Perth Day 7

Today, i woke up for lunch. Haha. Just nice. :)

Today we had lunch on the sea. It's an italian restaurant, Jojo. Its superb.
We had appitizers, then the main course.
I ordered chicken. Good. But it was breastmeat. Quite tough. But it was the sauce and the veges that made the dish taste good. I tried some of beef and salmon and also liguine. BRAVA!!! SUPERB!!! really good you know?! Adding along is the sight infront of me, the sea. Beautiful. Had a super full super good lunch.
Then we came back to the hotel. And we sleep again!!! Pig!!! But it was not really a good sleep. It was around 36 degrees outside and then we didn't on the aircom. Until we felt that we were in a sauna, then we realize that the aircon wasn't on. And i went to on the coldest. Super hot. Really very summer type.
Then we went to this chinese seafood restaurant. We had 2 differnt types of scallops on the shell!!! And then we had snow crab fried with salted egg. And then we had Lobster noodles... hmm~~~ yumm yummmmmm... Then we had 2 veges, one is winter melon, another is the spinach fried with 3 different types of egg. The normal one, salted egg, and century egg.
Its really good.

So now, i am back in the room and let me tell u, i am going to sleep again!!! Hello!!! I am going to turn like joanne la! PIG EH!!!
But now, is go bathe first. I will have lots of things to do tommorow. Because of the installation. Right~~~ Got to go now. See ya :)
PERTH DAY 6

Today, it was a piggy day! GOODNESS!!!

Whole day i was sleeping. Then i struggled myself up to go to Uncle Henry's place to look at the place that i may probably stay if i study here.
Well, i got lovely food from Aunty June. A very nice lady, wife of Uncle Henry, and mother of two sons, Enoch and Elijah. Elijah's a very nice and open kid. I like him!!! He's so cute! ><
Then we went to churh for the welcoming bbq from the ypg and yag group.
We reached there quite early. I walked around, talk with some of the teens, and some that i had met long ago, like for example, ken, Aunty Chris' son. He is more open now, talk to me, joke with me. And he looks nicer now! I dare say that. He looks so much sexier than the last time i met him.... i think it was last yr. But my opinion of him had changed so much from the first time i met him last sunday.
Oh well, I had a full dinner. Then i walked to the steps at the basketball court, sat at the top and looked out. Beautiful. The sky that Singapore will never have and never will have. Staying here would bring good and bad points. The beautiful nature here is way more of a winner to Singapore, and i think to any other country as well. Whereas, things here, and life back in Singapore is no way that we should compare because Singapore is smaller but yet, its so noisy, more city life everywhere. Whereas, in Perth, its so much quieter here, more like a relaxed life here. I kinda love it, for a change.
Sitting on that steps had brought me to look more and see more of life. It came to me that time had ticked so fast. 3 years. 3 years that brought chris back to Perth to carry on his ministry. What have i done the last 3 years? Other than study, and NPCC, i kinda remember that there is only rubbish. No life that is fruitful. Time i wasted will not be bcak. But, i can turn the time in future to be fruitful and more meaningful.
I know a friend while i was stiiting there. I dun really know how to spell her name. But she ask me to call her Kat. I talked to her about many things relating to church, the difference between Bethel and Bethany. I think she had learned a lot from the talk. So do i, to open myself so people would open to me.

Oh well, I am going to sleep now.

Goodnight :)

PERTH DAY 5

Its so fast, day 5 now.

I was sleeping till 12 nn. And then we had lunch at 3. Then i received a call from the team from Bethany. Finally!!! Aiya! Then they say we have a dinner at 6! Aiyo!!! 6 eh! Goodness!
Then we went for dinner at 6. But we first meet the team from Bethany at Seasons of Perth. Then we walked together to the place where we gonna eat, which is Grand Palace Restaurant, at Esplanade, near the swan river. Cool!!! I took a lot of photos...
I try not to eat so much. Anyway, the food is soooooo good, that makes me wants to eat it. Its a high class restaurant, which originally is from The Esplanade Hotel. But i think this is the branch, if not, its a moved out.
We split into 2, the ladies, and the men. And we had a girls' talk. And the guys had a men's talk. Cool eh? Kinda weird to think that the guys, mostly made of pastors, are having a men's talk. Goodness!!! So alamak. Haha.
Then we came back and say nite nite.

So now, i am getting ready to sleep. Trust me, I am dead tired because from all the talk. Because i wasn't the one talking. The youngest of both tables dun talk. Like the guy's side they have Joel. And the ladies side they have me. I cannot catch up to them... LOL

PERTH DAY 4

today was a whole slacking time. most of my time was spent either on the lappy or my bed. I kinda didn't go out today. Haha. I found out that there is DST in Perth, and its for trial. DST=Daylight Saving Time. It makes it adds on the normal GMT time an hr. That means, that the time difference now between Singapore and Perth is an hr, where Perth is one hr before of Singapore.

oh well, we skipped breakfast today because i was a pig... keep sleeping. Well, then i woke up for lunch. We drove to chinatown and had dine in at this vietnam and asian cusine. The name of the restaurant is Saigon. Well, it was kinda worth the money. Really really huge bowl. Double the portion, double the price. Haha.
Then all the time we have been in the hotel slacking. Because pastor didn't come to find us, and we were afraid that pastor would come and find us.
Haha... I think today's post is the shortest of all.

I spent all day watching downloaded DN Angel. Bored to death. But lucky, haven't die.
Hope that tommorow would be a better day then. :)

PERTH DAY 3

Day 3 in Perth now. Things had been going through kinda smoothly.

This morning, as usual, breakfast first. Then we went to church. If we were not to be lost, we will be there right on time. But then, we went without our map. And hence, we were there late. Very late... When we reached church, they had just finished. Haha.We stayed over for lunch and kinda had a fellowship with them. I say kinda because other than Pheebs and some older folks, none has talk to me! And i think its quite right that what Auntie Peggy says. I shall not elaborate.
After that, we went back to the hotel here, and i slept. Haha.
Then there was a call from Uncle William. We met him at Fremantle and then we had a catch. Wohoo!!! Fishing!!! i caught 4 fishes. 2 puffer fish, and 2 Yellow Tail. So sad... Its 2 puffer fish. Cannot eat de!!! Poisonous.
After the catching, we went to eat fish and chips!!! YEAH!!! Its just next to the place. So its very convinient. Its rated the best fish and chips in WA. It cost A$10.50. Its very big packet with no sauces. The sauces, one small pack cost A$0.30. Which is...S$0.36. And if u know me well, i like lots of sauces on my plate, so it would cost a bomb!!! Haha. But i didn get any sauces. I took flavourings. There is a station where the salt, pepper, and vinegar are. The people take so much as though they dun cost a cent. And maybe they dun cost a cent! I also took, since i need taste and the salt and pepper are there and its FOC. Haha. Its such a big packet, that even if i share with my dad, we couldn't finish! My advice to you, is that if you want to eat fish and chips, try to order 2 packet for 3 person. Even i am such a big eater, i still cannot finish.
In the end, i brought back the fish and chips to the hotel and i try to eat whatever i can... aiya, dun waste mah. The fries are like as though they dun cost a thing. That's what makes it such a big packet. In the end, i only finish the fish and didn't eat the fries. Haha.

Alrighty... That's all for it for now. Pastor is coming tommorow. It would be such an experience to travel with him...brrr... kinda scary too. LOL!!!
PERTH DAY 2

hello... its the second day in perth.
so fast le worh...

Today, after breakfast, we drove up to the market place at canningvale. My dad cheated me. Say there will be alot of bargains and u see people start snatching bargained food like meat, veges, and fruits. All these daily necessities here are very expensive. Over these years, the prices had gone up because of the inflation. In the end, when we reach there, no people, no bargains, no snatching. How dissapointing.
After buying some sweets from the marketplace, we drove to Fremantle, another town in WA. It is beautiful. But i forgot to bring camera, so i didn take a picture of the sight when we drove up the hill and saw the blue sea that blends into the blue sky. Very VERY beautiful. We drove around and got lost half the time. Haha. And we drove to the prison. I felt very ironic. Such a beautiful place with an ugly feature in it. The prison is open to the public at some places, of course, no contact with criminals. And to get in, you have to pay a certain amt of $$$. Then we drove around and we finally reached to the Fremantle Marketplace. Waaa.... Super lotsa stuff. Quite reasonable price la. Then we bought some seadless grapes and strawberries. Then we went back. I put the fruits in the car, along with the sweets. Allow me to tell you, eventhough the weather is cool, but then the sun rays are glaring. And then i put in the car, and the strawberried start to get spoil. and the sweets are melting to the aluminium wrappers. I didn know that till i reach the hotel.
After the Fremantle trip, we went to Uncle Tony and Auntie Peggy's place. we had a talk with them over large amount of isseues. They are Jimmy's parents. Nice people. Then they brought us to the nearest supermarket. And we brought over 60 bucks of chocolate. Hey tell you, u think its alot, BUT ITS NOT!!! We buy these in offers, YET, its still expensive. But i dare say, these chocolates are best!!! Aussie chocolates are best because they make with their own grown cocoa. GOOD!!! BAGUS!!! They wanted to leave us for dinner, but then we are meeting another person for dinner. Then we departed and come back to the hotel.
When we were back at the hotel, we got tired, and we slept. Then Uncle Gerard call and say that he just finish work and going back for a bath, and then come fetch us for dinner. So i say ok. Then i reckon, it will be around 8 la. So i slept. Then we had a miss call. Haha. It was about 7.30 then. I struggle myself up and get ready for dinner. When i reach the lobby, it was around 8. And then he came to fetch us to chinatown to eat. Finally!!! Chinatown! We eat Peking Duck (3 types). They used the duck, to put in 3 different ways. The skin was cut to eat like a popiah. Then the meat was diced and but in a raw cabbage and suppose to eat like korean bbq like that. Then what is left is the bones la. The bones, cannot do anything le mah. So they boil soup. Smart right? All together was about 50 over. And can 'da-pao' also. Becoz cannot eat finish. For a typical Aussie, its quite cheap for 4. Imagine, if there are around 6 people, it will be cheaper. Very filling. Then they ordered kangkong and also steamed fish. ARHHH.... the first meal in Perth that is so full. Then after dinner, we dun want to go back to the hotel, so we went for a drink. Hey, i am underage. Dun think otherwise. We went for a coffee. I had juice, because, if u rmb, i cannot drink coffee. I had a great chat with Uncle Gerard's wife. She's a HK. Then we were speaking a lot about travel. She's a very good and sharp person. But i think mummy more sharp. Wahahahahahaha.
Then after talking, they drove us back to the hotel, around 12mn. Then came back to type this and now getting ready to sleep.

Tmr have to wake up early lorh.... its church day!!! WOHOO!!!

i reached here at 6 plus.... the sun has already rise..... around 4 plus the sun had risen.

6) 'no' map nvm worh, still kinda can use la... then we went to the church we have here, Bethel. nice and quite big. then i met enoch, uncle henry, uncle robin and another guy which i dunno of, because they are there to prepare for some things upcoming. then after we stay for a while, we wanted to leave le... we took a look at the map and we got directions from uncle henry le hor... we took our car, start it. the just nice all the aunties come. and ask us to stay. then we have to help them carry the veges....
7) carry veges nvm eh.... i kind of like it la... but then talk to aunty chris hor... like she gonna kill me like that. sigh.... i shall not elaborate on that.
8) then, when we come back to the hotel, i went to sleep. because i haven been sleeping since yesterday 2 p.m. over the air flight, i also nv sleep. cannot sleep. then the bed so small, like worse than a single like that worh....
9) then sleep halfway, wake up, then look at the window... wah, the sky still so bright. then look at my watch.... 7.22!!! hello.... 7.22 p.m eh! still bright like as if its 6p.m in singapore. damn bloody shock la.
10) actually, its not a problem if it is still bright... but then, usually its, early sunrise, early sunset. but then over here is early sunrise, later sunset. like the day has stretched so much more.
11) then i went to sleep again... my dad started to play my com, using the internet. and then the whole time he keep complaining that the network lao ya... i say no... is like that de. my com too much things le. here 1 gb there 1 gb, my lappy i think only can put 80 gb if not 100 gb only mah. make me cannot sleep....
12) then he woke me up again at 9. saying that we should go buy some dinner come back. ok lorh. then i woke up. at first, we thought, lets walk. so we walk. then so dangerous. the night life here is way way dangerous. the people talk so loud. and the there are women who just walk on the streets and grab any guy and ask if he wants to take her. i was like... jaw drop! so open siahz!
13) so we decided to walk back and grab our car. i kind of have this phobia. i like reading past cases of murder, and they unsually happen in the night. so the last thing i want to happen is to have any trouble at this place. i dun want to die yet worh. i still haven bring my friends to know the LORD. i still haven't baptise. i still haven't come to know a lot of church people from perth. and a lot A LOT nv do yet.
14) then we took the car and started driving to chinatown, half the time missing our way. lol.
15) when we reach there, there isn anything le, but fastfood, 24 hrs convenience store, dangerous people, and also beggars. fastfood...no! too many people queue-ing for it. so i went to the convenice store lorh, and get some instant noodles and chocolate. guess how much i got for one cup of instant noodles?! A$2.50!!! if i convert to singapore $, i can buy one proper meal eh. i bought 6 cups of instant noodles, and 3 chocolate bars. altogether inc. gst is A$20.85. MY GOODNESS!!!
