I guess I'm still in the queue
And the number seems so distant
But yet the people in front are moving
And I'm still left at the back on the queue

Sometimes when you give your best
It doesnt exactly come back as what you hoped for....
Oh well
My life doesnt have a reset button

Wow
Playboy with the Honda LCR
Looks good seriously!

Anyways today is a day of good sporting activities
Ferrari like FINALLY got a damn point in F1
But Massa drove like....a coconut
Anywho Brawn GP seems to be owning the competition
The double decker diffuser seems rigged
Like can we have an appeal again?
=/

Besides that
I watched the 1st race of MotoGP on TV today!
Great great great race in Japan
Did I mention the umbrella girls are damn kawaii?
Like Japanese kawaii that kind of kawii?
OMG!

Anyways it was a damn exciting race from start to finish
Saw plenty of different modifications to previous bikes
And killer overtaking at S-shaped hairpin corners
Throw in hardcore straightline acceleration
Oh just cant wait for MotoGP S'pore Changi to arrive in 2010
=)



Entertaining stuff for the fight in top 5 places
Not once last season did we have such close competition
Rossi led for like 10+ laps before being overtaken
And Dani Pedrosa climbed around 10 places to challenge
Rossi for 2nd placing
Not forgetting Mr Ducati making a breath-taking
overtaking move on Honda Respol rider
Great stuff man!
And yes the umbrella girls of course!
=p






I think the new Kawasaki Ninja ZX-RR in black is the
meanest machine on the track
If drive at night surely looks damn menacing
I like!

And of course
Who can forget Man United hammering 5 goals in 45 mins?
You need ppl to kick you in the private parts before can wake up
And thats how it goes last night

But 5 goals
5 solid brilliant goals!
Ah
Football at the very best
=D


Still my favourite player in a United jersey
=)


Come on admit it ppl
Who says the ladies are not drooling after Ronaldo scored
and literally tore off his shirt for celebration
At least I know someone does!
Someone who felt it was worthwhile to catch a United match
just because of moments like this!
=p

Day 1

So here we go with the Perth holiday trip entry!



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



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




"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
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
=)
