We spent 7 days in Auckland, got a car at $1500, bought all the adult things like insurance and licence registration. Walked crazy loads up lots of hills. Met some nice people e.g. Julian, Esther, Emma. Saw some nice sunset, enjoyed the cooling air, cheap gelato, cheap beer.
Then we went to Whangarei, Paihia, Cape Reinga, Ninety Mile Beach and Omapere. Super crazy beautiful beaches, seas and just loads of fresh air, sun and wind. Totally don't ever wanna go back. Who wants to live in a city when there's such a nice country??
We start work tomorrow for some persimmon picking. Right now we've spent a bomb on accomodations, and due to the high volume fruit picking season now in Kerikeri, there aren't a lot of beds around. We are now at Hone Heke Lodge, with TY in a dorm of 8 girls, whereas YJ and I are in a queen suite, which is more ex. The kitchen is damn small, and there are super alot of people. So we have to aim timing and chiong to cook & bathe. But everyone's really friendly. Germans, French, Malaysians, Taiwanese. Some cute guys around hahaha
It's actually a nice way of life, being disconnected from the Internet. There are like less than 3 smses/ phone calls on my NZ number. =)

how can we enjoy life in its most pristine beauty, when from birth to death, harsh realities dash our dreams?

first day!
passport kena randomly picked for extra long examination by customs personnel, such that when I finally cleared customs, all our luggages were already sitting on the floor next to the carousel. my luggage is like 25+4 kg!!! wtf
took the airport express to the hostel, only to realise we have to walk down a 60 degree slope. Please lo, the luggage I had to use the back of my knees to support. Can die from bruises! Wrist almost broke too! I'm so gonna get a 4-wheel luggage after this!
brought nokia handphone but left charger at home. brought camera + charger, and camera lens spoilt 10mins after arrival in hostel. epic win. this is gonna be one helluva ride.
room's pretty small, but it's clean and cosy. one cutie hunk spotted so far. kiwis are all rather friendly and helpful. weather's cold, but oh so wonderful!
may not update due to lack of free wifi. sms at the 0493 no. or else sms my old no, and maybe my bro will tell u my contact info.

movies
A Chinese Ghost Story: they thought their love could be a happily-ever-after. But they were dumb, there’s no such possibility. Even if one of them cannot forget the other, their love would still be destructive. never watched such a boring show that i yawned throughout.
Thor: to rule, the successor must learn how to empathise, even the enemy. Only then is he able to wield the power in his hands. sounds like we should vote wisely.
polling after lunch, a last check through, and then off to the airport!
we'll have fun! u guys take care too!
