Perth, Australia - Final Day
There's a reason why my Title is "Final Day"... and that reason is.... I forgot the name of the place. HAHAHAHA!!!
But anyway as mention earlier, this post is for the ladies to enjoy.. Why? Cause its mostly flowers.. and not just any flowers, but tulips, and a couple of other stuffs. There's even black tulips! Not entire black though, purple maybe, but still its dark tulips. Probably the black "sheep" among the "herd".
I actually like the dark tulip, coz its interesting. Anyway, enjoy the pics. =P
Perth City from the skies...
There's actually many more pictures, but you'll need to go to Flickr to see them. ^_^

Perth, Australia - Perth City
My dad was slightly drunk after the wedding lunch but I really wanted to go shopping around Perth City to buy some souvenirs and also to spend some precious time while waiting for dinner rather then sleep at home and rest, though I was pretty tired. =P
Nonetheless, I insisted on going and my mum would of course support me coz I bet she also wanted to go. At the end of the day, I had the honor of driving my sister's car in a foreign land to go shopping! Wooohoo!!! It was a pretty cool experience but I bet things would have been more exciting if Australia driver seats was on the left side like the Americans. Many people must be wondering how on earth I know my way to Perth City to do shopping since it is a foreign land...
Well.... I had GPS... Mwahhaha!
The only part I didn't really enjoy was, I had to adhere strictly to the speed limit for 3 reasons:
1.) My sister will screw me
2.) My mum will nag at me
3.) Even the GPS is nagging at me....
Here are some interesting photo I took for my trip to the city!
On my way for shopping!
Myer's Shopping Mall
Apparently there was a celebrity appearance going on there. I didn't really know who she was, but I'd take a picture anyway. =P
The street that connects I think all the shopping malls around the vicinity, it seems this is the most popular shopping place in Perth city?
Before we left, we were entertained by a family of very young and talented Australians. They played very well, I couldn't hear any wrong notes or crap notes myself as a musician. They entertained the audience well and got some tips. If some of you think they are like street performers you see in Orchard Road, unfortunately I don't think they are, cause they came, played a couple of songs and left. I think their just doing it as a hobby and also to past their sunday afternoon meaningfully. ^_^
My next blog will be full of lovely pictures and I think its one for the ladies to marvel! ^_^
