perth day 2

Met up with Gloria today, she's back from Melbourne. lols. Walked around vivo, Singapore is as boring as ever. What more can I say. Let's move on....

PERTH DAY 2


Off from boring Singapore to Perth day 2. It was our 7th month, time flies.
Went to the market in the morning.. as I said we're staying at my dad's friend's place, so my dad bought stuff to cook instead of eat-out! A singaporean sold yogurts there!! Really good. Can't find it in Singapore. It ain't available :( Saw huge mushroom!! haha (: After the market we went to load off the food before going to the wildlife park!


Super excited about the wildlife park as I finally get to touch Kangaroo and Koala! :D Reached then explored around wallaby, various birds.. flying fox. Oh yea! The flying fox looks like a bat!! Except that it's not. I really can't tell the difference. Haha.


Saw owl that reminded me of "The Legend of the Guardians". Owls look the same eh?! White as anything, and they really look the same. Not cartoon-like in the movies. LOL.



After the owls section was the Kangaroos!!! Stayed for a while, took pictures and fed the Kangaroos! :D The kangaroos do bite! But not on purpose though, they just thought it was food. Heh. They're really cute!!! ^^ and I never thought that kangaroos would come in white!!



At the kangaroo area there was a peacock! and was proud. lols it spread up and it looked beautiful!! Proud Peacock. Don't be a peacock. haha.



Procceeded to see other animals! Met a donkey and my dad was engrossed with it! Haha. Kept playing with the donkey!! It's really funny to see the donkey's reaction after we "played" with it! Oops! =X



In the same area there was a huge fat pig!!!! It seemed like it's obese, or anyone can see it's obese! HAHA. Really super fat!!! Looks like it can't move, but I think it can. We were not allowed to feed it. LOL!


Koalas was our last stop!!! Didn't get to carry any, not allowed to. They were all sleeping!!!! We were told that they sleept 20 hours a day!! Only a few were awake. Sadly. But they're still cute!!! :D


You might think that after spending so long at the wildlife park, we were done with the day. But no! It was only 12plus in the afternoon!! We scanned through the wildlife park quite quickly. So up next was the winery at Swan Valley! Learned how the winery works and which period they brew their wines and had wine tasting. Only tasted 1 kind of wine though, on the sly. They're strict with the regulations!!! Elton, my bro and I were underage so we couldn't be invovled in the wine tasting :( So wasted, my birthday is just 2 months and a few days away!
Nvm, I still got to taste the wine in the end though, but a smaller variation ^^

Next up was a chocolate factory!! Wasn't as I expected, thought it would be an eye opener. But it was just another chocolate shop with their chocolate processing at the back in the kitchen. All and all, it was rather cool! The chocolates tasted good. Baby bought me a chocolate that said "I love you". I forgot to take a whole pic of it, but I did take one of me biting it! (: [haven't uploaded to com yet]

After the chocolate factory we procceeded back home. By the time we got home it's about 5pm anyway, shops would have been closed. So yupp! That's about it. 3rd day another time!
7th month was spent well with kangaroos and koalas and you! (:

perth!

PERTH! ♥

Okays, first of all I know I might just be slaughtered for this post cos I'm suppose to be sleeping. But I'm still gonna post cos I feel like it :P

Holidays were just like going out before 2 Dec, exploring the boring Singapore. Went to Perth from 2 Dec - 9 Dec and spent quite a great time there!! Slept the first day off somehow.. heh. so wasted, but good in a way. You'll know why soon.


View from the plane (:



Darling and I :D


Reached Perth, then procceeded to my dad's friend's house where we'll be staying (leaving the picture for the end). Slept the day away, by the time we woke up it was too late as all shops/entertainment places closed at 5pm. So we just went to explore tourist locations intro-ed to us;


Bell Tower, Really tall!! I think people actually hold graduation ceremonies near there around the dining area as we saw one group of people!! Can take ferry to I forgot which place too. Haha. Nice scenery!! Younger bro wanted to enter the tower for a view but it was closed already. A pity but at the same time, I didn't feel like going up, so I guess it's okay? :P


Bell Tower


Sea breeze. COLD!

Near dining areas.. did I mention, this small fountain stopped when I wanted to take picture at the other platform. Then the rest laughed at me :(


Next was King's Park. It's really big, so didn't walk around the whole thing. It's alot bigger than Singapore's Botanic Gardens. LOL! Yupp. So we only walked around where we alighted. There was a memorial for people who faught during the war long long long time ago, with a flame in the middle. Further down, you could view a great scenery of almost half the city! Looked a bit like Singapore with all the lights etc.


The grass is cold!

With baby ^^

Credits to Elton Sim, he says I don't take good pictures =.=

We didn't know where else to go, so as introduced we went to sight see some street that has pubs that opens only on weekends. Didn't get down to walk around the street though, was very late already and dark!! So just took a tour in the van, but I ended up sleeping! Oops!! Was quite tired already lah. Didn't take any pics of this area too.

Last stop was the casino/Intercontinental Hotel. Was told that 17 and above could enter so wanted to go and see how is it like. WHO KNOWS! END UP MUST BE 18 AND ABOVE TO ENTER. So we went to enquire about the various places we wanted to visit. Wildlife Park (where the K&Ks are!), Horse Riding, Winery etc etc. Was a fun and tiring day!!!

Day 2 up next, long post. I'm gonna sleep now! Am suppose to be sleeping like a pig, but I thought it's time for me to update about my holiday so far! [hope I can wake up early tmr :/ hee]
