Last Day.


















13th December 2006 Wednesday

This is our last day in Kaikohe, New Zealand. I don't want to go back to Singapore. I've already treat New Zealand as my home. I've made a lot of good friends here. When is time to go, of course I cried. There is a teacher there, Miss Urshla. I stayed in her house for one night cause my host was not back from australia yet. She treat me likeher own daughter and i treat her like my mum too. If I can bring someone back from New Zealand, I will sure bring her back. I miss home, not Singapore but New Zealand.
