About Jee Xuan's lost lock :D

Guess what ? In the end , after i had gone back home , Jee Xuan sms-ed me and do you know what was in there ? It said , Reanne ! I found my luggage lock in my hand-carry bag ! I felt great for her but maybe it was because she was careless that she put the lock in there and forgotten to take out or something . We had a really hard time finding her lock ... Good that she had found her lock ! ( Congratulations to you ) :DDD

The last day in Perth.

On day 5 , THE LAST DAY D: . We woke up a little earlier than the day before , THANKS TO MY ''BEST'' FRIEND , Jee Xuan ! Because of her iPhone's ringtone + her wake up chat / talk , i woke up . I am a person that is very difficult to wake up so long as i am dreaming . Hahaha. I quickly changed into my shirt + jacket + pants . I then packed my PJ into my luggage . As i was re-folding all my '' dirty '' clothings and pants etc.. , Jee Xuan said that she had lost her luggage lock ! She was very very anxious that she shouted , '' Reanne !~ Ze Me Ban ( HOW ) ???? x100000 times . '' I was like telling her to take out all her things in her hand-carry bag and find inside . She did it , however somehow she could not find it . As a good friend and a roommate , my other roommate , Jee Xuan and myself went to find all over the hotel . We searched it UNDER THE BED(S) , on the table , on the chair , in the TOILET etc.. We still could not find it . I then gave up and said , '' Why don't you and the other roommate check in your own luggages since you all packed your luggages near to each other ? '' I told her that as when i was packing my luggage , i moved to a corner , instead of being close to their luggages . I did that also to make sure that i did not put my belongings into the other luggages , not to make mistakes or to make trouble for them . When our teacher knocked on our door , he said were we ready . I actually wanted to tell him that Jee Xuan had lost her lock but she stopped me . In the end , i told . :/ After that we headed for breakfast . We then boarded the coach for the Naragebup Enviroment Centre before going for lunch and HEADING TO THE AIRPORT D:<>

Truthly , i would really miss Perth . Really D: . It has 4 seasons ! Perth have nice weathers and nice people . If we were to reach Singapore , we will have piles of homework to do D: . How i wished that we could stay longer in Perth ..

When we got to the airport , i got the seat and i found out that i was sitting beside one of my roommates ! I was really lucky as my friend (Joh Ann) had to sit beside a boy (I guess) . The plane took off after a while . As it was an afternoon flight , i did not really sleep . We were really up high in the sky that the temperature could go up to -50 degree Celsius ! COOL ISN'T IT ??

I slept shortly after that . But suddenly , my friend tap on my shoulder and say HEY ARE YOU CRYING ??? I felt weird and annoyed so i woke up and said , '' I am sleeping ! Not crying .. '' Out of curiosity , i asked her why . She said that Jee Xuan or someone told her that i wanted to cry because of something ? HAHAHA. Anyways , i'm back to all the normal days again .

Don't worry , i will show you many pictures of me leaving the airport + arriving at the airport later on . Byes . D:

The fourth day in Perth.

On day 4 , we had to wake up by 7.00a.m. . But instead of waking up at 7 , my roommates and i woke up at about 5.30a.m. ! I wanted to sleep again , but i didn't . After washing up , i went to the room to change into track pants and camp t-shirt . However , my friend saw a piece of paper lying on the floor . She (A) went to pick it up and my the other friend (B) take it from her and read it . After reading , we found out that it was from the other room , next to us . They told us to keep quiet for THE REST OF THE MORNING ! I was very angry ! (B) actually wanted to write back to them , but i stopped her , as it wasn't really a good thing to do as we MAY continue to write . So we kept the paper and continued to change and do things . When we went down , (B) forgotten to take her iPhone and (A) needed to refill her water bottle . Thus , we went up again . After we came down , we decided to give the paper to my teacher . For that morning , we had scrambled eggs , bread , bacon , tomatoes (SPECIAL!) - DELICIOUS! ESPECIALLY WITH THOSE TYPE OF SEAWEED or something on it!!!! :DDD - , potatoes and more . After breakfast , our first activity was to visit John Septimus Roe Primary School . They were so much different from the first school ! They all wore the same school uniform . We went there and attended a DANCING WORKSHOP!!!! I LOVE DANCING! :DDD ESPECIALLY K-POPS! HEHHEH. I was looking forward to it . When the workshop was going to end , we split into 2 groups , Coralites and the local students . The local students danced so perfectly ! It was really nice . Finally when it was time for us to dance , we all ran to the back as we were way to shy ! After that , we played the game called '' Dodge ball '' . It was fun ! It was time for our Malay and Chinese dancers to perform for the local students to see . They also performed and it was very special . I love it :D Then , we had our so called '' Lunch'' . We had sandwiches and packets of orange juice . Later , we ate '' KEBAABS '' ! It made me very full . I ate 3/4 of it but could not eat finish the rest of it . That was my first time eating kebaabs . My friends and I (together with some of the teachers) '' played '' . We talked and talked , laughed and laughed . FUN TIME ! :) . The next stop was going to CITY MALL where we had free time to buy whatever things we like , like souvenirs . I bought some food home . Straight after that , we had to change into long pants and shirt + jacket as we would be walking to a Malay food store . I didn't really finish the food as i was having a tummy ache due to gastric i guess . After eating my medicine , i felt better and was ready for jokes and laughter . Too bad that the next day would be the last day in Perth and we will go back to Singapore ... We then went back to the hotel room to shower and do our work . We slept after that as we just lied down on the bed and close our eyes . Not even a second , we were in deep sleep already . I had a gooooooood night sleep . Zzzzzzzzz....Good Night.

The third day in Perth.

On Day 3 , we ate our breadfast. We had Scrambled eggs , Fish fillet , hashbrowns , and baked beans. It was delicious. It was a 2 hour drive from the place where we stayed which was a farm , to a school . Thus , we slept in the bus as we had woken up early that day. We were going to our first school , Anzac Terrace Primary School . In the bus , i also thought how did the students there studied , how did their school look like , etc .


In the bus , our teachers told us not to speak fast like how we speak normally. They also warned us not to speak singlish like ( marh , larh , huh etc ) . I was like oh my gosh , how would i speak then? I usually talk in singlish like many people do. :X On that day , we wore our school uniforms , Girls in their *Beautiful* pinafores , Boys in their shorts and shirts. As we wore that , we were extremely cold! ESPECIALLY ME! I was shivering . I just noticed that their school was soooo much different from ours ! Their school has a BIG field , MANY playgrounds for children from Kindergarden to Year 7 ( Grade 7 ) and is situated at the western end of the Town of Bassendean , own food / lunchbox for recess , and lastly their school was only 1 storey high so their school was quite big . It was really cool and different ! I forgot to add in something , i just noticed too that their school uniforms were short! I was thinking , won't they be cold? After a while , i remembered , oh ya! They were australians and they had got used to the weather there!After that , i continued where i stopped . Our school has half of the size of their field , NOT even A SINGLE playground , we had a canteen where we purchase our food from and our school was 4 storeys high so our school wasn't compared to Anzac Terrace Primary School. Their school is made from brown bricks while ours were made from porcelain. 1 last thing is that , most of the time in Anzac Terrace Primary School was playing sports , while our school is all about studying - studying - studying .


The next activity was at the CAVERSHAM WILDLIFE PARK! I love parks you know. So i looked forward to it. Some of the animals there were , KANGAROO , KOALAS , WOMBATS , TASMANIAN DEVILS , EMUS , DINGO , SHORT BEAKED ECHIDNA , BLACK SWAN and lastly , the LAUGHING KOOKABURRA!

WOW , That is quite a lot of species there! I took some of the pictures of the animals there. I will show you later on.


Oh ya , I've forgotten to tell you about my lunch! Our lunch was a huge burger and many french fries together with a brown or blue - coloured ice drink. Many of us made a name for the drinks : The Brown Drink = Coke
The Blue Drink = Blueberry
I was so unlucky as i took the Blue drink! I wanted the '' coke '' at first but my teacher gave it to my friend , Joh Ann ! I thought that she will give me another cup of the brown drink but instead , she gave me the blue drink! Do you know why i did not like the blue drink? At first , when i tasted the '' blueberry '' drink , it was quite nice BUT , later then i know that my tongue had turned BLUE! IT LOOKED LIKE THE OCEAN BLUE ! OH MY... I WAS VERY EMBARRASSED !
After that , we went to The New Esplanade Hotel to check - in . I stayed at the 5th level with 2 of my friends . They were from the same CCA as me . After checking-in , our teachers asked us to change into long pants / jeans as we were going out to take a long walk . As the night was chilly , we had to cover ourselves up quite a bit . After changing into my jeans , i took out the school uniform together with the shirt , shorts , and pinafore and hung it in the cardboard to prepare for tomorrow's activities . We went down together with the teachers who stayed 1 block opposite us . We walked in our groups , The BLUE group . The rest were also walking in groups . Some of the groups were Red , Blue , White , Black and Yellow . We walked quite a distance before we reached a restaurant selling Malay Food . I thought that i wouldn't like the food in there but i was wrong . When we were eating , we laughed and laughed together with other people as we told jokes and more. Some of the food were RICE , chicken , beef , eggs and more . When i was eating , i took more of the rice as i ahd missed it a lot .
After eating , our teachers brought us to the supermarket to buy somethings . My roommates and i shared our money to buy 2 cup noodles as we can share . We had 3 people to a room , while others were 4 to a room or more . We ate the noodles while doing our project also known as Perth Booklet / Workbook on the UMPCs . We were supposed to sleep at 10.00 pm , but the teachers came quite late to collect the UMPCs so we slept at about 11.00 pm .
That was the end of Day 3.

The second day in Perth.

On Day 2 , the first activity was held at Orchard Glory Farm ! I love going to farms especially this! We had to wirte a poem on one or more animals we saw in the farm! Although i hate writing poems but i still did it. The farms had lots of animals. Some of them were , Sheeps , Horses , Donkeys , Geese and many more. There were fruits there too , most of them were , Oranges , Limes , Lemons , Water Chestnuts and more.

The second activity was also held at the same place. It was being a reporter by writing a short article on sheep shearing. Guess what i wrote? Do you want to take a look? It migh not be up to standard but at least i wrote quite a lot.

The article i wrote was :

SHEEP
SHEARING
Sheeps are sheared once every year. They are sheared as their wool also known as fur can be used to make coats or sweaters and also sold for money. Their fur gives you warmth when you are wearing a type of coat or sweater made from sheep's fur.
After shearing the sheeps, they will look neater and cleaner. After that. the farmers will pack the wool into a huge box and send it to the market. 1 sheep could take at least 2 to 3 minutes to shear if the person is trained. It would take at least 5 hours to shear 100 sheeps!
Awesome right? If you grow up, will you consider to be a sheep shearer? I hope so or not! :D
That's the end of my Article.
After all this , it was the end of Day 2.

The first day in Perth.


On day 1 , the first activity was comparing 2 cities - Perth and Singapore
I took a picture of Perth City Skyline and Singapore Skyline.

After that , the next activity was to see the State War Memorial. We went to Kings Park to see the State War Memorial.

Kings Park is host to the State War Memorial, erected in honour of those Australian Men and Women who served in the war. Every year on ANZAC Day - the day Australian and New Zealand troops landed in Gallipoli - there is a dawn service at the Memorial, followed by a march of past and present troops through the streets of Perth. There are thousands of native trees that have been planted next to the roadsides throughout the park. Each tree has a plaque with a name of a service man or woman who lost their lives whilst carrying out duties in the war.

As in our Perth booklet or Perth Workbook , there were questions in there for us to answer.
Some of them were :

1. Estimate the perimeter of the Pool Of Reflection at the State War Memorial
Answer : 61cm

2. Give 1 reason why you think the State War Memorial is incorporated in Kings Park?
Answer : Many visitors visit Kings Park , as the State War Memorial is placed at the entrance of Kings Park , visitors will see the State War Memorial as they walk into the Park and remember the times of the war . They will also remember the sacrifice of the army.

3. Do you think it is a good idea to have the State War Memorial is incorporated in Kings Park ?
Why/Why not ?
Answer : Yes , i think it is a good idea. Kings Park is visited by many people. As people walk in , they can see the State War Memorial and remember all the past and what they had suffered.

These are all the questions. :D

The next activity was at the Aboriginal Arts Gallery



In the Aboriginal Art Gallery , i saw this picture on the wall. I liked this picture alot as the polka dots were nice and the pattern too.

There is a picture , but we cannot take photos of it as for copyright purposes.

Name : Mountain Devel Lizard
Artist : Gloria Peryarre

I like this painting because the artist cleverly makes use of swirling patterns to represent the rough uneven texture of the skin on the lizards back.

After that , it was the end of Day 1. :D
