It's weird how over the past week i really yearned for hot baths and now, i just want to cool myself... Gahh! One week passed so fast! I miss Tasmania! I miss Hobart! I miss the weather! I miss the beautiful scenery! I miss LOADS OF OTHER THINGS! OLD WOOL STORE ROCKS MY LIFE!It's damn nice. As welcoming as a home. As fun as a playground.

In the plane, I sat with chenning and justin. Chong. Kinda fun. Then later melissa came over and my secret was out. The MOD ( Movie on Demand ) was spoilt, so, scheduled movies : ( Transporting the instruments in the airport was the most dreaded and tedious thing we did throughout the trip.We headed for Richmond, a small village like town. Very cool. It consists of only one street. A re-known bridge was there. The oldest bridge in Australia. They had like lots of oldest things because they were the 2nd settlement in Australia. Lunch, we had tortilla, muffin and water by the river. The tortilla was made by our driver. A really humorous guy. He was a great guide throughout our stay. We went to Hobart to check in.We checked into the hotel room very excited! They got like Nickelodeon free lah. Apparently, the seniors got to pick their bed and they obviously picked the nicer one with a kitchen and all. Our room was very plain but comfy. It only consists of 3 beds and a toilet : ) Ryan got the double bed while juNe ping and i got a single. Each. Then dinner came at a hong kee chinese restaurant. First day and they thought we would miss Singaporean food already.

Needless to say, the food was average and in between waits were long. Very long.
Second day, we went to the air walk. Not walking on air but on suspended metal platforms. When Queenie walked, it shook. Dramatically! No pictures here because I didn't charge the night before. Then lunched by another river. Sandwiches and submarines FTW! ( I'm just joking. So much veg. But thanks to the people who make it. ) Desert was especially nice! Yum! Then pizza hut-ed! Buffet man! Gorged down 5 pizza. Slices : )
Thursday was band practice for whole day. Actually, We had free time. Until AJC decided to take a break. Free time. Flew away~! T_T Fish and Chip-ed! Nice~! Finally something filling. Ugh. Group photo!Friday. We headed our butts over to Port Arthur. Had a small cruise ride. Many photos taken!The port was really really interesting. Perhaps the most interesting site? When you arrived, they would give you a poker card. Each card represents a different prisoner. So they had 52. I managed to get Ace of Spades. Robert Goldspick. He was charged for breaking into a house. He was a shoe maker's apprentice. It's damn cool. Then there was this church where the clarinets got married. Weilin to Devin and Chenning to Benedict. Tsk. Childish acts befall our BMM : ) Then we got to the Devil's Kitchen, which was really just a cape. Nice though.Dinner was in chinese again! HOT POT~! All tastes... Unique. I couldn't eat beef, so there were limited things i could eat. In the end i wasted loads of food. Sigh.

Then the BIG day. Competition. Sigh. My lips tore and obviously, could not play as well. But still managed to grasp the 2nd for junior C and 3rd ( Best March ) for junior A. Kinda enjoyed bush dance the most although we got last for that. I don't know. You will just get this feeling of achievement and that you really performed it. Really nice. Almost cried. Tears of joy after bush dance. At night, we finally had dinner in the hotel. Nice. Rice and noodles finally.
Sunday, we found ourselves walking into the Federation Concert hall to witness the brass opens. NICE! The cornets were hell good of a runner. Can even be compared to woodwinds. Nice and clear too. Kudos! Then we went to finally see the Wombats and Tasmanian Devils. SWEET~!Dinner was prepared courtesy of Mr DeSouza. Tsk. I didn't even try T_T It was curry and spaghetti. I ate the rice with green curry. Damn shiok. Finally eating rice.
We flew back the next day, to reality. But it was a really successful trip. I guess.
