back from aust.
February 12, 2008I'm back from Aussie!
I'm lazy to upload the photos.
I'll just summarise my days there.
First Day
We reached Perth international Airport at around 2pm plus.
My relative was outside waiting for us and she couldn't recognise my elder brother due to his hairstyle. Lol.
She hailed cab for my dad and elder brother to the hotel whereas she fetched my mom, aunt and me to the hotel. My 2nd brother was being chauffeured by some people from Curtin and there was only another guy who was going there with my brother.
Checked in to the hotel and walked around the streets nearby and had our dinner at this Chinese stall. Their combo set was enough to make us puke. -.-
After that, I don't really remember what did we do. Lol.
Second Day
We woke up and had our breakfast, after that we went to search for some one day tour in case we have nothing to do for the 3rd day. Signed up for the one day tour and headed on to shop around there.
A lot of surfing brands like Billabong, Roxy, Quiksilver, Hurley. When they are having sales, some of the stuffs are quite cheap. We went round shopping and it was bloody hot. Damn it.
After some time, everyone was searching for toilets. Australians don't seem to need the toilet
that much. Their toilets are either locked or no longer there. -.-
Although I wasn't that urgent but I went round, walked for like 2459763 minutes with brother who was damn urgent that time, for the lookout of toilets.
We met this grandma from KL, she told us there was a toilet at MYER shopping mall.
So, I told my 2nd brother about going there and find the toilet. There was signboard indicating where is the toilet and we followed it. We were like retards, walking at a faster pace for toilets.
Finally, we found the toilet.. and it was, CLOSED. -.-?!
Hard luck. My brother then said Mcdonald's should have toilets so we went to find it.
Indeed, there was toilet but we couldn't open the door. -.- My brother was a little bit sian diao 'cos he was damn urgent. Lol.
I asked him to find some shopping malls, like 'Giant', 'Carrefour' which normally have toilets built in it. So, we came to this 'Carrilon Mall' and there was sign saying that new toilets are built at the foodcourt. Lol. Finally, we found the toilets. HAHA.
After relieving ourselves, we were lost. LOL. I mean, in the sense of we couldn't find our parents and aunt. We walked around and found my elder brother. Took some photos with those antique buildings behind and went to meet up with the rest.
Third Day
Woke up at 5am, washed up and went out to assemble at the meeting place for our one day tour.
We had this 27 seaters 4WD. The front part of the coach really looks like a lorry. Haha.
We headed to.. some wildlife park, and took photos with kangaroos, koala bears and wombat! There was owls and hmm.. don't know what else. Lol. There was this owl which looked damn scary. Haha. Oh, the wombat not = a bat, it was some kind of koala if not wrong. The texture of koala's fur was like fake ones. Lol. We fed the kangaroos and saw this 'Red Kangaroo' which was in white color. Cool, huh?
Pinnacles desert was the 2nd destination that we were heading to.
All kinds of rocks that are formed are due to.. some wind, rain, er, whatever it is. I did pay attention but not FULL to the tour guide cum the driver. Lol.
We were asked to stick together 'cos seriously, we would get lost in the dessert. Just like you are in a middle of the dessert when you look around. Some rocks really look like animals, like kangaroo, eagle, penguin, dolphins..
After that headed off to wildflower park and had our lunch and then to don't know what beach.
It was pretty windy there and the sea was damn nice.
I was asked to take photo of my elder brother, brother and mom. I scolded my elder brother for not looking at the camera. Lol. The wind kept blowing and he was making his hair when I was trying to take the pic.
Hmm, went to some sandy place and had sand boarding there. The sand there was damn soft and there was this 4WD stuck when going down from the top of the sand. We got down from our 4WD and watching people trying to push their stuck-ed 4WD. LOL. Well, our driver went down and used his 4WD to pull the stuck-ed 4WD out.
Hmm, was damn windy on top and the sand kept blowing towards us. We were filled with sand. Haha. We went down from the top and it was difficult for us to fall down. When we step on the sand, our feet will sink in. Lol. We got down to the bottom and my brothers and me started to run back on the way top again. Damn tiring. My bloody elder brother pulled my leg, don't wanna let me go up first. Lol. CUNNING!
Everything was settled and we went to the other side for sand boarding. SHIOK. :D
Before we get to board down, we have to walk all the way up. It was damn wearisome to walk up. I asked my elder bro to grab me. Lol.
My elder brother boarded down first and my 2nd brother was video-ing us. I took another few more minutes before I actually boarded down. My 2nd brother was cursing me by then for not boarding down. -.- The video has his voice of cursing at me. Lol.
After that, we went to another beach. It wasn't as nice as the first one but there was plenty of seagulls. Haha.
We reached back hotel at 6pm plus and met up with our relatives who booked a table at this chinese restaurant for our reunion dinner. It was the first day of CNY! We waited quite a time 'cos there was lion dance troupe performing.
Fourth Day
It was raining and the weather was cold. Brr..
We took train [mrt] to our relative's house. Due to the extreme weather, we were being delayed and there was this train or car broke down, congesting the way.
Waited, and finally we reached the stop at my relative's house.
We were lated by almost an hour and she was damn scared that something happen to us. Lol.
She drove us to her house and there was like 3 living rooms in her house. -.-
She woke up at 4am and cooked for us. Damn early. Heated up all the food and we started eating! It was still raining, I was damn lazy to go out.
My 2 brothers, mom and aunt went out with my relative when my dad and me stayed at her house and sleep. Tired. An hour or so, I woke up and used the internet.
After that, they were back and had dinner at some chinese restaurant. We got to 'lao yu sheng' before having our dinner. While chatting, my mom told us she saw 'Zhou Hua Jian', I think shini knows who is it cos she knows all the old singer! =x
From what I know, he has concert at Perth on Friday and Melbourne on Saturday.
We headed back to relative's house and slacked around before taking train back to hotel.
It was cold that day!
Fifth Day
My relative's son brought us around Perth.
We took 'Red Cat', 'Blue Cat' and 'Yellow Cat' around Perth. These are the names for the buses. Free ride. :D
We went to some Factory Outlet Shops and bought something cheaper compared in Malaysia & Singapore. My feet was damn sore walking round. We missed our last bus and had to walk back to our hotel. -.-! Luckily there was my brother's windbreaker. It was cold and windy at around 5pm there. Hehe. I was the only one who get to be protected from the wind.
Sixth Day
My Relative's son brought us out again.
This time was to King's Park in Perth. This park was damn freaking big!
Again, my feet was soreeeee from all the walkings.
Then, went to the museum near our hotel.
We had to get out from the museum when we found out there was still other things for us to see 'cos it was closing already.
After that we went to the Bell[?] Tower. We = my brothers, relative and me. The senior citizens headed back to hotel. They couldn't walk anymore. LOL. Too fatigue for them to continue walking.
Although I was damn tired, but didn't wanna miss our anything so I persevered and went there.
Guess what? The tower had some function that day so we didn't get to enter. -.-
There were 3 couples having their wedding shoots there. My elder brother thought they were the same person till when he saw the 3 couples at the same time. Lol.
We waited 1hr plus for this vegetarian food restaurant to be opened. It was FOC, but you still can donate some money. I wonder if there's anyone who really have their dinner there w/o even donating money not. Lol.
Boo, back to hotel and mom, dad, aunt who weren't with us ate instant noodles for their dinner. Lol.
Seventh Day
Woke up, ate at the hotel waited few minutes and cabbed down to the airport.
Checked in, waited for my 2nd brother and relative to arrive.
Crapped, laughed, went to the boarding gate.
My mom shed tears when going in 'cos my 2nd brother is gonna stay in Aussie for 3 years.
Lol. The rest of us didn't care much though. =x
