Annyonggg!

On the first day I arrived, Lisa took me for Korean Dinner!
We had bibimbap, kimchi pancake, and beef bulgogi! YUMMY.

Sarah, Yin Hong and I at this cafe where we had the most sinful
ice chocolate shakes with ice cream and whip cream!

Public Toilet near the Perth Convention Centre! Opens like a lift,
then classical music starts to play, theres the washing basin where soap,
water and the hand dryer automatically operates. Below is the toilet bowl
and there's the toilet roll machine where you've to press the blue button for
toilet paper!

By the esplanade which was FREEZING COLD!

I thought this was some monument until I look carefully and realised
it was a Sun Dial!

The background is the bell tower and does anyone spot two starfish? ;D

The above 3 pictures were taken in Oyster Bar!
There's Irene and I. We met 5 years ago in this Shanghai tour trip and
then lost contact. Then coincidentally, we were on the same flight to Perth,
also placed in the same row of seats so TADAA!

This is in a Japanese restaurant; Hanami!
The food was good and I loved how the napkins were folded! Creative!

Tudung Lady & I!
We met online through my bestie, and our parents know each other, but
we never met face to face since he's in Perth and I'm in KK. And we lost contact
for 3 years but ngam ngam he found my email and messaged me on the day
I was to leave for Perth. So we arranged to meet up and we clicked off well :)

WAFFLES WITH RUM RAISIN GELATO, WHIP CREAM & MAPLE SYRUP.

Superbly delicious.
& yours truly was a very happy girl that day.

Youth Steamboat dinner! Yummy but not enough!

The Perth Royal Showgrounds Map!

Bulldogs from a bulldog competition which we watched for a while.

Homeless dogs- SUPER ADORABLE.

I took a photo with this silver angel lady and then after thanking her,

she suddenly sprinkled stardust on my shoulder!

An acrobatic show we watched which was really good! This super flexible girl
was bending her body into all kinds of positions, at the same time, balancing
lighted candles on its holder all over her body! She's good! Didn't manage to
take other pictures since I would have to use flash, and my flash seemed pretty
disturbing to the performers who definitely needed 100% concentration for the
stunts they pulled! My fave performance was one done by this 14 year old girl!

This bird kept running so I couldn't get a clear picture. But she looks like she
has a brain tumour eh or a beehive hairstyle ;D

Aren't the pigs just sooo adorable especially their curly tails?
Crispy barbequed pork! :S

Aww.. "And pigs might fly". The famous quote from Babe!

A sleeping Brahman bull!

Hidden behind Hsiao Wui and Lisa is Jean; a highland cattle!
She is 18 months and is VERYYYY HUGE.

The baby chicks had like their little own playground where they had to sit
on the seats and the circle thingy would spin and spin and the chicks would
scream: WHEEEE!

A show bag station where lisa bought two showbags in which I had to carry
1 back and IT NEARLY BROKE MY SHOULDER O.O

Jie and I resting on the benches of this cooking show place (below picture)

A lady chef was preparing for a show later on. Too bad we missed it since
the cooking show was like 1/2 hour later and we wanted to explore around.

Freebiees! Debby! Freebies ;D This ice cream was GOOD.

The above three pictures are taken in this Scary House show in the Perth Royal Show.
Didn't go for the ride cause it costed 8 bucks per entry and I'm not easily scared by
this sorta thing. It was some 3D show which both Lisa and Hsiao Wui did go and well,
Lisa said it was interesting, and some people did scream their lungs out!

Sari and my jie! One of the nights, we were invited by Sari for a

Hari Raya dinner! It was an awesome experience as I've always wanted to see
how it was like to attend a Hari Raya dinner celebration! The food was good,
ESPECIALLY the delicious honey chicken with spices!

On Friday, when my sister had to work, went to visit the Art and National Musuem.
Got really inspired in the Art Musuem. Too bad I wasn't allowed to take photos of
the art pictures exhibited in the musuem!

Miss Grace why are you sulking?! Get Joyce to give you some joy!

Grace: Take a photo of me and my new purse! I love my new purse!
Dont you think its so pretty ;) (beams like a sweet innocent kid)

Mel, Joyce, Ms Bones and Debby!

Allison, Serene, Amanda, Lilian and I in Utopia after dinner!

Theresa and I!

Serene attempting her first shot at the miniature golf course! The first hole,
Serene completed in just 2 SHOTS, my sister in 3 and me :( in 7! But after a while,
I started improving and finished one hole in 2 shots!

Yam with fried onions on top, fried rice, chicken wing, herbal egg, pizza slice,
chinese style hot dog, salted veggie with pork hamburger and a slice of rich
chocolate cake (which has been eatened already).

LUNCH TIME. Lunch period is always my fave fave fave. In fact, all meal times
are my favourite. Haha. Lunch that day was good!

My jie caught us all in action when we were laughing and yeah,
this photo is one of my fave's cause everyone looks so fresh and natural!

Esther, Joyce and I :) My whacky RED teammates!

Jordon, Jie and Debby! Guess how old Jordon is?!
He looks around 16-19 ish right BUT HE'S ONLY 13 YEARS OLD.
SO FREAKING YOUNG o.O

Mel and I!

Ken helping me get drinking water :)

Take 1: My jie and a trying-to-look-seductive Serene.

Take 2: And naughty Amanda decides to push Serene's face,
not to mention her lips on my jie's cheeks! Tsk tsk!

Allison and Amanda. I think? Okay, I'm confused now.
I think Allison is the one on the left, and Amanda the one on the right :S

Dinner at a BBQ Pork coffee shop after the maze! Entering the shop immediately
reminded me of how much I missed bbq-ed pork. CRISPY PORK=YUMMYYY.

Went out with Yin Hong and Sarah one last time before I left!
We stuffed ourselves with mexican food, gulped boost juice and ended
with yummy waffles with rum raisin gelato ice cream at Gelares!
Back home's waffles with rum raisin gelato is NO WHERE CLOSE to Aussie's one!

Eva; Lisa!

Wall-E; Me! Okay, I should have looked more sad.

My sister took me to Freemantle to walk around and get inspired!
However, we covered the whole place pretty quickly so we decided to watch Wall E!
Although the movie has no "solid" plot, but there were many scenes that were very
touching! To remember the movie, my sister and I decided to impersonate
Eva and Wall E ;) Haha.

WA's No. 1 Fish and Chips with vinegar and salt in Cicerella's! Delicious!
And chili mussels with bread! It was good but I got full too fast since I had
fried chili squid tentacles while waiting for everyone! Sigh, sad case didn't
get to take a group photo with everyone who went for the dinner!
*Ken, send to me the group photo that you managed to take yeah!

Lunch before rock climbing in a Korean coffee shop near Myers.
Icey Ice fruit smoothies and bibimbap! Delicious but too filling!
Dear Serene treated us lunch and jie treated the drinks!

Debby celebrating with us over her successful rock climb! Haha.

Lisa's favourite picture of the day! Serene: I can fly!!

Lisa trying to Karate Kick Serene and Serene being very happy about it ;D

Sigh! During rock climbing, my camera just had to have some emotional problems
of its own so as you can see, the above few pictures are not that great. But had a
lot of fun climbing though it seriously caused great pains to my arms the next day!!

Well, as you know, dear Debby, Serene and my sister sent me off!
Here's photos of us abusing the stuff toy animals in the tourist shop in the airport.
Good thing the shop staff didn't kick us out!

The above two pictures are of me cutting my mannequins hair ;D
This hairstyle is pretty easy and as you can see, the end result is a complete
layered hairdo on the whole head. Hadn't blown my mannequin's hair dry,
so the hair style looks like a bed-messy, tousled hairstyle look.

Last Friday, washed, cut and blowed Deniz's hair in the saloon! It felt great!
At first, I was pretty scared that I'd screw up, but yeah, Deniz kept encouraging me
to relax and said nevermind if I made a mistake since her hair is long and still can grow back! Cut a convex hairstyle for her and did pointing and slicing so that her hair would have a softer look! Doesn't she look sooo pretty ;)

Anyway, Deniz left on Sunday noon and I konked out the rest of the day.
Only today I've finally "recovered" from my Perth trip. Weird!
Today, went to school to take photograph, then went for hairdressing class!
Washed, blowed and styled Wilson's hair and got know him better!
Made friends with the new student; Rowena and she's pretty quiet.

Work was good, told my boss/friend that she's SCARY.
We reviewed the market survey and report I conducted and wrote and I
did a GREAT job ;D as she says, BUT except for one shop which wasn't as
detailed as the others. That particular shop was hard to do my research eh!
The man kept following me around and there were SO MANY THINGS in the
shop so I had a hard time memorizing the prices and taking note of all the stuff
sold in his shop. Tough life ;(

Well, to end off, SIGH. I got a call today asking whether I was interested
in joining the crew of this British Company who's coming down to film
in Gayana Island this plane crash scene. There's a total of 60 people in the
crew of which there's 25 actors/actress! I've been asked whether
I wanna act as the locals! There will be people from Jakarta, KL, Tokyo,
Seoul, Hong Kong, and UK. We'll be staying in Gayana Island Resort throughout
the filming time. BUT THE HORRIBLE TROUBLE IS, it's from next Tuesday
till Friday and I'm off to KL on Wednesday. GRRRRRRR!

Saddening -.-''
Well this has been a looong post so that's all! xoxo.
