`hydroelectric `powerstation`

prEtTy long sandwiCh huhx..

datX e *WATERFALL*

datx e forest trail-

stAndin dowNstram in e rivEr..

hEy! daTx oUr sch's namE!!: 6.45am

bRrRr... FREEZING : 6.20am
this mornin's FREEZING!! god knows y... lolx.. i woke up e earliest n bath 1st(as usual..) as itx quite cloudly today n all of us r wearing our jackets 2 hav our breakfast cuz of e low temp. ..

-breakfast: eggs, cereals wif peach, toast n honey+jam, harshbrown..-
+a litTlE lEsSer daN yTd.. bUt itx oKiE!!...+

After dat... we went onboard e coach, n made our way down 2 explore the Wairoa River, bringing lots of equipments with us..
-cuz we're gona do sum practical exercises on measuring e river(vol., area, animal species ere, types of rocks, riverflow-velocity, river wearing down-meandering..)

our destination's actually on top(near top..=x) of a mountain.. so we r actually goin round .. circling e mt. as we travel ere..
*we're comin round e mt. here we come..~ we're comin round e mt. here we come..*
": e road was narrow + e bus's huge!!! = we'r fallin down e cliff!!~ :"omg.. bud Jaime(our guide + driver + helper..) hav e skills.. so all of us r safe!!~ *clapsclAps..

wen we reached ere.. we actually went down 2 measure e velocity of river flow, area, gradient of e downstream river.. - e h2o's FREEZING ere!! hahax.. bud itx cooling 2 dip ur legs in..
practical: we drop rubber balls down e river n measure e time taken fer it 2 travel 4 10m.. den i calculated e velocity of it..
impt: e convex side of e river flows a faster current = more erosion = meanderings..
den we had e chance 2 catch living organisms from e river: e more living organisms u catch = e river's healthy : cuz tingz can actually grow in ere.. hahax..
in my grp.. R. n I. volunteered 2 hlp catch these organisms.. (R.'s wearin my bb. shorts n I's wearin R's bb shorts..) - now u noe y dey r not scared of dirtying themselves... :: cuz itx nt their pants dey'r wearing on!!! lolx..

our lunch's at MCLaren Falls Park.. e land ere's huge!!~ n e 'lunch counter' 's at a cottage nearby.. aso.. ere r sheeps running arnd e place...
+ 1 wrong step too close 2 e edge = u'l go rollin` down e cliff.. +
lolx..
LUNCH- HUGE home'made long sandwich = cucumber, lettuce, tomato, ham, egg, cakes -

aft lunch we entered a rainforest trail`route.. ere hav a big waterfall.. silver`ferns(they can glow in e dark..), dino-plant, glow worms, & a plant dat we can use its slim 2 treat sunburns..(good 4 me huhx..=p).. mm.. its such a cool place.. more interesting dan ani forests i've been thru..
*oh ya*- in e past.. e MAORI tribe ppl uses e 'silver`fern' at night 2 guide their way arnd e forest n navigate..
[ as it can reflect e moom's light effectively.. causin it 2 glow.. ]

then we went 2 visit a 'small' hydroelectric power station.. til quite ''big'' 2 me actually.... e view's jus indescribeable..- totally beautiful.. - as they had released e h20(nt stored up yet..).. u'l b able 2 see e huge boulders beneath..little streams left.. 'potholes'.. even ducks swimmin in ere.. lolx.. bud i din hav enuf time 2 take enuf fotos as tym's running short... mm.. so e pics i took r juz 1/2 of e beauty of nature i've x'perienced... hahax..





V
(took a short ride 2 e city...)

we typically ran arnd e place.. tryin 2 find smt. special 2 buy.. hahax.. i've bought a real [shark's tooth necklace] dat cost me 10bucks.. mm.. den we realised dat we've shopped over time.. so we ran n ran as fast as we can back 2 e coach.. (din wana b left in NZ.. thou itx a v nice place.. no $$ lah sEe..=p)
e trip 'home''s quite uncomfortable as i'm hungry aft all dat runnin.. so once we've arrived.. i juz went straight in 2 e dinning area n 'get prepared'..

so dinners' - rice, curry chicken, chicken stuffing, beans n peas, veges, & icecream+cheeze cake..-

aft eatin i went 2 e hot pool again.. ~RELAX~
(if my life in SG's e same as tix.. i'l b wonderful..)

9.55pm: as i'm writing this journal.. ere tix grp of bout 8 gals nearby me chattin.. screaming.. n laughing so loudly dat my ears r gona POP any time soon.. bud soon lata.. e person in charge of e place came as she had had complains bout e 'noise pollution'.. only aft. dat e gals settled down abit..(really abit only..=x)
heEx.. aniwae.. i'm slpin soon le..
so gOod night!!~
