Kia Ora!

Kia Ora! It’s my second day in Auckland!

I reach the Auckland International Airport at around 1pm yesterday. I was worried about the custom as I brought some BKT and Chinese Herb soup ingredients along. But obviously i got through safely lah. (oh ya, my friend reminded me not to use ‘lah’ but i can’t help it, it’s like the best word to end a sentence wtf....)

Oo and i did alot of stupid things that embarassed myself yesterday.

1. On the plane, i waited outside the toilet for like 30 seconds when it is vacant, until one ang-moh lady came and stood in front of me, asking if i’m waiting for the toilet
2. When i got off the bus and walk to the YHA, i think i nearly killed myself because the slope was so damn steep and my luggage was so damn big. At one moment, the luggage nearly go faster than me. Hows that. I tell you, there are slops EVERYWHERE in auckland. you will die if you walk.
3. I decided to stop-by at an internet cafe on Queen Street ( a very famous street you can google it). It stated so damn clearly ‘$1 for 30 min, $2 for 1 hour’. I dont know why am i so smart sometimes, i have to ask the guy again :

‘$2 for 1 hour?’

“yea”

‘and half an hour for 1 Ringgit?? (IMMIDIATELY REALISING I AM EMBARASSING MYSELF WTF!!!)’

“no we dont use ringgit here...”

‘(answering with red face and trying to cover with my stupid smile) sorry, i mean 1 dollar’

“ yes.. hahaha”.

Thank you please dont repeat that again...

Ok thats the end of the jokes.

I went to the i-Site (for information, obviously) when i stepped out of the custom. The people there are kinda helpful, cos I got my bus ticket to the town from them (Airbus – a blue bus – for $14 one way), and a sim card (i bought ‘2degrees’ but my friend said people seldom use this).

There are all kinds of people here. 100000 Japanese and Jap Restaurants you wont feel like eating sushi anymore, 100000 Korean you dont feel like going to Korea anymore, 1000000 Asians... etc. oh and FYI, i have one Japanese roommate, one Korean roommate, and one Taiwanese roommate. 1 world. (uhh, no more 1 malaysia).

And... my dinner for the first night is BKT. I feel like home lah... hahahahahah...

Ok, nothing more to update. The wind is very strong and i feel very cold. Till then!

Leaving in 2 days

Visa - check
Air ticket - check
Camera - check
Netbook - check
Luggage - check

Everything ready, except for money. and myself.

I'm still worried. but not that much. Only have to be extra careful when I'm there alone.

I met a friend who will be in Auckland in three days after I reach there. We've decided to meet on the day she arrive, so, apparently I have companion! :)

So what's my plan so far? I roughly browse through the net yesterday and found some place of interest that I can visit, but the admission fees are so high I think I cannot afford it at this point. And I think I would be pretty stupid to go to the arcade alone.

Though, I can go to the museum! I know some people might find it boring, but I love museum okayyyyyy.... Auckland War Memorial Museum is pretty interesting, compared to our musuem. They have exhibitions and activities. ummm.. then I can walk around the city, you know, like a real tourist. (hahahahaha...)

Till then.

YHA Membership card

I got my card yesterday ~



Its a 2 years membership card for RM70.

The person who sent me the card, Mr. Nesah, was very helpful because he brought along brochures and map of YHA in NZ, Singapore, Taiwan, Scotland, German..and a few more countries. aha, its so convenient for a lazy person like me :P

and... did you notice the 'category' column?... its stated SENIOR. eww.. i feel awkward to consider myself a 'senior' because it makes me feel like i'm a granny... *roll eyes*

青年旅舍 / YHA

刚刚申请了青年旅舍的会员。原本以为过程会很复杂，而且还需要跑到KL去申请，就慢慢的拖到了今天。刚才打了通电话去寻问，好心的负责人 Mr. Lionel 告诉我不需要到KL的中心去申请，因为他就住在我家附近啦～～他可以拿来给我哦。真的是太好了。。（偷笑ing）。

申请这个会员有什么好处呢？我能想到的唯一好处就是租旅舍时有折扣。

I just applied for the membership for Youth Hostel Association (YHA). I thought the process will be troublesome, that I have to go to somewhere in KL to apply. So I called the center just now, the person-in-charge, Mr. Lionel, advise me not to go to KL because he can bring the card over to my place as he stays around my area too!! woohooo....

Hmm.. the only benefit of this membership I could think of is.. I can rent a room at the hostel at a discounted rate. *roll eyes*

28号到达Auckland后也许就会入宿那边的旅舍先，然后再做打算。暂时这样。掰。
