Hadn't update my blog for a very long time. Didn't have any interesting things past few weeks so I'm too lazy to write. Anyway, this is the last day I'm living in my current house. Been living here for more than two months but the landlady is going to close down this house so we had no choice. Four of us are moving to another house owned by the same landlady.
I've started my pruning job last Wednesday, it's really a tough job even though time flies when you are pruning. It's tougher when the weather is cold, and the arms are aching like hell when you goes fast. But I'm just working for 2 to 3 weeks so I'll just hang on, not gonna look for another job for the moment. The weather is real bad these few days, raining almost everyday so my working hours are so less I don't even know how much I can make per week, probably just half of the money I made when I worked in the packhouse. But as I said, whatever.
We went to Marahau to try a burger at The Fat Tui but unfortunately the store is closed at winter and only reopen at September. No luck. We turned back to Kaiteriteri and tried Gone Burger, love it, price is cheap but burgers are great, big and delicious. But we went home after that, it's been raining whole day and we had something to pack in order to move to the other house. For 3 continuous Sundays it had been raining so we couldn't go hiking at all. I wonder when I can actually hike up Mt. Arthur.

Part Ways
12-06-2016
First long road trip with my car to Nelson city. I had been to this city around three months ago but I never actually went around the city because I arrived at night at departed from Nelson to Motueka at 7.30am that time. But I never went back to the church where I spent the night sleeping in the tent with my French friend, that's probably one of my two regrets, the another one is that I never went to the Centre of New Zealand in Nelson. I guess I'll find a day and go back there for these locations. I really want to see the church so much, I mean under the daylight haha.
The main reason we came to Nelson was to have a lunch with two of our friends from China, who are now working in the Sealord factory. They were a dear friends to me, we knew each other in Timaru when we were picking apples. We never talked much until we moved into the same house here in Motueka. We became very close friends then. They left this packhouse earlier as they had to go to Nelson for the Sealord job. We never really had a proper farewell meal. That's why we were there, for the farewell lunch.
One thing that I never got used to is parting ways with close friends. And I think I will never do. I guess I will only learn how to accept it, and move on. The only thing is the time taken to move on. Just like when I graduated from high school and Pre-U, I took quite some time. I guess this is my personality, that's why I think I should not try to change it, for me, it's not a bad thing after all. Parting ways with close friends sucks, but it's part of our life. And it definitely takes a lot of time learning to accept that. I'm still learning. But still, I believe there are eternal friendship.
After the job ends, I will have to part way with more people. My housemates, my colleagues. This is the reality I couldn't change. But only with that I will get to meet new people and make new friends. I believe there are still more to come. I'm looking forward to it. Who will I meet and what will I do when I go on the round-island road trip in July?

Road-Trip With My Own Car
Finally I got myself a car after more than 3 months. It's a Honda Accord station wagon, bought it for $900 from my friend as she is leaving the country. Everything about this car is ok except the extremely high mileage. Still, I think it's worth a buy.
We didn't go far today. Went to see the sunrise in Port Motueka at 7am, took a couple of photos before heading home for breakfast. We went to the Kaiteriteri Beach and Little Kaiteriteri in the afternoon. That's all for today, at least we didn't stayed at home haha.
