Showing Diana Joondalup!

While Theo is studying for her final paper... Diana the tourist took a train ride up to Joondalup to see the suburbs... =x

Showed her ECU Joondalup campus... Lakeside Shopping Centre and my suburb... Also had lunch at my place...

My last slice of striploin steak... Haha...

Too much Kangaroo kebabs! =x

My snapper and chip at sweet lips in Leederville... I think it's normal...

Cycling in Perth!

Thought I would cycle to Perth and take a train down to Fremantle and continuing cycling to my attachment at Spearwood... Made a few wrong calculations today... =x

Cockpit!

Bell tower in front of Perth city harbour...

Upon reaching Perth train station at 11.45 (which is damn slow! I expected to reach Perth by 11!)... Found out that not only is the Joondalup line disrupted (which was the reason I decided to cycle to Perth in the first place)... But so are the rest of the trains!

In the end... Cycle to the harbour and took a ferry ride over to South Perth and continued my journey to Spearwood from there...

The Transperth Ferry... The MV Shelley Taylor-Smith! Which brings me from Barrack Street to Mends Street... A 10 minutes ferry trip with a really really great view!

Bike at pier...

My bicycle squashing 2 kids' bike...

Perth city from the other side of the river!

Random sculpture at random park!

My bike at the football pitch... Which amazed some of the team... Who wonder what the hell I'm thinking cycling from Joondalup to Spearwood... I wonder too...

Riding into the sunset...

Bibra lake... In my opinion... The lakes north of the river are more beautiful... =x

Grumpy duck (the left one...) chases a little boy around the playground after the boy tried to play with it... Don't play with ducks!

The mandatory bicycle and signboard photo...

Took the train home from Murdoch...

Cycled around 70km today... My butt aches... But it was good fun... At least I think so... =x Introduced myself to the Perth Bicycling Network... A series of cycling path connecting Perth... Perth's public transport is also more 'bicycle friendly' compared to Singapore... Allowing the carriage of bicycle on it's trains and ferries... Not bus! My bicycle remained as faithful and reliable as ever! =x Have it for almost 8 years already...

Fix Bike Day!

While the girls are having fun in Albany watching whales... I spent my day fixing up my bicycle...

Packed by Hup Leong & Co... Wonderfully packed... And at a great price too! Piece of art! =x

Moko is a curious dog... Staring at the bicycle!

Talk about camwhoring... =x

Broke my bicycle pump into 2... LOL! Waited for Nadia to get back to borrow a pump from her before I could finish fixing up my bicycle... Went for a ride round the estate after that... Felt good to be cycling again... Did I mentioned that Perth is a very nice place to cycle in?

So now my bicycle has been in Singapore, Malaysia, Korea, Japan and Australia! My bicycle been flying around... =x

The gulity box of accessory tat got Shiwei stuck in the custom for a long long time... LOL!

Many thanks to the gang who got my bike here... It wouldn't be here without you! Thanks for lugging it from airport to the other... Ok... So the plane did the lugging... But you people brought it over for me! =) Thanks!

What's Growing in the Backyard...

Spent some times studying psychology and rotting at home today... Decided to post some photos of what's growing in the backyard when I saw the cute little baby tomatoes...

Nadia's tomato plant...

And the baby tomatoes!

Capsicum... Bell pepper... Call it what you like... I don't like eating them...

But they do look pretty cute here...

Parsley...

Liwe... The basil plant... Good for pasta!

Rosemary... Goes with my pork chop...

Steak Photo for the Month!

Very long never post picture of steaks... Here's one!

Striploin steak... Known as the porterhouse steak in Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom... One of the more pricey cut of steak! A very tender and very unused muscle... Characterized by a strip of fat at the side (THE BEST PART OF THE WHOLE STEAK!)... Flavourful... Tender... Juicy...

Cooked to medium well and flavoured with salt, black pepper and a dash of grounded red chilli pepper... It is a delight to senses... =x

As they always say... One steak on plate is worth two on the cow...
