OMG I SPENT LIKE, 2 HOURS SLOWLY SORTING THROUGH, RESIZING, SAVING, PICKING, CHOOSING, THEN UPLOADING THESE PICTURES OK. And they're not many because even though I took like 600plus pictures in Perth I'm not crazy to upload all. Hurrrr!!! And I have Chinese tuition homework to do in order to make Laoshi proud tomorrow so here's my Perth story.
So on Thursday night, we went to the airport and while checking in, the dude told us they were looking for volunteers to take the later flight on Friday morning instead, because the flight was overbooked. AND if we volunteered, we would get US400 in compensation FOR EACH PERSON!! Like wtf right, of course we said yes! I was thinking "Omg... Ferragamo shoes..." Then they told us they didn't need volunteers anymore but our seats would be separated and then they were trying to get our seats together so they gave us like, 75bucks worth of meal vouchers to eat in the airport while we waited to get our tickets. I was very very disappointed ): BUT I had good steak dinner courtesy of those meal vouchers hehehehe.
And then, we were up in the air after finally getting our tickets at about 845, when our flight was at 920? Wonderful. Raaaaaaan in to Departures and stuff, spoiling the soles of my flats on the way. Got on our flight, me and Meredith were seated together while Mummy was a few rows behind and it was the roughest take off I have ever experienced, UGH. And the entertainment system, along with all the light controls and whatnot were screwed up so I was bored throughout. AND, I was having the worst runny nose/flu/blocked nose whatever during the entire flight, AND I had no tissue. Luckily, I was seated next to a very nice lady who helped me ask for tissues from some dude across the aisle and she also helped me ask the air stewardess to get me tissues. Yay for nice random ladies! (:
Stopped in lovely Perth where the weather was freezing and Uncle Gerard came to pick us up and send us to where we would be staying for the next few days, City Stay Apartments. It wasn't very pretty or anything but it was sufficient, AND it was right opposite Harbourtown, an outlet mall. (: Slept at about 3am.
Day 1, Friday: Walked opposite to Harbourtown and it was soooo cold plus it was drizzling and the mall is kinda outdoors. The stuff there wasn't very cheap, but there was lots to see. AND THEN I SAW.. MY HURLEY HOODIE!!!!!!!!! Immediately grabbed it and paid hehehehehe. Omg so lovely Mummy thought I was mad. It was late night shopping that day, meaning the shops closed at about 9 instead of 4/5. Haha. Bought some food and went home.

Day 2, Saturday: Decided to go over to Hay Street instead where there was more to see and a supermarket and stuff. Asked the lady at the reception how we could get there and she told us we could walk, so we walked. Bad idea. Bought shoes from Target to replace my 2 dollar flats which sadly died in Changi Airport. I will miss you, green flats. ): Went to Woolworths which is lovely and got lots of supplies to stock up for the next few days. And carrying these like, dunno how many kg worth of stuff, we had to walk back. IT WAS HARDLY A SHORT WALK!!! The good news was that we now had a lot of food including cheap bacon, eggs, bread, mustard, ham, spaghetti sauce, beef etcetc. Good dinner that night (: Later on, at about midnight all, Uncle Gerard came over again to take us out for some late night supper! We went to Fast Eddie's and on the way there were all these people who were going clubbing and wearing the skimpiest outfits and IT WAS SO BLOODY COLD OK. I'm surprised they didn't freeze. I was cold, and I was in my hoodie and track pants! The atmosphere was so fun you see all these people dressed up to the nines in like their glam dresses and stuff. It's so different from Singapore! Reached home and because it was Daylight Savings, we ended up sleeping at like 5am. O.O
Day 3, Sunday: Went over to Hay Street again to buy the stuff we didn't get the day before due to us not being able to carry so much haha. HOWEVER, this time we were smarter and took the CAT which is a free bus that goes around Perth. I love it! Hahaha. It's like a land version of our MRT or something. And it's free, FREE! How often do you come across something that's free in our sunny island. So we managed to pick up more stuff and walk around more. It was fun, and we saw so many goths and whatnot.
Day 4, Monday: Lingling, Yiyi, Godma, and Ah Ma reached Perth! We arranged to meet in Hay Street and Ling and Yiyi came with Tua kim(Grand Aunt) and Aunty Linda. Yaaay (: Ling decided she hated me and didn't want to talk to me after she saw me in my Hurley but after that she was fine haha. Went for dimsum lunch, then went do Harbourtown to do some walking. Yiyi, Tua kim and Aunty Linda left first so we could all do some hurried shopping before dumping our stuff at home then rushing over to Tua kim's house for dinner. Aunty Vivien was there as well, we watched Foxtel after dinner. Foxtel is a wonderful wonderful invention with super alot of channels. :D Then Aunty Linda, Uncle Leo, and the 3 Ls- Lincoln, Lucas, Lewis came over. It was the first time we met our second cousins! They all talked then we each went our separate ways. Had to sleep early and start packing for our trip to Margaret River the next day!


My face is too round.

The Red Bull Air Race was on the next weekend, so there was the real airplane to advertise!

Day 5, Tuesday: ROAD TRIP TO MARGARET RIVER!! Damn excited please!! Hahaha, drove over to Tuakim's house first before we split into 2 cars to drive down. Lingling was with us in our caaar. We stopped for some lunch at some place, me and Mummy ran to Target and I got another pair of shoes hehehe then we ran to Coles and got stuff from the supermarket yay so fun. I bought loads of junk food hehehe.



Mummy damn act cute la.


Our GPS was named Sally and she was super helpful in helping us find our way to Margaret River. Except for the fact that she kept telling us to turn right when it was a straight road.

When we reached
Erravilla, omg IT WAS SO PRETTY I COULD DIE!!! Me, Meredith and Ling were sharing a room and the only weird thing was that the bathrooms were completely not shielded. So you would have to shower in like, the open. So to shower you had to lock up all the bedroom doors and stuff and it was still weird. Hahaha. Met Allan, one of the caretakers, and his son Liam who's the cutest! Allan brought us to walk around the estate to find kangaroos haha. Except the kangaroos were too far away so I couldn't take pictures of them. Laugu(Grand Uncle) cooked dinner and it was a good sleep that night.
