The Visitors | no.1

Chapter 5a: Customer no.1  



Sydney, a friend who I met in New Zealand. She is the first visitor to Brisbane! We actually met up at Cairns and travelled together along the east coast of Australia. It was a pleasant camper van trip.  and I love travelling with her because she will always be the organizer, the planner, the navigator, the cook and a good swimmer who will guide people who can't swim like me to snorkel the amazing great barrier reef . And I'm so thankful for her cousins' family for taking care of me when I was in Sydney. Well, her first impression for me when we were in New Zealand was she is really crazy! But as time passed I found that she is a very independent and smart person and I am always amazed by her ability to convince people! I couldn't agree more that she is a social queen, a gossip queen and a beauty queen!  Although she is so busy taking up all these responsibilities of being so many queens, she manages to be a good cook too, the master chef! hoho! I gained weights in just one month staying with her. haha! Not truly her fault, but when a sweet tooth couldn't stop her bad habit of eating junk food, chocolates and chips additional to three good meals a day. Nah, this is how fat built up in my body! But my mum definitely loves her for feeding me with good meals! 

In a nutshell, I was really pleased to stay with this superwoman in Brisbane. Thank you for accompany me during my long summer holiday! Also, thank you for inspiring me a lot, she is sort of my good friend and my good teacher. Looking forward to see you soon. :)

Happiness

Chapter 4: Strawberry Jam


It was the end of autumn and the beginning of winter. We started our journey heading to the south after three months of apple packing job. The car and sleeping bags were our beds, breads were our meals, Envy, the best apple in New Zealand was the snacks. There wasn't a GPS device to navigate us to our destination, maps took up the role. Mcdonalds was our favourite place to stop by for the free internet access. It was about three weeks long, travelling around the beautiful south island, heading to the north by taking the ferry from Picton to Wellington and finally the journey was terminated at the largest and most populous city in New Zealand, Auckland. I miss the moment of being so adventures. I miss the moment we shared good and bad together, challenged our limits and fearlessly overcame the obstacles together. 

Life could be so simple. and 
The true happiness came from sharing breads and strawberry jam with the best travel mates.

一年又一年  跟夏天才告别 转眼满地落叶 又到了蘋果的季節.
远远的 白云依旧无言 像我心里感觉 如此思念那座蘋果園後山.


time flies  summer has come to an end and it is apple season again 
words could not express how much i miss you, moana apple orchard.
