Towards the End of The Journey

8 September 2011

It was a special day. It was a day when I have sold my only asset in New Zealand. It was also a day when I closed my tax account and I could no longer work in New Zealand unless I am paid in cash.

There is still about one month before I go back to Malaysia. However, it seems like there could hardly be any more interesting chapter in my journey and hence I have decided to sell my car and close the tax account. For the rest of my time in New Zealand, I would be working for accommodation in Onuku Farm Hostel until the last two days in New Zealand. I am glad that I can spend my last month in my most memorable and favorite place.

While I did the car ownership transfer with a young boy from Germany today, it brought me back all the memories I had during my first week in New Zealand. I showed him how to do the ownership transfer like how the previous owner had shown me. The previous owner was a German too. Life is like a cycle.

I saw his uncertainties on his face, not knowing where to go and what to do next. Nevertheless, I could still see his passion and excitement burning in his body. This was exactly what I have gone through.

And now, I have almost reached the end point, which was also the starting point. I am now like back to what I was at the beginning of the journey. I came here with 1500 dollars, and I will be bringing back a similar amount back to Malaysia. I didn't really earn much. But at least I have not spent a cent from my initial fund throughout my 9-month journey and I have earned a full bag of great experience.

I couldn't wait to share my experience with my beloved friends and family in Malaysia. I couldn't wait to see the new faces added to my family, Nigel and Haygen. Just another 40 more days to go.....
