HELLO(:

nz was so super cool!(: and funny. haha. though there were un-fun times too. like having to wake up at like 6.30. and having lessons at night till 9. and haha i ate fish and chips till i was so sick of it man. guess i still prefer asian food. (: oh and one night it went below 0 degrees and there was frost everywhere which made the ground look white and we thought it was snow. turned out to be frozen dew though. :( awwwww

visited mudflats volcanoes mountains geothermal stations caves dams and other places too. haha mudflats was super freaky there were like tiny crabs everywhere i must have stepped on nearly hundred of them. and there were these whole piles of snails too they were piling on top of each other haha and we were trying not to step on them but i think i stepped on a few

volcanoes were cool we visited it on the first day and it was super windy i swear we all got nearly blown away by the wind. we saw terraces too. got a nice view of auckland. and on the sixth day or sth we came close to where mordor was filmed the place's called mt doom and it was a black mountain. or maybe it was a black volcano hahaha i don't know.

walked through rainforests too. and visited caves the gloworm caves were frigging cool and pretty :) the gloworms were like on the ceiling of the caves and they looked like stars. though i was kinda scared the gloworms were gonna fall on me hahaha. but we couldnt take photos cus might scare away the gloworms or something but anyway it was so dark nothing would show up in the photo. same thing for the kiwis cus we would blind their eyes. and there's this kiwi which sleeps for 15+ hour per day haha.

went for gloworm night walk too, damn scary. stupid huiting didnt bring her stupid torchlight cus she didnt have batts. haha. stupid. :D anyway we saw a few gloworms but the prettiest sight was still the night sky, it was filled with stars and you could see the whole milkyway :) damn nice and i thought i saw a shooting star:D so i made a wish. haha. nian-ci thought she saw one too

visited limestone caves there were some gloworms inside and we saw the fishing lines of the gloworms damn cool! (: (: (:

and we saw transgenic clones of cows. which are cows containing extra DNA stably integrated into their genome. haha. but otherwise there's no visible difference between a normal cow and a transgenic cloned cow except that a transgenic cloned cow's lazier. and saw a cow shit omg seriously gross like suddenly shit just comes out of the anus

stayed overnight at a maori place for a day the other times we just stayed at other backpackers places for one night before moving. the maori place was shit ass cold and it wasnt as low tech as i thought it would be. well for one thing this girl was wearing surfer paradise shorts so you know the place's quite modern. and we had to rub noses with the family omg i was so nervous before it. the children were like damn cute! haha. and before dinner everyone was rushing to take a photo with them. oh and out dinner was like heated in the earth before being dug up it was featured in amazing race.

ohohoh not forgetting the freezing jet boat ride we got ahhh DAMN COOL! we should have rode up the rapids though! the guy gave us fake hope! :((( it was super super frigging fun and the wind was just like rushing past us and freezing us and we kept screaming. hahah. especially li en. and whenever the guy did the 360 degree spin we got wet mostly the people sitting on the sides though. i wanted to sit at the side :( but i got to sit at the back though. next to priyanka who was at the side. and sitting at the back equals to getting your lungs full of carbon monoxide and being the ones with the most severely throbbing ears after the ride

and allan wu took the same flight as us back to singapore i don't like him though/

dinner on the last night was freaking funny playing truth or dare haha huishan's answer was damn funny, left everyone at the table laughing like shit and me with a even sorer throat haha.

nz people are oh-so-friendly and so much nicer and warmer compared to singaporeans :) in nz if you wave at someone they wave back at you and sometimes they even say hi when they walk past you. heh and this day some guys honked at us at lake taupo a lake the size of singapore

trying to upload some photos but stupid blogger wont work so maybe later
