Hello people. I think you can sense how bored my life is now. So much so that I'm giving you updates on NZ Day 6 now. Zhen Lu has already given up reading my posts, so if you're still going strong, good for you. *clap clap*
I think anyone will barely want to read all these lah. It's so dry and I'm like totally spamming photos everywhere, here and there.
Anyway, back to NZ. So we left the chalet-looking-hotel pretty early cos we needed to reach St peters school, cambridge for the school immersion. And since the trip there was 1 hour++, the moment I boarded the bus, it was Zzzz.
So we reached there, and the VP of the school, I cant remember her name, welcomed us and brought us to the toilets. Hahaha. And it was super duper clean. Then after that, she briefly introduced herself and the school before bringing us for a tour around some main parts of the school. Then we went back to the function room where our buddies picked us up.
And very luckily, lifang and me were together cos most of the others were separated and was like one to one kind of thing. And our buddy was Anna! Cute girl! So she brought us around, and showed us her dorm. Cos their school was a boarding school, so they only go home at the end of the week.
Then we went on for the first lesson - Religious class. Learnt about the Islamic values. And their class is small! I think the most only 20 people. And the teacher is not fierce! They dun have to greet their teachers! And is super nice! And they are allowed to use laptops in class! And all of them are super enthu in class cos they fight to answer questions!
And anyway, after religious class was drama class! And it was something like lit. And it was cool! They dun have tables and chairs assigned to every student, so you get to sit wherever you want. On the tables, on the floors, anywhere you want! Damn cool! And then as usual, they fight to do the roles they want while reading the story on I cant remember what.
After drama was lunch. Oh before that, their school is frigging huge. I think a field is big enough to build one Bedok View. Hahaha. Okay. Maybe half. And they got I dunno how many fields. Anyway, it's just big. Huge. Anything that's majestic and yah.
Lunch was spaghetti. And then we had to clear the plates. We needed to clear the leftovers and then simply place the tray on this conveyor belt that will transport it into the kitchen! Damn cool lah!
And then, not forgetting to take some pictures before we went for the farm visit. They have a farm in the school!
So this was our buddy, Anna. She asked us to write her chinese name. Hahaha. So we wrote 安娜. Heh. And there was her friend, Georgia. And told us to write her chinese name too. And we seriously dunno how to. Lol.
Yes. Thats their field. One out of the many fields.
And then we proceeded to visiting the farm.
And I swear, there were loads of poop! Smelly and you must know how to fly if you want to avoid stepping on them.
And and the flower was given to us by Anna! She picked it for us! Ha. So sweet right! And she gave us loads of things lah! Chocolates, pen, a strap and she wrote something for us too! But all we had was that postcard thingy that we prepared way back in Singapore. So bad! 
And then we went on this merry-go-round thing which was something for milking the cows (?) I have no idea. I made that up. Ha.
Anyway, we went back to the school after that and prepared for our performance. So we did the song and the dance. And cos we were wearing our socks, we were slipping all over the place. Lolol. After the performance, we had some games outside. More of those team building games. Pretty fun. But didn't have enough time to complete all since we needed to leave already.
So we departed the school for Auckland. And this time round, we entered the CBD area so we finally saw more people, more cars, less meh mehs.
And we stayed here! Empire hotel. This was supposed to be an apartment style and we thought it would be like the chalet one (which was not supposed to be apartment style). Afterall, 6 people was sharing one room! And the place was small! And it's designed such that you can only go to the level that your room is on! What the heck lah. No visiting!
So we checked in, and I was with Clarissa, Charmaine, Gwen, Tiffany and Lina! There were 3 rooms, so I slept with Cla that night! And since there was time before dinner, we stayed in the room and talked.Dinner was pasta! Woosh. Nice nice!
And since there was a minimarket outside, we were allowed to go out and buy snacks! Considering that it was Halloween that night, we were planning to stay up to watch the horror movies in store! :D
And the people there were all dressed up and I think at least half drunk though it was early evening only.
Since we needed to get our money, we had to take the lift up. And by the lift, there was this tv that was already showing some horror show, and it totally freaked Cla and me out cos it was damn scary and we actually just saw the thing.
And on the way down in the lift, all of us saw some uncensored R rated show. Hahaha.
Anyway, we went out to stock up our snack supplies and went back to our room.
And due to the horror show that we watched by the lift earlier on, Cla and me ended up bathing together. Lol.
Bathed and ended up eating maggiee mee while watching Sleepy Hallows.
It was amazing how I managed to finish up my food cos it didn't taste nice and the show was disgusting!
Anyway, I wanted to watch Friday the 13th but decided against it cos nobody was there to watch it with me and the atmosphere was getting a little creepy. So I decided to go and sleep afterall. Hahaha.
Yupp. And that was basically Day 6!
