259 Terrace Backpackers

did you know i'm running a backpackers now in wellington?

business is doing really well...

my business started off when christine came and visited us when we first moved to wellington. we were living in a studio back then. it was not spacious but we managed to take christine as our first customer. then news travelled, ying swan was our second and last customer at our small but cozy studio apartment.

we realized that the business has potential to grow and we rented a townhouse. business have been going real steady for this year. to prove this, i will show you the list of my clients for 2009:

February - Audrey and Bronson

March - Zara

April-May - Parents & Aunts

May-June - Mag's friends

July - Ying Swan, Sher Mayne & Ivan.


pretty impressive eh? hehehe...it's been really nice having friends and family coming over for visits and for other reasons too. we enjoy the company. more the merrier. our place is not big but we have mattresses and you can sleep on the floor. backpackers style lar..heheh..best of all...free of charge! =) i think everyone is coming over now because we will be closing down the business at the end of the year.

then you guys have no more reasons to visit wellington!

lol..

anyway ...after a week or so of thick fog, rain and cloudiness, i can finally see sunlight for the first time!!! it really made my day even the day was freezing cold and also the fact that manchester united lost the champions league finale....... but i guess you can't have everything...

hope there is more sunlight in this cold cold winter..brrrr...!

coldest game ever played

i played an outdoor football game today and i think it is one of the coldest game i've ever played. it could be one of the most challenging one as well. temperature wise was not too bad. supposedly somewhere around 9°C or lower but the wind was the killer. the wind chill was like 3°C. not forgetting the rain as well. the wind was so strong that you can't stand at one spot. you seem to be going no where when you run against the wind. the rain drops feels like hail when it hits your face. can't feel your hands even with gloves.

example of how strong the wind was... my team right back cleared the ball hard and high towards the sideline and it flew up and floated in the air and came back to him on his chest... -_-" crazy right? and not forgetting we had like a million throw-ins because everytime you play the ball high, it just flew to the left of the pitch and goes out.

brrrrr......freaking freezing. but it was all good as i scored a goal! =P and if you have watched the news, ferries have stop sailing because of the wind and swells. small aircrafts as well..what a good day to play? they should have bloody cancelled the game. now i respect those epl players for getting so high pay when they play in winter. they totally deserve the money. the freaking house is freezing too...i hate winter!
