Day 35

We're almost in Australia! We are on the warship which is speeding towards the coastline. Instead of feeling excited upon the reaching of Australia, I am disappointed as Mum & Dad's boat have not arrived. Rashida said that they could be at the jetty waiting for us so Bibi and I leaned out of the boat and squint at he jetty but they're not there.Andrew came over and puts his hand on my shoulder and promised that he will find the other boat. We had reached Australia and the people were separated into tents. I decided that we should go exploring but Andrew is giving me a strange look. I give it a thought why Anderw was doing that and i understood, it'd be pretty mean if we went sightseeing when our parents could be shipwrecked on a remote island, waiting to be rescued. I give Andrew a grateful look, Australians are really good at thinking of others.

Day 34

The Australian serviceman whose name is Andrew, carried me and Bibi onto the waraship and he could see how scared we were. Bibi had already slept but I'm not so I went to chat with Andrew, who had just brought two platets of fish fingers, chips and peas as he thought that we might still be hungry. I asked Andrew where are Mum & Dad which he replied that they had a plane out looking. Also, he was trying to apologising to us for being a little late in rescuing us as there were paperwork. When I started eating again, I heard a familiar sound-it was Omar! He is back!

Day 33

Suddenly, I heard screaming and the yelling of the people on the deck and they sound terrified. I ignore the screaming and continued scooping out the water as I had no strength for anything else until someone called my name. It's Rashida and she is alive! We stagger onto the deck and my mouth falls open, towering over us, is a HUGE warship. they have guns longer than our whole boat, they also have rockets and machine guns which are all pointing at us causing everyone to panic and running to protect their loved ones. I'm not scared because I recognised the warship's flag, it was the flag of Australia and the Australians had come to rescue us!

Day 32

After the crashing of the huge wave, I have lost both Rashida and Omar. Thank goodness, Bibi is still with me as our belts are tied together with her headcloth. We were scooping out the water in the boat caused by the wave for a long time but doing this doesn't seem to be working. Also, all of us were numb with cold, dizzy of exhaustion and starvation. This is simply torture for Bibi who is only ten and looks pale in the face with her lips blue. Lots of people are looking at her, I suppose they can't believe a female can keep going for this long. They don't how but I know the reason why she can go this long.

Day 31

I was having my football dream again, dreaming that I was kicking the football and having Mum & Dad among the spectators. My hips hurt but I will still dazzle the crowd with my footwork when I suddenly heard Bibi's scream which woke me up from my dream. Now I knew why Bibi screamed, a huge wave was about to crash on us!

Day 30

The people at the front of the boat suddenly started screaming. I see that another boat is approaching, for a moment I think that that was the boat Mum & Dad are travelling on but it is too big. The people on that boat are holding onto weapons and people on this boat are whispering among themselves saying a word which makes me feels very scared. The word is PIRATES! I thought that the smugglers are going to fight the pirates but they don't which makes me feel puzzled. The pirates are trying to drag girls onto their boat, I tried to help Bibi and Rashida by helping them to hide their hair and etc. Finally, the pirates went off and the smugglers abandoned us in the middle of the ocean with a boat full of starving people. What should we do next....

Day 29

Bibi is having a fever and she keeps asking how many days have we been on the boat. I think Bbi is thinking of how many days we can survive as the food & water has finished this morning. Also, today is Bibi's birthday. It is already bad enough that we are being stuck out here in the middle of the ocean. Rashida, Omar and I wished Bibi a happy birthday. We talked about how the Australian government celebrate your birthday by bringing all sorts of goodies to your house. I think this must be Bibi's worst birthday celebration....
