Silence Speaks

innocence - avril lavigne

yay i love this song by avril lavigne. duno what's the "yay" for, but feel like typing a "yay" to start things up. haha really got to like it from Perth. i put my Creative to shuffle and yet i hear this song every day.

anyway. point of today's entry was to share more about the Perth getaway, which I'm going into after sharing a super dumb incident that happened to me earlier.

went to the library as planned after breakfast. did some snooping on the net last night, and targeted some books and pinpointed their location. went to the library with a goal and an end in mind. i think I'm too efficient. i only spent like half an hour to 45mins combing the entire teens fiction section for my books. got like 7 books on hand and i was ready to go. then guess what? i realised i had left the house stupidly without bringing my library card out. so noob please. but just to clear things up, incidents like that do not happen much to me. i repeat, do not. they just do, say once in a blue moon. rang mummy dearest up, and thank god she was able to save me from my pitiful sorry plight. waited patiently for my saviour to arrive for say near an hour, and meantime, i spent the time reading no wait, finishing a book. she came and we left. haha

i think i better do it in point form, if not this entry would be super duper long.

Day 1 (22)
-on board SQ 223
-there were so many choices to choose from, hsm2 (hahaha), hairspray, transformers, stardust, i now pronounce you chuck and larry and etc
-caught license to wed and the ending of stardust again, cos it was sweeet
-checked in Citigate
-mmm. the hotel we resided in bkk was more nicely furnished and spacious
-free to roam around after checking in
-checked out an italian restaurant, and damn the food was gooood. esp the cream spaghetti and the stove-baked hawaiian-alike flavoured pizza. freakingg niccee

Day 2 (23)
-visited Raeburn Fruit Orchard
-Farm Stay at Spring Hill
-given a mini tour on the farm
-got to watch a live show of "wool-ing" of the sheep
i think i prefer my dolly the sheep with wool. it seemed quite harsh to shave off their only protection from the cold, leaving them to fend for themselves
-fed goats
-fished
-petted chicken
-played with Ollie the collie
sounds funny. haha
-saw a combined harvester with my own eyes!

Day 3 (24)
-breakfasted at farm then bade farewell ):
in no particular order; visited
-Swan Valley chocolate outlet where they sell super expensive chocolates. but i had say, a free scoops of free samples. aiya the ugly sg-an in me lah hahaha. they had some interesting prints on tee shirts which i was oh-so-tempted-but-can't-bring-myself-to-ask-my-parents-to-get-it-for-me. ):
-Houghton winery for wine tasting
-Caversham wildlife park, where i petted a koala, attempted to feed kangaroos.
okay, at this point, i feel compelled to share the kangaroo feeding experience. i grabbed a handful of feeds and approached the kangaroos. they had 2 species there, the white and the normal one. haha anyway. i was scared, frightened or whatever you say, like mad, cos i was afraid they would box me or just deliver a punch or kick to me with their powerful muscular arms, legs, and tail. i think they could smell the sweat off my hand. haha so it sorta ruined their lunch snack. so frustrating cos on one hand i really wanted them to feed from my hand like they did to WJ!!! but on the other, i was terrified. i threw the unfed feed on the ground in a moment of desperation and resignation. haha which i came to regret later cos the donkey there feed on the same feed.

Day 4 (25)
-visited Perth Mint
-witnessed the gold pouring demonstration. ultimate coolness.
-found a cute machine that weighs your worth literally. i was worth, 1.7million odd. hahahaha anyway your worth is relative to your weight. so if you're heavier, you'll worth more. lol
-visited some nature parks and memorial places which were really food to the soul. the sights were so amazing. simply, beautiful.
-shopped at Habour Town
HT is a terrific place to shop. it's like a shopping haven by itself, with diners around, toilets located every corner.

Day 5 (26)
-visited the Pinnacles, it's amazing how nature evolves with time. and more amazing what nature can do.
-and sand dunes
-tried sand boarding, which was fun fun and fun. it was difficult trying to recover though. hard work!

Day 6 (27)
-time to go home ):
-checked out and left the luggage at the concierge while we went for more shopping.
-went to this duno-where within walking distance of Citigate which sorta resembles Robinson's or Metro in SG. got my polo tee there then we set off for Habour Town again. Levi's was still having its 50%. muahahah got myself another Levi's and other clothes from there. Had subway for lunch. hahaha i still prefer SG's to Australia's. had Gelare for dessert. hahah yes fat i know. sinful i know! but oh-so-tempting, how to resist! they had the tuesday special as well. so yup, end up indulging in a chocolate ice cream on waffle. hahaha its something about chocolate that makes people happy. happy happy. so yay! there's something about retail therapy as well that creates wonder. hahaha happy happy happy.
-went back on SQ 226. sorry to say out loud, 226 has poor-er facilities than 223. I'm comparing relative. so, yeah. only caught snippets of Superbad (only the last 15mins of the ending in fact) and Daddy's Day Care from the middle. and the remote control doesn't allow me to skip parts! so irritating.

writing in point form allows me to rip things out from the itinerary and my diary without working too much brain cells trying to recall what happen. haha anyway, yeah, that's about it. toodles. i need to get back to my books. dun get me wrong. my library books i mean. haha
