hoho the FINAL PART: DAYS 7 & 8!
we went to shop before heading off to a river cruise and i saw this:
hm and within 1hour plus, i bought 4 tops, shiying bought 2 i think lol
but i think i sorta did impulse-shopping due to the lack of time to make sane judgements plus shiying saying "it's 10 bucks just buy la!" -. but the clothes there ARE rather cheap, and they're having 50% off kind of sales too lol
while waiting for the cruise....
mr wayn francis and mr don dixon, our two very kind hosts who drove us all around perth!
from left: pam, joanne, me, steph and shiying
on board, it was so cold that joanne and i took cover under her huge jacket
from left, mdm john, miss tiong and mrs phua
it was mind-numbingly boring, so i headed down to play cards
feimiao and tianhui!
evan and matthew, ever so sweet sharing the earpiece haha!
after which we went to the maritime museum, loads of boats, too much time given (they should have given more time for shopping -.) , so we took pics to kill time
shiying and i
shiying and i
shiying says i look like some ghost with the freaky blue tv screen haha
shiying and i
chaoyuan, shiying and i
ok here's the most depressing part of the whole day: old jailhouse
ok here's the most depressing part of the whole day: old jailhouse
at the entrance, oblivious to the horrors within, we smiled and posed
inside, it got cold and dreary and downright depressing
the cells
this cell was painted by a talented, but extremely violent man
punishment. dont want to elaborate but it's horrid enough to make you feel like crying
i didnt take anymore pictures, especially not of the hanging room cos just thinking that people were hanged in there made me feel sick so yeah
was really glad to get out of there anyway
ok HAPPIER stuff: dinner at cicerellos
you place your order, you're given a pager and you collect your food when it beeps!
feimiao trying to hide his chips from yuhui haha
shiying and her $4.50 for two scoops ice-cream. i have no idea why they wanna eat ice-cream in such cold weather
when we got back to the City Beach College for our last night in Perth, there were some hostel kids waiting to meet us =]

we chatted and both sides got to know more about each other's school life and such. they were horrified that we can survive without coffee haha
DAY 8:
shopping for 2 hours was hellish.
think plenty of rushing, walking so fast we're almost running to shops, and end up feeling super exhausted.
and then it hit us that we're gonna go back to singapore. happy cos i'm homesick, yet sad cos it has been such an enjoyable time. not to mention that there's piles of hw awaiting -.
hm so yeah, i think the trip was really worth it, the experiences we got during homestay, school lessons etc, stuff like that are priceless.
and it's at this moment i feel that dhs is really great haha. sure there's mountainloads of stress, but it has its redeeming points lol
------------------
i miss the fresh air
i miss the sunsets
i miss the farms, trent with his pink dyed hair, sitting by the warmth of the burning wood, in the car with the MClean family =]
i miss star-gazing
i miss cereal for breakfast
i miss the fun and vastly different lessons in the school
i miss having fun with everyone, taking pictures, slacking in the hostel
i miss sitting in the bus and seeing the breathtaking scenery
next year, can i go on the exchange trip to Narrogin again pretty please?
pretty pretty please with yoghurt on cereal full of fruits of nuts?
haha
