i shall start posting about the new zealand trip, since a few people (AHEM AHEM) are really eager to copy off what i write.
I DEMAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, DUDES. (if im feeling mean, i want royalties too :D)
so this is the day we all left for new zealand!
stayed up packing till like 1-2am coz there were SO MANY things to pack. had to sit on my luggage to close it ><
went to school for like 50min to celebrate janny's bday :D haha blur girl was supposed to walk past the amphi area so we could ambush her, but somehow her parents dropped her off at the parade square, so >< surprise attempt failed. haha. we ended up walking towards her holding some weird cake/candy thingy (which dayna got from ikea, was it?) and candles stuck in it 10 minutes before assembly started. the whole parade square was like staring or sth.
went for civics, continued watching invictus >< ran out to the photocopy shop halfway, came back, dumped notes with the class, then ran off, back home :D haha. met waiian on the way out to collect a note she wrote(: super sweet!
uhh. i cant really remember what i did at home short of sleeping, using the com and doing last minute packing.
went to the airport around 515 coz my dad said there would be some massive traffic jam. whatever you say, daddy.
ended up there at like 545, 15 minutes early. mum talked to mr chan (i hate it when teachers and parents talk).
uhh, lets see. checked in our luggage when everyone arrived, then split and went for dinner.
(HEY CUIERS AND ZHIYUAN, IF YOURE READING THIS, THANKS FOR COMING TO SEND US OFF :D HOPE YOU ENJOYED DINNER!)
i went for dinner with cuiers and zhiyuan. haha was some major suanning session. even my dad joined in. unfortunately, he decided NOT to help his own daughter. how wonderful -.-
haha by the time we all got together again after dinner, there was this whole big group/gangs of people that gathered to send us off. lets see if i can remember. there was joel's class, jonsee's class, francis' 01 scouts, team 1, the previous hillary team, oh rachel yek and i cant really remember anymore >< oh there were rgs teachers (actually just ms mariette ong)! and mrs julie hoo :D somehow it just added up to be this whole huge group of people :D
hannah was so super sweet, she wrote the 3 girls little cards whose message can only be read if they're read together :D and cheryl made us little keychains that we can hang on our stuff (thanks cheryl :D) thankyou 45th for the cards!
after like idk, half an hour of byes and a whole lot of waving, we finally made it through the gates! haha. and we were STILL waving our arms off inside the gate xD
i just broke my own personal record for like the fastest decision made for buying stuff. EVER.
haha because my camera was some really lao pok thingy that was falling apart, daddy gave me like $200 to buy a new camera. and with the WHOLE team plus teachers standing there waiting for me, it was a HELL LOT of stress lah. like seriously. it was just: walk into shop, see camera, like camera, buy camera. FASTEST DECISION EVER ZOMG. haha. at least i dont regret it! and my camera comes with this cool make-up mode that automatically conceals all your pimples xD how cool is that!
got window seat in the plane! bryan swapped seats with mrs lee, so bryan, francis and i ended up together in the same row. haha bryan and i decided to watch shutter island, and we both got really freaked out and started saying how we were going to get nightmares! >< francis just sat in between the both of us and laughed >< thanks dude. haha cant really remember what we ate on the plane, except that it was vaguely good. chicken i think? haha oops. anyway, the movie was quite good, even though the twist at the end was abit lame, and the story ended in a slightly freaky way.
i cannot believe i actually wanted to watch 'the imaginarium of dr. parnassus' while it was out in cinemas. okay, so the list of cast looks great. you dont actually get to see any of the good actors/actresses in the first 45min of the show. there was SO MUCH TALKING. goodness. after the first 45min, i actually just gave up watching the movie and went to sleep. haha i am SUCH a trendsetter, coz the two other people beside me who were watching the same show, gave up shortly after me and went to bed xD SUCKERS. none of us managed to finish the show xD
woke up after awhile of sleeping coz its like virtually impossible to sleep comfortably in economy class (unless you're
1. a big fat pig, or
2. really tired, or
3. just able to sleep anywhere in any position)
haha and yes. my two other rowmates woke up shortly after me. no, its not because i was noisy or anything >< its not like i talk to myself! tried to camhore abit >< quite fail xD played abit of bejeweled before we landed.
oh oh! and the plane was the new plane! the one with the usb port so you can actually charge your stuff if you wanted to! but i left my ipod charger in my bag >< and my ipod was full batt anyway.
reached nz at something like 1050. bright and early in the morning!
to be continued (:
