Perth Day 1

Our first stop in Perth was at Fremantle.Our friendly driver Trevor took us there in a bus.The weather was considered cold compared to Singapore.I think it was about io degrees celsius. We went to the Fremantle Market and bought some things.I wandered aroud with my buddy,Merrilynn and two others(I forgot who was it).There were many shops selling keychains,bags,clothing,pens and many more.I wanted to get some stuff for my friends who didn't come with us on this Perth trip but I ended up not buying anything for them but buying a small little keychain for myself.
Later,we travelled on the bus again but this time,we were heading to the Chocolate Factory. The chocolate there were pretty expensive so I decided not to buy any chocolates but just go around looking at the different kinds of chocolates.All of them looked so delicious that I couldn't help wishing that I had enough money to buy some choolate to eat some.
Next stop,lunch at Sweetlips.It was going to be Fish&Chips!I couldn't wait as I haven't tasted Fish&Chips in years.My buddy,Merrilynn,Wan Lin and Celine sat at a table together and chitchatted for a while before the food came.My mouth formed an O when I saw how big the platter of Fish&Chips were.I think Merrilynn was pretty shocked too as the food in Singapore weren't served that large a platter.There was two pieces of fish and loads of fries.I almost managed to finish my fish.I'm not exactly sure whether I finished the fries or not.The others(Wan Lin, Merrilynn and Celine)gave up about halfway through,leaving me to continue to 'wade' my way through the chips.I think I liked the chips best.There was also drinks provided for us.I drank the lemonade and it was delicious.
After the scrumptious(and big)meal we were going to proceed to the Apricot Acres Fruit Orchard.It's actually considered the Orchard Glory Farm Resort(where we were going to stay for the time being).At the orchard,we saw peach trees and orange trees.Then,we saw how raisins were dried.After that,we could buy apricots,sultanas,raisins or something but then,I decided not to and wandered outside.It was peaceful out there and there was a slight breeze blowing.It was really cooling but some of my friends thought it was cold.
After all thirty of us were here after some of us buying apricots or something we proceeded to the farm to check in then have a rest before dinner.I shared a room with Merrilynn who was my buddy.There was six of us in the chalet and three rooms-two rooms with two singe beds and one room with a Queen size bed.
If I'm not wrong dinner was spaghetti with salad(if you wanted to)and we had ice-cream with peaches for those who wanted them for our dessert.When dinner was over,we had to go back to our chalet to bathe and do our work and reflections.After bathing,the six of us gathered together and did the work together.Merrilynn and I was the last one to go to bed.When the others were already in bed,we were 'stomping around' as we were always forgetting something.First I even forgot to brush my teeth and went stomping around.Then Merrilynn needed to go to the restroom then my troat got itchy and needed to drink then discovered that my bottle had no more water so I had to stomp to the kitchen but finally we got into bed but once in bed I dropped my specs and had to grope in the dark finding my specs.Then,as both of us were pretty much exhausted,we fell asleep.Goodnight!!!
