COOL huh, days are super long.
Day 1 [Thurs]: Vomitted three times that day D: was almost the WORST day of my life D: stupid airsickness and stuff. puked everything i tried to eat that day. PLUS fatigue totally caught me lifeless. D: very very bad day. thought that my whole holiday was going to be spent like that. Checked in to The Peninsular service appartment. was too early. anyway at night went to visit my mum's friend. BEAUTIFUL house but missed the BBQ! :'( pracitcally slept on their MASTER BED. D: they were very nice :D and uncle clifford used to be principal of some school. forgot what.
Day 2 [Fri]: WAS WELL! yay(: went to Fremantle :D Ate many fried stuff like fish and chips, seafood platter at cicerello's. haha(: SUPER oily. but not bad :D was finally able to eat something without throwing up :D then we went to the markets! where they sold nice and cheap stuff compared to their malls :D went to some market i don't know it's name and e-shed market. bought a nice cap for ten aussie $. Also bought soap made in shapes of cakes [very pretty] as gifts. ahha:D the exchange rate is 1.3 sing for 1 aussie D: very expensive. At e-shed, bought 12 kangaroo key chains for cca mates :D EXACT amount (: at night went to patronise this super nice Thai restaurant called thai corner where they served very tasty and kai1 wei4 food :D weather was ultra cold. brrrr.
Day 3 [Sat]: Drove for 4+ hours to margaret river. time inclusive of times when we got lost in the car. hahaha. funny. but anyway. our accomodation was BEAUTIFUL. large. designer's house. but it got quite spooky at night. there was this room with super scary chinese blood red bedsheets and lanterns. FREAKY. even my parents wouldn't choose to sleep in that room. so in the end, me my bro and sis slept on one queen size bed. LOL.we reached there quite late to basically we just went to see the shops around there and went to the super markets to buy food to cook dinner. :D ahaha. [this trip we spent many meals at home--home cooked! we all learnt a lot. hahahaha. we had to lay the tables, wash the dishes, dry them, and even help to cook] LOL. but got very xian.
Day 4 [Sun]: went to visit the Jewel cave. WOW. it was super super COOL. really beautiful i tell you. very dark inside but very very cool. i was like W.O.W it made me realise how vast the world was and how much i hadn't known and seen of it. it was really cool. i don't know what they're called but the nice icicle looking things were really mesmerising. they evened formed shapes of birds. and one, [spooky] that looked like a terracotta warrior. but it was beautiful. dumbfounding. awestrucking. wooow. the tour person told us that they found a dead tasmanian tiger [now extinct already] in the cave. cool huh. we went to visit the vineyards, spending like what 10min each, hhoho. it was supposed to be very nice. but my parents weren't wine lovers. and there were thousands of thousand of flies which kept landing on everyone part of your body. EVEN YOUR LIPS. GROSS. you couldn't even pause to take a picture cos the flies would start landing on your face. YUCK.
Day 5 [Mon]: Made another 4+ hour trip back to perth city. didn't really get lost this time though :D so we stayed at another service appartment [saville]. where we spent three nights :D the rest of the accomodations we spent 2 nights. so it was a walkable distance to the row of shopping malls. discovered a cheap stall, decided to come back next day to buy cos their shops close at like 5.3opm? [xian right]
Day 6 [Tues]: LOL. and guess what. we only patronised ONE stall. which sold many many nice and cheap clothes compared to spore which ACTUALLY HAD MY SIZE! HOHOHO. i swear i can't find anyway clothes in s'pore even if i shop for like 2 days straight. so i was super happy and i bought like soooo many clothes. my sister's worse lah. she totally tried everything her eyes set on cos she could wear every single thing. [of course-.-"] After spamming this shop called valley girl, we made our way to harbour town, wherer they sold all the cheap clothes cos they were factory outlets. :D hahaaha. the things were really cheap there. like 50% discount and stuff. there was esprit, nike, addidas, billabong,roxy etc. haha:D bought clothes here again! :D
Day 7 [Wed]: HAHA. this day was xian. cos there was already nothing left to do. we were saying this day is one day too many. should have cut our holiday short by one day. haha. so this day we decided to drive back to Fremantle where we ate cicerello's again (: took many pictures. :D then we didn't know what to do so we went back to harbour town again, LOL. bought a dress/top at esprit then made way back. ate dinner at the thai corner again! cos it was way too nice :D
Day 8 [Thurs]: LOL. sat the plane. xian. took motion sickness pills. was QUITE okay. but still felt like vomitting towards the end. didn't though. but still felt crappy. and here i am! :D replying the thousands of emails spammed by everyone. about class tee, om outing, psl camp etc. SIGH.
