This week has been so hot and fun. But fortunately my classroom has air con, haha.
Monday I had no school! So I went jogging . haha thats all.
Tuesday lessons was the best. We we were learning about joints so the gave us a goats leg to dissect, we are suppose to take all the skin and muscle off and reach the joints, but the skin is so difficult to take out with a scalpel; so my friend hold the skin and I hold its flesh and we started pulling. It was quit funny all the girls at that table ran away. (the skin still did not come off)
Wednesday my group had to do fish tank roster, where we are suppose to clean a fish tank, but all the fish tanks were clean except the Axolots tank (they are salamanders) and I was the decorator with another friend; and we decorated it like it was nobody's busyness and its nice.
Today it is SO SO SO HOT! 41 degree Celsius. Terribly HOT man. And today I went for work experience at Pet Magic, a big pet shop with birds to snakes. I was looking after puppies! And I got to bathe them, but got quite wet. And kittens, my gosh they are so irritating, I've got clawed by them and it hurts. And now I hate them, and their poop stinks.
Friday is yet to come.

Today I went to church ya ya ya. I went for the 8.30am service in South Perth Church of Christ. Its a nice church and a nice 15mins walk from me new house. Its a little like SJC, the songs are the same in Singapore and they have breakfast after service, and the give out free fresh baked bread outside the church for everyone to take (and the bread are big). And they have something like JYM but they call it OCF (Overseas Christian Fellowship). Made lots of new friend from OCF today, they are from all around Asia; 5 Malaysia, 1 Korean, 1 Hong Kong, 1 Indonesia and 1 from AFRICA, KENYA. She can speak Swahili, I wanna learn. We went out for lunch after service at the International Food Center along Albany Highway. we ate and talked introducing ourself and finding out the different cultures.
When I was in church sitting down listening to the speaker, I keep thinking that I was sitting beside Clement and Uncle Freddy in E3. Kind of miss you Clement :(
Went home after everything was over. Just walked into my room and sleep, I slept from 12 to 5. I was tired and had nothing else to do, outside was so hot, but I guess its me. hahaha. And that concluded my day.

Hey everyone,just moved to my new house in Como, everything is going well and I have internet here. The new house is in a very good location. Its just 10mins walk to my new church and has 2 bus that will go to my school in 15mins. Isn't that like so cool, that was what mum and I were praying for. And it gets better, now I have Monday and Thursday off; means I only have 3 days of school haha :) I'll miss the 2 dogs at my first house, they are so cute. They can play fetch,but they stink. Mum and dad brought back 1 of my luggage back to Singapore, so I had not enough space in my other luggage. I sat on my luggage just to close it. haha. Anyway I'm glad that I've move to a better environment.
I also loved the way they designed the Africa section of the zoo, it was neat. All the African bush and animals at the background. I got to see Koalas too. Do you know you can't find wild koalas in Perth, they can only be found in the Eastern states of Australia. It took me only the morning to complete the whole zoo. It is a small zoo. Singapore Zoo still my Number 1!

More on road trip
Just before the school started we went on a trip down to Fremantle to go to the flee Market, the things there are really cool. But it was a long journey down; around 2 hours down south of Perth. Then the next day we went down to Rockingham which is also down south of Perth, to see the beaches and dolphins. We drove all the way there when dad said that he would bring me to some where better. Bumbry which is even further down south, real down south. As we drove to Bumbry, we pass by a suburb Mandurah. It is a beautiful place, it looked like Miami houses; real nice. every house had a small boat or a big boat. We took lots of picture there. As soon as we were done in Mandurah we continued down south to Bumbry, passing the Indian Ocean with big blue waves. You can hear the waves crashing into the nice white sandy beach, and the howling of the strong winds.
By the time we reached Bumbry it was around 2.30pm. It was 7 long hours in the car. We went driving around Bumbry to see what was interesting, but there was nothing; all close. And the dolphins just left the beach :(
We only spent half an hour there. It was a waste of time. haha. So we drove back up disappointed, but realized we have not eaten lunch. So we saw the nearest open food stop, Chicken Treat. Horrible horrible place, everything is horrible. Never eat there. We continued driving back up to Perth City which took another 7 long hours. haha. But this time we took a different road. Passing by burnt down scrub land due to the long summer heat. Everything was black, No animals or signs of life.
The next road trip was to my teachers house, she lived in a horse stud; and dad loves horses. So we went up the hills to visit her; dad was excited. We were able to come up close to horses, and my mum fell in love with one horse. haha first time; she kept talking to the horse, thinking the horse can understand her.

2 Weeks have Past
Hey everyone. How are you all doing? I'm doing great here. just ended my first week of school. My class has 24 students, and only 2 boys; including me. haha. But it's ok so far. I need to find a pet shop to do 40 hours of work experience, and its very difficult to find one here. Usually its too far or they don't want me. I also have homework (so fast). I'm learning about Australia's birds, reptiles, fish and my worse subject, anatomy. Its so difficult.
Weather Report: Remember I said how hot it was here, no rain or anything wet. haha, it just rain. And its COLD. It rain the whole entire day, wet wet wet. Dark skys strong cold wind and slippery floor, and my home stays wet dogs.
Church Report: I have finally found a church. Praise God, and its not far from my home and zoo. hehe. This Sunday will be my first time going there. But I'm not sure what denomination it is. I'll just ask them this Sunday.
Animal Report: Finally I've seen Kangaroos, but I saw them in a cemetery. haha. The Kangaroos stay there because people go there to morn and leave flowers, than the roos get to eat the flowers. The whole cemetery was filled with roos. But I still have not seen dolphins, still waiting.
Anger Report: CLAUDIA WHAT HAPPEN TO BUTTER. WHY IS HE DEAD!!! Never mind whats gone is gone. But I think he died a horrible death. 1 week before I left to Aus, my dad and I took Butter out to play; and he ran and ran and fell all the way down to the 1st floor of my house. I guess he had internal injury. Such a painful death. May BUTTER Rest In Peace.
Road Trip Report: Just the other day we went on a down South of Perth. We drove over 9 hours. We wanted to go down to Bumbry to see dolphins but we were too late, they were gone. haha. We stopped at some chicken treat for lunch, hoping it was nice; but it was horrible. Don't ever go there to eat. The worse meal I had. We drove pass the Indian Ocean, with big waves. The ocean is really blue. Then we drove up back to Perth passing burnt down nature reserves due to summer, everything was black. haha, I guess it should be.
Anyway can't type long, its X. I really miss you all. Have fun in Singapore. Love you Claudia. God Bless all of you.
