Perth, Western Australia
why did i choose to study in
Perth out of so many of Australia states???
maybe coz its nearer to home
(5 hours flight to Singapore)
it's kinda of quite here
and i knew a few ppl here from
my prev visits here
and perth has the wildflowers
seasons as well
which if im not wrong, attracts
lots of tourists during its season in September.
Where am I studying??
Well. I 've just finished my
tourism course with Alexander College,
School
of Hospitality and Tourism.
From Feb 2000 onwards I'll
be continuing with Univ Dip in Business Marketing, which in return will
path the way for me a degree level course with ECU insyaAllah.
I'll still be at Alexander
College for my univ dip course for the next one year and I'm looking forward
being back there to rock the building and drive the lecturers crazy!!!!
To my well loved and respected
lecturers,
Debra Kailis
Cindy Lane
and
Patrick Croll
thanx for bearing with my nonsense
for the past 6 months :)
Keryn Larvae
my principal
for the help in time of need
my favaurite
counsellor
Lynda Ford.... I'll
be around still to bother you time and again :))
and she's got this cute chick
assisting her
I dont know her name but she
knows me hehee
and nice knowing ya too!
(i think everyone knows me
practically but i dont know them!)
my batch of tourism
the new students who bear with
us
From the 11th floor of Alexander
Building we could see the captivating Swan River.
(the lake behind my place is
connected to the Swan River as well)
From Swan River, you could
catch a ferry to South Perth, Fremantle or Rottnest Island.
Up from KIngs Park, which is
quite a few minutes walk away from college,
you could see the whole view
of Perth (ermm not really whole but both sides of Perth)
It's nice and peaceful just
watching the ferries going to and fro,
perth highway in the middle,
the tall buildings and apartments.
Most attractions of Perth lies
out of Perth like,
The Pinnacles
Wave Rock
and Albany
and others
I hope to be able to visit
these places one day!
ah! theres the perth mint (which
all states seems to have one)
the museums.
its
a small world
these place is supercool !!!
theres miniatures trains, cars,
houses, shoes etc, everything small its there.
A friend brought me here on
my first trip and I was impressed, when I came here again recently,
I went with Carmen (my classmate)
and we had great fun wondering around the place
but too bad its closing down!
halal
food?
well, i dont have much prob
with that
theres a few halal restaurants
around run by asians and yes lebanese and turkish ppl as well!
theres one malay cafe which
i frequently visit, opposite the King's Hotel
its OLE
OLE CAFE
run by fellow singaporean couple
KAK YATI & ABANG ISKANDAR
they have a cute lil gal which
i love to tease hehehee
for groceries stuffs i dont
have any probs, as most asian supermarkets (run by indonchinese and vietnamese
mostly) caters to muslims needs as well, like halal chicken (not
those run on the roadside chixs!) and meats, and they separate it from
the porks etc.
and yeah, we do have 'ikan
bilis' and even cincalok down here!!!!!
Fremantle - its about 45 minutes
journey from Perth by train or an hour journey by ferry. Somehow I prefer
taking the train as its easier to get around.
Theres the old prison here,
which they have day and night tours (wonder when will i join in the tour)
markets and cafes!!!!
the markets are not those 'pasar'
if ur thinking likewise
but this is where you could
get cheap bargains
and unique stuffs.
street performers doing their
stunts
and musicians and artists,
theres once when i was so engrossed
with a group of students performance
they kinda of make music with
things like cans, wooden brooms, empty drums and stuffs from daily usage,
it was kewl!!! and the music is great!!!!
i just stood there and watch
em!
hmm what else is in Freo???
come down here and check it
out hehehehe
I havent had the chance to really
explore Perth, as being alone here and not able to drive
and if i could drive it would
have been better hehehe than me and sureya will have a helluva of time!
she knows the way around but
she cant drive!
(go and get ur licence girl!!!!!)
opps how could i forget!
Perth City and Northbridge
hmmm the city isnt that far
away from my place
just a 5 min bus ride and theres
Myers,
Aherns, Target,
these are the major shopping
centres in Perth and King Kong for cheap bargains
hehhe.
Fastfood as everywhere they
are there!!!!
Burger King is called Hungry
Jacks here
there's no 7-eleven! (how i
wish for one!)
and food courts and cafes!
Forum
Cafe -
my fav hangout!
London Court, I dont know why
they name this London Court
yeah yeah I know im a tourism
kid i should know more than you guys
but i cant remember at the
moment for forgive me hehhee
but i think its kinda of like
minieval kind of look which is why it is being called London Court.
NorthBridge
the vibrant part of the city
which only comes alive on weekends and goes on
till the wee hours!!!
cafes, nite clubs, restaurants,
diners,
all is open till late at nite
every fri - sat nite!
unlike the city which closes
at 6 daily
unless on Friday where theres
late nite shopping they closes at 9pm
(in the suburban areas late
nite shopping are on Thursday nite)
I got a women to read Tarot
cards for me and somehow she end up reading my life lines
( i dont believe it but just
for fun ok?)
she said i'd live long till
90++ (insyaAllah heheheeh)
my husband will be a foreigner
(wah lau!!!!!not a singaporean hahahaha)
and ill spent most of my life
in states (i hate that goddamn place! (freedom of speech)
and i'll be a good lawyer (damn!!!!
i should have been one!)
and since im in tourism she
said id do well
and id be able to migrate somewhere
easily (not the states not there! please please please)
hahaha anyway, it was fun reading
the life lines
though i dont believe in it
but just do it for fun!
