends on the first Sunday in April the following year, where clocks are put back one hour at 3am. Its purpose is for people to enjoy an extra hour of sunlight during summer months. It is especially of value for the farmers and those who need to seize the sunlight. The practice of daylight saving also makes summer months the best time to travel.

How about food? Can you get Asian food easily? If you have ever come down to downtown Auckland, you’d be surprised at the volume of Asian people around town. Over the years, as more and more Asian immigrants set up roots over here, good Asian cuisines also appear like mushrooms. Kiwis seem to embrace the many choices of food too! Of course, like in any other countries, there bound to be good and bad ones. A simple rule of thumbs for us is to observe the customers who patronize the eateries. If they are mostly Chinese people, meaning authentic food are being served. Otherwise, the restaurant is most likely there to cater for the western taste buds. There are also many Chinese grocers around town where you can find authentic Malaysian food like Aik Cheong 3 in 1 White Coffee Tarik, curry powder, Ayam brand chicken stock, kangkong, and even durian (albeit frozen lah) etc in stock. Of course, the choices are not as vast as back home, but it’s pretty good. Still, nothing beat the good old makan-makan back home, that’s what responsible for my weight gain every trip home! Well-worth it though. Haha.

I’ll write about the read hot topic of food crisis and petrol hikes another day. It’s just too painful for weekend reading. Have a great weekend y’all!

On a lighter note, a 20 year-old Christchurch student has gone creative and got lucky! He listed a ‘mystery item’ on the local auction site Trademe, the item generated a huge interest and after an initial bogus $1000 bid, it eventually sold for $440! All he wrote on the listing was ‘I will not describe this item in any detail, other than it is a physical item, i.e. it is REAL’.

What’s the mystery item? A freaking old $10 note! Haha, sucker! Once again, curiosity killed the cat! The seller did said he felt guilty the bidding went that high and decided to throw in an Armani belt though. According to the seller, the buyer has yet to contact him after learning about the ‘great deal’ he’s getting. Woops, look like someone’s not that lucky after all!

On the side note: Here’s a question. Do you really think every single advertising, say holiday promotion uses the exact photos taken in the said destination? Newsflash! All advertising agencies use stock images, and they choose the ones that suit the champaign best. Most of the time, they are not the same place! It’s all make believe! The most suitable pictures that depict the product in question are always chosen. Photos, so often are just a tool to give people a sense of what the company is marketing. Agencies use whatever that is most relatable and most eye-catching to promote their products. Why do you think Celcom used Leehom as their endorser? He’s not Malaysian and surely is not using Celcom network, but the campaign caught our eyes and it’s a success!

Saw this funny car plate frame on the back of the car that was parked in front of us in the parking lot the other day. Very smart and cool gift for mum with a sense of humour! Heh. These frames are pretty hip right now and are available in gift or novelty shops, you can even personalise one. Cost about NZ$20++.

Other than those, in New Zealand, you can also get personalised number plate for your car, any way you like. Letters, alphabets, a mixture, as long as they are within 6 characters. So you can see some interesting and funny personalised plates around. But with only 6 letters/alphabets, it’s a matter of creativity to come up with the combination you want. Of course, the cool ones like ‘beetle’ on a WV beetle, or ‘Elvis’ were taken up fast, so some people went around and came up with creative ways to the same effect, like’ FLYAWY’, ‘NFM0US’, ‘BSHARP’. There are also plates with creative combinations of numbers and alphabets, like ‘1 DOG 1′, ‘SW1FT’. Of course, good things come with a price tag, from NZ$400+. Interested? Now, tell me what cool combinations can you come up with?!

Talking about the race, what a cry baby Brad Butterworth turned out to be! Don’t know what I’m talking about? Read the following article.

*after the second race.
From The Times
June 25, 2007

New Zealand hit back hard by turning the tide against Alinghi
Matthew Pryor in Valencia

Emirates Team New Zealand�s momentous victory from behind against Team Alinghi, the defenders, yesterday levelled the series 1-1 and set up the possibility that the 32nd America�s Cup will be the greatest for a generation.

After the crushing defeat by Alinghi on Saturday, this was a remarkable reversal. All the more so as for the first half yesterday, the second race looked to be following the pattern of the first, as Alinghi were outmanoeuvred at the start, but surged past New Zealand in apparently the same airs. Yet Saturday�s 35sec defeat became a 28sec victory. The third race in this best-of-nine event is tomorrow.

Not since 1983, when Australia II beat Dennis Conner�s Liberty 4-3 to take �The Auld Mug� away from America for the first time since the race began in 1851, has a team come back to win the America�s Cup from 1-0 down. The past three America�s Cups � 1995, 2000 and 2003 � have been won 5-0. But New Zealand�s recovery suggests that although the America�s Cup is a �design race�, New Zealand have not been completely outdesigned. A long port tack in the second upwind leg was decisive. They showed both skill and nerve to hold on and take advantage of the windshift. Alinghi went right and the wind went left.

If it turns out to be about windshifts, Alinghi appear to be feeling the pressure and some of the toys came out of their expensive pram. Brad Butterworth, the 48-year-old skipper, railed against �spectator wash� and stormed out of the press conference. In other sports he would have been fined, but billionaire-bankrolled teams manage to make themselves look amusingly amateurish sometimes.

�It is an issue when you�re in their wake and a washing machine,� Butterworth said. �We gybed at the top in a favourable shift and we didn�t get the gain we expected. Maybe you can put pressure on these wallies [the Cup management] to get them off the course.�

Much to everyone�s amusement, Butterworth said that he did not mind losing the start, because Alinghi had wanted the left anyway. Ed Baird, the Alinghi helm who has been prevented from talking, has been absent at both starts and yesterday was humiliated by Dean Barker, the New Zealand skipper and helm.

Barker sailed over the bow of Alinghi in the prestart � the five minutes of positioning for the line � seizing the right and Alinghi�s turn for the favoured starboard tack. But in lighter winds of eight to ten knots with less lumpy chop in the sea, Alinghi excelled and sailed over the top of New Zealand.

They were 19sec and three boat lengths clear by the first mark. Alinghi lost six seconds downwind, where they had looked lethal the day before, but appeared to be in control. They tacked too early, as Butterworth admitted, lost 28sec on the leg and could find no shift to take them past New Zealand downwind. Too often the outcome of the America�s Cup is decided in the first ten minutes of the first race. However, this time it may be that each race will not be decided in the first ten minutes.

There will be no repeat of Alinghi�s �Swisswash� four years ago. It is the first time Alinghi have lost in competition since BMW Oracle took one race off them in the Louis Vuitton Cup final in 2003. For the five core members of their crew � Butterworth, Murray Jones, Dean Phipps, Warwick Fleury and Simon Daubney, all defectors from Team New Zealand in 2000 � it was the end of 16 consecutive America�s Cup match victories.

A real whinger, that Brad Butterworth.

Anyway, the kiwis are now getting all excited staying up to watch the game in the early morning hours (It is held in Spain this year, which is 10 hours behind New Zealand). It is interesting to note that before Team New Zealand went on to win Louis Vuitton’s Cup and leading America’s Cup, the general public in New Zealand were not so interested in the race, with majority being very passimistic, predicting them to loose 0-5 as last time. But they care now don’t they?! Quote my kiwi mate: ‘That’s typical kiwis for ya, only love it when their team wins, and jump on the loser the minute they loss the game. Even for the All Blacks!’

So go on Team New Zealand, the kiwis are behind ya! (as long as you’re winning.)

That being said, I truly hope Team New Zealand will bring back the cup this time. They’ve sailed amazingly well, especially in the last race. It’d be interesting to see what’s up their sleeves next. As some said, it’s quite an even race, Team New Zealand with their strong team, and Alinghi with their multi million dollars boat. Who will win? The skillful sailors or the million dollars sailers? We shall find out, very soon.

Hell’s Pizza is a very successful pizza franchise in New Zealand. Started as a small pizza shop next to Victoria University in Wellington, they quickly gained attention via clever advertising campaigns. With a catchy name like ‘Hell’, it’s no wonder they created buzz around town successfully. They now have 63 stores spread around the country. I remembered when the new stores started popping up around town, their unique devilish deco certainly caught my attention. There were even hearses parked in front of the shops! They certainly took the nation by storm.

Of course, however strong the campaign is, the pizza chain wouldn’t have survived without the most important ingredient, good pizzas. They offer various gourmet pizzas, pastas and sides. The unique part is, the names of all dishes are hellish as well. You get names like Lust, Greed, Envy, Sloth etc on the menu. That certainly makes ordering fun!

Hell only offers pickup or delivery services, no dine-in. You can phone in or place an order from their website. We normally order online and collect the food from the shop near us. Their website is very cool and animated, with little devils running around. Have a looky here.

cute devilish merchandises.

They are running a series of advertisements that depict the current political events. This one is about the newly passed anti-smacking law. Heh.

cute ducklings.

We ordered snack size Touble pizza with camembert, bacon, onion, chicken, pineapple and salami.

Yummylicious spirit pasta, my favourite!

Last but not least, garlic bread. (again, modeled by Mr K’s hand. Ha.)

This is a series of billboards run by Tui, a local beer company with a wicked sense of humour. The advertising campaign has been running for a while now. The idea is to produce a series of cheeky lines based on current events, with their tag line, yeah right. It changes every few weeks, and sometimes in a few days if there’s a hot topic running. You can even submit your ‘yeah rights’ on their website and if they like the idea, they’ll put it on a billboard! Isn’t that cool?!

This was a hot topic earlier this year when the Auckland city council proposed a ridiculous idea to ban all billboards in town. The reason? Apparently they affect the beautiful city skyline. They even compared Auckland to Paris, because Paris has no billboards. WTH? What skyline? They approved the ugly shoe-box apartments that are scattered around the city centre, but think the billboards are eyesores?! Also, compared Auckland to Paris?! GOD! Do these people have eyes? There are some smart asses in the council I tell you, those eat too full got nothing to doer. This billboard said it all really.

p/s: sorry about the photo quality, it was taken from a moving car.

Auckland Fullers ferry got a lot of bad press because of this incident. Back in February, the ferry company left about 80 passenger stranded on Waiheke Island because the last ferry didn’t have enough seats to accommodate them. Apparently, the skipper refused to make an extra trip even when told to do so by the duty manager. He asked them to go fly kites (OK, I added this part). So the 80+ people were forced to stay on the Island for the night. Go figure!

Alternative advertisement. Haha.

Hey, someone stop the crazy driver driving up the wall!

This is a huge billboard in downtown Auckland. As you know New Zealand is a rugby-mad nation, housing the world number one All Blacks. So it is no surprise that the kiwis are all excitingly anticipating to the counting down of Rugby World Cup 2007 (photo taken in January 2007). The billboard you see here has been there since last year, counting down the minutes to the first game of RWC at France in September. The RWC comes every 4 years, and guess what? Auckland, New Zealand has been chosen to host the next RWC, in 2011! Imagine what buzz it’d bring then. The nation already cannot wait!

Chicken on rice is a dish containing layers of roasted chicken pieces on top of specially cooked fragrance rice, served with green salads and homus. You can choose among the many sauces, like homus, chilli, bbq, tomato, mint and garlic yogurt as topping. I usually go with my favourite homus sauce. The taste is heavenly, oozing with aroma. Mr K and I used to have this 2-3 times a week when we were students because the shop is just right around the corner from uni. Of course, there’s their famous kebab and Mr K’s favourite Lamb on rice as shown in photo below. And let’s not forget their super crispy homemade fries, the best in town!This delicious dish is typically found in many Turkish kebab stalls around town, but I find the one from Kebab on Queen to be the best. Their warm customer service just keeps me going back for more. Why is is called Kebab on Queen? This kebab shop originated from a small (And I mean small, with only 2 small tables right in front of their store) on Queen Street, the busiest business district in Auckland. It is one of the rare food outlet that opens till late (well over mid-night) and 24 hours on weekends. Business is always busy there, and you can see long queues during lunch hours. I stayed in the city centre for about 4 years when I was studying, and used to patronise the shop frequently. So nowadays, everytime I eat this delicious meal, I eat it with a sense of memory.
