i'm back frm kalbarri,it was great fun!can't say the same 4 the 6hrs drive there and back in dan's tiny car wif less leg rm than one can imagine.thurs was no joke.due to mismanagement of time and rushing an essay due i studied till the wee hours of the morn 4 a mid semester wif red bull power!oops.was still on a red bull high in the car trip there and couldn't sleep.it was ok coz i had to navigate our way out of perth.pretty fun coz dan wld tok a bit 2 much and miss turns here and there and i wld lose my place on the map but we wld eventually get back on course.the best pple were clarice, dan's sis and her bf keith (who,as pple who haf cum into contact wif him will know,is a details person,he does not believe in summaries...)we sorta ran there and back on the power of worship songs.fun!cept i was the only one singing cept 4 dan going off key.o well.= ) its the heart.arrived to 2 chalets filled wif families.let me introduce u. there's the missionary family.uncle peng kim,aunt joyce and their kids lis,ben and samantha, a very noisy little gal. then there's the elder's family,aunt joanna kee, uncle kee and cheryl,who's quite crazy 2.then there's the pastor's family, uncle basil, aunt yvonne, shane and justin. then there's dan's parents, uncle james and aunt caroline. wow.is that it?yup.it was juz so good,good place (river mouth,small town quaintness,pink lakes...),good food(thanks to the tonne of fish we caught and good cooks like uncle peng kim who owns the snackbox),good company (the kids were crazy,i tink i taught them a tad too many crazy songs from camping days,oops.and the adults had corny jokes but also words of wisdom 2 share.
on the 1st day, clarice keith lis cheryl dan and the boatman laurie went fishing.lis and clarice got seasick.and cheryl the first time fishergal caught the 1st fish!keith was the anchorman,hee hee.in total they caught 20 fish.dan was the "fisherman",well dats wat everyone calls him.frankly, he sumtimes smells like 1 too.oops.= )dan was like helping everyone on board, so was laurie.meanwhile, the men went golfing and i accompanied sam(antha) to the beach where she attempted 2 catch fish fry in a coke can without avail,then she started to build sandcastles and i assisted in building moats.later she got bored and started 2 build butt holes in the sand.later back at the chalet,we got even more bored and i taught them the underwear song.ask denise or eddie to sing it 2 u.it cracks pple up everytime.4 din we had wat else but fresh fish.now i haf fish bone phobia but the fish was juz so good i couldn't stop eating.
day 2,was actually fishing competition day,i haf no idea y dan slotted me in,to b the charm?coz i was a 1st timer and he expected me to get the big one.i told him i already did even before we left land.= D me dan justin shane and ben were on. me and shane got seasick. wich was weird coz normally i can ride rollercoasters on a full stomach and cum out a ok.maybe it was the smell of bait and/or diesel.i really dunno.anyway i caught my 1st fish, while i was still seasick.a pink snapper!after the 3rd fish i was keeling over and puking so i gave up 4 the day.but we really hit the spot coz we wld juz drop bait and almost immediately wld get a bite.we juz kept pulling up fish after fish.we caught 50 over dat day and dan nearly caught sharks on 3 oppurtunities but they snapped the line.didnt haf enuf 2 enter competition anyway.but we had lots of good eating fish. i was supposed 2 b onboard cameragal but was 2 seasick 2 lift a finger.wanted to film dan's "holey" shirt.heez.
3rd day went horseriding!wif sam cheryl clarice and keith.so cool rode thru river!but my horse was big,name of diesel,who apparently was dan's horse last year.hmm.then went canoeing wif pretty much the same bunch.hey,rhyme!anyway,uncle basil's canoe kept capsizing wif sam laughing hysterically away.we got back to answered prayers 4 fish.finally mackerel and tuna!but most of the adults cept 4 dan and his dad got seasick.had a bbq dat nite and me and sam juz went crazy singing mad songs.
well dat was kalbarri,can't wait to go there again.next year!yay!
