Perth City

Hi!

As I type this entry, I'm resting my feet from all that walking and shopping. Man, I think I've walked off all the carbs we ate today!

Daleth dropped me off at Perth city and met up with the ever so lovely Sarah O! She brought me to most of the shops selling all the girlie stuff and of course, we both headed to the SALE section first. Wouldn't say the discount was awesome. Probably the cheapest thing I got today was 2 cardigans at Jay Jays for A at $5AUD each. I got myself a full-leather bag for $90AUD! Super love.

Anyway, realise I didn't shop that much after pouring out my loot on my bed. Shopping in Perth is waaaaaay too expensive. When am I going BKK again? =| Hint hint.

I had fun today! Updated Sarah about me and so did she. I hope this pretty young thing finds true love and be happy. Cliche, I know.

Heading to Subi market & Claremont tomorrow. It's gonna be another awesome day, I reckon. Can't believe I'm heading back to SG in another 3 days. :(

Fremantle & Victoria Park

Mike brought me to Fremantle (apparently people call it Freo?) despite still feeling sick which I probably will be eternally grateful. The weather today was unfortunately rainy BUT it was waaaaay better than yesterday's blazing HOT sun. Both Mike and myself felt so much better today though I had to toughen up to brave through the rain.

I did some good shopping! Valley girl, dayum. Headed down to Victoria Park hoping to shop somemore but the rain was such a bitch. Mike brought me to a thrift store - true blue one judging from the smell of old, mouldy clothes hehe, I got myself a book for $4! We also saw someone who looked like Snoop Dog.

Thank you Mike, for showing me around these 2 days! You're such a gem. I like counting your wrinkles. ;D

Right now I'm just enjoying the cold weather and watching Law & Order on telly. Life should be like that everyday.

MORE shopping with Sarah tomorrow. Should be glorious.

Anyway before I head off to bed, let me leave you with the most refreshing blog entry I've read to date - one that makes the most sense so far - http://goinswriter.com/travel-young/

Life's too short to worry. Yes, life beckons and you never found the courage to leave your shit job, sleep in your small apartment, a car that won't start and not having enough sex; when will you stop from all that madness and live your life the way you should be? This trip to Perth truly opened my eyes a lot more. I find myself saying this often - Yea, I wanna travel! I want to go to Europe! Japan! Blah blah blah blah but never got down to make any of that happen. From this moment on, I'm gonna start saving and travel the world! For real.

Hot hot hot

Hello, this is me blogging miles away from home, in Perth. Thought this deserves an entry since I've got the night to spare.

It's been a crazy ride, alright? The past weeks for me have been ridiculous. And I fucking mean it. Other than my infections coming back to haunt me like a muthafarker, 3 days Women's Fair at Marina Square WHILE plagued with infections wasn't my kind of fun. Headed back to work with only a day to handover everything to Micque before I fly the next morning (Geez, almost couldn't due to the Qantas strikes. Seriously. What. The. Hell.).

So.......... yup here I am resting my skin and feet in a quiet suburb in Western Australia.

Perth has been......................... hot. The weather's crazy. I think it's hotter here than in SG, less humid though but the heat is just.. driving me nuts. I make sure I keep myself hydrated throughout the day. AND THE DAMN FLIES. Jesus, they are everywhere. When I told Mike there weren't any in SG unless someone kept food out in the open for days, he seem shocked.

Anyway, other than the heat, I'm pretty much enjoying myself being away from work and alone. I miss home, local food, and my bed. Everyone here's so friendly and I love Target, KMART and Woolsworth!!!

Hope everyone's good wherever you are. I'm safe and enjoying a lot more fun than you. :P

P for Paradise?

Got into the office earlier to finish up some work and it suddenly dawned onto me that I've leaving for Perth in a week?! Worse part is I've ALOT of work not done. I'm pretty excited to fly alone though!

Just minutes ago I'm frantically checking on "Things to do in Perth" HAHAHAH. Talk about last minute planning. I'm so not a planner. But I kinda like the 'we'll see how it goes' swag I've going on right now. I know, I'm deluded.

Can't wait to see the following places in Perth that's.. er FREEEEEE!! #3 and #4 are not free, I think?

1) King's Park

Ok.. just greens....... definitely nicer than Botanical Gardens in SG!

2) Cottlesloe Beach

Am I hearing picnic?!?!?!? Wine but no cheese.

3) Caversham Wildlife Park

Gonna have 'close encounters' with Kangeroos, y'all.

4) Perth Zoo

Read #3, just see a lot more other animals.

Anyway, I think it's gonna be swell. Have a great weekend!
