KKHS Ball

2009-08-26T03:09:00.000-07:00

Saturday 25th July was the KKHS Ball
The theme was "Mystical Creatures"
Christine Bray - a lovely lady whom I also board with - lent me a dress.
She not only wore the gorgeous dress when she was younger, but had also made it.
Apparently she was asked on numerous outings to wear that specific dress :)
Everyone admired her in the dress.
I was so thankful that she had lent it to me, not only was it beautiful but it would also save me the trouble of searching shops for a dress and then having to buy it - they are so pricey!

On Saturday morning I was quite excited :P :)
What girl wouldn't be for their first ball?
I woke up early and checked that I had everything for the night.
I had a hair appointment booked at Hermanas for 2.15pm, so my parents just dropped my off there while they went on to do their shopping.
My hair was curled, it looked GREAT!!!
I wish my hair was always that curly...
By 3pm I was finished and Richard and George picked me up.
Till 6pm, which is when we decided to get ready after having a quick dinner, I had to try sit still to not ruin my lovely new curls.
It was harder than you think :)
It didn't take us long to get ready, I took a bit longer than Richard because of my make-up :)
At 7.20pm we left, getting a ride from George :)
Outside the auditorium was a BRIIIIIGHT light shining at us, just so that the teachers could inspect our clothing!
From the auditorium to the end of the library was lined with black plastic, so we couldn't escape!
Inside you could not even recognize the building, it had changed completely!
Where the seating usually is was a huge band set up at the bottom, and on top was a 'deck' with seating on the sides.
There was a huge dragon hanging down from the ceiling, it was right in the middle.
The whole wall was covered in a pretty curtain, and in the end corner were some skulls and a passage leading off to the drama rooms where the photos were being taken.
It was beautifully decorated!
The drama rooms were also done great!
They had to different sets where you could get your photo's taken. One standing with posts on each side of you with a black background and another where you are sitting on a lovely bench with colourful pebbles scattered on the ground, with a white sheet at a background.
Now onto the food. It was in the library, and again you would not have recognized that it was the library.
They had black curtains around the walls covering all the books and a "mystical" sculpture at the entrance.
They also had seating in one end of the library and tables covered in food on the other side.
There was soooooooo much food there, it was delicious!
I especially loved the strawberries and green grapes that were coated in chocolate :)
The whole evening was wonderful!
Heidi dragged Fiona and I away to get some photos taken without the guys.
We ended up waiting in line for such a long time.
Richard and others started looking for us, wondering why we had 'ditched' them.
We caught up with them 30mins later by the food!
I had a lot of fun dancing with Richard, even though we both were hopeless :)
The band playing was fantastic, they played a lot of great songs throughout the whole night.
Everyone that was part in the organization of it did an amazing job, I wish I could thank them all!
Midnight came around too fast!
I was wishing that it wouldn't end.

George was so kind to come and pick us up.
Poor him. I was trying to imagine myself sleeping and then having to force myself out of bed at that time.
When we got home Gypsy woke the whole house up with her insane barking.
Jolanda went to bed nearly straight away again, and George went too.
But we were up for a bit talking till about 2 or 3am when we decided to sleep.

I write too much I know, the good thing is that I don't really mind if no one reads my blogs.
I just write it now mainly for Olivia and myself.
Its nice to just let everything out!

In the next post I will have to write about the SB Ball!!!

HUUUUGE update of holiday...

2009-08-26T01:28:00.000-07:00

Micheal, Olivia, Me and Richard 13/07/09

If you have light, and nothing is dark, then light will be everywhere, as a lamp shines brightly on you - Luke 11.36

I have been meaning to update my blog since the end of the school holidays, but I just didn't manage to get around to it.
This blog is probably going to be looooong and boring, but I thought I would write it anyways just as a reminder to me.
I suppose I'll start with the week away at Mahinepua bay.
We left on Friday 10th July to Mahinepua bay, our car is jam packed with food, utensils, clothes etc...
Jolanda (Richard's Mum) and my Mum spent HOURS planning everything that we need to take for this 7 day trip (and even a list of every meal that we will have).
I don't know how we managed to all fit into the car, bags on stuff pilled on Mum, Luca and me.
We ended up meeting with Richard and his parents in town and unloading me with them. I was glad, I had next to no room in the car.
My parents went of to meet someone, and I went back with the Altorfers to help them pack all their gear into the car. That wasn't such a big problem, they strapped a few things onto the roof of their Holden and managed to get everything else into the boot of the car. Only a few things were pilled on our legs this time a.k.a Gypsy...she keeped walking on Richard and my legs...we ended up giving her to Mike for holding the manderins :)
It seemed like a long trip on the way down there, we were all happy when we finally got to the batch.
But dreading uppacking everything, although in the end it didn't take as long as we'd expected.
Isabel and Monika came over with a friend to see where we were. We played a game of hide and seek on the beach. It was fun! Izzy and I hid in some WET long grass on the beach. Richard was seeking, and it was ages before he spotted us. They had to walk right down the end of the beach before they actually found us :)
That night, we had pizza for dinner. Richard and I made it. A seafood pizza which I made, and a MEAT LOVERS which Richard made.
They both were sooooooooooooooooooooooo yum! :)
On the saturday it was bad weather, a storm was forcasted, and we got exactly that.
Strong gusty winds, and rain. We had a power cut at around 4pm
Just as we were preparing to have Raclette :(
We were all very disappointed, as we were all hungry and super looking forward having it.
As much as we hoped, the power didn't come on again till after 2 am. The funny thing was that the phone was still working even though there was no power. We got a call from the owner of the batch telling us that there was a lamp on top of the fridge and how to use it etc...
The ring of the phone is quite creepy, it sounded so old.....
The parents decided to go early to bed, but us 'kids' had quite a bit of fun in the end.
At first Luca and Michael were just playing around with cards...and Richard and I were just lying on the bay window - which we dominated for the whole week!!! :)
We then started playing statues with my iPod music. It was a good thing that I brought the speakers in the end :)
We did a whole lot of other funny games, telling funny stories, playing guitar etc....
I think it was after midnight before I decided to go to bed.
The next day the weather was better but still rain clouds covered the sky.
There was so much seaweed on the beach, you could see how high the water went. Way up passed the the grass. Even a bit onto the tiny road.
We spent most of the day inside again, it was too cold to be outside in the wind.
We played a lot of card games....mainly poker :) it was fun!
Richard and I DOMINATED the bay window. We were always sitting or lying there, sometimes the other guys decided to sit with us too :)
That night we again had a power cut, but this time we were smart enough to eat dinner ***RACLETTE***
before it happened. We had a feeling that it might :P
Luca and Michael decided it would be fun to play with my make-up, which in the end was HILARIOUS!!!
Luca with a mono brow, dark emo eyes, and s mustache. Michael with mono brow, black eye and "beauty" spot. Richard with just eye-liner on and a failed attempt of Richard putting eye-liner on me :P :)
HAHAHA I have to include what Michael said about this, "You girls get to do this everyday, and it's SO much fun!" :)
We all couldn't control our laughter. It was SO funny!!!
On Monday Olivia came over.
It was such a beautiful day, she brought us the sun!!! :)
We walked on the beach.
Played some poker, truth or dare games
We made some GORGEOUS photos of us all on the beach, and up on the hill.
Plus a funny video of Micheal revealing that he is gay! (just joking - it was a dare)
And another video of Luca and Richard on the hill that they are also gay, but their video wasn't as funny as Mike's :)
We had a GREAT day together!
Tuesday to Thursday we did most of the same things.
We went for walks on the beach
Played with Gypsy.
Played games.
Just talked.
Dominating bay window :)
Etc...
One night, we watched this odd show called "Taboo"
It was a series, and in this episode they were talking about things people do to explress their love for on another person or thing.
On cuts his gf somewhere and sucks her blood *shivers*
Some get their teeth shaped into fangs like vampires.
Some get their partner's hand tatooed and engraved onto their chest.
And there were many other creepy things....
On Thurday morning George and Dad went off to the farm because they got a call that one of their calfs is sick.
Dad returned and George stayed home looking after it. It made a full recovery in the end which was great!
On Friday we all had one last looooooooong walk on the beach before we packed our bags and headed off home.
It was such a great trip, I think we all wished that we could have stayed longer.
Finally I've finished talking about the holiday, but I still need and want to write about the KKHS ball and SB ball.
In my next post :)
Sorry about this post being SUUUUUPPER long. I doubt anyone of you guys (except maybe Olivia :) ) will actually read all my crap right to the end ;) :)

Glad that is finally happening
It is going to be a LOT of fun!

We're going to have a lot of fun
Going to have to take HEAPS of cool photos

Yesterday...

2009-07-09T01:54:00.000-07:00

Yesterday my family went down to Whangarei
We meet up with Richard's family outside Farmers
And I saw Hilary's mum with Emily
I was quite bummed that I didn't see Hilary either :(
Oh well....another time :)

So Luca bought a jacket and a pair of jeans in farmers, and the jeans were exactly the same ones that Mike bought
They MATCH now :) LOL
After that, Jolanda (along with the shop assistant) helped me pick out a LOVELY pair of jeans in Jeanswest
Turns out I'm a size 9....who would have guessed?! LOL
I felt like such a puppet.
They kept bringing me different pairs to try on
And Richard, Mike and Luca were just watching
Until Richard was forced to try on some jeans too :)
It was still fun anyway.
And now I have a COOL new pair of jeans :D yay!

Afterwards we just walked over to the shoe shop,
While Mike and Luca went off to a EB Games shop.
They are such kids! :)
Jolanda was again helping me pick out a pair of shoes for the ball
After trying on SOOOOOOOO many pairs
We found a perfect pair.
They are simple yet elegant (and comfortable!)
And I can wear them with other outfits too.
Then it was Richards turn to try on shoes.
He took longer than me!
But finally found a good pair :)

We then all meet up for lunch
We had a LOVELY meal at a Thai restaurant
It was sooooooooo nice!
Luca had bought a fake mustache and Cigar from the $2 shop
The Cigar looked quite real, but the mustache didn't suit him at all
It was black and didn't match with the blonde hair.
It still looked funny
We all had a try of it :)
Got some funny photo's but good memories!

Us "kids" then went off to the cinema
Mike and Luca were desperately trying to think of ideas that could get them into Bruno
Since it was rated 16 and you needed photo I.D
But couldn't come up with anything good enough.
So they just stayed with Transformer's 2
While Richard and I decided to watch Ice Age 3
I loved the movie :)
I can't actually decide what my favourite character is, it is a tie between Scrat and Sid
Both are SOOOOOOO cute!!!
It was really nice!!!

Ice Age 3 ended 45 minutes earlier than Transformer's 2
So Richard and I just walked around a bit
And later meet our parents in Pack & Save with 2 trolley's FULL!!!
That was ALL just for our week up in a batch LOL
Ugh and packing it into our car's was terror!
There was sooooooooooo much stuff
But we managed finally :)

Sadly, we had to then pick up Mike and Luca
Their movie only just finished
And we picked up George by the cinema too.
Luca was riding in their car, and Richard in ours till Kawakawa
That was fun! :P
We were just listening to my iPod
It's a good thing that we like nearly the same music
I felt like falling asleep in the car LOL
His shoulder is quite comfortable :P
The trip to Kawakawa went quite fast if you ask me
Sadly had to trade him for annoying Luca
LOL
It was a really nice day!
And now I'm finally done [YAY!]

What Animal Were You In a Past Life?

Plans...

2009-07-06T18:53:00.000-07:00

You know, i'm starting to really like this blog.
It's quite fun.
Well....when you have something interesting to write about LOL

So anyways today i didn't have anything special planned.
I cleaned my room.
I swear, my room has never been THIS clean LOL.
It took me FOREVER ugh.
Glad i'm finally finished!
Also after i've finished typing this, I think i'll go play the piano.
I need to do more practice, but won't get the chance to much these holidays.
Sadly, I don't think I can take my piano up to the batch on Friday...

Tomorrow i'm going to Whangarei with my family and Richards too.
We're mainly going because we both need shoes for the ball LOL
I'm quite excited, I get to go to two ball with awesome people :)
Ugh an hour long drive sitting next to my brother, how fun will that be?!
That is the only thing i'm not looking forward to.
Us "kids" may go see a movie. If Michael and Luca have their say it will be Transformers.
I want to see Ice Age 3...It looks cute :)

Thursday is just a free day that i'll have to dedicate to finishing all that stupid homework.
Why do the teachers torture us?
Holidays are supposed to be relaxing and school FREE!!!
Whatever....

On Friday my family and Richard's are off to Mahinepua for a week
YAY!!!
I can't wait
It is going to be soooooooooooo much fun!
Seven days just out in a beautiful area
Right by the water
I hope the weather decides to stay nice, just for us :)
Also I can't wait to see Olivia :)
We really needed to catch up, and now we have the perfect opportunity to do just that
YAY!!!
These holidays are already off to a GREAT start!

I think i've written more than enough, once again :P

Yesterday I went with my family and Richards family to Mahinepua to see the batch we are renting for a week.
It was LOVELY!!!!
A lady called Vicky came and gave us a tour of the house.
Sadly, I have to share a room with my brother.
That is one thing i'm not really looking forward to.
I absolutely love Vicky's dog.
It's a 12 week old, black Labrador.
It is sooooooo adorable!!!
Also Richard's dog Chipsy is cute!
She loved the car ride to Mahinepua :)
Apparently it is the first time in years that she has gone anywhere in the car.
Not including the trip to the vet.
The house is really nice.
I'm looking forward to staying there this Friday :)
It has two parts to it.
One is just a bedroom that sleeps four people.
And has a bathroom too.
The other part of the house has two bedrooms, each sleeping two people.
This means i'm lucky enough to share with my lovely brother [save me!]
The beach outside is gorgeous!
I can imagine myself spending all my time just walking up and down it, taking HEAPS of photos.
Hopefully it will be lovely weather!
Anyways, after getting a tour of the little batch...
We went to Manganui to get lunch.
I like the fish, but not its batter.
It's awful and makes me feel sick!
Oh well.
Michael, Richard, Luca and me played a odd version of spin the bottle.
We were asking it lots of random questions like "Who will be the next Michael Jackson?" which is Luca.
And according to the bottle, I will die when i'm 20, yet i'll become a cripple when i'm 100.
How does that work?!?! LOL
Our parents needed to organise what we need, and who brings what.
So it was the perfect opportunity to relax :)
While Michael seemed busy playing his Xbox....
Richard and I had a LOT of fun annoying Luca.
But he did get annoying after a while.
He was always kicking, punching, and sitting on us.
Then he said he wanted some kisses :P
So he got some from Richard on his cheeks :)
It was so funny to watch.
In the end Luca wiped his cheek on Michaels bed.
It was a really good day!
Even if it did rain a bit in between.
Um...
Now I wonder if anyone will actually read this whole post right till the end.
Anyone who does is GREAT!!!
LOL
I'm FINALLY done :)

Update

2009-07-05T02:45:00.000-07:00

It has been a while since I've updated my blog.
So this post is going be random and make no sense.
Um...
My driving is improving. The last time I went for a drive I went ALL the way down to long beach and up Oneroa Rd, down Robinson Rd, up by Russell school and then back home.
It was SOOOOOOOO much fun! :)
On tuesday the 23rd there was no school [YAY!]
It was a teacher only day.
The day after, i officially go out with Richard.
The following tuesday (30/06/09) sadly I had to say my speech again, but this time it was in front of my form class. Which I find is even worse!
But I survived it thankfully :)
On wednesday I had a science test [physics] last period and catch up lesson with Barry from 4.30 - 6pm
The test I thought went awfully, but it turns out I did quite well!
I got merit and was one excellence question away from getting excellence.
Now piano.
That was interesting.
It was actually quite a good lesson.
Which surprised me.
On friday (3/07/09) it's the last day of Term 2 [YAY!!!]
We had a pretty lazy day.
There was a careers exhibit in the auditorium which was very interesting.
I some sort of information sheet from every stand.
I have a huge collection now LOL
We also got our half year reports.
Mine was pretty good.
Every teacher had some sort of comment that I was a such quiet girl in class.
But overall it was good.
Now i'm glad the holidays have FINALLY arrived.
And I think i've written more than enough to make OLIVIA happy :P :)
xoxo

2009-06-21T01:46:00.001-07:00

So today I went for my first drive...after having my license for around 5months now :P
I drove down on Long beach road at around 5pm and I LOVED it :)
I drove the Honda.
I drove up and down the road 6 times.
People on the beach and in their houses were looking at me weirdly.
But overall, it was a LOT of fun!
I'm think I'll go for another drive tomorrow afternoon.
And now I don't know what to write.
Uh...
Uh...
