Perth Day 5(last day)

Today was our last day in Australia,Perth.I was kind of sad to go but I missed my home.We were going to the Naragebup Environmental Centre.Our breakfast consisted of toast,bacon, potatoes,juice and other stuff.We then boarded the coach after checking out.Naragebup Environmental Centre was really environmental-friendly.Their restrooms even had some kind of device which was,of course,environmental-friendly.They also had chickens there.They also showed us worm-farming.They also kept a skeletons and specimens of animals,reptiles at the touch-and-feel table.We even saw real-live sharks!The sharks were really small.They were kept in a small pool together with some fishes and turtles.We even had a chance to touch snakes and such but I didn't at all.
Then,we had lunch.We went to some kind of family restaurant and ate seafood pizza and potato wedges.Those who were allergic to seafood ate a different kind of pizza.The food there was really yummy.Maybe it was because I hadn't ate pizza for months.
After lunch it was TA TA PERTH.We were going back to Singapore soon.Maybe I'll be back.Maybe I won't.Would I or wouldn't I.Would I..................

Perth Day 4

Today,we were going to the John Septimus Roe Anglican Community School(JSR). We had to wear either our camp T-shirt,house T-shirt,PE T-shirt and track pants or PE shorts.We were going to have a dance lesson there.The instructor was the principal harself.All the student's bags were the same,totally identical.We had to do a warm-up first.I had to do it weirdly as sometimes,I think I'm born with two left feet.Most of us were shy but the shy people still joined in.We then split into groups of 6 or 7-3JSR students and 3 or 4 coralites formed 1 group.We had to be real quick as we had to change our positions during 8 seconds,then for 4 seconds.Later,we split into 2 groups-JSR in 1 group,us coralites in another.We had to dance(as in really dance)to a song.JSR's students went first.Naturally,they were good.When it was our turn,we all ran to the back.
After the trip to JSR,we headed to Kings Park.We ate kabaab for lunch there.We were heading to the Aboriginal Arts Gallery next.We had to complete an activity in our worksheet there.The pictures there were really expensive.Next,to the city malls!Our group(yellow-capped)had to go together.I didn't buy a thing there.
We went to a Malay store for our dinner then went to a souvenir shop to buy,you know,souvenirs.After everyone had finished buying their stuff,we headed back to the hotel to bathe and do our reflections.

Perth Day 3

Today all six of us woke up late.We rushed through everything that we did. However,we didn't need to rush as 3 or 4 groups were extremely late.Our breakfast was the same thing-baked beans,hash browns,scrambled eggs and fish fingers.We were going to Anzac Terrace Primary School after breakfast.The Chinese and Malay dancers(5 in total)were going to perform for Anzac Terrace Primary School.When we got there the teachers started giving us instructions like not to speak too fast and don't say HUH or something like that.The school was only one-storied and they didn't call the classes names or something.They were like called Classroom 17,Classroom14 unlike us,who had Caring,Obedient and so on.
After the 'school trip',we headed for lunch.Lunch was a hamburger and loads or fries with some drinks.After our scrumptious lunch,we headed to the Cavarsham Wildlife Park.We saw dingos,Tasmanian devils,kangaroos and many more.We even got to feed the kangaroos.We also took a picture with a wombat.Now for the GRAND FINALE-the hotel.I shared a room with Merrilynn and Hao Gen on the topmost floor.After the teachers gave us 5 minutes of rest,we assembled together again.We were going to dinner.I was surprised when the teachers brought us to a cafe selling Malay food as I thought we were going to have fries or something.We then headed to a supermarket to buy some food to bring to the John Septimus Roe tomorrow.We got back to the hotel and found out that our bath wasn't working so we had to squat down to bathe.We were going to use the UMPC to do our work but I didn't get to use it.There was some kind of problem.As I could do nothing,I went to sleepWhat a day!
