The parentals

Some of you may know that my Mum and Dad (pictured below) live in Rarotonga and Australia respectively.


In the last month--once in person and once over Skype--they mentioned that they were looking at my blog. Dad told me to keep it updated more often (because he doesn't follow the twitter feed) and Mum just said, "You don't blog much anymore, do you?"

Needless to say, I've decided to resurrect the old blog and begin anew. I really wish I had time to talk about this business visit to Shanghai, China:


Or discuss my weekend and first ever trip to Sydney, Australia with Dad & Shazza:


Or, tell you countless stories about these two High school mates of mine from Upper Hutt, New Zealand:


But, unfortunately, I do not. It's 1.30am in the morning and I really should be asleep. I will let you know that I had an awesome time though.

I loved being in Shanghai where nobody could really communicate with me and where I bought some "Beats by Dr. Dre" for less than a quarter of the price they go for in the U.S.

I really enjoyed spending time with Dad and Shazza in Sydney--eating fish heads, paua fritters and lamb/kumara pie while watching the All Blacks beat France in the Rugby.

I also really loved being back in NZ, getting my visa approved, road tripping with Mum, staying with my cousin and then my 'bootiful scissor' (Shout out to my niece and nephews--Belle, Molela, Monaco and Zydal! And thanks for waking me up in the morning by sitting on my face with your smelly nappy or jumping on my stomach...awesome).

New experiences and families are just great, aren't they?
