After flying for 5+ hours on the squeezy Jetstar airline
We finally arrived
Jetstar is different from Jetstar Asia btw
Got provided bottled water wor!
Adrian's friend David the Commando Officer came
and pick us up
Hahaha. Same as Taiwan
Always good to have friends in countries you are visiting
And the first thing I noticed when I stepped out from
the airport was the strong blast of icy wind
Feels damn chilling to the flesh
But refreshing indeed!
Checking into our Backpackers suite
Looks kinda "combat" as they mention
But gt personal toilet and breakfast
So its good!
Need to slot in bed sheets and whatsoever
Took some time and it was near 2 plus already
Zzz to the max
Check out the kongfu-style hands
Starved boys gorging on Aussie beef patty
They have more different type of Mac meals than us
Took quite a while to figure out what we wanted to eat
And here's the view out of our room
You can randomly hear and see turbo-charged cars
and superbikes roaring down the road
That's crazy!
Early next morning
After a very filling breakfast of cereals and toasted bread
We went for a walk to the city centre to explore
Fill you guys in on the details of the experience in the
backpackers in further entries
The sun is shining and yet you dont feel hot
But the rays are glaring to the eyes
Weather is cooling and you dont sweat
Ala. Great stuff in Aussie
After walking for 15 mins
We reached the junction
And traffic stopped on all sides before predestrians can cross
And you can literally ANYHOW cross the street
Straight left right up down center diagonal
Cuz traffic HAS STOPPED
Awesome!
Perth's City Hall
Finding similarities
And this is the place whereby I will be meeting Deb later on
And yet another familiar sight
Perth's bell tower
It's a musical instrument btw
Don't really understand it
Don't really understand it
We purchased our tix to go down towards South Perth
Its actually quite relaxing
Like seriously
=)
Little kid checking out the longest snake in the world
Biggest lizard in the whole of Australia
And this Jurassic Park lookalike reptile
Ah. My favourite picture
Cute little girl trying to tease the skink
=p
=p
"Mechanical" penguins
They swim around in lap style
And this part of the zoo whereby the birds
walk around randomly
They are like freaking close to you
Can touch them if you reach out
=/
I think Emu is an evil type of bird
Their eyes look evil
Like will shoot laser out that kinda of evil
Eerie open bear cages
And this lazy crocodile
Looks kinda enlarged though
Amazingly its not dead and is 4.5m in length
Thats...close to 3 times of me!
Dingo or bingo?
I think its dingo
Hahaha. Cuz bingo is a game and we go B-I-N-G-O!
Ooops
Hahaha. Dingo looks cute but is fierce
Can keep at home
Then release into my neighbour house to shut the dog up
Cuz it keep barking non-stop at 3am at night
Disturb my football and sleep
Zzz
Tok-kat Ali!
Or radish lookalike
Somehow I forgot the purpose of this plant though
Australia's finest!
They are freaking close btw
Imagine they boxing you in the face
Plus the Fo-Shan Shadowless Kick
Plus the Fo-Shan Shadowless Kick
Tsktsk
Not so fun for big size kangaroo
Smaller one jumping across the road is fine
And they used their tail to propel forward
Damn cute
Hahaha. Like quite effortless
See what I mean?
Thats how close they are
Roaming around freely and randomly
Tricia the elephant
Their elephant seems well-trained
Their zoo-keeper also look like zoo-keepers
Ours look like....kinda weird?
Not so sure of our own zookeepers though
Keep thinking about the white tiger incident...
=(
And their trees spurt out cooling water
Ah! Shiok
No wonder its call the rainforest trail
A short break and a group photo!
And Aussie are very environmentally frenly
They protect everything well
Like the Earth Hour is also started in Australia too!
Different types of sunlight absorbers
Or what are they called ar?
Solar panels I think
Different designs for different purposes and used in
different times of the year
Interesting find!
This is the Ah Ming area
Their Ah Ming like to climb high high sit there
Do nothing
Then they will be like human
Use the blanket cover their body when the sun is
too strong
OMG!
Wow! Super duper huge turtle or tortoise
Like crazily huge
And they move quite fast!
And guess what you see next to them?
Ah. Ghost bat
Cool eh!
And this bunch of cute little furry animals
I forgot the names
But they are like so freaking cute
Dig dig dig
Then they dig until where I stand
I thought they were gonna dig through the place
But it was through to the other side of the enclosure...
=.=
If you read the description
Its definitely kinda cool
=)
Sure. King of the jungle
Looks all the way like it
I thought this looks really cute too
Hahaha
So after the zoo, we walked around South Perth
before going back to the city itself
Next up was the Perth Mint
No pics could be taken inside due to too much expensive
and valuable stuff located inside the place
But we got a timing for the tour of the place
We saw gold-pouring in action
And thats pure gold for goodness sake
I like the way the person did the whole act
His commentary was entertaining and useful
Very attention-captivating
And the way a gold bar is made in real life is an
once-in-a-lifetime experience
Awesome stuff!
Plus we got to try and lift a gold bar itself
I thought my wrist nearly snapped
Damn heavy
Some funny old ladies tried their luck and their comments
were damn witty too!
And we got to see the different types of gold bars made
for different countries
Plus all the real Olympic medals for 2004 Sydney
I mean its totally different from the ones you see in TV
Better up close and personal
And my weight worth in gold is
$2,947,128
LOL!
I worth close to $3M sia!!!!
So after the Perth Mint
It was 5pm already
And damn, Aussie after 5pm is....zzz time
Hahaha
So called and met up with Deb at the city hall
This is Deb walking with us back to our backpackers
to get the stuff I lunged all the way from homely S'pore
And her bringing us to a place where there's chinese food
Its a place called Northbridge
And supposedly there's nightlife there
Of cuz with all the strip clubs and what not
Haha. Didnt enter one though
1st day do this kinda of stuff
Like morally not good
Hmmm
So after dinner we walked and walked
And supposedly she said there's things there
And OMG
We walked all the way
For like...20 minutes
And there's....blackness
OMG
Nothing at the end of the street!
Nearly fainted on the spot
Its like quite a ghost town
And all the way she assured me there's definitely things
to be seen or what
But along the way she said she hasnt been at Northbridge walking
=/
So we sent her to her bus station
Talked a lot while on the way there
Seems like Aussie is not such a heavenly place after all
Or should I say its a kinda of different thing to expect from Singapore
Concept, lifestyle, food, culture, expenditure, acadmeics etc
Varies quite seriously
But the good thing is she's still hanging on
2 months only what
Hahaha. But ya, sorry about the lamp though
LOL!
So thats the end of the 1st day
Plenty of pics to upload
But if upload all will die
Somemore is the city only what
Nothing interesting de
Seriously!
Will put more effort into other days entry
Hahaha
Really!
Here's a pic of us!
Me with my tiny eyes and she with her big bag of stuff
Till Day 2 then
=)
