Went to Maori dinner today at 4.30pm in school.. before that, I went to a cafe to have my chicken with chips.. not bad.. cost me NZ $8.50... i also bought a drink called 'fluffy', basically it juz have alot of foams lol with marshmallow inside... so yep.. went to meet the other friend from singapore studying here for 3 years in horticulture. So we went to the dinner with his other friends.. got to mix around with really alot of people lol.. but alright... not bad.. at least I am outside doing something.. something new.. not staying at home.. I hope I have more activities going on.. dun wan to waste my time here doing no sightseeing... Yea.. the dinner was nice.. they actually cooked the food deep into the ground and cover them totally with sacks and bags of sand.. so the aroma really goes into the food.
Ya of coz.. also the maori performance. Any idea wad maori is? it's actually another race that live in NZ beside New Zealanders, they are the ones who found NZ.. and they are sort of tribal and they are fairly black people. Many names in NZ are not in English, they are all Maori language. ie Manawatu, the place i stay in, Taupo, Kapati, Rotorua, Tararua... all these are of Maori origin.
During the performance.. I can only hear mysterious tongues.. lol.. and they are really fierce.. just look into their eyes.. they widen it on purpose.. to scare off predators.. and yea their voices were so loud and strong and intimating.. almost to the state of shouting while singing.. but it was great.. the way they harmonise it.. splendid vocals...
So you know.. the bus service on weekend ends at 4.30pm... so it's like I was going back home but no transport... so yea.. my friend bought a second-hand bike.. wow not bad.. quite fast and ez to cycle.... lol but his bike doesnt has any light on it and i could get caught.. and the streets are really dark. So he used his touchlight and taped it in front of the bike.. lol It was really a cool experience.. the night was tingling cold and I cycles really fast because on the way through a very short underpass, a man was peeing.. Oh mine! too shocking.. but I didnt see anything.. only his pee haha... so disgusting.. so I just zoom past him.. didnt even look at him.. scared later he come after me.. coz itz night time and no cyclists only cars.. so I just sped home.. very exhausted.. phew.. he didnt stalk me haha...
Quite a nice outing.. met this girl, a californian.. but originally from China, her grandparents... but she cant speak Chinese anyway...
