That night, lights off was at 10.30p.m. It was 10.53p.m. We turned off all the lights already, and were lying in bed. However, instead off sleeping,we chatted about school and such. Funny events that happened that day, embarrasing moments... etc. We slept peacefully that night, knowing that the phone would give us a wake up call the next day... Or so I thought.
RING! It rang. Crystal, once again, was the first one to wake up. This time, however, she noticed that it was 7.15a.m.
" Wait," she thought, sleepily," aren't we supposed to gather at 7.30am?" She started placing the pieces together. "Oh, SHOOT!"
She instantly woke us both up, while yelling "We're late! We're late!"
I grunted. "Five more minutes..."
She sighed, "Em, wake up, now!"
I grunted again, but got up, and noticed the time. "Oh, SHOOT!" I shouted.
Claire, who was already tying up her hair, said the famous phrase again. "Oh, SHOOT! We're late!!!"
We hurriedly changed and combed our hair. We barely had time to even grab out coats! We arrived in the lobby at 7.35a.m. Everyone in the lobby was grumbling about the wake up call.

Don't sleep on the floor please...
This time, I didn't let Crystal sleep on the floor. I didn't think that she'd sleep right. So, in the end, we ALL slept in the "king's room". We slept in a horizontal way, so that we'd have more space. Almost all the girls going to Perth slept this way- they were also scared to sleep alone! The only difference is that they slept vertically.

| It's actually quite comfortable... |
So, this is the place...
For dinner, everyone was supposed to eat at the restaurant, you know? The one we were supposed to go yesterday? That's the one.It's not bad, but honestly, everyone prefered the "Singapore Version"....

Spending spree!!!
We then went to Fremantle Weekend Market to buy gifts and such. We were given roughly and hour to shop. We thought that we truly lived by the saying 'shop till we drop'! We felt so tired after shopping that we just wanted to sleep! However, we went to WoolsWorth (once again, if you read our other posts) because the others (the chinese, like Claire and Crystal) haven't been there. The girls of room 408 (us), 506 (Natalie, Iffah,Zhi Shu) and 507 (Celest, Elisa, Camellia) including our teacher, Ms.Wun were planning a "gathering" at our room at 9pm. This resulted in buying A LOT of things at WoolsWorth. We bought instant noodles (halal), gumballs,Pepsi, chewing gum and bubble gum. It was going to be a Gumball party - I mean, gathering! We had so much fun!
Speaking of them, why don't you visit their blog?

Attack!!!!!

| Say fish 'n' Chips! |

| Posing for pictures while waiting for food to come... |
 |
| and more... |
 |
| And more! |
Finally, after what seemed like forever, our food came!!! It looked so delicious! It had a golden-yellow coloured fish fillet with crispy french fries at the side. Take a look!
 |
| Yummmm...... |
Now, you might be wondering why I named this post "attack!!!". It is not because I was trying to attract your attention, or because we are "attacking" the food. It is because of these creatures: Seagulls!
You had to be careful or they would swoop down and grab a fry. It's true! It happened to one of us!

| That evil little bird!!! |

| You can see their footprints on the canvas of the boat! |

After, we met up again (group A,B,C and D) and painted bags, which were made out of recycled materials.
Here are some photos:
After finishing our paintings (finally), we went on a shopping spree nearby!

Worms
After breakfast, we headed down to the Rockingham Regional Environment Centre. After a briefing, we split into two (A and C/ B and D) Group A and D ( which Crystal, Claire And I are in) headed for a walk in the garden. Our guide there, showed us a big can of garbage and said that there are alot of worms in it which will eat up the garbage, to create compost. Some of us were brave enough to touch it while others backed away. Seems like worms have a big appetite!
Herbivores for a day!
Then, the guide showed us a plant. It was lite green and very soft.She said that you could eat it and it is quite salty. Many people looked uncertain, but nevertheless tried it. It was very yummy! It was slightly salty, which is why it is called the saltbush (or something like that...)
Many tasted it!
She showed us another plant, some kind of spinach, and we tasted it too. It was quite good, but personally, i thought the other leaf was better...

| The worm likes jumping about! |

Then, she took us for a tour around the place. Because it was still early spring, the flowers haven't fully bloomed. But, there were a few flowers here and there which looked really pretty.
Here are some of the things we saw during the tour!
 |
| A little green bug on Ms.Isda's finger! |
 |
| Beautiful Lavenders! |
 |
| Compost...smelly... |
 |
| Pretty trees... |
 |
| Walking along a trail... |

 |
| Shakira, nibbling away! |

When we came back from the tour, we met another guide, who surprisingly, has lived in Singapore before, for a couple of years! She then showed us Bobby and Bubbles, a few animals that live in Australia. She even showed us a snake! We were allowed to touch them.

Err, am I supposed to eat this?
When we finally settled down in the Lobby, we headed for the Aroma Cafe. Everyone hastily grabbed a seat with their friends.
The waiters served us a bowl of muesli, yogurt and fruit. Some were picking at it, wondering if it was some kind of rabbit's food. I overheard someone saying "Err, am I supposed to eat this?". Personally, I thought it was quite yummy. After, we ate sandwiches, i think. So, the Muslims had to eat vegetarian :-(. We also had a choice of hot chocolate or orange juice.

Ring,ring.... Hello?
Day 2:
So, we were all sleeping peacefully, enjoying the warmth of the heater, when... RING! the phone rang. Crystal was the first to hear it and dashed to the king's room to pick up the phone. "Hello? Hello,"she said, "anyone there?" ahe asked sleepily, yawning. She then realised that it was a wake up call and of course, woke us up.
We thought we were late and quickly changed, brushed our teeth and tied up our hair. By the time we were ready (as you know, girls take a very long time,) it was almost 7.30am! Claire quickly grabbed the keys before Crystal closed the door. She tried opening it, just in case it wasn't locked, but it opened! The door wouldn't lock! But then, we heard a shuffle of footsteps. It was Sean Keat, Keith and Jing Zhi. We must have looked so pathetic! They told us to lock the door from inside. It worked!
As we went into the lift, they told us that they woke up because of a prank call..... We laughed.
