HELLO WORLD. i accidentally deleted the last entry which was supposed to be very long. so i'm tired now and the entry about my nz trip shall be very SHORT. GRRR.

day 1: 10hours on SQ285, abt 6hours on bus. how fun can that be?! only reached OPC in the night. for dinner and briefing.
day 2: icebreakers, CAVING! ((: & glow worms.....
day 3: rock climbing. NATURAL ROCK. at which a scene of LOTR was filmed... cool huh?! but i failed myself this day.
day 4: mountain day. conquered mt. TIHIA. on a new trail that even our instructor has never done before.. about 2000m in height but about 6 km in walk. ((: just great. sang Time Of Your Life on the radio on the way back in the van. hahaha. cool.
day 5: dreaded WATER DAY, when the air temp is abt 8 degrees. tube-rafting. got niaoed real bad. and got out the water to find that i got mugged. some retard broke into our van. and smart me brought my wallet out. so there goes my 500 sing dollars in value. pardon my french. f*ing emo day.
day 6: overnight mountain expetition. walked like hell on the tongariro crossing and up some shitting place called the DEVIL's staircase. god damn it. it was the worst thing in my entire life but i was so happy after climbing it with my super big at least 6-7 kg pack for like what----- 3 hours?! talk about SENSE OF SATISFACTION. froze to death on the mountains. BAD WEATHER. air temp abt -2 degrees. RAINED. and had to sleep in one freaking tent. with 5 girls... COZY. had the tent blowing in my face the whole night.

day 7: woke up to find the whole place foggy. called off our plan to go up the summit of mt. tongariro and came back down by the devil's staircase. much better experience coming down but still spent the whole day back down. then, because we had extra time. NICE instructor made us play problem solving games. in the cold. nice. but i have to admit it was pretty interesting. that was about it. OH YAR. and laundry of wet and muddy clothes from climb.
day 8: last day. suppose to go gorging which would have be fun though cold again. but it SNOWED in the night so yup. change of plans. SNOW DAY at happy valley (rock climbing place), with the other team. got attacked pretty badly but i had fun. even though it aint a lot of snow. went back for debriefing then it was over at opc. spent rest of the day travelling out of the area and into roturoa. reached our backpacker's inn in the night. it was quite cool. cold though.
day 9: out for activities! did the swoop which is some really close to bungy thingy...NICE. i am fearless. screamed my lungs out. scary stuff. but i was still not brave enough to do the bungy. no way. and i ZORBED. google that. its one hell of a freaking fun stuff. it was the coolest 30 secs of my life. super fun. then we were off the shopping. dint buy a lot since i lost a lot of money. THANK YOU so much to all who lent me money, esp Eugenia. my saviour. then Yu hui, Jacob, Gavin and Sam. thank all of you.
day 10: had breakfast in the morning at matamata (a.k.a Hobbiton) then a whole lot more of travelling, bus to the airport took a whole 3 hours. and 10 hour plane back again. HOME SWEET HOME.
so well. the entry aint that short after all. overall it was one WICKED trip. SWEET AS. i loved it. wont do it again. but love hanging out with the people. great fun and i learned so much. enjoyable and enriching. to all who and that contributed to the trip, thank you. ((((: that's the end of my nice short entry. till again.

TATA.
