Hi, I am back :)


Few weeks ago, went to this place called Leederville with the neighbours.

Leederville, a few kilometers of Perth CBD. According to people around us, it is a place full of nice cafes.

Went to this cafe name Greens & Co. It was recommended by the neighbour's friend.


A very unique cafe decorated with many many round lanterns hanging around. Posters all over as their 'wallpaper'. Now I began to realize that round lanterns and posters actually form very nice background.


One thing weird about this cafe was they don't have a menu. You have to go to the counter personally to ask for price and so on......

I don't like coffee..I don't eat cakes. It is simply because I don't eat any kind of pastry. No matter how delicious they are, I will always say NO to bread, cakes, muffins, cookies, pie or whatever that made up using flour as an ingredient.

Everyone sort of ordered a piece of cake and a cup of coffee. According to them, the cakes and coffees were good. Please don't ask me how good is it, I have no idea at all. For me coffee and cake sucks :((((((((

Tiramisu :)

From her face, we can tell that the Tiramisu was not bad :)

The Neighbours: Jules, Percy and Fangyu

People should spend more time talking to each other. What I mean is face to face conversation.
Sitting in front of a computer reading what each other typing is rather meaningless.

The feeling is not the same compared to a real face to face conversation. At least you get to see from the face how happy or sad the person is ~

Loves this photo very much....

This is definitely one of the best movie I've seen for a long time.

Mao's Last Dancer is based on a true story of a Chinese Ballet Dancer Li Cunxin who grew up in rural poverty during Mao's communist rule. He was given the opportunity to dance in the West in the early 80s.

Later on, he defected (as he was unwilling to return to China to remain with his lover, thus he was stripped of his nationality by the Chinese government) and went on to perform as a principal dancer for the Houston Ballet.

At the peak of the film, Li was forced to choose between his career, family, culture, country and love. He refused to go back to China and this was where the conflicts began.

The film captured the essence of the story by provoking emotions and relating the struggle faced by Li in a moving kind of way. The viewers could generally sympathize with the hardship faced by Li's family during the era of communism under Mao Zedong and virtually followed through the protagonist' journey into a foreign, capitalist country and to eventually fall in love with a foreign girl.

September was indeed a hectic month for us. After sending off Vian's friends back to KL, both our moms arrived for a 4D 3N trip the following week. Thanks to Air Asia - now everyone can fly indeed!

In hindsight, it was a blessing for us given the fact that life in Perth is pretty 'lifeless' and boring. Thus, any visitors be it friends or families are guaranteed welcomed with open arms! :)




As tourist attractions in Perth are few and far between, you're bound to view some repetitive photos of some places that we've covered with her friends in the previous entry.

Among the places that we visited are Kings Park and its botanical garden.














Vian and her second bf :P




The next day, we woke up early as we've decided the day before to make a day trip to Swan Valley. In case you've forgotten, it's the place that's renowned for producing wine, nougats and chocolates.

Wine tasting at Houghton's winery.





Free wine tasting are available at every winery in Swan Valley.

In order to get free tasting, you'll have to produce your personal I.D. for them to ensure that you're 18 and above. We were given a select few types of grape wine to taste, but found most of them do not suit our palates except for the fruity-like white wine.








My mom's favourite - nougats factory (Mondo's Nougats).



We bought nougats in bulk - since they're the best thing to come out from Perth since koalas. :P



It was a different kind of fun travelling with our moms who're more laidback and enjoy the sceneries at Perth; contrast to travelling with bunch of friends who're more fun-loving and adventurous.




This month, we won't be having so much fun anymore. It's time to get back on work and studies and to endure the following two months before we have our summer break and embarking on our Christmas and New Year escapades!
