Just got back from my school Perth trip. I took two hundred and eighty photos and two videos. And I gawked at an amazing amount of cute babies. Australia's babies are beautiful. They have really white skin and brown/gold hair, and brown/blue eyes. And you don't see any skinny ones. They're all nice and plump. And the mothers don't mind you bending down to the level of the pram and cooing over the baby. They're really nice. On the last day, I finally bought something for myself, as in just for myself, and they weren't groceries. I spent money on groceries, chocolate, essential oil and food. Then I bought this book: Prose and Cons by the inmates of Fremantle Prison. It's surprisingly good. Don't expect all inmates to be all hardened bikies, druggies and illiternate people. The warden who took us around, Brendan(he smokes. I can smell it around and about him.)said that most of the inmates inside were people of the middle-class, and they were all literate. I bought it for AUD$10. Then we went to Fremantle Market after that. I walked with Niha and Su Xuan, and I bought this shirt that I liked immensely. It cost AUD$35 though. Don't call me a rich kid. I only spent AUD$45 on myself. The rest were on items for my parents, and groceries which were to be shared among my roommates. They were: Eldora(My silly, nonsensical but well-meaning wife), Orisa(My youngest daughter), Siti(My eldest daughter), Amanda(Not her real name)(My middle daughter) and Yi Fan(Amanda's boyfriend). Of course, I rule the roost. I'm the gay dad. People, don't flood my tagboard. There's too much to say for my Perth trip. Taxing. Expensive. But ultimately, the 'time of my life'(Cliche alert! Red alert!). Oh, it was a debate trip. My team debated with Mount Lawley Senior High. Niha and I are 13 and Yi Fan is 14. And we were up against 16 year olds. Of course we lost. But by 284 to 287. And the adjudicator said we were kickass. I'm kinda on the moon. Anyone got an extra oxygen mask? My supply's running out.
LOL.:)
