22/9/2010-MID AUTUMN FESTIVAL IN AUCKLAND

突然想起去年的月饼节
只能用很倒霉来形容

答应要一起从蒂普基去Auckland被放飞机
英国友人 LIZ 突然面色变成死灰色
痛到流泪  走不到路  晕倒在街上  被她吓死
身高180+cm  体重不会少过85kg
两个相对算是娇小的亚洲妹 根本没能力扶不起她
快手快脚的扶她到最近的诊所
一进去就得付$75纽币=RM187.50
药物另算真的太贵了
等了很久，LIZ出来医生说她得立刻去中央医院住院+检查
医生说怀疑是绝症
LIZ被吓到崩溃大哭

跟LIZ住在一起有段日子
绝对了解她的饮食习惯三餐全是快餐：不是薯条汉堡就是fish & chips
最夸张的是  我从没看过她喝开水
她体内的水份全是可口可乐support的
有派对的时候就50%可乐+50%的酒精
很难相信吧！
跟着她去医院也帮不了她  就目送她上taxi

山长水远的来到Auckland
就是要买手信寄回马来西亚
因为如果透过中国商店寄回去可以省会百多纽币
透过纽西兰的POST SHOP 真的超贵  大约要$200++纽币
邮寄便宜当然有条件啦  就是要在他的店买东西
买了很多东西
结果中国奸商又说没这样的邮寄价钱
真的给他炸到内伤！被骗了！钱也给了！
真的很生气咯！
东西没寄到  行李重上加重  又饿  又冷  又累  又重  又被骗了
倒霉到家去！

什么也不理了
两个妞去找传说中的奥克兰最好吃的叉烧饭
走了半个小时  两人快要放弃的时候

来到这里：Tai Ping Trading (Asian Market)

倒霉了一整天  饿了一整天  走了一整天
看到这间店  差点感动到流泪
卖叉烧的uncle人很好
狂赞他很帅就送多点叉烧~开心到
店里是卖杂货之类的
没有桌椅
就到店对面的公园吃

$10NZD 是很贵 但是真的很好吃！是我吃过最好吃的叉烧饭！

叉烧代替月饼，在很大风很冷的公园里赏月。

进口月饼真的是天价 所以这年没吃过月饼

2010年的中秋=DoreenTu，叉烧饭，没月饼
难忘又凄凉

离开Auckland之前
拨电话问候LIZ

第二天才做全身检查验血照X-Ray

回去时蒂普基是
本来4小时的路程

我们花了6小时才回到

是的！！我们迷路了！！

回来的路上经过那种只要关了车灯
暗到伸手不见五指的地方！
又被吓倒了！！
好不容易回到蒂普基又被感动到  我还活着也！！

最难忘的中秋啊！！

*LIZ body check 后，有算是不是很严重的肿瘤，一定要开刀，但是她还溜到澳洲玩到美国去。一个半月后回来纽西兰开刀。没事了后，又三餐KFC+PEPSI/COKE!真的是个疯子！
但是我很想念她！

          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!

AUSTRALIA TO NEW ZEALAND

MELBOURNE


          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. 

MEET VIVIAN

See you tomorrow!
In Auckland!
