All Black Fever..

All Black..everyone knows about All Black..mostly through its apparels…very nice black shirt with a small fern logo on the left chest side..recently i’ve been to one of its games in Wellington..the ticket was so damn expensive but nothing compared to the enjoyment we had that night. My wife was so facsinated throughout the game and now she keeps asking me to go again..but definitely not during winter..we were caught in cold that night..anyway it was one good experience..

Wellington

Inilah Wellington..takdela best mana pun..it is a very small and compact city where you can walk around and enjoy the sun and coffee. It is indeed rich with cultures..due to so many cultural assimilation brought from different continents..its own maori culture is also interesting. Wellington is the third biggest city in New Zealand after Auckland and Christchurch with nearly 330,000 population, very small. The population for the whole of New Zealand is just 4 million plus and another interesting point is sheep already reaching 40 million. Shopping, theatres, cinemas, coffee are among main activities if you are in Wellington but wind is your biggest enemy. Given its geographical location, in between north and south island..the wind is able to blow up to 120mph..crazy..

First Anniversary

Me and my wife are counting days for our first anniversary on the 18th August. Best rupanya kahwin ni..hehe..

Alternative Energy..are we ready?

Alternative Energy..are we ready?

Wind turbine in Brooklyn..the world is complaining that climate has become warmer..but yet we are not ready to change our behaviour..this wind turbine in Brooklyn, New Zealand is one of many that it has built around the country. The cost is expensive if we compare with the cheap nuclear energy, but to have a word nuclear in New Zealand policies is impossible because of 1986′s nuclear free policy which had led to a drift between the U.S and New Zealand. However, the drift has set this country to be more independent in its foreign policy. Back to the wind turbine…it produces energy based on kinetic principles – blade movement from wind absorb from Cook Strait. This turbine was installed in 1993. This Vestas turbine has a blade length of 13.5 meters and the nacelle is 31.5 meters above the ground. Maximum output of 225kW is enough to supply about 60-80 homes throughout the year.
