Asian Song Festival and Carnival

Hi there, well Saturday I stopped in at the Asian Song Festival, to my dissapointment I missed the song thing it was the day before.. but what the hey, here’s some random snaps from the little festival after.

Not too much happening, but the people were happy and I had some yummy food , as usual 🙂

Hawaii – Day 3

Ah, today was a nice relaxing day, just drove around the island that I’m on, saw things, went to places… see below as usual.

Tomorrow though, I’m off on a group tour to see Pearl Harbour and that stuff… hated the movie, so hopefully this will be better 🙂

 

Started the trip off here… back at DOLE..

2010_03_12_IMG_1132

They have really REALLY big FISH…

2010_03_12_IMG_1134

And.. Pineapple plants….

2010_03_12_IMG_1141

and old machines

2010_03_12_IMG_1140

and red dirt….

2010_03_12_IMG_1149

and more plant things

2010_03_12_IMG_1152

and this…

2010_03_12_IMG_1155

and…..

2010_03_12_IMG_1154

and more stuff like that, which explains why I got bored.

Had a light lunch of a fairly average hotdog and some Pineapple Ice-cream

with pineapple chunks 🙂 yummier 🙂

 

and then I drove some more… and saw water….

2010_03_12_IMG_1156

and…..more water….

2010_03_12_IMG_1160

 

Now, I have to point out that by this stage, I was fairly well lost,

so forgive me if I don’t mention where I am, because I haven’t a bloody clue 🙂

 

And.. I saw one of these…

2010_03_12_IMG_1167

 

And so I drove some more….

and found a few of these….

2010_03_12_IMG_1177 2010_03_12_IMG_1170

continuing on….

This is the view of some random beach from what I can gather, somewhere on the north shore… same place I took the above photos from..

2010_03_12_IMG_1183

 

And then, in the middle of nowhere…..

2010_03_12_IMG_1200

A Mormon temple.

WOW, it was actually very impressive, and this totally HOT little Russian girl came out dressed in her moron gown and started talking to me, and i was totally captivated by her ample charms that I didn’t notice that she was trying to convince me to become a moron.. oops.. Mormon… but I used my adorable Pagan charms on her and escaped after much perving and her cuteness ….

How come all the cute ones are either “giving them selves” to some random gods or going out with pigass ugly guys ?

Ah well….

Then…

 

OUT of the BLUE….

 

BAM!!!!!!!!

 

TWINKIES!!!!!   **Crazy dance around the room**  I FOUND TWINKIES!!!!!!!!!!

2010_03_12_IMG_1208

It’s been over 25 years sin
ce I last had a Twinkie… All i had was memories of what I thought they tasted like… and I bought 4 packets, and scoffed them all… felt a bit sick after.. so washed the sickness away with a bottle of Coke…

Result…. TWINKIES ARE THE BEST IN THE WORLD!!!!!! 🙂

*sighs* think i gained a bit of weight…:)

*bows to the greatness that is Twinkie*

 

Carrying on after feeling sick and queasy…

I saw this old ruins from which i gather used to be some old sugar mill that died in the late 18’00s….

2010_03_12_IMG_1218 2010_03_12_IMG_1221 2010_03_12_IMG_1212 2010_03_12_IMG_1215

 

By this time, things were getting dark, so I packed my Twinkied-out tummy back in the car and headed home… 🙂

 

Wibbles….

 

🙂

 

Twinkie heaven… god, that sounds like some sick porno… 😉

Hawaii – Day 2

Good evening humanites.. 🙂

 

Well, today started off slow, I met up with a lovely person from blogtv today… LadyJenivie @ BlogTV.com (you should catch her show, click on her name, its a link)  the meet was for mid-day, so i managed to get fairly lost… really.. navigational devices are crap.. either that, or I’m lame at driving on the wrong side of the road.. still got to see things i never knew existed 🙂

After the meet, I went for a drive (another way of saying i got lost again) and this is what became..

 

This is me, driving, and fairly lost…. I seem to do lost really well… *sighs*

2010_03_11_IMG_1083

Keeping with that theme….

I drove some more….

2010_03_11_IMG_1087

I went here also…..

2010_03_11_IMG_1089

FINALLY… I saw a sign…….. a sign… not the sign…

2010_03_11_IMG_1090

Then…….

yeah.. I ended up here….

An actual Radio Shack… hardly any radios though… weird that..

2010_03_11_IMG_1092

 

I saw one of these…

2010_03_11_IMG_1093

 

I had a bite to eat here…

2010_03_11_IMG_1097

This was the fooding….

2010_03_11_IMG_1096

 

I also saw one of these…

2010_03_11_IMG_1098

and these….

2010_03_11_IMG_1099

… that fairly much covers all the food groups I can think of 🙂

 

Then, I went for a drive, and ended up in a place called Helemano Military Reservation…… now, it has to be said at this point, I drove around a little, didnt get out of the car, kept the doors locked and tried to look blendy-inny with the area.. I failed….  I took a few pictures only, to show what the housing was like.. and I was kinda shocked, cause what I saw, really reminded me of what I hate about my hometown, also a very touristy type place, and what effects it has on the local people…

2010_03_11_IMG_1100 2010_03_11_IMG_1101 2010_03_11_IMG_1106 2010_03_11_IMG_11052010_03_11_IMG_11032010_03_11_IMG_1104   

 

I continued on.. and found pineapples… yerrr  pineapples…..

2010_03_11_IMG_1117

Yes indeed, but I got there just as they were closing up…. so I’m going to go back another day, its a plantation, and you can go look around and stuff… while inside, I did spot this…

OMG Hello Kitty Marsh Mellows :)  … Im gona have to buy me a few of those later I think :
)

2010_03_11_IMG_1114

 

I Stopped at a local Serv-O for a quick break and found this….

2010_03_11_IMG_1119

Not quite a Twinky… but close… so very very close….. *drools* they didn’t last long, shortly after that photo was taken, they died a horrible but befitting death  *grins* IN MA TUMMY! 🙂

Anyone know where in Honolulu I can get real TWINKYS from ? 🙂

 

I kept going, and ended up in a place called the North Shore , where I sampled some of the worlds most EXPENSIVE fish and chips…. at this place..

2010_03_11_IMG_1124

Costed me $17USD for 1 bit of icky fish, some fries, and a Root beer… Oh well…

After that, I droved home, only stopping in traffic for a moment to snap this fairly useless picture of a building…

2010_03_11_IMG_1129

 

Well, that was it for today…

 

Nite Nite humanites 🙂

Vomit a-la McDonalds… ?

Ok so this is odd…

I had McDonalds for dinner last night..the angus burger..

Went home….

Watched TV

Not the most interesting thing thats ever happened, I admit, but seeing that Angus burger again, …. didn’t exactly thrill me.

 

Guess I’m not going to that McDonalds any more… hehehehe

 

Ah well… Rain…

Next Stop – Cape Kidnappers

L1010541

Cape Kidnappers is a Gannet Colony Reserve, I was going to drive out to it, but the tide was high, and it wasn’t worth the risk.. so here’s a photo of the information board instead.

L1010542

So continuing along.. it rained…

L1010543

 

Next stop – WAIPUKARAU (I’ve changed to a slightly more detailed map for this area)

This is the visitors centre at the wildlife centre.. Nice Building..

L1010566

This is where they save and bread New Zealand’s native bird, the Kiwi.

This is the only Kiwi image I can give you, as Kiwi’s are nocturnal, they are in a dark enclosure, and not allowed to use Flash on the Camera. They are cute though.

L1010575

L1010576

L1010577

The fist gives you an idea of the size of a single egg from a Kiwi… damn! That’s big!

Can you see how dirty the water looks ?? Ewww

L1010623

 

As Wellington is the Capital City of New Zealand (not Auckland) this, sadly is the Government House Building, called “The Beehive” cause it looks like a beehive…

L1010626L1010632    L1010627  L1010630  

Ok enough of politics…

Then I saw a awesome looking church building, just as the sun was starting to set, so there is a light hint of sunset pink on the building also..

This, just looked interesting… a splattering of red… L1010653

 

I wonder why they want to refurbish the Royal Thai Embassy building…???

L1010655

 

As I was driving around looking for a place to have dinner, I saw this wicked looking building… so here are a few shots of it…

L1010660 

A zoomed in shot…

L1010661
