I have so many things to talk about, but i don't want to bore you, so i'll try to keep it as short as possible.

Sat with Debbie on the plane

Slept for basically the whole journey

Arrived in PERTH!!!

Went to Mcdonalds for breakfast. I realised that i actually do like sausage mcmuffins :)

Went to Crystal Caves and saw how crystals were formed. We went to this really cold, underground cave thing to see the crystals

Saw koalas at the Koala Boardwalk! so cute!!!

Went to King's Park and almost all 51 students rolled down the hill. haha. 

Beef burger+fries for dinner and pancakes and ice cream for dessert :)

FINALLY, we went to Metro Hotel. It was pretty nice, I roomed with debbie and christienne (swimmer). There was a double bed, single bed and another small single bed. Guess who got the small one? (Actually, it wasn't too bad.)

Hmm. The first day part is really long. i'll try to shorten this one even more.

Played tennis with St Hilda's and PLC (Presbyterian Ladies' College) students. The training was... simple. but we played a fun game in the end :)

Had a disgusting lunch of sandwiches with vegetables stuffed into them. The only thing nice about it was the cookie for dessert. and not even cookies. cookie. 

OH AND TODAY WAS THE FUNNIEST THING EVER!!! A girl from St Hilda's asked Nicole what MSG stood for. I think she meant MGS, but she said it wrongly. anyway, nicole thought she really meant MSG, so she was like, "The stuff in cup noodles that makes your hair fall off." HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

After that, me and debbie laughed until my stomach hurt.

oh and we also went to an olympic training centre to see their training facilities. 

then,  we went city shopping. however, it was not as fun as it sounds. we had to go around in groups with the teachers, and all we shopped for were souveniers. nicole bought a magnet that said "sydney". haha :)  i bought a subway cookie :)

then, back to the hotel to sleep.

today was a short day: 

activity- beach games with students, learnt how to play aussie football, went to macadamia nuts farm, shopping again, dinner, back to hotel, ate instant noodles:)

Mini tournament with students, MGS won everything, so in the end the teachers decided to give the trophies to the runners-up. go MGS! i played singles against a girl called Lea. i won 10-8, 10-6 :) (we played by points instead of by games)

Went to Orchard Glory Farm! All the tennis players in one chalet! (Me, debbie, becky, nicole, daryl)

Farm activities! Winery, animal feeding,etc. same as last year.

Sandboarding!!!

BUT we couldn't stand on the boards, because they were afraid that we'd fall. AND the wind was so strong and we couldn't see properly for a while. 

Cosmos centre!! we saw venus, jupiter, and lots of other stars

Left Orchard Glory Farm :(

Worm Shed :P 

Yummy lunch at Kailis Fish and chips

Shopped at FREMANTLE MARKET!! we went to a shop called "cake of soap" and all the soaps are made to look exactly like cake!! so cute! and we watched a busker outside the market. he performed acrobatics and told random jokes while he was performing.

Then, checked-in to metro hotel.

I really want to move on to the family holiday part, so i'll summarize this--

Church

Wildlife Park

Chocolate Factory

Went to Synergy, a playground in king's park

Went to Airport and me, becky and debbie got picked up by my parents and went to the AWESOME HOUSE THAT WE RENTED!!!

The house was supersupersuper nice! This part ripped from sarah's blog: It has 5 bedrooms, 2 refrigerators, a TV room, 4 TVs, 2 jacuzzis, a pool, 2 dining tables, 4 living rooms, a whole shelf of movies arranged in alphabetical order, BUT only 2 bathrooms for 12 people. 

Shopping at oceanview mall! i bought so many things this holiday, i won't even attempt to count and post how many. but even though i bought a lot, sarah still bought more :) haha.

woke up and found out sarah and becky put toothpaste on my face -_-

Fishing! Didn't catch anything :(  becky caught a small fish and used it to catch a sotong! but the sotong got away, and the result? one really gross chewed up fish with only the bones and head left. 

poor guy.

Shopping AGAIN. at lakeside mall. bought nail polish+ more clothes. 

debbie bought a plasma ball ( i'll post a pic later) and thought it was $20, but it turned out to be $40. so, she wanted to return it, but sarah and i didn't want her to return it...

so long story short: i tore up the receipt. 

which i kind of feel bad about now because the plug is australian, so they need to return it or spend more money on an adapter. heh.

watched: Mr and Mrs Smith

We went shopping at harbourtown mall, where i GOT MY PSLE RESULTS!!! carolyn collected my results for me, and smsed me with the results. i'm not going to post my results here, but i'll say that i am... HAPPY! veryveryveryvery happy! :) 

congratulations to all other P6 girls too!

and we had a BBQ! chicken wings, beef, kebabs, corn, sausages... etc. YUMMY!!
