OK... Reached Perth and my sis picked my parents and I from the airport. Slept till 10am in the morning on the same day. Then went to eat fish and chips for breakfast. After that went to Garden City shopping mall. Super big and makes Spring looks like a small shop and some more it's not even the biggest in Perth yet. Went to the supermarket which is coles, or u can go to woolsworth. I wanted to get a phone number there but didn't bring my passport so couldn't buy. Didn't do really much that day so yea. But I did have dinner with my cousin before she left to go back to Kuching for CNY. OH ya, and my tooth filling came out and I was like I'm in deep s***. Dentist fees in Perth is like wow. I've been in Perth 1 day and this happens. So I made an appointment and luckily there was an opening.
Day 2... Woke up, ate breakfast, which was cooked at home. Um, I think it was eggs, bacon and sausage. Not so rich to eat buffet. Lol.... After that, went to visit Taylors College, Currie Hall and UWA... The school isn't that bad and the boarding place seems nice. That practically took up half of my day. After that we went to the bank to start an account for me. Super fast and efficient not like Malaysia where it takes 3 ppl to do smt 1 person can do. Lol. Went to the dentisit and it was near my sis's place. The doctor wasn't "ang mo" but asian. Dr. Michael Chan. The clinic was awsome. There's even a TV attatched to the ceiling so u can watch tv while u are lying down on the chair. So cool. Did and X-Ray and Filling..... Which comes to a total of AUD 267. Inclusive of consultation fee. No wonder dentists make a lot overseas.
Day 3......Visited Freemantle + Northbridge. First was freemantle market. Super nice. All the fresh fruits and Vegetables. Wow. After that was to eat Fish and Chips again. So super nice. Best ever. But super ex if u convert to malaysian ringgit. Went for a bus ride just to get used to it so I would know how to use it when I start College. We went to Carousel after that, which is an even bigger and better shopping mall. There's 3 supermarkets there - Coles, Woolsworth and Target. Super BIG..... To Peggy: UNACO still the best right... Haha... So I went to get a phone number there finally. I survived 3 days without a phone. New Record. This time I remembered to bring my IC along. Got a number finally on 3 service. not bad right. (+61425152727). Quite easy to remember.
Day 4 (Today).....Ok. Today went to Swan Valley to see wines, honey, chocolates and fruits. So super nice. The chocolates were super nice and super expensive. Nothing much too and on the way back, went to Garden City Mall to buy food cause Monday would be Australia Day and all the shops would be closed. Went to Coles again. Oh ya, I do not know how but my sister got my parents to get her a Nintendo Wii and Wii Fit. So I won't be so bored here after all. Going to get the Wii Fit soon but got the Wii Sports game so far. Oh ya, I met Joey and Chang Mien in the shopping mall. So coincidental. So went back after that, cooked dinner, then played Wii.... Aus Open going on. Can't believe I watched a match which lasted 4 hours. But damn it's nice. So jealous Aus Open not in Perth.
I wanna go back for CNY.... 5 reasons why.
- I wan ang pow
- I wan play 21
- I wan go visitin with friends
- Perth no frens
- Have to study while ppl having fun in Kuching
Anyway, have a Happy CHINESE NEW YEAR in Kuching, without me....sniff.
