Surfing, cup noodles and nap! ~ Great combination!!! 😆👍 Fun n great workout too!💪 Your White Hippo also works very hard!!! 😜🤣 Love the drone video on the nice beach~ 👍👏😊 Thanks for the adventure ~ 😊
Nice van you got over there. So nice to be able to do roadtrip on the wheel. Beaitiful scenic NZ beach, and open sky along the road otw to beach..btw what is the title of the background song you play..its very nice..
Thank you ! it really is beautiful here especially in summer. And I'm sorry I forgot what music this was. Cannot find the actual file for it.. so sorry!
so glad that Auckland is finally out of lockdwn after more than 100 days. But still in red light. Unlike other parts of NZ orange light , more freedom and hv larger group of gathering . Enjoy!
Wow nice beach! And u have a great vehicle to be able to cook & nap after play! Really nice 😆👍 Orchard Road lightings are up, beautiful & bustling with shoppers. Restaurants are doing good businesses with queues. Just fyi 😊
Ahhhh I miss that orchard vibe.. miss the loud birds singing at twilight, ice cream uncles (although I never had one for ages), the crowd.. thank you for reminding me 😊
Another enjoyable video, thanks Steve. Your interaction with locals always adds to the content. The stand of trees you admired while eating, looks like a pine plantation. Pines are not native to NZ, and are planted as a renewable resource. The area that had just been felled will be replanted with more pines. Regarding the fresh-milk-vending place, I wonder if the customer is supposed to bring their own bottle?
Ohh yeah that's what I thought too with the trees being cut off. I love pine trees and didn't know they were not native to NZ! I thought about that with the milk farm too but it did also have a sign saying they were closed.. 😅
Hey! Glad you asked. The school opened this week :) there's been a huge delay because of the lockdown here. Cost wise it comes to about nz$120k for getting private, commercial, multi engine, instrument flying and airline transport pilot.. basically I'm going to be have a huge debt till I die 😅
NZ has so many natural stuff to do. It is a good choice that u leave Singapore for NZ as can see that u r really enjoying yourself. The raw milk reminds me of my trip to NZ when we drove and spotted fresh salmon for sale. And the salmon is really very fresh n yummy! Hope to see more of your videos. Take care.
Fresh milk and honey. Definitely heavenly! I had fresh cow's and goat's milk when very young. Lovely!!! You definitely need 4-wheel drive when going over sand. If it's quite loose sand (worse than what you encountered), than you need fatter tires as well. All part of driving experience. 😉 After any water acitivities (except just playing in the water) will always make one feel tired and hungry. 😊 Since you're learning flying now and surfing. What next? 😁
Oh what's fresh goats milk like? There was a goat farm in Singapore that I visited and tbh I thought the smell was really too strong for me 😅 surfing was just one off thing haha.. I think I should focus on studying and working for now..😅
@@ReddotDiaries The taste is definitely more dense than that of cow's. What my mom used to do was to boiled it once before letting me drink, this will lessen the intensity. Overall, the taste is basically the same as that of cow's.
What a life Steve. Man my suv got stuck in sand before and it was scary . Next time u should bring a portable shower if u plan to surf in the future . I used to surf back in the days .
Nice haircut Steve! having a haircut can give a sense of “renewed self” to some and feeling a lot lighter. Really beautiful skyline and and is good to see you having some fun. Best wishes.
Nice beach view another kind of beach view from Singapore but Singapore beaches water are too dirty honestly.. I know in Slovenia, Ljubljana there’s a fresh milk vending machine like the one you showed on your video. The vending machine is a tourist spot haha. You should do a video on the farms in NZ.
Wow, nice beach and you are brave! Must have been bloated for the whole day. Haha 😅i mean i would rather kayaking than surfing as i will drink up a lot of sea water. Haha, not as brave as you. 😬😜
Surfing, cup noodles and nap! ~ Great combination!!! 😆👍 Fun n great workout too!💪 Your White Hippo also works very hard!!! 😜🤣 Love the drone video on the nice beach~ 👍👏😊 Thanks for the adventure ~ 😊
Beautiful sceneries! Thank you Steve for sharing your priceless adventures
Looks really fun. Love the beach. Its so beautiful!!
Awesome, i did not know there was such an activity there. Will definitely try it when i go back to NZ. Thanks for the intro!
Hey Justin, yes I was surprised as well. I thought Northland was just another small town but there's lot happening here too. Take care!
Thumb up...look forward to ur next video.
Thank you Danny!

Do you think its possible to solo in new zealand without driving?
There is inter city tour bus for backpackers,but it will be a very time consuming and inconvenient way of travel
Hey just like what the other person said, I wouldn't recommend doing that. It's best if you rent a car
Hahaha opps i cant drive. I prolly cant head solo to new zealand anytime soon!
So relaxing watching yr vlog ;) I see work life balance n u re always trying out new stuff!!
Thank you Josephine!
Awesome video, I hope you make a lot more videos like this because they're very therapeutic for people like me that's stuck in the US currently lol.
Haha ok will do sir!!
Wait did the Nike shirt says, can! That's singlish haha
Hahahah yeah exactly. This was my souvenir from sg
@@ReddotDiaries guess it actually meant Canada?! Haha
Wow! awesome Steve👍 thanks for sharing👏😴 take care ya
Haha thank you thank you. You too have a good weekend and take care. Thanks for always leaving a comment and emoji 😹👍💤
Indeed beautiful view and friendly people!!!
Hey! Yeah the view was really nice and most people here are friendly and helpful. Hope you're enjoying the weekend in sg!
Awesome and breathtaking picturesque! Thanks buddy!
Hey Murphy! I was just wondering is ew your last name or issit your initials? I was curious last time and just remembered again 😅
@@ReddotDiaries EW my initials - Eddie Wong. Thanks for always going that extra mile to present great quality vids with authenticity!
The beach is beautiful 👍.
It really was! Thank you!
Great to have fun and exercise :) Perhaps next time you can show us around the town you live
Thank you! Yes can show you but there isn't much around here 😅
Awesome and breathtaking beach!
It really was a nice day out!
Looks so fun Steve learning to surf 🏄. Your hiyah is so endearing. The beach is beautiful!
Hi Bi Qing! Yes it was really fun! Hope you get to try doing it one day also 😊
Thanks for bringing us to view this clear majestic beautiful beach. Until your next video please take care
Thank you for watching Jessie!
so glad that Auckland is finally out of lockdwn after more than 100 days. But still in red light. Unlike other parts of NZ orange light , more freedom and hv larger group of gathering . Enjoy!
Thank you Yen! I'm really happy too but realised my life is pretty much the same lockdown or not 😂
I really don't know why...your video really make my day...so relax and laughable..What a relief after a long day!!Thanks Bro!!😍😘
Thank you!! Glad you enjoyed watching it 😊
Amazing new adventure Steve! And your camper adds it all! Cool! 👍
Thank you Dannie!
Do you keep a tool kit in the van? It's good to include a metal pipe & a wooden plank.
I really should bro.. realised that it's a must in nz. Imagine break down in middle of nowhere.
Wow! The water looks clean and clear. Have fun!
Thank you Vyvian! Hope you have a good weekend;)
@@ReddotDiaries My pleasure and you too, have a good week end and stay safe!

Almost killed a local too... when surfing
@@kirklee8898 True, but the instructor should know to keep clear of first-timers!
Ohh yeah that's what I thought too with the trees being cut off. I love pine trees and didn't know they were not native to NZ! I thought about that with the milk farm too but it did also have a sign saying they were closed.. 😅
NZ is truly beautiful Steve. Also lots of fun.
I have to admit it really is! Hope many people from sg can visit soon 😊
Fresh milk machine sounds like there is a cow hiding behind it.🤣
Hahaha I was thinking that too bro 😂
Did you take the video with a drone? Very nice!
No, attach camera to Kiwi bird and it will fly up and take videos for you. True wan.
Hey lala I did! Thank you! I thought it was really cool too so wanted to put that in the video 😊
HaHaHaHa.
Grumpy Uncle checklist - Checked.
"Oh My God. I knew this would happen. Oh My God. I knew it. Oh My God"
😂😂😂😂
Hahahahahaha yes bro indeed 😂 hope you're having a good weekend!
When update about your flying? Would be nice to see a cost breakdown on that 😀
Hey! Glad you asked. The school opened this week :) there's been a huge delay because of the lockdown here. Cost wise it comes to about nz$120k for getting private, commercial, multi engine, instrument flying and airline transport pilot.. basically I'm going to be have a huge debt till I die 😅
@@ReddotDiaries cool. So what have you been doing every day ?
NZ has so many natural stuff to do. It is a good choice that u leave Singapore for NZ as can see that u r really enjoying yourself.

Yes! I'm realising that you can buy many interesting things on a road trip here 😅 thank you so much and hope you can visit here again soon!
👍🏼
Thank you!

nice tattoos!
Thank you hehe
Can see it’s very fun! Really miss NZ and traveling. Make more videos for us to see ya.
Hello! Thank you so much and will most certainly do!
What a life Steve. Man my suv got stuck in sand before and it was scary . Next time u should bring a portable shower if u plan to surf in the future . I used to surf back in the days .
Hey Steven how are ya. Yeah I was thinking about portable shower then realised I can use the water pump on the van 😆
Nice one Steve.. Good to know you still have time to do the things you love.. Keep safe and study well 🤩
Thank you! Thanks to the long lockdown and school being closed I've had some free time lately.. 😅
Nice haircut Steve! having a haircut can give a sense of “renewed self” to some and feeling a lot lighter.
Really beautiful skyline and and is good to see you having some fun. Best wishes.
Thank you Sam!! Happy holidays

Hey Jennie! Thank you! Haha I actually wanted to do a farm stay one day!
Mmm... fresh milk. Do they still deliver milk in glass bottles?
Hey bro I think so too but there were no more bottles..
Fun at the surf site but you almost hit the lady instructor in your 1st attempt 🤭
Yeah lucky it wasn't another student 😅 she was quite cool about it hehe
Wow, nice beach and you are brave! Must have been bloated for the whole day. Haha 😅i mean i would rather kayaking than surfing as i will drink up a lot of sea water. Haha, not as brave as you. 😬😜
Haha its honestly not that hard..! Even the small children were doing it quickly. You can try next time la
u surf da beach i surf da internet
I was waiting for this before going to bed. It was worth the wait 😂😂😂😂
So, comparing NZ and Sg, SG has better quality of life and scenery right? More conducive for enjoying life? Or is that Politically Incorrect to say?
I dunno I think both got pros and cons and depends what you like.. both are two very different countries for sure though
@@ReddotDiaries in terms of nature, singapore is hands down the better one🤣
Good try at surfing. It looks tough and needs a lot of balancing skills.
Yeah it wasn't easy but definitely do-able for most people. The little girl was standing faster than me
Brave, adventurous. Could do cooking, boiling inside van
Just cook noodle la very easy one
