Perth - finally

Okay so sorry for super long delay.

See problem was that the SD card that I bought from this fella wasn't working so I had to hunt high and low for the cable that I needed to hook my Nikon up to my laptop in order to load the pictures. Sigh. Thank God my cam had this cable otherwise all the pictures I took habis lah! (translated: finished lah!).
So anyway, here are some of the pictures I managed to take on my trip. :)


It was SUCH a beautiful day, I went out into town on my own (Lena had to work)

The sun went away the moment I took this shot, but you can still see how beautiful these old shops are.
Went back outside, took a shot of myselt hoping to get the city behind me. Oh well. : No one said I was a good photographer. heh.

YEAH. Went a tad overboard with the shopping.. Hey they actually have 1/2 sizes there ok! As in if you're between a 9 and a 10, shoe size, you can buy size 9 1/2! How cool is that?!

Suddenly I craved local food. As in Asian food. And whoopdeedaa look what I came across???

ASIAN CUISINE BABY! (It was like AUD$10 for a bowl of wan tan mee okay. They call it "Dumpling Noodles". Lol.

Me patiently waiting for my bowl of "Dumpling Noodles with Soup".

And life was good. ;)

I took the bus back to Lena's place, and itchy snappy fingers, took a shot of what busses look like in Perth.

So that night, we all got dolled up, Myself, my sister and my bestie Daphne, and we headed to this place called the Red Sea. Pretty cool, wish I could take more pictures of the interior, but Lena confiscated my camera 'cause she was like, "you're here to have a good time, not take pictures of people!!" .......uh ok Che. Sorry ah.

Group shot!!

I heart Lena!

Last shot of the night - my amused face. Lol.

The next day was BEAUTIFUL! Had some friends who had a boat and we all went out wakeboarding.

Shiok right. Sigh. If only Singapore's waters were like that..

Lots of jellyfish in the water, but apparently they're absolutely harmless.

This guy's name was also Andrea - and was the only Andrea that got into the water that day. I was too cold lah. Heh.

My darling sister, her friends

More of her friends - we were eating Dim Sum. It was very good, but not quite as good as Crystal Jade Kitchen (Level 2 Takashimaya)

Love you Lena! xoxoxo!

So yeaaaah. Perth was absolutely gorgeouss. I still have more pictures, which are self-explanatory.

Cottesloe beach!

Was totally rejuvenated after my trip there... seriously people. If you guys just need to recharge your batts, head down south. The air is so clean and crisp, it almost *tastes* sweet. That being said - I still love Singapore and Malaysia - Muggy weather, 38c 98% humidity and all! ;)

James Blunt Concert and Perth City!

Okay guys sorry it took so long - my sister's internet not working la. So here i am sitting at an internet cafe. Lol. I had to buy another SD card for my camera, 'cause my old one just didn't have enough memory to support my 3mb pics. ;) The things I do for you guys my readers I tell you... Anyhoo. First Up: James blunt concert. AMAZING.

Here are some other pics taken, I was there with DJ Rosalyn Lee (98.7fm), and we had much fun. Thanks to Michael Hoskings of MIDAS for the amazing concert tickets - our seats were AWESOME! 2nd row from the front.

Yes. Thats James Blunt. Surfing on a piano.

Yah I know I was wearing too much undereye powder. Remember that I'm still catching up on sleep over the past few weeks okayyyy.. ;P

Anyhoo. Just to note again, James blunt concert. AMAZING.

I took a video, but can't seem to upload it....will have to do it later, need to get back on the streets of Perth now, 'cause all the shops here clsoe at 5pm. Lol. Will really try to upload them later, the sound not that great on my camera, but its SO SUPER CLEAR! (the Image I mean). I LOVE MY NIKON!! ;)

Okay what's next: Ah yes. Perth. Its beautiful. Unfortunately I had to upload these pics and videos on before I could take more pictures, so you're gonna have to wait till I get back and upload them ALL! ;)

Its really great getting away from Singapore for a coupla days to come to Perth.. Its so laid back, really relaxing. And funnily enough: the air smells GOOD. Like, clean! I've never felt so rejuvenated in my life, lungs wise. Heh.

NO MORE PENS, NO MORE BOOKS!

(No more teacher's dirty looks!)

*hehehehehehehe*

Yep, ladies and gentlemen who read this: I HAVE OFFICIALLY COMPLETED ALL MY NECESSARY MODULES FOR MY LLB (HONS) IN LAW. For this I would like to thank my friends, who have helped me out a great deal with 'mugger' notes, my lecturers who have kindly assisted me throughout my years at NUS Law, and my family who have supported me and never failed to keep driving the point home that I needed to complete my degree. :)

That being said, its been a great four years at NUS Law, I am so happy I chose to come here to Singapore for my graduate studies - for more reasons than one of course. ;)

I am going to be taking it easy this week/month, don't have too much work to do. Decided to scrape some cash together and go travelling. Will be flying to Perth for a week or so to visit my sister, then back to KL to spend time with mum and dad. Will probably be back in Singapore the end of the month. Next month I'm hoping to go to Canada/Las Vegas (wherever my darling bestie Fei Fei can meet me - she's from Canada), and hopefully drop into London to visit my nephew and my sisters. :)

I think I'm going to be so broke when I come back. *grin* But it'll be worth it. I've been working/studying non-stop for the last year and a half, I deserve a break I reckon.

Oh and to answer someone's question, yes I'll be going to the James Blunt concert! Come up and say hi if you see me! :)

Anyway, just picked up the papers today; they're setting up MORE ERPs at the north/south bridge area. Looks like sooner or later Singapore's just going to be like Tokyo. EVERYONE's gonna take the busses and trains. (hey that's a bachelor girl song. heh.)

Anyways, will be trying my best to post as often as I can while I'm gone, will be taking my Nikon digicam with me and snapping away as I go. So tune in to this page, and travel with me! :)

I don't wanna wait for our lives to be over...

E's post there about my music made me think of songs... and somehow I thought of this as I was walking back from the grocery shop just now. I've been feeling really drained of late, no prizes for guessing. ;) Anyhoos its a really old song, it was pretty big in Malaysia while I was a teen - was it big here in Singapore?

Anyway Paula Cole is an incredibly underrated artist - just 'cause she didn't do the whole "Mariah Carey" image change (ala 'Honey' music video debut)... Oh well. So here's to Paula Cole. She also sang "Where Have All The Cowboys Gone". I much prefer this one tho, just read along to the lyrics while you listen to the song...

So open up your morning light
And Say a little prayer for I
You know that if we are to stay alive
To see the peace in every eye

She had two babies
One was 6 plus one was 3
In the war of '44

Every time the phone rang
Every heart beat stinging
When she thought it was GOD calling her
Oh would her son grow to know his father?

I don't wanna wait
For our lives to be over
I want to know right now
What will it be?
I don't wanna wait
For our lives to over
Will it be yes or will it be.... Sorry?

He showed up all wet
On the rainy front porch step
Wearing shrapnals in his skin

And the war he saw
Lives inside him still
It's so hard to be gentle and warm
The years pass by and now he has grand-daughters

I don't wanna wait
For our lives to be over
I want to know right now
What will it be?

I don't wanna wait
For our lives to be over
Will it be yes or will it be....

Oh, so dig a little more deeply, my love
All we have is the very moment
And I don't want to do what
His father and his father and his father did
I want to be here now...

So open up you morning light
And say a little prayer for I
You konw that if we are to stay alive
To see the peace in every eye

I don't wanna wait
For our lives to be over
I want to know right now
What will it be?

I don't wanna wait
For our lives to over
Will it be yes or will it be....

I don't wanna wait
For our lives to be over
I want to know right now
What will it be?

I don't wanna wait
For our lives to over
Will it be yes or will it be...Sorry?

So open up you morning light
And say a little prayer for I
You konw that if we are to stay alive
To see the love in every eye...
