I wanted to post these photos up on Tuesday initially but a high fever got the better of me. So instead of working and getting my changes into production this weekend, I ended up lying in bed, resting and resorting to loads of medicine to cure my fever and flu and headaches.

The few days I was in Perth was really good. Weather-wise it was near perfect except for the 2 days where it rained but other than that, the sky was just so awesome. The air was so fresh and the temperature was perfect!

Thanks Munz who brought me around and became my tourist guide, I headed over to Fremantle on my first day to see the sea and also the markets about.



Over there I tasted some of their famous "fish and chips" at Cicerello's and it did taste nice but honestly, I thought the ones in the UK were nicer. It was about the same as the ones that I had in Sydney previously though.



The sea seemed so calming and there were so much activity about the pier with loads of people lining up to get their food and they had this fantastic system where once you ordered your food they hand you a buzzer. Once your food was ready, the buzzer would buzz and prompt you to collect your food. I guess you can't really have it here in Malaysia because everyone would just nick it.



The one thing I admired about Perth was that the public transport system was so efficient and we travelled about easily without a hitch except for that one occassion where I had drive a friend's car down south to find this secluded macadamia nut factory. Wait, was it walnut? Can't really remember because the ones that I brought back was quickly gobbled up by my dad who thoroughly enjoyed them.



One interesting point I would like to make was that I saw this street basker who was rather unique. First of all, he is playing the bagpipes. Scotland is way off but here is this guy playing it with his lung's full capacity but not only that, he plays it to the background of ROCK music.





Of course after looking at those photos above, it makes a lot more sense now, right?





For more photos from my Perth trip, do visit my Flickr set for higher resolution photos as well.

Yes I am back from Perth. I learned a lot of things about Western Australia and how kangaroo meat tastes like beef if cooked correctly. I also learned not to listen to vet students when they talk about how scary some animal's meat can be and all the diseases that come with it. Will blog more about my trip over the weekend but its back to work for me. Hundreds of emails to catch up on and plenty of post processing to finish.

Heading off to KLGCC later today for a meeting, Boon thinks I am going there to play golf.

Hah, gotcha!

Yes I am in Perth at the moment enjoying the great food and the amazing company. Will definitely blog more about it but at the mean time, here is a shot I took from the plane on the way to Perth. Managed to get some cheap flights on Tiger Airways. Thank goodness that Air Asia now flies to Perth as well.



No, its not a HDR shot. Just tweaked the photo in Lightroom and added the watermark in CS3.

Food onboard Tiger Airways are slightly cheaper compared to Air Asia and if you are comparing dollar to dollar, it is rather affordable for Singaporeans. Anyway the stark contrast between Singapore's Budget Terminal and Changi Airport is just the same between our own LCCT and KLIA.

I need to sleep soon, early day tomorrow with expected showers.
