Awesome holiday! Puas hati and definitely will come down NZ again insyaallah jika masa dan kewangan mengizinkan.
Pictures all in Facebook. Sila la lawat jika berminat, next time anyone have any queries about NZ, let me know. More than happy to field them where I can (Cewah, cam tourist guide la pulak)
In summary, best sebab:
1) Makan sedap - Terima kasih kepada Abg Jastin + Kak Hani, kenyang 3 hari senang hati.
2) Weather best - Week before we came was really cold and rainy, but time kita datang weather was perfect! Loved it!!!
3) Scenery cantik - Bukit beralun macam dalam movie, and laut dia biru macam watercolour. Dammit kalau tak sejuk aku dah terjun dah.
4) Nice people - Also had the hospitable Farah taking us around the city and having a great time at the Te Papa Museum (me liking museums? Fair dinkum)
5) Last but not least ----> Lemon and Paeroa!!! Minuman rasmi NZ, dia adik-beradik Bundaberg Ginger Beer. Hehe, siap bawak balik sebotol nak kasi housemate minum.
Sekian terima kasih.

Hello Wellington!!!!
Arrived in Wellington safely Khamis malam. Sejuk!!!!! Nasib baik pegi April, bukan July!!
Abg Jastin was there to meet us, lama tak jumpa cousin aku yang sorang nih. I would've told everyone, and I'll say it again that I haven't met him for aaaaaaaages, almost 5 years. Wedding dia pun aku tak dapat pegi! Hampa!!!!!! Esp given that their family has been really nice people, and bila kita visit diorang jek, confirm diorang masak tahap kenduri, sedangkan yang datang tuh satu family jek. And then pegi air terjun kat Yan, layan mandi sungai sambil picnic. Cool as.
First day? Hehe, belum upload pics lagi tapi we loved it!! Lain gila from Brisbane, you'd go around the area and see buildings being built on hills, all over the area.
Seems that Wellington is a really hilly place, and when these developers plan the town, they didn't want to adjust the land contour too much, they somehow built the whole thing around it without 'menarah habis' bukit-bukau kat area nih.
Bukit2 dia pun beralun cantik, alih2 dah nampak kambing beberapa ekor melepak rempit sambil pekena rumput sesuap dua. Kenyang la korang.
Also, very quiet area. Would make a great retirement village, since there's enough amenities to meet your needs, and and awesome view to match. I think it's wonderful, tapi Jastin kata time spring lagi best, penuh bunga. Yeke??? Dammit!!!!!!!!!!!!
One trivial thing? No plate keta pelik. Format sama macam Aussie i.e 3 Letters + 3 Numbers, tapi dia punya zero jadinya macam ini - Ø. Layan gelak dua tiga kali gak ah.
Finally, the accent. Where can you start, or where cin you start? Pagi2 je dengar jiran sebelah cakap, "Yeah, just put it in the litterbox (letterbox)" Ahaha, sure I'll do that, if that stuff is litter material!!!! Nice bunch of people with a unique sounding accent.
Gotta go, nak jumpa Farah jiran kitorang lak tengahari nih, kat Um Te Aro (Believe it or not, tuh nama tempat tu...How Maori is that?)
Will update soon, happy holidays!!!

After a while!!!!
Hi guys,
Ampun tuanku beribu2 ampun, sembah patik harap diampun. Patik pacal hina datang mengadap etc etc etc...You get the idea :)
Sibuk bagai nak rak for the past few weeks, probably even months.
As you know, my company's currently under voluntary administration (A fancy term which in layman's terms meant "I don't have enough money to meet my debts, my business is a mess and I'm getting someone to help me out while I fix up the whole thing)
Happened back in 6/11/2009 (Public info, so I can share this). Took a while to get accustomed to the new ways of working (and still am!), and changing your work methods to adjust to the various business conditions. Had people been laid off in hundreds back in December - I survived thankfully, but hope to remain that way.
At the same time, kena admit nak balance the workload with your studies has always been a monumental challenge. Nih nasib baik still single and looking, kalau tak lagi parah entah2. Well, kena doa banyak2 la bila bangun subuh pagi and jaga kesihatan at the same time. Mintak2 ok lah.
But yeah, will update when I do have time. Sekarang tgh cuti Easter, Tuesday masuk keje. Woohoo!!! I do miss uni life (more like the uni holidays where you seem to have so many of them!!!!!) even though working has its own rewards, financial being one of them.
Till then :)
