time:3:29 PM Sasha's back!!Realli happy to be back home but i feel sad too.I left so many awesome memories in new zealand.For tt 9 days, i have shed tears wif different kinds of student leaders.I still believe tt i went to NEW ZEALAND!-*DAY ONEI was at the airport at abt 5 and met rosazlin's family there.Apparently we were the second family to arrive so we decided to go for dinner at the nearby food court.My family and i ate for the last time togather.Then i made my way to Terminal 2.Everyone was there, wif family and fwens.I think i was the only one w/o fwens there. (but it is okay, i knw tt all of em are bz!)Then Mr Low arrived and said a prayer for everyone..Finally, we were given 2 more minutes to say our last goodbyes to our families.I felt sad and worried bcox this the first time i am goin away for a long time and i am worried tt my family will have probs.But my dad told me tt i have nothing to worry abt.My uncle gave me $50 extra and so did my dad.I made my way to the Departure Terminal.From there on, i was on my own, wif onli my kcp fwens and pierce fwens.I introduce myself to the other leaders. ( Jus trying to be friendly)Once on the plane, i was sitted in between eugene and theophilus.The worst seats EVER! ( No la! Actualli i was lucky to sit in between the 2 most "gentleman" boys )The whole 10 hours was so BORING!I could not do anything but watch the movies tt were shown.The movies were Charlie and the chocolate factory, fantastic 4 and herbie fully loaded.-* DAY TWOAt abt 11, we all arrived at new zealand airport.Goin thru the security check was like hell.But it was fun though bcox i had time to "cuci mata". [ hahahahaha! :) ]For the whole day, we went sight seeing and went eating.We onli arrived at the Outdoor Pursuit Centre at abt 8pm. (new zealand time)We were greeted by PADDY, who is one of the instructors there.Then i got to knw, Chris, Jon and Robyn.THEY WERE SO NICE AND FRIENDLY!Chris is the crazy guy wif a weird hairstyle, while Chris is the CUTE instructor and Robyn is the GREAT LADY instructor.Everyone of them made us felt like we are part of new zealand.-* DAY THREEWoke up in the morning and had a nice breakfast tt was cooked by PETE.Then we started to prepare for my group's long walk to a natural waterfall.I was in GROUP 3 tt comprises of TESSA, JULIA, THEOPHILUS AND ZHI WEI.Our long walk lasted us abt 5 hours and we had to walk in a cold stream to arrive to our destination.The water was freezing cold and i felt my butt freeze for the whole journey.Some of us were so clumsy tt we kept on dropping into the water and got wet.The whole group really helped each other eventhough they were cold and wet.The whole group showed teamwork and communication skills in this whole journey.Once we arrived at the waterfall, i felt like crying bcox the view was BEAUTIFUL.If onli aboo and my fwens were here to see this wif they own eyes.We decided to play in the water so we all walked in the waterfall togather!SO COOL MATES!We arrived for dinner on time and joined the rest.We had a wonderful meal.Then CUTE Chris gave us a presentation abt leadership.Finally, all of us were sent to bed.All of us were so pumped up tt we all could not sleep at all..Then the whole of KCPians decided to play volleyball.We actually kicked PIERCE'S BUTT! ( but they were tough!)From this game, i got to knw CHRISTOPHER, KRISTAL, DANIEL, PHILBERT, JOWELL, MELISSA and many more. ( they are realli a nice batch of ppl)-* DAY FOURThe normal routine for the day like breakfast and toilet duties.Then we had a group discussion wif group 3We decided to do MOUNTAIN CLIMBING!We were suppose to climb a mountain abt 5000 metres high w/o ropes.Wicked MATE!The whole journey took us abt 6 hours but once all of us reached the summit, the feeling was awesome.The adrenaline rush in ur body was making everyone cry and i could not believe i made it!Theophilus reali helped alot, so did Daniel.From the summit, we could see the other mountains like Mt DOOM and many more.The mountain tt we conquered was Mt Pukikaikiori!You think climbing it was fun?Nope, getting down it was even more fun!We had to slide down w/o ropes again!I neve thought i was so clumsy but now i knw.I was the onli one tt dropped so many times. ( 12 times on my butt!! :)My butt had a bruise after tt.I had the responsibility to led the entire group back.It was FUN!Everyone was under my control!!!!!-* DAY FIVEToilet duty was terrible today, ppl tt was inside left some weird smell in it and i had to clean it up.Now i knw how my mom feels when she cleans the toilet!! ( i understand mommy)Today is all abt H2O. ( WATER!WATER! )We were goin tube rafting in the rough waters.Each of us were given an individual tube and we are suppose to sit in the tube and let the water take us where ever it wants!SCARY!!!The whole journey was suppose to take 4 hrs but then one of my teammate was cold and she could not take it. We were forced to abandon the whole trip.We were stuck in the middle of the waters and had no other way up.In the end, we were forced to go thru the jungle, in our wetsuits! :)It was realli hard to climb the steps in our wetsuits bcox it was realli tight!There was a time when i was suppose to climb a step but it was to high.I was struggling!But THEOPHILUS HELPED ME!I told him to juz hold me but don pull me up. ( i wanted to do it myself)But he didnt hold me but instead he pulled me up all the way by himself.He gave me a shock!I was not even ready to be pulled up!But still i had to thank him!CRAZY BOY!Even though we did not get to finish the whole trip down stream, while waiting for transport to arrive, me, julia, theophilus, jowell and prischilla, had fun in the water!We had a WATER FIGHT!!!!!!We were the onli ones tt we wet in the end!Since onli my group was back, we then decided to do FLYING FOX!It was so much better then the ones i did before in singapore, bcox the view was amazing!!-* DAY SIXToday was all abt camping outdoors.We are suppose to hike to our camp site tt is called RITTS!It was a long walk but before making our way there, we went caving!We went into a real cave with onli a small torchlight.I had the chance to see the GLOW WORMS!They were beautiful.Then we made our way to the camp site.The whole campsite was nice and cosy!We then set our tents and started cooking dinner!We all ate dinner by the campfire.It was realli romantic but too bad aboo was not there.The sky was flooded wif stars and the fire kept everone cosy and warm.I was sitting beside Jowell, he was my so called best frens there bcox he was realli nice to everyone!He was jokes abt home and skool and from there, i got to knw more abt their skool.It was getting late, so everyone made our way to the tents.The boys and gerls tents were jus next to each other and we could hear everthing tt they were talking abt!The gerls were asking me abt my love life.They made me talk abt my first ex.It brought back sad memories but i did not show how much i wanted to cry!I juz remind cool!Talking abt this topic, made me miss my baby more! :)-* DAY SEVEN, EIGHT AND NINEAfter the camping, we made our way to the OPC!We started packing and made our way to the hostel in the town of ROTORUA!We had to stay in hostel for this two days!It was realli fun bcox then all the KCPians had secret meetings in my room!We talked abt the days happenings and the latest gossips!The guys were having fun on my bed and they even tried to destroy my bed!Theophilus and Simon are the main culprits!The next day we went crazy shopping till bankrupt!Then we all made our way back to our home SINGAPORE!My parents and uncle and aunty came to welcome me back!Really surprised tt they arrived!The saddiest part for me was saying goodbye to fwens tt i have known for tt 9 days and also leaving new zealand!The tears in our eyes really showed our teachers the tight bond tt each one of us had!I will neve forget my GROUP 3 MEMBERS and the rest of PIERCE MEMBERS!* Thank you to everyone who helped us in this trip and thanks to everyone tt helped me in this trip! :)
