Pinky in Perth... Part 2 (King's Park)

First real tourist destination was a park near UWA, called the King's Park. Its a scenic and beautiful place, lots of beautiful trees... the way the trees curves... the branches...the grass... and fresh air, cool weather... i love it!!

Me taking the path to "The Secret Garden"...

Gin and me... so loving right?

In a corner of the park... there is a "duck pond" where ducks swim... its so relaxed and comfortable watching the ducks swim. We were watching, watching then me and gin decided to chase the ducks.. haha, when ducks run, they wag their 屁股 when they waddle.. so comical... then they will go to the edge of the point and hop, "plonk" into the water... and i ask her to chase again so that i can take a video... haha...

Taking a slow walk through the park, i've never felt so "good" in a very long time.. but it also depends on who you walk the park with. Singapore lacks such places, its really the place where u get inspiration.. i should have came here during my A levels art project.. but oh well, still got A muahhahaha (*haolian)!!! Reaching the edge of the park, its a breath-taking view of Swan River and Perth city. According to locals, swan sometimes swim inside the river.. thus the name... the night view is equally sublime.

But going to King's park at night to watch the lights, be careful, cos this is a real life experience. Me and Gin were driving home from King's Park at night after watching the city lights, when we saw a white sheet fly towards us and over our car roof. As it passes, the roof crackled and screeched. I was like stunned. On both sides of the roof were super tall trees so its not the branches, and there were no street lamps so i didn't have a very clear view but it was definitely something. I thought it was just me, so i turned and asked Gin, "You saw that?" She was like "No?" But she was slowly sliding down her seat, so I asked again, "You sure? I saw like an apparition or something..."
Then she yelled at me "YES! YES! I SAW IT!! YOU JUST HAD TO ASK AGAIN!!!" Then she went like "AHHHHHH!!!" for like 30 secs... Creepy~...
