04 Seagulls at Sunset

Since I have said I will finish my posts of the Perth trip before the end of the year...This folder has been sitting on my desktop for the past....6months? Last post: 16 July 2009. LOL And I am awake now.



Freemantle Post.



Hahahahaha, I remember this is the start of it all. The day when we started getting sluggish. Said we would wake around 10AM, but laid in bed till 11AM plus. Yenching didn't dare to come into the room at all, she heard no sounds of movements from our room, though that we were all asleep and didn't want to wake us. Only left the house after 12 noon, if I remember correctly.










Food first. The food was damn good, the fish was damn nice and fresh. I loved the squid. I don't like clam chowder at all, but remembered Angela saying it's nice and thick. The view was too die for as well. It was so peaceful, looking out at the water, feeling the warmth of the sun and the cool sea breeze. Not to mention, good company too. Crapping and yapping away.



Please don't feed the seagulls or they will s.o.y. (shit on you). Just after I took this shot, a seagull landed on the post and shit right on the spot. Gross. Luckily, we was still waiting for them to get our food ready then. The seagulls are really ruthless. Once a table's occupants left the table, many of them immediately landed on the table to attach the leftovers. Not leaving till the cleaners take her tray to swap at them. LOL




Rail tracks. LOL Functioning railroad too. Too bad we didn't get to see any train passing through.



And there was a stupid bird. It was just circling itself round and round on the branch that it's sitting on. We stood there for at least 5 minutes, and that was all that it was doing. Good entertainment after a hearty meal~~



Picture. Man...I think this is the only trip where people don't really have to nag me into taking group photos. I miss the weather. I dressed up in the the type of clothes I like. And my hair was damn long, hahahahaha, I didn't sweat buckets like I usually do, my face was not oily. Hai...



Random photo that I always like taking...



Cold Rock! We had such a fun time choosing what we wanted to have mixed in. And I loved watching the process where they chopped up the fillings then meshing it in. Someone takes me to the place in Holland Village...



Gates. So whimsy. And I don't know who was that random angmoh inside my photo.






I love this set of photos taken by Yenching. A candid shot of me stoning at my shoes while Angela chatted to JY. I think Yenching really managed to capture the feeling of us being on vacation, lazing away on the grass as the Perth native does. The colour of the sky. Such a clear blue, with nary a cloud to mess up the stretch of blue. Seriously, it was so peaceful just laying on the cool grass and staring up into the sky.





More pictures.













Sunset! Hai...We climbed all the way to the Harbour Top. At this hour, the temperature was just starting to drop but we have such a nice quite time just watching the sunset. There was this other group there who got beer and set there taking pictures, drinking and laughing away. ^__^



Me. If I can sit, I won't stand. If I can sleep, I won't sit.






On our way back. Just after, we came to this shop where they are selling baby milo jackets at very cheap pricing. I got two for aud70.





Dinner time. I didn't really like this, but Angela and JY think that it is not bad. I took the one that is not spicy at all, and it taste quite sour. Angela and JY ate chicken with the slightly spiced sauce, which they think is not bad. Tried, too spicy for me. Hence I didn't even tried Yenching's who ate spiciest type. Just looking at the colour scares me. LOL

03 The Beginning of it All II

Margaret River Chocolate Company! Rows and rows of chocolate just beckoning me towards them. The moment we stepped in, my jaw dropped and saliva just start pooling.



Just to the left of the entrance, there were these three huge bowls filled with chocolate. MILK, WHITE and DARK. Free for trying. Immediately walked over and start trying them out, then proceed to spooned some out and dished them out to JY and Angela.

So good~ Their dark chocolate is not so much as bitter, but just very very rich. Cropped my face out of the pic, because the consitpated look on my face may distract some from the three bowls of beauty.



They also have a ice-cream stand there, with flavors that sounds sinfully good. Of course I could not resist. SINFUL. That's the only word that can describe this place. After trying my ice-cream, Angela and JY gave in to the allure of it as well. "So good, try it. So sinful. You can buy other flavours then we share." WHAHAHAHA, if I get any fatter, so should the both of them.




I believe they were making toffee at that time. Could not really snap a good photo of the process because of the glass window. In the first photo, the machine was rolling out these small balls, covered in dripping wet chocolate onto the white conveyer belt. . .I would imagine that they would be all warm and filled with so much richness. What wouldn't I give to become a employee here? Nothing, I would give my firstborn up to work there. Nothing at all.



Posing with their ice-cream, I finished mine long before. Off to the vineyard~




Group photo at Lancester Wine vineyard. The view is just picturesque. The fields just stretches out endlessly, with the wooden shed standing solo in the middle. The owners poured us two types of wine, which I cannot remember the names for them and I am too lazy to walk out to the living room right now to look at the bottles. One rose wine and another - dessert wine. Tasted pretty good to me, none of those bitter aftertaste to them at all.




LOL....Living the high life, sipping wine, buying them by the carton. LOL Too bad that Angela broke one of her just a few day back. No worries dude, you can go online and get a replacement. LOL check out their site - lancasterwines.com.au LOL






Once again, I marvel at the wonder of this place. The sun is shinning down brightly, yet it's just a nice warmth to it due to the cool breeze just brushing against our cheeks. Hai, life is good.





Fell asleep on the bus on our way back to the city area. We returned earlier than expected, had lots of fun taking the my "arty-farty" shots of them. I really love these kind of photos, where one cannot really see where is the location. It could be in Perth, Paris or even back home here in Singapore. Really feels that it gives off the feel of an international jet-setter.





Yenching returned, picked us up and we made our way back to the suburbs. LOL, that's the stick indicating the timings of the bus arrivals. I really do not understand why they would have numerous bus-stands stretched out along a side of the road just spaced one meter apart. Do they really have that much land in Australia that they need to resort to this to made this place seems less empty? Rather like my seemingly cocky look in the first photo. Well, seems like I can never pose decently enough, cocky is perfectly acceptable. xD






Trying out their boots in their marts. LOL, seems like some boots really do make the legs seems longer. JY was so pleased with her legs we caught her staring at her own photo inside her phone many times! LOL vain pot. Dragged Yenching into wearing this furry pair, and took her photo without her permission. LOL Hahaha




End of the day. Staying up late, chatting into the wee hours of the morning became our daily thing. We would just be firming down our plans for the next day or playing a simple game of UNO and soon later it would turn into as girls' chat session. LOL
