||PERTH INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT|- 10th March 2007|

I have to say this. We did get out of the plane rather groggily. Especially me. Due to the lack of sleep, i had become weary and groggy. The first stop everyone rushed to (immediately) after landing was the lavatory in the airport. You should have seen the chaotic noise in there! Anyway, i tried my best to follow the crowd to wherever they were headed. We went to the officer and i noticed her scrutinising us while trying to cover it up by tactfully asking irrevelant and childish questions. I thought of her as rather amiable though. She asked us questions like "where are you from?" and "what are you here for?". I wonder if she was thinking we were kidnapped to Perth or something. Anyway, after the usual formalities, we went out of the airport and hopped onto Uncle Phil's BUS. He is really knowledgeable. He knows a lot on the history of Perth and such things. We the had some free time of our own at Perth itself. Fahimah and Cheryl headed of somewhere on their own. Cynthia and I hung out with Enya, Noel, Erica and Genn. We bought hot chocolate with yummy marshmallow's at this place called Gina's. It was great but cost AUS$4. I found it worth it though.

This is that wonderful place(:

some graffiti done on the ground that looks amazing!

Yup. Anyway, we headed to some limestone areas and learned a lot of geographical stuff there. One picture that i took there of this coastal region. It looks really picturesque huh?

Nice huh? Yup. Then we had a special history talk on the aboriginal past, where we were told of boomerangs and other intersting things like kangaroo fur. Mr.Jiow even modelled a kangaroo fur in front of us. Hmmm. Amusing. We then saw a "dead" railway track, which looked pretty creative to me.

After a while, we travelled somewhere 5 hours away from Perth. I think it's Fremantle(i'm mixed up with all the places because it's like two months back). I did take a short nap in the coach. Cynthia was taking a really long nap and i was bored to the core. Anyway, there was a toilet break in which Genn went to the shop to purchase batteries and i went to the washroom to wash my face.

We then got back onto the Coach and we went to the wind farm. Over there, it was quite interesting as there were many things we can't see here in Singapore. Some photographs we took there.

After that, we headed to Metro Hospitality Inn. That was where we were going to stay. Somehow, I had bad vibes about that placed but i dismissed it as meer case of weariness. We had dinner there but i did not seem to have an appetite. Especially after tasting just one piece of the pasta, which tasted rather gruelling. Not that i was ungrateful, but it was more because it tasted undercooked.

After that, we were assigned our rooms. Ours was room 52. Room 52's key however, refused to slot into the doorknob! We then realised that we had been given the wrong key. We were then assigned to Room 11 because the key to room 52 was lost. There was something really creepy about room 11 and i felt it really strongly. As Arianna and Cynthia were afraid to open the door, I did it. However, the moment the tip of the key touched the doorknob, i felt strong(and evil) vibes. I instantly took off my hand and we rushed off to find the teacher, as i sensed that sleeping in room 11 was not good.

In the end, we were assigned to Room 32, which was a far better place. Arianna went off to sleep in Mich's room and Cynthia and I were left alone. I read my bible before listening to some songs and after a while, i was fast asleep. The next day......

.......is a whole new story(or post).

with ♥,
