Things are getting better

The reason that I stopped blogging for some time is because I feel that I can hardly find thing to blog. As I’m having a kind of repetitive life at work. What I’m doing everyday now is more or less the same like the day before. The main thing we do is try to rush all works and get it done so that we can go back early. By early, I meant get off on time. This is kind of difficult. So far after one year of work. I only manage to go off on time like hmm… three times, maybe?

At first I was complaining and thinking that my work load is too much and I’m doing job which are not equivalent to my pay. But after a year of suffering, I realized that things are getting better. Although the things that I am doing now is still increasing compare to a year before. New implementations, more staff coming in and new workflows now has been improving my speed of work.

Most importantly what I have learnt throughout this whole week is to have a positive mind set. If you keep thinking that it’s going to be easy and things will be.

So if I manage to get through next week which is a more challenging week, I will totally changed my perception in life. Yo… Must marked it down to see how being positive can change you. If this doesn’t work out on the more challenging week, then I will go back to my usual way of thinking. wahaha….

TSS Earnslaw Lake Cruise

Today is the day which we will be cruising on Lake Wakatipu. We parked our car at the roadside and walked towards the port. Thankfully that I went in early Autumn so the weather was just fine.

Photo with Lake Wakatipu before cruising.

While waiting at the port. Okay! This is an embarrassing photo. Attracted attention and people were laughing at me. Somehow forgot to change back the size of the picture after the first lake photo. So the rest of the photo is in landscape size.

Me with TSS Earnslaw

 

NZ flag

Me with onboard pianist.

 

View of Queenstown from the lake

This mountain range is called the Remarkables.

People playing shotover jet. Wanted to try this out but somehow too stingy.

Too stingy so just take photo with the pink biscuits.

We were counting NZ coins and thinking of getting rid of them. Since we can’t possibly exchange them back in M’sia. So coincidently we got exactly 5 dollars to pay for the keychain photo we took before we board.

We spent the rest of our time exploring the ship.

Collections of historical photos

Foredeck view

The engine room

Stokers on shift

This explains about the ship we were on.

Forgot whether this is a cafe or ladies coach which has no one in.

Reaching destination in about 1 1/2 hour time. This place is so amazingly beautiful.

Milford sound

This was my favourite throughout the whole trip. So this shall be the first post of 2012. We followed a tour so we don’t have to drive.

We got up super early to prepare but we still have no time for breakfast.

Had brunch bar as breakfast. We ate so many of these throughout the whole trip, just to save cost.

So early, the sun had not rose yet. Super foggy.

Slowly rising

Oh yeah friend chosen this tour because of their see-through roof.

-

Reached Te Anau. A small town with a beautiful church made entirely of glass. The bus moved along too fast. Couldn’t manage a photo.

Can really sense their hatred toward possum. But their fur actually feel quite soft.

Ended up buying one on our way back. Days later saw the same piece from a shop in Queenstown at a much cheaper price. T___T

Still long to go

Really cold. Just realised I can make this palm stamp and saw it vanished in a short while. 

First stop for us to take photo.

Next stop, mirror lake. 

See-through roof can get pretty hot at about noon time. :D

The second toilet break stop. No idea where was I.

 

 

For the whole trip, we have been drinking boiled water from our hotel kettle. When the tour guide said those waterfall water can be drink, we were so happy and immediately poured out our water.

I immersed my hand for so long under the water for this photo. I think my hand almost froze.

Tada~~~ No need to drink metallic taste water anymore. Happy happy~~

Our tour bus

The real spring water. hahaha…..

 

A video of the homer tunnel on our way to the milford sound.

These are the wow scenery.

Reaching destination. Look like Guilin or not?

Boarding pass to our cruise

Free tea. Sandwich bought last night from a convenient store. Super stingy asian.

On the deck

 

Signing guest book.

After a short while, I saw a lot of people looking out from the window. Then I realised they were all looking at these.

The end, the rest of the journey is a repeat of what we came from so I slept throughout the whole journey back. By the time we reached Queenstown it was all dark. We were dropped off at our hotel and quickly get changed for late night dinner.

Realised all shops close pretty early. It was about 9pm. We ended up having Kebab.

Then, spent the rest of the night losing up in a casino.
