Finally, daddy brings back the camera, and now, I can finally blog about my holiday to Australia. More specifically, Perth.
Where do i start? Well, I'll start with shopping. I bought like, loads of clothes, a handbag, and some other trinkets from various shops. Supre was on my list of course, and i spent AU$97 there O.O
Before i get to the fun part of the trip though, there was one thing that happened there that i wouldn't care to remember, but unfortunately i will, for the rest of my life. We got into a car accident. It wasn't a very serious one, but an accident nonetheless. No one died, and no one got seriously injured. Poor Mark felt so guilty, but ultimately, I don't blame him, and I don't think other people do. So darling, its ok =)
We met up with our relatives, Aunty Joan, Diane and Janice, and their respective husbands, Uncle Brian, Dave, and Karl. Diane's 5 year old daughter kinda stole Mark away from me for a little while when we went over to the house to visit, because she wanted to play with someone, and i guess the most convenient person was Mark. >.>
Even though she stole him for about an hour altogether, she is still SO adorable. Charlie who is Janice's son, was equally cute, with super curly hair which i so love!!
I won't blog about Margaret River in this post, because that is a story on its own. After Margaret River though, I had about one week left in Perth, till i took that dreaded flight back to Singapore. The weather was quite cold, because winter just ended, and spring had arrived, and since Singapore is so hot, we found the spring season cold -_-
The weekend before Corey and i took the flight back, we went to the weekend Fremantle market, where Mark and i bought a gecko each! They are ornaments made of some sort of metal, and the can be hung on the wall. We also saw this guy flinging the boomerang, and it was so cool, because he did it with such ease. Mark thought it was cool immediately, (and so did i), and we went into the shop and bought one =) It actually works, but for it to actually come back to you, it must be flung the right way. It doesn't take that long to learn, but it does take practise.
On Saturday night, we went for dinner with some of Mark's friends, and some of his friend's friends. The food was alright, nothing super fantastic. I told myself to remember to bring the camera. But guess wad happened? >.> So, you won't be getting pictures of that night. Unless you count the ones Mark and i took at home in our going out clothes =P
We did take a half hour drive down to Swan Valley, where we had lunch, and took more pictures. We also visited many vineyards while we were in Australia, and not forgetting, the Chocolate Factory.
There's this thing called scratchies, which is super addictive. A couple of pictures of what it looks like have been posted in this blog. Theres like, a chance of winning lots of money, but obviously that doesn't come round very often >.> But, we did still win some. Like, 8 dollars, or 5 dollars. Those small amounts. But, if you stop and think about it, ultimately, we lost money instead of gaining, because you wouldn't believe the amount of scratchies we bought altogether.
I don't really have very much to say in this post, because the pictures we took kinda shows everything...=) So, enjoy the pictures.
Pillow!
