Leaving.....again

Another time, another place, yet the same thing all over again, this time, I'm leaving Melbourne....

Been moving around almost the whole of my life...from Malaysia to China, from China back to Malaysia, then to Aussie, now back to Malaysia...yet this time, somehow its a little different, somehow, there is this sadness in me that i've never experienced before...

It's not that I dun wanna go back to Msia, hell, I've been looking forward eagerly for the past few months for this day to come, just thinking of the food and things i can do back in Msia make me wanna go back even more...yet, this period of time in Aussie did give me a memory that I will definately miss heaps.

I guess thats life, where we move on from one stage to another, learning and experiencing in each stage, discovering more and more of ourselves as each stage passes by...this is the way that make us grow up, and these are the things that make us who we are.

显显的...

好像...好久都没写这样的东西了...最近我的blog都只放了去了哪里玩啦, 哪里好吃啦, 在卖东西啦...*点点点*

今天过得...非常的显, 显到了有点受不了的地步...墨尔本又下雨了, 看来明天又是一个寒冷的夏天...

试考完了, 成绩也出了, 现在唯一的向往是回到KL的那一天的到来. 现在差不多每天的行程是:早上去Meeting Point上班,晚上回家和珈珈讲电话, 吃打包回来的剩饭, 看看已经看过的电影...过得实在是不充实. 我一向来是一个很喜欢一直有事情做的人,现在已经过了一个多月这样的生活,实在是有点痛苦

有一股冲动想立刻去买自己一直想要的DSLR照相机,可是自己心里却知道马来西亚是比较便宜,而且老爸也答应了会去PC FAIR帮我看价钱...所以也只能忍耐...忍耐....

成绩出了,得到了1HD 2D, 还算不错, 比起以前在Computer Science时得到的 P 和 N, 已经算是很大的进展了...呵呵, 转到Information System的确是一个没错的选择, 有时侯, 有牺牲才会有结果的...我这多出来的一个semester果然没白读了 =>

想一想, 今天过得那么显, 很有可能是因为前几天都一直有出去吧...出了一下, 现在又一个人在家, 竟然有了之前没感觉到的寂寞 =P

有时候做在电脑前, 唯一能做的就是瞪着电脑看, 脑子里完全不知道自己可以做什么. 如果老爸看到了, 一定会说我应该去读些Self-help books, 去学些以后在工作社会里有用的东西, 提高自己的价值...可是, 有时侯真的动不起来...一个人做事情, 真的没趣, 没动力...

看来我真的需要想想办法令我接下来在墨尔本的生活更充实...

NZ Trip 08 - Day 4 Taupo & Wellington

Yes!! I'm finally bloggin abt the NZ trip again!! Damn...this is taking too long time...

We left Rotorua early early in the morning (7am) and start heading towards Wellington. Reason for this early departure is because we estimated that it will take us 6-8 hours to drive to Wellington...

The morning sunshine

Tree-shaded roads

An interesting event happened on the way to our first stop, Huka Falls. While driving on the seemingly alright road, our car started to become uncontrollable, banking left n right forcefully outta my hand. I managed to slow down the car and stopped by the highway before crashing into anything. We were lucky to have no other cars nearby us.

A snap-shot of that moment

My initial thought was that there is a burst tyre. But after checking the car by the roadside, i see no problems with the car. Though the road is iced up that might cause the road to be slippery, other cars that passed by us doesnt seem to have any trouble driving on the road in high speed.

Icy road. The green stuff are actually some frozen plant -_-

Stopped on the roadside, unsure what to do.

After trying to drive again and stopping again when it got uncontrollable again, we decided to just push on by driving real slow. I drove at 30-40km/h for the next hour.

When i try increasing our speed an hour later, suprisingly nothing happened and the car seems to be normal, thus continuing our "normal" journey towards our first planned destination of the day, Huka Falls, which is located right outside the town of Taupo.


Huka Falls

Huka Falls is a waterfall created by this huge mass of water entering a long narrow passage, thus causing this rush of water to rush through this narrow passage and come tumbling down at the end into a lake/river/im not sure =P. Anyhow, you get my point.

When we arrive to Huka Falls, its still very foggy thus we cant see much. But we still do manage to catch a glimpse at the waterfall itself and an unique, cool, scenary.

After enough picture taking and freezing our ass off, we head back to our car and continued our journey...


Entering Taupo...

As we were driving towards Taupo the sky cleared up and a beautifully sunny weather shone upon us...before entering the town itself we made two stops: one at this small hill where we can see Lake Taupo and part of the town, another one at this unknown part of a river we discovered that is quite a nice place to just stand around n take pictures.

And finally...we enter the town of Taupo, to visit Lake Taupo...


Lake Taupo

Lake Taupo, one of the biggest lake in NZ. And its the size of Singapore. =_= A very very beautiful place and particularly for that moment we were there, blessed with extremely good weather ;)

SuperLoo requires an entrance fee to be used...

Thus i had to walk around to find a free public toilet to use... ><

Now...I'm not sure why did i climb that tree....

After Taupo, we commence our straight drive to Wellington, hoping for the good weather to stay.


Lindale

Jia speaks about a place where her dad always brings her for ice-cream right before entering Wellington. Since we are all quite interested in having it as well, we kept our eyes open when we were nearing Wellington for that mystical place speaks about yet cannot remember its name. As she saw the familar sign and shouted out at it, we turned in and here we are, at Lindale.

Rather than an ice-cream shop, its actually more of a barn yard with restaurants and shops for familis to visit during the weekends. A further lookup in the Lonely Planet guidebook shows that their ice-cream, are indeed famous as well =P.

Approaching Wellington outer suburbs

Arriving Wellington's outer suburb

The sight of Wellington excites us, not just because we have arrived finally after long drives, but we arrived almost 3 hours earlier. Always better earlier than later eh? =)


Dinner in Jia's Aunt House

We get to stay in Jia's Aunty place in Wellington, thus upon arriving we went straight to the suburb of Johnsonville, where her aunt live, and where Jia used to live as well. Upon arriving Jia's Aunt's house, we were welcomed warmly and unloaded our luggages, washed up, and had a really nice home-cooked dinner

After dinner and cleaning up, we decided to fully utilize our time and decided to visit Mt. Victoria.


Mt. Victoria

I have to say, its not easy to drive up there. From the very beginning of trying to find the way up within this complicated arrays of roads, till finding the correct alley to turn into has been a big headache. After driving rounds and rounds around the city and Jia calling some friends up for directions, in the same time looking at the maps, we finally, found our way up.

Me n Jia

It was very very dark up there, and as a few more cars came up filled with teenagers, we decided to head back down as the girls are feeling a little unsafe.

We parked our car at Courtney Place in the city and took a walk around. As an opportunity came when both HY and Jia went to the toilet, me n SH came up with a plan for a surprise birthday party for Chin Chui Jia.

And thus....a surprise birthday party for Jia that night!


A Mini Birthday Party

The surprise is supposed to come at 12am but by 1130pm we were all tired and ready to sleep, including the birthday girl herself. Thus, when she said she was gonna go sleep, we decided to just initiate the plan and gave her the shock of her life =P (yea, a little exaggerated there... )

The birthday cake, which actually consist of 5 different pieces of cake since the only place that sells cake that night has no full cakes anymore

Jia's bday present from all of her ji mui

Sorry, no pics of the bday girl herself since she refused to let me post her in pajamas =P


And thus...the end of Day 4...
