Perth Trip day 3

We went to 3 places today.

We started off the day with brunch at Cottesloe Beach. The food was average, but the view was fantastic. We didn't exactly sit at the cafe right on the beach, but the view from the road cafe was good enough!



Our next stop was Caversham Wildlife Park. Ah yes, where the kangeroos and koalas roam. Kae was not at all afraid of the animals. I couldn't say much for me though!





The last stop of the day was to Kings Park. As it was a saturday, people venture into the park for a picnic with their families and friends. Kings Park overlooks the Swan River and Darling Range and showcases an outstanding collection of Western Australia flora. It is a popular place for picnics, pleasant walks, cultural and ceremonial events. And I love the place! So pretty and serene!







Perth Trip day 2

We headed towards Fremantle on day 2.

Our plan was to have fish and chips for lunch at Fremantle. Along the way, we stopped by the Monument Hill for some photo taking. Monument Hill has been a popular lookout over Fremantle since the early days of British Colonisation. This place was made a park and continued as a lookout and beauty spot popular among the locals and visitors alike. To commemorate the losses of the 1914-1918 war, the City of Fremantle erected the Fallen Sailors & Soldiers Memorial in1928. To date, Monument Hill continues to be used for memorial services, as a lookout and for recreation.





We had our fish and chips at Kailis'. It was not bad. After lunch, we took a walk at the Fremantle markets, and roamed around the vicinity after that. After Fremantle, we headed down towards Perth city (around Hill Street) for a bit of shopping. As their shopping places close at 9pm on friday nights. Usually their shops all close by 5-6pm!






We didn't buy much stuff; there ain't much to buy! Our loot of the day were just some candies and nougats, a duck "music open box" to appease Kae when she was in a cranky mood at Fremantle, and 2 pairs of Havaianas; 1 for Kae and 1 for mummy!

Perth Trip day 1

We decided to take a short trip to Perth in December, as dar would be on long leave.

We took the morning flight and landed in Perth in the afternoon. Our kind host, Edmund came to fetch us from the airport; we would be staying for 3 nights at their abode located at Joondalup. Initially, I was quite apprehensive, as they have a dog! And all my friends who know me know that I am freaking scared of dogs! As I was chased by a dog before, twice! And the 2nd time, the dog managed to bit off my slip on shoe! But luckily for me, Chester (the dog) was super friendly, and didn't really lick me all that much. And Kae really love Chester! She was so excited at being around a dog for 3 nights. Oh and she love baby Tiffany too!



After settling down at their abode, which is a super nice cosy house, we headed out for dinner. Dinner was yummy! Especially the chilli mussels! I wish they have this in Singapore.

a Joyous wedding dinner

We attended Edmund & Karen's wedding dinner at Concorde Hotel just.


Edna's the 1st guy from our clique to get married. Yup the 1st. And it was a fun dinner to attend. Of course the company matters. These are the people I've known since year 2001, and some 2002. Even though we don't work together anymore, we still kept in touch, and these people are some of the closer friends of mine. Ah yes, the band was really engaging! The night was filled with love, music and laughter. Congrats again Edna & Karen!

Kae's 1st Macs party

Kae attended her very 1st Macs party on sunday.


Kaden was the boy of the hour; he is now 2 years old!


Kae sure had loads of fun playing with daddy's and mummy's friends' kids and babies.






And meet the 2 youngest babies of the group! Left is Nathalie, and right is Junyu, they were born 2 weeks apart :)


And not to forget the cake, or shall I say cakes! The cupcakes were actually for the children; the Thomas Train cake was for Kaden to blow his candles on, but the cake itself was for us adults! It's a lychee martini cake! Hah!
