4th Dimension transition: Mondays!

For once we thought we’d be super good and attend all the classes on Monday. We were hoping for a new hydraulics lecturer but to our disbelief, Tong Ming was still the lecturer. I looked around the class and the atmosphere was filled with gloom. More than half the class was falling asleep. The classed sucked in conclusion :P Even I was going @.@ (insane) looking at him teach in his own world.

 

On the other hand I was quite free yesterday. Stayed at home the whole day doing my stuff. And waited till evening to play tennis. Hoho! After that Yi heng became super chef and cooked fried vermicelli with the canned pork slices! So yummy!! But I was the one to teach him the recipe hoho! And also, Pauline had a caffeine overdose during the noon so she was super high the entire day (not to mention super nice). At night she decided to make some pear and plum toppings for the ice cream we bought . Yumm~

The dessert she prepared for us! Not the most presentable one I’d suppose but it is one of the finer tasting ones I’ve eaten. The toppings would beat Mecca’s Strawberry Sundae any day~ Not too sweet and easy to consume!

 

Today’s Wednesday, Thursday is just round the corner and then Friday and hoho! Weekends!

 

Oh one last thing to say, it is more a complain actually. The weather is being a bitch. It is freakin 27 degrees today! Yesterday it was 29 !! Dang!

1000miles: Third day! To and back!

]Ajaajajajaja! The past few days have been terribly cruel to my life. Study study study and exam! Damn steel exam! So freaking hard. So saddening! Haih! Nonetheless we shall skip all the sad things and move on to the last day of my trip down south! On the last day we woke up  at Kingsley Motel in Majinmup  which was in a rather remote area! One thing was for sure, we were all super hungry. So we drove around until we reached our first eatery called Lavender and Berry farm! We had our breakfast there:

Ham and Cheese sandwich! Feng’s

Yvonne and her award winning blueberry sauce and pancake with Vanilla ice cream! All of us ordered the same thing for breakfast hehe. But instead of ordering one, we ordered a quarter and a hot drink. And believe it or not, the quarter filled me up!

This is Polly! YiHeng and Kelvin says the picture does not look too right ahah. They say Pauline does not look so sweet @.@! But okla she always smile to me so looks normal!

 

IMG_3875

Shao Feng and Yvonne! Just look at em!! Breakfast do wonders!!

 

After breakfast we decided to walk to the backyard of the farm. They had an anti-social pony! Some dumb ducks, and a lame bunch of chicken! Buhuhu! But it is ok, we decided to take more pictures! Pauline demanded this:

Damnnnn! And wth why Yi Heng so tall in this picture!! And as you can see, Yi Heng is hiding his fats! hoho!

 

IMG_3903

The farm was a pretty place. What a shame that it is being sold off. Saw the big signboard saying that it was for sale. About 2 million dollars if I remember correctly! After that we headed to the super tall tree in hmmm Pemberton? hoho! I cannot remember already!

IMG_3927

If you’re daring enough you probably would not mind climbing up 50 metres or was it 70 metres high on a ladder :D I climbed up once before so I did not do it again hoho! Also I did not have proper footwear to begin with, so they said no :(

 

That was our last attraction down south! After climbing the tree, we headed back towards Perth making a few stops. None was particularly interesting except Busselton! We had our meal at a restaurant which was quite expensive! Fortunately we did not want to eat much, so we shared our meals since it was already 4 o’clock!

IMG_3954

Some random pasta of the day! Fettuccini  with chicken, err parmesan, sun dried tomatoes? I guess it was pesto pasta.

 

After a light meal, we went to the Busselton jetty to take pictures and enjoy the beach one last time before we headed home for dinner! Great trip down South. Felt very enjoyable despite the short period of time we were there. Would be great if we could just settle down and chill the day instead of jumping from one place to another though! But I cannot blame the schedule. After all we had so many places to visit in so little time. Did not cost too much too! 250 bucks for boarding, food, souvenirs, petrol as well as car rental! Great value there!

 

Time to get back to reality now! Emooooooooooo!!

 

Why is it that my effort did not pay off!?

 

“..we will prevail someday, if we will endure, and if

                                                                 we are not afraid of failure..”

 

Time to plan a counter attack!

1000miles: Second day down south!

IMG_3754

Yesterday we returned both Luke and the car to where they both came from. Different places of course. I hope Luke found his stay in Perth rather enjoying ahah. As for the car, when we returned it the log says that is has only travel 1500+ kilometres which is lesser than my 1000 miles blog post title haha. But oh well, I’ll just keep it there! Weird thing that we travelled so little. I remember travelling 2000kms when I first came down South!  Nonetheless, continuing with my trip down south, we woke up to a morning filled with life as Denmark was having an Easter Carnival. Everyone was up and about as compared to the night before when we drove around the town within 10 minutes and there was not a single soul wandering. There was quite a fair bit of activities to do around there but none of them were interesting. So I decided to go around taking photos of whatever I could can snapped! A little though run through my head when I was taking pictures, why is Denmark not called Canada with the amount of Maple leaves around.

The Carnival was situated near the river which looked very nice with the greeneries around it.

A performance at the Carnival by the local music society

 

IMG_3759

Ice cream in the morning? Woooooo~ Kids are liking it!

 

IMG_3748

After walking awhile it was time to answer my growling tummy. I decided to go with the spud which seemed to be quite favourable with the crowd. I had mine with the LOT. Topped with bacon, coleslaw, sour cream, ham, bacon and diced pineapple.

 

When we decided that we have enjoyed the town of Denmark sufficiently, we packed up and left to our next stop! JAB! Just Another Beach~ Not quite actually! This one differed a little! This beach actually had people surfing there. The weather was good. Strong winds bringing in decent waves for the kids to rock em’.

IMG_3765

rwarrrr!!

 

IMG_3764

Oh yea the flags blowin!

 

After that we drove towards Pemberton.. drive.. drive.. drive.. drive!

IMG_3769

 

After awhile we finally reached one of the attractions! The Toffee factory! But before we go in, there are several traffic rules to obey hoho!

IMG_3781

:P

 

Seeing the kids having ice creams back at Denmark had us craving for some as well! It was a little sour on mine but the rest loved theirs! We also bought some toffees!

IMG_3784

 

After that we headed over to the tree top walk! Cost us 8 bucks each I think! And Yi Heng legendarily drop his ticket down 20 metres! Fortunately the lady was kind enough to allow Yi Heng through ahah.

IMG_3810

rwarrrrrrrr! After that we went to the walk of ages where we did the Toyota feel good jump again haha

IMG_3817 

 

Also a car accident occured:

IMG_3824

 

After walking on the tree top walk, we decided to go lunch!!!! Drove somewhere but I don’t know where ahah. All the town names all damn weird! Nannup, Manjinmup and sort :S!! Confusing maximum!!

 

IMG_3825

Meal time!!

 

IMG_3826

Fish & Chips

 

IMG_3829

Grilled Chicken Burger

 

IMG_3834

Kelvin’s Pizza!

 

IMG_3837

Luke’s!

 

IMG_3840

Fishman’s Holy Smoked Salmon Burger which looked more like the Foccacia I would get in the refractory.

 

The meal there was pretty good! And more importantly, cheap! Costs us 10 bucks each!! After filling our tummies we went to the Circular lake which made us drive our car through a dirt track which was so bumpy that my burger wanted to jump out of my tummy and it also painted rented car red in colour.

IMG_3847

 

IMG_3850

Two opposites! ahaha!! Sexy Fish! Cool Luke!

 

After the circular lake, we drove all the way to a very secluded town before heading to Windy Harbour! A place very dirty place if you’d ask me. The kids there were kinda racist showing us middle fingers. But oh well I guess if I stayed in such a place I might become like them haha. The lack of human interaction!!!! Damn! After that we drove the entire evening to Pemberton and stayed in Kingsley Motel for the night. We had quite a nice dinner which was somewhat fine dining. Did not cost much though. About 30 bucks for a meal which is still expensive compared to city prices! I liked the garlic prawns but the steak was not as good as the one in Denmark.
