Thank you, Readers

Yes, there are slow updates in this blog recently due to lots of reasons. No idea what to write, spend more time on sleeping, busy looking for job, meeting up with friends and other excuses reasons. Reasons, reasons reasons. There are always lots of stupid reasons with no update.

I couldn't deny there is always a little sound with me, 'it's alright without update!', 'Not many people really care whether you are updating your blog or not'. 'Hey, not many people reading your blog!' However, I was once proven I was wrong! I received quite a number of messages from some people that I don't know after some of the updates in the blogs.

"Hi there, Read your blog regarding New Zealand working holiday. Previously found it in Cari. Your articles are interesting and useful as I am going to NZ for WH in this coming October, would like to thank you for sharing your experience on your blog. Hope to read more from your blog soon."

"Hi Hui Yi,

"I am interested in working holiday visa and I found out your blog through forum.."

All of this definitely encourage me to continue to update my blog. And of course, it's always glad that my information of working holiday helps those who are going to working holiday in New Zealand. I deeply understand the feeling because there are lots of questions with me when I just started my working holiday.

I'm swear I'll update my blog more frequent!!!

New Zealand - Item to sell!

Can't believe that New Zealand Working Holiday for 2012 can be finished within 2-3 days. It's definitely crazy. I still remember during 2011, the quota finished in March and those Ex Working Holiday people shouting that it was too fast to finish! And back in 2010, it took 10 months time to fill up the quota. So, what happen to working holiday? It becomes a trend? Or people start looking forward to see the world outside?

If I were apply in 2012, I guess I won't be able to go New Zealand anymore. Haha~ Anyway, congratulation to those who are being approved in 2012~your new chapter of life is gonna kick start.

Since now we r stepping in 2012 and I should said good bye to New Zealand. I might back to New Zealand again another 10 years? Or, I might not returning to New Zealand anymore. So, I would like to sell of my New Zealand item.

1) Vodafone broadband stick + Sim card. SOLD OUT

 Some of the area in New Zealand is hard to get free internet access and that's the reason I purchase this.
Selling price: NZD 10 /RM25 (stick + Sim card)


2) New Zealand Dollar SOLD OUT

I'm taking the middle rate of selling price and buying price. I'm fair right? Currently it should be 2.45 as middle price.

My Taupo Skydive Video

Yeah, I had shouted out loudly that I did my skydiving and posted all the photos. All these are never enough, some live video should be best to elaborate the fun!!

After sooooooooooooooo long time, finally I uploaded my virgin skydiving video!!! Since I have the video, how can I keep it to myself??

Ya, I know I looked stupid in the video, I was too enjoy until I forget to look into the video. Hey, I paid for the video how could I forget????? -_-'' Luckily the videoman kept on tapping on my head to remind me. Haha! Yeah~

Pupu Spring

This Spring is claimed as world clearest spring water! Opps, it should be second clearest spring water because only spring water at Antarctica can claimed as world clearest spring water. That was what the staff at i site told me.

Pupu spring, or full name Te Waikoropupu Springs is located at Golden Bay. So when you are at the north part of South Island, you must visit this place.

Second clearest spring water!!! How to find such a clear spring water???

That early morning was having a heavy downpour, I think if without the rain, the spring water should be even clearer.

Although the water looks clear, but never drink the water!!!!! Why? Due to the complicated geographical factor which I lazy to explain  the water is mixed with sea water, therefore the water is not edible!!!!

They even set up a special mirror to let the tourists to have a look on the underwater!! ^^ I like the idea so much. How creative are them.

Again, we squeezed ourselves in to proof we had been here~ Cheers~

Sky Diving

Everyone come to New Zealand has their own 'must do' list. For me, one of the 'must do' is sky dive! Yes, sky diving~ Early morning, we were picked up by this company and did our virgin skydive at Taupo.



We were so worry that the weather might change to bad as the forecast showed that it should be raining on that day. Since the first day I come to New Zealand, I read forecast very frequent and I would say the accuracy of the forecast is up to 99% . However, we were so lucky that the day was just fall within the 1% of the inaccuracy. How lucky were us!

Here are the reception counter.
Can you see the aircraft behind us. Yes, it brought us up to the sky!





My name was up there!! I was ready for sky dive, 15000 feet height!!!



Ready for my precious photos?



The attire that we had to wear for the sky dive!

I jump!!!

Sky dive is really super fun. I felt nervous at the moment we jumped out from the plane but after few second, my feeling changed!

I enjoyed the moment, I was flying in the sky!! Fly!!

Something unexpected was i felt pain in my ear after few second due to the pressure difference. However, it did not last long and I still can enjoy the beautiful Taupo view high in the sky. I even saw Mt Ruapehu.

fly away...

Yes, I came, I felt, I conquered.

We did it  I never think that I'll fall in love with sky dive. Yes, I love it.

The Dairy Farm

If you never step into dairy farm before, you are not consider step in New Zealand. That's what I think. When we traveled around New Zealand, the things that we saw most frequent were grass, sheep, cow. In another word -  farm.

Yeah, farm. Today let me zoom in and show you the actual face of the dairy farm. After the visit, I found that I was being cheat for a long time.

Here are the milking machine. Yes, now we are staying in era of technology, no more milking manually. NO manual. I was being cheated before I came to New Zealand. Now I know. I won't be cheated anymore!!

The cow queued up for the milking process. 

The milking machine, it vacuumed the milk out. According to the owner, they can obtained 20liter of milk from a cow per day. Amazing! How the cow stores such a big amount of milk in their stomach???

I had to squeeze myself in the photo to proof that I had been here.

You see, I helped the owner to milk the cow. But, only one. Haha~Why? There was a walkway in between for us to milk the cow. If you are observant enough, you will notice all the cows queued up left and right and we were standing in the middle. Now, the biggest problem occurred, all the cows faced us with their butts!!! Those cows poo non stop and you will never know which cow is going to poo at that time. If you were lucky enough, you will get a free warm and fresh face mask with a special aroma.To avoid such unique experience, I did a quick milking and escaped ourselves from the trap!

The second discovery. Can you spot the difference of this cow???? Cannot?? See carefully... Yes, this cow has horn on it. HORN? Why there is horn on milk cow???? Since I were small, all the picture in story book showed milk cow has no horn! Now I know, they actually have horn but just cut by human.Yes, they cut it to prevent the cow hurt by others.

This pity cow get sick. That's why he can wear a clothes.

Since we were here, we must try the fresh milk. Yes, fresh milk from their stomach without process! Sound disgusting because lots of people said that fresh milk doesn't taste good. Anyhow, I should try it so when I back to Malaysia, I can tell everyone what was the taste of fresh milk. Wao, such a big job.

Out of my surprise, fresh milk tastes good!! The taste was just like the milk that we bought from supermarket but the fresh one taste much delicious! Yes, yummy and delight. You see, I was being cheated again!

After the milk tasting, we saw the way they milk the cattle.

This was the cattle's lunch box.

Zoom in.

They pour the milk in and let the cattle drink. Some cattles were too young and they don't even know how to feed themselves. The farmer had to teach them.

Working in farm is really hard. Now, I know how the milk I drink everyday comes from. It's not an easy job to get the milk. I'll appreciate every single drop of the milk from today onwards. Yes, I try. :P

Buzz Buzz Buzz...

After the alpaca farm, this round we went to the bee farm. This bee farm was owned by my house owner. When we first arrived, we just saw few boxes on the ground. That's all! He told us that bees were inactive during the winter time and the best time for them should be in summer time. Har? We came all the way just to see the few boxes??? I nearly forgotten that when we went to the bee farm in Cameron Highland, we also saw the boxes only.

Before we could get ourselves close to the little bee, we were given this outfit to protect ourselves. 

Look funny right? That clothes was super big for me. But, life is more important, I don't want being stung by bee as a memory for bee hive trip.

We looked like the astronauts.

Yeah, we were ready to go outerspace!! Captain, please lead us!

We were ready! Please open them. I want to see the secret inside.

Tata, the houses for the bees!!!

Bees......

Buzz Buzz Buzz...

After the frame was taken out from the box. I felt itchy when there were too much bees surrounding me.

Close shot. The honey comb, perfect hexagon. Those bees must have a micro ruler to measure it.

The larvae of the bee.

The queen of the bee. Out of my surprise, her body size just slightly bigger then others. Can you see it? Just spot for the bee with white dot on her head. How come there was a big dot? Perhaps that was her crown.

Bee with pollen on his leg. Can you see it?

My house owner kept on reminding us not to drop the frame. Okok, I know, I don't think I need the experience of being chased by a swamp of bees.

We were full with bees during the photo taking session. Hard movement.

Yup, that's all for the post. Time to sleep.
