I found a new love....THE HAKA! :)
Before I elaborate on this,let me giv u the 411 bout my day.
School was as usual the same.Ms Beighton wasnt arnd so Mr Drew came to take over.So he called me n asks if i was arnd in sch cos it states that i wasnt in sch..meanin..I skipped a couple of classes!WHAT??*gasp* I was in sch..I went fot every class.So he said probably the teachers jst forgot to take the roll..*rolls eyes*.So no detention for me. :D
So it was Chem 1st (yeah!!)*not happy cos its chem,its the ppl in there*
As usual Brice bullied me..he's nice n makes me laugh all the time.We (Sandra,Mattheus,Brice n myself) sat n did the calculations n shit..so yeah..*yawns* but it was fun with them there. :)
Tim n Brice both started sticking their tongues at me cos I said they were faking being sick...yes boys real mature.
Fast forward to free period.I finally talked to that girl in class.Oh there are more guys than us gals..all of them r seriously v childish.*geez*
So this guy came in (outsider) n started playing spitballs.I helping that gal with the crosswords n then the paper flicked.That bloody spitball kena the paper and landed on my table!sick!!
Stupid right..they jst smiled n thought I didnt realise.*puhleezzz la*
The next time..I KENA!!!!fuck it..that guy was targeting another gal but kena me..YUCK!!fuckin saliva on me..my fuckin chest summore.WTF???
I told Hare bout this awhile ago..n he said,"Oh that guy kissed ur chest d". -_-~!*smacks head*doosh*.
What a day..
Oh I havent said this..yest during assembly I finally saw a Haka performence.Fuhyooo!It was awesome.The rugby boys performed it for the rugby teacher that was going away.
There were a couple of cute guys doing the Haka..n lucky me I was very nearby.*giggles*
So now i'm totally in love with the Haka..not cos of the guys but its cos of the whole Haka thingy la.
New Zealand All Blacks do the Haka everytime b4 every game.
I kinda thought it was dumb cos let's say if they dont win then malu only right?Just my thought la.I still love it.Been watchin videos of the Haka since I got back from school. :)
Here's what the song means..the Haka song I mean. :)

Ka mate Ka mate
It is death It is death
Ka ora Ka ora

Tenei Te Tangata Puhuruhuru
This is the hairy man
Nana i tiki mai whakawhiti te ra
Who caused the sun to shine again for me
Upane Upane
Up the ladder Up the ladder
Upane Kaupane
Up to the top
Whiti te ra
The sun shines!
WHAT'S THE HAKA U ASK??
The haka is a war dance. The words are chanted loudly (shouted) in a menacing way accompanied by arm actions and foot stamping. A haka was traditionally performed before charging into battle.
The Maori pronunciation is basically one vowel per syllable, with the vowels having the European rather than English sound. The `wh' is aspirated almost like an `f' (f is good enough for most people).
As for what it all means, about 140 years ago, a particularly notorious warlike chief named Te Rauparaha of the Ngati Toa tribe (based just North of present day Wellington), was being chased by his enemies. He hid in a kumara pit (the local sweet potato, only much better) and waited in the dark for his pursuers to find him. He heard sounds above and thought he was done for when the top of the pit was opened up and sunshine flooded in. He was blinded and struggled to see those about to slay him, when his sight cleared and he instead saw the hairy legs of the local chief who had hid him. Te Rauparaha is said to have jumped from the pit and performed this haka on the spot, so happy was he to have escaped. Undoubtedly, he also had in his mind to do a little
pursuing of his own --- Te Rauparaha being that way inclined was he.
Here are a few vids :)
