i'm BAACKKKK!!! ( yes i can hear u groaning manda hahah)

HAPPY 2006 PPL!!!

the nz trip was kwl!! lol and i also made a conclusion:

a dressage whip if not fitted into luggage is actually TOP priority baggage haha!!

yes i finally found the PERFECT dressage whip at the canterbury saddlery and it was CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP toooo!! paid like $15!! lol so then my mum tried to fit it into d luggage but of course i would NEVER allow her to bend *like the lotr ring obsessed guy (i 4got his name... my brain melted in d nz sun u c...) * my preciousssss. in d end carried it w/ my horsie mags i got in hand ( so i wouldn't crush those LOVELY cover pages... of the mags i mean...) lol

at d airport d person at d check-in counter was kinda unsure if i could carry it on board and so she checked w/ security who after a good laugh (humphhhh!!! * glares* ) said that just 2 b sure we should check it in.

so the NICE SIA lady at d counter next door went to get some left over boxes and tape and this sponge/ styrofoam thingy. so d two of them like kinda cut up d box and sponge and like made this make-shift box to fit my whip in. lol i cut up the tape ( which was neon orange and is like super super offical looking-ish. plus it had NEW ZEALND AIRPORT AUTHORITIES printed on it!! soo kwl haha. then we put it in a huge plastic bag and sealed it up w/ more orangey nz aiport tape. then came the fun part!! they like put sooo many priority tags and basically WRAPPED it in "FRAGILE!!!" stickers and i added the "TOP STOW" stickers!! haha it looked REALLY funny lol! then the lady was like "that is d MOST prioritized piece of luggage i have ever seen!!" hahahahaha. lol and it was the 1ST peice of luggage out at the belt too!! haha so kwl!

lol oh yes and i rode twice. western!! 1 word: OUCH!!! both times were hacks or as the kiwi ppl call it trekking. the terrian was quite uneven and all. but it was quite fun...

wahhhhh only 2 more days of hol left here!!! :( then it back to school and stress :S and tests tooo *moan* only good thing is d new school building and d lockers. lol i'm gna put chuckie's pic on d inside of d door! haha
