NZ, the love. i miss it already.






wild pig at the animal farm, running around and constantly licking my shoes. that's rebecca(:
the HORRIBLE, accomodation, but nontheless fun where rachel and i squeezed on the lower deck cus we were afraid of the blue house.
roads in NZ are like San Fran's, up down, up down.
the HAKKA. <3 id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5209866525355457010" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQ8u2fKs54y-Cqx4HD0hSSut-lOZolOsVu_niBUx8fQgBrcnNQGPrkGpTkiKoDbTmsuh2ENdUFfMd056nZGtJ7Ukv7WlzAFcN_rnS6g7WHDmkqh12r8VUnST2LtaBaeHSjQi_2HuWm87zZ/s320/DSCF0954.JPG" border="0"> this is the UGLIEST yet CUTEST pig i've ever seen. it was FREAKING FAT i tell u, and as it trotted around lazily, it had saliva(ALOT) dripping from its mouth. OMG. funny.

somewhere in the forest. haha.
long but enjoyable bus rides with my bus partner,rachelbok(:
COWS. MOOOOOO. they look much better than the local one!oh you know NZ is having environmental problems because their air has too much methane due to the infinite no. of cows they have in their country! the cows must fart alot!:D
1st accomodation, where we had to prepare our own breakfast, wash the dishes after dinner. but that's how we bonded to become one big noisy family: D
after amazing race with the NZ students, my team came in first!(: it was fun. the 2 girls are really pretty and nice:D


Maori Cultural dance.
cam whoring before rushing to the bus cus we DIDNT HAVE A GREAT DEAL OF TIME(inside joke)
being BRIEFED about the maori culture, what we should do and shouldnt, IN THE COLD, when we could actually have done it on the bus! we stood there for at least half an hour!
a different pig. this one, super dirty. look at its snout.
in katikati college's library:D jessica serena and bok(:



kiwi 360. yumyum.
katikati college. 1st 2 girls rachel and i got to know(:
des and i, omg great company. the girl's crazy<3 href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2ZcLckwFDcrxrXRoe6eourSpAGz3i_f63CMYf68cOr_wXkeaRmnnzQCNlv_pYhn7rUlJr-n1_NRGPRwahrr7AR1qM8urRhS7fyhPvxnenPeD5sHAaTyUmvZIF8fRYvEw7lleTeLExYp6n/s1600-h/DSCF1034.JPG"> HAHAHAHHAHA! this guy totally made me laugh. we weren;t suppose to cus it was suppose to be a serious ceremony, but but, he came out, jumped around like a cute monkey, slapped his thighs and stuck out his tongue and went" HAAAAAAAAAA". i really couldnt contain my laughter, and sniggered, which dominoed into des rachel and some other people behind laughing. last resort, i squeezed my nose real hard so that when i laughed no sound would come out. it was really damn funny. HAHAHA.
jayjays. their shopping centres open at 8am and close at 6pm. and it's only one storey, but have the same no. of shops as those in Spore which have 4 levels.hahaha.




Panoramic view of Auckland. sweet.
that wildpig kept following me, so zy had to take food to distract it.hahaha
students at katikati. goodness their school days beat ours handsdown. they have SO MUCH FUN in sch and we have none. AND they have a canteen where they buy their food from but there are no tables or chairs there so they bring their food out of the canteen and eat ANYWHERE they want in school.hahhaa. most sit under the trees in the field to eat. SO CUTE.
KIWI FRUIT.
see the house in the background? that's how ulu houses in NZ are. the next house is like super far away, but they have all that greenery to themselves! (:


just a few pictures out of the few hundreds we took in NZ. the trip was fantastic. had so much fun, and my interest for geog has multiplied by 10!! hahaha. it was really enriching(: so many more photos of rotorua and waitomo( some are on rachel's blog), but im lazy to upload alr. haha. shall upload everything onto my photo album on facebook soon. that'd be so much easier. Mr Sahlan and Miss Lee were super funny and nice on the trip. got to know them so much better. Mr sahlan is a total joker i tell you. Our debriefs would take twice the time every night because of his interjections, funny jokes and expressions. Rihanna's unfaithful came as a laughable surprise, which got all of us rolling on the floor. and his blood pressure machine, HAHHAHAHA. oh oh and REBECCA AND WENDY. that was the joke which lasted thru our 7days there. seriously. they totally look alike i tell you. photo, refer to bok's blog.hahaha. and our EXFOLIATION presentation. good thinking rachel. thank God everyone thought it was funny. hahaha. and sharing toilets with miss lee, her requirement that floor is to be dry at all times and no hair in the shower, resulted in us being the new chamber maids. as seen from pictures above. bathing was SO tiring i tell u. hahaha. Late nights with des and bok, trying to scare each other till 2 plus in the morning, talking about nicholas, and the blue house. and having to wake up at 6, but the 3 of us always woke up the latest, resultin in us missing breakfast and going, "i'm hungry im hungry!" in the bus. haha. super fun. and our TOTALLY MESSY rooms. and singing HOME, in the limestone cave. our voices sounded so melodious, and blended so well. geography fieldtrippers choir. initially found practising national day songs to present to the NZ students stupid, but it's always like that, when u're in a foreign country, all of a sudden, that patriotic side in everyone comes out. hahaha.
alright theres so much more i wanna say, but am going to town with mom and rati. hahaha. it's her birthday:D and there's great singapore sale, SHOPPING:D and in the evening, dropping by ECP to meet the DL boys. they're having a picnic and camping there tonight.LOL.
bye!(:
