Journey to Perth (Day 4)

Can't believe nearly half the trip is gone, and in no time I'll be back in S'pore. Well, at least there's one thing to look forward to, which is lower expenses! The cost of living in Perth is actually really high, the four of us spent more than a thousand AUD in just four days. Cray! It's funny how Singaporeans complain about how expensive things are there, when the stuff here could easily cost twice or thrice more.

Anyway, as mentioned in my previous post, made a trip to West Perth, Fremantle Markets this morning. In a sea of people, the fresh aroma of coffee and toast effortlessly made its way through and gave me a wake up call. Had a really good and quick bite at one of the stalls and walked along the streets for some mini-shopping.

We also drove to Hay street to check more stuff out. There's never too much of shopping right? Oh, Hao and I actually met some Australian followers, it was pretty cool haha.

Alright, I'd let the pictures do the talking now :)

Dinner tonight cost us nearly 200 SGD. All of a sudden, Astons seem like a much better choice than this.

I'm sorry xiao sheep. Hehe

 Ciao~ Hope you guys had a great day today.

Journey to Perth (Day 3)

The air was as fresh as snow, stepping out of the house this morning wishing I could spend the rest of my days here. Took a short drive to the well-known Subiacco Markets in Perth. Well, like they always say, early birds get the worm, but unfortunately, considering how late the 4 of us stayed up till last night, we only get... Closing stores, no worms :(

Actually, it wasn't that bad, at least there were some food stores left opened, and were able to grab some omelette, rosti and burger. Didn't take us long before we departed for our next location, Harbour Town. SHOPPING TIME!!!

Bought a crazy load of stuff despite it being the first day where we finally put our money into "good use" (our cash from the past two days were literally spent on survival purposes), and which is why I'm still considering if I should do a haul when I'm back.

Came back pretty early today to catch up on the sleep I've been deprived of and I'm currently waiting for the guys to be done with the preparation of dinner while filling up this space. Hahaha.

What's new... Dan and his FOOOOOOD, as always.

Some bromance going on here.

Say hi to the grumpy sheep.

*Inserts deep caption about flowers*

Fremantle tomorrow! Hopefully I could find some interesting stuff to share tomorrow. Till then!

Journey to Perth (Day 1 & 2)

It's a crisp, cold Friday, and I'm here in the heartland of Perth, writing my first entry of this long anticipated trip. A feeling no one could explain, the irony of how warm I feel deep inside when all that surrounds me is an ice-cold ambience. I'm finally back here after 5 years!

This is the first time I'm actually away from my parents after nearly 6 years. The last couple of times I boarded a plane without them, it was due to my school's exchange programme in different parts of China. Well, being apart from them now, indeed makes me a little homesick, but I guess it's time I learn to depend on myself. Haha.

Took off at 12.30 in the noon yesterday, and only managed to find our way to the apartment around 8 in the night. If you guys don't already know, the stores in Aus close extremely early on most days... And we, (okay me in particular) were starving so badly and all the stores were either closed or have already stopped serving food by the time we arrived. I felt terrible :(

Thankfully, we rushed to the nearest supermarket, and grabbed some food back home to cook before they put up the shutter.

Following are some photos from the airport till we got to our house in Perth yesterday!

As for today, there's only one word to describe how I feel... EXHAUSTED. I'm so drained out, and I hardly have any clue what I'm typing right now because I barely slept last night. Spent hours tossing and turning before I could finally fall asleep, but in no time, the sun rose, and the landlord's dog, Alfie was like the rooster in every children's book. *Cries*

Spent half a day finding a place to rent a car, then had lunch at this really good burger place, headed to Kings Park for some pictures thereafter, and finally got some groceries before we drove back home. Saviour/tour guide of the day has gotta be our friend back in S'pore, Amander. She recently came to Perth to further her studies, and we decided to catch up with her since we were here.

Everything still feels surreal. Really looking forward to the rest of the trip, I hope it doesn't end so quickly! Be back for more tomorrow if I could! :)
