Perth was fun la though it could have been better. pictures not uploaded, come and get from me! xD

Perth - Day 1

gathered at the airport and off we flew to perth! heh played spastic games on the plane

Day 2

ok being 4i reg no. 2, i was grouped with 4g and h people together with 2 of my other classmates. so we went to icy creek, our camp site and played some games to get to know each other. our instructors were bonnie and georgie and they were very very thoughtful! =)

throughout the whole camp group 4 was divided, most of the times 3 of us being left out. lunch was raw... not very nice honestly >< then we did flying fox. it was quite different because everyone else in the group pulls someone up for him to glide down. then i saw the first person glide down it was chao slow la i was like laughing like hell hahaha

so when it was my turn i was pulled up then the guy at the top carried me up and accidentally zham my specs off. ha so i couldn't really see. according to that guy, he said for more excitement, don't grab onto anything and then take a step down. woa chao scary la like jumping off a building. i guess when i wanna commit suicide i'll just take poison.

after that was free time. chao slack la 2 hours free time to dinner. being too tired we took a nap lol. dinner was er... not very good too. rice was uncooked and everyone was spamming sauces to give the food taste. ha but camp ma.. its like that.

listened to some stories from bonnie about animals in australia before sleeping. there was this drop bear that will suddenly jump from a tree on your head and scratch you until you die la. hah chao funny la! i was like laughing at how a bear can drop onto someone's head and meng scratch.. chao cute la! but it was quite serious la, bonnie's father almost got killed by it once!

stargazing but couldn't see any stars, maybe a rain would fall later and it really did! our basha tent was on a slope la, so the water just came in non stop. i was supposed to sleep outside but due to some reasons switched places. then our instructors were so nice that they got us out of the tents and took us to a rotunda! a shelter with a warm and cosy fire! they were so kind la still help us dry our sleeping bags and gave us hot milo and cookies. wa other groups were still drenched in their tents xD

Day 3

woke up and had cereal for breakfast, then went canoeing! 2 to a canoe, so i volunteered to canoe with another guy, though now i regret it. it was chao cold la, only wear one layer and the water was extremely cold! together with the wind... can freeze people >< ha canoed for some time la... through the rocks and rapids, ha chao fun la sometimes got stuck or crashed by other canoes. it was so cold and they still splashed water at us!

washed up and had the same lunch >< after that we did navigation! haha i'm chao proud of my group cos we completed all the stations by ourselves! other groups either didn't complete, or got lost, or had the help of instructors! ha we had to walk through the forests and rivers then there was this station right at the top of a very very steep and high hill and we were like getting ourselves hurt while climbing up la, but we managed to complete it :D

we also crossed a river walking on lemon grass! ha the grass was rather hardy and strong and could hold our weights while we stepped on it to cross heh so interesting

then we were supposed to do low elements next but requested for a soccer match instead, and the instructors were kind enough to let us play! wahaha i scored 1 of the 2 goals leh xD ha we also played touch rugby! chao fun la everyone were fighting for the ball and anyhow kicking it!

had an aussie bbq dinner, and it was nice la xD we then went for a night walk without torches! haha the moon was chao bright but we could barely see where we're going... chao scary la... got drop bears! we found a spot to lay down and stargaze. the moon and stars are so so so beautiful :) i've never seen it in singapore! and i was very reluctant to go back to the tent even when it was really really cold!

Day 4

played some team games before leaving the camp site. ha can't bear to part. went to sizzler to have lunch, ha quite nice, their buffet style different from that of singapore's. the main course cannot have second servings xD

next we went to raeburn orchard. the fruits there are chao big la! very tempted to pick but cannot. and those on the ground are poisoned to fasten their decomposition to make the land fertile. took some pictures then went to the shop and tasted the fruits... damn fresh and juicy, especially the apples! ha but i didn't buy cos i think i would have problems taking back home! instead i bought nougats xD

ha that was basically the end of the day and we checked into the hotel. had another barbeque dinner. then went out with some friends, walked on the streets to look for a supermarket. ha the shops there close very early and it was really hard to buy anything. after walking so long we asked someone for directions to the supermarket when the supermarket was like just beside us but we didn't realise it! chao malu la hahaha. and actually the supermarket and most shops in australia are owned by asians! alot of singaporeans there too heh i didn't know that xD the things were a little more ex there so i just bought some gummies! the others all leeched onto chunmeng ><

Slept. too comfortable le the bed xD

Day 5

had breakfast in the hotel before going to Lancelin! ha the deserts there were shiok la the weather and sand was cool and you could take out your shoes and walk on the fine white and cool sand! everyone was like rolling down the sand dunes... chao fun xD we did sandboarding! ha its just getting onto a board and slide down from a huge mountain of sand! heh like a roller coaster ride :D haha junshyang crashed! and the teachers are very pro too ><

then we went for a ride on a big big jeep! woa it rocked la! the music was loud and the seats could bounce! the driver kept turning here and there to make us bounce everywhere! ha the most fun part was when he goes up a sand dune then down we go! hah i love it! xD

then we went to the gravity centre. saw and learnt some physics stuff but most of them are too cheem for me >< there were lots of strange gadgets la... got this magnetic leviation thing with a metal floating around. then someone went to take out the metal and the alarm sounded hahaha. heh besides that not very interesting la, until the art class! ha we were given some symbols and were supposed to use them to create a story and paint it on a small boomerang with lemon grass! ha i couldn't think of any story so just anyhow paint... chao ugly la. but using lemon grass to paint is rather interesting xD

we went to neil hawkins park too! and fed the ducks and swans. haha damn cute la. one of the ducks chao greedy keep eating non-stop! then it would try to peck at your hand too... ouch xD

didn't go out with junshyang and co. because i wanted to stargaze. how sad i didn't.

Day 6

heh i love day 6 the most cos we got to see kangaroos koalas and other animals xD went to caversham wildlife park and saw lots and lots of animals! got kangaroos, koala bears, dingos, kookaburras, wombats, emus and alot! ahha took alot of pictures too xD heh carried a wombat and fed kangaroos! chao cute la the kangaroos especially when they're hopping with baby kangaroos in their pouch! the koalas also but they sleep too much! feed them their favourite gum tree leaves they also don't want to wake up ><

ha then we were driven around perth to see some nice monuments before visiting the morish nut factory. ha the nuts are chao nice la, especially macadamias but very ex! went to kings park next. it's something like a war memorial, and the sceneries there are super nice. took alot alot of photographs! we also watched a dance from the aboriginal tribe. heh didn't really understand it but i could tell they were trying to imitate emus and kangaroos! they used an instrument called didgeridoo made from hollow tree trunks to make funny sounds xD

had the only chinese dinner tonight! ha gonna get sick with all those barbeques and wraps already ><

heh then we took a bus to a shopping centre to shop! woa the billabong is super ex... one t-shirt for about S$70! i wanted one la! haiya. go orchard road buy la heh. i didn't realise i was shopping non-stop! just in one night i spent hundred over xD and it could have been more if they hadn't closed so early! then suddenly when we're about to leave we realised adrian went missing and quickly search the whole mall for him! siao we managed to find him but he was damn pissed la, cos it was the last free night and he still hadn't bought anything yet. haha siao la he warned us not to irritate him... scary. then at the bus stop there were a bunch of people too keep shouting and staring at us... chao scary too ><

Day 7

checked out of hotel and went to tumbulgum farm. ha took a hayride, though it wasn't really fun. then we watched how a dog chased a flock of sheep! ha the dog was very very obedient, did everything the farmer said! chao funny la... the sheeps aren't afraid of lots of humans but they would suddenly all run when they see a dog xD then the sheep chao poor thing, the shearer sheared its wool off... it is actually so small without the wool... ha and must be chao cold la. then we also saw how a cow was milked and how a whip was cracked xD

we went to the fremantle prison. heh there were no prisoners there cos it was closed. ha outside it is actually very grand la, but the cells are really small and i guess prisoners must be very bored cos they drew alot on the walls of their cells hah

more shopping at fremantle market! and i spent another hundred plus >< but hey i didn't buy alot for myself lor! the market is actually like our shopping centre, but it doesn't close at 5 like any other shops, so i bought quite alot of things xD ha liuhao kept saying bad things about the things i wanted to buy to stop me from buying! then the shopkeepers chao angry hahah

had a traditional fish and chips for dinner! yum yum :D

and after that we left for the airport. its over la so sad! i'll miss everything and everyone there that had been so great
Perth rocks xD
