I'm back~!
Yeps..I'm back!..from downunder. Guess quite a few people knew i went and also quite a few people don't. heh. Anyways, I was in Melbourne and Perth for about a week, stopping at mel first before taking a domestic flight over to perth. Yes, I know I'm blessed. And you are blessed too! (by my gifts..haha)..
And it's the first time I am spending my birthday overseas!..haha..received birthday sms-es in aussie..so sorrie to those who sent me sms-es on the day itself...you've got to pay more for the good wishes...lol...But, it was also the first time I've got such a lousy cake. heh. Bought one on-the-spot at some cake shop in melbourne. It looked quite okie at first..but by the time we settled down to eat the cake, it was hmm..kinda smashed. (@#%$&)...already not very nice...and my mum can handle it roughly and smashed it. But somehow we managed to make it look like a cake. LOL...
Melbourne and Perth are very "sight-seeing" places...they don't have those fun places like what "-worlds" or "fun-" around...so they are all scenic places like Grampians, Great Ocean Road, Pinnacles, Swan Valley cruise, King's Park, City tour and stuff..we were on free & easy, so we planned everything ourselves..took lots of pixs and bought lots of things..
Shopping was great there!..There were lots of factory outlet stores and they had great deals..and of course, praise the Lord, we had many helpful passer-bys and people who were willing to help us with bus routes, trams and where to go shopping and eating...lol...we meet quite a few singaporeans as well!..And jap food there is real cheap!..A large bento set costs around A$6.50 only!..If you're going there(PERTH), note this down!..A must visit Jap food is the one in the city centre, near shafto lane, called (TAKA)...REAL nice!!..And also in PERTH, there's this chinese indonesian restaurant, or let's just say shop..lol..coz it's not very big...near lemme see...hmm...oh...on william street, 434A Northbridge William Street. Super nice food as well! And the boss's PR skills are excellent!..real nice people. For melbourne, you should go to the richmond area for shopping...there's the haven for factory outlets and cheap deals..and in that area, there's a food shop called
. Delicious asian food they have there too..i loved the tom yum soup. (And they call it the ...HAHA)..
The food on the first few days were terrible...it was like aussie was western-food infested. Every 5 shops we passed by, 4 were offering stuff like fish&chips. I don't understand why is fish&chips' so popular there. *wonder*...but we got over that after a few days and then food was great!..
Anyways, bought alot of stuff..waiting to give them out!..hehe..and I am hungry..hungry for the Word. man..I miss church. I miss singing for the Lord, I miss singapore food. See Ya all Soon!..update more the next time..
