1ST JOB INTERVIEW SBAN 2011

          As the title mention. Walk by a bridal boutique in Seremban, saw there is vacancy for graphic designer. Walk in, fill up the form, ciao~


          While I'm dating with The Duke of Zhou, received a call, ask me to go interview tomorrow. 


          Actually I prefer stay at home and goyang kaki tangan kepala. Design is not really my kind of field. I feel like I have no potential on design, no art senses, sometimes feel like a color blind, typeface blind compare with those brilliant classmates. Give myself the final chance on design field. Telling myself how much I love design~


          I would love to work in advertising field, maybe. Still aim for account executive, maybe next time.




* While I am writing this post, my beloved cousin ask me to go for BANK JOB =.=|||

HAMILTON>AUCKLAND

          Last day work for exchange accommodation after 2 weeks. I AM DONE!!! with the house keeping things. I promise I will stay atleast 1 month, but I can't keep the promise. Feel so sorry for Kim. 


          Going to meet Tan Vi Vian in Auckland. So looking forward to see her after I been in nz for 3 weeks. She always told me that she can't believe I'm going to nz while I'm in Malaysia.


          Not enough time to clean everything, my beloved china friend said she will do it for me, damn touched! Big thanks you for Nancy! Have not much time, I run to the bus station and going to Auckland!

EXCHANGE ACCOMMODATION IN HAMILTON

          Compare with other states, Waitomo have more Maori than the other states, I think. Hamilton, the second city I had been in nz. Walk to Forty Winks. Unfortunately, my luggage's wheel broke down on the middle of the road. Drag my bags till I saw some shops. Saw a skinhead kiwi guy get in his car. I run to him and ask a favor from him. So he drive to the Fort Winks. Give him some Thailand and Malaysia stamps as a return for his help.
          Unexpected a Chinese girl open the door. Met the Hostel owner, Kim, English teacher for university . I am so in love with this hostel. Not big, 7 rooms only. 17 beds for public, 2 beds for the worker. House owner staying in another house with her 90+ years old mother, Edith. 

Edith in Forty Winks, Hamilton.

Exchange accommodation: work for 2 hours per day from 10am to 12pm. 
What I Do: House Keeper/Cleaner. Making beds, washing toilets, vacuum the whole building, classified the garbages..... 2 hours isn't enough, always overtime cause I will run away to somewhere else.

          Wake up at 4 am, packing all my staff, going to Melbourne airport. Take tram to the bus station, from bus station to the airport. The flight had been delay, passenger get a $15 voucher.

           I am poor, so I sell it to the other passenger.

New Zealand!!! 

Meal is horrible, but the ice-cream is impressive

          
AUCKLAND


          I pick up the worst backpackers Hostel in New Zealand Frienz.com. Climb 4 floors with my 28kg luggage. $22 room all were booked, I had no other option but go for the $25 room. Leave everything in the dorm room, run to the bathroom! 
          Meet the first ever Germans in my life. 2 beautiful German girls are sister. A coming to nz for internship but she is going to leave nz one week later. E is having a relationship with a French guy, so she still stay here for her French bf. Another girl from America, she is leaving nz soon.
          2 days later, meet 2 Malaysians who are from Johor, L & S. They invite me to go out for a walk. Someone are coming to pick they up by car. A guy from Thailand, Q, 32 years old, study in nz. Q fall in love with S. Thanks to Q, we had a nice ride. Q is a gentlemen, but S just want to use him. 


          Thanks to Easter Day, government department and banks are closing for 4 working days. Finally on 6/4/2010, done with my ird number and bank accounts, ANZ bank & Kiwi Bank. Buy the bus ticket from Auckland to Hamilton. Leaving Auckland on 7/4/2010.


          Auckland looks similar like Singapore. It's so Asian, Asian everywhere. Meet another Malaysian, Grace, she is from Seremban 2. Her husband studied in nz, work in nz, then he purposed to Grace, so she leave her beloved hometown and settle down in nz with her husband. 


          Is easy to get Asian food in Auckland. Maybe the restaurant too many competitor, $5 can get a Kebab or set meal. Kapiti, Designer Ice-cream, they do have a franchise store in Auckland. 3 scoops was $5.50nzd. 

27/3/2010-3/4/2010 IN OZ

          Before leaving the airport, went to Air New Zealand counter to buy the flight ticket to New Zealand. Haven't decided where should I go yet. Auckland? Wellington? Christchurch? Depends on the price. 

          I am too stupid to believe someone, who work in the travel agent, told me the flight is cheaper if u buy it direct from the Melbourne airport. So I spend almost all of money to buy the flight from Melbourne to Auckland, and it is twice more expensive! After I bought the ticket, the staff told me I must buy the leaving nz ticket. If not, they will not allow me to get into the flight! I was running out of AUS dollar, the worst was I had no credit card! 

          Thanks to my friends, I get my dad's credit card number few days later. Bought the F* ticket! Finally I left this f*ing Melbourne Airport! All things are settle. Worries all gone after i got the credit card number, it's just like magic wand.

          Stay in Melbourne for 8 days. Stay in BOZO, $25 per night. Nice place, especially the unlimited WiFi. I have 1 Japanese roommate. Forget what's her name, maybe Yuki!? She was in New Zealand for 15 months. She would love to immigrate to NZ if she can. Few of her friends ask her to marry with the local, but she ignore that idea. She worked as hair dresser in Japan, work and stand for 13 hours per day, she told me she hates the life style in Japan. She worked as waitress in NZ. I never saw her face without makeup.

          Meet a Britain girl. Feel she is special because she really very scared of cold, unbelievable. She reach here at midnight, she's freaking hungry, I gave her a pack of instant noodle. Glad to meet her.
          Meet 3 hot guys from French. Learn some French poker games. Meet few others backpackers too. The kitchen's crowded after 6pm. Everyone were coming back from study, from work, from travel.

          Saw some video shooting in Victoria Market. Obviously the series are all about police & fireman. Do take some photos.

          Victoria Library is impressing. Wii, PS2/3, Mac, the environment, the book collections, the facilities are really impressive. Spends few days in library. Such a perfect atmosphere for sleeping there.

          Accosted by a american man while I'm enjoying my ice-cream and sun. I guess he is in 40-45 age box. Coming to OZ for work and he is showing off that he has few houses in US. We started our conversation because he's looking for his friend. After that, he invited me for lunch with his friend. I can feel he is giving hints to his friend to leave us alone. His friend left, he suggests to drive me to somewhere else whether seaside or another city or ..... I forgot. So we walk to the car park. While we walk in the back street, he is holding my hand and touching here touching there. Feel so uncomfortable, so I change my mind not to go out with him. He's holds hard with my hand, then I'm showing my pissed off face to him. He wanted a kiss and tried to kiss me, my head struggle like a wild horse to avoid his mouth. Luckily some people passing by me, if anythings happen, I will scream! Give him a friendly handshake and run away like there is a fire on my ass. Force me to keep his name card, of cause I throw it away as fast as possible after he left. His name is Bob. From that on, I hate people who's name Bob.

          Leaving Melbourne on 3/4/2010. The flight was just 4 hours. Head off to Auckland.
