I’m back to blog! Finally have some time after my mid-sems and assignments. Woohoo! I think i did pretty okay for my test.. Might have done better if i put in more effort.. but hopefully i’ll still get a good grade! And now its Easter break as well as a term break in the coming week. Lots of stuff happening! I’m so excited!!! =)
I’ve got quite a bit of photos here.. but most of them are still on Facebook. It’s easier to just upload them in bulk on FB then to blog them one by one here. I HAVE been studying hard hor.. its not all fun and play. Usually we only do the more exciting stuff on the weekends.
1. Hillary’s Harbour
We (Isaac, Joel and Jon) went to Hillary’s Harbour a few weeks back.. its about 45min drive from where I stay.
Welcome to Hillary's Harbour
I’m in love with the waters here! So blue and clear… and Perth has lots of beaches and waters around it. So beautiful! We had lunch, walked around a bit.. it kinda looks like Freo but less bustling and lesser shops also. Their marine aquarium, AQWA, is also situated there.. quite nice but i still think Sentosa’s Underwater World is better than this.
Mega huge sting ray
Sharkieee
Ugly fish...
Bouncy jellyfish!
The cutest fish ever! Doesnt he look like he's smiling??
Okayy.. the photos are not fab la.. mainly cos the’re all in the tanks and have a blue shade to it. There was a touch pool to touch starfish, other fishes.. oh and there was this stingray that behaved like a dog! It loves to be petted by people.. and it’ll swim to you, poke its head out and let u touch its body! All the pics on Facebook if you’re interested. =)
The boys and i got a bit lazy to walk some more, so we picnic-ed on the grass and played cards till it was almost dinner time.
Zakeroo!
Joel!
Jon... the kid of the group!
Group peekture! (With the shadow of my arm.. heh)
The quiet and empty beach.. lovely!
We went to a fab Itallian place for dinner.. and the portions are huge! We only needed to order 2 mains and one salad to feed the 4 of us. Then we went to catch Shoppaholic! Can you imagine 3 boys going to watch that.. and zak was watching it for the 2nd time! hahaha.. good thing the movie was pretty good la. =)
2. Horseback-Riding
Bernard, Karen and Joanna invited me to go Horseback riding with them one sat morning cos it was Karen sister’s (Maggie) birthday. Maggie’s a really cool person.. she’s a professional cake designer based in Hong Kong. Jo and I gonna learn from her later this month!
The horses are so beautiful and tame.. it was fun to ride them! I realised even for them to just trot is a bit scary.. haha.. but i love the feeling of riding in open plains, with wild kangaroos watching us in their herds.
The horses waiting for us
My horse, Lady.

The little lady and I
Lady keeps grabbing food to eat while walking.. haha.. i guess she loves snacking along the way. If only horses are cheap and if only there’s room for horses in Singapore. I can only dream.
3. Parasailing @ Freo
Had one of the most awesome Saturday with some FCC peeps and Joanna. Parasailing is a once in a lifetime experience.. not as exhilarating as sky diving (another thing that i wanna do in the next 10 years.. heh), but the process of going up and being high up in the sky, looking around at the beautiful ocean and land, is just breath-taking. Wished i took my camera up with me, but didn’t wanna risk getting it wet or dropping it.
The line is about 300m long and depending on the speed of the boat, you could go really high or get dunked into the ocean before being pulled up again.
Jo and i waiting to board the boat.
The girls L to R: Melissa, Joanna, me, Jennifer
Beautiful...
