Perth trip 2014 - part2

...continue with day1 at perth city center


The tourism information counter personnels are on volunteering basis. I like this. How nice if I am at my old age, I can do volunteering job like this for pass time, chit chatting with people around the world, show directions to lost people :) i was checking the nearest methodist church around the hotel area :)


So time for dinner, we walked around the city center, finally we chose this food court for this stall eat-till-you-full mixed rice :p


Nah, this is the $10 chinese foods + soup for our late lunch + early dinner. The food is nice!


The food court is located near to Coles.


So we come to the supermarket. I see big mushroom! Very fresh.


The peppers are big too.


Hehe we can posing in the supermarket too! See our camera stand? :p


Ta-da! Syiok sendiri moment :D


Continue shopping..


Too many choices of tuna spread :)


These spices are much cheaper compare to Msia. But I didn't buy any back home ><


Finished shopping and having fun at supermarket hehe


For our 4days in-hotel food supply ^^


Night walk to entertainment center


Can come here for concerts. We were talking about maybe one day we should try this - fly to any of the foreign country then attend a concert to one of the hits pops star and experience the atmosphere ^0^


So we saw this patung before we walked around the entertainment center. Snapped the pic coz this patung was cute!



Less than 15min, when we were about to leave the centre, the patung flatten! My sis said 'see, just gone in a minute! We really need to treasure those special and meaningful moments, thing can be disappeared just like that!' Ya, indeed. We should change the habit of 'wait la, later la, next time la..' Coz we might lose the chance if we don't grab it at the right time.


Again, we posing at the street. Really tak tau malu one, the cars were just beside us waiting for the traffic light to turn green, and we were posing for 10sec for the pic to be snapped ^0^


After the night walk, lacking of something... Ya, supper! Let's see how much we have..


Kangaroo on the coin ^^


We got ourselves burger and smoothies. Quite nice!


Makan Makan at the roadside in winter cold wind~


After the supper and nice sister chat, we walked back to the hotel. Dropping by McDonald for washroom :p I saw policemen talking to few teenagers in the restaurant.


Then we saw policemen at the roadside too talking to teenagers. I like this. Instead of waiting for big cases only policemen go and catch people, they do counselling to the street children to prevent crime cases happen. The policemen were on the bicycles just riding on and stopping by conveniently.


A final posing before we went back the room and rest. This was the last time I was with the checked scarf :( the following day, we couldn't find it in the room.. That was my mama's favourite..

Day1 story end.

Perth trip 2014 - part1

Can't recall if I post about this leisure trip. Well am completing this traveling post before I archive all those nice photos in my phone ^^



This time, the trip was planned 10 days before the fly. The luggage was so simple. Sis and I shared a 30kg baggage allowance. With a sling bag and a hand carry bag - keeping my doggy :p


1st time reaching klia2 - way too big for a shopping malls + airport. The building is spacious, like the seats along the aisle and the free space for people to rest and pack.



Supper before flying :)


The ceiling light effect is creative :)


Stay curious. In fact, I am the planner for this trip. My plan was - no plan! So no itinerary prepared. When sis got to know this...


"Follow you will die oo" hahhaa see me apologising? :D


Acted cute in the airport. This journey consider foreign trip exploring as we (I) don't do much study about the place we are going to visit, and in fact, in klia2 airport itself, we started our unknown explore.


So we got a good sleep in flight. Till we don't even bother the hot on-board meal served. We ate the preordered food right before the flight preparing for landing :p


Here we are! Perth airport in 6am+ came our door to feel the weather. Quite nice, not so chilling cool like when we were at japan trip.


Took a free airport ride from international airport to perth domestic airport.



Hahaha.. This was when I started complaining by sis 'wah, you really no plan for this trip! How to get to our hotel?' Ok ok, this was 'the moment' I decided to turn on my data roaming for instant data search to shut my sis mouth ^0^


Waiting for taxi.


This is the taxi we took. An old but fit Aussie lady driving. Very kind and smiling face :)


Well, why so worry about how to get to the hotel? You paid for the can service, then we got here in a minute!


Ta-da! Perth city center! It was very quiet at 8-9am Saturday morning + school holiday.


'Enjoy your stay' ^^


Like this wall deco, maximize the usage of blind corner.


Nice wall deco ^^


Thinking to do one for my house hehehe. So we were trying our luck to checkin early. We supposed to checkin at 2pm, we managed to get in the comfortable room at 10am+ untung lah! So what we do to this extra bonus hours? We sleep! We sleep sepuas puas hati ^0^ see la, 2 tired working mothers so pity huh...



So this is the just-wake-up and feeling guilty faces. We sleep till afternoon despite our alarm setting for an hour :p


So walked down Murray street and looking for late lunch. We saw street performing. I like the people here, when they laugh, they laugh out loud, laugh from the heart that spreading their happiness around too :)


At bookstore


Center of the street


Leave on the floor


Old feel building


Hehehe police car. Well I am doing this for my children ok :p


Very creative artist


Nice huh! Like the colour combination and 3D feel



Performing till night time


Buddy music gang


Some dream chaser stalls


..make up the atrocity feel in this street


..especially with these 2 sweet oriental faces... Hahahhaa :D

To be continued with food of the night.. ^^

2407 Thursday

Good morning today ^^

Feeling to write something but don't know where to start. Hopefully this is not a post to bore you >_<

Backache - quite serious. Force myself to do some stretching exercise on the bed with closing eyes @_@ Wonder what's happening but I don't feel to eat medicine. Hopefully this is because of hormone change, part of pre-menstrual cycle.

Finger still swollen. This time, infection quite serious. Non stop applying antiseptic cream. The house is in mess. Kitchen is full of dirty dishes and rubbish. This morning I was quite piss off to see the kitchen and the full laundry bag, asking children - let's see, how many days we can last for not washing cloths and dishes and you all still having clean shirts to wear and enough cups for plain water. Let's see.

Lecturing children in the car. Trigger point was they mess up my workstation's stuff. Misusing my expensive materials for crafts. Nag and nag from the house to the school, only I alone talking, wonder if they have listened. Sigh.

Morning argument with laogong over the newly bought bowls. Sometime I do feel impressed for those old couples holding hands walking at the park. How many up and down they have been through as a couple of husband and wife before they still can stick together to be life companion at the old age. Not easy. When 2 persons can argue and conflict created from small issues eg even a single bowl purchase or big issue to which school to send the children to, which restaurant to choose for son's wedding luncheon or dinner. Not easy huh. My parents loving partnership are always inspiring me.



Instruction for Christian households



在卡玛著《毁掉中国人婚姻的18个问题》,她谈到《双方家庭的摩擦 - 嫁给(娶)一个人,也就是嫁给(娶》了一个家庭》个案里,提供了以下避免矛盾的六大法宝:
1。夫妻双方最好都有些私房钱,给自己的家人钱、物时,无需告知对方。
2。如果有可能,不要和公婆住在一起。
3。自己的孩子是最好的,所以永远不要在公婆面前说丈夫的不是,也不要在岳父母面前说妻子的不是。
4。给自己的父母花了多少、买了什么,永远别让对方的父母知道;同样,给对方的父母花了多少、买了什么,也永远别让自己的父母知道。
5。夫妻之间的矛盾,自己想办法解决,千万别让彼此的家人掺和进来,更不要向自己的家人诉说对方的不是。
6。现在好多夫妻双方都是独生子女,所以逢年过节去谁家过是一个很容易让夫妻及双方家庭产生矛盾的问题,应该慎重对待,根据各自的实际情况想办法妥善处理,务必做到皆大欢喜。


Some reading on conflicts avoiding in marriage to build happiness - copied from the web. 4.5/6 I have achieved :p so my marriage happiness level should be 75%? Hehe



Have a nice Thursday!

2307

Where time has gone to?
时间都去哪了

门前老树长新芽
院里枯木又开花
半生存了多少话
藏进了满头白发

记忆中的小脚丫
肉嘟嘟的小嘴巴
一生把爱交给他
只为那一声爸妈

时间都去哪儿了
还没好好感受年轻就老了
生儿养女一辈子
满脑子都是孩子哭了笑了

时间都去哪儿了
还没好好看看你眼睛就花了
柴米油盐半辈子
转眼就只剩下满脸的皱纹了

Above song lyric talking about parents done everything for children, till they neglected their own passion and interest in life. All of these because of love to their beloved children and want the children to be happy. When they realized it, the time has gone to no where.



Hope I can be a good parent to my children and yet, I have time for my own dreams. Best of all, chasing my dreams together with my children and laogong ^^ on the other hand, I would like to thank to my papa and mama for loving me so much! Even I am 30+ years old and being a mother of 3, still, I am a baby girl to them ^^



Last Sunday when I was incharged for the Sunday service usher at the church and bbb were in the choir performance group doing their final preparation for the service, I felt blessed. How beautiful it is to have children together serving the church ministries. Feeling united and our mother and children relationship grown closer. As what my sis said, now bbb has grown up, I can do my things. Ya, best of of, doing things together with bbb in more meaningful and fun way ^^

Today I am still with swollen eye and bacteria infected finger.


It is indeed very not comfortable and painful. Last night when Eva asked me to sign some pages of her exercise books, I said my finger was painful. Nice words from her 'eh mummy, your signature is still beautiful' shall I be happy for her comforted compliment or I shall be unsatisfied with her late submission of home works? From May till July homework, she was rushing to complete by last night. Guess, she got final notice from the teacher @_@ I companied her till 11pm. Just sitting beside her and yawning with my infected swollen eye hmmm. Smart people are usually lazy?



Found this on the floor, written by Eva. Some good conclusion on one of the sermons we listened in the church :) sometime we thought children were not listening and not focusing, playing all day long even teachers or parents are talking to them, but they do learn in this playful environment and journey. Surprise! So, the moral of the story is, continue to nag your children ^0^ lastly my bbb commented 'mummy you are so long winded' :p


Hehe nagging from perth to Msia too! :p

Have a good Wednesday!
