False Alarm

View from me-room..

View from Queen wharf..

Lepas letih menapak dengan Maam, Hari Senin Minggu Lepas tuu aku amek local Air NZ flight from Queenstown to Auckland. 1 hour 30 minutes.

Dua malam last tuu kitaorang dok kat Auckland laa. I tell you what, Swiss Co got 2 offices in Auckland. Part of me-job is to visit them.

One manufactures Unit Gelang Utama (OGU) for Export Market in Henderson. Mesia salah satu pasarannya. Aku ler tolong menolong jual kan ker GLC2. One, Keparat Opih, kat mana ntah, hapakernama Parnell..Ntah. Half day in Henderson. the other half in Keparat Opih.

Malam last tuu, aku tengah syiok tidor enjoy the udara sejok kering (sampai gatae kulit kaki tuu) the smoke detector went off. Niii nooo niii noooo. Aku ingatkan apa ?!. Called the Operator, the operator kata takdork mender laah (hmm,. but in NZ english laa).

Masuk lebih kurang 5 minit. detector tuu tak berenti. Aku call lagi. Kali nii, operator cakap follow the exit sign. Kiwak punya Operator Orang tengah syiok-syiok beradu. Kena turun tangga pulak. Udah ler kami berdua dok tingkat 10..

Aku selow-serlow pakai jacket, amek barang yang penting, passport, ticket etc. Ajak Maam turon. Bila emergency macam nii, sokmo, teringat kat bbudak yang kena tinggey kat mesia. Can we make it..?

Sedang elok aku turon kat tingkat 9, aku nampak sepasang suami isteri, lebih korang 60an laa. terensut-ensut tarik bag sebesar minifridge tu turon tangga. Kedebum-kedebum. Dalam hati aku terdetik, kalu next time travel, kalau boleh laa, masa muda sikit. Masa tengah ghrokk lagi..Ntah laaa. Nak wat guaner kann.

False Alarm

Udah seminggu aku dok asyik pekena sashimi, kebab, unagi, miso,. tak kena sambal, kena ayam goreng belado kat Food Court Warong Indonesia niii. Puuuurgh best !!! Lahzat sunggoh. Tak sangka pulak Maam yang comey-molek tuu boleh makan serbanyak serbegini...

Chch-Queenstown-Auckland - 2

Udah sampai kat Queenstown, Ahad Malam aku terus tidor. Letih woooo. 11 jam perjalanan. With evahh changing landscape. Kejap ada valley, ada kambeng, ada biri2, kejapa ada tasik, ada frost. Kejap ada gunong kontang..

In front of Our Hotel. Best Dok ??

Senin-nya esok flight aku ke Auckland pukol 4:45 petang. Pukol 7:30 pagi dah bangun. Suboh kat situ ntah pukol lapan kot. So, kitoarang ada korang lebey 7 jam laa. Nak makan-ronda-shopping-amek-gambor-menghirop udara nyaman-pelok-pelok packing-check out, naik shuttle pegi airport.

Ondeway upp to Gondola Ride.

Masa aku book hotel @ Queenstown, via Air NZ, tiket tuu ada bundled kan sekali gondola ride for extra NZDollah 1. Aku amek jer. Freeee...

On top of Gondola Ride.

Queenstown was scenic, cold @ this time of the year, crisp, and frosty. Nok khabor snowy, dok jugak. Ada ingat Nak kepal-kepal snow baling maam,. tak cukop. Tapi,. dapat ler ghaser minus 2 tuu macamana. And I think, Frosty rather than snowy, is the rite word.

Yahooo.. ! I'm on the top of the world.

At the Gondola Ride, we just enjoy the scenic view, had a cup of Long Black. Hmmm.

(Kiwi nii suker benor kopi. Masa kat Exhibition tuu, Swiss Co punay stand pun siap hire one Barista. Buat Kopi).

Aku tengok macam best ajer bbudak naik Luge tuu, aku pun ajak Maam. Masa kat Singkapor dulu adala beberapa kali aku ngan bbudak try Luge. Tapi yang kat sini cam steep, plus the windchill factor tuu buatkan ianya lebih fun. Habis kecot segala baler..Haaaaaaaa

Can you Swiss Co's Father ?

After that, we walked around Queenstown. Shopping sambil menghirop udara nyaman.

Me and my big Juicy Persimmon, by the Lake..

By 2:30 we strolled back to hotel and waited for our shuttle to take us to the airport. Letih jugak. We need to exercise more next time.

Eh AhKak senior Junior.. Pueh ati a'ok ?Kwan letok gambor banyok nii. Haaaaaa. Fesbuk dok jalan.

Chch-Queenstown-Auckland

Bersarang sikit belog nii.

Tak sempat nak hapdet.

Boleh tahan jugak dengan aktiviti kelija-cum-jenjalan minggu lepas sampai terlupa belog nii.

*****

Minggu lepas aku outstation lagi.

Kali ni ker Cold and Blustery New Zealand. Macam dalam Winnie the Pooh tuu laa kot.

With Maam. Best tawww. Ada exhibition-presentation dan acara melawat kilang. Aku kira jadi macam spokeperson for some products laa. All this while, Ah Ken, dengan Ravin ajer yang ke NZ. Bagi can, haku laa pulak...

Last Thursday, we touched down Christchurch from Singkapor. Earlier when we booked our flight, we ordered MOML. (Moslem Meal), The way they spell Moslem tuu aku rasa macam tak syiok jer.

Aku dah agak dah, kalau order MOML, sure dapat nasik Hinndia. Kalau dapat macam Horijinal Kayu macam kat Kota Damansara tuu boleh laa tahan... Ini tak.

Anyway,

Biryani, Biryani, Biryani. Ada ikan masak kari.

Ditambah dengan Papadom goreng, Lama-lama boleh mereng..

Anyhow, the flight was OK. Sempat laa layan Satu Brad Pitt, Satu Liam Neeson dan beberapa joke tak senonoh Chris Rock. Sampai sengal bont*t laa dudok sepuloh jam. Ha haaa

Ntah hapa ker ntah, luggage aku dengan Maam delayed hari tuu. The next day, there was no Flight from Singkapor. The luggage only arrived the next next day. Aku dengan Maam hapa lagi. Shopppping. With a Capital asssss... Dah berumor skit nii shopping is no fun. Letih laaa.

But,

I got myself one nice belt.

An original NZ shoe. Hapa ker nama McIntyre. With deep mocha brown kalerr

Indon Made shirt with a pseudo cuff link.

and 5 pieces China Made for expensive NZ market, underwear.

The bill came up to be NZD 350 ++.

Maam punya, aku tak tauu...

Aku harap boleh claim laa from Insurance Co...
