The weather here is just COLD! It has been freezing since I stepped out of lecture this afternoon and I am soooo scared that I will be blown away by the wind. Hahahaha. Then if that really happens, I will be on the newspapers and I will be FAMOUS!

Went to Rottnest Island yesterday as mentioned and I really had a great time there just basking in the sun and learning more about the history of the place. It's just so sad that Rottnest is just being remembered as a holiday destination rather than a place that use to house the indegenious prisoners that suffered a really hard life. Though I would agree that people will not go to the island anymore if the history is being brought up on a much larger scale, they cannot forget the past because what is in the past helps shape the future too.

After yesterday's trip to the island, today it was another emotional rollercoaster when we visited the museum and saw the exhibition on the indegenious people. Just to hear about the people that were taken away from their parents because of their mixed parentage and how the govt kept emphasising that "it was for their own good" and the effect that it had on them, almost caused me to cry there. I was watching the video they were playing as part of their exhibits and I wanted to cry because I felt so much for them. I cannot imagine the trauma of me being taken away from my parents. I think I would have just gone bersek.

So we went off to do some shopping before going back to the univesity for a lecture. The lecture was rather informative and with us watching this particular episode of a famous sitcom here, I understood the content rather well.

Hope the weather will be better tomorrow!
