New Zealand Trip

It was 2005, April.
I was frustrated with exiting job which required becoming a general worker. Office politic had strangling me to the corner. I need to make fast decision before I going crazy. Seek for few advices from “caring service centre hotline” and girlfriend. Finally decided to carry on early plan- resign and fly away to New Zealand”.

Since my brother staying in Auckland, why not pay him a visit and stay there for 3 months. Excuses given by me was “learning English and polishing my English grammar for 3 months” (but after graduated did not see any improvement”. Haaaaaaah!!!

Started my “Study tour” in Auckland secondary school Adult Learning Centre” as pupil. Thanks to my brother for supporting me for the whole English course (almost 150 per week/ New Zealand Dollar). This was first time in my life studying overseas, getting know a lots of new things. Knowing lots of new friends from all over the world, such as Chinese from Mainland China, Thais from Thailand, Korean, girl from Yugoslavia, and also Japanese.

There was half day class and having plenty of times to spend after school and full activities after class. First, need to cycle back, it took me almost 1 hours. Haven’t really exercise before went, therefore felt quiet tough for me at the first place. Luckily I was young enough during that time and able to regain my energy to continue my journey.

I was stayed in Mt. Wellington, Auckland, every morning need to cycle to school. Journey to school was full of “adventure”, you need cycling through small slopes, both sides of the road full of scenic views (One tree hill, small town, scenic township view, small country side and etc).
I was fully used my day after school, review my school homework, surfing internet, making movie, and participating in Taoism class. Every weekend was my happier day, all the time full with activities, visiting all Tao friends, house warming, gathering, cooking class and etc.
I worked as renovation worker during free time to get some penny to spend (because all my expenses depend on my brother), I helped friend to renovate her house.

I was lucky having chances to travel to others states besides Auckland with my brother and friends during my stay in New Zealand. Tuaranga, Rotorua, Taupo Lake, Hamilton were the places that I managed to visited.（ I tried to uploaded my MTV here, but it was unable because it too big in GB）.

硕士时期

很不幸的，　我读了“硕士”，　成绩一向普通的我，　想不到有这个机会完成硕士班，　不知道是我好运，　还是马来西亚的教育体系及收生条件太低。

我攻读的是旅游策划，　所以理所当然，　到处去。　

第一项的工作就是去登加楼，因为当地州政府需要发展旅游业的关系，　我们一伙正好被大学委派负责该项任务。两星期的考察时间，　去了无数还没开发的地点，　走遍整个登加楼，　当时的我，　哪段马路上有“洞“我都可以告诉你！！！。

州政府待我们如贵宾，　未开放的景点古迹都被我们一一的“扫描“过，收集所有的重要资料，　完整报告。当地的旅游资源丰富，　未开发的古迹千万，　但是最可惜的无法善加利用，生态旅游的重点资源都具备，　独缺基本设施，　只要善加利用，包装景点，就能马到成功。

但是听说出炉的报告没被善用，　有潜质的景点也被荒废了。

接下来的精彩行程就是马六甲了，　当年州政府为了申请加入世界文化遗产名单里，　毅然邀请我们加入申世的策划队伍。我们负责了研究和记录“人文“方面的工作，　开始对当地华人，　马来人，　印度人，娘惹，ＣＨＴＴＩ（葡萄牙后裔）的研究工作。文化，　生活习惯，传统风俗习惯都一一的纪录在案。

这让我有机会的认识马六甲这个地方，　不单只拥有“硬派”景点，　“软派”景点才是灵魂。就从那时候起我开始学会欣赏人文和风俗民情，而不单单是建筑物。

巴厘岛是我最后一项任务，　所谓的“边旅游，　边学习”就是从这里开始。得到当地官方“照顾“，　这次的旅程完全“私人“化，　全程有专车接送。　素质旅游就从这里开始，人文就是巴厘最吸引人的地方，细心保留的传统文化，　加上合乎流行的包装方式，　成功销售。

　

大学时期

这段时间也是出乎意料的认识了一班好友。大学生活也非常写意，　除了上课，　就是晚上喝茶，　聊天。

这时期的旅游经历慢慢的“成熟”化，旅游及行程也开始有“内涵”。因为要完成计划书的关系，　几个同学一伙结伴到金马伦，森美兰，　槟城旅游。　接触的单位都不一样。政府部门是主要的“景点”。

中学时期

很庆兴的在这时期， 还是幸福的。

每天早上6.00点， 踏着单车，花1小时，到学校上课。不管风吹雨打，都没迟到。从单车到机车， 出游的机会越来越多。曾经一大班的好友， 载着已经被 “分配”好的女生，浩浩荡荡出发到东甲金山。那时候的金山依然风景迷人，溪水，瀑布都非常清澈。现在已面目全非。

中学时期的旅游热点不外乎几个旅游胜地：东甲金山，　新山迪沙鲁，麻坡天后宫，南庭寺，　马六甲古迹，　关丹ＴＥＬＵＫ　ＣＥＭＰＡＫＡ．

小学一年级到6 年级

还依稀记得， 在这段日子，虽然记忆是那么的模糊， 但是旅游的经历还是有的。 所谓的旅游还不如说是“搬迁“来的贴切。

出生于沙巴州的亚庇 （哥打京那巴鲁）， 三岁就“离乡背井”， 来到柔佛香妃城，一住就20多年，第一次的飞行， 完全没有印象。

但是我可以很自豪的说“我有一个非常完美的童年”， 乡村村童所拥有的经历， 电影里描述的乡间景象， 全都一一被我给捉住了！。在猪寮里嬉戏，捉迷藏， 爬树摘山竹， 榴莲，可可， 水翁。自制的武器也不少， 弹弓， 弓箭， 粘藤等等。好爽呀。

朋友， 就是那时建立起友谊， 直到现在。。。

经游！！！

在我的一生人当中， 冲满了不一样的人生经验。人生已过3 章， 但梦想依然离我好遥远。 已经知道梦想就是我一生中想出和做出的最大“慌言 ”， 欺骗自己的最佳借口。 现实已经不容许我拥有任何梦想，一再的犯错是我“接受”现实的步骤。可悲！！！

虽然“不忠”是我前半生的朋友， 但可喜的是“旅游”是慰藉我最好的“甜口”。说的也奇怪， 我旅游经历往往都和“常人”不一样， 而却非常少见， 可能是我工作的关系吧，半生里到了几个地方， 经历了和“普通”旅游假期不一样的经历和景点。我的工作也是你很难想象的性质。接下来可能会一一分享。
