* the caps lock is still not working *
i did four days of kuli work in the vineyard last week.the job's exactly like the ones you'll see the bangladeshis and indonesians doing in malaysia.no doubt it was good with lotsa outdoors and surrounded by mountains (some snow capped,no less) but it's also cold,eventhough the summer's on 1st november,it's pretty sunny but the wind's cold and we all wear sweaters and work in the vineyards.
there are some malaysians here.ashish told me i am the only indian from malaysia with a working holiday visa he's seen so far because working holiday visas are hard to come by.well,i got mine pretty easy (less than 24 hours)so i'll count myself lucky.lol.about 3 chinese,2 indians and 1 malay,all male.while the chinese are friendly,the malay guy is bossy and the indian guys are snobbish.they wouldn't talk when i ask them where they come from!i always thought malaysians are a friendly lot?
well,after breaking my back doing those kuli jobs and going in the sun without a sunscreen and caused my skin to suffer some sunburn,i am finally ready to move on.to christchurch.will be starting on monday and stay for 2 weeks,before moving to otago and finally to invercargill,the world's southernmost city!from there i'll be back up to wellington,hoping to be in wellington by 31st december 2006.
else,one of my hsbc mates are here,sharmini and her boyfriend (sharmini's from fd t6,moved on to eds,i'm sure all the fd-ers will know her).they are here to work for about 3 months,and are currently staying in blenheim with me.we were planning to go to nelson lakes or abel tasman national park this weekend.(due to bloody bad weather,my abel tasman trip had to be cancelled coz i can't even walk out my room without covering myself from top to toe,let alone go hiking and swimming and kayaking.it was raining for the 3 days off we got.nonsense!)
hope everyone had a good deepavali and hari raya,i am making a slideshow and a short movie of my travels here,and that includes getting some exclusive interviews from people whom i believe have made a significant change in my life here in new zealand.rean,you would be one of them!lol!
can't wait to be back to see all of you guys.i am having a good time here with not much worries in the world.we'd go parrrrrrttttyyyyy when i'm back!hehe!
till the next update,cheers!
