Escape to WA

Life has been pretty chaotic lately...busy with work mostly...and given the mad rush in the morning, I haven't been able to take any pictures...don't really have to mood to dress up either...so it's better not to show what I'm wearing...haha...:P

But still managed to go on a holiday with the bf...yippee...I love Holidays!!!

Went to Western Australia, covering Perth, Mandurah and Margaret River...

Really like it in Australia...There's a laidback vibe to it and the weather is cool with gentle breeze...it does get really cold at night though...good excuse to cuddle up I guess...;P

Managed to drop by many places along the road trip...Highlights include a sightseeing flight above rottnest island on a hmm-I-don't-know-what-it's-called smallish 4-seater plane...I think it's really cool...Great experience...and the sight was breathtaking....

Had fish and chips at Fremantle and took a nice pic on the beach when the sun was setting...

We also managed to go to King's park where we took this pic... hee...so cute ya? ;P

Spent around 3 days in Perth City. After which, we dropped by Mandurah, enroute to Margaret River. Bunked in at a friend's place in Mandurah...very hospitable couple...almost couldn't believe there are such nice people around...really heartwarming...and we celebrated bf's birthday there...=)

Happiness...;)

This is all of us...looking slightly intoxicated...haha

Night view outside their lovely home...can see many many stars...beautiful...we spotted a kangaroo hopping past too...but it was freezing cold...and we couldn't really hang out there for long...

After the short stay in Mandurah, we drove to Margaret River...

Margaret River was beautiful and picturesque with nice lighthouse and beaches...

That's us walking towards the lighthouse...things you can do with a tripod...heh...

Of course we didn't miss the chance to climb to the top of the lighthouse...very pretty...and windy too...feels like I'm being blown away...

Went wine tasting in the many vineyards lining the entire Margaret River...was very educational...am able to appreciate wine so much better after this enriching trip...nice to unwind with a nice bottle of white wine once in a while...

Aww...Love Australia...I'm missing it already...will be going back there soon I hope...;)

Oh well, looking forward to the next trip...

A true friend?

Recently, I managed to catch up with a friend over dinner...was abit disturbed after that...

While busy updating each other with the major happenings in our lives, I find that the subject matter always deviates towards her... even when I managed to squeeze in a highly important piece of good news, she did not congratulate me...Instead, she passed some snide remarks...

It makes me wonder...what is going on between us? Why isn't she happy for me? I would be happy for her...congratulate her...and tell her all the good things that will come along...

Well, an important lesson learnt... I think it takes a true friend, someone who has a big heart to love you for who you are, feel happy for you during good times and be there for you when you are down...

This person...sadly...is not...

Went out for brunch with my gf. Casual outfit for a casual sunday.

Lots happening lately...good ones... :)
I'm totally looking forward to everything...

Had some fun photo-taking with the bf's DSLR...

Thankful for all the help... :) 

Feeling warm and fuzzy today...

Wanted to paint 2 of my walls white and dad finished it within the weekend...

Came home with a runny nose at night and the next day, there was panadol flu tablets and the lemony hot remedy thingy on my table...with a note from dad..."don't know which is good, so i got both"...so touched...I have the best daddy in the world! :)

Feeling happy today... cos I will be leaving for a short trip very soon...:)

Looking forward to all the shopping I can do on the trip...Oh it's Bangkok by the way...

Forgot to bring my camera home, so this is taken with my handphone...really bad resolution...

Wearing a pinkish chiffon skirt...makes me feel more girlish...heh...

Have been busy packing up my room these few days... quite amazed with the amount of rubbish I have accumulated over the years... Things which were once precious looked totally ridiculous to me now... like my hello kitty stuff...heh... Well well, an important lesson...don't "save" things because you can't bear to use it...if you like something, get it and use it now...may not be relevant in the future anyway...:p

Yup, packing up the things to clear space from my shelves...doing some painting too...nothing major though...just find the 4 purple walls abit overwhelming now...so it's gonna be 2 purple and 2 white...

I'm in a floral mood...:)
