I met Jenn last night and she told me that my blog replaced by "Announcement" but not the name of places i had visit anymore.
This make me sad for awhile.
Not that i don't have trips to update, but i have no time to update.
This is a difficult post for me, because this is the last post about NZ.
C'mon, real real one la, i know i mentioned the same thing in last post.
So forgive me if you found familiar with some photos below, i'm not very sure if i posted them before, and i'm lazy to search it out post by post.
Because for this last post, i'm trying to dig out photos that i left out in previous posts, so this post can be theme-less, because all rojak
First part, the leaving of Kinna aka Julien, if you guys wanna know why he called Kinna, this is come from Taiwan Mandarin, Si Kin Na, means spoil kid. You won't agree more if you know him in person.
But yea, only kid likes him has the guts to backpacking in his 19. He's brave, i cant agree anymore too.
This fellow sneaked in my place for 2 days without letting Claire know.
Dino and Alice, Kinna and Me. The best summer ever =)
Claire and I
That also my self-farewell leaving from Motueka to my trip. I know God always love me, by leading me to meet good people in this trip.
Such as Dino and Alice, and Claire, my landlord in Motueka.
The day before i left, Dino and Alice came and look for me in my place, just to say goodbye and want me to take good care on myself, like my parent did.
How blissful am i to have them in my journey. I miss you Dino and Alice, of course you too Claire, and the little hut that i spent so long in Motueka, all these my sweet memory in my life, i can never forget those old days.
The second part of my trip is the journey from Queenstown to Lake Tekapo, i passed by a place called Omarama, which is not an attraction at all, i never heard of this place before and after i been in NZ.
So i always say, the most beautiful part of backpacking is, you will have much more surprise in your journey.
Like i found this fantastic place on the way to Lake Tekapo.
I say it is fantastic just because i never been such place before, i mean, a place close to desert.
I got the feel that BK mentioned from this view
NZ's weather changes in a minute, and weird. Half sunny, and half cloudy.
Like i mentioned thousand times before, driving in NZ is an enjoyment.
Because most of the time, its make you feel like you're the owner of the road.
Nothing, but desert
long way to go
Frankly i dislike desert, or place like this, make me feel the world is going to the end and i was all alone in such a hopeless place.
But heck i cant deny the beauty of this place anyway.
I never ever thought of a place like this is existing in the middle of the south island, this is a surprise and somehow amazed me alot.
And this journey let me got to see another side of NZ.
By the way, there is a small township in the middle of this highway, this is a long way with all the view like above, if you want you can just stop by and get to know the people in the town, talk to them and listen to their story.
This is what i used to do when i was travelling in NZ.
And the 3rd part.
The end of the journey. I mean, going back to Christchurch, catch up the flight to Auckland, and leaving.
I remember i told Gary once, Alpaca has a funny Chinese name, called Chao Ni Ma.
Surprisingly he got what i mean.
Hey i'm serious, my friend from China called it Chao Ni Ma, direct translate to English is Grass Soil Horse. And don't ask why, i have no idea at all.
Well, Aston leave us and stay in Lake Tekapo after i had to go to Christchurch, a regret for her because she hasn't had chance to see anyone of alpaca throughout the journey.
Finally Kinna and I found a huge group when we were on the way to Christchurch.
Group of alpaca, different size, different color
Farewell dinner. Last meal in NZ.
We rushed back to Christchurch 1 and half days before my flight, for 2 reasons.
To meet June, Dino and Alice, who came all the way from Motueka, a total of 5 hours driving distance to Christchurch, just to farewell me for another time.
No matter how selfish am i too cant reject the kindness of them.
So we meet for dinner, joined with Sam and Poon from Ashburton.
Give each of them a damn big hug when they were sending me off to the airport.
June dropped her tears and really make me so nervous, and happy, was comforting her but cant stop smiling. I know if i don't, i will too drop my tears.
So there i boarded to Air NZ, flight to Auckland, caught Qantas and flied to Melbourne.
In some airport
Don't get me wrong, i was lying on the floor and this is the reflection on the celling wall
I guess this is in Changi Airport.
In Changi i bet
Whole night long i couldn't sleep well, because i know my journey has came to the end
I cant really remember clearly, which airport it that in my photos. I stopped in 4 airports on the way back to Singapore. (My flight destination is Singapore, i wasn't decided to go back to Malaysia yet that time) Took me about 1 and half day to reached Singapore.
Keith came and meet me in the Melbourne airport, brought me out for a quick dinner and send me back to the airport, as i only have 10 hours stay in Australia.
I didn't get any photo in the land of Aus., forgot to took my camera out and seriously, i dislike Australia, nothing worth me to capture for my memory, except some people that i love who are surviving on this land.
10 hours later i flied to Singapore, and this is not my country too. I mean, not my type of country.
I reached in late night, as a backpacker, i have to spent every single cent wisely for next trip, i decided to stayed a night in the airport, and check-in to a hostel in the next morning.
And Singapore airport was the hmmm... 5th airport? that i had slept in. I just cant deny, this is the best airport for overnight. You can always find some silent corner with great view and slept in safely.
Well i haven't realised that i spent whole night on a piece of visible glasses until the day came, seriously freaked me out while i woke up by thinking i was hanging in the air. LOL.
So, here is the end of my whole 9 months journey in NZ. Thanks for those who is following my story of the journey all these while.
The end of NZ, doesn't mean the end of my backpacking journey. I know i have long way to go still.
Coming will be the journey in Sing' Land, China, Malaysia, and Sing' Land again.
Hopefully i will get the offer to Abu Dhabi, then you can see me in tudung. LOL.
Thanks reader, your support always be my motivation.
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
