PERTH Western Australia (6th-11th Jan)
Okay darlings, here's my post on our Perth Trip :)
DAY 1 - Arrived Perth International Airport at around 615am. Checked in hotel (everyone feeling tired). Ibis hotel is beautiful, I really love it! Monkey and I shared a room. We all went to snooze for a while. haha and yes, gor and I did our bidding in the hotel. In the evening we did went out abit. We went to swanbell near swan river. Again another a beautiful sight. Couldn't take pictures though as our camera was out of batt and papa forgot to take out the extras. Yup. We ate Macs for dinner.
DAY 2 - Took a bus to University of Western Australia! Still remember the bus number, 102! It wasn't a long ride, about 20mins. UWA is so cool! It look ancient, old but so pretty. The place is spacious and the architecture is just simply awesome. The place is rather quiet as they are having holidays still. Their semester will open on Feb if I'm not wrong. Yea, we wondered around and took alot of pictures :) haha monkey even took a picture of the toilet. We did see some lecturers (if I'm not wrong) walking around. Gor and I thn went in the visitors' office to ask for the prospectives of UWA (ya monkey will most prob be studying there next year). Our day kind of end like this. We took a bus back ibis hotel after that.
DAY 3 - Happening day. We took a train to Fremantle. I love the place. It's like a port and there were alot of ships and boats parked there. We had our lunch there (I ate fish n chips). I LOVE THE SEA! Oh, there were alot of seagulls there too, took many pictures of them too. By the time we went to perth city, it was already in the evening. Papa didn't want to waste the train ticket, hence, mummy, papa, monkey and I took another train to Armadale, a suburb. It was quiet and peaceful, it's like a housing estate. We went shopping for a while in Woolworths and of course ate dinner at Hanz Asian Cuisine only. Yummy, I ate laksa. We wanted to take the train back at around 745pm, but there were no more trains by that time. So we took the bus (907) all the way back to Perth city. It was a long ride, my butt was seriously aching. There were alot of people on the bus with us. haha saw a drunkard man, some bunch of youngsters ( I believe they are Americans due to their accent). We got back at about 9 plus at night. all of us were tired. Went to shower and slept like a pig....
DAY 4 - Today was search for a house day. K, we took a train and bus to this place called Joonjalup, somewhere in the north. haha it is a remote area far away from Perth city. Know why? Coz they have alot of show houses there! They are all so beautiful! The houses there are not only big...like super big...but also cheap. Papa did talk to some property agents (boy they are all so friendly and helpful) to check the price of settling down there. Joonjalup is near the sea, so ya, it is quite ex as compared to Armadale. We waited rather long for the bus to take us back to Joondalup train station. I got bored and started taking pictures of myself.. hhahaa. When we've arrived at the train station, we went shopping in the shopping centre just beside the shopping centre. Bought some stuff for my friends back in Singapore. We went back to Perth city after that. End of day 4.
DAY 5 - Again went on a train ride to another suburb called Mandurah. It's down south again (same as Fremantle and Armadale). Again beautiful place. Took alot of pretty pictures at by the jetty. There were alot of shops along the walkways, sellings necklaces, pearls, paintings etc...simply beautiful. We ate lunch there, something like a Malaysian Restaurant. Man I miss rice when I was in Perth. It was yummy. Took a bus back to Mandurah train station and all the way back to our hotel in Perth city. We went shopping at Murray Mall Street. ahah bought bags :) In the evening I went out with Papa to buy back dinner for everyone. Bought a few stuff from the sovenir stall.
DAY 6 - Not much that we could do. Ate breakfast then went to do last min shopping. Got another bag, a book and lots of earrings etc at diva! We went back to the hotel after that to wait for our shuttle bus to take us to Perth International Airport. yup
Arrived at Singapore at 905pm. Came home nearly 10pm. Super tired. Tomorrow's another day. School has already started....oh man. okay. haha all in all I love it! I love Australia. The people there are all so hospitable and kind and friendly and sweet... haha I can go on and on...I like it when you walked into a stall and they go "Hello, how are you?", I mean, almost nobdy in Singapore does that. I l oved it when they called you "Dear, sweety, love..." it's so sweet. They have been very kind to my family for the passed 1 week. Really made me realised how much Singaporeans are lacking man. anyway, that's all from me. I got to go sleep now. Tomorrow's another day.
Thank You Perth, Thank You Australia. You have been a blessing for me and my family :)

First post of 2010
First of all, let me wish everyone a HAPPY & BLESSED NEW YEAR! It's finally 2010, wow can't believe it. 2009 has alot of ups and downs but I just want to thank God for always being there for me, for seeing me through. Last semester was 1 of the toughest for me, really hope that next sem (which will begin in about 1 week's time) will be alot better. Seriously, I need to manage my time properly.
Honestly, I can't wait for this year to start. I know that it is going to be exciting and there's so much to expect and to look forward to. I must be ready and strong. I know that my heavenly Father is preparing me for greater things and I want to experience them to the fullest, I believe that He has been training me up for the years ahead. Yup. Hope that I can go on an overseas mission trip. I'm sure there'll be so much to learn and experience. The last time I've been on one was like 2005(freaking long ago!)
Oh yes, I'm so counting down to 5th Jan, because that's the day my family will fly to Perth. It's my third time going to Australia(beautiful country) but my first time to Perth. Somehow flying there is a totally different feeling from all the other trips. Guess some of you darls already know the reason.
Well, Vic left for USA 2 days ago. Hope everything is going well for her. It's going to be an experience of a life time. So excited for her. 6 months is quite a long time to me.
Anyway, that's all I have for you guys today. Have a great 2010 peeps!
