Last week I was in Perth. I was down at a school camp, as mentioned in the last post, and got braces. I left after my netball game on Saturday. My mum and I only got to the nearby city later that night. We stayed the night there at my dad’s house. He was coming with us but we left my older sister behind because she is in year 12 and she needed to study.
We got up early the next morning (it was only early for me) to drive to Perth. We arrived around 12ish in the afternoon. I needed a bed for my room at my dads house so we went to IKEA. My dad had never been before and I really like IKEA but my mum hates it. I got a Nic bed and we bought a bookshelf for my sister. After that we visited a family friend and stayed at their house for a while. Then we drove to a Thai restaurant to meet up with one of mum’s uni friends for dinner. They have older children, who are at uni themselves, but one of them still came to see us. The food was absolutely amazing. I have never really liked Thai food very much but now I love it. We all ordered different dishes but we agree to share them. So I got to taste all of the food. I like the dish I ordered the best but there also was a nice yellow curry. I tasted a red chicken curry and I think it may have been the worst mistake of my life. I am not very good with spicy foods and this red curry was the spiciest thing you could order. Let’s just say I drank a lot of water that night. After we left we had to drive quite far to get to my uncles house, where we were staying that night. We got there at almost 10 o’clock that night and by then the temperature had dropped quite a bit. It was absolutely freezing according to someone used to 40 degree weather. There was a fire going and I sat in front of it to warm up. I was pretty tired and I went to bed about 11.
The next morning I woke up and remembered that the day was Monday. Today I would get to see all of my GATE friends again. When I went out to get breakfast I found Isabelle in the dining room. She does GATE and is from the same school as me but is in the year above mine. We went out for a bit of shopping and I bought this fluffy blue throw for my bed. I also got earphones and a water bottle from my favourite shop, Typo. Mum and dad took Isabelle and I to the camp at 12 because it would take us an hour and we needed to be there by 1. I was the first one of all my friends there so I got first dibs on the beds. My mum and dad said goodbye to me and they left then two of my friends arrived. One was in my room, Sascha, but the other one, Indigo, was in year 8 so she was in one of the other dorms. I saw Sascha’s science poster in her bag and realised I had left mine in the car. The car that my mum and dad had just left in!
