i had the most AWESOME-est day yesterday! One that i will NEVER EVER forget and will ALWAYS REMEMBER and CHERISH it FOREVER.... i really enjoyed myself to the fullest yesterday.. i know because i was exhausted and i couldn't sleep at night as i was just going over the event that happened last night.. GOSH!!!! it was seriously GOOD!!!! i really liked it!!!!!!! ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.............. let me just start from the start.. might be boring to you but heck! it is A DAY TO BE REMEMBERED for me...
woke up at 5.30.. my pronator teres and supinator were aching from rock climbing the day before.. i couldn't open a can of tuna nor could i really hold my toothbrush properly.. dno why it was so bad..anyway, i reached school at 6.30.. no one else was there so i thought the white water rafting and mountain biking was cancelled... texted assunta.. wasted 20 cents.. GRRRrrR! realized i was just early.... assunta and i did the intermediate mountain biking... we saw all the really fit and sport ppl in it... kinda freaked out.. wanted to join the beginner one instead but in the end we didn't - which was actually a VERY good choice despite the fact that we were in diff buses to yoon young and caris... why? coz our programme line-up was PERFECT!!!
we did mountain biking first.. and gosh!! it was soooo tiring!!! am so unfit!! there was a point where i kinda wanted to give up.... but i didn't because i didn't want to get lost! it was fun going through the Kaingaroa forest.... air was fresh, it didn't smell like cow dunk or any other dunks which was good... and the surroundings were just amazing... was surrounded by green trees.. was really soothing to the eyes..... going down the hills was fun!!! but there was one which was sooooo scary.. the surface was super super uneven....it was called the triple X... i just didn't hv the guts to go down and just pushed my bike down the hill.. lolx!! going uphill was unpleasant but not as bad as going up macleans rd which is the worst hill ever!! i doubt that i can go up macleans rd anymore... not fit enuff... moutain biking was great!! really enjoyed it eventhough it was so tiring... now i can say that i have mountain-biked in the largest man-made forest in the southern hemisphere .. or is it the second largest now? i dno... but yea.. heeheeheee.. it was a great experience and i will always remember it...
after mountain biking.. it was white water rafting at the Kaituna River which is the highest commercially rafted waterfall in the world.. had trouble putting on the wetsuits and i looked really weird in it and it was really uncomfortable to walk in it....the people in the bus were split into half.. so half of us went first, and the other half went second... assunta and i were in the first batch but in different rafts.... kinda gutted not to be in the same raft as assunta but it's all good!! still had heaps of fun and our guides were really funny!the 7m drop didn't really feel like 7m... it wasn't that scary afterall and our raft didn't tip because our guides were good... but i let go as we were coming down so i fell into the water but it was good!!!! sooooo GOOD indeed!!! the water was cold and refreshing.... ahh! i wna do it again!!! apparently i looked like a gumbie when i fell off the raft according to assunta...haha!! it's all good!! i got what i wanted-fall off the raft at least! wanted the raft to tip but ohh wellzzz....haha!! when we were carrying the raft back, i got squashed by it coz i couldn't lift it up and i had leg cramps on both legs... in the end, the guides had to carry it themselves as our raft were all girls... hahahahaha!!! later, i took my own sweet time to get change whilst waiting for the second batch to come back....
after the rafting, we got to relax at the hot pools.. more like throwing balls onto assunta's head... fun!!!!! the hot pool was really a great way to relax the body as well as to warm us up.... was kinda cold after the rafting.....
so u see..my event line-up was just perfect.. if i were to do the basic mountain biking, i will be on the other bus and i will do white water rafting first, hot pools second and mountain biking last.... so i will be all sweaty on the way back.... so yea... at the end of the day, i felt really lucky... well, i felt really really lucky at the end of the electives....
1. got tuesday off as the white water rafting, moutain biking was postponed
2. event line up on wednesday was perfect- was what i wanted.. rockclimbing and abseiling before caving
3. got thursday off where most of the ppl had to go back to school already
4. event line up was perfect on thursday
5. got time to change after the rafting whereas the second batch had to rush
the only thing i regretted from this trip is not bringing my camera and take some photos!! photos wld be good to remind me about it next time.. all i have now is just memories and images in my head... it was really a wonderful time....
this entry is really really long!!! i am actually gonna print this out and keep it just n case this blog gets deleted one day... this is really one of the events in my life that i mustn't forget... *lets out a great sigh of satisfaction*
DEFINITELY NOT A RIP OFF!!! 157 BUCKS BUT WORTH IT!
