Ed Sheeran!

So I actually went to Ed Sheerans concert in Auckland earlier this year, I think it was March. I went with 3 of my friends and it was one of my favourite days of the year so far. We left Henderson transport centre at 6.45am, more than 12 hours before the concert was actually to begin, just so we could line up and hopefully get a good place inside the arena.

We arrived at the actual arena at around 8am after buying Subway for the day and we sat about 20 metres away from the door, suprised to find out people had camped out from the night before. I decided to take one picture every hour and here are a my photos from the day:

2 Hours In Line!

Me being very happy at 3 hour in line! We had just moved up
heaps!
Lolly scramble! I don't look very happy :L 4 hours
Ring Pops! At 5 hours :D Thanks ZM!
My saviour! Gave me something to read as well as fan
myself, it was hot :L 6 hours!

The line at 6 and a half hours! 

7 hours, we were standing up!





Us at the front of the line, just before the concert!

























So the whole day was pretty fun and I met some really awesome people in line! I think it was definately worth the wait and the concert was so good!
Passenger was the opening act (well one but I forgot the other ones name, I think it may have been Gabrielle Aplin or something like that) and he was so so so good and had the most AMAZING stage presents, he was one of the best opening acts I have ever experienced. He sung around 5 songs I guess, and also one duet with Ed during the concert they sung 'Hearts On Fire'and it was beautiful!

Ok, Ed was just AMAZING he is such an awesome person to see live and his stage presents and audience connection is just wonderful,he was great! He sung the majority of the songs off his album '+' and then a couple others like covers and stuff. At one point of the concert he was like a metre away from us and we all sort of died a bit :3 Also he walked of stage at one point, everyone thought the show was finished but everyone in the audience was screaming 'Encore' and what did we know, Ed came back and did about 4 more songs, ending with the 'You Need Me I Don't Need You' extended edition, so it was about 20 minutes long and we got to sing as the 'West Side Story' families, the right being the Sharks and the left being the Jets
it was great! WSS is one of my favourite musicals!

The most memorable part of the whole concert was at the beginning of one of his songs, I forgot which one :L, he asked the whole audience to be dead quiet and for about a minute, and he did, he got around 15,000 people to be dead quiet and it was serene, I had never experienced something like it before.

I would definately recommend going to see Ed Sheeran if you are even only slightly interested in his music, he is amazing live and I have no regrets going, except for my lost voice and sore feet after wards (as we were standing right infront of the stage).

Review Of My Holiday!

So if you didn't know I have been on school break for the past two weeks and went back to school today (which sucked but anyway) so I thought I would share with you what I have done during that time. Places I went, new food, new clothes etc...

So....

Food!

1.I love starbucks so any chance I get to go there I will! So I decided to get a Double Chocolate Frappe with Soy milk and it was delicious, everyone should definately try them! It cost me $7.50 for a Grande sized one! So it was a bit expensive but worth it.

2. Hulu Cat Tea House! This is probably one of the cutest places I have ever been and it was cheap and so yum! Its one size but probably about 750mls for $5 and $1 for topping like pearls, puddlings, jelly etc. I have tried now a grapefruit green tea, a mango green tea and a strawberry black tea. If you live in Auckland or ever come here and like Tea definately try it!
Look at the cute cups!

3. Nandos! I finally went to Nandos and was defiantely worth the money and my expectations were reached. I spent $14.90 and got a quarter chicken and chips which was heaps, as they have really big portion sizes. The sauces are really awesome too!

Places!

1. Whitianga! I go to Whitianga on the Coromandel peninsula a few times a year to visit my nan who lives down there. It was beautiful there this time and the weather was sunny and awesome! Which was good for he middle of winter. I would definately recommend going there if you haven't its really small but its such a awesome small town! Also the cave where the family off Narnia 2 come out of at the beginning of the film is a 10 minute boat ride from the main wharf!

2. Whiti Farm Park! this was most likely the cutest place I had ever been, animal wise. It had both common and exotic farm animals and I made friends with an Australian Cockatoo named Smiley! I fed heaps of new animals like Wallabies, Turkeys, Possums, a Llama, Alpacas and even an emu and ostrich!

3. I went to Hot Water Beach for the first time in years and it was so cool! My cousin and I dug a hole and were just getting to the warmth when a big wave came and ruined it and filled it with cold water :L

Clothes!

1. Star Wars T-Shirt: When I went into Central Auckland (Town) we went to Paper Bag Princess on K Road and it was one of the best Op-Shops I have ever been in. I found this really cute Star Wars Tee with 9 of the characters as cartoons on it!

2. Super Bang Bario T-Shirt: I also got this from Paper Bag Princess and its a parody Tee with Bario on it which is pretty cute! I got this and the Star Wars T-Shirt for $8!

3. I went into Valley Girl with my sister and they were having a huge sale and I got an over-sized knitted jumper! It was only $10 and is so warm and comfy!

Love you all!

I've Been A Bit Busy....

Haii there everyone!

I'm so super sorry about my lack of updates after saying I was going to because of the holidays and whatnot but anyway I have actually been very busy.

So In the past week I have done heaps and from last, last Saturday to the Wednesday morning I didn't have any phone or internet access because of my location and when I got home it was being so annoying and keep cutting out that I didn't actually have any time to update. So I am very sorry

I have gained internet access back so her I am with a hopeful update after this one and one for the rest of the week!

Love,
