Back For Reality

I reckon many feel the same. The post holiday period is not exactly one will fancy. I was away for 10 days and back for only 5, it feels like the other way back round. It's like karma that I have to pay for dumping work out of my face for a while and now its 10 times of what I missed out. Computer reads: "Inbox (200 emails)". It sucks big time. Perth was enjoyable and I literally dragged myself back to this humid land. 5 days before we have to leave, Shimei & I were alreay dreading the idea of going back to work. Anyway.... back to Perth. Before I begin, let me introduce 3 very important members from Jessica's household. (You can pause the music at the bottom of the page if you want.)

Big Sis - Fish!! The smartest, most obedient and coolest dog ever. Aka, shes kinda boring n authistic. hahaha.... But the least worries she gives you. Behold her scream! Believe me, you will go deaf. The tiniest of the 3, but she inputs fear n respect in the other 2 pups.
Best Trick - Please Please!



No. 2 - Lola!! The most lovable dog. She has this tenderness under the thick rough skin. Snores real loud and she's got the coolest tricks!
Check Out her Snore!



The little one - Socks!! The craziest and cheekiest of the 3. Super hyper, cannot stop playing. Loves to disturb everyone especially Lola! Her best fren.
The Chase



This is where I have been staying for the past 10 days. I like the house. Its just the right size and really cosy. Wonder if it's the weather. I love to look into the sky. It somehow calms one. Unexpectedly, We shopped like crazy in Perth. Every shopping centre we stepped in, we ransack. We left Perth without a single Aussie $ left.....My idea was to really chill out and live a wandering time in Perth with no restrictions and time limits. In the end, we were so caught up everyday, apparently it cause me to snore almost every single night. Yes, I snore. I came to find out after loads of complaint from my fren. Its sad news.... I reckon this has made it harder for me to get a partner. Haha...

HarbourTown, Carosel, Garden City & Perth City were the places we spent most of our "mula" ($$)in. There was a day where I really felt like I'm with one of the common auntie tour groups. My sis drove us to Swan Valley, we first head to the Chocolate Factory for some sugar rush, then to the HoneyMaker to resolve my mum's coughing issue, then to the $22 per entry Wildlife Park where there was nothing much to see except for the unusually lazy but cute animals like Koalas & Wombat. I was wondering then that the people there will be really amazed by our Fantastic Singapore Zoo & Night Safari. Next, we wanted to head to the winery for some fine wine. On our way there, Jessie missed a turn and decided to make a 3 point turn at another small turn But! She missed it again because the car behind us was too close. I dunno what got into her head and she ended up driving us into the sand pit. The next thing we know, the car has turned into a Koala. It wouldn't move an inch. Frantic. Me: "F**k...! Why you drive into here?!! What were you thinking?" Jessie: "OMG! I feel so stupid!F**k! " Shimei: Zhen me ban??? Driver remained in the seat flooring the accelerator trying to turn her wheel left & right trying to get out, Passengers ended up giving all our mights to push the antique forward. The wheels turn, Shimei and Me were dusted with sand. The Car wouldn't move.... We were officially stranded on an endless road. A few cars with ang mos passed by jeering. Na bei... Lucky us, a kind hearted Asian man came to our rescue, using his truck and a rope, he pulled us out of the shithole! Wala! Journey continues. We got our wine. Last stop, the most important stop, the Nougart Factory to taste some origins of Aust! Packs of nougarts in our bags and the Smooth Nougart Ice-cream melting in our mouth. We were drained, back to home for some rest.... Drama sia...

Dory, Jessie's housemate brought us to Cottesloe for some tanning. The beach is jus so beautiful. The air is cool, the sand is so fine, the sun shines and the sea is so clear... I think besides the Sunset by the sea in San Francisco, I haven't seen the sea this beautiful. It's got 3 colours! Blue, Light Blue & Green! I love charging into the waves and challenging it. Alot of hot bods by the beach too... Wooooo....
We had an interesting Night Tour of Freyo prison, checked out another side of Perth at Framentle, and we met up with frens over at Perth. Christel says since the move, she has learnt to take things slow. She seems a happy person. And I'm happy for her. Harry is cheerful & nice as ever, its a shame I didn't have more time with them. They are going to build their own house! Wow... And oh! I played 3 nights of Mahjong there too! And I won every night. LOL. I won 16 bucks on Scratchy Card and I lost 60 bucks in the Casino at some fruit wheel game which was rather fun. But... Ouch. No, I am not an addictive gambler.
We had great food throughout the whole week, a few unique restaurants as well, any longer, I swear the plane wouldn't fly. Haha...

Overall, I really enjoyed Perth. Especially, the time with the dogs. Its been the longest time that I haven't touched TV. I only watched 1 DVD out of the 10 days. In which, I think it's an amazing record for a TV addict like me. It's a good place for a breakaway. Wish it was longer. But now I'm back. Back for a reality at the moment. Its time to move on... I still look forward to the next holiday though. Like they say, "You always need another hoilday after a holiday!" And so, I wll work on it. Money!!!!

Short Note: I imagined many many future scenes throughout my life. But never have I imagine this. Me, sleeping soundly in a car my little sis is driving. When I woke up, I realised. My sis has grown up. Shes no longer the rebellious, irritaiting and irresponsible brat. She's an adult and I now have trust in her. Instead of indulging into the freedom of life with possible unacceptable acts, like drugs and ridiclous play, she worked, studied and sort out issues on her own. It's a relief. The decision to finally send her to a foreign land has proven to be right after 3 years. People have asked me, "Don't you feel its unfair that your sis gets to go overseas and not you?" To be honest, I felt it didn't justify for what we once were. But Life works in wonderful ways. And nope, I didn't regret not being headstrong enuff about my decision to US years ago. I enjoyed my schooling days here as well. It has mould me into what I am today. I had wonderful experiences of my own here. So... It's cool. All the best in Sydney Jess! You can make it! You're sneaky in enuff to survive there! Haha... Get a job soon. It's time you contribute to Mom's monthly 4D funds.
