Hello! It’s MONDAY again (for the 34th time) ~ I’m currently sitting on the bed in an accommodation at Fox Glacier typing this blog post and pray that the internet connection doesn’t go haywire. I was practically watching my netflix drama pixelated but oh wells, can’t complain as at least it loads. The connection I

Working in Talleys – Opening Mussels
This is my 6th job (in 8 months) and possibly my last job, as I think it would be very difficult to find a job with only one month left to work. So after completing the supposedly dream job in a cherry packhouse, I escaped the Central Otago area and found myself in Motueka, the

Week 33 – Possibly ending my career in New Zealand
Gosh. Time flies ain’t it? I just ended work at possibly my last job here in New Zealand. It’s 12:55am right now on Sunday and I ended work at 11pm. Kind of happy that I no longer have to do the least desirable job of opening mussels but kind of sad that it is possibly

Week 30 – Yet another ‘vacation’ for me

Oh wells, I chose the word vacation instead of holiday as my past week had been somewhat like ‘off days’ for me, like super extended weekends while I take a break from work; and traveling. (Extremely boring blog post ahead because nothing much really happened

Working in Cherry Orchard: Packhouse – Working Holiday New Zealand
Is this your dream job or perhaps something on your bucket’s list for your New Zealand Working Holiday experience? I have no idea why it is on everyone’s list, but now that I have completed 4 weeks in a cherry packhouse, it is a pretty normal experience for me; definitely not something which I need

Week 29 – Longest hours ever and Relocation again
Hi there, yes, I’m late. I woke up today on Tuesday morning and realised that yesterday was Monday night and I’ve forgotten all about my blog. I didn’t have time over the weekend to pre-write anything at all and right now, I have all the time in the world because I’m jobless in Christchurch. I’ve
