Part 2...

Part 2... From the previous updates, actually i should continue my story but i think it is really no time for that. After since, I've traveled to many places. When I was in Napier, i couldn't find any job. Thru Carl's contact, we get to know a contractor who arranged for job in Hasting. Immediately, I moved to Hasting. It is only half an hour from Napier. I stayed at Travellers Lodge. Most of the occupants are working under this contractor-Johnny (Allied Workforce) and most of them are Malaysians (kind of suprised). Johnny is also a Malaysian. However, I don't really trust him. Malaysian are not trustable. Oops, I'm a Malaysian too. :) That's my story before i found a job.

I thought my life will be better after i got a job but i was wrong. I was arranged to work in a pumpkin factory- Cedenco. My goodness, the supervisor asked me to chop the stupid pumpkin for 9 hours and it was like NON-STOP. Once, there was a woman asked whether I like the job (as a chopper???). I didn't comment anything, neither yes or no BUT i've answered her. Well I said, 'is my job'. I bet she must be damn piss off with the answer like that.... :)

After working for almost one and a half week. I've resigned (surrendered). Now, I wanna go to Te Puke- the origin of New Zealand's kiwi fruit. Before I went there, I've travelled to Taopo and I stay overnight and slept in a car because all the rooms are fully booked. It is super peak season- EASTER DAY. Taopo is a nice place. There are many tourists. It has a big lake-Lake Taopo. It is so big till it looks like a sea. The sky is blue and the water is super clear (amazing). This only can be seen in Malaysia in islands which need to pay. Come on Malaysia, do something about the beaches!!!! Sleepingkah my beloved Malaysia goverment?Malaysia has many beautiful beaches but no one taking care of it.

I also went to Bungy Jump's and Skydive's location but I didn't try because it is too expensive. One game will cost approximately NZD200, which mean RM460 once. Crazy!!!! no money ar....
After Taopo, I went to Turangi. I went for the Tangariro Walk- Tongariro National Park. I need to walk 17km. I walked up the mountain and come down. Then up again...and down again. The scenery is stunning. God creation is wonderful.

After all these, I came to a city called Te Puke (this is where i will be working). I've reached here yesterday. This is what happened yesterday, Jaden and me were returning our rental car at Tauranga Airport which is away from Te Puke (17km). We intended to hitch hike cars that are going towards Te Puke. We walked and give our best and also use our thumbs-up sign. At first, no one gives us a lift. We didn't give up as we take turn to do the hitch hike's sign because our hand too tired. We walked and walked. Suddenly, a car stopped by and asked us to hop-in. We ran like crazy fellow towards the car. Yahoo, luck was on our side (finally). Another problem is Gladys text me that no one is coming over to pick us up because all of the staffs already went back due to Easter Day. Luckily, Gladys called up the office again after waited nearly to 3 hours from 11am to 1.30pm. Huh.. there's a lady asnwered the phone and she promised to fetch us to the hostel. Right after she hanged up, Michelle (the person who supposed to pick us up) appeared. She didnt inform us that she couldn't come and whatsoever. And what pissed me off is she told us to wait for another half and hour AGAIN because the car is full as some of the workers are taking the lift for their grocery. What a bitch!!! After a while, the lady who answered the call came. During the way to the camp site, we had a nice chat :). Now i am in Te Puke. I dunno when will I will be shifting again. I will update my latest news soon.

A Week in Hawkes Bay (part 1)

It was really hard for me to get online in New Zealand!!! I've already arrived in NZ for more than a week but only now i can start update my blog. Um.. I'll start the story when we left from JB (Johor Bahru). I went to Changi Airport, Singapore to take the airflight. I took Qantas because it is the cheapest I can found. It is roughly SGD 1400. I've reached there quite early because I am scared that the JB's traffic is bad. I took a cab from Woodlands to Changi. It cost me roughly SGD$ 20++. I've snapped a few pictures in Changi while waiting for my sis from JB to send dinner over (to save $). Within half an hour, my sis called and said she is already in the airport's carpark. HOWEVER, at the same time, guess who I saw.....is JACKIE CHAN!!!

Mamamia....(hahhaha). He is quite short and guarded with a bodyguard (tall guy). Isn't he know some kung-fu? When Jackie rushed to the toilet and u know what... I ran towards him and follow him to the toilet. At the same time, my sis saw me running towards the toilet and she must be figuring why I was running towards there because she was calling at the back of me... (weirdo). Actually I intent to ask permission to have a photo with him (jackie) but he walked too fast. Is all hongkie walk the same speed as him????

After all the running, I've finally had my dinner (at the carpark, hehehe..). While waiting to onboard, I do nothing. I wanna online but couldn't (eventhought i have the password). My flight was at 10pm ++. My flight fly to Sdyney and transit in Adelaide. While in the plane, Carl was not felling well. He was drownsy. Hahahha... Pengsan....Kekeke..... Affter he ate the 'drowsy prevention pill' he feel all right but motionless... The rest of us felt so excited. This was the first time Winston taking plane out of Malaysia and Jaden is sitting alone with stranger because when we check-in, he checked-in separately (So sorry for you, Jaden)

I slept at around 12am but around 3.30am (Malaysia time +0800) i gotta woke up because it was already morning- 7.30am (2 and half hours different) in Adelaide and i gotta stop there. I waited for an hour in the airport waiting to fly to Sdyney. When I've arrived in Sdyney, my cousin, Yen Yen is already waiting for us (i mean at the city centre). I took a train to Sdyney city and the first thing I do is EAT!!!! Kinda surprised that the city is full of Asian. I walked around (city tour, hahaha - tour guide is Yen Yen) and of course snapped pictures (to fulfill my wish- 'tonned of pictures').

When we wanna went back to airport. Yen yen's purse was missing. I was so worried but she is not :( . She looks so calm. We walked to the eatery where we had lunch earlier and ask. Luck is not on our side, nothing was found. Again, I gotta board another plane (from Sydney) to Wellington at around 6pm (Aus. time). I've reached Wellington at around 12am (midnight).
All of us were little bit 'kan cheong' because we heard that the NZ-immigration officers have the authority to send us back to Malaysia if they suspect that we are up to no good. Shit, I was stucked in the checking area (only check Asian- BIAS) for an hour. They kept asking questions and questions. They ONLY Chinese asian for questioning. What a bad day and we forfeited 2 packs of 'POH CHAI YUN'. Um... if next time i have stomachache, I will haunting them. The pills is illegal because it contains some ingredients that is not permitted into NZ. Anyway, one of the immigration officer is good (the one that questioned ME). He let us sleep in the airport.

P/S- Wellington airport will stop operation after midnight and resume back at around 4am. Please do not assume that all airports operates 24/7!!!

I was told not to walk around because the whole aiport is full of CCTV and I slept on the sofa/ cushions (whatever u call it). I woke up at 4am becase people starting coming to the airport. I went out the airport and waiting for bus and it was very cold. What to do, I still need to wait for bus. I took a bus to Wellington town. It is a big city and the weather was cold and windy. After that, I've took Nakedbus (sounds chicky) to Napier, the place where I wanna find job.
to be continued...

Countdown..3,2 and 1...

New Zealand I am coming!!!One more day to go and i will be in New Zealand (jobless). This might change my life because some say the economy of Malaysia will turn bad for year 2008. So it will be tough for me to find a job when i'm back to Malaysia on September. However, as usual, DO I CARE? By the way, i know some of my collegues will be reading this blog too. So if you guys have job vacancy (when i'm back), please inform me lar.

In this blog, i will mostly just post up pictures instead of writing because it is faster and easier. God knows whether NZ have wireless network or not (keep my finger crossed). Hopefully can upload tonnes of pictures.

Later i will need to drive my friends (Jaden and Winston) to have their haircut before leaving to the unknown place (NZ). BTW, there are four (4) people including me going for this trip. There are Carl, Jaden and Winston. So all of us are guys...so no hanky panky stuffs that you might think of.. hahaha

But who knows we might able to meet someone out there! That will be great!!! So till now, see ya!!!!
