The Chronicles of Shannon - PERTH TRIP - 4 Oct to 6 Oct

4th October, Wednesday

We had a lazy day in Perth today. Went Carousal Shopping Mall today, it was so huge... something like Suntec... geezzz! Mal bought his pair of jeans, much to his glee in knowing that he didn't HAVE to go for the biggest size here! Also got a few shirts for causal wear... we dropped by Myers and I got Shannon a pink and orange tee and swirly skirt combi, and a jeans and tee combi, good shopping!

Ended the day with shopping for food at Village green and back to Eileen place to cook my famous Carrot, Potato and pork rib stew, long beans and fried eggs, and stirfried cauliflower with bacon.



5th October, Thursday (By Shannon)
ooowwwww, Mommy's having bad tummyache today, better stay clear from her, her mood is super grouchy, which doesn't make MY mood any better! Been whinging and whining and crying the whole day too, sooo bored since we are stuck at Aunty Eileen's place, and I miss my toys, my friends and my slaves! Where is Gong gong, Mama and Grandma????!!!!

Aunty Eileen rushed home from work to bring Mommy to the doctor and she has been rushing to the toilet the whole day. I overheard Daddy asking Mommy what was it that caused her food poisioning, and she replied that it must have been the chinese food she had at Carousal... luckily, it wasn't her home cooked dinner which caused it!

Daddy and me lounging in bed, what shall we dooooo? Bored bored bored







7th October, Friday
Today, we were feeling brave enough to venture out again after my nasty bout of food poisioning.... was drinking soups and liquids yesterday, but today, feel so much better!

We decided to go to Kings Park and see the wildflowers. Oh, Colour galore! The grass was sooo green I kept suspecting they put colouring on it..... and the view...! Georgous!

Photos says it all....

Dangling near the edge, look at the view!

Flower flowers everywhere! Plus US two!

See the green green grass? So green it made my eyes swim!

Shannon deciding NOT to be one of the pretty flowers afterall... what do you mean the flowers are prettier than ME????




After the nice walk at the park, we headed to Habourtown for more shopping bargains... whew, it was a nightmare trying to get there after missing a turn, have to go around Hay street, and Wellington, and with all the one way streets and street works, I think we headed in circles for about 1/2 hour b4 we managed to get in... haha! I managed to get MY shopping done today. Spent 1 and 1/2 hours at Table Eight, and walked away with 3 blouses, 1 skirt, 2 pants.... Mal and Shannon? They just walked and walked, around the store while waiting for me to finish at the changing rooms...*evil grin*

We compensated Shannon for her waiting though by getting a adorable blouse and a pretty dress for her for Jennifer's wedding.

Ended the day with treating dinner to Angie, Paul, Quintin and Eileen at a chinese resturant. Yummy, Had fish, eggplant, beef, Tofu and veg... though the resturant looked dingy and isolated from the outside, we were glad we were early coz it became packed by 7pm!

Angie and family headed back to Eileen's with us to continue with our tradition, having dessert! This time it was a fruit flan with custard filling and coconut shavings..... yummmm... and Paul showed us video snippets of the trip down south.... we laughed all the way. How nice and heartwarming to end a evening like this, with friends, good food, and happy conversation.... somehow you just dun get this in Singapore? Good memories...
