MonDay
early in the morning ,.. the whole year 10s were up extremely early to prepare for the busy week .. ate breaky and continued packing .. then around 8 .. brought the veges out from the kitchen fridge and packed them into a box .. everyone was moving fast and excitedly.. well .. bid my roomies goodbye and then headed to the carpark with nard, elena and jessica .. we were sort of lost at first for we cant recognised which bus was ours .. but soon were clear when we saw sussanne and ppl .. load the trailer wit all the food and also the luggages .. our group was about the last bus to leave plc . but it was alright . . here marked the start of our camp .. our journey and our adventure : )
an hour plus in the bus till we reached this supermarket to get milk and stretch our legs
merricks was the place tat we were staying in .. it was the exact same place tat i stayed in during astrocamp .. but this time with different company .. as we were the latest to reached there .. all the bedrooms were taken .. which eventually was a good thing .. so .. 6 ppl : nard , jessica, wendy, joyce, elena and i stayed in a room which was supposingly meant to be oni 4 roomers. .but we took the matress down and laid it on the floor .. there .. 4 of us slept there for the whole week while the other 2 slept on the bed .. first session was snorkelling practice in the pool after informative session on rules and regulations .. geared up with the equipemnt . .. then off we go .. with all sorts of tricks and duck dives.. how to keep ourselves warm and stuff ...went to this jetty place and snorkel for a while .saw some star fishes and sea weeds ... was so cold but i grabbed hold of every possible chance to tan myself.. while waiting for other group .. u can guess wat happened. ..went back when every1 was ready .. when it was our turn to shower.. there wasnt any hot water left.. freaking cold~!! not funny~!! jumpin and shivering throughout the whole shower.. dinner was good .. pasta with sweet potatoes and veges .. : ) new flavour better than the bhse food~! helped to defrost the chicken for the chinese asian cuisine tmr..watched spirited away .. well .. i fell asleep half way through the movie :P cant help it

TUesDay
woke up .. joyce was already preparing pooridge .. as in chinese pooridge~!!i it was leftver from the rice and stuff so she put them toghetr and cooked pooridge ..she's awesome~!! anyway.. we had a short session of water safety which was kinda boring but i guess it would be helpful if accident happened which i really hope it wouldnt. . then they thought us how to wear a life jacket in the water which we already knew how to during swimming lessons .. and the fun bit was climbing into a life raft tat was set up in the pool .. which had a hole ~~!!! .. water kept coming in and we were sorta sinking .. it was great fun staying inside it .. out of the chilling cold water and relaxed there ..but we were wrong ..the coach and teachers kept pouring bucket loads of water into our life raft .. we had forgotten to close the cover~!! we hold on to it really tightly..~! hhee till they stopped .. lunch~!! we had vietnamese wraps .. well .. joyce was the cook again .. we had mihun, prawns, hoisin sauce, lettuce, cucumber, cheese and a few other variety .. we had to dip the wrap thingy into hot water .. when it turned soft and kinda transparent .. open it up and add the filling inc hoi sin sauce.. then wrap them up ,, and EAT~! ..it was really good .. shall get the recipie from joyce and teach mum to make it~!! : ]_ yumm .// .. went sailing after lunch with dishes all cleaned .. it was kinda slow and not really advernturous .. but it was good cos i sailed in a sailing boat~ and i steered it~!!!!!!!! with white sails like the boat in poccahontas .. hehehe .. also .. we "were the crew .. not passengers " i've took heaps of pic there ... weather was kinda cold even though there;s sunlight .. >.< went back to the campsite and helped out with asean dinner group~!! we had fried rice with chicken wings and miso soup .. i contributed to cookin chicken wings and miso soup ~!! watched mcdull at nite.. once again i fell asleep in the middle of the show >.< ..

WeDnEsDay

bacon for breaky in the morning
it made us late and got complained by the scuba group for not cleaning the plates which wasnt true at all for the dirty dishes wasnt ours .. hated the scuba group ppl .. >:P but bacon was awesome and all the cleaning up was all rewarded .. we were praised for effeciecy .. : ) but we were late for scuba diving sessions .. X<
scuba diving
it started with a theory lesson ..then practical ..it was awesome .. but something rather stupid because we oni did it on the 4m pool .. but it was great experience gearing up in the scuba and actually know how to scuba dive.. "equalise the pressure and breathe" .. wanted to try it at the ocean if i have the chance ..
surfing
i reckon surfing rocks ... even though we had oni 2 hrs for surfing throughout the whole thingy .. but surfing rocks~!! i managed to stand up on the board without falling~!! applause for being so smart. . nard was so good~!! our coaches rocks too ... wanna do it again at lagoon~!!! real excitement !!
dinner was good as we ate out and no cooking need to be done .. we went to sorrento even though it was an hour drive as they have the best fish and chips there ... we took away and ate them at the beach .. with such glamourous view!~! 0.0 dun really wanna leave tat place when we were there .. just tat we had to and dun want others to wait for us .. so .. we had to . .. Wweeeeee hhhhhhaaaaaaaaaddddddddd toooooo ,,,......... >.< by the way .. i noticed something rather funny .. whenever we were on the car tralling from places to places .. all the asians who were sitting at front would be doozing off .. sleeping .. as for the aussies .. they would be happily singing to the radio .. : ]

ThUrsDay
we were supposed to snorkel in the morning then play tourist at sorrento .. but then .. due to the wind ..we had to change our plans ... we had to play tourist in the morning .. which scattered my dream of tanning myself~!! >,< .. how could anyone tan in the morning when the sun wasnt as warm in such cold morning~!! we went to Point Leo .. to "beach walk" .. we dint really beach walk iin my group .. we only walked for 100 m .. then sat down ..chat and played charade ... i collected some seashells and drew something on the sand out of boredom and also tot tat it was one of those things tat u do in the beach~! *.* anyway .. after the teachers power walked back .. we resumed our schedule ..play tourist at Flinders .. it was a small town with superb ice cream and lots of gallaries with a splendid op shop .. cheap stuff !! we bot mrs kennedy a present .. : ) she'll be leaving to arab or somewhere there .. so yeah ..
went back and had lunch .. mountain bread was prepared by my group .. easy stuff... yeah .. but not as yummy as watever joyce's group did though .. but still good .. after cleaning up .. inc washing dishes .. went for snorkelling at pope's eyes . a place tat i've been for my lifescience excursion .. was way better than last time as i'd seen more fishes compared to last time .. : ) there were big nice fishes .. : P and lots of marine life thingy .. we had to swim past this bundle of rocks and it was so hard with the tide coming in .. i was like struggling .. worse still when joyce were like pulling my leg.. i was like shit .. let go of my leg .. but after we made it through oni i realised tat her weightbelt had gone loose .. =.=! well .. no wonder .. we also saw a seal .. it swam and dive in with emily and katherine .. i heard it but i cant see it ~!! >.< missed it ~!! anyway .. we went to chinaman's hat again after all the snorkelling .. this time we got to play and swim with seals . but none of the seals wanted to play with us .. plus the weather and the water was like freezin cold .. it was understandable.. :P
at nite it was finally my turn to cook .. actually not cook .. bbq .. :P my group was supposed to but elena did most of the job with mr green .. suz was the main chef.. monica and i were just helping out ..she gave us something to do .. and then she was runnign to bbq and diced the veges and also the salad .. we skewed the capsicum and sweet potatoes to bbq .. was really good tat wendy ate tonnes and kept farting after tat //.. :P so funny how she sprayed deo to cover the smell .. h ehehe .. :P
we had movie every nite .. and well .. i fell asleep almost every nite except this final nite.. no way i'm goin to let myself fall asleep like tat~!! :P

FRidAy
bike riding wasnt as dull as i tot it would be .. it was sorta mt bike riddin .. with all the bumps and all the ups and downs .. damn fun ~!! but kinda scary at first .. well .. i crashed into trees 2 times .. but thankfully no one saw me crashing .. heheh ..or else it would be so embarassing~!! :P took heaps of pic ..
jessica was awesome .. she learnt how to ride a bike in a day~!! applause~!!
lunch was all the left over food .. was great even though they're left over.. mr green and suz cooked bacon and mushrooms for lunch while there was a slight shower delaying the riding .. but it was so yummy~!! dun mind eating camp food forever .. so good~!!!
