One Day In HOYTS...

It was one peaceful morning, I was woken up by the choir of birds chirping outside my window. I went to the sofa still half asleep, and I watched the TV without thinking what were doing today. Then a sudden shout from my mother surprised me and I realized that it was my friends birthday and I'm going to Hoyts! So I got dressed as fast as I could and got ready to go. I had to dress up early because I had to pick up my other friend called Seojin. My mum got ready also and ready set off.

We picked up Seojin and arrived at Hoyts. We came early because there was no traffic. We played around the building while mum went home and promising to pick us up soon. Then my friends started to come and I was talking and forgot to buy my ticket and lost the track of time when an adult asked me to buy my ticket. So I thanked her and bought my ticket and also popcorn.

The movie was so hilarious. This Movie was called Mr. Popper's Penguins. He was a business man that was very successful when his father's will came to him. it was a penguin. Popper grab it but as soon as he grabbed it, the penguin pooed on his shoes. So he called the guy who sent it and told him to bring five cargoes to seal it. But the man misheard him and and thought he said bring five times more.

So five more penguins came and he got mad when his children came and asked if he can keep the penguins. So he had to say yes. Slowly Popper stated to like the penguins in his house and at the end, he showed that the animals can love someone even though they have it's favorite meals. So when the movie finished I was sort of smiling (I didn't know why). When I got out of the theatre, I went to play in the game station. It was enjoyable. I played mostly a gun game. But when my mum came I went home with a happy smile.

Here we go to Danhem & Monkey Mia! Day 4

The singing birds woke me up and I was feeling kind of sad. I had to leave this beautiful place which I admired for it's awesomeness. It was time had to head back home. So we left at 7:08am.

 While heading home, we went to Shell Beach. My face then lighted up. It was so cool. The whole beach was covered with, not sand, but shell. Now that was why it is called Shell Beach. It was really alluring. Then we headed off for another beach (the name is too long for me to remember...) But the way going there was blocked so we had to carry on our journey. So long Monkey Mia! I'll be back.

Here we go to Danhem & Monkey Mia! Day 3

The chillness of the morning woke me up and I saw my parents packing things up. I asked where we are going, they replied that we are going back to Perth. It was 7:00am and I also got ready and to go Monkey Mia Resort. In 20 minutes, we arrived there. I was so excited! When I reached there, what I first saw were dolphins. Real live dolphins! We watched dolphins get fed, but only five people were allowed, and I wasn't one of them. When I was finished, we went to the booking office to book our journey on a cruise on the sea. I booked it at 10:30.

At about 10:30am, we aboarded on the cruise. There were also other people on board. The reason I took this boat was that this cruise went to the Pearl Farm. Amazing it was. At the Pearl Farm, a man showed us how they get pearl, how to make an oyster create pearl and more. Then the group of us moved around seeing the Pearl Farm. It wasn't very big but  we all enjoyed it there. Also Pearl Farm was in the middle of the sea! Awesome, isn't it? Also I bought a half pearl necklace as well. That necklace had an oyster shell (only a little), and a half a pearl inside.





                                   (It looks like this)----->





We were finished at the Pearl Farm and started to come back to shore, while we were going, we saw dolphins, turtles, birds and dugongs. Dugongs were fat, I was amazed to see them for the first time of my life! Some kids took pictures and moved around to see closer. Then the captain asked the everyone if someone wants to ride the BOOM Net. I wasn't allowed by my parents so I said no. I also made a new friend called Ryan. He was kind and generous. He was also a little boy aged seven. He seemed cool to me though. Few kids rode the Boom Net and a girl aged 13 gave up first because of the weather. It was winter. Can you imagine how cold it would be in water, in the season winter? It's cold I guarantee.

We arrived at the shore about a half an hour later after the start of Boom Net. I got sick so I went to sleep as soon as I got home. I slept at about 2:30pm. I had a fun time, and a cold time.       Anyway, night night...

When I woke, it was still in the afternoon. At that time I did chess with my dad and went to BBQ. My dad beat me 4 times and I beat him 3 times. Leaving him winning. I went easy on him though. When we were full, we went to the church to pray. I prayed for a period of time.then we went home to get ready to fish.

We arrived at the jetty and tried to catch some squid when we saw heaps coming and tried to catch them but only caught one out of seven. Also, it was a baby. It was so annoying. We tried for another 1 hour but couldn't catch another one. How depressing.

We came back home showed our mum what we caught and I straight went to sleep because I was so~ tired.          See ya tomorrow.......


Here we go to Danhem & Monkeymia! Day 2

The pain woke my silence as I started my day with a moan. I felt a great pain in my head. I took medicine but threw up right after. After I vomited, we soon found out that I had a digestive system error. So I felt sick all day. All I did was sleep, eat, moan, drink and cool my head down when my father brings me a wet towel.
So there isn't much a story in Day 2.        Sorry.....

Here we go to Danhem & Monkeymia! Day 1

Even before the rooster crowed to signal the start of a new morning, I was woken up by my father. It was about 6:30am. Then I remembered it was the day for my family to go on a camping adventure to Monkeymia. So we got all ready and headed to our destination. But there was also an obstacle that we had to go through, that was the tedious driving time. We had to drive at least 12 hours to reach there. Soon we set off at exactly 7:03am.

The sight going there was charming. The trees, the grass, the wildlife, the flowers and the sky that were all painted in rosy red. Seeing this, we took lots of dazzling pictures and saw active wildlife running across the boring highway.

We arrived at Geralton where it is between Perth and Monkeymia. We first saw three metal shapes that are meant to look like sails but to us it looked like kitchen knives so we all joked around a bit telling what it looked like. Then we saw a sign that read:               
3 minutes forward to KFC.
My dad and I wanted to eat at KFC so we looked around almost everywhere in the city. But gave up soon and decided to eat at Hungry Jacks. When we all ate our meals and were ready to go, we started our journey again to our campsite.

From Perth to Monkeymia was hard to go because it was about 850km away. A very long time had passed and when we finally arrived, we ate hot, spicy Rameun. It was about 6:30pm. We got ready to go fishing. We headed off to the jetty that freezing night. We failed at catching fish so we kind of gave up. All a sudden a man came behind my back and surprised me with a tap. He asked if we wanted a squid that the man caught. I happily said yes.

We went back to our cozy campsite and lied to Mum that we caught the squid when the man gave it to us. But you know the saying, the truth always will come out soon or later. So I did tell her. After the long stressful day, I went to my warm bed to sleep, feeling guilty.    Good night....

Is it a good or bad time to be in Kings Park?

A bright sunshine shone on my face but I was still fast asleep until I was woken up by my mother. Also, my dad who was sleeping with me, had to unwillingly wake up. We felt like zombies, as though the sunshine would dissolve us. It was Sunday so I did what most children would do on a Sunday morning. I watched television for a while.

My parents insisted that we go to church and dragged me away from the television. That annoyed me a lot however, church turned out to be fun.  We then headed off to Kings Park because my mum felt it is one of the key attractions my father should not miss in his vacation with us. Father and I had a very enjoyable time and toured around the beautiful sights of Kings Park. There was a grand wedding where the bride and groom looked like royalties with marvellous decorations and people fussing over them. We also went up a high bridge where I felt sick because I was scared of heights. I collapsed. So my strong dad helped me up effortlessly and assisted me to the other end. My dad was awesome.

We also walked around and took millions of pictures of our family and the amazing scenery. The flowers of every colour could be seen and it brightened everyone's spirits. Soon it was the evening and I saw the red sky looking like fire. It was beautiful that I nearly forgot about my parents. I left them alone and I was lost. I felt miserable. Fortunately, I found my parents. I asked for a blanket because it was freezing cold and my dad hugged me so I could get warmed up. I felt like a bird finally meeting it's father from his long journey. I played soccer to get rid of the cold with my dad but sadly, my dad had to stop because it was getting too cold. It was time to head home.

Perhaps the season of winter isn't the best time to be in Kings Park. But strangely, I revelled at the visit today mainly because of my dad. It was a very special and memorable time. Our next family trip promises to be very exciting and the location is kept a secret. My mum said it is a warm place. Stay tune!

Family golf of the decade!

As always, I was woken up by my mother. At first I wasn't very happy that we were going golfing. This game is truly boring. I cannot understand why people want to hit a small ball and walk all round the big golf course. So I tried to drag my feet but my parents threatened to bust me if I didn't get ready quickly. Nevertheless, my dad who is here for a visit wanted to go play golf and I should enjoy my time with him.

When we arrived at Whaleback Golf course, we immediately started our game. My first few shots were bad because I haven't played golf for at least two years. Soon, I became better and my shots were getting more accurate. I even managed to beat my mother a few times. It rained then stopped but rained again at some point, and was also getting windy. It was hard to hit the golf ball because of the strong winds. Surprisingly I still managed to hit them.Then, we met someone we knew and we invited him to join us. 

We soon finished nine rounds. We had lunch and bought drinks so we can do the next set of nine rounds. My mother said she would do better at the next set but unfortunately, she did worse. I beat my mum more than five rounds. My mother was jealous when I was getting admired by Uncle Kim and my dad. I laughed at her cheekily when she lost and she got kind of annoyed. Still, my mother did beat me sometimes but when I hit the ball it normally went over 100 meters.

It was fun. But I was kind of tired after all that golfing so when we finished I went home and ate Korean pork ribs for dinner. It was delicious. This experience taught me that golfing isn't as bad as I thought say look forward for the next game.
