Perth Trip Part 4

07.11.2009 - That day, we went to Fremantle again. CLC was not feeling well the day before but he is better on that day...We had a little funny moment at the parking lot. :p Erm...I often hear from yuanz about Fremantle. About the fish and chips. When we arrived there, we went to the market first. Laura and I splurged on some fridge magnets there. I love the gecko magnet. Want to see the gecko magnet? Come see it at my house la. Anyways... initially we are supposed to try the crepe suzette at the market but we were too full. Then, we got a call from Fiona so... we went to get a crepe suzette to share. Yummy~ I love the sugar and cinnamon combination.

Right after the crepe suzette, we went to Cicerello's for the fish and chips. It is actually just so-so. It was interesting to watch the seagulls dived in for the leftovers. After lunch, we actually wanted to go to Fremantle Prison but changed our plant to do gardening at CLC's backyard. We joked that there might be snake in the backyard. All was fun till I saw a snake-like head in the grass...

Say hello to Mr. Bobtail. It is something like a lizard. Scared all of us..but it is really harmless. Phew...

My hands shakes so much after that. Partly from the shock and mostly because of the gardening. It has been so long since I have done gardening so... to suddenly do so much. My hands just kept shaking.

For dinner, we drove all the way to Mundaring to eat at Little Caesar's - the one we missed on Tuesday.

Quite cold to sit outside and I was wearing short pants. But when the pizzas arrived, not cold anymore la... Hehe... Great pizzas.

08.11.2009 - Final day. We were to leave Perth that night. We went for another round of Dim Sum breakfast. Everything is quite yummy till we ate the fried milk...the last item. Yuck~ It is quite unique. Tasty to those who like it.

We had another round of shopping at Harbor Town but there wasn't much to see anymore. So we were done with the shopping pretty quickly... Then, it was goodbye, Perth City. Took a few pics while the car was moving... Perth Eye and... Bell Tower, I think. Then, we had another round of soft serves...sat on the grass by the river (?) watching people with their water sports... For dinner, it is Chinese style... We had the huge crab...I forgot the name. :p After that... airport. Byebye, Perth~!

09.11.2009 - We arrived early morning at Singapore. Waited for a few hours... Dozed off at the airport. Super sleepy.

By noon, we were back in Miri. Long trip. I didn't get to rest till night time. Had to become my mum's driver.

Muahaha... done~!!

Perth Trip Part 3

05.11.2009 - The day before Laura and I actually wanted to wake up early to go walk and take some house pictures but we overslept. So the next day, we woke up early and went for the intended walk. :D Breakfast was at Fiona's place again. And... we went to Curtin University to have a look around. I could have studied there but I didnt. :p After exploring Curtin, we went to Carousel to shop. :D I finally bought something. A pair of short pants. Hehe... It feels good~
For dinner, we were cooking.... I cooked mixed veggie. My cooking skill is really rusty. Sigh... Ermmhmm... We have love for Illusion...and we found a new love in Perth. Midori. Hehe... Total Midori drank during the Perth trip is 2 bottles nia la...

06.11.2009 - Dim sum for breakfast. Erm... Just so-so nia. After breakfast, we went to Harbor Town to do more shopping. We really took our time there for two main reasons. Reason one is that apart from shopping, we dont have anything else on our itinerary that we can do. Reason two is because there are so much good deals there. We went in almost every single shops and spend money like there is no tomorrow. We finally finished shopping at the Ground Floor and had our lunch, ISPA Kebab, at 330pm. The 1st Floor is less interesting than the Ground Floor so we spent less time to finish exploring it. For dinner, we had Korean food. After the dinner, we walked around Northbridge and ate shaved ice at Icey Ice. Btw, Miri also has this shaved ice. kind of expensive though.

Time to sleep. Need to wake up early tomorrow.

Perth Trip Part 2

Continuance from 02.11.2009 - We decided to buy a loaf of apple strudel to enjoy at King's Park... King's Park is..erm... really nice. haha... Writer's block... It is actually kind of weird to go to a place that I have heard yuanz talk about so much. The feeling is like 'so, this is how it looks like.'
Anyways, the apple strudel... becomes like this. So, we decided not to eat it at King's Park but to bring it back to Fiona's place where we have plates and cutleries. After the pastry eating, we went to the nearby Garden City to shop and then to a McD drive thru for some soft serves and then a walk in the park...Dinner was at Turkish Kitchen. Needless to say, the food was nice~ Yum~ The dinner pretty much concluded the activity for that day.

03.11.2009 - We ...Laura and I...had cookies and milk for breakfast. And then..for lunch, we tapau-ed Jester's pies.Me really like to eat Jester's pie. Very nice... That day, we went to Caversham Wildlife Park. The weather is not nice..because it was so hot~!! And..there were a lot of flies. The kangaroos are kind of cute... I thought I would be scared to see kangaroos up close but... turned out that I am alright... But the disgusting part is that owl... To see it swallow the lower part of a mice in front of me (I was less than a metre from it) was kind of disgusting. The shearing of the sheep was also kind of fun to watch. Took a video of the process. :D But the file is too big..very hard to upload...The video-taking took quite a bit of my battery power. But it is very clear lo... After the wildlife park, we went to look at vineyard...and then Margaret River Chocolate Factory (where we stole some freebie chocolate chips)... Then... our plan was actually to eat dinner at Little Caesar's but when we arrived there, the place is closed...because it is their offday on Tuesday. So, instead of having the world's best pizza, we went to Alfred's Kitchen to have Perth's best burgers. :p

04.11.2009 - That morning, we had breakfast at Fiona's place. After breakfast, we went to Garden City to shop. My shopping craze hasn't really started yet. Then..for lunch, we ate at Little Creatures in Fremantle. And then...visited Freo Round House and also ate Ilgelato ice cream and visited Cottesloe Beach... Weather too hot. Want to faint~ Dinner time! Ciao Italia~ Yummy Bruschetta... Yummy pasta... Yummy Tiramisu... Yummy Strawberry Custard... Hehe...Ah... After the dinner, we went to Mill's Point to enjoy the night view of the city (?) I cant think of what to elaborate here so...Ok... That's all for now... You need to scroll up for Part 3. Hehe...

Perth Trip Part 1

I know I am late. I should have quickly arrange the pictures and blog about it... But I seems to be so left behind on so many things that I don't know which one to start doing first.

01.11.2009 - The three of us set out for Singapore and expecting to transit at the airport for about 6 hours. I believe the initial plan was to wait at the airport but we went out to have lunch and even did a bit of shopping. The bacon stick is seriously fat..hehe... adding weight before arriving at Perth.
Arrived at Perth... Got stopped at the immigration for not knowing the address of the place we are staying. Then... luggage completely searched through as well. Finally, we stepped out of Perth International Airport...into the cold night. Ohmigosh... It is totally like the time I went to New Zealand. According to our itinerary, we are supposed to go have supper at Fast Eddy's. I only had a cup of hot chocolate though. First night at Perth...A bit not used to the stillness in the air. But the combination of blanket and the coldness of the night is so nice~~

02.11.2009 - We started our day with Hungry Jack's brekky set. Breakfast in the car while on our way to the city.Maybe it is because of the fact that I keep converting the price to ringgit, I cant find anything to buy!!I would like to believe that there is nothing much to shop too. The weather is still quite cool so it was really nice to shop that day. For lunch, we had Vietnamese food.The downer for the Ho Fun I had is that it has bean sprouts in it. urgh...

After lunch, we went on a car trip to see houses. i have no idea where are we driving around but I know one thing. The houses are really nice. We stopped at this place to look around and it was so hot but with cooling air.
An abrupt stop to the post... Still havent got to doing collages for the rest of the day. Sweat. Shall work on it!!

Perth

Online on a Mac at the moment. Super hard to use. think I want to change to the desktop to online.

Kind of tired actually. Been out whole day today. I think I had too much chocolate today - at the Margaret River Chocolate Factory.

Okie... Going to quickly check my Facebook now. Hahaha

Just finish packing

I am flying off to Singapore in a few more hours and I just finish packing. Haha... Took me about 2 hours to do the whole packing business. :P

I promise I will come back with loads of pics. Found another empty 2G memory card. So I have total of 10G memory. 9 days... No problem!!

Good night~

Excitement

I am so excited.... I can just feel the excitement building up. I cant wait to go to Perth. Just need to start packing my stuff. But I think I will most likely pack last minute. Haha.. A bad habit.

Then, there is also that drinking date... Kilkenny~!

It's on my birthday!!

After Irene mentioned to me about New Moon, I suddenly decided to check out when it will be released....It's on my birthday!!! I want to watch it on my birthday!!!

Last night, I went to Opi De Beaute's 10th Anniversary Masquerade Night. Err... My brain is not functioning at the moment...so cant seems to think of what to say. And so... The pics are with Jac, Jessy and Kelly....

Jac and I 'langgar' purse. Before the dinner, we talked about what we will use as purse and didnt realise that we were talking about the same type of purse. Hers is black and mine is purple... :D

Bunny Ears

I have no idea why and how. But I promised to make a pair of bunny ears for Laura to wear during Halloween. Probably because I saw these two girls who posted in the blog on how to make bunny ears and it looks cool. I admit that despite of my interest in such stuff, I am not good in making them. Haha... Initially I hope to get some black lace to make the ears but I couldnt find any. I myself was also not really exactly trying very hard to look for it. So intead of black lace, I purchased this black satin ribbon instead. I already have the wires so... roughly, the cost for this pair of bunny ears is RM6. Cheap~~

Err... I will get someone to give me an opinion on this bunny ears. Hehe... the ears are not really aligned to the centre. They are actually slanting to the side. Didnt realised it till I secured it to the band. :p And then the sewing is really bad.... Sigh... And i feel like lace would be nicer...sexier...Haha...

From Monday, Laura and I have been going back home together in my car... We have been jogging walking at the park for this past five days. Something like attempting to exercise to slim down be more healthy. Hope this will last...

Gee.... I feel fat~!!

The long awaited item - Crocs

I bought Adara in Chocolate & Cotton Candy and Malindi in Plush. Bought it online from a blogshop... At a cheaper price. Finally... I have a pair of Crocs... I still have the Malindi...

Unfortunately, Adara is too tight for me. My feet looks like an elephant leg trying to wear a strappy heels. Ugly. It is weird that although it is in my size, my feet is so ... constrained by it. So, I sold it off on the spot to Aunt Nora... Haha...

Malindi is just so cute~~ Going to wear it to work tomorrow. Hahaha....

Wait a moment

Wait for it... I am waiting for the arrival of something... Just wait patiently...

BBQ Session

Deepavali is celebration for Festival of Lights, if I remember correctly. The office people (not all but just almost half of us) went to Taman Selera to have BBQ.

Somehow, this is always the case during BBQ... To starve ourselves first before the BBQ officially begins. By starving ourselves, I meant that we skipped breakfast. So..when the sandwich arrived, all of us ate sandwich first.
So...anyways, introducing our raw food...well, part of the BBQ food. Thanks to Carol for adding some delicious satays to our menu...and also thanks to Uncle Chua for the langsats and fresh prawns (not in picture).
And then... the food on the grill. The arrangement of the food on the grill looks so nice... everyone is so pro~
The finished product... As you can see, we are not entirely carnivorous that day. We also have some veggies, that are french beans and mushrooms. Oh wait! We also have marshmallows~~So happy to see that the pork that I marinated is such a good demand...
Know what is the most annoying thing that can happen if one go to beach to BBQ? Sandflies bites. Introducing the insect repellant. But I still suffer from it... Just one bite. Well, I think it is sandfly's bite. Not so sure. :p Also from ant bite. Darn...

Later of the BBQ session, we tried to take a group photo. But... it was kind of disasterous because number one - not everyone who attended the BBQ are in the pic and number two - the photographer is very lousy. We ended up with these shots...
Err... I have no comment.

Mum's DIY Project

From the day we moved into our home, we have been using the same set of curtains. Recently, Mum and Dad decides to change the curtains. And... Mum decides to go DIY on the curtains. She started her 'assault' on the 1st floor curtains.

Ladies and gentlemen, presenting the curtains in my room and my brother's room.

Please take note that each curtain is from different windows. Top left is mine. Top right and bottom are from JY's room. You probably notice that the one of the top right is ... shorter than the window. You definitely didnt notice this next fact... the sewn-on curtain rope is so high up the curtains that I have to stand on tiptoe in order to tie up the curtains.

Ah..yes, I do believe this is a failure DIY project.... and there is still the Ground Floor curtains. Oh no....

Preparation Work

Marinated the chicken and the pork. Tomorrow night I will prepare the veggie and then BBQ time!!

I think I put too much sugar btw... I am super sleepy now~

Gotta do something

I was reminded to update my blog more often. I have not been blogging as often as I had been last year. So, here I am.

The wedding fever has died off...for me. Continuous attending four weddings is something new. Apart from being one of the jiemeis, I also attempted an amateurish wedding photography during Joanna and Jong's wedding day.
Although both CI and I didn't think we went overboard with our 'Block and Torture the Groom', the groom seems to hold some grudge towards us for draining him of angpows. :p

Currently in the office. Lunch break. Want to sleep actually. :p

Lazy Sunday

Yesterday, I had a rummy session with J and CI. I was losing so badily at first until... I got this. Total win from this is 21 chips (if I remember correctly).Totally turned the game around. I just kept winning after that. Phew... What a relief after the losing streak at the beginning of the game.

I have been thinking to zhng my masquerade mask. But always procrastinate so this morning, I purposely took out my impulse-shopping crystal bling sheet. Took out the masquerade mask and start sticking the blings on it.
As you can see from the pic, I basically have stick one long line of blings on the mask. That's the end of the zhng session. I dunno what else to do. Haha... No idea how to proceed on.

About the digicam, I was worried that my laptop will not detect the SD card. My laptop has such problem with SD card. They are not on friendly terms. Fortunately, the laptop can detect the pics thru the cable (still not ok with the direct SD card to laptop) so... I dont have to worry about retrieving my pictures from the digicam. Will totally kill my happiness of getting a new digicam if my laptop cant retrieve pics from it. :p

Just had lunch at Lynns. Currently thinking of what to do for the whole afternoon. 7pm is booked for tv time.

As mentioned

My new toy. Finally, after all these years, I bought my own digital camera. happy~

A bit disappointed about the fact that it can only take up to 10 megapixels picture but I convinced myself that it is not a big issue. I dont need any bigger than 10 megapixels. 10 megapixels is just fine.

When I held it in my hands, it felt like it is the one. Hehe...

First event to use this is probably the Masquerade Dinner that I will be attending soon. Looking forward to loads of photo-taking.

New Toy

Very soon, I shall obtain a new toy. Cant wait. Muahaha...

Anyways, attended a seminar today. Tried my best to stay interested and awake.

My entire mind is on that new toy. Can't think of anything else.

I did it...yesterday

After long consideration and waiting for confirmation, I finally did it.

The End
