How to Plan for Travel to New Zealand

Steps :

1. Prepare for the intense heat. Cover up with a hat, long-sleeve shirt and long pants. Sunburn and sunstroke are the main health hazards, so make sure to void dehydration. Wear layered outfits as the weather frequently changes suddenly, especially at the change of seasons.

2. Tour Auckland by car, not by foot. This is a challenging place to commute. The city expanded out, not up. The expansive growth makes the city virtually impossible to explore on foot. What looks like a short walking distance on a map can turn out to be much longer.

3. Rent a Holden Commodore for some local flavor. The popular New Zealand car is built by General Motors but not sold in the States. Most agencies will include this car as a luxury item to travelers.

4. Enjoy the differences. Cars' directional signals and windshield wipers are a reverse of what most drivers would expect.

5. Remember to drive left and look right. Drive in the left lane. When turning left or right from a stop sign, the closest lane of traffic will come from the right. Look to your right first. Pedestrians should look right before they cross a road.

6. Be careful where you swim. Some South Island lakes hold tiny organisms that cause "duck itch" which is temporary, intense itching.

Tips & Warnings
Canadians and Americans can make dangerous missteps by looking left and stepping into the path of an oncoming car. Drive to your left, but look to your right.

For me, it's a big no-no

Ada beberapa hal buat aq yang gak bakal aq lakuin. Sebagian besar sih, karena takut..

WEll, those Things are...

1. Seruangan ama tikus
yes, i'm a rat-phobic. kalo ada tikus...aq pasti langsung teriak-teriak, langsung narik orang yang paling dekat aq jauh-jauh, langsung naik ke tempat yang lebih tinggi, dan terakhir..nangis.

dulu2nya, aq gak takut, cuma agak jijik aja ma tikus. tapi lama-lama, aq bisa histeris bgt kalo ada tikus lewat, en yang lebih parah, denger suara ciit-ciit gitu (aq asumsikan tu suara tikus), aq langsung ga bisa tidur.

aq tau, nih phobia udah parah bgt..
en untuk nyembuhinnya aq tau aq harus get used to ama tikus..
en mungkin aja salah satu terapinya, aq harus..Seruangan ama tikus!!!

well, No, thanks.. biar aja aq kayak gini, daripada harus seruangan ama tikus. Only the rat and me, oh no way..

(nb : untung eja gak takut tikus, Thank God)

2. Bungee Jumping
kqyaknya aq gak sekurang kerjaan itulah untuk capek-capek naik ke tempat tinggi, udah gitu loncat ke bawah (uupss, sorry para bungee-jumping freak).

en aq juga takut ama tempat tinggi. So, ga bakal deh..

(nb : naik bianglala aja aq takut..apalagi bungee jumping..) 

3. Jadi Beatrix Kiddo
Walopun aq suka bgt film Kill Bill Vol.1, tapi Beatrix Kiddo terlalu kejam.. banyak bgt yang dibunuhnya.. terutama anak buah O-rin-ishii itu. Kalo aq, ih..udah takut liat segitu byk lawan, hehehe..

(nb : aq suka baju en sepatu kuning Onitsuka-nya,  u rock!)

4. Scuba Diving 
Jelas aja, aq takut tenggelam. Aneh ya? Ni kan diving, jadi emang harus tenggelam kan? Yah, gimana lagi?

(nb : kalo mau liat ikan-ikan aja, kan ada Underwater World, lebih cantik tempatnya, ada eskalator jalan lagi, gak perlu capek-capek, hehehe..)

5. Nonton film Horor
Duh, suka kebayang-kebayang kalo malem, makan tak enak tidur tak nyenyak deh, habis nonton film horor. Eja en ririn (adek aq), sukaaaaa bgt ngajakin aq nonton film horor, en aq pastiiiii langsung buang muka, pura-pura gak denger mereka bilang apa. SEbel kan, ngapain juga ditanyain lagi, aq pasti bilang gak lah..

(nb : film horor paling horor yang pernah aq tonton tuh Jelangkung, yang ada Winky-nya)


Waduh.. sebenarnya amasih banyak si  yang aq takutin, kayak : dikejar orang gila, diseruduk angsa, di rumah sendirian, en makan makanan aneh.

Tapi, those things are top five of them.

Tau gak, orang pemberani itu = orang yang berani nunjukin ketakutannya.
Ni aq udah berani nunjukin ketakutan aq. Berarti aq pemberani donkk..



Haha!

NZ...when will i see you??

Udah search-search ni aktivitas apa aja yang bisa dilakuin pas ke New Zealand..
 
So, Check This out!

The Best Active Vacations

Scuba Diving in the Poor Knights: Jacques Yves Cousteau rated this among the best diving spots in the world. This unique marine reserve has the best of tropical currents sweeping in to make it warm and inviting for a wide variety of tropical species that aren't found anywhere else in New Zealand's waters.

comment : mmm.. kayaknya gak deh.. pertama, aq ga bisa diving. kedua, aq takut tenggelam. ketiga, mending kalo mau liat ikan-ikan di Underwater World aja lah..

Blackwater Rafting in the Waitomo Glowworm Caves: Daredevils can now go underground to leap off waterfalls; slink through dark, damp, underground waterways; abseil off "Lost World" rock faces; and do other things in the dark.

comment : rafting ? gak lah.. takut jatuh, trus nabrak batu karang, hiiiy.. ngeliat orang rafting di Tv aja takut.. apalagi ngelakuin sendiri.. not now lah..




Trout Fishing in Taupo: They say the fish in Lake Taupo are so big that when you catch one, the lake level drops. The dozens of other rivers (especially world-renowned Tongariro) and streams in the region also have rich pickings for the fisherman.

Comment : seru juga kali mancing.. tapi, kan bosen.. udah gitu ikan segede  gitu kan serem..

Sea Kayaking in Abel Tasman National Park: It takes a lot to beat this balmy little paddle into the best-preserved and most beautiful coastline of New Zealand. Keep company with nosy seal pups and dolphins; call into pristine, deserted beaches; and explore rocky headlands.

comment : kayaknya seru ni.. pasti pemandangannya bagus.. mmm..get one!

Walking the Glaciers: Dig out those snow boots and walking poles, add a dash of nerve and daring, and take the walk of a lifetime down Fox or Franz Josef Glaciers in the deep south. And don't forget your camera so you can bring home those unforgettable views into the snow caves.

comment : wuaaaa...snow! ok,i won't forget the camera!


Getting Wild in Queenstown: This is New Zealand's adrenaline capital, where you get more than one chance to show how crazy you really are. There are more daredevil stunts per square inch here than anywhere else in the country. An international skiing mecca in winter, it readily transforms itself into summer madness as well.

comment : r u ready to be wild? mmm..i don't think so.

Walking the Fiordland Tracks: If you fancy yourself as a multi-day tramper, there's plenty to keep you out of mischief in Fiordland. This is where you get some of the best walks in the world -- the Milford, the Hollyford, the Kepler, and the Routeburn tracks.

 
comment : walking? bener-bener walk? duh, mesti workout dulu ni, sebelum kesana.. hehehe! tapi demi the scenery along the road, it's worth it deh kayaknya..

                        well, ni kan cuma summary dari Frommer's: New Zealand.                         Aq si belum pernah kesana. But, one day, at least one in a                         life time, i will go there.

                     Tapi , kalo ada yang mau sponsorin si..yah.. Hahaha..

Bandung.. finally i come

Ni waktu di ciater.

panas bgt airnya. waktu foto ini dipaksa-paksain biar tahan..

for myself : jangan banyak mengeluh!

aduh, ok gini sih?
loh, kok jadinya gitu? kan aku udah bilang pakai yang ini..
waaah, kata-kata di atas familiar bgt ma aku loh. Kayaknya tiada hari tanpa mengeluh deh.. what's wrong ya?
kata eja.. (aq gak tau ni valid ato gak), aku ni stres. karena apa? pasti pada ngira aq stress karena banyak yang mesti dilakuin.
Tapi bukaaaan, aq stres karena gak ada lagi yang mesti dikerjain! gak ada praktikum, ga ada tugas berat, makalah farmako gak ada, makalah yang lain pun gak gitu susah, en yang paling tragis, gakada kepanitiaan! duh,apa aq udah addict bgt ma sibuk ya??

maybe yes, maybe no. tapi kalo gak sibuk tuh, ranya capek, bosen, jadinya ngeluh2 terus..

duh, pokoknya ntar pas ko as aq gak boleh ngeluh2 lagi..

love urself today, ika..

Artikel :DID I MARRY THE RIGHT PERSON?

Artikel ini aku dapat dari eja, waktu nyusun Butah gitu, tapi ternyata gak jadi dimasukin.
Baca deh.. sapa tau aja, jadi punya pandangan lain about Marriage..

Those who are still single may learn something from here. Those who are already married may take it as a guideline to improve your marriage.

DID I MARRY THE RIGHT PERSON?

During one of our seminars, a woman asked a common question.
She said, "How do I know if I married the right person?"
I noticed that there was a large man sitting next to her so I said, "It depends. Is that your husband?" In all seriousness, she answered "How do you know?"

Let me answer this question because the chances are good that it's weighing on your mind. Here's the answer. EVERY relationship has a cycle.

In the beginning, you fell in love with your spouse. You anticipated their call, wanted their touch, and liked their idiosyncrasies. Falling in love with your spouse wasn't hard. In fact, it was a completely natural and spontaneous experience. You didn't have to DO anything. That's why it's called "falling" in love.

Because it's happening TO YOU.

People in love sometimes say, "I was swept of my feet." Think about the imagery of that expression. It implies that you were just standing there; doing nothing, and then something came along and happened TO YOU.

Falling in love is easy. It's a passive and spontaneous experience. But after a few years of marriage, the euphoria of love fades. It's the natural cycle of EVERY relationship. Slowly but surely, phone calls become a bother (if they come at all), touch is not always welcome (when it happens), and your spouse's idiosyncrasies, instead of being cute, drive you nuts. The symptoms of this stage vary with every relationship, but if you think about your marriage, you will notice a dramatic difference between the initial stage when you were in love and a much duller or even angry subsequent stage.

At this point, you and/or your spouse might start asking, "Did I marry the right person?"
And as you and your spouse reflect on the euphoria of the love you once had, you may begin to desire that experience with someone else. This is when marriages breakdown. People blame their spouse for their unhappiness and look outside their marriage for fulfilment.

Extramarital fulfilment comes in all shapes and sizes. Infidelity is the most obvious. But sometimes people turn to work, a hobby, a friendship, excessive TV, or abusive substances.
But the answer to this dilemma does NOT lie outside your marriage. It lies within it. I'm not saying that you couldn't fall in love with someone else. You could.
And TEMPORARILY you'd feel better. But you'd be in the same situation a few years later. Because (listen carefully to this):

THE KEY TO SUCCEEDING IN MARRIAGE IS NOT FINDING THE RIGHT PERSON; IT'S LEARNING TO LOVE THE PERSON YOU FOUND.

SUSTAINING love is not a passive or spontaneous experience. It'll NEVER just happen to you. You can't "find" LASTING love. You have to "make" it day in and day out. That's why we have the expression "the labour of love."

Forgive your spouse who had make a huge mistake before, because loving your spouse is easy but to forgive them is hard, that is why you need to have the courage to forgive because it takes time, effort, and energy. And most importantly, it takes WISDOM. You have to know WHAT TO DO to make your marriage work.

Make no mistake about it. Love is NOT a mystery. There are specific things you can do (with or without your spouse) to succeed with your marriage.

Just as there are physical laws of the universe (such as gravity), there are also laws for relationships. Just as the right diet and exercise program makes you physically stronger, certain habits in your relationship WILL make your marriage stronger. It's a direct cause and effect. If you know and apply the laws, the results are predictable.. . you can "make" love.
