Leaved Malaysia- Reached Singapore

Finally change my job.


Actually I get this job since November, but due to the efficiency of this company's HR, I’m just working this month. #$%6##5&^^###

Before leaving for Singapore, i didn't inform many people, but i still have a great KTV section with debate team friends. I'm so enjoy of that night. Woohoo！

And the day after, i reach Singapore.

The first day go to office report myself, and the HR told me that today is not consider ur hired day so no pay will be given. The reason is, i haven go to MOM do finger printing, and i have to do it tomorrow, because today booking has been filled. Alamak....

Until now, i haven been delegated for any task yet, most of the time spend for permit stuff, orientation and training. But I know that i need to work at Jurong Island, and i went to the office there also. Well, is a big refinery plant. Many stuff i gotta catch up. Wish me luck, please. Haha

* My working place is a refinery plant, got many stuff like this*

Guys, just let you all know that, now everyday i gotta wake up very early, 5:30am like this, and only manage to reach home at 7pm. Not that i'm hardworking, is because travel time to and from Jurong Island is really long....

Ok, talking about accommodation here, suppose, i should stay at company's hostel. But, the environmental there is really terrible. When i open my room door, i saw a bowl, which still have some food there, but nobody in the room. I believe that bowl belongs to my roommate, and he didn’t wash it and just let it be at the room for one night. Oh, my god. And, i decided to move!

Will move in to new room tomorrow, and the owner of the house is my senior, Kim Tian's friend. Please don't think that he find the room for me, is myself find the room through internet, and from chatting, I knew that the owner is his friend. See, how small of the world, and how many Malaysian is leaving Malaysia. Sigh...

More and more to tell, let me update u guys at Chinese New Year. See you guys. =)

Guilty

Yesterday, a draftsman came over my room, passed me the drawing.

He is standing in front of me while I’m sitting still.

He is waiting for my signature.

I look at him, his eyes shows me a respect as I'm an engineer for him.

I sign it quickly; I don want to waste his time.

Actually, I wish to tell him, I’m not worth for the respect that you gave.

I know nothing in design and I didn’t contribute any to company.

Or more precisely to say, I’m a trashman in office.

I’m just lucky; I have more chance to get higher education than you.

That’s all I owned.

Now, i think is time to develop more for myself.

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。。

Taupo

Taupo，距离Rotorua只有区区的一小时车程，据闻这里Skydive是全纽西兰最便宜的。所以，来到这里，就是要跳! 1万两千尺的高空中跳下！

报了名，缴了钱后，就开始怕了。。。。

换上衣服，就会有教练帮我系上所有的安全措施，就这样，我把我的生命交给他了。
教练会贴在我身体后面，和我一起跳。紧张。。。。

教练吩咐我遵守一些步骤，说一跳下来时，身体呈香蕉形，这样我就能面朝天的方向往下跳。

8个人上去粉红色的直升机。开始起飞，在机上，大家屏息以待。

好了，到达了1晚2千尺的高空上了，机门打开，脚伸出机外，屁股还坐在门口。

我很天真，我以为教练会数1，2，3 才跳下去。

结果不是，他贸贸然就跳下去了。那一瞬间，我还很疑惑，我身在高空了？！
接着，我马上感受但风狠狠地在我的脸上，我完全呼吸不到，因为风力太强了。
下降的速度是非常非常的快，太。。太。。太。。刺激了！！！
教练一直在我身后喊，banana! banana!!
好，听他的指示，身体来个香蕉形。
果然，我面朝天了，太恐怖了！！

10秒钟过后，降落伞终于打开了，下降的速度的放慢了，我终于可以呼吸了。
慢慢欣赏地低下的美景，慢慢绕，转下不同的方向，看着全世界最大的湖泊，看着雪山。很舒服。。。

终于落到地面了，太好玩了。

接着我看到有两位银发斑斑的老夫妇也准备要跳，很勇敢。为你拍拍手。

Dilemma

I have to make a decision which certainly deviates from what I want, or I should say a decision that must scarify something in my life.



Either work in KL, as a civil engineer, dealing with design work.

Or

Work in Johor, as an environmental engineer, dealing with landfill.


Working at KL, I got my family here; I got life here, even though doing something not I prefer the most.

Working at Johor, I can further my knowledge of what I learnt before, and I will be more confident on what I do.


Working at KL, can save my budget on accommodation and food.

Working at Johor (JB), the living expenses as high as KL, but I have to pay the rental fees of my room.


For the job scope, I prefer the second job; for the location and money, I prefer the first job.


How?!!!

纽西兰打工旅游之北岛旅记3

Rotorua

一个充满臭鸡蛋味道的城市，是火山地带，没记错的话，那臭臭的味道是硫磺味吧。这里有着各式各样刺激的游戏，但我一个都没玩，哈哈，省钱啊。去了wai-o-tapu thermal wonderland，这个地方就是一个有着各式各样的岩热地带，地形会浮现不同颜色，水的颜色也来个红橙黄绿蓝。这里的雾气很大，偶尔会让人自以为置入仙境。哈哈。虽然说这里是，火山地带，理应上，应该是比较温暖的，但，当天真的是冷到。。。连白天都一样冷啊！

（不同的“景观”，我也不懂怎样形容，它，就是很特别）

工作人员做了一番讲解，然后就看小火山口爆发，但我们都不理，拍照而言。哈哈

纽西兰打工旅游之北岛旅记2

Hamilton Garden

终于辞职不干了！开始一连串的旅游行程了！

我们的目的地，其实不是这里，刚巧路过，Lonely Planet 又把这里形容的天花乱坠的，就姑且来瞧一瞧。这里是个花园镇，有着各种各国花园的摆设，可以一次过见识各国花园风情。

(一踏入，就有一个很平静的湖；印度和毛利人的花园）

Waitomo Cave

这里最著名的是只有南半球有的一种萤火虫，洞里还有很多钟乳石。一进到去，就觉得很冷，冬天还要在冷水里走来走去，可怜。有幸的是可以看到荧光绿的萤火虫，可喜的是玩黑水漂流时，享受到急流，幸好的是玩垂降(abseiling) 时，还可以安全降落。在洞里走走爬爬了5个小时，体力已经被消耗得七七八八了，但，仍得爬上洞外，妈啊，我哪来的力气啊？！！

（又冷又脏）

纽西兰打工旅游之北岛旅游记1

Paihia
第一次在纽西兰旅游，事情的发生是很吊诡的，也很临时起意的。因为有假期，而眼看马来妹妹帮有计划北上旅游，所以就跟咯。

第一次出游，面对大片草原，大群牛羊，真是让人惊叹不已。美到。。。（但是回家的路程时就开始觉得没什么特别了， 哈哈）

到了一个长达90miles的海滩，这个海滩，我们不是用走的，而是乘坐巴士绕过的。很极端的地方是海滩的正对面就是一片很大的沙原，宛如沙漠。还可以在那玩划沙。奈何的是，我划下去那一刻来个大翻滚，幸好小命保得住，阿弥陀佛。

（天很蓝，水很绿，沙很幼，风很大；结果是我满身都是沙。 =.=, )

然后杀到 cape reinga, 是纽西兰最北端的地点。当天的风是大到，小鸟张开翅膀也飞不起，而我走路的方向也因此而被左右，而脸就好像被风一巴一巴狠狠地刮。

在那儿是可以望到很美的海，很壮丽的山，特色就是美而已。哦，还有一个灯塔，指引世界各地的方向。导游还会编制一些美丽的谎言，说什么在那儿许愿会灵之类的鬼话。

（从高处瞭望，就有大地在我脚下的感觉，#江山如此多娇，无数英雄竞折腰~~# 哈哈）

隔天去出海，看海豚！
看动物一向来都不是我的爱好，但看看无妨。结果就是有一群海豚游来游去，偶尔浮上水面，来个翻腾动作。对我而言，还好。但沿海的风景，是引人入胜的，海风迎面而来是很冷，但，吹海风是蛮舒适的。

（想不到我也有花钱看动物的一天）

纽西兰打工旅游之起居饮食

对于纽西兰的起居饮食，我很有意见！！！

我这种在马来西亚生活惯的人，吃，一就在家里，妈妈煮好。二，就在外头用餐。
但是，人离乡贱，到了纽西兰， 就没那么好命了

那边的餐馆不多，选择少，打烊的时间很早。
我们的金钱很少，时间多，自己煮食才最好。

一开始，为了省钱，为了工作方便，早午餐，都是面包。夹的不外乎cheese,果酱和火腿肉。晚餐通常都是意大利面，偶尔吃饭。这样的日子维持了7个星期，我瘦了5公斤。

旅行的时候，为了更方便，我迷上了泡面。哀就哀在纽西兰本土的泡面不好吃! 没关系，吃韩国的泡面，辛辣面。坦白说，我在纽西兰最能让我得到满足的食物就是辛辣面，因为它最符合亚洲人的口味。最最最腻的就是这三样，意大利面，面包，cheese。蓦然回首，我还是对它们感到害怕。

(意大利面，餐餐都有它 =.=''' )

居住的地方，九成九是住在backpacker hostel, 纽西兰流行啊，满街都有，又便宜，很适合我这种穷鬼。这种地方的特色是和一大群人共用厕所，厨房，甚至睡房，所以闲来没事的话，就随便挑一两个背包客来聊天，世界各地都有，任挑。但，生性孤僻的我，很少这样做。* 骄傲*

(这就是住的地方，偶尔还是会和老外交际的。)
