Day 43: Finally the weekend!

Friday, 13/8/10

Yes! Slept in till about lunch time. Went to kapa haka practice. So we are learning a haka called He Oranga Mai. Right now were just learning the words and later, someone will be teaching us the motions. Also the others are Waikato te awa, E ko te tui and E noho Tuheitia. Really good, cuz these are the songs and dance that I am learning in kapa haka class. So it should be easy, just hope that the motions are the same. There is about 20 of us from Waikato attending this conference. So 20-22 August, were suppose to stay at a marae. Not sure where yet. And then 26-29 is the Te Huinga Tauira conference. I'll put up more information regarding the conference. After practice, went to WSU (Waikato Students' Union) to pay for the rest of the conference fee. Thought I had to pay $100NZD, but only $60 which came up to $110 for everything!


So since it is Friday 13th, here in Aotearoa. Someone on my floor came up with the idea to head to this place called Spookers?! Haha, it's basically a hunted house place. But there is also a hunted forrest. So it's outside of Auckland. Left here a little past 7pm and arrived at Spookers about 9pm. Paid $20 for the Hunted Forrest, there was choke people there! So it's not really hunted but, people dressed up to scare you. I am not sure why I said yes, but just wanted to hangout with the people on my floor. There was about 10 of us of our floor that went. It was raining and of course the ground wet and the grass all muddy. We just had to go to the forrest cuz it was the scariest! So we went! In groups of 5! Pitch black, raining and getting my shoes all muddy. Great! It was funny at the beginning because there was like a small tunnel everyone goes through. So, of course I am at the back and like no one really wants to go first and see we were stalling. Eventually we passed that and stayed close to each other like opihi! Haha, 5 of us, 1 flashlight, choke people bout to jump out and scare you! It was somewat scary, only because the girls kept screaming! If you are really scared, you can just tell them to stop....basically stop to everyone! HAHA...I didn't say much, kept my head down and did not look up at those people! Never look back! That's what I kept telling one of the girls cuz she kept looking back and there was someone following us. Through the forrest, you kinda of could tell or get the feeling that someone is bound to jump out and make big noises! In the end, it was really funny how we all reacted! Left there a little after 10pm and grabbed a late dinner/snack at McDonalds. Got back at the dorms at about 12am. Of course this was a once in a life time event! WATA night!
