finally, NZ, over

{Continued from the last New Zealand post}

OK so the New Zealand students were teaching us the Poi song.

Soon after the guys came back from I-don't-know-where, and the girls performed for the guys and the guys performed for the girls.
Their dance is damn shioka, LOL.


Ready..


GO!

And then after all our performing, it was our turn to teach them something.
So we taught them our RV Cheer! And it was in Chinese somemore!


It was written on the whiteboard for them, heh.


We even taught them how to do a Kallang wave!
While they are doing it, and cheering, Mr Choy is pointing out the words to them.
LOL.

And then we played this game whereby everyone stood very closely in a circle, and then when they said '1,2,3 sit!' everyone was supposed to half-sit on each other's laps, and try not to break off the circle.
Cool game.


The 4 of them tried doing a mini one..


WHOOPS!
Haha.

And then after a singing session (which was really cool and sweet and stuffs), we boarded the bus to depart for Umupuia marae.
It's this place whereby the indigenous people of NZ, who are Maoris stay.


Ze bus.


In the bus.


Scenery.

Soon after, we reached the place, and after the welcoming ceremony, we were all supposed to proceed to the hall area to eat our lunch.
Quite nice food.

And then we were on our ways to pick cockles!
But there are much lesser cockles left now, because last time everyone just came and took them away, so we were supposed to take it out, and just put it back at the exact same spot.
:D

So after taking out our shoes, we started to walk towards the sea area.
First it was all shells, which was damn painful, then it was the muddy area.


Sea snails!


And then further in was the sea area.. But we were kind of stepping on sandy mud thing.


This guy with the curly hair is one of the people there.. He taught us about the cockles and stuffs.
When he was talking about how the people last time came and took cockles away, he was damn sad, seriously.


And he went against his principle (which was to not kill any cockles) in order to show us what was inside.


Scenery.


Wow, got people bring dog siah.


My own first-dug cockle! I put it back where it was after that, of course.


Jun Weng doing push up. Sheng Ren, Jun Weng come NZ never slack hor! LOL.


Scenery again.


Do you see what I see?
I see a heart.
<3

After coming out and washing up and everything, we went back to rest and slack awhile.


Some of the Singaporeans and some of the NZ students were playing Rugby?
Or something like that.
The match got really exciting.

And then after awhile..


ZHILIANG GOT TAUPOK-ED HAHAHAHA 'CAUSE IT WAS HIS BIRTHDAY.
Even the NZ students also got take part. LOL.

And then they brought us around the place.
First we went into this farm thing..




There were chickens.


And a pig!


And something you won't forget.
YOU WANT FOR DINNER? XD


Cows.


More cows.


Even MORE cows.

Then we climbed this small little hill.


Scenery.


More scenery.


And we were on our way back to the marae.


We saw this. It was supposed to be some kind of dead sheep thing?
That died because it got stuck down there.
Oh my.

And then we left the place..


They were there to see us off..


On the coach on the way back.

Went back to Howick College to eat dinner with the NZ friends.
Exchanged phone numbers, email addresses, took pictures, and enjoyed our dinner.


This was the fanta-fucking-bulous dessert.
HOLY YUM.


And we performed Singapore Town and Singapura to them..
They loved us.
:D
We love them too.

And then saying our final goodbyes to them, we went back to the Empire Apartments.
After our baths and everything, everyone gathered at someone's room to celebrate Zhi Liang's birthday.


You see his cake? Jun Weng and Joshua almost died buying it. Long story.
LOL.


Making a wish. May your wish come true, yo.

Then we went back and slept.

28th November 2008 (Friday)
It was our last day in New Zealand.
Sian.
So fast over.

Went to the airport and unloaded our stuffs.


Took a picture of our beloved tour guide and beloved coach driver.
Christine and Catherine, you rock!
:D


In the airport.


The NZ students coming to see us off.
Only a few were there, 'cause the rest had to attend school.

And then soon it was byebye to New Zealand, hello to Brisbane.
I'm not making this sound like some tour around the world thing, we just stopped at Brisbane for the aeroplane to refuel.

Zhi Liang was being a fucking big joker on the aeroplane, had fun playing Uno with Charmaine, Zhi Liang, Jun Weng and Joshua.
5 people squeeze into 3 aeroplane seats, so nice.
Zhi Liang sucks at Uno! HAHA.
Play like 100000000000 rounds, he only won 1 pathetic round - the last round, whereby the seatbelt sign was on and everybody anyhow anyhow play liao.
LOLS.


Brisbane airport.


Still at Brisbane airport.

And then went back to the aeroplane, Zhi Liang's food items got taken away (DUH, they already announced that all personal belongings would be confiscated, and Zhi Liang hides things badly. Seriously.) and he was petty about it. LOL.

Watched movies on the aeroplane, played more Uno (?) and had fun.

Arrived at Brunei, waited damn long at the damn hot airport for the coach to arrive.
Reached the hotel, after settling down, ate dinner at the dining area downstairs.
Sat with Charmaine, Joshua, Jun Weng, Zhi Liang, Mrs Choy at a table.
So fun, so many nice things to chat about.

Went back to hotel room, found a cockroach in the bathtub (I didn't scream), crushed it after 2 attempts, bathed in 4 minutes, then me and Charmaine went knocking at Jun Weng's room.
He let us in, then we sat on the floor and watched TV.

Then Joshua came out from his bath shirtless, not knowing we were in his room.
He saw us and he screamed and ran back into the bathroom to wear his shirt. LAWLS.

We watched TV, played poker cards, challenged Speed with Jun Weng (still a draw, after a looooong time), sang songs, then almost got to sleep in their room, me and Charmaine on Zhi Liang's bed, such that he didn't have a bed. He tried to sleep beside Jun Weng but Jun Weng kicked him off (accidentally on purpose, since he was acting to be asleep). Then he tried Joshua's bed, and Joshua kicked him off too.

Then I don't know what happened, me and Charmaine decided to go back to our own room to sleep.
Slept.

29th November 2008 (Saturday)
Left Brunei and reached Singapore.

It's finally over.
No more "{To be continued}s".
Done.
Finito.
