Breakthrough! I LOVE SKIDIVE!

Today is a big day to me because I have overcome one of my biggest challenge~~ Phobia for Height!!!

I am so proud of myself because I have successfully completed my first SKYDIVING … Jumping out from the plane at 12,000 feet and safely landed on the pretty Wanaka Airport field….

RM1000 for 1 minute!!! Spent like a millionaire! But felt so worth it! It was so cool, so fun and so excited! This is the most fabulous experience in my life! I can’t imagine I can fly like a bird, make a wish in the air, enjoyed the spectacular scenery from high altitude and forget about the phobia!!

To be frank, once I was being “pushed out” from the plane, I felt so scare and almost fainted! Haha! But once I get used of the pressure and saw the river, lakes, snow mountain underneath me, I realized how lucky I am to have the chance to have this superb experience!!

Although the pictures and video of my skydiving were so ugly (because the wind was so strong and blew my face into very funny shape!! -_-‘’), I still enjoyed and have no regret to dive in the air!! As what ken and xinyi have said “l’ll regret if I say NO to skydiving!" I am so glad I have made this wonderful decision! And I think skydiving is one of the best activities that we must do when we are young!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOHUUUUUUUUUUU! I LOVE NEW ZEALAND! I LOVE SKYDIVE! I LOVE MY LIFE! And I LOVE being BRAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MUAKS!!

纽西兰

以前当我听到纽西兰时,只会想到草原,牛羊和新鲜口气。。。
但来到这里后才发现这个国家真是太了不起了!

想要看风景,随便开车走走就可以看到只有在电影里才会出现的雪山,山谷,清澈的海洋,碧绿的湖泊,成群的牛羊,天空大的成一个半圆形把我们包着。。。偶尔还能看到企鹅,海豚和海豹!晚上抬头看看,就能看到满满的星星。。。(从来没看过那么“热闹”的星星!哈!)
前往Kaikoura的风景

海豹就在路边等你。。。
如果你属于贵妇型
这里有纽西兰最活跃的火山泥spa(RotoruaHell'sGate) 还有World's Top 10的Polynesian Spa
高等纯净的绿石(Greenstone/Jade), 自然洁白的绵羊毛织品,拥有活性成分的Manuka Honey和一大堆能让你肌肤起死回生的Collagen, Paua and Thermal mud mask...
Hells Gate Thermal Pool

你还能到Marlborough出名的wine factory品酒,吃个烛光晚餐,然后记得买世界闻名的Sauvignon Blanc, some said “Think Sauvignon Blanc; think New Zealand”!
这是我爱NZ的其中一个原因!大概RM40就能喝到很好的酒了!

如果你爱冒险,还能够以不同的方式来亲近大自然。
坐Hot Balloon和跳Skydiving以高空的角度看风景。。。
体验纽西兰人发明的Bungy Jumping 和 360度旋转的Jet Boating,让你深深体会要爱惜生命。
还能享受开飞机,走冰河(glacier)的难得机会!
还有什么呢。。。?
Rock Climbing, White and Black Water Rafting, Ski, Swing, Kayak, Paraflight, Helihike, Sailing, Diving, Swim with dolpin......
只要有点储蓄,你想要怎样玩就怎样玩啦!我个人比较喜欢south island 啦!因为有雪山,风景比较美!活动比较多!
(p/s:以上一半的活动,我还没去玩!哈哈!不过就快了。。。又要花钱了!YESSSS!!)
该从哪一个玩起呢。。?

还有还有!旅客根本不需担心住宿,迷路,被人打抢,厕所肮脏的烦恼!
这里无论什么大小城镇都一定会有Backpacker hostel, B&B homestay, Hotel... 来这里一定要体验一下住hostel的感觉啦!那你就能和来自世界各地的朋友一起煮晚餐,聊个天交个朋友。大概RM40就能住一晚了!
另外还有非常有用的i-site,他们会很很很友善的回答你的问题,免费帮你订房和活动配套等等,还能拿很多的travel brochures! 很多i-site staffs 还是自愿工作不拿薪水的哦!
有问题?!去i-site!

如你附近没i-site, 不用担心!随便问个路人,他们一样能给你满意的答案。这里的kiwi(NewZealander)都蛮善良的,他们总爱对陌生人say Hi,跟他们买个东西,他们就会诚恳地说lovely,fabulous,wonderful... 路边有时会有人卖水果,但你不会看到人,只会看到个“HonestyBox”叫你自己给钱! 有时我们住的hostel门还是不会上锁的!我常说Kiwi都相信“人性本善”啦!
还有一个做得很成功的事情就是厕所很干净!不会有臭味,总是干干的,一定有厕纸而且是免费的!

说了那么多,不是要说纽西兰的月亮比较圆啦!只是发现踏出去真的能看到很多!很多事情,其他国家都能办的很成功!大家会常用购物袋和自动将垃圾分类,让国家变得干净。人民不用担心晚上出去散步就一去不会。开车出门可以看优美风景,而不会困在高速公路的大型停车场里。有什么地方漂亮就往哪里去,而不用安排几点该出门,putra要怎样接monorail, 搭taxi不会被“砍”。这里让我看到陌生人会给于一个微笑而不是抓紧hangbag...

但是我还是要Cinta Malaysia一下啦!因为它, 我能说多种语言,出国不会成问题!gossip时还能说Malay! Good la! 而且我们有3大种族的食物,不像这里酱boring! 还有想念我们热闹的夜生活, yamcha culture和shopping!这里的店大多5.30pm就关了,拜六礼拜又没开!(也未免太注重“worklifebalance”了吧?)!最后还有感谢我们4季如夏的天气!让我能穿t'shirt, short pants就可出门。。不需包的像粽子一样...
但我有这个机会踏上纽西兰这片土地,还是感到非常的庆幸!
而至于马来西亚。。。只要不去想它的政治,经济和教育。。。我还是很爱他的啦!
Haha! Malaysia! See you in February!!! Muaks!

Thankful...


Firstly, Thanks to myself for starting a new page of my life and the blog...

I took a long time to make up my mind to create a blog because there was no special reason or occasion to transform my ordinary stories into words. But now, i finally found some meaningful reasons to jot down my experience and journey not only for sharing, but also for myself to remember all these remarkable memories... because memories and feelings do easily fade away as time goes by...

Feeling thankful for my family that always believing in me for i gonna take care of myself and being supportive for my adventure.

Thanks for all the people (Sunee, Adrian, Ocean, Bell, Sanny, i-site staffs and countless backpackers) i met in New Zealand who gave me the advices, helps, joy and fun.

Thank you my friends to grant me to be in New Zealand with all your blessings. Deep appreciation to Will who willing to pursuit the wonderful dream and to see the amazing world together with me.

Appreciate the mother of nature and feeling so fortunate to have the chance and ability to be so close to it... love the mountain, sky, glaciers, snow, river, gorge, sheeps, birds, cows, dolphins, penguins, seals......

Lastly, thanks to myself for being so brave and determined to step into the outside world. It is time for me to grow and learn not to envy others lives but to understand that i am capable to pursuit my own dream life. I know i gonna love my life because life is beautiful in every way!
