So when the 26-year-old was diagnosed with stage four bowel cancer, it came as a bit of a shock, she said. Hollier's doctor initially believed she was suffering from a kidney infection, but after passing blood in her stools, she returned for further tests, where she was given the diagnosis of stage four bowel cancer "teetering" on curable.
Despite the diagnoses, Hollier said she's feeling positive. She urges others – especially young people – to be more vigilant with their heath and more accepting of the need to visit a doctor.
"Those little niggles you have, you can't just ignore them. I could have possibly dropped dead and not known why. I could have ended up at the point where they can't help me."

The latest incident I have witnessed was at the mini construction site at the corner of Lincoln, Swanson and Great North road intersection - where Henderson Lock Services used to be.
A truck, fully loaded with rubble, came out, turned right onto Great North Road and then straight down Lincoln Road. The top layer which was well over the legal limit, was flying off in all directions and all of us had to hold back as to not be showered with any stones etc ...
The driver was totally oblivious and she kept on driving even though people were trying to flag her down.
I couldn't see the company name on the truck as a van in front of me blocked my view, but it was raining sand, stones and pebbles.
I honestly thought that all loads had to be covered in case of dangerous items i.e. stones, rubbish, wood etc ... flying off and causing accidents (or worse, a death) on the roads behind them.
Apparently one of the NZTA rules for loose bulks loads is, "Loose bulk loads being transported in a vehicle without a tarpaulin fitted should at no time reach higher than 100mm below any side of the vehicle"
NZTA goes onto to say, "Loose bulk loads should be tarped, netted or sheeted as appropriate whenever there is a risk of load shedding due to wind action or movement"
This also applies to the average Joe Blow on his/her way to the rubbish tips with their dangerously overloaded and unsecured trailers.
The amount of garden rubbish we come across on the roads or even MDF or rubbish bags (the list goes on) beggars belief.
Cover your truck & trailer and load folks.
Keep us safe and alive.

The passenger, who did not want to be named, told the Herald he arrived in Auckland from Beijing on Monday evening. "There was no one checking passengers' temperatures at Customs, through immigration, anywhere," he said. "I just walked out." Even though he and other passengers mentioned they had recently travelled to Wuhan, they left Auckland Airport only clutching a health pamphlet, he said. It was poles apart from the health screening he had seen in China, where travellers' temperatures were taken at multiple points at Hong Kong airport. Despite feeling fine and seeing no one on his flight seeming to be ill, he said the lack of screening made him nervous. "Every single person on the flight was wearing a mask, protecting themselves and trying not to spread anything. "I'm perfectly fine, but it was very unusual." The passenger's concerns follow comments online by shocked passengers who recently entered New Zealand unscreened. One passenger, who returned to Auckland via Hong Kong with their family only two days ago, took to Reddit to write about their arrival from a self-imposed isolation. They wrote that travellers faced strict precautions at Hong Kong airport and filled out questionnaires on their recent travel. "At the entrance of Hong Kong International Airport, workers were checking documents and only allowing those who had flights within 24 hours in. "Everyone was wearing masks. Before passing through security, temperatures were taken again." But when they arrived in Auckland, there was no indication of the global coronavirus outbreak but a few posters and a few people wearing face masks. "The customs worker who served us wasn't even wearing a mask and there was no temperature check," the passenger wrote. "The E-gates were still open too. It would've been very easy for someone to slip through." Despite extensive media coverage of the coronavirus outbreak, the passenger wrote that it felt as if the outbreak "didn't exist" in New Zealand. "It was a stark contrast from my experience in China and Hong Kong. I'm wondering whether it was because my flight was from Hong Kong rather than mainland China and because it was early in the morning and they had not yet implemented the new procedures they said they would in the news." A Ministry of Health spokesman said that from last Monday, public health staff have been at Christchurch and Auckland International Airports as flights from mainland China arrive. "Staff have been taking the temperatures of anyone who is feeling unwell and anyone with a temperature higher than 38 degrees Celsius will be referred for appropriate assessment," he said. "Yesterday public health staff met approximately 2500 passengers on six scheduled flights and 7 passengers and crew on one private flight arriving at Auckland Airport and 230 passengers and crew on one flight arriving at Christchurch International Airport from mainland China." None of those travellers met the suspected case definition for Novel coronavirus.

Auckland Lantern Festival began in 2000 as a one-night event, featuring second-hand lanterns from Singapore. Now, it is the country's largest cultural festival, attracting between 165,000 and 200,000 people across four days.
Witness the spectacular illumination of hundreds of handmade lanterns that depict a range of elements from Chinese culture; treat yourself at a variety of stalls selling delicious Asian food and craft; watch stunning performances of traditional or contemporary dance and music from international and local talent, and enjoy demonstrations from masters of martial arts.
Originally inspired by the traditional lantern festivals of China, Auckland Lantern Festival has now become a uniquely Auckland-Chinese event, enjoyed by locals and visitors alike.
