2009

This year, many things happen, many things change.

Early of the year, I’m still an undergraduate, busy with thesis and part time job. Was driving me crazy that time when both of them clash together. The purpose I’m doing that job was getting some money for my New Zealand Work and Travel Plan, meanwhile, gaining some experience in this industry. Because, I believe I will join in similar industry at my career path. But, end up, I didn’t join in a similar industry, yet drastic deviation happened. Ha-ha. That’s called life.

Finally, all those stuff get over. And my title change from undergraduate to traveler and cheap labour. Yeah!

New Zealand, I have spent around 3 months in this country. Working hard to earn money, no matter how cold is, how heavy rain are, how strong of UV, still have to work. Met many people there, having a good time with them. See lots of nice view, until I got no more rasa. Done many activities, step on glacier, hiking at Snow Mountain, fly from 12000feets, awesome! But, nothing is perfect. I was facing some frustrating issue there also. Well, is over! Just have to remind myself be tougher. =)

Again, my designation change again, from traveler change to jobless people. Haha.

When I come back, attend convocation. Frankly speaking, my mind is not yet ready for the convocation at that time. Just the next 2 day right after I came back from Australia. I even wore white shirt to attend my convocation, *shame* (It’s stated that must wear dark color shirt for guy) Anyway, I have a wonderful moment there. *sweet*

One thing that I never expected was, I’m the chief coordinator for Tiong Hua Cup-2009. Oh, Shit!! This is a consequences of do not know how to say NO! Gone through 1 months plus process, it makes I grew up a lot in debate. I know more well to this big family. But the result was not a good one, we were lost! So sorry….

Another thing surprised everyone is, I went to China. I’m not going to big city, but my grandfather’s home, Guang Xi. Some more, I’m not stay in town, but in village. A place that consider undeveloped, no water supply, car cannot get in. Slightly differ from usual, I’m not very reluctant of staying there. May be because of the relatives there is really welcome us, they deemed me as their brother indeed. Praying ancestor there for 3 days, get to know better about my family history, drinking china beer with all my “brother”, take bath with the water from mountain, speak some language that I cannot speak well. haha Was an amazing experience.

WoW! My status was change again after came back from china, from unemployed undergraduate to structural engineer. I never ever expect myself will be a structural engineer, but I don’t know why there are very few jobs relating with environment in market, and doesn’t offer me a good paid nor chances. So, I change my path. Start from zero, learn everything all over again. I’m so passion to this job initially, until one moment……

Conclusion: A year with many changes, consider fruitful.

What’s next, anticipating……

纽西兰打工旅游之南岛旅计1

要过去南岛了,之前有人千叮咛,万吩咐我们不用去Milford Souind,他说,那边的景色和从北岛坐渡轮到南岛的景色没两样。
所以我们就决定,不去Milford Sound!但是在渡轮上的景色也只是普普通通而已。



到了南岛便找Sam,台湾的朋友,和他在Blenheim相聚了一晚,好好的聚一聚。
比较奇特的是今晚住的地方,同样是backpacker hostel,里面住满了世界各国的背包客
趣闻:我们热带国家的子民,来到天寒地冷的国家,睡觉前总想着把heater开到最高温。所以温馨提醒同房的老外,有没有把heater调开。那条水竟然冷冷的答复我说,若开了后,晚上会很热,语毕便马上脱掉身上的衣裤,盖被睡觉。而我则穿多一件外套,盖被睡觉。
可怜的事迹:话说这里的老外都来这里做葡萄剪枝的工作。有一位英国的年轻人也是,但他比较可怜,他应工受伤,整个背后都拉伤了,这个背部驼了下来,伤得很重。晚上睡觉时,他突然大声一叫,原因是难忍痛楚,无法入眠。同房的室友惟有把他扶到客厅,让他躺着入眠。哀哉。。。

隔天就到基督城,到处贴卖车的告示。。。
途中,竟然巧遇在Mandarin Orchard的日本朋友,Tatsuya,世界真的是小啊。。。

再出发!前往冰川。
开车到先到Greymouth,路途经过Arthurpass。
各位,下面这几张照片就是Arthurpass的写真啊!!





在这路上,铺满了雪,一路上,有很多人和我们一样,停下来,玩雪的玩雪,拍照的拍照。
光是坐在车上,看着那一座又一座的雪山,就已经是一种享受。
这是我认为纽西兰第二美的路景, 好震撼啊。。

这是纽西兰特有的鸟类,叫Kea。

终于到了Greymouth,当晚的我们迷上了百万富翁的游戏,玩得尽兴啊。。
但是。。。
突然间收到一封短讯,指什么什么地方有地震,哦,惨了!我们隔天的路程必须经过那边啊。
后来才知道是小事一桩,Cheh.....

安心的再出发(是的,我们是很赶的,哈哈)
来到了我很想很想到的地方,Franz Josef,也是冰川之地啊。。
来到这里已经是下午了,不可能去冰川了,就去附近的海滩,看日落。


*酷*
*帅*
在这个沙滩上,无无聊聊,拍拍照,看日落咯。
各位,没错,这里的沙滩有部分是黑色的。。怪怪的

夕阳后的景色,在河和海之间的一间小屋。
我个人是很喜欢这里,很有feel。。
