A week without lab was awesome!! hahah.. wat can i say.. truly nice.. After having doubt which trip to choose, finally I decided to join study trip to South.. At first, i'm not interested at all. Maybe because I've been there already.. but since I already asked my supervisor to get out from Dunedin,,, i joined the trip. ( Thank u to my friend BOssy .. he paid for me 1st for the trip,,but a bit dissapointed,, he doesn't know my full name,.. Gosh!!!)

Trip review:

April 20th 2008

-Southern Roses Adendale-
My first thought at this place was my dad. he loves roses soo much. Kind of miss our small house and compound heaps. Coming to Wilma's rose garden was awesome. It may look small but the job are huge. Everything is being done manually.It is the ONLY nursery in NZ that grows roses on seedlings in the European way ...WOw... I was fully blown away.. I wish I have chance to do this when i go back to Malaysia.. who knows.... :P

- Bluff-
The end of Southern Tip.. huhu..it was my second time.. but it was a different experience with new people. And of course different weather.. Last summer was hot but this time it was raining and cold!! Nothing much to do here, but this place is great. to be honest, to be at Bluff is one of great experience in my life.

-Dairy farm-
hahahah.. this place is too good to forget!! I'm not a big fan of milk. but on that day, I got a chance to drink FRESH MILK... just 2 words.. CREAMY AND MILKY!!! over the top .. gosh... IT seems like i was in Fear Factor challenge.. nice but not my favourite after all.. HIHIHIH..

-Hostel-
Our hostel at Adendale was great. Nice room and, large kitchen and hall. We couldn't ask for more. Dinner from Kak Lily and En Sabry as usual was awesome (i'm a big fan of curry,, :p). I guess that nite, many ppl were too high... poker team, pictionary gurls, jamming group and chit chat ppl... hihiihih.. nice and relaxing nite i guess..

21st April 2008

-Fonterra-
'Fonterra is one of the top six dairy companies in the world by turnover (June 2006 Rabobank ratings), the world's leading exporter of dairy products and responsible for more than a third of international dairy trade.' How great is that?

I think everyone was hoping to have a chance to go to factory tour.. but Fonterra doesnt open any tour to public anymore. So that morning , we went to Adendale town hall for some presentation from a staff from Fonterra. At the end, we've being served to some cheddar cheese.. ( 3yrs old cheese) believe it.... Errrrrrr.... again not my favourite.. to cheesy and very very salty.. But wat an experience rite?

- Mataura Alliance Group Limited ( Slaughtering factory)-
i'm sorry because i don't have any pic here. it was part of rules and regulations to be here. no camera and no pic. This place was a HUGE NITEMARE for me. i was scared to death before we went in. I keep imagining BLOOD. since i was kid i have kind of phobia to blood. Some ppl will think im taking it too serious.. but only God knows how much i force myself to be brave facing blood. I knew if my knee start shaking.. I can't do anything. dat's it.. but ppl said, it worth to try.. I dare to say.. at least i tried.. although i went off at the very beginning of the tour.

I was vomitting the whole day. and i guess the huge impact is i've been vegetarian for a week until now.. NO MEAT! and NO RED GRAVY!! anyway, Thanx to friends who being with me..

That's all i guess for the study tour.. 2days and 1nite only.. but the impact was huge.. :P i love this tour soo muchhhh.. it was meaningful, not only go for sightseeing, making new friends ( Germany and Bruneians) and of course it was one of a kind :)
