Two days later, 25th Jan 2018, 5 am will be another year of opening for Malaysian Working Holiday Scheme to work and travel in NZ.
It is just like yesterday, I applied for the working holiday, but it has been 2 years ago, and I have also returned home for good.
Recently, some friends come and ask me about it. Some has been long planned(we discussed it when we were still in university) and finally it is the good timing for her to apply, some has come and approach for advises and tips.
Initially, after come back from working holiday, I was quite discouraging people to go for this working holiday, especially If you are in doubt if you do want to go and worry about getting a job when you return.
But soon after talking to one of the good friend, she make me be more neutral.
I just hope those who go for this working holiday is really looking for a good change and change from within, it can be a challenge for a lifetime, or just a break from the hectic life.
I was considered very very very lucky, to get it the first time I apply it and without much preparation to go.
I was also very very very lucky that I managed to get job along the period with little gap in between. Not mentioning that the 9 months travel period is FOC and the experiences and the friendship I gained is worth for this betting.
While I was there get bored with the rolling kiwi berries, I did discuss the luck that we get the visa with a friend there. We did, eventually get into the conclusion that, some times the luck come is not only faith that we have, but is the persistence that we fight to become who we are today.
Last week, I also started back to read, this book is also kind of linked with the same concept, it is some how your belief and you really go for it, that made your dreams come true (刘墉 «不疯魔，不成活»).
You have to be crazy enough in order to live your life.
While going for another working holiday will not be my next destination, I do look forward for more life changing experiences.
Good luck to all those who are going to apply the working holiday this round, be calm and if You get it, congratulations, go for it and make it a good lifetime memories. If not get it, it might means there is more duty for You to stay and do what you need.
I do trust life changing situations is everywhere, it is not starting with a new country but starting from a little mindset.

Can you withstand such a long period without nasi lemak and sambal???
If not, learn to cook yourself first before you go.
The nasi lemak is not cook by myself, I only eat it. She is The one who advice me to be neutral, while she thinks that she will not brave enough to travel alone, I am always thankful for her kindness to cook me good food and bring me around when I visit her.
Not everything can be ready in time though, so be flexible, help others and let others give you a hand too.
This is the lesson I learnt the most during my working holiday period and everyday.
Good luck people!
