Very scary.....

  I remembered that there was two rooms, one with two single beds and another, with one king (or queen?) sized bed.

 

TV... wait, are those instant noodles???

Two single beds

 

    I asked " Claire, do you want to sleep in the "king's room"? I don't want to, i'm scared to sleep there alone..."

She then replied, "Err, no... very scary..."

And then, Crystal said, " you guys are such sissies, I'll sleep there!" and we all laughed.

Yet, at night, she dragged the blanket of her bed to our room (with our help) and slept on the carpeted floor.

"Ah," she said, "i love sleeping on the floor!"

Amazing Race!

   After unpacking, we were all to gather at the lobby. Then, we split up, the Chinese were going to eat at a Chinese Restaurant while the Malays were *ahem* supposed to eat at a malay restaurant, including the teachers. So, as we said goodbye, we then went to, or at least TRIED to go to the restaurant. Our "expert navigator", Mr.Hairil, (who is also my maths teacher) lead us around, and around, and around.... and said      " Where are we?". So... we were lost, hungry and wet (it was raining). Yay. But then Ms.Isda said "Yay! I love getting lost! Its fun, like amazing race.". So in the end, we settled for a halal japanese... er, place. It was quite yummy.

Enjoying our food! I think...

        After we ate,we headed for WoolsWorth, some kind of supermarket, as there was still time. Guess what we bought? Gumballs galore!!!!!! The Chinese watched us enviously as we chewed loudly.

Airplanes, Freezers, Epic-fails and a Beautiful country.

   On the 2nd September, my 35 friends, four teachers and I headed for Australia for an immersion trip. After four days, when we head back to Singapore, we were to write up a blog on our amazing trip. Well, this is ours. (Emylia, Crystal and Claire from team Alpha)

Say cheese....

Airplanes



The beautiful clouds.



   All of us were in the plane, waiting for take-off. It was going to be the first time I was on one, so I was pretty excited. My friend, Crystal Peh, who was sitting next to me in the plane, told me that the starting off the plane ride was really annoying. She said that you would feel "deaf " in the ear. At first, I had no clue what she was talking about, but I could see her point when we took off! But, once we were in the air, it was all going smoothly. I got the window seat (yay!) so I could see the clouds. It was such a breath-taking view.

Freezers
When we landed, we had to go through security, which involves putting our bags on the floor and letting a dog sniff it for any illegal stuff. It was pretty scary because I'm a muslim and not allowed to touch dogs. We weren't allowed to take an pictures there. The moment we walked out of the airport, it felt as if we went in a freezer! The temperature is so different from Singapore! I was surprised to see some Aussies wearing short sleeved shirts and shorts! I then realised that they were already used to the temperature.


  A Beautiful Country 

We left our luggage in the coach and headed for King's Park. It was so beautiful. Most of the plants there had small plaques about them. There is also a memorial, which had the names of all soldiers during the first and second world wars. We walked around the park, marvelling at the flowers and trees. Australia is a beautiful country.

Epic-Fail!





    There, we went into the coach to head for The New Esplanade Hotel. As we carried our luggage in, we saw one of the boys walking straight into the glass door! It was so hilarious,everyone laughed. The boy then turned bright red and walked in. Iffah said to me," Gosh, that was such an epic-fail!!!



  We were allowed to go to our room to relax, and unpack a little.
