Day 2





I did not knew that i would be living in such a big house until i reached there the day before. I actually thought that i was only going to live in a small apartment! That night was really a very cold night for me. My friends were freezing too. We wore super thick clothes that night. I was living under a same room as Wan Lin, Reanne and Jee Xuan. I was sleeping with Wan Lin in the same room and Jee Xuan was sleeping in the same room as Reanne. Luckily, there was an electric blanket installed under the blanket to keep us warm or else i think that i will freeze to death! The next morning we had to wake up for about 7am in the morning as our breakfast was at 8am in the morning, but right after the next split second when came out of bed, i was again going BRR! I had really wished that i could carry the electric blanket with me where ever i go. Finally, i decided to quickly changed into my super thick clothes in the heater bathroom. At least in there i did not have to say BRR again! After changing, i realised that i was the last one to change. When i was about to go out to the living room to have some water, my friends shouted at me, :Sandra! quick you would not believe this! and honestly i could not believe it as there were some geese(it is to me but i don't know what it is)wadding outside our house! Instead of just standing there i definitely took my camera and took pictures.

Finally, it was breakfast time as i was hungry after taking the pictures. As i went to the hall, i was imagining what would i be eating there. i was hoping it would be something good like McDonalds, or KFC but it definitely wasn't. Anyway the food was nice there.After eating, we immediatedly started on a game, called treasure hunting and making a nest for an egg to prevent it from breaking. [Image] After all the running about, we went for the sheep shearing. It was really fun there as we got to see sheeps being sheared. I learned that sheeps are sheared to make it into coats and sweaters. They are sheared to ensure cleaniness and tidiness.sheeps are sheared every once a year. People must be trained inorder to shear sheeps as it very dangerous as sheeps can bring you harm. A professional can take about 2-3 minutes to shear a sheep. If shearing 100 sheeps you may take about 5 hours to shear them.We went for animal feeding and we feed them with grains. After feeding the animals, we went on a talk on wine bottling.We saw the machines and the barrels. As we were walking back we got to feed the horses with carrots on the way.

Finally, it was dinner time and we got to eat scrumptous food! I seriously think the food tastes nice. But for the fact that we got to eat ice-cream at night was really unbelievable as it was really cold there at Perth, but we were in a room of heater at least. After eating ice-cream, we went out and our teachers started a campfire. We gathered aroung getting as much warmth as i could at the same time remembering how was the weather there in Singapore. haa, such memories...... We were each given a stick to stick our marsmallow but the muslims weren't allowed as the food was not ''halal'' We burnt our marsmallow in the fire before eating it but getting close to the fire was really not an easy thing. After singing a few songs we finally got to go back into our cabin, but definitely still have to do reflections and work. SOO TIRED!!!
