six months

Monday, May 17, 2010

Today marks the 6th month since I have arrived into kiwi-land.

Wow,has it really been half a year?The time for me to leave is creeping nearer and I am already feeling heavy hearted to leave this beautiful country.

Yes,it's true that I don't quite like it here when I first came,but NZ has really been growing on me!However,now that I am starting to get used to be living here,it is also almost the time for me to leave.

A lot have changed since the 17th of November six months ago...

Unlike the clueless,thoughtless dumb ass six months ago,who have bought himself a 220NZD air ticket ON THE SAME DAY to Queenstown just to spend half of his fortune there for nothing,now I can really give sound advice to newcomers who have just arrived into NZ for working holiday;and unlike last time when I don't even know some of the most famous places to go in NZ,now I sorta know my way around the country...

I think I've definitely changed.Not just tanner or thinner,but sorta stronger and more independent.Just sorta,because there are still so much more to learn!I even learnt to cook some simple dishes so that I won't starve to death in future!

Just one more month,then I will get my first taste of travelling alone in a foreign land.It's short,it's insufficient,it's probably even nothing compared to those girls that I've met who have been travelling alone since the very beginning;but still, it will be an experience that I will never forget.

Hmm,its a memorable 6 months of my life,something that I will never ever forget.Thanks to all my travel mates,and all the great people I've met here (so far),and also to the people who gave me crap (like my landlady whom I will blog about some day in future)...A big thank you for accompanying me through this memorable journey.Its a bit cheesy,but I mean it!

and I get back my passport from immigration today!well,the courier post actually arrived since Saturday but my landlord decided to keep it from me until I ask him for it wtf.My work permit extension of 3 months has been approved and there is now a very nice blue-sticker-visa on my passport!This is a big improvement compared to the lousy stamp I received from custom when I first arrived here,just because I applied for an e-visa instead of sending my application to immigration dept. =p

All in all,today is a very happy day for me!What's more,I am moving into a very nice and cosy new house tomorrow!It only cost me half of what I am paying here!The crappy landlady here can now kiss my ass good-bye!

Must get packed now!

SYOK!!!

一趟旅程,大家都成長了
真的沒有後悔,雖然出發時兩個人,最後剩下的只有我一個人。其實,反而覺得醬更好。讓我更深入體會一個人的旅行。
6個月過去了。夢想還是ing……加油!實現了一個,還有兩個、三個在等著我們。加油=)

You called yourself psychotic?!Travel alone is good. You'll love it. For me i prefer to travel alone, 100% flexibility, 100% freedom, 100% uniquely own experience.
