Jalan-jalan Wellington: Parliament House

alooooo ...

posting tertangguh nie ...sebab busy ...who would have thought that doing a phd is so busy sampai takde masa jejalan kan??? (well duuuhhh, i am being sarcastic here!) well, kalau nak jejalan, kena curi masa sebenar nya ...I am in a zone now ...my dad's advice terngiang2 kat fikiran ...he said, all you have to do is study smart ...study hard may get you what you want, but you wont have much time to enjoy yourself, but if you study smart, you will get whatever needs to be done and at the same time enjoying life ...dia bagi contoh when he did his training, how he and his friends did their fieldwork ...org lain betul bendul and work their ass of to get things done, while my dad and his friends get the data done at half the time org lain buat, and the other half was spent lepking .....so, here i am ..finding time to blog! selepas yesterday and today melepak with friends ... so tomorrow till fri, am gonna work..but weekend i will rest and find inner peace lol

back to the posting on hand...last month, masa tijot and kiky visited me here..i took them ronda2 Welly ...one of the places that we visited is the Parliament House ...also known as the Bee Hive coz of its shape

it is actually one of the tourist attraction kat Welly ...walaupun Welly is so much smaller than Auckland or Christchurch, but it is the power seat i.e. where the power that governs NZ sits ...it is the capital city ..so administrative centre kat sini lah ...they are so proud to call this place..the coolest little capital in the world ...mahu tak nya, mana ada capital city yang you boleh ronda2 jalan kaki ajer??? but that;s the fact ...

nie nak tunjuk hamparan bunga ajer :-)

actually, walaupun dah masuk 7 bulan kat sini, that was the first time aku gi area BeeHive nie secara dekat ...biasa aku lalu masa naik bus nak balik Kelburn ajer hahaha ...selalu tengok dari jauh ajer ...so that day, ngan aku aku sekali jadi tourist 

Nampak tak scaffolding area yang warna biru kat gamar kat atas nie? Well, masa earthquake in July (yang masa tu aku tengah cuti sebulan di Mysia), part of the BeeHive was damaged ...so tu le kesan earthquake tu (July 2013) ..masih dalam proses membaiki when we were there ...

before nak masuk ke kawasan park depan Bee Hive, we went for a stroll round the area ...and one of the places yang orng singgah is this monument ...posing posing kan harus ..hehehe tourist le kata kan ...such monument actually reminded me of UK and Europe ....sebab ada muka singa!!!!

From singa nie, we all beransur masuk kawasan open spaces depan parliament ...photo opportunity memang banyak ....banyak tempt utk posing ....

 that building is also part of the parliament complex ..sebenarnya Parliament complex tu comprises of 3 bahagian ...and beehive and that building are parts of it ...

masa nie sejuk sangat ...we didnt spent a lot of time here ...posing2 ala kadar and balik ..coz kalau ada masa, we could have gone to the other side of those flag poles and took pic from angle tu kan ..but we didnt ..plus ada org nak carik toilet sesangat masa tu hehehehe

last pic before gi redah Pipetia campus in search for toilet hehehehe

so, if you are visiting Welly and takde masa ak gi jalan2 jauh kan ...make a point to visit this place ...look see look see ...posing sana posing sini and chow le hehehe sekurang2 nya ada gambar Beehive maaaaa ...it is located at the end of Lambton Quay, so balik from situ boleh le shopping along Lambton Quay ;-) nearby ada Railway Station ...ada Turnball House etc ...so banyak atraction within walking distance ;-) plus, kalau yang berminat nak tau lebih lanjut about the parliament nie kan, dorang ada tour if i am not mistaken ...tapi kalau yang mcm kami nie...just look see and pose ajer kat situ ..and moving on to next destination
