Caversham... Again!

This is how a koala looks like when it's sleeping... Cute cute cute! I wanna keep a koala...

Claire feeding a kangaroo... The kangaroos here in Caversham wildlife park are pretty lazy... Just lounging under the sun... Waiting for silly tourist to feed them!

Joey in a pouch...

Donkey needs to brush his teeth!

Tasmania devil... Nothing like the cartoon... It's surprisingly cute...

Newly laid cement pathway... Newly printed peacock feet! They can keep the kangaroos out... But there's nothing they could do about the peacocks...

Hell of an Ugly Bird!

Emu head!

Here we have a male emu laying on eggs (Like most animals... Including humans... The male do most of the work! =P)... It will continue warming the egg for 56 days... With no food or water... In all kind of weather! Rain, shine or hail! Just laying there on his egg... In a mating season... The female is likely to have 3 husband and 3 piles of eggs... And they run off!

Dark green emu eggs! I wonder how many people I can feed with 1 of those egg...

The emu in full glory...

Sheep... Residents of the Emu farm... This emu farm has 500 emus and 700 sheeps... But who wanna see sheeps?

Here in Toodyay... The police station and the court is together! So they can catch the criminals! And charge them straightaway! =P

MTV-style photo... Mwahaha...

AQWA!

Finally got to AQWA! Aquariums are always good fun... Photos on this and the following posts are courtesy of my bro-in-law who have a much better camera then I will ever have! =x

If they are red... Are they already cooked? And if they are cooked... When can we eat them?

Cutest fish I ever seen...

Some sorta coral thing-a-ling-ling...

'Just what I need! A binocular so I can see the floor better with!'

While AQWA is a great aquarium with a great variety of fishes... After going to the Osaka Aquarium... Most other aquariums can't match up! The Osaka aquarium has a 'WOO!' factor... The AQWA is a good learning aquarium with a nice touch pool... But no 'WOO!' factor... Still I enjoyed my time there...

Rottnest Island!

Ferry service to Rottnest Island...

Rottnest Island... So called because the dutch explorer who first landed on the island is an idiot and think that the Quokkas are rats... Thus he called it a rat's nest... Woo!

Rottnest island is powered by a combination of diesal and wind power... First time I saw a wind turbine! It's pretty cool...

Quokka! Really cute little things...

Australia has a highly biased proportion of the World's cutest animals...

If you have so much food in front of you... You will be grinning too!

Dockers Vs. Eagles!

Subiaco Oval!

The crowd swarming into Subiaco Oval... First time I board a packed train in Perth...

Home of Football!

West Coast Eagles Players...

Crowd before kick off!

Up came the purple flags when the Dockers scores...

And up came the golden flags when the Eagles scores!

Final score... 71-66 with a crowd of 39,536...

Match wise... Quite a comical act... Players who can't kick, pass or catch... And when they do... It's to their opponents... Eagles was playing the better game between the 2... But they can't score! In the end... You can see that the Dockers want it more! And they got it!

Likely to go down to another AFL match before the season ends... Hohoho...

AFL!

My tickets to the Western Derby! Dockers vs. Eagles! The match that will give the team some bragging rights in the region (mainly because they are both out of the running for the finals...)...

In other news... My mum... Sis... Bro-in-law and Niece are in town... Yeah!

Pancakes!

Green's pancake mix in a bottle... 2 for $5! Just add water and shake until you DIE!

Batter on a non stick pan...

First pancake! Bits of white spot here and there... The next 15 pancakes managed to be all golden brown on the top! I think it's because the pan is hot enough after the first...

Stack of pancakes... Just like 1960s American comedies... Ate 8 of them at 1 go... Kept the other 8 in my fridge... Not feeling very well now... =P

Hail! Hail! Hailstorm!!!

Normally I don't upload photos from my phone because the picture quality is just inferior... But today I got no choice...Went out grocery shopping and witnessed a hailstorm!

Was in the asian restaruant that serve crappy asian food like most asian restaurant in Australia when all hail break lose... I was about to take my walk home when it started raining, so I stepped back and took a pair of wooden chopsticks to start eating instead... Then the rain turned to hail... Striking the roof and making quite a noise! Cars' alarms goes off outside... The shop owner and cook was both very excited over ice falling from the sky... It was over in about 2 minutes and the ground was riddled with pea sized ice pellets...

Ice pellets everywhere!

It's really quite beautiful... The closest thing people will get to having snow in Perth...

Simply Amazing...

The Hamersley Reserve side had a great game and came out 5-0 winners... But the story of the day would be the 1st team comeback over Wanneroo City in the Amatuer Cup... At one point, 1-3 down... They do not look like they are going to score another, much less win... But they did... And it was amazing... A goal from Craig set motion into action and Nahom scored next to level the score at 3-3... The captain scored the winner with a sweet sweet strike... We held on till the end, securing the win, and a spot in the quarter finals of the cup... Sweet...

Had a smirk on my face for the rest of the day... Which was spent washing dishes from 6.30 till midnight at Sizzler... If I am a superhero... I would be called the Scour! Scrubbing the World free of crime! =P

Aussie ninja van! Comes with an expresso machine at the back... Sweet! $5 for a large pop of cafe latte...

Of Drunk Robber and New Carpet!

A drunk guy tried to rob me on thursday night... He was the most irritating and stupid robber I have met... He's also the only robber I have met... And I hope he remains the only 1 I will ever meet... And calling him a robber is an insult to all robbers... Because basically... He's just a dumb drunk...

Took the 2245 bus home after football training... I could smell beer lingering around him at the interchange... We got onto the same bus... Halfway through... He started talking to me!

"What bus is this?"
"464..."
Where are you going?"
"Home..."

Then he changed seat to get closer to me...

"What ya got in your bag?"
"A first aid kit..."
"I mean the backpack..."
"Nothing..."
"I'm gonna hit you..."
"Ok..."
"You have a mobile?"
"No..."
"Give me your mobile!"
"You want my number?"
"Give me your mobile!"
"No..."
"Get off the next stop and fight me!"
"No..."

At this point I got irritated and walked to the front of the bus to tell the bus driver... And he followed me... And then he started to kick me! As hard as a guy who can't stand properly on his feet can kick... Which is... Not very much... So I just smiled at him... The bus driver stopped and ask him to get off the bus... He tried to give me 1 final kick... Missed and kicked the bus instead... =/

There is actually so much I can do to him... Smack him round abit... Call the cops... Tie him to a tree... But in the end, I choose to let it go... And laugh at his pathetic-ness... Here's a little tip to robbers wannabe... If you wanna rob someone... Don't drink beer beforehand...


Alex, my landlord brought a new set of carpet for him living room... Spent my morning watching the carpet layer at work...

Old carpet...

Bare... Cold... Concrete floor!

The new carpet is made by bridgestone?!?

New carpet in the living room... Really quite nice... Alex spent 10 minutes rolling over it with Moko...

Moko posing... As usual...

Watched Transformers today too! Nice movie! Bad show... Weak storyline... But 1 hell of an action packed ride to happiness! Totally ridiculous! Totally awesome! It's $14 a pop... Does explain why this is the first time in 5 months I went to the cinema...

Robbie Scored! And Glory got SMASHED!!!!!

Watched 2 more matches at the MES... North Queensland Fury vs. Wolverhampton Wanderers and Perth Glory vs. Fulham...

Action please!

For the Robbie Fowler fans...

Robbie scoring a penalty to bring the game level! Final score 2-1 to the Wolves...

A pretty good and very intense match... Both side going for it... Robbie really added another dimension to NQF after coming on...

In-between match meal of baked potato... Italian tomatoe with cheese and sour cream... For $9 a pop... So expensive... I ate the skin too! =x

Crowd...

The second match was a washout, mainly because of the rain... Partially because Glory tumbled over and got smashed... Don't think Glory will be challenging for the A-League title or an ACL spot this year... Really... I hope they do... Because that will be the only way I will ever get to see a Singapore Club play here (if SAFFC wins the league and the playoff... Got chance...)...

First half ended 0-1 to Fulham... Final score 0-5... The last 3 goals from Fulham were class act... So simple... And yet so beautiful... Embarassment for Glory...

This match came completed with a topless streaker who ran across the field with the crowd cheering for him... Considering the rain, the wind and the temperature... He's crazy!

No umbrella... No raincoat... A handbag over the head will do just fine...

Commerative scarf... Brought for fun... Just marking another day in my life with a silly souvenier... Hehe...

Will be watching the Western Derby next week between the Fremantle Dockers and West Coast Eagles next week... Considering that they are both out of the running(spare a miracle) for the title... This could be an important match for the players and fans to regain some bragging rights... The first derby this year was won by Freo 74-87 with a 41,654 crowd...
