Wellington Trip 2012: An Unexpected Journey AKA Strategic Space

It was last week that we finally be going to the capital city, Wellington, NZ (Just a day after the events of The Hobbit movie premiere took place) with me, Nan & Pops (Well I went to Welly earlier in June with Dad, Corinna & Jans to see the injured Bernard Thomas at a hospital) to stay at John Coburn & Lim Chin Keong's apartment dubbed as ''The Meat Quarter'' (Over in Courtneay Place) for like uh, 3 nights I think (And yes it was our 1st trip to Wellington when suddenly, John was here).

When we arrived at the capital, I did see many landmarks around the city such as the Cake Tin of Westpac Stadium & the Parliament buildings such as the Beehive before we parked our car to go to John & Lim's (Which is located @ Courtneay Place & we did arrange the stuff when we supposedly met John but he went out and then Lim turned up & John Came back and oh, by the way, did have lunch there at Mr Bun) before we all went to the Craftsman for dinner & I had burgers there for dinner before heading back to the apartment to watch X-Factor & had dessert before dancing to Gangnam Style by PSY (Which I am very good at now, LOL) and went to sleep.

1 day later, we went to New World to get our stuff for lunch after we had breakfast, saw the Embassy Theatre when security was tight due to a private function was being held before going to Weta Workshop over in Miramar and did enjoy it there and after that, headed back to the apartment for lunch, went for a walk through the streets especially the $2 store & Cuba Street and went to that Japan store, saw Poppa's sister, Catherine Ngapo with her English born partner, Ken while I was having a Japanese ice cream/block before going to farmers to buy my new pair of pyjamas heading back to The Meat Quarter before John & Pops took me to the post shop to get that stuff, headed back to the apartment before heading off to the Green Parrot for dinner (I had steak schnitzel there and it was excellent), went back there after dinner to watch the results show of X-Factor & Jono & Ben @ 10 (Which is the last of 2012), and after watching TV, it is bedtime.

The next morning, we did all go (Me, Nan, Pops, John & Lim) to Le Marche Francais for breakfast there (And I had French Toast X Hot Chocolate there) before heading over on a road trip to Greytown (Were we stopped on top of the hill) for a walk through the town for long before having lunch there and headed back to Welly for dinner with Aunt Catherine & Ken before going to see the James Bond movie Skyfall (With me, Pops, John & Lim) and I quite enjoyed it despite the movie was OK with the apparent death of M) to end the night because we are leaving tomorrow and we did leave Wellington after the All Blacks (Reigning World Champions) ill fated defeat to England (RWC 2015 hosts) ending our trip to Wellington campaign on a high beacuse next week, I will be doing a blog about the best of 2012: a year that was (Dubbed as the year of Kim Dotcom, the year of the Ridges (Sally & Jamie Ridge), the year of the GC (Like the people from the GC such as Tame & the ridiculously hot Rosanna 'Rosie' Arkle), the year of the Olympics & the year of the Gangnam Style (By South Korean Rapper PSY).

Windy City Hospital Highlight Reel

It was last week on Friday, to leave home (I took my Cellphone myself to listen to my favourite radio station, The Rock FM) in order go to Welly to see the injured Bernard-Thomas at a hospital near the Government House & Basin Reserve, Me, Dad & Bernard's real Father, Uncle John Orr came as we went through towns such as Turakina, Bulls, Sanson & Foxton before stopping at a park in Levin before carrying on by seeing more towns such as Otaki (10 years since that famous stay at Byron's), Waikanae & Paraparaumu, but saw the Royal New Zealand Police College as well as Porirua & Johnsonville (Home of Pop's good ol' comrade Murray Gray & his Filipino born wife Viluz), but finally after 1 year & 10 months since my last visit, we finally saw the Capital City of New Zealand, Wellington AKA the Windy City (famously nicknamed after Chicago, Illinois, USA), also saw Westpac Stadium AKA Cake-Tin (Home of the 'Canes Super Rugby team), the Beehive (Parliment Building), John & Lim's apartment maybe & Courtneay Place possibly before settling at the Lodgers & saw Corinna who's poised to go home for work & move into a new residence but finally, I saw Bernard who I have not seen for 2 weeks, but had dinner there at the hospital's family room as well as watching television then next morning, I made my own brekkie (It was baked beans on toast + cereal & hot drinking chocolate) before seeing my step-brother again on how he is progressing well with his injuries he succumbed/sustained before having a rest, lunch (I had baked beans on toast yet again, with steak), reading newspaper, watching the rugby (The 'Canes won the match, beating the Rebels 66 - 24 as well as the big Hurricanes hooker Motu Matu'u smash 2 Rebels players) & having hot dog sausage sizzle for dinner, saw my step-brother, Bernard again before heading back & going to sleep, nek minnit (actually it's next morning), Had breakfast before seeing him 1 last time for the day, had soup for lunch before we said farewell to him (Hope 'ya get well, eh?), packed everything & headed back home sweet home all over again (Although, we did stop at Sanson for dinner cause I was feeling hungry that I already had a tomato soup for lunch).

Yesterday (The day after Corinna had her 1st stay at her new home which is located at Harrison Street), visited Corinna's new home & it looked fantastic, went into Warehouse to buy my stuff before heading over to Subway to get the chicken parmigiana sub & got that Kentucky Fried Chicken not for me before headed back to Corrina's for dinner, relaxed & watched TV before heading back to 43 Rimu Street (Which is Me & Dad's place) to end this spectacular 6 days it was.
