Excited mode, triggered!
Thursday 1545
As of today, roughly 3 months before our long awaited vacation to the Land of Down Under.
Specifically, Perth!
Since I bought the ticket last year, I wasn’t really feeling the excitement cos the dates of traveling was somewhat uncertain.
And at the same time, we are trying to conceive so there’s this worry that in the case where I got pregnant, we might have to re-schedule or even cancel the trip.
We are still TTC.
And I did have to re-schedule the dates to 3 weeks early.
But.
The travel is CERTAIN.
I can officially say, I am EXCITED!!!
It’s gonna be a 10 days vacay with the hubby.
Visiting his former Uni is I think a must thing to do while we are there.

In fact, the whole reason I bought this ticket last year was because of him.
He’s been telling me that he longs to visit Perth again.
And since we’ve been putting Australia as our priority travel destination, I thought, it would be good to start with Perth first.
Too bad we aren’t going to celebrate his birthday there as what I initially planned.
I definitely want to visit the animals sanctuary.
We don’t have kangaroos, wallabies and koalas here you know.

So better go and than feel sorry later on.
Wine tour is another thing to do.
Not that I fancy much on this one but I’m sure it’s gonna be whole new experience to me.

Next, perhaps have a picnic at King’s Park provided that hubby’s friend is available.

What else can we do?
Suggestions?
Until next post!
*hugs*

I’ve never been to Perth so I don’t know what to do there.. But I’d love to hear about it, thinking to take the whole family there one day when my dad is better.
It took me a while to recognize Alvin on that first photo.. pasal the shade and rambut bah.. hehehe.. I almost went to Edith Cowan too last time to do my Tourism degree tapi ndak jadi..
Hehehe…I searched for the picture without his knowledge that Im gonna put it up. Sekali I showed him, his first reaction, ‘why this one? i got rambut!’…hahaha. If you were in ECU, probably ko sudah kenal alvin awal2 tu…

yerrr so jealous… I wanna go to the land down under too… I always imagine that Doraemon is real and that he can shrink me to smaller size and I’ll be able to fit into the kangaroo pouch and take me to travel all around the island XD
Hahaha..how I wish I have one Doraemon to keep too.
You are big dreamer. I’m sure if you have wrote down Australia in your travel list, you will get there one day

Wuah it’s been awhile since I went to Perth too. My sis last time stay around Kings Park area
pigi shopping! XD sot. Red rock deli chips ;_;
Oh but then again, the last time I went there, I visited quite a lot of relatives from misc places. The only place which is not family related has got to be the Perth Mint.
Yang lain aku inda ingat sudah XD
Hahaha..so you don’t have much memories of the places you visited?
I will hop on to Dena’s blog to check her Perth travel la…she went to few places. That might be a help.

NICE!!!
Do drop by Lotterywest Federation Walkway & Mt Eliza lookout @ King’s Park, eat the famous Corica’s Apple Strudels(must must), try the Australian version of Burger King - Hungry Jack’s, visit London Court, Harbour Town(shopping), Roc Candy or watch a movie under the sky? @ Movies by Burswood. Fremantle Market is a must go place too… you can get all kinds of magnets from one of the store there. I think the store name is “Crocodile magnets”(if my memory serves me right and IF it’s still there).
Shirley, thank you for the suggestions!! Im sure gonna put this in my list. Thanks again!

Tidak apa bah tu kalau pregnant pigi travel. Dulu saya ada balik KK, waktu tu saya pregnant 2 weeks heheh. Ok juga tengok juga lah kan, sebab ada orang ni kandungan dia lemah jadi ada takut sikit. Tapi tu lah berhati hati saja lah.
Best oh pigi Perth, saya ni belum pernah pigi lagi sana hehehe. Tengok lah, mana tahu satu hari nanti dapat juga pigi kan?.
Ya, sa pun fikir macam tu bah juga. Tapi, if sa pregnant, memang ada worry sikit lah cos i have history of miscarriage kan jadi sure my mom will tell me not to go. But itu kalau sa pregnant la…hehehe
Your sis Cath sdh pernah pergi kan? Im gonna head over her blog to re-read dia punya cerita masa pigi Perth.
