Day fifty.

i went to the city today! okay i know i sound totally hysterical and all. but it was really fun to get lost in the city and habour town. i mean if youre on your own, thats scary, but with friends. thats funny;D (dorcas, i still remember being lost with you in town, orchard road- i miss taking pics with the map and being totally stupid with you in finding our way) well the city here aint as big as compared to orchard town back home. in orchard, well one you can get lost (i mean it!) and second you need at least two days to maximum three to tour every last shop in town. perth city is different. everything here is small. the town area mostly occupied by office buildings has only a small part of the city allocated for shops. but anyway still, it was fun walking through all the lanes and loops. when the bus we took entered the city, wow i really miss singapore's high rise buildings- our offices are a whole lot nicer than theirs. but it was a great feeling once again to feel so small in the presence of these tall monsters. you feel like a dwarf just standing below one of those builings. (other than the fact that im just 154cm tall against a building like several metres tall) but thats not the point. i feel the sucess of the country's growth is all based on how magnificent its buildings are and how the city is constructed as.

thanks mummy and shin yun for bringing me around the city and harbour town. whoot whoots! really fun! though the day felt short because ALL THE SHOPS CLOSE BY 5PM. but i had great fun, well a hell lot of fun.

it was really surprising that perth city even had bubble tea to start off with- and i thought the trend died down in spore a long time ago when you start seeing all the potential bubble tea shops cutting down their prices to keep up with competitiveness and soon everyone just starts closing down. but here thats a different story, well it seems to be a fab. everyone loves it. i do, they do, everyone does. i bought passionfruit ice blended with rainbow jelly. i finally settled for that topping after spending like 3 minutes at the front counter staring at the different types of toppings they had ( from sagos to jelly to what else who knows)

roc candy now this is something you can definately eye candy about. and yes!

its number one on my list of things to eye candy on. ohh! if you havent tried one out, remind me to buy back some the next i return. its this really sweet hard candy that you can spend all day ( well maybe not) sucking on. and theres cute pictures on them too! sorry michelle you didnt get to see them make the candy. me and shin yun were really lucky we got there in time and even stole some to taste! i thank the mister in front of us who asked the sales assistant for some for tasting- though she kind of disagreed at first but later changed her mind. she gave them a few blue. 'oh could i have some pink too?' (i was like; ' whoah! youre good! ask her for the yellow one too!' ) but sadly he didnt. ha but im glad he did. cos thats where we stole them from. michelle came back in time to only see them cut up the long candy into bits.

pretzel. three words. nothing tastes better! it was lunch but it was filling. im going to be a bit more adventureous the next. i'll try the cheese and pepperioni instead of just salted.

just look at the big portion i had going into my mouth! im a glutton! smirks;D

we did a LOT of walking about. they showed me around the whole city and all the buses you catch in the city that goes to harbour town. surprisingly, they call them red, blue and yellow cats. dont ask why cats- i have not figured it out as yet. but yeah, all the buses in the city are guess what? FREE. so im in for that! well dont blame me, all sporeans think like that. its a born trait mark. wait, mom dad dont get me wrong, i didnt get that kiasuism from you guys. haha;D anything thats free- ohhh that i like! smirks;D did i say i like treats too! (chris you owe me a treat soon:D) and another funny thing about we sporeans, we love taking pics in the washrooms when in fact there are a whole lot more nice scenic places outside your average flushing systems.
