Mandurah - 31th, 1st Sept
The 1hr drive down... with my rented yellow Hyundai Getz!
Regina said Cicerallos at Mandurah is nicer than Freo's. But.. Hmm... I dun think so. N loads of seneric pics by the river.
Went to the Marapana Wildlife Park while waiting for the rest of the group to reach Mandurah. Tt koala on the left has gt no ears! Large male koalas fight to gain the leader position by bitting each other's ears. That 1... gt infected aft someTime. And the vet had to cut off his ears. heh. He looks cute thou!
Went fishing that evening when the rest arrived. Dinner at an Italian restuarant. The choc milkshake was FABULOUS!
The nite ended with drinkin games. But I was so tired... I simply dozed off.. no matter how noisy they were. With some half drunkards screamin ard. Eyes shut, ears shut.
Breakfast the next morning! Prepared by Reg, Lyn, John.
Sat the "lok kok" boat. Each person was abt $5... Best thing was, we could drive it ard on our own. Went into 'canals' of the river where rich ppl stays. The houses are so nice n almost all has gt their own boats.
Serpertine Falls. A lil mini water fall, which I dun quite expected. I thought it would be much bigger. $9 per car to enter. It's still cool thou. I left earlier den the rest... Had to rush off to pick Gerald boy when he arrives at 3pm that afterNoon (25 Aug).
That nite he arrived, we both went clubbing with my ChemEng girls. It was great! Couldnt drink as much... coz I had to drive. But on the way, we got lost for awhile.... n I simply couldnt wait to get hm. KO.
Picnic the next day. Had to wake earlier to make the sushi rolls. Yawns. But every1 loved it. =D
Love the pic below.... It was off to Bido hse in the late afternoon. Most left. Only me, Gerald, Kelvin n Zhaoying went over to Bido place to play 'Twister'. Seems like being in Perth, lots of them likes to play this.
Gerald's 1st time playing it... but he was pretty gd. I sux.
Went City n shopping... like 3 times tt week he came. Lots of sales & bought quite a few clothings. It was all gd thou. I love IcyIce since I 1st tried it... Sg shld have such dessert. Ice kachang but with flavoured ice (Peanut, Mango, Coffee, Strawberry.....) Soft n cold n yummy!
Margaret's River (MR) on Wed! It was a long 3hrs drive. Not totally a smooth ride... But at least we got there & back safely. It was raining quite abit.... n the inside of the car keep foggin up. Dangerous...
At last we made it to our destination.... Adamsons Riverside Accomodation. I would recommend it to any1 who'll b spending the nite at MR. Chilled for awhile n checked out the spa ensuite room. Nice!
Went down to Cape Lavander 1st... Had a meal, which actually wasnt v fantastic. But the salad had some lavander scent in it. Whic was so refreshing!
Then, the choc n cheese factory (where the rainbow appeared), Candy Cow (my Fav!), n a melting pot studio. They made really nice glass products. But so expensive thou. Not many ppl are doin such art anymore I guess.
They had Coles there whic opens till 7pm. Bought some frozen food, borrowed DVDs from the acommodation n rested thru the nite. Roosters started calling at 6am till 8+am when we woke.... Noisy, yet so natural. That feeling was juz great. It's like a holiday in another country.
In the toilet.
I love the Junkies I bought!
The next day..
Decide to go down to the caves, lakehse n farm. Lake Cave was the very 1st stop.... It's the nicest of the caves there, as told. A pretty small cave, yet nicer than Jewel Cave.
On the way down to the Jewel Cave. Had no intensions to go down to the Jewel Cave actually... since I've been there.. when I was 10. I dun think they would change very much. But aft the Lake Cave (Gerald's 1st time in a cave), he wanted to go to the Jewel Cave so much. So.... off we went.
It's nice.... But nt as nice. But at least we've gt the couple photo taken in there.
Cape Leeuwin Lighthse! It wasnt very much fantastic. But the view was nice. That's all about it. Heh. $10... nt worth.
The pretty detailed description of the lighthse.
Last stop, Berry Farm. Bought a Passionfruit wine for my parents. Hope they like it thou. Nth much in the farm. Went down CandyCow the last time as we headed back to Perth. Decided to buy more fudge for the ChemEng girls.
Shld have left by 4pm, so it wont b too dark b4 we reach our destination home. By it was 5pm when we were only heading out the Bussell Highway.
He could still smile... coz we enjoyed so much. It was the beginning of the tiring journey hm. We were both exhausted. Reached back in Perth, both tired n hungry n needed to pee.
After dinner at Makan Makan, that's him within the next 30mins later...
His Last 2 days in Perth......
Woke up the next day feeling fine again. Went down to meet City n Garden City for the day.
On sat, met the Engineering peeps for Dimsum n headed down to Freo. As usual, ate the Fish n Chips.
Last 2 pics were taken on his last hr in Perth. I was pretty sad, affected. Aft sendin him off, I had to head down to City to return the car. I went back hm alone... faced the empty room he stayed in for a week. Everything was gone. The only thing he left in the hse, was his OralB mouthwash n toothbrush. I couldnt stop crying. It was like I felt so much again. It was so so empty. Frankly, I really hated tt feeling. I didnt feel gd the whole day.... not a single bit.
Lucky thing was that sch starts the next day... I had my friends. So, feeling better wasnt that difficult n didnt take tt long.
It's Officially the start of the new week of break again. Lots of studying to catch up. Grades dropped quite alot. It really sux. And I havent gt a job since mid last yr. Dropped abt 7 resumes in City n Carousel. Been 2 weeks alrdy. None called me!! Am I that bad??
There'll be plans for the week, other den studying. The ChemEng gers wan to club, shop, play. The long waited Perth Royal Show's coming up!!! Cant wait... Next Sat. But, I dun wan next sat to come so soon too.... means weekbreak had ended, 5 more weeks of Uni n it'll be Exams! Sux, No time!
Gd news for the day.... Coles accepted my application n hopefully, goes thru the branch n some1 calls me up for interview. It's a Dawnfill job.... meaning from 4am-10am. For the pay n the lact of ppl who r willing to hire me, I'm desperate n will take it.
For now.... Piority:
