My 2 week long break!

True to what my horoscope readings said, my social life has been too happening over the past 2 weeks.
I went to Australia for 9 days, then flew to Paris for a week on the same day that i came back from Australia. Came back on 8 Nov, attended two weddings over the weekend, and now back to work - slapped back to the harsh reality of life.. = (

On Oct 24, K and I flew to Western Australia with our good friends, EK, S and F. We rented a car and went on a road trip for 8 days from Perth and down South to Albany and Margaret River. There were many incidents and adventures, and i had the best time of my life. It was the first time i went on a trip with my buddies, and i can't wait for the next one already!

Here are some of the highlights of our Western Australia trip:

  • EK had diarrohea on the 2nd day till the 4th day, then K fell sick and had a vomit tirade on the 3rd day. Both were our assigned drivers for the trip
  • We broke the bathroom lamp in our Perth accomodation
  • We killed a bird during our road trip travelling at 140km/hr
  • F fell down at the carpark outside the Conuhu Wildlife park where S saw and took pictures with the Koala bears for the first time (i saw a Koala bear pee right in front of me for the first time - it had such an ugly butt!)
  • We went sandboarding on the Sand Dunes at the Pinnacles - on our butts. With no proper sand boards. It's an experience i will never ever forget - all 5 of us sliding down this huge sand slope together on the count of 3!
  • We witnessed a super happening gay party in the heart of Perth at Northbridge
  • We attended a surfing competition at Margaret River and saw, during the entire trip, some of the most amazing waves and crystal clear sea i've ever seen in my entire life.. I've seen it before, but it still amazes me how powerful and beautiful the ocean is .. = )
  • We spotted some huge whales, or rather their tails in Augusta
  • We made, and lost, some money at the Burswood casino. And i was not asked for my ID when i entered! A rare case i must say.. = )

K and I arrived one day later than the rest. On the last night, we went to Northbridge and was caught in the middle of a huge festival. The roads were bloked off, and there were temporary stages set up for mini performances. I especially like this little corner where people had set up a silent disco. People were basically given wireless headphones with pre-recorded music, and they could all dance in the middle in silence - It was funny to see all these people dancing in silence, but i thought the idea was totally cool!



My parents in law picked us up from the airport on 2 Nov morning, and we went for tim sum breakfast at the airport. Upon reaching home, we heard a tiny kitten mewing and found it in the bushes below our block. I think it must have been less than 10 days old cause it's eyes were not even open yet. K and I decided to take it home, and thought we had saved its life. We decided to name the kitten Bob. K research on the Internet on how to take care of a baby kitten, then went to buy this special formula milk powder and fed it, and bathe it.

The kitten slept for a while..but then kept mewing at night just before i left for Paris.. we didn't know what was wrong with it, tried to feed it but it didn't drink too much milk, so we just left it there thinking it will probably just fall asleep.

When i arrived in Paris the next day, i received a text message from K. Bob had died.. Until now, K still hasn't gotten over it. He keeps thinking he had caused Bob's death by not using a heating lamp to provide warmth for the kitten. K says Bob most probably froze to death. Sigh.. i don't know how to help K get over it. Hopefully time will heal everything..

I would like to dedicate this blog in loving memory of little baby Bob..
