I had a blast in Melbourne thanx to the bestie, Rohan and his parents. And also to Mr GT for carrying all my shopping. All pix are uploaded on my Facebook if you're within my circle of friends.
I don't mind visiting yearly! haha...then I can go bonkers shopping and hugging the cats to death!
MELBOURNE!!! I'm off to Down Under again to Melbourne this time around to visit the bestie there. Like finally! I can't wait, i've got a packed self-plan itinerary! whee...
I'm having this horrible sore throat I just hope it won't turn out to be a full flown fever and flu what with the weather being so unpredictable these days.
Finally met my buddy, Ariff yesterday night for dinner and coffee. His treat of coz since I was utterly broke. And I finally got my souvenirs from him! He actually got me an FC Barcelona Lion mascot thingy!!! That's an inside joke since he referred to me as Madagascar Lion when I had my blonde brown highlights.Pfft. But geez, I can't believe he actually got me that mascot! And he got me the perfume that is not available in Singapore in Barcelona! Whoopee. I am so darn ecstatic about it that's one of the reason I couldn't wait to get them from him.
After seeing his holiday pix in Barcelona & Madrid in Spain and Marrakech,Morroco. I so can't wait to go holiday. All the amazing fashionistas on the Spanish streets were wearing what we here see in magazines. Gosh. How I wish I live there. And of coz since I was his info counter recommending him places to go and Jan was the sales period in Europe so of coz he went crazy shopping. I AM SO JEALOUS.
I still can't believe we're still the same as when we 1st know each other via IRC like back in 2001. It's so amazing, we will talk non-stop whenever we meet that the night is never enough. Despite the sore throat, I had a real good time. Oh but I am still darn jealous he is going to Bangkok again soon and prolly South Africa for the World Cup next year. The privilege of free tix.
To Yuyu babe, we'd iron out my Melbourne trip details next week. I am still considering if I should tag along to Bali with the colleagues...though Bali is not at the top of my list, but an all girls' trip sound fun. And Sherry suggested Egypt trip too since her bf used to study there and know the place well...gosh, can I just go travelling all year and not work? Or maybe I'm just working to fund holidays but at least it's making motivating me to go to work everyday.
Yay, people I am back. Gosh, it is so bloody hot here. The weekend was the first time I sweat in a week, seriously. The supposedly spring weather in Perth was cold, it feels like being in air-conditioned environment 24/7, plus wind. You can have the sun shining above you, but the wind just makes you freeze up, my fingers and toes turned purple countless times. Eeks!
Where all the other Aussie states were having 23++ degrees Celsius in weather, Perth was having between 13 to 19 degrees every day with the occasional showers which barely lasted 3 minutes each time, it feels more like snow. Very tiring to open up the umbrellas then closing it less than 3 minutes like a game or something.
But surprisingly, I didn't even feel asthmatic, the air was really good compared to Singapore. I got to fulfill my wish of getting upclose with Kangaroo Jack (several of them in fact), koalas and goats/sheeps and god knows whatever animals at Caversham Wildlife Park where we spent 1st day of Raya!! Yes, I know, raya with the animals. But it was so fun since we rented an MPV for a day and Mr Gt was driving and me trusted with reading the maps and giving him the directions to turn right, left or stay on the freeway (who says girls can't read maps!). I was rather pleased we got to both Whiteman Park where the wildlife park is and then along the coastline to Fremantle for their famous fish n chips. Whee, I didn't get us lost! I was kinda though I am known as a street directory but still the map was rather complex, 3 different maps for different areas. The rest of Mr GT's family was asleep so both Mr GT and I were the ones awake obviously.
Anyway pix are found at the album I just put up. As soon as we touched down, the bestie and her bf fetched us and off to my place for Raya and off to her place the next day for Raya and sending them off to Melbourne. Next day, was at the airport again to fetch Mr GT's family back and yesterday was his aunt's open house and his grandma was hospitalised, must be due to all the walking we did. What a whirlwind weekend, I am damn tired!!!
