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 🙂
And some oddly aggressive drumming…..

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..
They have really REALLY big FISH…
And.. Pineapple plants….
and old machines
and red dirt….
and more plant things
and this…
and…..
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….
and…..more water….
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…
And so I drove some more….
and found a few of these….
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..
And then, in the middle of nowhere…..
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!!!!!!!!!!
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….
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*
Keeping with that theme….
I drove some more….
I went here also…..
FINALLY… I saw a sign…….. a sign… not the sign…
Then…….
yeah.. I ended up here….
An actual Radio Shack… hardly any radios though… weird that..
I saw one of these…
I had a bite to eat here…
This was the fooding….
I also saw one of these…
and these….
… 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…
I continued on.. and found pineapples… yerrr pineapples…..
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 :
)
I Stopped at a local Serv-O for a quick break and found this….
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..
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…
Well, that was it for today…
Nite Nite humanites 🙂
Don’t forget to subscribe and comment 🙂
Z3Bra.
Sunday cheese pie fights
… ?
*shakes head slowly*
I dunno..
Vomit a-la McDonalds… ?
Ok so this is odd…
I had McDonalds for dinner last night..the angus burger..
Went home….
Watched TV
Threw Up.
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…
Road Trip – Day 2 – Napier to Wellington

Part Two.
My Hotel room in Napier had a Hot Tub.. Yeah 🙂 … I didn’t use it though.. DOH!
Napier is known for its Art Deco design, after the big earth quake that near flattened the place, they re-built it in like.
And a cool looking sculpture thing….
Next Stop – Cape Kidnappers
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.
So continuing along.. it rained…
Next stop – WAIPUKARAU (I’ve changed to a slightly more detailed map for this area)
Not allot to look at here, other then quite a cool looking Masonic Temple..
On to – DANNEVIRKE
On the way, I see mountains with snow caps 🙂 YAY SNOW 🙂
Then, we got into town….
Vikings ?????
Yes, Apparently, in 1880, the fist boat load of Swedish peoples landed… Dannevirke is a Norse town.
Not much to see, so on to the next town….
Next stop: MANGATAINOKA – Home of TUI Beer 🙂
The opening and Closing hours had me a little confused…
The “Actual” Tui Brewery Building (behind protective fence)
Follow This Link for funny TUI Beer Add on YouTube
And… TUIWOOD … Yeah, take that Hollywood!! 🙂 Hahahahaha errr….
Next Stop: EKETAHUNA
This was the only interesting thing I could find in Eketahuna
Next Stop: Mt Bruce National Park
This is the visitors centre at the wildlife centre.. Nice Building..
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.
The fist gives you an idea of the size of a single egg from a Kiwi… damn! That’s big!
There is also an outdoors thing, not much going on.. but here you go.. looks nice and so I went for a walk 🙂
… And a Duck…..
.. and some bird thing in a tree that was REALLY LOUD 🙂
.. and some water..
.. and a track…
.. and the outside of the building ..
Next Stop: MASTERTON
A few interesting things….
Just outside of Masterton is Carterton
And a wicked looking fountain thing…
And then… TOTALLY out of the blue…Read the Sign…. I kid you not! It’s for real!
Follow this link for: Stonehenge New Zealand
Next Stop: FEATHERSTON
Just a war memorial…
.. and I thought this church sign was quite funny 🙂
Finally.. WELLINGTON… YAY…. Bottom of the North Island of New Zealand.
Here, I will stay the night…
saw this old building.. it looked interesting (x2)
![]()
Can you see how dirty the water looks ?? Ewww
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…
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..
I liked the lines and design on this building, the National Library of New Zealand…
I managed to catch the Moon above the corner of the building… YAY
![]()
This, just looked interesting… a splattering of red… ![]()
I wonder why they want to refurbish the Royal Thai Embassy building…???
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…
A zoomed in shot…
Thi
s is where I had dinner….
BTW… Dinner was Fantastic!! 🙂
Then.. Driving back, this area is called Oriental Bay, Wellingtons nicely developed water front…
And… that’s all for the day err night….
Bed time.
See you tomorrow 🙂
