Hey guys,

Just posting a new post, cause A LOT has happend since the last post, i've been abseiling YUP ABSEILING off a 15m tower, i went rockclimbing, i had my graduation, and i'm going to malaysia soon..!!
Abseiling
Well i'll start off with my abseiling adventure. On the 29th of November, a saturday, i went abseiling! The tower was 15m high, it was BIG! We were going to spend the whole day there, so first of all we had to have lunch, while stumpy and someone else set up all the safety equipment, me and Indra were under a shelter trying to shop up onions! I started crying after about the 3 onion, but it was fun, everybody didn't want to help cause they were watching stumpy and the other dude. After we had lunch, which was sausage sizzle, we got harnessed up and started climbing up the 15m high ladder to get to the top! Man the climb sucked, it basically killed your arms!


The first time i went down, i had to go down with stumpy because yes i was scared. The second time i went down i went down on different ropes but still down with stumpy.
The third time i went down i was fine! The fourth time i
went down i stumbled and fell on my back, there was a
bruise which sucked...But the fifth time i went down PERFECT! It was so fun and guess what mum went down too! She did great for a person who is scared of heights.

Later that night, Indra, Jason and I stayed back with stumpy for a campfire dinner! It was sooo fun we sang campfire sonogs and played games with the Singapore Scouts.

My Graduation
This was the day that i had been waiting for. From the first day that i attended C.V.P.S. This was the day that i graduated from PRIMARY SCHOOL! The down side of that day was that i had to wake up at 6:00am in the morning...But anyway i got to school ontime, and we did the whole graduation it didn't seem to take long though...weirdly? We had a luncheon dance after, the the graduation which was AWESOMEE!! We had fried chicken, chips, pasta, and fish. It was so yummy.We did heaps of dancing too!


Rockclimbing
After the graduation, that same day but at night i went rockclimbing! It was soo fun. It was a 3 m high wall, which was in Byford Rec. I climbed to the top only once, but Maddi climbed to the top like 5 times! It was soo fun! There was also a rope ladder that was 5m high as well, Jason said to me that i will probabaly only make it up 7 steps, but i said that i have a rope ladder at home, and i proved him wrong and climbing to the top. I'm not sure if there is a rockclimbing badge, but i hope there is XD.


Malaysia
In 2009 January the 14th i'm going back to Malaysia! It's gonna be soo fun i'm going back there for 2 and a half weeks. I haven't been back to Malaysia since i was 8 and now i'm 12. Well i'll keep you posted!

P.S

Did i mension i love canoing and i'm going canoing on Saturday. It's gonna be soo fun, we're doing it the whole day!

Hello, I'm back from me holiday and I'm 12 years old. Twelve... last year of being a year old and last year of primary school. Man I feel really old now.

Well we went for a little camping trip as i told you all in me last post. We went down south to "Eaton" which is a scout campsite just near Bunbry. It wasn't very good because it was small. It was VERY VERY VERY close to the neighbour-hood too, so we didn't camp there.

What we did was, we went to Busselton and looked for some campsites. We thought we would look around for a little, visit a couple of campsites because we only wanted to stay at the campsite for 2 nights. We would be out the whole day anyway.

So we ended up at a place called Amblin Caravan and Camping Site. It was very big, i wasn't the only kid that missed school on that Friday. As soon as we got there we pitched our tent, set up the camp kitchen set up the tent. We also had a new toy to play with, we had a camp stretcher. Usually we'd all sleep on a camp mattress. It was very big, but it was easy to unpack. The stretcher was meant for dad, but on the second night i slept on it.

After we had set up our whole campsite and dominated it! We had lunch and went out to Dunsborough. We looked around the town to see if there were any good places to eat dinner the next night. Dad saw an ad for a place called "Sweet Lips" but we couldn't find it. After a while we went back to the campsite.

I cooked dinner that night and it was awesome! We had "Bangers n' Mash" (with salad -sigh-). It was sooo yummy that it made me feel really fat and useless after it. So we crawled into bed and slept.

The next day, we woke up and it was really cold...very very cold. I thought it would be somewhat warmer because it's now spring. But nup it was cold. That morning we had Bacon and Eggs, yumm! Dad recommended me to have a shower because it warmed you up, and he was right. So after my scrumcious breaky i went and had a shower.

Shortly after my warm shower, we were off. First we went to these markets and mum bought all these presents for her family in Malaysia when we go back next year. We were then off to Meelup beach. That's where we climbed rocks! I managed to lead dad to one of the highest rocks we could see! I stood up there and did a victory pose :P. Then dad drove us around a million dollar neighbour-hood, where we drewlled at all the houses because they were so awesome.

After about 30 mins of being in a jungle of rich houses, we found our way to the main road where mum lead us to "Bootleg Brewery". It was packed! There was a live band playing and there was some sort of Hen's and Buck's party being held there. There, we had lunch which was yummy fish and chips and a Tandoori Chicken Sandwhich. We finished it like that! Mum and dad had a couple of drinks and then we were off yet again.

They dragged me along for their wine tastings...i tell you it was sooo boring. Listening to adults talk about the origin and history of the company. So we finally went home, to the tent.

When we got back i went into the pool. It was so warm, it was awesome. I did some dives and laps. I had my shower and then went back to the campsite. Then we left for Dunsborough. At Dunsborough, we bumped into someone I wouldn't have expected to see. Chelsi Clariadge and her dad getting dinner.

I was so shocked and later on i found out they had the same food as us just different times, I was saying to my dad i think she's stalking us or something. It was such a big coincidence. After we got our dinner (take aways), we drove to a car park at the foreshore and sat in the car to eat. It was yum. We went home and again went straight to bed this time like i said I slept in the stretcher. It wasn't as comfy as the mattress but it was ok.

Today was the day we came home, so I'm going to write it in present tense. Well we woke up and i raced straight to the shower! I was so cold again. The shower woke me up and it warmed me up. We had french toast for breakfast and then we started packing up. It took us about 1 hour with 3 pairs of hands, but we got there. As soon as we packed up we checked out and we drove down to Margret River, where mum and dad did more wine tastings.

A couple of wineries later, we came to this brewery called Cowaramup Brewery. We were their first customers for the day. It had a million dollar view! It was awesome, mum and dad had a tester rack. Then we decided we would come back later to have lunch there. Dad wanted to go visit a few more wineries before we came back to have lunch. We had fish and chips and a stew pie. (i kept to the fish n' chips..)

So after lunch we were off, for home, real home. It was a 2 hour and a half drive home, i was so bored that i slept. When we finally got home Susie was jumping for joy. We washed the car wich was covered in dirt, bird poo (and not just bird poo but other poo) and insects. We finally got it clean, that evening i was soo exhausted.

-snuffle snuffle snuffle- Man i hate this cold! I HATE HATE HATE IT!! Yesss, i'm sick, unfortuanately...I'm not going to school today. So i have to stay at home sick. Yup nothing to do. But i had a pretty good week end and another weekend to look forward to. Because yes, it's my BIRTHDAY! You can call it whatever, biffy, buffy, buff-day, biff-day, birthday, but that's my birhtday!! AND WE DID HEAPS OF AWESOME STUFFSSS! For my party we went ice-skating, it was soooo much fun. Although everyone else fell down i didn't XD.

We started our trip to go pick-up Johanna and Anthea in our REDD NEW CAR! (it's a yaris and it's red! And it's also my mum's car!! woo hoo) So we went to pick up Anthea and Johanna and then we went to the ice-arena. When we got there, we got our tables in the lobby and put our stuff there, then we (Johanna, Anthea and I) waited outside on the curb for me other friends. As soon as most of my friends came we went to go get our skates on. Zoe hadn't come yet. Zoe ended up coming an 1 hour later, because her dad got lost XD. We had soo much fun at my party, A LOT OF FUN. I also got heaps of presents! I got stationary, a book light, a pencil case, a necklaace, 2 small glass teddy ornaments, DIY fashion kit and money!

These are some of the pictures from Ice-skating.

Hello,

Just typing about stuff lately. There's not much happening but i feel very busy. It's the last term of primary school for me, i'm so sad. I need to make a card for each of my favorite teachers. I have so many!! They're all so nice, kind and fun to work with. It sucks because my friends and I are going in different directions for next year. But hopefully we can still see each other and all. Otherwise i will so cry... :C

In scouts i've earned 5 badges! I have heaps to earn still. But i'm hoping that i would've have earned ALOT of badges by Jamboree.

Cya Later 8)

hmmm...what should my journal name be. i am wondering very oddly what i should name my journal any suggestions ARE OPEN!

Anyways getting on, I am drinking tea. It has like fwee sugars. (fwee = my three)LULZ anyway getting on AGAIN. The olympics have started (yeah ages ago) that was soooo fwee days agooo. GET THE RHYME!! yeah that's me being hyper with my friend MIZU-CHII!

wth my parents are watching simpsons OMFG how scary. anyway i have to go because i think i need to finish my 'TEA'.

bye bye^^

hands-of-fate~~~

Hi.

I'm drinking milo right now and i'm being entirly bored. This morning my hair was like POOF and was flicked to the side which was really annoying, and it still kinda is. =.='

Yeah, apparently it's a false alarm for breaking dawn. My friend keeps on saying that they hate Stephanie Meyer because she totally twisted the storyline. But a male vampire can make a human girl pregnant, because sperms are always there it's not a cycle like the girls. So for example Alice, Esme and Rosalie cant have kids because they're stuff cant produce ect.

So yeah, I'm going to update some of my other outdated stuff nows...byee

hands-of-fate~~~

OMFG OMFG OMFG it's so HOT! You can accutally feel the sun on your skin again, and it's meant to be winter pfft.

Anyways atm i'm drinking Pepsi Max/Coke or what ever you want to call it(btw it's the same thing even though some people think they're different) i'm so freaking thirsty i had money in my pocket so why not go buy something from the deli.

Yeah, I have like a LOAD of homework piling up so i think i should go and do some homework =.= i'm not looking forward to it though i have to type up a whole biography on Dawn Fraser the olympian, and i have to type up a SA thing on your school life at school to put in the year book. -sigh- i better get on with it, byee ^^

Hands-Of-Fate

Ok I’ve got a name for my journal, i just remembered it, it's called Jackies Quiet Confessions.

I think i used it in my last journal entry. Anyway a lot has happened. I kinda changed and toggled with my verification email so i had to verify it again, so yeah.

OMFG. NURUL HAS THE FATTEST MOUTH ANYONE CAN THINK OF. SHE HAD TO FREAKING GO TELL JESS WHAT HER B-DAY PRESSIE WOULD BE FROM ME AND ELLE. -Sigh- I’m so pissed of at her right now...= . =

AND OMG I'VE JUST HEARD NEWS. Ryan yes Ryan aka BR has a new Girlfriend. I was like wow literally and I’m serious when I say wow this time because in the past he didn’t have success and I’m still WOWED because I’m seriously surprised. He can’t do this to crim... This is bad...

Anyway I think I should go now, coz I’m kinda abandoning my fellow msners so good byees! ^^

Hands~of~fate

Dear JQC,

Today was very weird in a normal way. I felt lonely, in a way that i had comfort and felt peaceful. If you get what i mean. It was odd because today i felt like doing things completely. I felt i had to do something and complete it.

Anyway getting away from all that sort of stuff. Today was odd. My teacher seemed all bubbly in the morning and as the day went on, well he slowly became more and more grumpy again.

LOL it was so funny at recess Jess, Elle and I were playing piggy in the middle near a roof. We were playing with Jess's lunch box. It was so funny because i accidentally threw her lunch box up onto the roof. I was running around like a chook trying to find our deputy to get it down. I was saying sorry continuesly to Jess.

I think i have talked enough, not as much as elle though, i'm a little hungry so i'm going to go eat something...mmm

Anyway byee ^^

hands~of~fate!

Dear JQC,

Just to let you guys know if i havent already told you JQC stands for Jackie's Quiet Contemplations. And if you dont know what contemplations mean pleae ask me because i want to get on with explaining what i'm going to do today.

Today today today...Today i'm going to the shops to buy my friend Jess pressies for her birthday. I know she loves scrapbooking so i'm going to get her that. But one other thing i'm really scared of is getting her a book. What if she's already read that book, that's why i was thinking about getting her a book like every new chapter has a new story. So it's like a short story for each chapter. Get what i mean. Am i babbling on and on. Yet again.

Anyway this morning I had a really SUPER yummy soup dish for breakfast. It was sssssouper yummy and that was the lame joke my dad made -.- please excuse that.

Ok, There's this packet of pocky sitting on my desk staring me in the face and saying eat me! But it's not open yet and it's for Jess's sleepover party midnight snacks. But i have this urge to eat it BAD!

Anyway i'll put you out of your missery with reading this now, so byee! ^^

hi,

Anyway recently i had this really big scout camp, it was really super duper good!

Arrival day:

I got there at about 10 in the morning, most of the tents were already set up and the kitchen fly's were set up already. Later when everyone got there, we had a mini parade. During the parade we introuduced ourself to the troop, got our scarves and got our name tag. Our troop was made up of 4 other different troops.

After parade we got assigned into our patrols. I was with the same old person who was my patrol leader in my home troop =.='. In our patrols we put up our troop gate and the social area's at the front. We moved in to our tents. That's basically the end of the arrival day.

Day 1:

Today was cold. I had a stomach ache for the whole day...which sucked. In the morning we went to Toe Tag Challenge. It was a CSI thing and we were the detectives it was AWESOME!

After that we went to laser tag, yes LASER TAG IN THE BUSH i was like OMG but it was really laser tag. Like Dark Zone which was AWESOME!!

My tent-mate Indra, still had a really bad stomach ache after dinner. I fell asleep and when i woke up it was 10:00pm and Indra had vommited in the tent. It smelt ewww but i couldn't see any vomit so that was good. But Indra went to the sick bay and i moved out of that tent because it smelt bad!! and i would be alone in the tent. So i moved into the first tent for the night.

Day 2:I woke up, and i was so cold. Indra was back from the sick bay. She was so much better. Today we were meant to be going to Pelecon Point. We had to be on the bus by 7:50am!! At Pelecon point we did Raft building, Canoing, Scenic boat trip and volleyball. I didn't like Raft Building, it's so hard, because we all have to spread out the weight evenly!

The Canoing was so fun!! I paired up with Indra and we started off literally CRAP! The speed boat helpers, had to come rescue us like 7 TIMES. But then we got better and we were good enough to be in the Iron Man challenge. When ever they saw me they would say "there's the best canoists on camp!"

Day 3:

Today we had Abseiling!! OMG IT WAS SO FUN!! We went at 9:00am. I TELL YOU THE HARDEST WOULD NOT BE GOING OFF THE EDGE (although that is a little scarey) BUT THE HARDEST BIT IS CLIMBING UP THE LADDER, IT'S LIKE 15 METRES HIGH!! argh...it doesn't sound high does it, but it is..it's MASSIVE!! I had 2 shots at it, it was so much fun!!!!! We returned just intime for market day. Market Day was where we had to set up our front "social areas" as a sort of market. We sold things with fake money! It was so much fun. The troop with the most fake money won the prizes. WE WON!! WE WON THE MARKET DAY PRIZES!! FUNKEY TOWN WON WOOPEEEEEEEE! We kinda were jumping for joy and all.

Days 4:

This morning we went to Hathi's Hangout which was quite a walk actually. It was on the other side of the campsite completly. There we had to build a tyre pully. It was so hard, but we got there in the end. After Hathi's Hangout we went to do some Crate stacking on the oval. Crate stacking uses the same wall as Abseiling just it's on the side. It was so fun and i was onto my 16th crate and then i was like ah i cant do this anymore, because i was so shaky, i mean i was like litterally shaking!! My patrol leader got 22 he broke the record of 20 at campwest. But that wasn't his Personal Best, his PB was 23 or 24 crates! wow. In the afternoon i went to the Frat Tent and made a badge, and a pom-pom. Unfortunatly Jason killed my pom-pom.

Day 5:

Today was the last day. In the morning we went off-site. We went to the Byford Recreation Centre. We had so much fun there. I did rockclimbing there, high ropes and beach volleyball. The centre looked so new it was a really nice place to be. Later when we went back to the campsite. We went to have lunch then we went to Ariel Runway, which was also on the other side of the campsite. We had been there before, earlier this year with just our troop. It was so fun though. We had 1 go and then we walked all the way back to Down Hill crash. I really liked it when we got pulled up by the ute to go back up to the top of the hill. We just missed the Hump Back Taxi's but we got the sticker anyway :P The closing ceremony was awesome, it was just a shorter version of the opening ceremony. At the closing ceremony someone got their Australian Scout Medalian and he wrote something on my scarf! His name was Joe and he's so lucky! His sleeves were like Bri's they were full of proficiency badges. XD

Well that was all about my Campwest trip. Sorry it was a little late, but i have been putting it off, i was kinda lazy. ^^" Sorry and i'll try to write in here more often.

Hi again everyone,

Well just the last weekend, which includes friday now because alot happend on friday. I'll start on friday ok?

Friday

On Friday was our injections day. I was soooo scared, I wanted to think back to the last needle and think about how the last one felt. But the feeling never came to me. All I could think of was AHH THE NEEDLE IS COMING!! I was so freaking scared of it! Then when we were in the waiting line for our injections Mr King our deputy principal was there. LOL and Maddi asked a really really stupid question. She asked Mr King what circumcise means. The rest of us (the people who knew what it meant) started laughing so hard we snorted LOL. And then the moment came where i was sitting in the chair with the nurse next to me waiting for me to say when. But when she acctually did the needle it just felt like a really sharp pencil poking me. The best thing about it was that i only had 3 seconds of pain. Which was good beleive me. And poor Jess, she cried so bad, i gave her my hand to squeeze if she felt any pain and she nearly broke off my hand. I'm serious man is she strong

Later that day after school i had a party! Again. It was nurul's party! I had to go in my scout uniform because i had to go halfway. Jess seemed to have healed by then. We had so much fun. Then my mum came to pick me up at 7:00pm an hour before it ended because i had to go for scouts. Unfortunately i missed out on the cake :(. But at scouts i had a presentation to make. It was a success. I brought a lot of things because i had to bring my stave, laptop to present it on, a massive envolope to store it in and a Cd-rom. I was trying to earn my multi-media badge. In the end i earned it! But unfortunately they didnt have the badge for me. So i have to wait until next week... man have a got a lot more typing to do...


Saturday

On Satruday i woke up feeling sore and mega tired. Today was Elle and Nurul's real birthday. I also had another party. Elle's party. I woke up and basically dragged myself out of bed and packed everything. Spare clothes, towel and pressie. We were going to have a water fight. At Elle's party everyone ran around MAD! lol we didnt even get the proper water fight up an running because we were mucking around too much and there were so many rules!! I MEAN C'MON IT'S MEANT TO BE A PARTY!! Anyway we had heaps of fun. But when i got home i tell you, you should've seen me i was like DEAD! I had my shower and changed into dry clothes and got my blanket and wrapped it around me. Then i walked and then when i felt tired i would just drop where ever in the house i was and sleep there for like 30 mins and then get up and walk a little then drop again. You should've seen me i was so funny my mum said. She was looking for me, because she went to my room then everywhere else and then finally found a lump on her bed. LOL!


Sunday

Today i woke up late, and that was good! I was planning to have a non-active day. But i remembered it was father's day. I was looking through my bag so badly that morning because i did his card at school. I couldn't find it. (Today i went to school and found it in my tray can you beleive that!! gahh!) That day i had a quiet day and managed to adopt half of the vegie patch!

That's basically it! that's my weekend including Friday for you. I'm still trying to catch up sleep but i think i'll manage. I have to go have my shower now so byee byee!

Jackie xoxox

Hi Everyone,

I know I know, i have been putting writing in here off for a while. But i'm serious i've been super busy. It's nearing the end of the year and i'm going to be graudating soon! OMG. Anyways the other week we had an open day which was where we show off our work. I dragged my dad along so he could see my work :). Today we had a Maths Competition it was really awkward. I was the only girl in our class who could be stuffed to enter it. I didnt get very far though. Acctually i kinda sucked.

OMG I CANT WAIT UNTIL THE HOLIDAYS! It's going to be loads of fun. Scouts are going to go on a big 7 day camp! I think it's 7 days? Anyway we're going to Manjadel and there are at least 1000 scouts going. Oh and next year my friend Jess might be joining scouts. It'll be where we meet up every week because we're going to different school's next year.

Ok, you might have been asking yourself before what i've been busy with? Right, right. Well with all the olympics going on i've been doing a lot of homework for it. I've also been writing up a biography, a year 7 memories SA, Cybersmart report, doing badge work for scouts and making and buying heaps of birthday pressies and cards.

The really weird thing is that lately most of my friends birthdays are happening at this time of the year. Weird huh? When ever my friends are counting down to their birthday i'm just like it's 2 months till my birthday! :D and they laugh at me and give me sympathy.

I'm going to finish off my cards, wait for stumpy's email, eat and practice my music. Thank goodness Mr Owen didnt give us any homework -sigh- LOL. I also have tommorrow to look forward to (not) we have injections and nurul's party then scouts! big day huh?

Well adios amegozs...i think that's how you spell it. And please comment i've had like 1 or 2 comments only.

FROM Jackie! xoxox

I'm seriously POOFED. Last weekend i went to Operation Nighthawk. It's a Scout camp which was at gingin. It was soooo tiring, i think i walked like 15km in one night! :0 that's alot. I only went to bed at 5:30am and woke up at 9:00am in the morning. We walked through the bush at night and we had to try navigate our way around. It was so cold, and ontop of that i had to walk through cold water. It left my shoes feeling Jelly like.

Anyway i was wondering if anyone could give suggestions for a name for this blog diary. It makes it sound more homey.

I have to go shower now so...i have to go. If you have any suggestions email them to me at: jacqoh@gmail.com

Byee Jackie ^^

Hi all,

Ok ok, for the past few months i've been VERY busy and i havent been able to write in my blog but now is my chance. I would just like to tell you that school holidays for semester 1 are nearly here and i've been working my butt and my hands off. Last week was like the school's atheletic week because we had to cross country (we have to run a big course around the school). Guess what i came...10th yeah...unfortunately i have to train because i'm on the school team it's unfortunate yet exciting. Yesterday (Friday) we had our interschool winter sports carnival too. Jessica Hancock and I brought Milo and everyone was drinking a little bit of it. I was playing Rugy Tag. Rugby tag is where you where a velcro belt and you have to tags on the side and then you have to tag the person with the ball it's like rugby accept no physical contact is allowed.

Our school won nothing! We had a lot of fun and that was the main thing i guess. Anyway getting back to stuff...I got into Rossmoyne SHS! I am so happy. I got in for the specialist music program there. I'm so excited! I still need to go for the orientation around the school so i know where everything is.

Now time to tell you all the big things that have happend to me with scouts....

1. Rottnest Invasion

The scouts and i went to Rottnest Island for a weekend. That was the first time i went on a ferry it was so cool there were three storys. The bottom middle and then the top aka deck. Our job as scouts over there was to pick up rubbish. We had to walk to the middle of the island and pick up weeds and rubbish. After lunch near the end of the day, we had realised that we had picked up TONNES AND TONNES of the wrong weed. We probably did more harm than help the enviroment. After returning to the camp again feeling very guilty of what we had done. We went down to the beach.

Later that night we went into the small town of Rottnest and had Chicken Treat for dinner! Then all the scouts played scarface.

The next morning we woke up and got ready to pack up. We had breakfast which was cereal and then packed up our bags, tents and other stuff into the craters that would go on the ferry on the way back to Perth mainland. After we had done that we took our purses/wallets and went into town and went shopping! We had so much fun. When we were there we also saw LOTS of quakkas. One of our tents a quakka had been through. They were so cute and cheeky those little critters.

2. Unearth Perth

All of the scouts in WA gathered at Perth, Esplanade for a very big camp in the city. It was basically like a BIG BIG treasure hunt. It was so fun accept we had to move to lynwood hall because the esplanade got flooded by all the rain. It was unfortunate we had to move but these things happen. But even then we did have a lot of fun at lynwood. We did a skit. (It's like a small silly funny play) and we had a bonefire and roasted marshmellows and sang songs! It was so fun!

That's basically all the big things that have happend but there also have been heaps of other little things going on *giggles* Like my friend elle is going to Malaysia for a holdiday and she's leaving on the 1st July. It's also winter over here in Australia, WA so we've been lighting the fire lots of times. (We've got it going right now ;D) This year is also my last year of priamry school. (year 7)

Love You all! Jackie xoxo XD

Hey it's Jackie! I haven't been updating my blog but now i am. Lately I've been everywhere, not literally but anyway. I have quit my Gymnastics last year. This year i'm going to try something new. I have join scouts this year! I'm so excited because this year is the 100 year anniversary for scouts Australia so i think there will be a lot of activity's for the scouts.

As you all know it's just been Anzac day here in Australia. Well I'm in scouts and us scouts had to guard to memorial for Anzac day from vandals. It was so fun, because we got to go to the near by petrol station and we got to buy some food and drinks. I got a redbull! it tastes heaps good!

There was a tent pitched and in that tent there was a...you won't guess what it was...it was a TELEVISION! One of our scout leaders brought a T.V for us! I watched lots of T.V in between my shifts. That night i didn't have any sleep because I had to go up every 3o mins so there was no point in going to sleep if you have to wake up in half and hour. Anyway we had mid-night pizzas delivered to us! I only had 2 slices because I wasn't that hungry. Each shift was 30 mins. I had to cover some peoples shifts because they were sleeping. One guy called Michael pretended to sleep only because he didn't want to stand up there in the cold.

It was a lucky thing that I brought my big thick jumper or i would have been an ice-block. Then in the morning we had the dawn service which was cold...and boring. Then later in the morning us scouts served the vetrains that fought in the war. I served lots of vetrains I was having fun. I met a older man who's name was Ken he was a guy from the rotary club who volunteered to help make the breakfast. I was telling him the orders and then he would make the breakfast and I would serve. One of the vetrains loved my serving so much that i got $2 for it! I was like 'No you don't need to give me money' and he's like 'yes in repayment for your lovely food'. The vetrains were so kind...I feel sorry for them because they were putting their life on the line.

Just recently I just came back from a camping trip down south. It was at Conto's campground and we stayed for 6 days(1 week). We did heaps and heaps of things and i will tell you what we did from Monday up till Saturday.


Monday

The trip took about 3 and a half hours. The only time we stopped was at the Busselton Jetty to have lunch. Then we were off again when we arrived at the campground dad went around all of the campgrounds to check out the facilities and see if there were any vacant spots. Luckily there was a vacant spot and we started setting up our tent. When we were pitching the tent dad counted the wrong amount of poles so the tent got a bit funny shaped! But in the end we worked it out and got the right amount of poles and the tent went back to its normal shape.

Later in the evening after we had settled in to the campsite we went to look at the Conto beach and the Conto spring. The Conto beach was like a surfers paradise. The waves there were massive. Conto Spring had big waves too but it also had a fresh water spring when you first enter the beach, i had a taste of the water and it's really fresh clean water!!!

When we went back to the campsite we met the campground host. Coincidentally we met the same campground host as the one we met in our last camping trip. His name is Eric. Dad and him had heaps of chats when he was at out campsite.


Tuesday

In the morning we went bird watching and we spotted 10 birds. We also heard lots of bird calls. In the morning after the bird watching we went to look at a cave it was called Lake Cave. It was the first toured cave that i have ever been to. It was so spectacular and it was 75m underground. The stalactites and stalacmites took millions and millions of years to form! Later in the afternoon we went to Hamelin bay to just have a dip and to freshen ourselves up.

In the morning we tried to find a fishing spot but we couldn't it was too windy. Then we went to Margret River and bought some groceries. We also had lunch there and we had a burger and some wraps with a mango smoothie.YUM. Then we walked around the place a little and went back to the campsite. We got to light a fire in the fire ring and we cooked dinner on that. When we were eating dinner we got swooped by a Kookaburra. It was scary and weird all at the same time.


Thursday

In the morning we went to the Conto's Beach and we walked along and picked up rubbish and some shell-fish shells and seaweed. Then mum, dad and i went back to the campsite and we made lunch and had lunch. After lunch we went for a little walk and then mum and dad dropped me off at the campsite and they went for a long walk. Then when they came back I had my shower underneath the camping shower we bought just recently. It was so warm because we put it on the ground with the black side up so it absorbed the heat.


Friday

In the morning on Friday we just stayed at the campsite and just chilled I guess. Then we made lunch at the campsite. Then the really exciting thing was in the evening we went for a night tour at Calgardup Cave. It was not bright so we have to have a head torch and a carry torch, the adults only had a carry torch but we had the head torch and the carry torch. We also had a tour guide. We were split into 2 groups and we were with Tracey. Tracey the head ranger of all the rangers that came to the campsites. She's also a cave tour guide. In the cave we went to a really interesting part of the cave. It had tree roots hanging from little holes off the cave ceiling. It was so amazing. You wouldn't think tree roots would come so far down. We also went to a part where it so low that you had to squat and walk at the same time it was so low. In that cave you could also do abseiling down and you would land on a platform in the cave. It was so fun.


Saturday

On Saturday we made sure that we woke up extra early so we could pack up our stuff and go so we could get to Mandurah and have lunch there. We stopped at the place where we usually go crabbing in Mandurah and we had lunch in the car. Then it was full steam ahead all the way home.

That was the big Camping Trip/Holiday for me this summer holidays.

Hey people it's the new year! wow! I want to wish everyone a happy new year from me!
