just repost

#REPOST two years go

(i think i never post this in my blog, so just repost it. haha)

I'd achieved my dream. I'm in my dream now. And my dream is going to end SOON.

Working holiday in New Zealand was my dream since I'm 17. Why NZ?? Because of my dad, he wishes to come NZ so much and this affected me to think that NZ is a nice place (it is!!). My impression about nz before I come here was just black-white cows. Haha! Actually a lot more.

i'm 20, the farthest place I'd been was just Singapore with family. I was the one who even have no gut to ask for extra ketchup in McDonald. It took me a lot of courageous to decide to come to the foreign country with the not-so-close travel mates.

Almost all of my family and relatives opposed me to go so far. And the hardest part was convince my parents.

And then I made my mind. I chose to do something that I'll never regret.

This 5 + months really changed my life a lot.

But I'm still me. Maybe better me, maybe worse me. Haha!

Anyway, thanks for those who helped me to achieve my dream. My sisters who helped me persuade parents, my friends who encouraged me, my seniors who gave me a lot of information about nz.

To my two travelmates. Sorry and thanks for everything. I'm always the trouble maker. Without you guys, I'll not in nz now. Tq..

Last but not least, I'm glad to know the friends from all around the world in nz. You guys really made my journey much more interesting. Hope someday we will meet again.

Love,

Chen Yuen Ling

一个月半

这是我一定要分享出来的经历。
大约两年前了，对.. 那时我在新西兰，
在Napier 住了大约四个月，我从来没有   想   家   过 ！！！
当时还以为自己很独立呢。
工作结束了，终于等到哪一天，带着凑了好几个月的薪水，环游新西兰！
当然，超兴奋的。
旅游第一天，我来到奥克兰，和旅伴们为了省钱，所以选择住在一间廉价的背包客住宿。
选择了 mix 的房间（最便宜）。就是一间房可以有男有女的。
“幸运”的！整间房，因该说是整层楼，只有我一个女生。
嗯，第一次跟7个不认识的男生同房，另外两个是我的旅伴。哈哈。
这还没什么，有些住客好像已经在那里住了很久，所以东西都乱放，邋邋遢遢。
这住宿楼下大厅，暗暗的，有人抽烟，dok bo，哈哈。我旅伴说这里很像 "鸡dau"。

在那陌生大城市里，很没有安全感。很不习惯。很..想家。四个月了！终于第一次想家。
旅游开始的第一天，我就希望它能赶快结束了 (当时的确是有点悲观，哈哈)。
8000公里以外的妈妈，打电话给我，因为这是我第一天出来旅行嘛。
他问我好玩吗。。。等等等的问题..
我却回答他反话，好好玩啊，我现在住的住宿外面还能直接看到城市的夜景。bla bla bla..
其实心里忐忑不安。
骗妈妈，主要是不想她担心我。
平时有什么不开心我都直接诉苦.. 没想到...
我以为这种情节只会在电视里出现..

之后的旅程，我把这间住宿列为最糟的环境。然后每当住到没有那么好的住宿，都会告诉自己，更糟糕的都住过了，这还算什么？
不过其实我也住过好几家廉价又漂亮的背包客栈啦。好像5星级酒店.. 哈哈..ok.. 题外话。。

一个月半，在新西兰悠悠荡荡，没有固定的住宿(废话，在旅行嘛)...
渐渐的，我学会面对陌生，不再那么害怕陌生...
乐观很重要，害怕解决不了问题..

My Hitch Hike experience. :P

I still remember the first time i hitch hike in my life!
Haha.. when I was in Rotorua, New Zealand.

In the morning, I walked from city center to The Red Woods ( a forest which full of red wood trees).
almost 4 to 5 km. took me around one hour to reach there.
quite tiring.

when I arrived. I need to walk again in Redwoods forest.
and i chose the shortest route, cause I've no more energy to walk there.

When i'm done, i decided to hitch hike back to city center!
haha.. because i don't want to walk anymoreee!!

I walked to the main road.
took me about 10 mins to shilly shally beside the road..
cause I'm really really paiseh to put my thumbs up to hitch a hike.

and then.. Finally..
i put my thumbs up~!
and start hitchhiking!!
yea.. many drivers ignore me....
Some dont even wanna see me, some wave at me.. Haha..
and i just keep smiling to the them...
haha.. feel so stupid actually..

after 7 mins... an old car approached to me...
the old man opened the window,
and asked, isit city center?
i said yes yes!!!
and then he asked me to jump in to his car.
wahhaaaaahaaa!!
successs!! ^^
so happpyyy!!!

before he go to the city.
he bring me to a recycle centre.
he dropped his recycle stuff that he collected to that centre.
i helped him...

His car playing very old style musics.
He chatted with me,

tell me about the news of Prince William born a new baby..
and told me later he gonna fetch his wife..
asked me about my trips in NZ.

and then. he dropped me at PaknSave. a supermarket.
i said thanks n bye to him.

he have a good heart.
Really happy to know him!
i hope he could stay happy n healthy!! ^^

一年前

今天是 23 FEB 2014
还记得一年前的今天，我飞到了新西兰。
改变了我的人生。

都一年了！时间过得好快啊！
老实说，我对在新西兰的记忆越来越模糊~
有时看照片，看video, 看回去以前的日记，才想起以前发生的事。

我怀念哪里的天气
天气冷冷的，不需要常常洗衣 :P

我怀念那里的人的热情
常常有陌生人对我微笑，跟我问好，和 made my day

我想念在那里认识的朋友！
来自世界各地的我们，那么刚好来到同一个地区，同一间 backpacker~
以后去韩国日本台湾泰国等，都有免费导游了？哈哈！
我也感受到了 “一别可能就是一世”。
好想他们哦！

很怀念新西兰的风景
当我踏在新西兰的第一步，我就看见了新西兰的美景了！
真的是超级美的，我词穷，无法用语言来表达！
总之跟马来西亚的风景非常不一样！
另外，我回国以后，我也开始会欣赏我国的美景了！嘻嘻

很喜欢当时的自己
人家说，在最tough的时候往往可以突破自己。
当时的我，独立，害怕却必须坚强，
意识到了计划往往追不上改变，
正面思想 还是 负面思想都好，日子还是要改过，事实还是不会改变。

认识了自己
原来我不是不会社交，而是其实我是内向的
原来我真的是个超级无敌的路痴
其实我煮东西还蛮有天分的 xD

我学会了唱歌
以前的我，不敢开口唱歌，觉得应该会很难听吧
在新西兰认识了一个朋友，她叫我玩尤克里里
边唱边玩的，她让我敢唱歌了~ 哈哈！
虽然到现在我唱歌还是没有很好听
但至少我敢 show 出我的歌喉 xD

等等等等....
太多的感想~ 说不完
有机会的话，我建议你们可以去试试这个打工度假‘...
你就知道我到底要表达些什么了 嘻嘻~

第一站旅行

还记得那时刚刚开始旅，
第一站是 奥克兰，
在大大的城市里，感觉很陌生，很害怕，再加上我住在一间超烂的住宿，
这是我人生中第一次跟7个男人同房，我是那房间唯一的女生，
那些同房在哪里住了很久，所以房间超级无敌的乱！！
还有晚上没有耳机是睡不着的，
厨房更糟糕！他们都不洗自己的碗碟，等...
真受不了！

可笑的是，跟父母通电话时，我竟然告诉他们..
"我很好，这里很好玩，很开心..."
为了不要让他们担心我
平时看电视看得多了，现在竟然发生在我的身上！xD

那时候是我来了新西兰那么久第一次真的想家了...

然后啊，此后的旅行我都拿这次的经验来当垫底
我都会想
“再糟糕的住宿我都住过了，这算什么呀？”

无标题

回国已三个星期了，
时间过得好快哦，
但在哪里的记忆好像是很久很久以前的事了，
现在一切回到原型，
可能思想变了一些吧，
很多事情 看开了，想通了，明白了，找到答案了，会控制脾气了，等
这些都是永久的
但过程，渐渐地被我忘了
无可否认，人的记忆真的很短暂，
再美好的事物，终有一天都会忘记
在新西兰我有写日记，但有时会偷懒不写，或为了交代自己 就随便写一两段就算数
现在有点后悔了
哈哈

很想把在新西兰的一点一滴都写在部落格里，
尽量吧
（等我有时间 有心情时啦 xD）
我喜欢这里人少少
想些什么就写什么
follow 我的人不多
在意我的人自然会来看
嘻嘻

好啦，就这样，掰

可爱的韵霖


个人觉得这图很可爱
送给读我部落格的朋友 ^^

Life in NZ

Hey friends!! How are you doing??? :D I'm fine here.
I'd away from Malaysia around11 weeks. Sorry for seldom contact with you n didn't post my photos to the net as what I promised ><
I got a job in a apple packhouse on the 2nd week when I'm in Napier, nz. I be the apple packer for the first two weeks, then asked to change to be trays filler until now. Filling the trays is easy. I need to make sure that all the 16 lines have trays all the time. So, I have to walk around these lines for 10 hours per day. Quite tiring actually. My legs are hurt. Every step I walk, I will feel the pain.:( My hand n waist as well, cause I have to carry the bundles of trays everyday, is heavy, for me.
But when there is not much apples, I can sit down , curi curi play phone n even eat apples. XD shhhh.....
Knew a lots of new friends from all around the world. Most of them are so kind n good. My roommate now is one Japan girl n 2 Thailand girls. They r really kind! I'm so lucky :D
I ate A LOT at here! I gained 5kg. I can see my big tummy!! @@. And my face is chubby!! I never be so fat in my life before..... Argh. I should control myself.
The apple season going to end soon. Planing where to go next. Hehe. Excited! I hope to sky dive, I want to visit the hobitton, I want to hike up to the "Mordor mountain"(the lord of the rings)! Experience the life in Queenstown. N meet my secondary school friend in Dunedin. I want to travel so much!!
Ok, that's all. Will update my blog once I free.
Take care friend!
Loves YuenLing. :)

Life in Nz : Daylight Saving

Daylight saving time. Start from today, Time turn back one hour in whole NZ.
Most of us forgot our phone will auto change the time. And we set the alarm as if the time didn't change.
Taadaaa!!!! So everybody wake up late.
Yah. We all too dependent on our cell phones. Haha!

One Step Closer to My Dream :D

我很幸运。得到了去纽西兰工作旅行的签证。
我有很多朋友都拿不到！
据说那1150的位子在40分钟内就满了！
而我记得我是在第35+分钟时submit。
2010年，九月份满
2011年，三月份满
2012年，48小时满
2013年，40分钟满！
越来越多人想去哪里。我真的很幸运咯！><

虽然得到了签证，但别开心的太早，别想得太美好。
去到那里，一定会遇到很多困难，会想家，可能钱不够用，可能找不到工作，可能跟朋友意见不合，等等等
再加上我的英文超级烂~ ><
好的坏的，最后都会变成难忘的经验。
我要突破自己，我要改掉不懂得socialize的我。我要学会独立。
不管怎样，享受眼前所有的一切。拍多点照片。好好珍惜这人生只有一次的NZ工作旅行。嘻嘻 :D
