came back from australia last week.. :)
went there to visit my aunt (godma) together with some of her friends..
spent the first day in her house after we arrvied in australia..
the second day, shopped around int he city..went to the chinese cultural center with her for a CNY dinner :)
lotsa 'tai-tais' there..
and there was a line-dancing, ballroom dancing event.. spent a few hours watching the people there dance :) the food was not bad :)
on the third day, godma rented a car and off we went to Albany :D
planned to visit her friend Elsa in boddington.. :)
got a li lost.. so we stopped by a farm to ask for directions.. and it happened that their sheepdog was SO HUGE!! O___O was quite happy to see strangers at the front porch haha.. :) jumping and running around.. gosh looks larger than a lamb :P

HUGE DOG!!! (taller than fence!)
finally found the house.. and ate out lunch there :) the old couple have planted fruit trees in their back garden!! lemons, prunes, pears, apples, mulberries, grapes etc, etc.. :) lol.. the aunties had fun picking them.. but i guessed they picked quite alot.. :P a bit too much i would say -.-

den after that we continued our travel up to Albany :) arrived at godma's friend's daughter home :) just few miles away from Albany :) we were gonna stay over at her house for 2 days :)
i fell in love with the place here!! love her house.. so much like a chalet!! except it's a lot more cosy :) altohugh it's summer.. it's really cold here.. hehe love the cooling breeze.. and mind you.. they have 57 acres of land O__O :) one football field is not even 1 acre haha.. so i shall let u guys do the math.

my dream home :P
went up to Albany the next day :) ent to elephant rocks, green pool, the Gap.. went to the edge of antartica too :P

love the blue sea :)

at "The Gap"

Elephant rocks.. as u can see.. the rocks look like backs of the elephants :)


had dinner back at the house :) auntie pauline cooked up quite a few dishes!! hainanese chicken rice!! :D haha.. the good thing about going on trips with aunties is that.. they are very good at housekeeping.. and excellent chefs too!! :P all the dishes were done up within 30mins :)
of course.. the down side is that.. they tend to be a lil naggy :P wahaha.. i didn;t help much.. except washing the dishes and laying out the tableware :)

Hainese chicken rice!! :)
on the second night, the neighbour from the opposite farm came over :) well.. of course they didn;t expect there would be guests in the house.. haha.. they brought over red wine and their sheepdogs along :) chatted over dinner.. i was mainly in the room talking to the other 2 aunties.. hehe.. didn't join the table.. coz it was were 'adult' talks.. -.-
the next morning we were on our journey back to perth.. den we headed down to another of godma's friend's house for dinner.. was kinda decided suddenly.. coz she meant to pick her up from the college (she's a lecturer there) and send her home.. but she invited us over to her house for dinner anyway :) and wala~!! while godma and i went to get stuff for desserts at the nearby supermart, they whipped up a few dishes! :)

all these are from her garden!! except for the roast pork and roast duck :P

hehe.. the car we rented.. a toyota 'terrago'

an apple pie godma made :) delicious!! gonna get the recipe from her :)

went down to Fremantle on the last day to do some shopping..this time we went down alone coz godma wanted to go for her line dacing at the center :) so we all took a train down.. was held up for an hour or so in the train coz the train in front broke down.. :(
but nevertheless, we reached our destination..
got lost on the way back.. coz we didn;t know which bus stop to alight.. and ended up at a bus terminal.. lol called up godma to pick us up.. and we found Abby in the car!! :) she went to pick up her dog from a friend's house :)

haha.. Abby was given to godma by Elsa :)
