back in new zealand in a horrible fashion...

screwed up people doing pretty screwed up stuff...
the idea of going back to new zealand was bad enuff, but i had to endure an even emotionally troubling situation once i got to auckland airport...

customs sucks...the last time i went thru there they just checked out my stuff (by stuff i mean food)...this time they had dogs check all my things and the customs took out all my belongings inside my bags...which fyi i spent a whole lot of time putting them into the bags...

sound normal? wait till u hear this...they checked my coffee...yes u heard right...coffee...they had some guys analyse it and guess what they've found out?...my COFFEE had traces of explosives!!!wtf??!!!...not just a little reading...but a very high reading...they immediatley read me my rights..."i had the right for a lwayer...had the right to remain silent...bla...bla..."...whatta? i mean...dont jump to conclucions man...i'm just a student coming back reluctantly from my home country and ur suspecting me of trying to blow up something?...never passed my mind...

instead of the usual half an hour to 1 hour wastage at the customs...i was held for 3++ hours...whata???...my friends who was supposed to pick me up went back to his house thinking that i missed my flight or somthing worse...the customs didnt even let me make a phone call to inform him nor go out for a while to tell him im stuck there....

i was interrogated...i was ask all sorts of questions about my faith and religion and my stuff was checked...each n every 1 of them...if thats not invasion of privacy i dont know what is...they even ask me to open my laptop...thank god its new (hehehehehe) n still doesnt have any kinda "stuff"...not that im a big fan of "stuff" but you know what i mean rite?...they even asked me to give a dna sample or fingerprint so that i can be on their database...am i a criminal now?...but since it was optional...i didnt do it...hell no!!!...i came here against my will...why should i do anything else against my desire only coz they suspect me of some crappy reason...damn!!!...

in the end they did let me go...but i had to repack my own bags...had to answer some questions from the police and had to endure a lifetime of disgust!!!...shit...and its just becoz of my coffee...why dont they just have some hot water and have a sip of the coffee...i can guarantee thats its just coffee...
