The Starnge Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde (Reading List)



What a story! One that delves into split personality, one good and one evil. Within its short pages beams a truth about people as a whole and how well do we really know them?
The qualm of Dr Jekyll by end was something remarkable, it demonstrated that he as a person and as an man of intelligence somehow knew that he wasn’t right. But I believe the story also shows that ever so slightly that we ourselves have a Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde within all of us.

Turning My Hair Blue (Bucket List)

Before I do this i must mention i am going to be using an 8 wash hair dye, as to why i am freaked out to having it permanent and i do not think when i go back too work after my time off they would appreciate blue hair. The reason i am "Freaked" is that i have a-lot of "What If's" which include, what if it turns out horrible, what if i look bad and will i be to embarrassed to let anyone see it. But even with these, the thing that's making me do this is to get me out of my comfort zone and dare to do something different.

Now that i have my hair is blue well a subtle blue but blue enough for people to notice it isn't as bad as i thought i would be and i am not worried about going outside at all and knowing that the fear was all in my head is great, but that is the point ofr fear, to be conquered.

Dying my hair blue was to overcome my own fears about myself and to do something out of my comfort zone, it might be a small thing but for me it was huge, It is fun to be blue!!

Auckland Museum (Bucket List)

Overall Experience

The Auckland Museum was and is such a beautiful place, the way that it has been set up with the historical past it holds, which ranges from early New Zealand history (including Māori history and Māori law) to the two world wars to the oceans and volcanic history and much more. It was an amazing experience.

Points of interest

The Holocaust Room

This was a room personally dedicated to the Holocaust with pieces personally donated to the museum so that others can remember and never forget what happened. It was a monument that touched my heart to see. To see photos of some who were lost and some who had survived the horrible ordeal that had immigrated to New Zealand after later on to start fresh. This room is a great way to remember and to make sure that it never happens again.


The Mitsubishi A6M3 Model 22 “Zero” and The Spitfire planes

Seeing such planes that have been used in battle restored to a great condition were absolutely exquisite and just being in their mere presence was breath-taking.

7A Puia Street

This was an interactive section to do with volcanic eruptions; it is what would happen if you were at home at Auckland’s waterfront if a new volcano erupted. The effects of a powerful eruption would also cause quakes and most likely a tsunami. It was a good interactive experience and one that shows the power of a volcano and provides the necessary measures one should take in such measures.

Visiting the Museum
The museum is located in the heart of the Auckland Domain in the Cities CBD/Parnell suburb and is a great place to visit and is free to Auckland residents and their tours are quite frequent. I highly recommend all to go. For More information visit http://www.aucklandmuseum.com/
