Next stop was a trip to Aquarium of Western Australia (AQWA). Its not as big as think it would be, its almost the same as in Sentosa, but the marine animals, like turtles etc are definitely cleaner (at least not moldy). Just take a look at the pictures. I simply love the jelly fishes...
At the entrance of AQWA, on the wall... got something that looks awfully familiar... Art club should know... the decor looks like my 'A' level's art project... Pinky was ahead of his time ok... but the difference is what they have was a photo while my art project is painted with oil... Haaaa~ brings back memories... My art proj...
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!! Gin embracing mother nature.... 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... Gin by the "Duck pond"...
Gin chasing ducks...
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~...
Finally back from Perth... but its a good trip and a fun experience. Actually should have blogged it long ago... haha but there the network super erm... haha nvm... and also lazy and short of time... so i shall do it now :P
Took an afternoon till night flight, could no slp on that plane, so watch sunset!!!! very pretty... Perth is like really really cold la... its like 4 degrees or something on the coldest night. Thats pretty cold ok. Got me shivering to the bone. I remember on the coldest night, i pee then got smoke... wooo~
And there was this lemon tree below gin's room... i was like so amazed and thrilled cos i never seen a lemon tree before... Lemon tree, taken from gin's window...
Ok... for like the first few days, i was like keeping gin company studying in school cos her exams are still going on, and she studies in school, more efficient. Other than that she still has to do testing, and they do testing on humans.. haha, dunno test for wat la... human guinea pigs.. This is the human movement testing lab... Look what they do, weird tanks and computers linked to the treadmill with wires... Gin fixing the wires.. Look!! They can power a computer with that cycle (like hamsters)!!! Amazing~
So what do i do in the mean time? origami la... and i did quite a lot there, littered gin's table with it and wow-ed her classmates. Thats me doing origami on Gin's table... Thats something new I did!!! Origami eastern dragon!!
Lets do some introduction of her classmates... alot of wonderful people.
This is Danny. My origami disciple as you can see, happily folding. He is a gym instructor and a Human Movement (HM) student. This is Weiliang, soccer coach (the dodgy and no certificate kind) and HM student. Also my euro-buddy in Australia. This is Esther, according to legends, she is a burper. But she cooks damn well... HM student as well... This is Aaron. HM's 副班长. People call him Fishball Yeo cos his face is round. This girl beside Danny is Miriam, also from HM. She was the one who sent me to and from airport. She is a professional church choir singer. Don't see her so smiley, she is the holder of the Singapore A and B Division record for 100m and 400m hurdles. One of them is broken by a Singapore sport's school student, I forgot which one, the other record is still standing. Fierce~!! (somehow she reminds me of 何润东, I think they look alike) This is Taku, a Japanese doing his HM PhD. He is like one of the top swimmer during his time (I think in butterfly or freestyle), and is ever ranked 4th in his country. He also had a world ranking... dun play play... (the food he cooks are delicious)
