Day 190 of my working holiday life

Time really flies... i have been staying in Perth for about 6 months! Unbelievable huh... ><

Recently, i kept thinking about 'To stay' or 'to move on'. I wanted very much to celebrate new year eve in Sydney! But my boss asked me to stay during that period and i can work longer hours. In another words, i can earn more. Dilemma... i want to earn more for my next trip, but at the same time i dont feel like missing the chance to watch the fireworks in Sydney! What am i supposed to do?!!!

I think i have stayed enough in Perth! It's time to move on as backpacker again! Right?!!!

不知不觉已经过了六个月了！岁月果真不留人！

最近一直在思考到底该留还是走！本来打算，在悉尼过2013.01.01... 可是餐厅却在那时候缺人用，他们说会让我做长时间，赚多一点。我既想赚对一点旅费，可是也不想错失悉尼的烟花！真不知该如何取舍！

可是在柏斯也一段时间了，我想是时候继续背包客的旅途了吧！

Ps: sunset in perth

Day 184 of my working holiday life

到底人生追求的是什么？每一个人生都不一样，因为所追求的东西因人而异！

那我又追求一个怎样的人生！这一刻，我竟然迷糊了。多姿多彩的人生，又或是平凡的人生？

这只有你自己知道！你呢？

Day 161 of my working holiday life

上个星期因为同事们的毕业典礼，所以工作了48个小时！超累的，尤其是从星期四起，每天大约工作9小时！店也每晚客满！脚就快断了！可是为了赚多一点去旅行，辛苦也要撑着吧！
今天，终于可以好好的休息了！爬爬部落格啦！还有，妈妈还有2个星期就到啦！好高兴！
p/s: 春天到了，家路边的花好漂亮！

Day 143 of my working holiday life

今天午餐店里超多人的！那也意味着我有好多碟及杯子要洗！这应该是我洗过最多碟杯子的一天了！

在这所洗碟的数量，应该是我过去30年所洗的无数倍吧！

Day 159 of my working holiday life

I finally cut my hair after 5 months here. My workmate was a hair styler in Malaysia! For your information, cutting hair in Australia is pretty expensive (around aud30) and She only charged me AUD 20.
Feel so fresh after cutting my hair ;)

very short huh!!!

Day 160 of my working holiday life

Today it's my best friend wedding! I feel so bad for not coming back to attend her wedding! I hope she will understand my difficulty! I miss them so much! We bought a sexy lingerie for her as her wedding present!
Hope she will like it!

想对你说一声，绍婷，祝你新婚愉快，百年好合！替你感到幸福！

forever friends, forever we"ll be!

Day 132 of my working holiday life

第二天吃了早餐check out后，我们便起程到Lesueur National Park去看野花！春天的西澳，是野花生长的季节(wild flower festival)。据说，这个国家公园是西澳第二大的国家公园。

每一辆车的入门费是AUD11。可是，我们还蛮失望的，因为野花的种类并不多！





待了大约一小时，我们便离开了。之后，去了Jurien Bay 的码头，因为风景还蛮不错，所以便留下来拍照！有一个路人告诉我们说，今早还有海豚呢！可惜我们错过了！



大约4点，我们便启程回珀斯。2天1夜的旅行就结束啦！

p/s: 在回家的路上，看见了一片辽阔的草原，好多一粒粒的绵羊，美丽的黄昏（粉红及粉蓝的）。这一些的美丽都不是我的相机能捕捉到的！只能用我的眼及心把它烙印在脑海里！;)

Day 139 of my working holiday life

It's the 2nd day of September, Winter has finally overed... ;) Happy Father's Day also to Australian Father.

I have followed a friend and her family to a Botanic Park called Araluen Botanic Park. IThe park is about 35 minutes of driving from city.  The entry fees per person  is AUD4.

There are a lot picnic spots here but all of it has been taken up. Australian are really enjoying their life. ;)



The park is ablaze with the colour of massed plantings of tulips and other spring blooms.









I love the spring blooms very much!





 We headed home after 3hours as her baby was tired and sleepy. ;)

Day 131 of my working holiday life

朋友说她要去尖峰石阵(The Pinnacles) 拍结婚照，我当然也跟着去啦，可充当摄影师助理嘛！;p

尖峰石阵位于南邦国家公园(Nambung National Park)内，距离伯斯有180km。车程约3.5小时。在还未到达目的地之前，我们路经一个小镇叫Lancelin。这里有一个地方可以滑沙，叫Lancelin Sand Dunes。我们本想租滑板，大概AUD20两小时。可是为了省钱，我们决定用纸皮来代替。结果真糗，怎么滑也滑不下！哈哈！所以呢，奉劝要去的朋友们，租吧，可以share share 用啊！


我的第一次滑沙，好糗哦！


路经码头，好多人在钓鱼

之后，就去我们居住的背包客栈Pinnacle Beach Backpackers (Cervantes)。我们是4人一房，每人是AUD30。这里的环境还满干净及舒服。



休息了大概一小时，我们就出发到尖峰石阵去。从客栈出发，大概需要半小时的车程！这个地方每年都吸引数万名的游客前来观看这些竖立在黄金沙漠中，奇形怪状的石柱。据说这些都是经贝壳堆积而成的沙丘。

拥抱黄昏的尖峰石阵！

逗留了两小时后，我们就回小镇医肚子啦！

Day 113 of my working holiday life

Horray, My mom is coming over this October! I want my two brothers to come also but they coudn't make it this time. This is part of my wishes also! Anywhere, i will plan for the family trip again once i am back to Malaysia!

She will be coming with my friend! Hence, it's time for me to plan my 1 week holiday! Can't wait to see both of them!

Day 119 of my working holiday life

What a lovely Monday! The reason is 'I am not working'! haha...

Housemates and I decided to have dim sum again as our brunch! This time we went to another dim sum restaurant in city called Dragon Palace (龙门酒楼)! Their dim sum is better esp the char siew pau! hehe...

After that, we went to a beach called North beach. Housemate told me that this is the beach where we can catch abalon in December. Thinking to go... provided I were still in Perth December ;)

 



I felt down when 'chasing' by the water wave and housemate's left shoe and sock got wet!

 





We went to Hillary Boat Harbour and Ikea after that! The minimum cost of having a 2nd hand small boat is around AUD75,000. Wow... orang kaya!



Me and All my BOATS!!! ;p

Day 118 of my working holiday life

今天相约了室友们去凯费山野生动物园一日游！可惜的是一整天都在下雨！那也无阻我们出游的心，因为我们有雨伞呀！哈哈！这间动物园可以让我们近距离的接触袋鼠及无尾熊！入门费是23澳币。

游客们还可以在这里喂袋鼠们！食物是免费的哦！

接下来可要介绍澳洲 一些代表性的动物咯，无尾熊(Koala)，袋熊(Wombat)及负子鼠(possum)。

然后，这里还有剃绵羊毛的表演！他们也邀请了几位小朋友上台示范喂小绵羊喝奶！

还有好多动物及鸟类！里头还有哈里波特的猫头鹰！

我也遇到了一个好爱笑及好动的小男孩！他一直想要出来走动！可是因为下雨的关系，妈妈也只给他出来不到一会！

大概3点左右，我们就离开那里，出发到酒庄去品酒！之后就晚餐，回家！

p/s: 我会在回来的！因为要带妈妈来！呵呵！

Day 108 of my working holiday life

惊心胆跳的一天！今天是朋友正式上班的一天！忙了数小时后，她拿杯子进厨房给我洗！结果却在此时，因地上有水，鞋子滑，摔了一跤！当我和老板扶她起来时，她的右手掌竟然被玻璃割伤了，流血不止！><"][/caption]



老板为她包扎后，我们赶紧关店，送她去医院！到了第一间医院，竟然没医生！拜托！医院没医生？那算什么医院！朋友在此时手已疼痛不已！幸好第二间医院有医生！医生为她打麻醉针后才拿里头的玻璃碎出来！再缝了几针！真是的！她出师不利呀！

之后，她还为自己的手拍照留念！哈哈！

p/s: 现在的我有一点forbia了！**

Day 105 of my working holiday life

又到了day off 的一天了！好开心！可是却哪儿也不想去，因为我‘又’生病了！老毛病-喉咙痛紧接咳嗽！看来应该是吃太多煮炒及curry chicken吧 (餐厅包一餐)！所以呢，我决定乖乖待在家煮烘蛋糕！

[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="400" caption="南瓜炖土豆"][/caption]

最后再来个下午茶！

Day 102 of my working holiday life

今早一进餐厅老板就告诉我餐厅被人偷窃了！我还以为他开我玩笑呢！那知道去柜台一看，乱七八糟的！老板新买的两台tosihba pad（点餐用的）不见啦！我们辛辛苦苦的150的小费也没了！·好过份！

[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="107"] 案发现场[/caption]

老板报警后，还要等警察来套取指纹！本来还以为澳洲警察的办案效率应该比马来西亚的快吧，结果3小时候，以为女警才姗姗来迟！不过，却也让我见识了CSI Australia!呵呵！

[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="256"] CSI Australia ^^[/caption]

老板之后从闭路电视看到偷窃者是一位骑着脚踏车的外国人！希望这里的警察可以尽快破案！

Day 101 of my working holiday life

这几天的天气超冷的！我的手及脚板在每一个起来的早晨都是冰冷的！有时甚至会麻痹！冬天啊冬天，你何时才会离我而去呢？！！

Day 91 of my working holiday life

中午去了city一间酒楼‘六富’吃点心！已经3个多月没吃点心了!就点了我好想吃的叉烧包和蛋塔！就觉得还是马来西亚的好吃！呵呵！这一餐吃了每人大概aud20！好贵哦！不过，久久‘一吃’也不未过！^-^

Housemates brought me to a chinese restaurant in city for Dimsum! I ordered charsiew pao and egg tart as I wanted to eat long time ago! At the end, I miss dimsum in Malaysia! We paid almost aud20 per person.*expensive* Anyway, sometimes we need to pamper ourselves for working so hard! ^-^

Day 87 of my working holiday

I received a gift from my colleague today! The thing made from a small packet of 'rice'. It can keep my hand warm by putting the packet into a microwave for about 2 minutes. The heat can last for 5 mins. I need it very much especially this winter!

同事送了我一个她亲手做的小暖包！只需把它放进微波炉里两分钟，它就能热大概五分钟！超好用的，尤其是在这个冬天！好温暖哦！

p/s: Sinus getting worse during winter! 好像要生病了！

Day 76 of my working holiday life

1st of July...I woke up this morning and realized that it's going into the 2nd half of 2012. Time flies! >

I kept wondering what have I achieved in the first half of 2012! I couldn't think of one... It's kind of sad when come to this! But on 2nd thought, I have made a change to my life! Walked out from my comfort zone and stepped into a new environment
And i am kinda adapt to the life in Oz. Thus It can be considered as one of the achievement too! haha...

Hopefully I can achieve as many targets as possible in the 2nd half of 2012. Same goes to you! *Cheers*

Day 67 of my working holiday life

My workplace is closed on every fortnight. Hence we decided to organise a BBQ at Kings Park.  We used the tips that given by customers. Wow... We have collected around AUD140 since opening of the restaurant (about 5 weeks only). This show how good is our service! *wink* *wink*

We headed to the destination at around 3pm after buying the food at Coles in Carousel Westfield. Fortunately, the weather was pretty good (cloudy & cool)!

We went to Karaoke after the BBQ session. It has been planned for weeks ago! I think this karaoke session will be the most expensive that I have been so far. 15 AUD per person (2 hours) shhhh....
