This holiday I let my daughter organize it for us and she did it really well.We started it on Good Friday in Rockingham park where everything was organized for kids, it was something like a Luna Park.We had a lot of fun that day, but the only thing I did not like was Super bowl ride! I am just lucky we left that ride for the end of the day, otherwise if we did that first I would have been feeling sick all day and it would have spoilt a day full of fun and laughter, that would have been a shame. I did not really want to go on it but my daughter said she wouldn’t go with out me. I screamed to get off and my sister, who videoed it, was rolling on the ground laughing (and I think she still laughs today?) I took my daughter for a swim every free afternoon when we had time off. We also went to Mandurah and Secret Harbour, where we have some friends. My daughter’s best friend lives there and they gave us the opportunity to visit a farm, their grandmother’s farm. I am positive we have not missed any park in Perth or around Perth! Because my daughter made sure we visited them all. Then she organized a visit to the Zoo and Adventure Word where we went just before the season closing. We went one weekend to the Swan valley that was my idea and I am sure I deserved it after all. I almost forgot we went to the cinema to watch “17 Agene” we could not miss that because Zack Efron is Molly’s favourite actor. That is pretty much all and next time I will be more careful and not let Molly organize a holiday ever again! But I am very proud of her initiative and adventurous spirit.

My Holiday, My holiday, it was really great fun because my sister came here for a holiday too. On the first day she arrived my kids and I picked her up at the airport around 9.30 pm, it was a really late night for my kids but they were happy to see their aunty. The next day ,we went around Perth to show the City to my sister ,and she said ”wow…..Perth is so clean and beautiful ”I smiled but when she said “is that all to the City of Perth???” and I said yes……….and we both laughed ………because compared with Jakarta ,Perth is very small. Everyday we always went around to the other places in Perth. My sister wanted to see the country side of Australia ,and I took her to Bunbury just for a short trip. We went in the morning and came back in the afternoon. She was really happy to see the farm area ,and she recons it’s beautiful. We went to Fremantle Prison, took a couple of pictures and off again! We went to Fremantle market, had a coffee at the cappuccino strip .We went to a couple of beautiful places around the Fremantle area ,like a long the Swan River …….Point Walter was really nice place for just relaxing with the kids ,enjoying the view while the kids had fun playing in the sand. Most of the time we went to the Restaurant called //Zappier// they do really nice food and coffee and the location is good there it is on the edge of the river ,and of course a playground so kids can enjoy it too. Cottesloe is our favourite place to hangout too, the View so fantastic, just perfect for us .The time running so fast until the time kids go back to school and my sister had to go back to Indonesia .The next school holiday we already have a plan to go to Jakarta and Bali for 3 weeks, that would be great.

HOLIDAY  STORY  I went to Albany  with our  church members. I spent three days there. From Perth  to  Albany takes  six  hours,  a  long  road  with a lot  of  yellow canola  plants  and  sheep along the  road. The road was not very wide and we hade to drive carefully. In Albany the people went fishing, all the people walked along the beach, the weather was good. We ate steamboat together. I slept in a motel. I took a lot of photos. After we got back to Perth I went to wave rock. I walked to the top of wave rock. It was so  beautiful. After that I went home so happy. I have now come back to study  again.

The book included coupons for: lunch for $5, a free tea or coffee and the rest for free play on the machines and the free bus home at 3 o’clock. By Teresa

My holiday I went to Mandurah with my children in the morning.  We visited a friend in the afternoon. In the evening we came back home and we watched TV. On holiday, every afternoon, I drove my children to the beach. I would like my children to play in the park every morning. I was very busy with my children. I sometimes stayed home and worked in the garden.

On Easter Sunday I went to Kwinana together with my friends. We went to the house of another friend. She cooked food for lunch for us. She cooked Filipino food because all of my friends miss Filipino food. I was happy because we could see each other. After lunch we talked to every one: how is the job, family in the Philippines and the situation of life in Australia compared to the Philippines: my friend bought some beer and asked ”lets drink to that, to all Filipino friends.” After we drank the beer he put the karaoke on and we sang, all my friends together. All of us were happy. It was all finished at 1:00am. We all slept at the house. In the morning we went back to my house. I was happy all that day, thanks to a lot of friends My dream holiday! My dream holiday I went to Rome. I want to see the historical and famous church. I pray to saint peter church.
