Saturday 4th April 2009 - the shark dive day!!! Was not feeling nervous at all. I’ve thrown myself off tall ledges into canyons, out of planes and this was not scaring me at all, I was just way too excited. We got the boat when it was still dark at 6.30am, and there were 15 passengers including us. It was a 2 hour ride out to Neptune Island which is where they anchor, as its a seal colony on the Read the rest of this entry »

Tuesday 2nd June 2009 - went on a snorkelling with the Whale Sharks trip. The crew were lovely, and we went on a boat in Ningaloo Reef, and first off started with some snorkelling over the reef. I didn’t really get to see much of the Great Barrier Reef due to bad weather, but most people say the GBR has had its day now, its dying due to all the tourists and Ningaloo Reef is much better. Well I was Read the rest of this entry »

Saturday 8th November 2008 - today me, Shelley and Sarah went Zorbing in Rotorua, which consists of getting in a large hamster type ball which is full of water and rolling down a hill. It looked a bit tame from the top, but us 3 all got in together and its one of the most fun things I’ve done. To get in you fly like superman through the entrance, and Shelley and Sarah managed to get in a standing position Read the rest of this entry »

Friday 21st November 2008 - got up this morning and booked in for the bungy at 9.45am. This is the highest bungy in NZ, and the worlds 3rd highest jump at 134 meters. I have always sworn on my life that I would never do a bungy as the thought scared the living daylights out of me, I would have rather cuddled a tarantula - and I am an arachnophobic, so I though hell why not, and if I’m going Read the rest of this entry »

What a terrible and tragic story this is. A man stabbed to death because he tried to stop two thieves.
If you saw a young woman having her handbag snatched would you be able to just stand and do nothing? Or would you do what this brave man did and give chase? Until it happens to you (which I hope it never does) there is no way of knowing quite how you would react. We are always warned that it is safer to leave the authorities to handle situations like this but sometimes this is easier said than done. After all, we are all human beings and we all act on instincts.
Now I just hope that the police manage to catch the two men responsible for this awful attack; and that it is sooner rather than later. People like this are too dangerous to be wandering around our streets. Who knows what else they might do? And next time it could turn out to be even worse.
My heart really does go out to the families of Sukhwinder Singh. He gave his life trying to help someone. It may be that he has died as a hero, but that will not make it any easier for the people he has left behind.
Sukhwinder may have acted rashly by chasing the thieves but what he did was incredibly brave. If it had just been one man that he had pursued then it would have heroic but to go after two was amazing. I wonder what our society would be like if there were more people who were so willing to help others who were in trouble. One thing is for sure, there would be a lot fewer crimes committed. If a thief had to worry about all the people who may try to catch him, then surely he would think twice.
By the way the Ski chalet holidays booking has been looked after everybody (by yours truley I may add), I am really excited about our long weekend trip. I need part of the overall cost by early next week, so everyone please pay me!

This post about the Nintendo DS brought back some happy memories. I have played on this console a few times but the real love of my life was my silver Gameboy SP.
There were some excellent games for it and it was double the fun for me because it was backwards compatible. Whatever games come out, you can never replace the magic of the old Mario and Zelda ones! Mind you, the latest edition of Super Mario Land that has Read the rest of this entry »

When my son started going to school, I had a few minutes of free time as I waited for his bus. So, I decided I would put this time to good use. Instead of sitting there doing nothing but thinking about the next best moisturiser I can wear on my face, I would immerse myself in a good book.
As I began reading, my mind escaped to completely different worlds. Some of these worlds were no different than our own, Read the rest of this entry »
