Three weeks flew away. From the time this vacation began, actually I was going to read books and do some extra study I couldn’t do during this term but I totally was like a stuffed pig and do nothing, has however thought about the way I am going to go. I sort of wasn’t pleasant because of rejection from some of boat builders I applied for a job, most of which hasn’t even replied me yet. It was my mistake that I thought my bachelor degree in naval architecture and two years period of my career in HHI could help me get a job as a boat builder. No way. The first thing I have to do is apparently improving my English at least I hope to find a job here in New Zealand. Except that thing, there is probably no difference between other guys and me in my class (my classmates are really nice and cool indeed though) or even in real world. Anyhow, I set my goal. During the holiday, there were rugby games and my wife and I watched all matches of the All blacks, quarter finals and semi-final as well. The final match between All blacks and France was really exciting that we couldn’t take our eyes off on the TV and move at all. All blacks has won the match. We bought a small reasonably good printer which is scanning, photocopy available with wireless signal away from home like if I ordered printing at Unitec by I-phone or something, it will take my signal and print automatically at home(cool~). Basically, we separated our duty of housekeeping that I do dishes and vacuuming, my wife cook food and mostly do laundry and the rest of them are randomly flexible choice of us. I suggested my wife to change this during the holidays so she did everything during her holiday and I did everything during my one. I realized I am not quite a good chef. My swim academy had a holiday class for 10 days but I got my time off because my ear canal inflammation that I used to have in Korea, it is getting better though. Looking around a couple of websites about yachts, boat builders and yacht communities, I kind of found my goal I mentioned above.
We volunteered for marathon held by Adidas today. Getting up 5 A.M which is unusual, we walked to Victoria Park and we could find Ashley who was our volunteering manager (?) from probably the heart corporation. Our duty was make sure the runners going through the finish line keep moving and not let them sit on the road because if someone starts to sit on the road it would be messy and not a good idea to stand up again which is really hard for them having run through 20 km or the full course. One thing I remember was I told someone tend to sitting on the road to keep moving but actually he was a blind runner with a guy helping him. I felt so sorry about that (hmm…. but did I have to? He was a real runner same as other guys or even better than others.) Anyway, It was really good experience for us, because I’m having harbor crossing two weeks later and I sort of pre-experienced about the festival like this. There were roughly 700 volunteers but I couldn’t see most of them and the idea of volunteering is helping the competitors concentrate on their way to go and their game. Actually, this game today was a massive one that I realized after the game finished. On the way to countdown, we came across Andrew and his wife (I forgot her name…). His wife was a runner today and he encouraged her when she left 7 km of her race, which is great.
