Returning to Malaysia

Hello, it has been a long time since I last wrote, mainly because I had no internet. You see... on the 21st of May I went to Malaysia, the flight took more than 10 hours, so I got a bit tired. When I arrived at the Kuantan Airport, 3 of my uncles, 2 aunties, my grandmother and 2 of my lovely cousins were there to pick us up I rode in the car with my lil cuz and her parents, and then we were off to my house. There I met my cousins and we talked in my room.

On the 30th of May I went to Hong Kong. We went to Ocean Park and in a few more days we're going to Disneyland!!! 

Yay!!!!

Letters

Hey Blog, Yesterday was my last day at school. So that means I'm not going to school today. While at school we were writing letters for our grandparents. But not literally for them, we were pretending that we lived in 1852, and this is what I wrote. (I wrote some others. Not just 1852.)

Christchurch
14th May 1852

Dear Grandmother and Grandfather,

Greetings to you both. How are you? I hope you are both well and enjoying life in London. I am missing my lovely, cozy bed. I wish for you to be here. Without you there is a hole in my heart.

Unfortunately, mother died whilst on the ship. The cold, freezing air made her terribly ill. Thankfully I have John by my side, the trip took more than 3 frightening months. There was tragic death whilst the sea grew wild. I have had sleepless nights without mother. John and I, with luck, made it to New Zealand in one piece.

New Zealand gave us a great welcome. Christchurch had a beautiful scenery. With the blue sky and the mountains happiness struck to me. I knew I would be safe here. I am now staying in a small, wooden cabin with 5 other girls around my age. Since mother's not here, John and I have to live in the orphanage. The people here take very good care of us, fortunately. But sometimes without big brother John, I feel lonely. I miss you both a lot.

With Love,
Victoria Joy Collins

Dear Father,

How are you? I miss you very much. I hope you are safe and well. Mother misses you to. Is it fun in Australia? I wish to be there, but there is a  lot of homework to do. Luckily one of the homework was to write a letter. Like I said I miss you very much.

Love from your daughter,
Nina Smith

Hope you enjoyed it.

11 days to go....

Hi, in 11 more days I'll be going back to Malaysia. It feels pretty weird, now that the day is getting closer. Mainly because I've been living in New Zealand for 3 years and a half. I can't exactly remember my own house in Malaysia!! The house in NZ now is like when we first moved in, no television sadly :(

Yesterday our school went to Ferrymead, it was so fun!! First we dressed up like people in the 1800's, then we walked to the lodge hall. The ladies were wearing bonnets with a dress but 4 of them were wearing a straw hat and a different kind of dress, the gentlemens had a cap and....1800's clothes. Then someone named George Todd started talking, after he stopped we ate morning tea. Then we were sorted out to our groups (I was in group 2) the first activity we did was craft we made candles which we didn't get to finish and I learned how to knit. 2nd we had pretend families. I was in the Smith family we are very poor but are hardworking and work well with each other. In the family there was Mrs Smith, Grandad Smith, Baby Girl,  Son Smith and 2 other daughters. The Collins was the rich family, Mr and Mrs Collins and their 2 servants. There was another family the Helen's, I think that's how you spell it. We had lunch and after that we went to pretend 1800's school. To end the day we rode on a tram.
So long!!

Sunday

HeyBlog! Wuu2? Yesterday my parents and I went to Shirley, The Palms and watched Iron Man 3. It was the best. The last time I went we watched The Hobbit...but it wasn't my kind of movie. After that we went to Kak Aliah's house, and I slept over at her house. We watched The Walking Dead, first episode of the first season and then drifted of to sleep. In the morning (this morning) we watched another movie which was Hoodwinked Too!
Bye, See ya later...

Friday

Yay!! Can't wait to go back home, Malaysia. A part of me wants to stay here in New Zealand, and the other part of me wants to go back to my original home. I was going to have a leaving party with my school Bff's, but I'm not sure I can. My school friends don't know that I have a blog, so I thought that I might introduce them to my blog so they can well...read. Oh, and maybe my teachers, but I have to write good LOL. I have lots of ideas for my room it's going to be light purple, my bed...violet and, well technically my bedroom's purple with other colours close to purple, except pink. My study room/library is blue, the wall Aqua-blue. I'm gonna miss my NZ friends so much. Thanks For Reading

Malay Writting

Hey Viewers, this story is going to be written in Malay. So good luck to me!!


"Aaahhh! Mengapa? Mengapa?" Menangis Timothy "Takpa sayang, takpa!" Kata jururawat Liz "Tetapi anda akan okay di ...... (Batuk) Rumah Anak Yatim?" Tim menjerit "TIDAK! NO! NO!" Cerita ini bermula dengan kematian Puan Mills, ibu Timothy. Sekarang ... Dia tidak mempunyai ibu bapa. Bapanya telah meninggal dunia 2 tahun lepas di perang. Dan kehidupan Timothy telah dipenuhi dengan kesedihan yang tidak menyenangkan, dia tidak pernah merasakan kebahagiaan, Puan Mills sentiasa terlalu sibuk untuk mengajar, dan tidak pernah mempunyai masa untuk 'Mousey' (yang adalah apa yang seluruh bandar memanggilnya.)
Tim tidak pernah pergi ke sekolah atau bertemu kanak-kanak lain, ini kerana ibunya tidak mampu sekolah dan Tim adalah satu-satunya kanak-kanak di bandar... Sekarang dia akan bertemu dengan berpuluh-puluh anak-anak di rumah anak yatim! Adakah dia akan bersedia? Mudah-mudahan!

.To Be Continued........

Mt Hutt Retreat

Hey BLOG! You see, on Monday the 15th...of April, something exciting was happening...
CAMP!!! There I was on the Senior Court waiting for my name to get called out...to get on the bus. Mr Barrow (My Teacher) was calling the names by the role, my name was called out followed by Tahla's followed by Kim followed by Tan and so on. I grabbed my daypack and walked (not) to the bus, Tan had saved me a seat, so I...well sat down. I sat impatiently waiting for everybody to get on the bus, Finally everybody got on the bus and we departed to Mt Hutt Retreat. It was an absolutely long ride! Maybe nearly about a 3 hour ride. Finally we arrived, first we were introduced to our cabins. The beds were triple bunk beds, I would be sleeping at the top closest to the door, with Tan underneath me. My cabin buddies were Cinnamon, Kimberley, Tan, Tahla, Scarlett and Bianca. We got ready for our first activity, I was in Group 5, 3 girls Tahla, Tan and me, 4 boys Spencer, Johnie, Nikau and Devonte. Unfortunately 1 of our group member was ill and couldn't come, Mr Barrow picked our bikes and helmets for us. On the way back to the Retreat, I crashed into Nikau with a bike, I had scars, he....a bruise. Abseiling was next it was creepy but fun. 3rd activity was the BEST...Archery, it was boys vs girls with one boy. I managed to hit the target 2 times. So, Yay Me! It was getting cold and the groups were called to the hall. Dinner was nearly ready. The only thing that buged us girls was that we had to sit with the group. For dinner we had Garlic Bread and mince. I didn't eat the mince of course, but the garlic bread was delicious. After dinner we had showers and settled in our cabins. There was a fashion show and our group won so we got chocolates!! Supper was next and then off to bed.

At 6:48 (I checked my watch) I was awake and a few minutes later everybody in the cabin was wide awake except for Tahla. I settled in the bed and waited...7:30 reached Mrs North opened our doors and banged two pans to each other. I was so shocked!! Dressed up and ready The T's and I got to breakfast. I had one scoop of cornflakes with one weetbix and milk. After breakfast we had a cabin inspection Mr B and Mrs N SCORED OUR CABIN...47 points. We scored 35 points for the cabin, the day before, so it was an effort. Frisbee Golf/Team Building started the day. We had to throw the frisbee from the yellow tyre to the white tyre, or maybe the white to the yellow? Secondly we did Low Ropes but we only got to do a few, coz we were called, and I can't remember the rest. We had chicken and garlic bread for dinner and the chicken was halal, for dessert we had vanilla ice cream, fruit salad and a chocolate something. And then we had the camp quiz, 3rd place was the Furious 5 (us) 2nd, Group 1!Yay! (that's their quiz name) and 1st was the group across us. We had supper and then bed. Earlier on in the day we had a Bush Walk.

I woke up early on the last day, since no one was awake I started reading and couldn't seem to stop. As always with the pan or pots, she woke us up. I can't exactly remember what happened, but, i know we had a water slide and i think we did that on the second day. I don't know? So bye blog!
