i want a new blogskin but i'm too lazy to make one.

this is my second blogpost in less than 12 hours but i dont care. i'm pissed off! and when you're pissed off you blog. duh. shoot yourself if you disagree.

apparently the school has started this.. rationing of toilet paper, which has caused us some frustration.

let's analyse; what would be the likely reasons for rationing such an essential item?

1) cut costs
2) punish us for playing and wasting toilet paper
3) did i mention cut costs?

hence we students have to

1) bring our own toilet paper e.g. crystal
2) get males to get it from the male toilet e.g. me, huiyi &company
3) sit through hours and hours of lessons with bladder full.

we had our open house recently, and what did we notice? ONE BIG ROLL OF TOILET PAPER just hanging there on the wall.

why? scared parents know that RV is too stingy to provide their students with toilet paper is it?

i mean like, if the school's intention is to 'promote school spirit', LET THE TEACHERS GO WITHOUT TOILET PAPER AS WELL. teachers not part of the school ar? we students, hence we must be your slaves is it? you all have the luxury of toilet paper, we dont get is it? even the bookshop doesn't sell tissue paper anymore.

-.- this obviously isn't the way to cut costs.

im tired. i shall sleep.

please get an a.

Listening to: "He's a Pirate" -Theme song, Pirates of the Caribbean

i am tired.

i really am! that day chiamiang looked through my glasses and at my eyes and she commented that my eyebags are horrendous.

okay maybe she didn't say that (she actually said my eebags were v 'deep' in chinese). but i really need sleep. i always sleep late on saturday, wake up on sunday all groggy and afflicted with 'LOSS' (Lack Of Sleep Syndrome) and as the abbreviation suggests i really DO lose a lot when i am in the midst of it. i drive my piano teacher crazy because i can't bloody concentrate on the notes in front of me. and she always leaves, frustrated and flustered. my brother doesn't make it any better.

i really really really need sleep. so why aren't i doing anything to help myself?

I WATCHED PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN ALREADY! i want to scream that to the whole world. haha. i think im mad. today at my sister's taekwondo grading there was a girl who said to her brother,"i want to go and watch pirates." and then i felt like turning around and telling her,"I'VE FREAKING WATCHED IT ALREADY, LOSER!!" at which she would look at me with a bewildered expression, probably thinking that i'm an estranged crazy woman. which did not happen.

it's super good. and jack sparrow is so. charming. seriously. he's so funny, even though he's somewhat 'hated' by everyone but he IS very witty and his actions are like, weird in a funny way.

stupid bryan has gone away to japan w his school friends, a fact that i'm extremely jealous about. all of you shall be my witness! he shall come back with my souvenir, failing which he will suffer from a horrible fate. i'm in charge of it : )

im seriously being psycho-ed by the whole jc admission thing.

everyone around me is talking dsa, dsa, dsa. wth. i have no special talents, alright? you all pro aesthetics ppl can go dsa la i shall just sit here and mope okay.

sigh : ( dsa is seriously scary okay. njc dsa is daylight robbery lor you sit for the test still have to pay $50 leh! wah seh this is crap lor. ltr cannot make it how? waste money. dont care lah i shall put all my efforts on mugging : )

cramps are hell. i hate cramps. i will exercise more to get rid of cramps. i will do anything to get rid of cramps. cramps are stupid. i hate cramps.

i think im a useless person.

i dont have any impact on anyone or anything. i dont know much. i'm stupid. im ugly. im totally useless okay.

my brother just ruined my mood to post by peeking over my shoulder and trying to read my blog post. -.- can please dont be such a fucking asshole not ar. and stop going on about zhiler. it's FUCKING irritating.

what's wrong w me.

THERE IS A PROBLEM W BLOGGER. I CAN'T FUCKING ACCESS MY PREVIOUS POSTS TO EDIT THEM. WTF IS GOING ON?

I, Winifred Wong Ying Chee, am henceforth starting my New Zealand trip blogpost as of 10:29, 13th May 2007. Somebody should pay me for this :x

I know, i know, it's a tad bit late, but FORGIVE ME :( there'll be a lot of pictures, i promise.

credit given to xinhang for many, many of the scenic shots she took for me on my camera! i wld never have gotten on hands on such beautiful pictures if not for her :) thanks stupid tablemate.

note: the pictures here are seriously limited, you really, really ought to check out my album at

tomboygurldotalbum.

to get the real deal. these are just the tip of the iceberg.


START.

okay. so we set off for the airport (me and xinhang).


my suitcase. was bursting, seriously, the zip looked threateningly like it was about to burst open.


me and xinhang on the car :) camwhore!

had to wait really long for everyone to check in, and in the meantime went to talk to yitong and zhiler, who lovingly sent us off :D

you can't really see, but it says Mr winifred Wong :x

these darlings came to send us off:

on the extreme left, my dear yitong :D

dominating the whole picture, zhi ler :)

okay i admit we're suaku ppl who hasn't been on a plane for more than 5 hours before :x


okay so we're on the plane and taking one nice picture before we go to sleep.
this is from singapore to brisbane;


this is from brisbane to auckland.


okay so after we reached auckland we got our goody bags and hopped onto the mini van to the new zealand cadet forces base. i tell you hor new zealand weather is so super good, it's like having an air con on, w the sun shining above head! imagine that in singapore!

my hosts are damn nice okay, they're the friendliest people on the planet. they took care of me and mr shahid damn well. took care of our every need :) i love sue kay and eleasha scott : D

we have cereal in the morning (usually) and the apple crumble is SUPER nice. they eat it w hokey pokey ice cream on top, plus LOADS of whipped cream. my god. best thing i've tasted in my life.
the next day we went for a FARM VISIT :D


some random place in auckland. beautiful huh? and it's just a pond.


me w irritating parrot on my arm. it had really sharp claws and when it got off my arm had deep red marks on it.


my pretty host w the parrot on HER arm :)


oh my goodness im on a horse :o


mr shuai ge w parrot on his shoulder. he's the chief of the cadet forces or something.

yeah and we stopped to have lunch! new zealanders like to have picnics leh really. they can have a picnic anywhr, anytime. they like to cart food around. and best of all the food is super delicious :D we had brownies and super chocolately chocolate on top, super sweet and good. cookies too, but some of the m&m's colour was running out onto the cookies. haha.


boliao right. this also want to take. -.-


in the evening we visited queen street; centre of auckland &place to really shop! was really nice, just like orchard road, but less people. loads of branded stuff and all. never shopped luh. haha. too tired to shop.


sky tower, taken from bottom up. really tall tower; you can see it from miles around.


what a busy street it is!

next day;
visit to the memorial place.


took this on a bus! steady cam, eh? haha : )

after that we went for a formal dinner w the new zealand cadets and officers and all.

we performed, but it was damn stupid la omg so damn paiseh i just wanted to like hide my face underground or something.

back to host's house! was the day i had the apple crumble i think.


a picture i drew for my host.

next day;

visit to see the geysers and stuff. think it's sort of a tourist attraction eh.

pretty coffee art :)


mr aloy w the chiobu maori warrior lady! LOL

saw pretty geysers, bubbling mud pools and stuff. then we saw this warrior dance thing, very entertaining. there was this lady who sang vvv well and w good looks to boot :) bought souvenirs, and hit the road again.

some scenic shots:















xinhang is seriously sleepy.

visit to the SA21 training grounds:
sorry i can't post any pictures here; they're not allowed on the internet circulating. so uh i can't let you guys see it here, if you're interested you could come look for me :)

saw radars, mortars and helium balloons LOL. meant for collecting info i guess. and lotsa other cool vehicles. observation posts and how they conceal them and all.

to the army museum exhibition!

shall save you all the boring musuem pics, but if you're interested can go to my photobucket album.


when we were leaving i had an urge to put the teddy on the motorbike LOL. damn cute right!

back to the artillery grounds to watch them fire shots.

they fired 60 over shots, and each shot costs $1 k. so we witnessed the spending of $60,000 bucks, though in a not so conventional way :)

this picture reminds me of some scenic photo leh. with us at the side of the picture and all.


army rations!


sadiq and khai in titanic pose -.- hahaa


jonny looks so anti-social. what's with the hood?

back on the road again!

next day:

went to river valley lodge for bush whacking and white water rafting! was SO good. but i dont deny i was dying after the trek :o the food was super nice too, especially after you've gone white water rafting, and showered, and your stomach is about to rebel against all the grumbling. SHIOK!




nice view from like, 1/10000 of the way up.


okay, okay, big ass camwhore picture :) hardworking trekkers need a break sometimes you know!
