Thursday

Oh my GOD! It's thursday! Ahhhhh.. Time flies by man! And i'm going to DIE! I only have ONE week (and a bit more) of holidays left! Oh nooo. I don't want school to start. =( *sobs* Haiz. Ah wellz, my wish will probably never come true unless i die, or i have some serious problem which prevents me from going school (which probably isn't very nice anyway so i'd rather choose school). Ok. Well, this past week has been relatively megaslack. Er like went to school on monday to contribute my photos. It was horrible, only sec 4s whom all are self-sufficient. I just gave my photos and stoned. The guy didn't even take many of them la. Twit. So in the end helped mrs chong pack her stuff lor, coz she had to pack since she's leaving, then also photocopy some stuff for her. Found out the school's photocopy machine is so cool! Hahahaha. Has the 2-sided mode which i always found fascinating. Ok whatever. I think tuesday.. OHHHHH. Tuesday! XD. I went out with a friend. Went to watch Mrs and Mrs Smith, which i found really funny. Though it's probably the only movie where they actually keep the camera on 2 same people for not less than 3 seconds. Angelina and Brad Pitt's face were swimming around in my head after that la. *dizzy*. I think the movie's nice la, might even buy the vcd when it comes out. It's funny in it's own way, as in those comments they make, yeah, and the acting is good la. Hahahahah. Ok guyz go watch it yourself la. Wednesday, yesterday ser zheng, clement and yong jing came over, to do Social Studies project. We managed to finish allll the way to step 5 leh! Haha. I think the last step we'll be leaving to our last group member la, who's this malaysian scholar whom i think is back in malaysia. We spent our whole day doing it, while of course playing. I started on playing WoW. A gnome mage, haha, which is currently level 8 already. This morning also started another one with my sis, an undead mage. Then i realized that they have the same skills because they're both mages. -.- I thought the undead and the gnome will make a difference to the character. Apparantly it's just how the person looks and the quests he gets? Not sure. Then we both went out for lunch at ikea, ate meatballs. Er, came home and kope jevon's nz photos, then sorted out my photos.. added some of his, then burned onto cd and went to develop them! Haha. So funny lor. Because my parents aren't in Singapore right, then they didn't give us allowance la, plus we went out and ate big lunch, so i was BROKE la. Then my dad told me that I only need to pay tomorrow, as in, when i collect la. So anyway. Oh ya, their machine is ubercool la! Haha. You insert the cd in, then it's this touchscreen computer la. Then first u choose the size of your photos la, and matt or glossy. Then after that it'll display all the photos in the cd la. Then under each photo there's like a number and a + and a - sign. So ya, there's also a all + - sign. Ya, so press all + la, then under each photo will have a 1. Ya, so then some of them i wanted to develop for other people la, so i press + lor. So cool right! Ya, so after that like submit, then it'll calculate how much it costs, and print out receipt. I also blew up this group photo for mrs chong. So sad that she's leaving lor. Haiz. So anyway, printed out, dadida, then was 49.60 la. I didn't know an 8R photo was $6!! Ok, so then she wrote out the stuff, then ask if i was using any of the credit cards etc. Then i was like "errr, no?" Obviously right. *rolls eyes* Then she said "if you're paying cash then must put $20 deposit." BURST. I didn't have any money! ok la, i had 10. And my sis had 4. So i was like "er, i don't have money. I only have $14." Then the girl like "errrrrrrr.. then $10 lor." Hahaha. I bet she was thinking where got TWO people and then can't even have $20 between them. But she couldn't probably like reject my photos, since i'd already uploaded them, plus she had to calculate, key into her register etc. So ya, she just took 10 lor. So now our entire household is having major lack of money. Cons had to borrow 30 bucks from chars, who's now left with 5 bucks to buy her assessment books. So now i'm left with 15 cents. XD. Cons was left with 4 bucks. Hahahha. But then, now my aunty's home! Muahaha. Now i have money!! Yeah, tomorrow going to collect photos, then go school with yong jing to take photos for geography project. Hmm, my projects are all going well, but my individual work isn't. Bleaugh. Ok dont talk about work. Ah wellz.. I shall finally start blogging about day 3 onwards of new zealand! XD

30th May Day 3.

First thing we did was go to school! Except it was only at like 9am. Muaha. We went to this Auckland Grammer School. I think it's similar to Melbourne's scotch college in a certain way, in that their buildings are all very spread out, and rather low rise. Whereas like our RI and RJ are all super high hor. So mordern. This place was built in some sort of spanish style i think. Because at that time NZ didn't have their own style of like buildings, since they were all like different races together. So yeah, it was some competition, then they picked the best design, and it was spanish! Yup, so we sat in, or rather stood, coz there were not enough seats for the assembly. It's super different from ours. Theirs is held in a hall, with seats. Then like a prefect reads out some prayer i think. Then the headmaster goes up there, and reads out the announcements of the day. I couldn't catch what he was saying la, coz his accent and he wasn't talking very loudly. Hahahaha. So after that we had an address by the deputy headmaster i think. And it was in some really gross place la. Coz they say supposed to greet us at the front steps, but it was raining and super cold. Then the 2nd choice was taken up by some class la, so in the end ended up in some really weird place. Bleaugh. Ya, so was "welcomed" then we went to class lor. Our fellowship group was sent to maths class, where they were learning how to plot graphs i think, y=mx+c thing la. Yeah, i remember something about how drawing graphs was pointless whereas plotting was much more important or something liddat. Hahaha. It was quite short and boring, he like didn't teach and talked to david court instead. Oo but one thing ah, they're super quiet la. It was amazing! They sat alone, as in like single file, then they were all doing their work and listening to teacher lor. I mean, even if people came to visit us, i think we wouldn't be so attentive anyway lor. Hahaha. Well, so ya, quite fast then went over to geography class. The teacher quite funny la, couldn't really control the class that well. And there were 2 naughty boys, though quite funny la they all, at least what they do aren't like the childish stuff singaporeans students do. But i can't remember liao. Quite fast and it was over, then ya lor, left the school. Felt as though we were intruders really, no proper address, nobody caring about us much. Aiya whatever la, hahaha. None of us really want to go school anyway. =)

I think we then went to an automated milking farm. It's really interesting! Haha. It's like they have to train the cows to ownself walk to the machine there, then the machine right, first is like use this brush thing to clean the cow's udders la. Oh wait, before that right, there's some identification on each cow la, then in the com's system, they already have a record of like where the cow's udders are located la, coz diff cows will have diff bodies right. So ya, they'll use a laser to like recheck where the udders are, coz like sometimes they have more milk, then the udders will be spread apart etc. Ya, so then the cups will go there and cover up the udders. After all 4 have been found, then there's a vacuum and all the milk will just slosh come up. So cool right. Ya, so when it's done, they'll like release lor, then the cow will walk away. So what's amazing is that the cow can actually learn the routine! They're not that silly after all. =D. And apparantly what's even more amazing to the farmers is that right, like during winter when they don't have milk, they're moved to another place to graze la. But then yet when summer comes, they still can remember how to go to the auto machine. So cool! Hahaha. So yeah, took photos of the machine, only saw the bottoms of the cow since the cows were outside, and we were inside, and the machine was between us and the cow.

We then went to our lodgings for our night if i'm not wrong. It's some ulu maori place, which is the native for the new zealand people. The stupid teachers la, make it sound like a super scary place, where they might just eat us up if we do something wrong. Hmph. Ya, so it was like on the way there right, we were made to sing our "tribe's" song. Which was some super silly chinese song. Sheesh. Then they go say what, must be chinese coz theirs is in their own language and not english. Might as well sing our national anthem right, then it'll be in malay liao. Or our school song la! Even more unique to our "tribe" right. So some sec 4 guy was elected as our chief. Ok when we first arrived, got one half-naked guy came out la. And we were all like standing there freezing our asses off lor. Sheesh. Ok he danced around, did some stuff which were totally ununderstood by us, then presented some feather on the ground. So our chief went to pick it up as a sign of like peace. So then we sat on the chairs, then our cheif read out some message of peace or dunno what la. Haha. Then er, we stood to sing our silly song, then their turn to say the message, which was in their own maori language, after which their cheif kindly translated to english for us. =) They sang their song, then we went to the fari noi, i think, which is big house in english. ALL of us in one room. So scary. I was squashed between jevon and yh. Ya, then there was some big squabble coz apparantly that tze wei go and save a bed for yong jing, then bennett go and kope it, coz there were no other beds already. Ya, so until after dinner almost going to sleep still haven't settle la *rolls eyes*. Er, we then went to the fari koi or something, which means food house or eating house. Ate dinner, which was good! Lamb =D. Hahaha. Super nice. Watched some performance by them, quite nice actually, though simple la, but entertaining still. Haha, then some people were picked to go and dance with them =P Tze wei was one of them, quite funny really, but lighting was bad so none of our cameras could take them clearly enough. =( Sad. Then went to sleep lor. I didn't bathe that night la, coz there were only 2 cubicles, and it was freezing. *brrr*. Played cards till quit late la, yeah. It was quite funny, coz i keep calling ser zheng as my partner, and he keep calling me. Then jevon and wee hao were left as partners, and wee hao was apparantly a newbie, then they kept losing. =P So it was a fun night man. Haha. Went to sleep, and yeah, that's the end of day 3. Hmm. Wow, considering nothing much was done in that day, i've typed a lot! Hahahaha. Well, tired now, going off so see ya guyz soon! XD.
