Today only sleep for few hours, woke up at 4am which is 8pm New Zealand time, I think I have not adjust back the time back to Malaysia time zone. What to do woke up so early? Online, I saw Johnny on my MSN list, I asked him whether he reach home or not, he replied me he still in New Zealand, extended his stay until this Sunday. According to him, he has ‘asked’ to extend few more days until the system is stable. Really pity him.

Since I already woke up so early, so I decided to go office early, scare got some problem raised by New Zealand and have not fix yet.

I only work for half day, very tired on the afternoon and today company has midyear assembly meeting in PJ Hilton Hotel at 2pm. Already many years I didn’t join this meeting. So I use this opportunity to rest at home. I wrote an email to my boss telling him that I am tire, need to go home to rest. I didn’t wait for him reply straight pack the notebook and go out of the office.

Mummy called me thought I am on leave today, stay at home. I told her I am taking half day leave, but I did not submit any leave form to my boss. Can I ‘earn’ a half day leave? Really tire, head feel heavy, so first thing I do when reach home is to sleep, sleep and sleep.

I didn’t do anything except sleep, eat, play with Carmen and pay bills. Tomorrow have to work, I think of taking a day off, don’t know approve or not. Never mind, if tomorrow morning can wake up early then go to work, else take a day off, let’s plan it this way. I think is still reasonable if I want to take a day off after flying back from New Zealand, I believe my boss will understand that. Everything decides on tomorrow. Good night.

At last today is my last day in New Zealand. Very exciting to go home because can see my mum, mummy and Carmen, I miss them very much. Another thing that makes me happy was I received SMS from mummy that she will fetch me home from KL Sentral, that’s really great news to me.

After 10+ hours sit in the plan, we are landed safely. For foreigner ‘Welcome to Malaysia’, for Malaysian ‘Welcome home’. When I on my mobile phone, I received few missed call and messages. I received missed call from mummy and message from mummy too, mummy cannot fetch me home, she got job, need to stay in office to settle it. It was good news to her boss because she has a responsible staff, but bad news to me.

As planned, I took KL Express to Brickfields then take cab from there. This is the fastest way to reach home, because if take cab straight from airport might caught in traffic jam on the way to town. Train won’t have traffic jam and it only takes 35 minutes to reach town and 15 minutes to reach my home from there.

On the way back, I gave my mum a call, because I scare they lock the main gate, so I asked my mum to get ready to open the gate. When I reached home, I saw Carmen, my mum and Chocolate stands in front of the gate, like welcome me back home. But from Carmen face impression, she’s like looking at stranger, until I call her then only she start calling me and stick to me. 10 days didn’t see already treat me as stranger, what about 1-2 months? Will she totally forget about me?

Is late, already 11pm here, 3am New Zealand, I should feel sleepy, but Carmen keeps playing with me, played until 12 midnight only she feel sleepy. If she doesn’t sleep I cannot sleep. So now is time to sleep.

Today will be our last day in the office. Feel very exciting because tomorrow can fly back already. Today back to office is mainly to find out what are the outstanding and have meeting with local office. Some bad news during the meeting, Johnny was asked to extend his stay to make them more comfortable. In my heart, really feel lucky their didn’t ask me to extend my stay.

Johnny has to say ‘Yes’ to them since they ask permission from our boss. Look at him, really feel pity to him. Today we still have take away lunch, but today we had burger from Burger Fuel. Giant size burger compare to burger from McDonalds. Taste good. Actually I wanted to try it long time ago, but nobody want to try it together with me, Johnny has try it before, his comment on it is not bad.

Today weather is strange to me, it rains every 2 hours. Got few times it rains small ice cube, I can see it from the window. According to the staff here, Takapuna very rare to have snow, even have snow also is very think type, not as thick as it can cover the road.

Since this is our last day in New Zealand, we plan to have a good dinner, we plan to get out of the office at 6pm to town, and after dinner have beer. Wasn’t it a good idea?

As I said many times, things always don’t go our way. We only manage to escape from the office at 10pm. So late is because there are some problems on the data, we need to fix it before it goes to clients. If it really goes to client site, then we have to responsible to fix it and explain to them what’s wrong on it. Local office will just put all the errors on our plate.

Is late, we thought of having dinner at the Korean restaurant but it was closed. So not many choices left, we went back to the Chinese restaurant last night. Today I realized that the waiter and waitress are different from past 2 times we visit. Weren’t them part time worker?

After dinner, we went to a pub nearby. We cheers to each other for the effort have been put in this project. We didn’t stay long because Johnny still have to go to office tomorrow. We said Good Bye to Johnny and wish him good lucks.

Monday is another busy day of the week. We have another challenge day in office. We tried to solve all the minor bugs they reported on that day and those major bugs we put in an enhancement list. As usual, we had light lunch.

Maybe is because whole day busy, so time passed very fast. Now already 11pm, we already miss our normal dinner time. Couldn’t find any restaurant open nearby our hotel or office accept Burger King. We don’t want fast food as our dinner, we want a proper dinner. So we have to take a cab to Auckland town, business hour for restaurant there only run until midnight. Ok, decision make, walk back to hotel, put down our notebooks and wait at the hotel lobby in 10 minutes time.

Surprisingly still have a lots of people in our hotel lobby at this time, is it some function was held in the hotel? Maybe yes. We went to the same Chinese restaurant we went last Saturday. This round we had 3 persons so we can order more choices of food.

We ordered fried fish, fried rice, beef and lamb, all meats but no beers. They didn’t sell beers in the restaurant but they did sell Chinese herbal drinks. In such a cold weather, according to Johnny, the temperature now is below 10, cold and windy.

We enjoy the dinner, the main thing is can sit down and eat relax, not like lunch time, have to eat in rush and back to work. Now is socializing time. We are worry about this project because we feel that we are many behind of schedule and still exist of many bugs. We have 10 modules and they are only fully testing on 2 modules, so in 2 weeks time we might face many bugs. We only have 2 people working on this, my boss has 18 resources but only 2 persons he can manage, the rest cannot touch. First thing go back to Malaysia must have a meeting with boss to understand his management on resources.

We talk many topics, we talk about our children, Johnny has a 3 years old daughter, we talk about interesting places around New Zealand, we talk about foods, we talk about past time experience in China and many other topics. Good moment passes very fast, is already 3 am early the morning, and is bed time.

Today plan is to have a walk in the afternoon after checking the data in office. I thought to spend 2 hours in the office to check the data, but things doesn’t go my way, I ended up whole day in the office. Really regret to step into the office. Once step into
it really cannot pull out from the office. Is like stick into it.

Another boring day, have been here for 2nd times also no chance to pay a visit to other places around here. Nothing special today, works as usual in office. Work until 7pm then go back to hotel to have room services, lazy and tired to walk out of the hotel. Rather rest in the hotel and watch some movies and enjoy the night view of the city.

After 3 months of blogging, below is the update

Total I had make $271.95 (this month earning will be $271.95-$219.50=$52.45). This is my 3rd month of earning. Didn’t really earn much this month.
