今天是你的生日啰！
每每到你的生日这天，我就会想到：时间过得真快，一下子就到年尾了！
而今年2008年对你来说应该很特别吧！因为今天你21岁了！
长大喽~
从以前认识的 barbie (babi) doll 直到现在的 penguin，你还是一样的 sweet =)
你都是一直关心身边的朋友，而我很幸运的就是其中一个……
从 Friendster testimonials 到 sms 到 打电话到 blog, 你的‘一言一语’……好笑 + 贴心，真的谢谢你！
21岁生日，许了怎样的愿望呢？
不论你许了几个，我都祝你美梦成真！
剩下来要讲的话好像都写在卡上了，什么青春美丽啦、心想事成之类的祝福语，我想不必在这里重复了，只要你知道，我是真心的祝福你……
还有还有，达到 target 啊！哈哈~
见到你时再请你吃蛋糕, OK?

Thanks to Friendster
Who says Friendster is of no use now?
Thanks to Friendster, I received 2 surprises ever since I came back KB...
First one was on the first morning I was at home (I reached home on 16 Dec night, first morning meant 17 Dec morning).
My phone rang; it's from a number which I did not know. It's a landline number. Hmmm...Who is this, I wonder? I picked up the call and the caller at the other line introduced himself saying he's from Nationwide Express. What, Nationwide Express the courier service calling my Malaysian number? This is odd...and the guy said that I have a parcel! WHOA...a parcel for me on the first morning I'm at home? Great! But who sent that parcel? I couldn't think of anybody who would use courier service to send a parcel...coz usually we just use Pos Malaysia (normal mail)...
Anyway, the guy called to ask for directions to my house, I passed my phone to mum coz I didn't know how to explain directions. Mum told him that we'd just go straight to the office to collect the parcel ourselves because the office is quite near to our house. I was still wondering who the sender was. I guessed it's from a friend in Malaysia (of course Malaysia right) but I couldn't think of anybody. My mum and sister were more excited than me saying I'm lucky haha =P
So we went to the office, I signed and got the parcel, saw the sender address....Marudi! Immediately I knew...it's from Siew Ting!!! =D

I texted Siew Ting to thank for the little sweet surprise. She then called me and said that she got my house address by sending a Friendster message to my sister! How surprised I was...my sister didn't even tell me! (Well if she did tell me it wouldn't be a surprise then =P)
The second surprise was 2 days ago. This time it's my sister, who went to check the mail box and then asked me a weird question, 'Who's N G?'
I casually answered, 'N G? N G for Ng la..'
My sister then said with a puzzled look, 'N G for Ng? Then Angie Ng la? Who is that?'
Upon hearing that, my heart missed a beat, it's Angie! Not N G...I took the letter from her hand and said, 'Aiyo this is Angelene la! It's her handwriting can't you see?'
She sent me a Christmas card =D
The next morning my sister told me Angelene actually sent a Friendster message to her too asking for our home address!
See how Friendster is useful? =P

Perth Trip Day 4 & 5
Day 4: Fremantle
The main reason we went to Fremantle is because of the famous fish and chips (and other seafood) & Fremantle Market.

Spicy and Crunchy Fish & Chips

Fried octopus
Dessert at Joe's...brownies + ice cream!!

Day 5: Curtin Uni & City
Ling Weng toured us around Curtin Uni in the morning before we accompanied her to city for shopping.

We walked around and took some pics before heading to the Fremantle Market.

All in all, it's a great trip despite the 'rumours' that Perth is a boring place...I think it's the friends that matters =D Thanks to our tour guides, friends who provided transport and accommodation and help etc, appreciate them =)
For my other friends who have not visited Perth, if you have 5 days to spare, give Perth a go!

Perth Trip Day 2 & 3
Day 2: Rottnest Island
The main activity to do at Rottnest Island besides sight seeing and taking pictures is cycling. Tourists usually rent bikes and tour around the whole island. Since I can't cycle, I bought a whole day ticket for the bus ride...the bus goes around the island (except Western End) and stops and certain areas eg. bays and beaches. Yu Wan accompanied me for the day. We walked at certain places, hopped on the bus to the areas that we wanted to go, then hopped off and walked again...we're lucky that it's a fine day, not too hot and not too cold =)
Welcome to Rottnest Island =)
At Parker Point...see the sea waters in two colours
Nice view
Another nice one...breathtaking
Lighthouse
We saw a few of these marsupials called quokka
Walking, walking...

We went to UWA (University of Western Australia) at night too...

Went back home feeling tired but satisfied =)
Our 收获 for the day:

- gifts of honey (3 different types in each gift pack)
- nobody bought chocolates because it's kinda expensive
- 3kg of nougats
- good experience of wine tasting (I knew more about wine now hehe)
