I'm officially back in Brunei, as of yesterday, 6PM. :) I went from Auckland to Brunei via Brisbane, and guess who I saw at Auckland airport, boarding the same plane as me? Jessica, the girl from Pulau Tiga. Haha. I thought that was weird, until the flight to Brunei came, and I was staring at this guy fiddling around with his bags in the overhead compartment, then I realized it was Leech's mate, Azam. That was even weirder. He must have realized I was staring at him, cause he looked at me, kind of puzzled-looking, then waved. Haha.

And I'm still an 'Underaged Minor', so I didn't have to do anything, really. The airport people took care of filling out the forms and stuff, they even got my bags for me. Hahaha. And by the way, I got the 'heavy' sticker on my suitcase again. :D 22KG.

2 days after I arrived in NZ, we went back to Auckland and I didn't understand why, and my dad told us right then and there that we were going to Rarotonga in the Cook Islands. Unexpected, yeah. Haha. In Raro, we stayed with my stepmother's brother(Uncle George). My stepcousins, if there's such a thing, Uncle George's sons - Matiu and Elroy, surf alot, but Elroy was just suchhh a surfer, by the way he talked and etc. Matiu works in a surf shop, so he's very much branded with Billabong and Quiksilver, and when we were leaving, my brother wanted to exchange his hat with Matiu's, but Matiu didn't want to. :P In the end, he gave Julian and Jordan a hat each, and I was just there, doing God knows what, and he looked at me and said "Do you want a hat too?" and so, yahhh, he went in a looked for one for me. He gave me the one he didn't want to give my brother earlier, and he was like "You get to have the cool one." and I was like, "Yeah." Hahaha. I'm dumb.

So, anyway, I was staying in my stepcousins' room, while they slept in the lounge. And in Raro, they have huge cockroaches, and LOTS of them. So, can you picture this? One night, I was going to sleep, well, trying too, and then I heard the flutter of bugs wings, and I screamed like hell cause I knew it was a cockroach. Hahaha. My stepbrother(Javan) and Julian were sleeping in the lounge as well, and I slept with the bedroom door open, cause the cockroaches scared me, so when I screamed, they were like, "What happened?" And I told them that there was a cockroach on my bed and I didn't want to move, and they asked me to turn on the lights so Javan could rescue me.

The thing with the room was that Matiu broke their lights, so he stuck up some Christmas lights that blink a lot when they're on, just because of the fact that they are Christmas lights. So, due to that fact of the blinkyness, Javan couldn't see the cockroach when the lights flashed off, so one minute it was this: "Where is it?" *blink on* "There!" *spray* *blink off* "Ahhhh" *blink on* "There it is!" *spray* and you get the idea. And it was really funny. After all that, I didn't sleep in that room again, I slept in the room my dad was in, and not just because of the cockroaches, Elroy had a cat, and that freaky cat kept sleeping in my bed at night cause I left the door open, and cats purr hell of a lot. And also, that cat was psycho. It randomly attacked people, so Julian got scratched up because of it.

Other than that, I had a friend called Florence, who was nice enough to hang out with me, and shop, and go to the beach. We sunbathed. Haha. I just got sunburnt though.

And there was a guy! A dancer wearing nothing but underpants and grass. Haha. So there were nipples involved. He was in traditional clothing cause we went to a cultural night thing, and he was one of the dancers, and he kept staring at me cause I was sitting in the seat closest to the stage. When the time came for the dancers to pick some people from the audience to go on stage and dance the hula, I thought I'd just busy myself with a drink, but that didn't work cause I felt someone grab my hand, and it was him, and I was just so embarrassed cause hell, I don't know how to hula. When I could finally get back to my chair, I downed a Vodka shot, and that was the end of that.

There was a karaoke party, and you know how karaoke is so cool, so I actually sang a song in front of strangers, doesn't happen, but this time, it did. Haha. The bunch of people in the room were very religious, or as they say "strong in the faith", cause as I think I've mentioned, my dad is one of those people, and guess what song I sang in front of all those precious people? Bohemian Rhapsody. I rock. Haha.

My dad kept telling people how I danced on stage, and sang karaoke just to embarrass me, and Matiu was saying how gutted he felt cause he wasn't there to watch it. Hahaha. He was as surprised as I'd be if I found out I did that.

End of Raro.

We also went to the Bay of Islands, Russel, Cape Reinga and 90 Mile Beach. I went on a waka(which is the Maori traditional canoe) tour, and watched more traditional dances and stuff for free cause my dad is cool.

I bought a cow stuffed animal thing. :) I like cows.

Oh yeah, my dad moved house again, still in the same remote town, but this time he lives on a farm with lots of land and away from prying eyes.

So that was how I spent my holidays: running away from cockroaches, dancing with a half-naked guy, sunbathing, eating ice cream, buying CDs(I found Taking Back Sunday, Funeral For a Friend, Fall Out Boy, The Used, NOFX, Nightwish, etc CDs, too, but I didn't buy them, fucking expensive), listening to Jordan scream his lungs out, and thinking of home and people and cows.

You know how I said my English teacher is leaving Brunei today? Well, she did. The funny thing is, I forgot, and I went to the airport to go pick up my sister. My cousin dropped me off at the departure hall, cause he wanted to go find parking or something, so that means, I had to go through it, then down the stairs to the arrival place. Yeah, well, on my way to the stairs, I saw my classmates, I looked around a little more and I saw my English teacher with tears in her eyes. I went over to say good bye, she gave me a nice hug, and I was gonna tell her my funny story of how I was actually there to get my sister when she said "Thanks for coming to see me off." And I was just like "Yeah." :D Awkward. Then I had to go down. There were a lot of people there, specially to see her off, and it was sweet, and she cried a lot, I heard.

I'm leaving tomorrow, right. My bag isn't 100% packed, I'm still looking for my black shirt. And you know, there are still things I need to wash. Hahaha. I am the queen of last-minuteness.

Feeling: Tired
Listening to: Zombie by The Cranberries

It was World AIDS Day about 20 minutes ago. I just found out. :)

I ended up going to school today, but just to get my result sheet. I passed. HAHA. 11th in my class. I can't remember my results, but on average, the only subject I failed was Add Maths with 46%. I guess it's okay. Just a bit scarey, realizing that now I have to concentrate better cause of O Levels next year. When I had my result sheet already, I meet Jasmine and Zimah on my way down the stairs, and even though my car was waiting for me downstairs, I went with them to find Chris just because she was scared cause she failed.

Teachers are kind of different when they don't teach. I mean, my accounts teacher was hugging me. I don't even know whyyyy. And my English teacher is leaving Brunei today, she gave me a hug too. And now I miss her. Haha. She's a great person, a nice teacher. One of the kind that care about her students. And about my accounts teacher hugging me, it surprised me, cause me, Jas and Zimah were just talking with Chris and then she came along and grabbed me with her left arm, and Chris with her right. There's nothing wrong with hugs though. :P

I think I'm going to let people visit UNauthentic now, even though it's not completely finished. I just thought people are getting tired of waiting. Haha. Yeh. I might do that today.

I watched Sky High just now. It's okay. And I watched Chicken Little on Tuesday when I went to Far's house(We played Twister and did karaoke and played PS, and Twister is tiring if you've got a good game going on, you know), and that is just blah. :)

I haven't packed yet and I'm leaving tomorrow.

I miss someone.

I think there's a lizard in the rubbish bin. The plastic bag is making wrinkly noises, but when I look, I can't see anything cause it's too dark. I don't like lizards. The noises won't stop. I actually put my legs up on the chair so it can't get to me. Hahahaha. \m/
