4:10 PM

Finally back from Australia. Wee. It's a eye opening, fun and kudos to the trip! Well, this trip consisted of my sister, my mom and me only. The first time the three of us went for a trip. The Aussies are really friendly, nice and i like the culture there. pretty much that i told mom and sister that i wanna migrate if i ever have a chance! haha.

Some EXPENSIVE facts of life =D
1) 4 double A batteries will set you back about 10-12 Aussies Dollars
2) A bottle of 500ml Coke costs you 3 Aussies Dollars.
3) The cheapest food there is Fast food at 5 aussie dollars (just the food itself, no combo, no set!)

For those who didnt know, On most of the days, most cities in Australia and Perth included will stop operating at 6pm! Well, meaning the shopping malls and stuff will all just BOOM. close. And let me tell you, they are very very punctual on closing their shops.

Well, am just gonna let the pictures do the talking!

All the food first! *drool*puke* haha.

The Aussie's version of Burger King.

From the bottom (clockwise) Rump Steak, Lasagne and Seafood combo. Interestingly, they serve only Tomato Sauce with all their food. UNLESS requested.

Their red and delicious STRAWBERRIES! Red and BIG and juicy and rather cheap. haha. I placed them in champagne glasses and served them to mom and sister. =]

We just had to pose for the strawberries. =D

One of the best lunch we had. outside a small cafe, with nice sausages, burgers and the nice wind chilling us when we sat outside. Like mom says " The sausage is HUGE "

One of our best dinner and the cheaper-est. It was at a corner japanese food restaurant. The udon was ok but the beef was really not bad! They had this cool pager that will beep and flash and vibrate when its your turn to collect your food!

From here onwards, it's gonna be pictures from anywhere, anyway!

The train rides there aint cheap man. 3.20 per pax and it;s like a 30 mins ride from a town to another. Perth to Fremantle (Port city) Hmmm, the cab i have no idea as we didnt take any cause they had free shuttle bus all around Perth. They are the Blue, Red and Yellow Cat. haha.

The next series of pictures are from King's Park & Botanic Garden. They have this really cool thing called the Eternal flame. It never stops burning. The 4 sticks you will see represents the 4 army sectors.

Cool stuff huh? =]

One of the favourite place, it was a toilet break plus taking a look at the beach. Imagine the hot sun on you but at the same time, the cool wind brushing against you. I'm telling you, this is one of the best spot to be in man.

Next, we went to the "Zoo". Heh, i wont considered it being a zoo cause it was a snappy trip. First, the really really cute KOALA!

Then the Hoppy hipsy jumpy Kangaroooos..

The above picture, aint it cute with the kangaroos butt facing you? haha. But the reason i took the photo was because of Miss Brazil. heh. She was all alone on the trip, sat beside my mom and she's from Brazil!

Ciaos, on our way out from the Zoo. =D I just love the road signs. i think i bought a total of like many many road signs as souvenirs and gifts.

Then we travelled to the Pinaccles. It was a very interesting place but all we cared was for more pictures!

Finally, i have reached this part, omg omg omg. I'm telling you, this is the coolest place in the entire trip. It's the 4WD and the Sandboarding activity man. Im telling you, it's really cool. I cant describe it but with pictures.

eh. this is someone else driving their SUV. hahas. We were on the bus. The bus is something that you wont see in Singapore. A 4WD bus. Something interesting, do you know that Australia bred Camels to sell to the Arabians? =D

Sand boarding my way down. I went all the way. Mom got stuck, Sister's first attempt was bad and her second attempt, so crashed into mom. haha. It was really fun. But the climb up was tedious man. totally.

Well, the second last day, we didnt have much to take cause it was shopping shopping and more shopping.

The last day!!! We went on a cruise with Golden Sun Cruise. it was a boring ride but i enjoyed the cruise. I want to own a Yacht!

They've got lovely clouds.

Oh, i forgot to add this section. We went to the Swan Bells near the cruise. it's not bad, but we didnt wanna pay to get to see what's it about but just some nice shots i want to share. Family photo, sister and i being spastic. =D

Well, that's about all. Just kinda dreading as the day draws nearer to 15th december. Time seems to be running out. I just wish, i had the chance to accomplish something in my heart.
