Caversham Wildlife Park Perth

We went to Caversham Wildlife Park! After a 1 hour drive, we finally arrived at Caversham. Usually it takes 30mins to drive there.. but there were massive jams everywhere due to the Easter Weekend Migration, so we got there a bit later. We caught 2 shows, the Molly Farm show at 1pm, and the Wombat Show at 2pm.The Molly Farm show is very fun! There were sheep herding, sheep shearing, sheep feeding and cow milking. :) Very educational and very interactive!


As for the Wombat show, it is not really a show, but a kind of show and take pictures session. We took photos with a Wombat! SO FAT AND CUTE LAH! Then we went to grab an icecream cos it's so freaking hot (32degrees celcius), and went to the Kangaroo enclosure..




Most of the kangaroos were sleeping. I can say around 80% of them were sleeping with their feet in the air.. the rest were just lobbing around, eating the plastic looking pellets that visitors can feed them, or just shitting and staring into space.

Koalas are really cute but we can't hug them. 

New regulations :(

All in all, Caversham Wildlife Park is a must-visit for everyone who comes to Perth!!!! Admission per adult is A$22 and includes all shows and feeding.

.
We have 4 full days left in Perth, and I need to make full use of them before going back to Singapore and back to my dreary working life. :(

.
On the bright side, I can go back and eat all my favourite Singapore foods that doesn't cost an arm and a leg! S$3 chicken rice and S$2 Wanton Mee! :)
.
P.S// One can of coke is around A$3 here, one loaf of bread is A$4.50

Corica Apple Strudel Perth

Corica Apple Strudel from Aberdeen Street, North Bridge.

.

Heard raving reviews from bloggers and everyone who has been to, studied in, stayed in Perth.

They have different flavours and other types of pastries but this one is the best out of the rest. It taste much better than the ones we have in Singapore and the crust still stays crispy and nice even after 2 days in the fridge. The box is sturdy and well made, and the apple tastes like real apples.. not the synthetic kind I tried in Singapore.

\

My colleagues asked me to bring this back home. -___-

.

Firstly, it's not cheap. A$16 each. Also never give me money to buy, expecting me to buy and treat them when they never buy anything back from their holiday trips. Secondly, the custard is considered liquid. How to handcarry it back home? Tabby tried to bring back and her apple strudels got confiscated. I am not gonna spend money to buy something and then let it be confiscated by the customs officers.Thirdly, it's so damn troublesome to carry something so fragile up and down the plane.

Some people are just so annoying.

BBQ Day @ Tabby's balcony

Today we went to the supermarket with Tabby and bought some food back for a impromtu BBQ on her balcony. We cooked sausages, kebabs, onions, baked potatoes and corn. Yum yum! So cool right? Being able to BBQ on her balcony that's facing the swimming pool! 

Paul was at work, so couldn't join us for Round 1 BBQ Session.. We kept some of the food for him, so later when he comes home.

Ok.. now introducing 2 random foods that I absolutely adores... out of the many other foods I like here..

Yummy Yogurt! I eat this everyday. Morning & Night. Yogurt with peaches!

Yummiest fudge i ever tasted!

We bought this in Kalamunda Market for A$5, and there are 2 mini blocks in one packet.. we finished it, and now I want more! Tabby says she will call the number on the packet tmr to ask if we can order and collect from somewhere.. YAY!

Fremantle, Perth

Went to Fremantle today! It's freaking windy and cold in Fremantle! I think it's around 10degrees celcius, plus the strong sea wind.. It's so cold and I wore shirt and shorts!! And it was sunny too! So it's like hot yet cold.. weird combination.

.

I had steamboat lunch with Tabby just now, it's leftovers from our steamboat dinner yesterday, but still as yummy.

.

There are many Asian stalls in Perth, but the food is a bit expensive. It costs an average of A$25 for a simple lunch for two persons outside.. I bought lots of Lean Cuisines and frozen food that can be microwave for A$4 to A$6 per box, and it's super delicious and healthy! 

So now we're trying to eat at home more often. It is freaking expensive to eat outside in Perth. Madness. The other day we went to eat Fish & Chips, and dinner for 4 is around A$100! And it's not even a fine restaurant.. just a causal sit down dinner place.

.

Anyway, the shops close at 5pm and the supermarket close at 6pm.. after only 4days, I feel so laid back and sleepy during the day. Lazy lazy lazy. It's a good change from the stressful office life back home.

.

Tomorrow is Late Night Shopping day cos it's Thursday! All the shops open till.... 9pm! Which is super late for Australians... Hahahahaha!

Greetings from Taichung, Taiwan!

Naruwan Everybody!

I am in DeBao Business Hotel (Taichung) where there's free internet access! :)

We've travelled almost the whole island of Taiwan.
From Taipei to Hualien to Taitung to Pindong to Kaoshiung to Taichung and back to Taipei tomorrow.

Going one loop around the whole country is around 1500km.

There's so many mountainous roads, distance is between 2-3 hrs per destination.. thank god for the anti-motion sickness stickers I bought in Korea last year.. if not i'll be puking my guts out cos I can't sit still in a moving vehicle for long (unless I'm driving it). Moreover i'm sitting on the right side of the vehicle. Usually I must sit on the left side, but bo bian.. it's the local guide's seat.. so everytime i lead tour i will sit on the right..

Just came back from Feng Jia Night Market.. which is the largest night market in the whole of Taiwan. I almost got lost wandering around looking for clothes to buy for my lil sister.. the place is soo freaking huge and it extends out to sooooo many little streets!

In the end I bought 5 tops, 4 necklaces and some DOMO stickers for her.. didn't buy anything for myself cos it's either too expensive, or not suitable for me.

I went to eat Mcdonald's as I have 40mins to kill before the prearranged meeting time, and I realized that their Mcdonald's don't have chilli sauce lah! They say they only have Ketchup, cos Taiwanese only eat Ketchup..... kua kua kua. So weird lor.

Anyway, I realized that Taiwan has...

Very few dustbins.
Are they afraid of bombs? Or maybe because there's no Banglahs to clear the rubbish for them?

Lots of Bubble Tea shops!
I counted.. there's 24 shops in a 100metre radius. Madness.

Lots of Convenience Stalls!
4 out of 10 shops I see are either 7-11, Family Mart, OK Mart.. etc.

No fat people
Everyone is sooooo freaking skinny. Even the old people are skinny. But it's so impossible, cos most of their food are full of artery clogging fats and sugar! Why why why??

Tomorrow our group is heading back to Taipei, and we'll be flying back on Friday afternoon! Time really flies when you're having fun. Gonna dread going back to the office. :( I prefer going out on tours even if it is more draining and tiring cos it's considered working from 7am to 8pm everyday. But at least i get to have fun with customer, chit chat and take many pictures!
Alrighty.. will blog more this saturday cos it's my off day. Gotta go and call my Pipimon now.
BYE!!
