Yes... I'm back from Perth and I have finally ORD-ed. It feels kind of wierd to have finally left the service. Its like I have been waiting for a million years for the day to come and when it finally came, I feel lost. =X I guess its the staying at home with nothing much to do that sort of kill the joy of it all. Oh well...

And so I had an enjoyable trip in Perth. Though the nights were kind of boring with A$5 ripped off of me for using the internet, it is still worth it especially with the great company around. The things I bought back weren't exactly enough but come to think of it, if there were more people with me, I could have tong bang stuff on their luggage because my total baggage weight exceeded 4kg. Haaaa... I feel so paiseh... Nonetheless, its a great experience to have done something like this alone. Sort of train me to be independent and stuff. And it is through this experience that I sort of overcome the fear of sitting planes... Haaa... Praise God! Yay!! Fulfilling trip indeed. Big thank you to Andre and Wen and Friends!! =)

Here are some of the photos taken... mostly scenaries though...

Wow wow wow... I feel extremely tired now! I went to sleep at about 2 +am (Perth time) last night... Went for Supper with Andre, Wen and their friends at Concas after their mah jong game. The chilli mussels there are good!! Even I, who don't eat mussels at all, loved it! But the place is dangerous at night because all sorts of people go there. At least we were back safely =)

I thought that I that I will be fine after the beach outing but no no no, I was so wrong. I'm having a very bad sun burn on my nose now. And its only on my nose... No where else. I wonder why. I look like rudolph now... wahaha... And the sun burn is sort of making me feel feverish and I'm having the flu now... booo... At least I'm well enough to walk about... Thank God!

Yesterday's BBQ was very cold, literally. The wind was blowing and blowing and the sun came and went. Even with the sun, it was still extremely cold! But it was definitely fun! BBQ by the riverside... Nice scenary and weather. Its an electric BBQ by the way. Free for all to use. No charcoal no fire starter needed. How convenient! Love the environment man.

Fremantle is interesting. The sunday market sells lots souvenirs and stuff. Wen recommended the crepes there and they are indeed yummy! I had the nutella with marshmellow crepe. The taste of melted marshmellow together with the nutella is so so so wonderful! But its heaty though... Haha... Then we went to a huge restaurant to have fish and chips. By now I am sooo afraid of fries that I would probably abstain from fries for a whole month or 2 when I'm back at Singapore. Wahaha... But the food there is great no doubt. Took many many photos today... Will post them up when I am back. Tomorrow is zoo day!! And I will be visiting the famous swan bell tower. Can't wait man... Flying back this coming wednesday!! SOOO looking forward to it! =)
