			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I can&#8217;t agree enough on how beautiful the paintings are in Bali. I&#8217;m not sure if those paintings are drawn and painted by them or it&#8217;s printed and they just need to fill in the colours. Whatever it is, they are just simply talented! </p>
<p>I saw lotsa incredibly beautiful one sold at Sukawati and Tanah Lot, it&#8217;s just really amazing! I can never imagine myself painted it this nice! You know what&#8217;s the best thing of it? They always start of the price which we will never agree on buying and we can bargain till like 30-50% discounts! I was just wondering, how does one standout from the rest when all of them are that good and at the same place? Nevermind, as a buyer/tourist, we benefit from it though.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ll see lotsa painting of Pura Tanah Lot at Tanah Lot itself.</p>
<p><img title="tanah lot painting 1" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/DSCF6643.jpg" alt="tanah lot painting 1" width="467" height="350" /></p>
<p><img title="tanah lot painting 2" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/DSCF6636.jpg" alt="tanah lot painting 2" width="467" height="350" /></p>
<p>And other other paintings.</p>
<p><img title="beautiful-paintings1" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/beautiful-paintings1.jpg" alt="beautiful-paintings1" width="450" height="300" /></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2254" title="beautiful-paintings2" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/beautiful-paintings2.jpg" alt="beautiful-paintings2" width="450" height="300" /></p>
<p><img title="more paintings" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/CIMG6938.jpg" alt="more paintings" width="351" height="467" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p>I specifically like these paintings due to the touch and feel of the texture of the paints. But I didn&#8217;t buy any of these.</p>
<p><img title="nice painting 1" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/DSCF6644.jpg" alt="nice painting 1" width="467" height="350" /></p>

<p><img title="nice painting 3.3" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/CIMG6937.jpg" alt="nice painting 3.3" width="467" height="350" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p>I bought 2 paintings of another place which I&#8217;ve forgotten the name at about RM15 only.</p>
<p>Time flies and 3D2N at Bali was over. On the 3rd day morning, we managed to enjoy the wave of sea for a few hours at Kuta beach itself before packing up and Board the plane back to our home country. The few hours at Kuta beach is one of the most fun time in Bali. The waves are really strong that you could fall and roll at the beach. No kidding! I got quite a few <span style="color: #0000ff;">blue</span>-blacks from that!</p>
<p><img title="blue-black" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/DSCF6867.JPG" alt="blue-black" width="467" height="350" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>My sandals string snapped when I was the airport</strong>, and I was forced to buy a pair of sandals at a very last minute. Thank god I found one which I find it ok looking and at a reasonable price. The price was actually about RM35 but I was out of cash. But believe it or not, I managed to bargain for the sandals for only RM30. Guess what? I&#8217;m loving the sandals now! It&#8217;s very comfortable.</p>
<p><img title="shop at airport" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/DSCF6699.jpg" alt="shop at airport" width="467" height="350" /></p>
<p><img title="my new sandals" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/CIMG7201.jpg" alt="my new sandals" width="467" height="350" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p>We were very hungry and took a meal at the airport and almost didn&#8217;t manage to board the plane. We thought that the entrance to board our plane was nearby but it was like miles away(okay, I&#8217;m totally exaggerating this), we ended up <strong>running with our stomache full in the airport itself</strong>. It&#8217;s kinda funny when thought of it now.</p>
<p>Took a few photos of the cloud. Kinda like it.</p>
<p>This photos looks like it&#8217;s end of the world. Like something is happening soon.</p>
<p><img title="end of world" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/DSCF6734.jpg" alt="end of world" width="351" height="467" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p>This looks like there&#8217;s hope.</p>
<p><img title="hope" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/DSCF6720.jpg" alt="hope" width="351" height="467" /></p>
<p><img title="hope 2" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/DSCF6721.jpg" alt="hope 2" width="467" height="350" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p>I was supposed to attend my friends wedding that night and I had to put on my makeup in the flight.</p>
<p><img title="make-up" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/DSCF6745.jpg" alt="make-up" width="351" height="467" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p>But due to unforeseen circumstances, I only reached home at about 9.20pm. I think the dinner also gonna end soon, so, didn&#8217;t attend the dinner in the end after putting on my make-ups. =.=&#8221;" So, I ended up cam-whore in my room. ^.^</p>
<p><img title="home" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/DSCF6758.jpg" alt="home" width="467" height="350" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Wow..you know what? I&#8217;ve finally finish with my Bali trip! Should I continue back with my Perth trip?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Bali is quite famous for its temple as they have many different big and small temples around. On the Day 2 of touring in Bali, we went to one of the most famous tourist attraction and important royal temple in Bali &#8211; Pura Taman Ayun (&#8220;Garden Temple in the Water&#8221;) which also means Temple of the Beautiful Garden. The temple is located at Mengwi, Bali. Here, you can really see the Balinese culture and building structure.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>&#8220;<em><font color="999999">The establishment of Pura Taman Ayun is related to the development of Mengwi kingdom in 17th century. A manuscript describing the birth of Mengwi kingdom called &#8221; Babad Mengwi &#8221; gives a description that the founder of the kingdom I Gusti Ngurah Putu after succeeded in extending his emporium he built Ulun Danu temple on the bank of lake Beratan, than moved his palace from Balahayu to Mengwi and built Taman Ayun temple. The date of construction is expressed on a carved door with chronogram reads &#8221; Sad Bhuta Yaksa Dewa &#8221; means 1634 AD.</font></em>&#8221; &#8211; Info taken from <a target="_blank" href="http://www.balitouring.com/bali_articles/taman_ayun.htm" target="_blank">BaliTouring</a>.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The temple is surrounded by moat and I spotted some people fishing there.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1822" title="moat" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/cimg6897.jpg" alt="moat" width="467" height="350" /></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1832" title="fishing by the moat" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/dscf6543.jpg" alt="fishing by the moat" width="467" height="350" /></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1831" title="before entering" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/dscf6541.jpg" alt="before entering" width="467" height="350" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p>ATTENTION ladies, please take note that if you are having the time of month, please respect and do not enter the temple. There is a board stating that clearly.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1824" title="attention ladies" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/cimg6903.jpg" alt="attention ladies" width="467" height="350" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Another note, it is advised to dress appropriately before entering. But er&#8230;&#8230; I guess I kinda break that &#8220;rule&#8221;.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1830" title="dress appropriately" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/cimg6921.jpg" alt="dress appropriately" width="350" height="467" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p>The entrance fees to Pura Taman Ayun is Rp3000 (RM1.07). Very cheap <em>hor</em>?</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1833" title="entrance" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/dscf6546.jpg" alt="entrance" width="467" height="350" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p>There is this very big hall which you will see. One of the staff explaining to tourist on the use of this great hall for occasions.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1834" title="great hall" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/dscf6548.jpg" alt="great hall" width="467" height="350" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Upon entering, you will see a huge garden with a fountain by the side.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1835" title="fountain at garden" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/dscf6549.jpg" alt="fountain at garden" width="467" height="350" /></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1836" title="walking in" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/dscf6551.jpg" alt="walking in" width="467" height="350" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span id="more-1821"></span></p>
<p>There is a Bell Tower (<em>Kulkul</em>) by the side where tourists can walk up to have a better view. This is also where the ceremonial drum used for summoning worshippers or to raise an alarm during crises is kept.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1837" title="Kulkul" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/dscf6553.jpg" alt="Kulkul" width="351" height="467" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p>One of the shrine at Pura Taman Ayun.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1838" title="shrine front" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/dscf6554.jpg" alt="shrine front" width="351" height="467" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Walk in further and you see the Candi Bentar which means split gate of Pura Taman Ayun.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1839" title="Candi Bentar" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/dscf6555.jpg" alt="Candi Bentar" width="351" height="467" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Further down is the inner courtyard, covered by a gate which is Candi Korung (Covered gate). Accoridng to the staff there, the gate only opens every 50 years and there will be a big ceremony held.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1840" title="candi korong" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/dscf6560.jpg" alt="candi korong" width="467" height="350" /></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1841" title="me at candi korong" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/dscf6567.jpg" alt="me at candi korong" width="351" height="467" /></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1842" title="posing at candi korong" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/dscf6573.jpg" alt="posing at candi korong" width="351" height="467" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p>But fret not, you will get to see what&#8217;s behind the gates though you can&#8217;t enter from the main gate. There is this path way by the side and you still get to see the building structure and shines there.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1843" title="pathway by inner court" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/dscf6574.jpg" alt="pathway by inner court" width="467" height="350" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p>There is also a small gate at the side of the path way, but it&#8217;s lock too. I guess no one really can enter there. =\ Though they say no one can enter, I spotted a cat lying lazily under the shed there. Hmm..there&#8217;s an exception for animals?</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1845" title="gate at pathway" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/dscf6579.jpg" alt="gate at pathway" width="351" height="467" /></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1844" title="cat at inner court" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/dscf6578.jpg" alt="cat at inner court" width="467" height="350" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p>The total number of shrines and pavilions in Pura Taman Ayun are 50 units. This shrines are not all dedicated to god or holy spirits but some are as ritual facilities, public hall, and decorations. In the inner courtyard comprises of 27 buildings of varying size and function.</p>
<p>Rows of bale or pavillion for court musicians, dancers and priests in the inner sanctuary at Pura Taman Ayun.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1846" title="more pavillions" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/dscf6581.jpg" alt="more pavillions" width="467" height="350" /></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1851" title="pavillion" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/dscf6588.jpg" alt="pavillion" width="467" height="350" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Rows of merus with ijuk black thatched roofing provides resting place for visiting spirits at Pura Taman Ayun.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1861" title="rows of merus" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/dscf6609.jpg" alt="rows of merus" width="467" height="350" /></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1862" title="merus" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/dscf6610.jpg" alt="merus" width="467" height="350" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Among them are the gods who dwell on Gunung Agung and Gunung Batur. An eleven-tiered meru (at the far end, in the right-hand corner) is dedicated to the rice goddess Dewi Sri.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1848" title="11 tiered meru" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/dscf6585.jpg" alt="11 tiered meru" width="351" height="467" /></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1825" title="meru" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/cimg6908.jpg" alt="meru" width="351" height="467" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p>There are many different tier of merus.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1847" title="5 tier meru" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/dscf6584.jpg" alt="5 tier meru" width="351" height="467" /></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1857" title="group photo with merus" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/dscf6602.jpg" alt="group photo with merus" width="350" height="452" /></p>

<p> </p>
<p>There are also many different design and sizes of shrines.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1827" title="shrines" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/cimg6914.jpg" alt="shrines" width="467" height="350" /></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1850" title="shrine" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/dscf6587.jpg" alt="shrine" width="351" height="467" /></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1864" title="shrine 2" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/dscf6615.jpg" alt="shrine 2" width="351" height="467" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p>I find this shrine quite unique looking as if it has an anthenna built with it.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1860" title="unique shrine" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/dscf6608.jpg" alt="unique shrine" width="351" height="467" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p>The designs of the shrines, merus, pavillions together with the craft design on it.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1854" title="building structure" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/dscf6599.jpg" alt="building structure" width="467" height="350" /></p>

<p> </p>
<p>If not mistaken, this is where they have some prayers too.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1865" title="prayers" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/dscf6616.jpg" alt="prayers" width="467" height="350" /></p>
<p> <img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1829" title="the roof" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/cimg6919.jpg" alt="the roof" width="467" height="350" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p>I&#8217;m not sure why out of nowhere, there is this very skinny tall tree planted in the inner courtyard. Anyone knows?</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1863" title="tall tree" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/dscf6613.jpg" alt="tall tree" width="351" height="467" /></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1828" title="tall tree" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/cimg6916.jpg" alt="tall tree" width="351" height="467" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p>According to the staff, if you feel disturbed, you can peel of a layer of the skin of this tree trunk and eat it. However, you must give an orffering before doing so. Otherwise&#8230; go think of the consequences yourself. Nothing comes free in life, you get it?</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1859" title="holy tree" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/dscf6607.jpg" alt="holy tree" width="351" height="467" /></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1858" title="holy tree trunk" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/dscf6604.jpg" alt="holy tree trunk" width="351" height="467" /></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After jalan-jalan at Sukawati, we headed to Ubud to try the very famous <a target="_blank" title="Babi Guling" href="http://translate.google.com.my/translate?hl=en&amp;sl=id&amp;u=http://id.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babi_guling&amp;ei=kpOSSq3EJM2IkQXS7_C7Cg&amp;sa=X&amp;oi=translate&amp;resnum=2&amp;ct=result&amp;prev=/search%3Fq%3Dbabi%2Bguling%26hl%3Den" target="_blank">Babi Guling</a> (Pork Roll), also known as roasted sukling pig. Bali is famous for it&#8217;s Babi Guling where the roast pork are stuffed with the home-made spices.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1758" title="walking to warung" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/dscf6501.jpg" alt="walking to warung" width="467" height="350" /></p>

<p> </p>
<p>On the way there, there are some ongoing <em>proyek</em>, and we were forced to walk by the small roads to Warung Bali Guling Ibu Kota.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1759" title="ada proyek" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/dscf6502.jpg" alt="ada proyek" width="467" height="350" /></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1760" title="the proyek" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/dscf6504.jpg" alt="the proyek" width="467" height="350" /></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1772" title="Warung Babi Guling Ibu Oka" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/dscf6524.jpg" alt="Warung Babi Guling Ibu Oka" width="467" height="350" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p>You&#8217;ll be very much surprised at the crowd there, it&#8217;s packed! As I can see, most of them are tourists, we were pretty lucky as we got a table after waiting just for awhile.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1762" title="packed with tourists" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/dscf6506.jpg" alt="packed with tourists" width="467" height="350" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p>We were really in luck, once we sat on the table, there was a fresh Babi Guling which was just roasted and sent to the warung. Okay, dun stare at the whole Babi Guling for too long, you will feel disgusted, really. The expression of the pig is like it was grusomely murdered.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1764" title="Babi Guling" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/dscf6509.jpg" alt="Babi Guling" width="467" height="350" /></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1763" title="Babi Guling expression" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/dscf6508.jpg" alt="Babi Guling expression" width="467" height="350" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p>The workers, I&#8217;m not sure if she&#8217;s Ibu Oka, uses a big knife and beheaded the pig expressionless and emotionless, these are really by years of experience I believe. I dun think I could even chop off a chicken&#8217;s neck. Then, she uses the knife to pick up the head of the pig and poses for the camera.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1765" title="posing with Babi Guling" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/dscf6511.jpg" alt="posing with Babi Guling" width="350" height="467" /></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1766" title="Babi Guling head" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/dscf6512.jpg" alt="Babi Guling head" width="351" height="467" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p>The pig have been roasted till crispy golden brown colour. My god, look at that tail, the more I look at it the more I feel disgusted with it.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1769" title="pitiful Babi Guling" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/dscf6515.jpg" alt="pitiful Babi Guling" width="467" height="350" /></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1768" title="crispy looking Babi Guling" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/dscf6514.jpg" alt="crispy looking Babi Guling" width="467" height="350" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p>After the head been chopped off, you can see the spices inside of the stomach area.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1767" title="spices stuffed in Babi Guling" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/dscf6513.jpg" alt="spices stuffed in Babi Guling" width="467" height="350" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p>The pork will then be chopped and to be served to customers.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1770" title="chopping the babi guling" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/dscf6518.jpg" alt="chopping the babi guling" width="467" height="350" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p>We were waiting patiently for our plate of Babi Guling. Can&#8217;t wait to taste how nice it is.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1778" title="waiting-for-babi-guling" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/waiting-for-babi-guling.jpg" alt="waiting-for-babi-guling" width="467" height="350" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p>The prices of a plate of Babi Guling are roughly about Rp25,000 ~ Rp30,000(RM8.90~RM10.54) depending on what you order. The once I ordered is served with a piece of the roasted pork skin, some very tender pork meat, fried pork fats, and some vegetables with the spices of Babi Guling on top of it.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1777" title="babi-guling plate" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/babi-guling.jpg" alt="babi-guling plate" width="467" height="312" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p>The portion here looks small cause I shared a plate with Mei Yin and I just took half the portion of it. I couldn&#8217;t finish a plate not only because I have taken some food at Sukawati earlier, but also because of staring at the whole pork earlier for too long. I tried not to think too much, chucked everything into my mouth, chewed it fast and swallowed it.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1771" title="babi guling small portion" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/dscf6521.jpg" alt="babi guling small portion" width="467" height="350" /></p>
<p>In my opinion, the Babi Guling is totally overrated. From what everyone have said how famous and nice it is, I think it&#8217;s just so-so only, the skin was not even cripy, it&#8217;s quite chewy(Not sure was it just that pork, my piece of pork skin or was it actually meant to be like that). On our first bite, we have already thought of the <em>Char Siew Siu Yoke Fan</em> at Hock Lee, Damansara Heights. But anyway, since it&#8217;s so famous, just go and try it, at least make it like once in a lifetime experience.</p>
<p> There are quite a few dogs around the warung. I guess it&#8217;s because it has good business there (as in many tourists feed them)</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1752" title="white dog" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/cimg6860.jpg" alt="white dog" width="351" height="467" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p>This is one pitiful looking grey dog layign around just outside of the warung.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1761" title="pitiful looking grey dog" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/dscf6505.jpg" alt="pitiful looking grey dog" width="467" height="350" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p>There is also tiger-wannabe dog.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1754" title="tiger-wannabe" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/cimg6877.jpg" alt="tiger-wannabe" width="351" height="467" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Both tiger-wannabe dogs were fighting for territory.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1773" title="tiger-wannabe dogs" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/dscf6526.jpg" alt="tiger-wannabe dogs" width="467" height="350" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p>I also bought a bottle of Passion fruit flavoured drinks by Mizone from the store beside Warung Babi Guling Ibu Oka, you should try this. It&#8217;s quite nice and refreshing.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1774" title="mizone" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/dscf6530.jpg" alt="mizone" width="467" height="350" /></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1775" title="dscf6537" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/dscf6537.jpg" alt="dscf6537" width="351" height="467" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Our initial plan was also to try Bebek Bengil at Dirty Duck Diner, unfortunately we were so stuffed that we decided to put a stop. I kinda regret of not trying Bebek Bengil, I heard it&#8217;s really nice, much nicer than Babi Guling and it&#8217;s really crispy.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1755" title="bebek bengil-dirty duck diner" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/cimg6879.jpg" alt="bebek bengil-dirty duck diner" width="467" height="350" /></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1756" title="cimg6880" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/cimg6880.jpg" alt="cimg6880" width="467" height="350" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p>On the way back to our car, I spotted this creative looking van. It&#8217;s a van with bus entrance styled entrance, I repeat, it&#8217;s a van. It&#8217;s quite a common design over at Ubud as I saw quite a few van vehicle with the same entrance.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1776" title="bus entrance design" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/dscf6540.jpg" alt="bus entrance design" width="467" height="350" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Did they design this by accident? As in accidental design discovery?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>No, I&#8217;m not done with my Bali post yet, I&#8217;m just lazy to sort the photos out. ^.^</p>
<p>Here I am now, continuing my Bali post.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1737" title="Outside of hotel" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/dscf6471.jpg" alt="Outside of hotel" width="351" height="467" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p>On the second day at Bali (24th July 2009), it&#8217;s time for <em>jalan-jalan</em> at Bali after taking our complimentary breakfast from the hotel. I&#8217;ll skip exactly where we&#8217;ve gone after that, not so important afterall, I&#8217;ll get to that after all the important points.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1730" title="Sukawati" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/cimg6838.jpg" alt="Sukawati" width="467" height="350" />So, we went to Sukawati where it is famous for incredibly cheap stuff. I think I can spend my entire day there, not only because there are like zillion things to see, but oh-my-gosh, the people kinda &#8220;haunt&#8221; you there.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1738" title="At Sukawati" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/dscf6474.jpg" alt="At Sukawati" width="467" height="350" />Once you step your foot at the urh..I consider it a marketplace, you will see a group of people storming to you like groups of fans seeing their favourite artist. <strong>Remember</strong>, you are not an artist there, but more like a <em>choi-san-yeh</em>(money god). All of them carrying their stuff on their hand and on top of their head persuading you to buy stuff from them, I find it quite a haunting experience. They will follow you wherever you go although you have tell them you are not interested.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1739" title="white hat" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/dscf6476.jpg" alt="white hat" width="467" height="350" />Okay, one of the lady managed to persuade me to buy a white knitted hat. Not exactly that she persuaded me, but I find the hat quite nice and incredibly cheap! If I recall correctly, the open price she gave me was like Rp40,000 (RM14), Mr. BF managed bargain to only Rp20,000 (RM7). Wow, that&#8217;s like half the price! I bet if I get the hat in Malaysia, it gonna cost me about RM20.00 at least. By the way, behind me is a stall which sells their local fruit called Salak.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1740" title="another hat?" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/dscf6478.jpg" alt="another hat?" width="467" height="350" />After buying this hat, another lady approached me and Carryse for a hat. I was like <em>hey! I have already bought a hat</em>. Guess what she told me? She told me to get another hat. My gosh, why would I need two same hat?</p>
<p> </p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1741" title="carryse and me with hat" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/dscf6479.jpg" alt="carryse and me with hat" width="467" height="350" />Carryse is even better at bargaining, she got the same hat at only Rp14000 (RM5). I really have no idea how do they earn money there.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1742" title="paintings" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/dscf6481.jpg" alt="paintings" width="467" height="350" />You can see lotsa nice and great paintings there, I mean those people are like so talented! Too bad they are all cramp up there. I&#8217;m not exactly a person who is into painting but after seeing theirs, I just gotto get myself one.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1743" title="craft" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/dscf6483.jpg" alt="craft" width="351" height="467" />Besides paintings, you can see them crafting some designs out.</p>
<p>We then took a light lunch over there too. My friends are like so crazy over the Bakso(beef ball) there, most of them ate two bowls. It cost only Rp5000 (RM1.80)/bowl. But I find it quite small bowl.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1744" title="Bakso" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/dscf6484.jpg" alt="Bakso" width="467" height="350" /></p>
<p>See the difference of size of the beef balls? The HUGE one a little different, there is a whole hard-boiled egg inside of it. I don&#8217;t eat beef, so don&#8217;t ask me how nice it is. I only tested the noodle and a little of the soup, but I could tell, it&#8217;s tasty!</p>
<p> </p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1731" title="smoking dog" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/cimg6843.jpg" alt="smoking dog" width="467" height="350" />Dun play-play, this dog is smoking. See the cigarette at it&#8217;s mouth?</p>
<p> </p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1733" title="Blackie" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/cimg6847.jpg" alt="Blackie" width="467" height="350" />Nah, of coz he is not smoking, it&#8217;s just some camera angle. But his is one lucky dog at Sukawati. Hm..I should say dogs around me while I&#8217;m eating are all lucky dogs coz I can never resist the pitiful puppy-eyed looks of them. Mr. BF ordered two bowls of Mie Bakso too, but 3/4 of the Bakso is fed to him, I only wanted to eat the noodles and Mr.Bf only wanted to try a little bit of Bakso. Byt the way, I call him Blackie ( I just thought of a name for him, Urh&#8230; I think it&#8217;s a him <em>lah</em> okay?)</p>
<p> </p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1734" title="Ketoprak" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/cimg6850.jpg" alt="Ketoprak" width="467" height="350" />I also tried their Indonesian Rojak which they call it Ketoprak. It is quite similiar to Malaysia Rojak, it has veges and tofu, but they added nasi impit and the keropok used is different. It cost Rp5000 (RM1.80). But nothing to shout about, I&#8217;d still prefer the Rojak at the roadside of Taman Tun.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1745" title="Pie Susu" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/dscf6489.jpg" alt="Pie Susu" width="467" height="350" /></p>
<p>Oh yeah, not to forget, you can Pie Susu at one of the shops at Sukawati at only Rp1000 (RM0.35). It&#8217;s similiar to egg tarts, but it&#8217;s condensed milk instead of eggs, and it is really thin.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1747" title="thin Pie susu" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/dscf6495.jpg" alt="thin Pie susu" width="467" height="350" /></p>
<p>I&#8217;m a fan of condensed milk, so I kinda like it, but I would think it will be much nicer if it is thicker. It&#8217;s worth trying, really. Where can you get a tart at only RM0.35?!</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1746" title="me enjoying Pie Susu" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/dscf6494.jpg" alt="me enjoying Pie Susu" width="351" height="467" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p>I think I wanna start Google searching for Pie Susu recipe already!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sleepless night. I&#8217;m just way too excited right now for my Bali trip. To be honest, I&#8217;ve just managed to kinda finish pack up my stuff today. I&#8217;ve been starting to pack since yesterday from 8 something till 11 something, but it wasn&#8217;t done, I couldn&#8217;t make up my mind on what clothes I wanna bring and I ended up chit-chatting online and not bother about it. Oh gosh, I juat hate the packing and un-packing stuff from the baggage. That&#8217;s what I hate the most for travel&#8230; Argh..I still can&#8217;t make up my mind on what clothes to bring. My friend always says that it looks like I&#8217;m either shifting house or bringing my whole wardrobe altogether.</p>
<p>By the way, if you do not know yet, I always create a checklist for packing before each travel.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>By the way, there was some <a title="Earthquake and tsunami prediction" href="http://emeryn.com/2009/04/06/tsunami-2009/" target="_blank">prediction by a software engineer </a>months back about Earthquake will happen on 22nd July and causes a Tsunami which will hit Bali. I guess it&#8217;s safe to go since I receive no news of earthquake in Japan yet as of this moment. Perhaps, I should be more worried about possibility of bombing or H1N1 rather than Tsunami.</p>
<p>Ok, I&#8217;m starting to feel my eyes hurt now, time to rest now. Oh, Bali, here I come in a few hours time! Ciaoz guys.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I realize my Day 3 at Perth took me so long to write after so many post after my <a href="http://emeryn.com/2009/05/21/caversham-wildlife-park-whiteman/" target="_blank">Day 2</a>. Actually I didn&#8217;t wanna write much bout this. I&#8217;ve even wrote this 2 weeks back and kept in my draft till now.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Coz it&#8217;s sad.  M i s e r a b l e .</p>
<p> </p>
<p>That&#8217;s all I could recall of.</p>
<p>So, Day 3 was the day that we were suppose to rent for a car for the road trip. But before that, we followed/accompany Alvin to car workshop to checkout what&#8217;s wrong with his car and the pricing. But that was pretty fast.</p>
<p><a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/dscf2785.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1310" title="car workshop" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/dscf2785.jpg" alt="car workshop" width="467" height="350" /></a></p>
<p><span id="more-1180"></span></p>
<p>Then, Alywin needs to split up as he have some personal things to do that moment so we (me and Mr.BF) followed Alvin instead to look for a car. So, we headed to Bayswater Car Rental at Fremantle looking for a Corolla Sedan (we call it Altis here). Unfortunately, it was all rented out. We then asked if they could help to check if there is Corolla Sedan at Perth city or Subiaco and guess what?! They call us to call to the place by ourselves. OMG&#8230; I din expect this kinda service. I was expecting them to offer the help to call to other branch instead.</p>
<p>So, we called to Subiaco branch and there&#8217;s 1 last Corolla Sedan left and we drove there ASAP. But, more bad news to come. We couldn&#8217;t fulfill the requirements. <span style="color: #ffff66;"><strong>VERY CONFUSING</strong></span>. They have different rates for the age group of below 25 and 25 and above. So, we tried registering using Mr.BF&#8217;s name. But we will need a credit card which both of us doesn&#8217;t have (we dun believe in using credit cards, we believe in CA$H), so we tried using a ATM card which also function as a debit card instead but will need to pay more deposits. But the stupid darn ~@#$%^&amp;()-=_)(*&amp;^%$#@!~ debit card payment just couldn&#8217;t get through the payments no matter how small the amount is. There is definitely something wrong with it, it&#8217;s giving a few different errors. We were so desperate and called back to our local bank helpdesk which didn&#8217;t provide much of help and say there is no problem with the card. WTH?! I was so prepared to lodge a complain for that cause actually I&#8217;ve tried booking air flight tickets last time using it but can&#8217;t get through the payment also.</p>
<p>By then, there were another couple waiting for the same darn car! We were getting more desperate and try seeking help from Alvin, unfortunately, he couldn&#8217;t meet the requirements as well. We can pay all the CASH they want for the car rental but we can&#8217;t coz they need a valid credit card or a debit card with a valid license. Now we know that <span style="color: #ffff66;">MONEY CAN&#8217;T BUY EVERYTHING</span>!!! So, we contacted Alywin to rush to Subiaco ASAP as the couple is still waiting for us and the shop is closing soon. Oh yeah.. did I mention there were 2 assistant there, assistant A was quite arrogant and rude(not the customer servioce which I&#8217;ve expected), assistant B was polite and nice. Thank god assistant B was the person assisting us and was kind enough to allow us to drag more time.</p>
<p>Alvin got some urgent things need to attend and we feel paiseh too dragging him into this for hours and ask him to leave first and we&#8217;ll handle from there. So, we tried to settle it but unfortunately we had to let go the car in the end and leave the place as they&#8217;re closing already. And this is the darn car that we&#8217;ve been trying to get whole day!!!<br />

<p> </p>
<p>Nothing to do, the 2 of us wander around the street like puppies got lost of their ways in the city road. Our stomach started to growl and we stopped by V|C for food.</p>
<p><a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/dscf2851.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1326" title="VC" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/dscf2851.jpg" alt="VC" width="467" height="350" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/dscf2830.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1317" title="VC" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/dscf2830.jpg" alt="VC" width="467" height="350" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/dscf2827.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1315" title="VC" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/dscf2827.jpg" alt="VC" width="350" height="467" /></a></p>

<p> </p>
<p>You know ladies washroom have those vending machines which you can get a sanitary pad for RM0.60 . There you can get chewable toothbrush which I bought 1 too but haven&#8217;t test it until now.<br />
<a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/dscf2837.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1322" title="chewable toothbrush" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/dscf2837.jpg" alt="chewable toothbrush" width="350" height="467" /></a></p>
<p> </p>
<p>The men&#8217;s washroom lagi shiock. They have the vending machine for condom and stimulator which states that it&#8217;s the real thing and not a gimmick. Is there any fake ones?<br />
<a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/dscf2836.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1319" title="vending machine" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/dscf2836.jpg" alt="vending machine" width="350" height="467" /></a></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Condom @ AUD$2.<a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/dscf2836-1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1320" title="condom" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/dscf2836-1.jpg" alt="condom" width="350" height="504" /></a></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Stimulator @ AUD$1<a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/dscf2836-2.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1321" title="stimulator" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/dscf2836-2.jpg" alt="stimulator" width="350" height="484" /></a></p>
<p>Hm&#8230; If any guy was there to get a gal for a last minute one night stand, he can get the necessities(incredibly cheap too) and head directly to hotel, dun need to stop by any convenience shop also. So convenient&#8230;</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Glanced through the menu and saw Smoked Salmon Pizza, it sounds nice and we ordered for that.</p>
<p>And this is what we ordered &#8211; Smoked Salmon Pizza.<br />
<a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/dscf2840.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1323" title="Smoked Salmon Pizza" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/dscf2840.jpg" alt="Smoked Salmon Pizza" width="467" height="350" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/dscf2841.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1324" title="Smoked Salmon Pizza 2" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/dscf2841.jpg" alt="Smoked Salmon Pizza 2" width="467" height="350" /></a></p>
<p>WTH!@!@#@$@$ It totally looks different from the pizza which we always eat. This is so&#8230;er&#8230;so <strong>HEALTHY</strong>? Basically, it looks like a few pieces of smoked salmon with some sour cream or whipped cream with some chopped tomatoes on top of a round medium size pita bread coverred with some un-cooked fresh leaves sprinkle with a little bit of pepper, it doesn&#8217;t look ant bit like the typical pizza I&#8217;ve always eat elsewhere. That&#8217;s the healthiest pizza I ever tasted. Wait a second, should I even call it pizza? There&#8217;s no CHEESE at all !!!!!</p>
<p>Seriously, I felt so gloomy and so wanna cry at that time. Then, Alywin came to us by cab and we&#8217;re suppose to leave together, but that smart cab left without waiting and I can&#8217;t remember why Alywin left after that( I think my food just arrive haven&#8217;t finish yet). So, left us again like 2 wandering puppies at the street. By then, most of the places are closed and we just continued to walk after the food.</p>
<p><a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/dscf2830.jpg"></a><a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/dscf2860.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1329" title="wandering at subiaco" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/dscf2860.jpg" alt="wandering at subiaco" width="467" height="350" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/dscf2871.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1331" title="dscf2871" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/dscf2871.jpg" alt="dscf2871" width="467" height="350" /></a></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Then we saw this statement on one of the shop&#8217;s door written with what time would the &#8220;doctor&#8221; be in.</p>
<p><a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/dscf2856.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1328" title="doctor is in" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/dscf2856.jpg" alt="doctor is in" width="467" height="350" /></a></p>
<p>The doctor is not our doctor which we would visit when we&#8217;re sick. It&#8217;s a doctor that we would like to visit if we have a bad hair day.</p>
<p><a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/dscf2855.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1327" title="barber" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/dscf2855.jpg" alt="barber" width="467" height="350" /></a></p>
<p> </p>
<p>So, we passed by a hospital and there was this huge park opposite of it. We went for a stroll and thought could ask some passerby/joggers/patients if there&#8217;s any nice food around the corner. So, we asked a family and the conversation goes like this:</p>
<p><span style="color: #66ccff;">Mr.BFM</span> : Hi mate, we&#8217;re a tourist here and do you know if there&#8217;s any nice food or cafe nearby which is walking distance?<br />
<span style="color: #ff3399;">Father of the patient</span> : Er&#8230; you can try the hospital. There&#8217;s cafeteria there.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><em><strong>Mr.BF turned and look at me, I looked at him eyes wide open and almost jaw on floor&#8230; What a suggestion? Dun he have a better place to suggest than a hospital?!</strong></em></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="color: #ff3399;">Father of the patient continue</span> : I&#8217;m not local too, I&#8217;m just here cause my son is checked into this hospital.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So, that explains all? I dun think I would ever suggest anyone specially tourist to eat at the hospital&#8230; I dun think it will ever cross my mind.</p>
<p>Forget bout the food, we took a deep breath and sat at the bench trying to enjoy the air, the smell, the wind, the green, the scenery. We randomly took some photos.<br />
<a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/dscf2894.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1339" title="me at park 1" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/dscf2894.jpg" alt="me at park 1" width="467" height="350" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/dscf2897.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1342" title="me at park" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/dscf2897.jpg" alt="me at park" width="467" height="350" /></a></p>
<p>See&#8230;there&#8217;s a bird at the park.</p>
<p><a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/dscf2895.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1340" title="bird" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/dscf2895.jpg" alt="bird" width="467" height="328" /></a></p>
<p>Then, it is joined by another bird, a crow at the park.<a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/dscf2896.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1341" title="bird and crow" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/dscf2896.jpg" alt="bird and crow" width="467" height="309" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/dscf2901.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1345" title="green" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/dscf2901.jpg" alt="green" width="467" height="350" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/dscf2903.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1347" title="green 2" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/dscf2903.jpg" alt="green 2" width="350" height="467" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/dscf2913.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1352" title="tree" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/dscf2913.jpg" alt="tree" width="350" height="467" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/dscf2912.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1351" title="park 3" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/dscf2912.jpg" alt="park 3" width="467" height="350" /></a></p>
<p> </p>
<p>But this is a good moment for me cool down myself and think of what I&#8217;ve missed out in life like what do I want in my life&#8230; Then I spotted a few dogs running and playing fetch at the park, that&#8217;s when despair momentarily vanished, and wonder took its place. You know how much I love dogs right?</p>
<p>The first dog&#8217;s tail is black whereas the body fur colour is brown. Dun you think the tail looks fake like it was glued to his body?</p>
<p><a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/dscf2909.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1349" title="dog 1" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/dscf2909.jpg" alt="dog 1" width="467" height="350" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/dscf2910.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1350" title="dog 2" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/dscf2910.jpg" alt="dog 2" width="467" height="350" /></a></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Ahhh&#8230; I missed my Suki the Soukei Terrier so much. Wonder how was she at the moment. Was she angry at me that I&#8217;m away from her? Does she miss me?<br />
<a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/dsc00330.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1382" title="suki my soukei terrier" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/dsc00330.jpg" alt="suki my soukei terrier" width="350" height="467" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/dsc00331.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1383" title="suki my soukei terrier 2" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/dsc00331.jpg" alt="suki my soukei terrier 2" width="350" height="467" /></a></p>
<p>I&#8217;ve always keep this favorite photo of her in my mobile phone as if she follows me whenever I go. I&#8217;ll always see this photo whenever I&#8217;m in the car waiting, in the office, anytime, anywhere, even when poo in toilet. Oppps&#8230;.too much detail here.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Then, we continued our walking journey till we reached a Stadium. I do not know what&#8217;s the name of this stadium but it says Home of Football.</p>
<p><a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/dscf2922.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1357" title="home of football" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/dscf2922.jpg" alt="home of football" width="467" height="350" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/dscf2916.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1355" title="stadium" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/dscf2916.jpg" alt="stadium" width="467" height="350" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/dscf2932.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1361" title="stadium" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/dscf2932.jpg" alt="stadium" width="467" height="350" /></a></p>
<p> </p>
<p>And that was bout the time for sunset. The scenery looks really nice.<br />
<a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/dscf2946.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1362" title="dscf2946" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/dscf2946.jpg" alt="dscf2946" width="467" height="350" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/dscf2947.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1363" title="dscf2947" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/dscf2947.jpg" alt="dscf2947" width="467" height="350" /></a></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Bout that time, Alvin came to the rescue, then he brought us <em>yao cheh hor</em> around The Univeristy Club of Western Australia to see their nice building design. Wow&#8230; University building also look so nice, go to class also more <em>semangat</em>.<br />
<a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/dscf2957.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1364" title="building 1" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/dscf2957.jpg" alt="building 1" width="467" height="350" /></a></p>

<p> </p>
<p>Alvin offerred us to have dinner together at his place, but Lorraine and him only have the dishes enough for 2 portion so we went and <em>tah pao</em> some dishes.Then we rushed back to his place soonest possible and they prepare a nice home cooked food. It has certainly brightened up my day. Thanks Alvin and Lorraine for the delicious dinner. Hope to meet you guys soon again. =)</p>
<p><a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/dscf2976.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1368" title="preparing dinner" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/dscf2976.jpg" alt="preparing dinner" width="467" height="350" /></a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On the <a href="http://emeryn.com/2009/04/27/day-1-fremantle-wa-part-3/" target="_blank">earlier post</a>, we went to quite a few places on the first day itself. After a good rest, we prepared for the night.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/dscf2298.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-740" title="back to the future" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/dscf2298.jpg" alt="back to the future" width="467" height="350" /></a></p>
<p>We travelled through time with the &#8220;Back to the future&#8221; car and drop off at the very famous, should-not-miss-visiting-place in Perth called <a target="_blank" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kings_Park,_Western_Australia" target="_blank">King&#8217;s Park</a> located at western edge of Perth, Western Australia central business district.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/dscf2299.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-741" title="drop off" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/dscf2299.jpg" alt="drop off" width="467" height="350" /></a></p>
<p>It&#8217;s such a wonderful place specially at night&#8230; There were many families and friends picnic at the park, or bring the portable chair just to enjoy the scenery, the trees, the grass, the air, the wind, the atmosphere there. There&#8217;s more, my friend say if you&#8217;re lucky enough, you can spot couples doing XXX there. =,=&#8221;" . Totally destroy the scenery. Coz the place is meant to be very flora(trees and grass) and it&#8217;s very disrespectful as it&#8217;s a war memorial place as well.</p>
<p>Anyhow, we din get to see the &#8220;acts&#8221; on that day. So, it left me with a very good impression of the place.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Let silent contemplation be your offering at the <a title="Link to History and Memorials" href="http://emeryn.com/wp-admin/content/category/57/41/" target="_blank">State War Memorial</a> precinct. <a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/dscf2306.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-743" title="flame" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/dscf2306.jpg" alt="flame" width="467" height="350" /></a></p>
<p> I was told that the flame of this fire never goes off, I wonder how it stays light up forever then. Around this are like stadium concrete place for people to sit surrounding this. It has been said if you whisper to the concrete wall, the other person sitting far opposite can hear you, and you guys can communicate with each other. We tried but it didn&#8217;t work though, we ended up shouting to opposite person instead of whispering. Let me know if you tried and it works, perhaps I&#8217;ll try again my next trip to Perth, hopefully.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Kings Park War Memorial<br />
<a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/dscf2307-copy.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-744" title="kings park war memorial" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/dscf2307-copy.jpg" alt="kings park war memorial" width="467" height="350" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/dscf2311.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-745" title="Kings park war memorial 2" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/dscf2311.jpg" alt="Kings park war memorial 2" width="350" height="467" /></a></p>
<p> </p>
<p>We dun mean to be rude or disrespectful, just our playfulness and curiousity of how a missing character makes such huge impact difference to a sentence.<br />
<a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/dscf2313.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-746" title="dscf2313" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/dscf2313.jpg" alt="dscf2313" width="467" height="350" /></a></p>
<p> </p>
<p>The spectacular scenery at night at Kings Park.<br />
<a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/dscf2324.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-750" title="Kings park scenery" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/dscf2324.jpg" alt="Kings park scenery" width="467" height="350" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/dscf2337.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-752" title="Kings Park Scenery 2" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/dscf2337.jpg" alt="Kings Park Scenery 2" width="467" height="350" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/dscf2338.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-753" title="Kings Park scenery 3" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/dscf2338.jpg" alt="Kings Park scenery 3" width="350" height="467" /></a></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Stairway to Heaven Moon. It looks like it has stairs which leads to the moon.<br />
<a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/dscf2319.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-747" title="Stairway to Moon" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/dscf2319.jpg" alt="Stairway to Moon" width="350" height="467" /></a></p>
<p> </p>
<p>The reflection light on the Moon looks like a super big LED torch light shining on Perth Water or Swan River.<br />
<a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/dscf2328.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-751" title="bright moon" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/dscf2328.jpg" alt="bright moon" width="350" height="467" /></a></p>
<p> </p>
<p>We were trying to zoom in to the Moon see if we&#8217;re able to see anything there. Referring to legend, maybe can see Chang-Er there.<br />
<a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/dscf2322.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-748" title="zoom in moon" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/dscf2322.jpg" alt="zoom in moon" width="350" height="467" /></a></p>
<p>Then we zoom in to the water to see if we&#8217;re able to see anything in there. This somehow gave me the feeling of locating a big mutated fish-like creature in the water. <a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/dscf2323.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-749" title="zoom in water" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/dscf2323.jpg" alt="zoom in water" width="350" height="467" /></a><br />
 </p>
<p>You know, like in the movie <a target="_blank" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Host_(film)" target="_blank">The Host</a> or also known as <a target="_blank" href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0468492/" target="_blank">Gwoemul</a>. So, I was actually expecting something like this.<br />
<a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/the-host.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-780" title="the-host" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/the-host.jpg" alt="the-host" width="350" height="467" /></a><br />
 </p>
<p>Photo with a cute and friendly Schnauzer at the Park&#8230;But it turns out to be like green-eyes monster.<br />
<a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/dscf2340.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-754" title="photo with dog" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/dscf2340.jpg" alt="photo with dog" width="467" height="350" /></a></p>
<p> </p>
<p>The tree trunk is even smoother than my skin but it has &#8220;freckles&#8221;.<a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/dscf2359.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-755" title="tree" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/dscf2359.jpg" alt="tree" width="350" height="467" /></a></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Told ya~ Every where limousine. If I stayed there perhaps I could own one in the future&#8230; I mean the chances of owning is much higher. Price of a Camry is only roughly RM60k. Cheap huh?<br />
<a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/dscf2361.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-756" title="dscf2361" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/dscf2361.jpg" alt="dscf2361" width="467" height="350" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/dscf2362.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-757" title="limousine door" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/dscf2362.jpg" alt="limousine door" width="467" height="350" /></a></p>
<p>There were a bunch of pertty gals who looks like they&#8217;ve just finish attending a beauty pegeant having fun celebrating there. Of coz, they arrived in limousines, yes, 2 limousines, so it&#8217;s about 12 pretty chun chicks. Dun play play, the limousines are like super long cars.<br />
<a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/dscf2363.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-758" title="dscf2363" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/dscf2363.jpg" alt="dscf2363" width="467" height="350" /></a></p>
<p> </p>
<p>We then headed to Alvin Toh&#8217;s place for party gathering, a friend of Alwin.<br />
On the way, we spotted this police car/van. Dun do silly things k? Later get lock-up inside. I wonder how it feels sitting in there.<br />
<a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/dscf2367.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-760" title="police van" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/dscf2367.jpg" alt="police van" width="467" height="350" /></a></p>
<p> </p>
<p>There we are, Alvin&#8217;s place is at one of the unit at first floor.<br />
<a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/dscf2368.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-761" title="Alvin's place" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/dscf2368.jpg" alt="Alvin's place" width="467" height="350" /></a></p>
<p> </p>
<p>With Alvin&#8217;s lovely housemate, Lorraine, lovely name too.<br />
<a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/dscf2370.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-762" title="lorraine" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/dscf2370.jpg" alt="lorraine" width="350" height="467" /></a></p>
<p>I really wonder how they could live under the same roof. Coz there&#8217;s no lock on room doors, and worse still, there&#8217;s <strong>NO LOCK</strong> in toilets! Imagine if it happens that your housemate is some psycho pervert. @.@ But anyway, it&#8217;s all about trust too, right?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Took a group photo with newly met friends there. It was kinda weird, coz most people bring their friends there which the host(Elvin and Lorraine) have not met them before. So, most people doesn&#8217;t know each other there. It feels more like attending those social networking event, but it was great that everyone get along well.<br />
<a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/dscf2371.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-763" title="group photo" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/dscf2371.jpg" alt="group photo" width="467" height="350" /></a></p>
<p>Cheeky photo.<br />
<a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/dscf2372.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-764" title="cheeky" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/dscf2372.jpg" alt="cheeky" width="467" height="350" /></a></p>
<p> </p>
<p>After the gathering, we headed to one of the clubs at Metro City, Northbridge. I&#8217;ve forgotten the name. But totally felt like I was in one of the many clubs in Kuala Lumpur instead due to the amount of Asians there. But the DJs and dancers on stage are &#8216;mat salehs&#8217;.<br />
<a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/dscf2389.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-766" title="clubbing" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/dscf2389.jpg" alt="clubbing" width="467" height="350" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/dscf2390.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-767" title="clubbing" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/dscf2390.jpg" alt="clubbing" width="467" height="350" /></a></p>
<p>This picture somewhat look so wrong and weird.<br />
<a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/dscf2387.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-765" title="dscf2387" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/dscf2387.jpg" alt="dscf2387" width="467" height="350" /></a></p>
<p> </p>
<p>We left the place when we were all tired and Alvin was drunk. Not far away from the club there&#8217;s a police car nearby. So, better dun drink and drive, even if you have drank and you think that you&#8217;re fully awake and sane. Else you might end up with a ticket.<br />
<a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/dscf2398.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-768" title="police car" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/dscf2398.jpg" alt="police car" width="467" height="350" /></a></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Headed to &#8220;Tong-yan Kai&#8221; (Chinatown) for supper. We ate at City Garden Chinese Restaurant. It seems more like a dinner instead of supper to me. Usually supper would be light, but this is quite a heavy supper for me.<br />
<a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/dscf2400.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-769" title="supper" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/dscf2400.jpg" alt="supper" width="467" height="350" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/dscf2406.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-770" title="supper" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/dscf2406.jpg" alt="supper" width="467" height="350" /></a></p>
<p>We orderred Hot Plate Tofu.<br />
<a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/dscf2411.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-773" title="hot plate tofu" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/dscf2411.jpg" alt="hot plate tofu" width="467" height="350" /></a></p>
<p>Fried Calamari.<br />
<a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/dscf2412.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-759" title="fried calamari" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/dscf2412.jpg" alt="fried calamari" width="467" height="350" /></a></p>
<p>Chicken. I&#8217;ve forgotten what&#8217;s the name of this dish, it was a little sweet and sour, but it&#8217;s not called Sweet and Sour Chicken or Thai style Chicken.<br />
<a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/dscf2407.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-771" title="Chicken" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/dscf2407.jpg" alt="Chicken" width="467" height="350" /></a></p>
<p>People there were so nice and friendly, one of the guy sitting next to our table saw us taking photo and he offerred his kind help to take a group photo of us. How nice =)<br />
<a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/dscf24101.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-777" title="supper group photo" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/dscf24101.jpg" alt="supper group photo" width="467" height="350" /></a></p>
<p>Alvin was still drunk at that time and we managed to capture video of him crapping a lot too, his word pronounciation are mostly off that time. But, I dun think I&#8217;m sharing out that video. Maybe next time. =)</p>
<p>That&#8217;s my end of 1st day at Perth. It was fun, exciting but tiring day coz have been here and there the whole day. We wouldn&#8217;t want to waste time resting at home of coz.</p>
<p>Next up &#8211; We visit to zoo wildlife park. That&#8217;s just so awesome!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So, we have seen enough of limousines and submarine <a href="http://emeryn.com/2009/04/22/day-1-fremantle-wa-part-2/" target="_blank">earlier</a>. We then headed towards our next destination which is Fremantle Memorium Park. On the way, we passed one of the fire station there and stop nearby the area to grab a drink.</p>
<p>Fire station building also looks so nice.<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-667" title="fire station" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2227.jpg" alt="fire station" width="467" height="350" /></p>
<p>Went to this place to grab a drink. Wow&#8230;this photo somewhat turns out so nice with the cloud reflection on the glass. Looks more like a drawing or graphic edited photo. I swear to god I didn&#8217;t edit this. It&#8217;s all about skills. =)<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-668" title="nice photo" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2223.jpg" alt="nice photo" width="467" height="350" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Fremantle Memorium Park is an unforgettable place for me. Why so?</p>
<p>Firstly, is the green.</p>

<p>Spot the difference. Okay..I dun exactly mean to be mean here. Just thought that a missing character make such a huge difference.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-676" title="photo 2" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2244.jpg" alt="photo 2" width="350" height="467" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p>This is heavy! No kidding!</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-677" title="photo 3" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2249.jpg" alt="photo 3" width="467" height="350" /></p>
<p> <span id="more-642"></span></p>
<p>So, back to the question, why is Fremantle Memorium Park an unforgettable place for me? We saw that there&#8217;s a group of gals having some kind of gathering there, then there are 2 gals at about 200 meters away from them, the group called the 2 gals and 1 of the gal pulled up her shirt responding to them. The guys around that park would really be disappointed coz she wears a bra, so, nothing much shown. But you wouldn&#8217;t have seen that scene in the park here though.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-682" title="gathering" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2261.jpg" alt="gathering" width="467" height="333" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thirdly, the most shiock part. Suddenly there are 2 limousines arrive(See, limousine again, told ya limousine every where!) and groups of people came out, I guess they&#8217;ve just out or heading to some outfit party or some circus thing judging from their costumes.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-680" title="Limousine" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2257.jpg" alt="Limousine" width="467" height="350" /></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-681" title="Costume" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2256.jpg" alt="Costume" width="467" height="316" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p>There&#8217;s this person who really caught our attention. Check out the blondie&#8217;s breast! They&#8217;re HUGE! Best of all, we get a chance to GRAB it!</p>
<p><a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/blondie-boobs.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-678" title="blondie-boobs" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/blondie-boobs.jpg" alt="blondie-boobs" width="411" height="195" /></a></p>
<p>Oppsie&#8230;. can see the nipples, guys would really love this.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s zoom out. Gotcha! Are you still jealous that we get to grab <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">her</span> his breast?</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-683" title="grab" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2255.jpg" alt="grab" width="467" height="337" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p>When we&#8217;re leaving Fremantle Memorium Park, we spotted the group os gals putting their arms on the shoulder of the person infront walking in circles, you like..like how you did the &#8220;tuu tuu&#8221; train game while you&#8217;re young. Wonder wassup with that&#8230;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-686" title="tuu tuu train" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2264.jpg" alt="tuu tuu train" width="467" height="350" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p>After that, we headed to Woodman Point Regional Park.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-687" title="driving" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2266.jpg" alt="driving" width="467" height="350" /></p>
<p>There&#8217;s a warning sign saying THEFT RISK AREA. So, take care of your belongings.<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-688" title="theft risk area" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/photo1133.jpg" alt="theft risk area" width="467" height="350" /></p>
<p>The signs says &#8220;Walking the dog&#8221;. This tells us that this park allow dogs walking but urh&#8230; I didn&#8217;t see any dog walking at that park that day. <img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-689" title="walking the dog" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/photo1134.jpg" alt="walking the dog" width="467" height="350" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Tooks some photos at the park too. But nothign much there.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-690" title="at the park" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/photo1136.jpg" alt="at the park" width="467" height="350" /></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-692" title="Woodman point regional park" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/photo1139.jpg" alt="Woodman point regional park" width="467" height="350" /></p>
<p>More seagulls. They&#8217;re every where.<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-691" title="more birds" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/photo1137.jpg" alt="more birds" width="467" height="350" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Then, we headed towards Woodman Point Jetty, it&#8217;s just about 3-5 minutes walk from the park.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-697" title="walking towards jetty" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2272.jpg" alt="walking towards jetty" width="467" height="350" /></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-693" title="walking towards jetty" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2274.jpg" alt="walking towards jetty" width="467" height="350" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p>AaAaaahhh~ It felt so nice when my naked feet touches the clean soft sands with the coel breeze blowing towards us. It wasn&#8217;t too windy that day and the beach wasn&#8217;t too pack with people. It&#8217;s just so relaxing that I felt like lying down flat on the beach and swing my arms and legs on the sand like how Rain did it when he enjoys the bed in Full House (korean drama).</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-706" title="beach" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/photo1142.jpg" alt="beach" width="467" height="350" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Some people at the beach side.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-695" title="beach" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2275.jpg" alt="beach" width="467" height="350" /></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-696" title="beach" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2276.jpg" alt="beach" width="467" height="350" /></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-694" title="beach" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2273.jpg" alt="beach" width="467" height="350" /></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-698" title="beach" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2277.jpg" alt="beach" width="467" height="350" /></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-699" title="bird" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2284.jpg" alt="bird" width="467" height="350" /></p>
<p>Seagull again!</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-700" title="seagull" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2281.jpg" alt="seagull" width="467" height="350" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p>It was such a nice fine weather for fishing too.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-701" title="fishing" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2282.jpg" alt="fishing" width="467" height="350" /></p>
<p>Look at the amount of people fishing there.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-702" title="fishing" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2292.jpg" alt="fishing" width="467" height="350" /></p>
<p>People there really cared about their environment. Although there&#8217;s lotsa people fishing there, the place is quite clean. But, dun expect it to be sparkling clean. You&#8217;ll still see some fish blood stain on the ground.</p>
<p>Alwyn told me there&#8217;s this one time it was quite windy, the newspaper of a guy(not local) flew to the sea. You know..flew into the sea&#8230;how are we going to pick that up right? So, there&#8217;s nothing much he could do. Then, one of the locals there jump into the sea almost instantaneously to pick up the newspaper and came up scolded the guy on no action taken. So, that&#8217;s how much eople cared about their environment. I didn&#8217;t expect that. Come to think of it&#8230; Perth is a very clean place.</p>
<p>We caught a sight of a seal swimming around the area with its mouth open and close non-stop. I was so happy that I manage to see a real seal, not from Animal Planet as usual. Couldn&#8217;t take a clearer picture here coz he&#8217;s moving here and there.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-703" title="seal" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2286.jpg" alt="seal" width="467" height="350" /></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-704" title="seal 2" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2287.jpg" alt="seal 2" width="467" height="350" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Then, we realize that it&#8217;s got a hook stucked in its mouth. He was trying his best to loose it off(I assume it&#8217;s a he laz k?). Lucky him, he manage to remove the hook in its mouth. He must be either too lazy to hunt for fish and took his luck eating off the hook or he&#8217;s new and didn&#8217;t know what&#8217;s a hook. We were so worried that it&#8217;ll cause his death. Thank god that he managed to escape from the mishap.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-705" title="seal 3" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2291.jpg" alt="seal 3" width="467" height="350" /></p>
<p> </p>
<p>After that we headed back to Alywin&#8217;s place for a rest and prepare for the night. It was such an interesting night. So, stay tune for more!</p>

Walking on the streets of Fremantle, came across a road name CROKE LANE. I would have mistakenly added extra &#8220;O&#8221; and &#8220;D&#8221; which makes it CROOKED LANE. Hm..doesn&#8217;t sound right.</p>
<p>In Fremantle, there&#8217;s few ways of tour. You can tour around the area by your feet or with this cute little car scooter.</p>
<p>Cost AUD40 for 30 minutes. You can view the rates <a target="_blank" href="http://www.scootfreo.com.au/" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2160.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-628" title="Scooter car" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2160.jpg" alt="Scooter car" width="467" height="350" /></a></p>

<p>Or, you may tour around on tram with Fremantle Tram Tours.</p>
<p><a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2225.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-633" title="Fremantle Tram Tour" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2225.jpg" alt="Fremantle Tram Tour" width="467" height="322" /></a></p>
<p>or, travel with back-packing car. I dunno what exactly these car are called. Please correct me.</p>
<p><a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2153.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-634" title="dscf2153" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2153.jpg" alt="dscf2153" width="467" height="350" /></a></p>
<p>Or, you may tour with style with <a target="_blank" href="http://www.uniquelimousines.com.au" target="_blank">Unique Limousine</a> like me.</p>
<p><a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2179.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-600" title="In limousine" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2179.jpg" alt="In limousine" width="467" height="350" /></a></p>
<p><span id="more-577"></span></p>
<p>It costs AUD600/day.</p>
<p><a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2179.jpg"></a></p>
<p><a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2177.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-602" title="In limousine 2" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2177.jpg" alt="In limousine 2" width="467" height="350" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2178.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-601" title="In limousine 3" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2178.jpg" alt="In limousine 3" width="350" height="467" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2180.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-607" title="Just married" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2180.jpg" alt="Just married" width="464" height="350" /></a></p>
<p>And yeah, we just got married, that&#8217;s why we were in Perth honeymoon.</p>
<p>Nah! Just kidding. I dun think I would want to spend RM1446/day for a limou service, not that it&#8217;s not a pretty car, but I wouldn&#8217;t want to spend my day in the limousine for this visit.</p>
<p>And No, we weren&#8217;t getting married yet. We were lucky that the owner was so nice that he allowed us to just sit in to feel and snap photos. We were actually taking turns to snap a photo together with the owner and his car.</p>
<p><a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2175.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-603" title="Limousine owner" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2175.jpg" alt="Limousine owner" width="467" height="350" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2170.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-604" title="Limousine front" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2170.jpg" alt="Limousine front" width="467" height="304" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2176.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-605" title="Front seat" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2176.jpg" alt="Front seat" width="467" height="350" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2181.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-606" title="Limousine side back" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2181.jpg" alt="Limousine side back" width="350" height="467" /></a></p>
<p>Ahead of the car, we spotted another nice unique antique car.</p>
<p><a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf21841.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-609" title="antique car" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf21841.jpg" alt="antique car" width="467" height="350" /></a></p>
<p>Again, we took turns to take photo with the car owner. But I can&#8217;t recall if she&#8217;s the owner or just the responsible person for the car. But, nevermind, nice car! How I wish I have this car to drive here, wow, imagine all spotlight on me and I&#8217;ll be talk of the town! Nice~ Oh crapz, sounds like I&#8217;m lack of attention.</p>
<p><a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2187.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-610" title="antique car 2" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2187.jpg" alt="antique car 2" width="476" height="350" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2186.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-611" title="antique car 3" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2186.jpg" alt="antique car 3" width="467" height="350" /></a></p>
<p>In the streets of Fremantle, there were a lot of couples getting married and they travel with style with limousines(that&#8217;s what I think coz not so common in Malaysia).  There are limousines every where!</p>
<p><a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2150.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-591" title="Limousine 2" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2150.jpg" alt="Limousine 2" width="467" height="350" /></a></p>

<p><a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2167.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-594" title="dscf2167" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2167.jpg" alt="dscf2167" width="529" height="350" /></a></p>
<p> <a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2152.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-589" title="Limousine 1" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2152.jpg" alt="Limousine 1" width="467" height="350" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2169.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-595" title="dscf2169" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2169.jpg" alt="dscf2169" width="467" height="357" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2168.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-598" title="Limousine 5" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2168.jpg" alt="Limousine 5" width="467" height="350" /></a></p>
<p>Okay, some photos are kinda repeated. It&#8217;s the front, back and side view of the car. But really, there were lotsa limousines around. Or, was it just my luck to see that many that day?</p>
<p>After checking out all these nice limousines and car, we spotted this 2 door <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Perodua Kelisa</span> Daihatsu Cuore.</p>
<p><a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2146.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-613" title="Daihatsu Cuore" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2146.jpg" alt="Daihatsu Cuore" width="467" height="350" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2147.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-612" title="Daihatsu Cuore" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2147.jpg" alt="Daihatsu Cuore" width="467" height="327" /></a></p>
<p>But, it really looks like Kelisa right minus the other 2 door right with improvised front design? Opps&#8230; Lemme rephrase it, Kelisa really looks like Cuore right?!</p>
<p>Then, we also stopped by &lt; ahref=&#8221;http://www.museum.wa.gov.au/maritime/&#8221; target=&#8221;_blank&#8221;&gt;WA Maritime Museum at Victoria Quay, but they were closed. WTH, why does the shops closes so early at Perth?! It&#8217;s as early as 5pm!</p>
<p><a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2201.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-614" title="WA Maritime Museum" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2201.jpg" alt="WA Maritime Museum" width="467" height="350" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2193.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-615" title="dscf2193" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2193.jpg" alt="dscf2193" width="467" height="350" /></a></p>
<p>Left with no choice but to linger outside the museum. Some views outside of WA Maritime Museum.</p>
<p><a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2199.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-616" title="dscf2199" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2199.jpg" alt="dscf2199" width="467" height="350" /></a></p>

<p><a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2195.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-618" title="dscf2195" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2195.jpg" alt="dscf2195" width="467" height="350" /></a></p>
<p>There is a long list of names engraved on the Welcome Walls which has the first batch of people whom arrived in Australia via Fremantle port.</p>
<p><a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2213.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-619" title="dscf2213" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2213.jpg" alt="dscf2213" width="467" height="335" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2207.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-624" title="dscf2207" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2207.jpg" alt="dscf2207" width="467" height="350" /></a></p>
<p>But there were so many till I get stressed out trying to search if my ancestors name are there too. i din go through all walls anyway, just just too many, and I doubt my ancestors arrived in Australia. Okay, fret not, you can save your time by searching it online <a target="_blank" href="http://wwregistration.museum.wa.gov.au/mm_index.asp" target="_blank">here</a> too.</p>
<p><a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2212.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-620" title="Stress" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2212.jpg" alt="Stress" width="467" height="350" /></a></p>
<p>We found some names which are dated back at 1829. Okay, maybe that&#8217;s not the earliest there, but this is one of the earlierst I could find.</p>
<p><a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2214.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-621" title="Welcome walls" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2214.jpg" alt="Welcome walls" width="467" height="350" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2215.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-622" title="Name of Welcome Walls" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2215.jpg" alt="Name of Welcome Walls" width="467" height="186" /></a></p>
<p>Hey, let me help you with this. &#8220;Oh gosh, what&#8217;s inside?! Did you just put cement in it? How come I couldn&#8217;t carry it?! Btw, dun forget to give me tips for my kind attempt to help.&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2200.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-623" title="carry" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2200.jpg" alt="carry" width="467" height="350" /></a></p>
<p>Beside the WA Maritime Museum, guess what&#8217;s the black thingie behind me.</p>
<p><a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2211.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-625" title="dscf2211" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2211.jpg" alt="dscf2211" width="350" height="467" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2210.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-626" title="dscf2210" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2210.jpg" alt="dscf2210" width="350" height="467" /></a></p>
<p>It&#8217;s a part of submarine.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s a submarine! Oh my gosh!!! <strong>SUBMARINE</strong>, I wanna go in!!! But too bad, it was already closed. =( Tours starting from 10am-3.30pm only. So, I ended viewing from outside only. I din know submarine could be this big.</p>
<p> <a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2208.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-627" title="Submarine" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2208.jpg" alt="Submarine" width="467" height="350" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2225.jpg"></a> </p>
<p>Oh yeah, before I forget to mention this. On the first day itself, we spotted about 3-5 cases of police chase. The traffic police there are pretty active, they kinda hunt for traffic offenders. Once they spotted a traffic offenders, they&#8217;ll start chasing them and turn on the warning light and sound to alert the person infront to stop. The <em>samans</em> there are pretty expensive, and you can&#8217;t settle it under table. So, you&#8217;d better off obeying the traffic rules there.</p>
<p><a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2139.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-632" title="dscf2139" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2139.jpg" alt="dscf2139" width="467" height="350" /></a></p>
<p>Later we went to Frementle Memorium Park and spotted hot <em>chick</em>. Dun miss that, stay tune!</p>

OMG&#8230; that is so early! it&#8217;s like tea time instead of dinner time for me. I guess it could be due the shops closes early, so, u gotta have your dinner earlier too.</p>
<p>While was still in Malaysia, my friend told me, &#8220;You MUST go to Fremantle and eat their fish and chips.&#8221;. My colleague also told me to try their chille mussels. Okay, so I listened and there was I at Fremantle, WA.</p>
<p><a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2055.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-529" title="Fremantle" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2055.jpg" alt="Fremantle" width="467" height="350" /></a></p>

<p>There&#8217;s this long railway road at Fremantle, but the train no longer works.</p>
<p> <a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2049.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-530" title="Fremantle rail road" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2049.jpg" alt="Fremantle rail road" width="467" height="350" /></a></p>

<p> </p>
<p>We went to Kailis&#8217; Fish Market Cafe. Wow, there&#8217;s so many people there. Sorry yeah the photo is a bit too dark.</p>
<p><a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2059.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-534" title="@ Kailis'" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2059.jpg" alt="@ Kailis'" width="467" height="350" /></a></p>

<p> </p>
<p>We orderred Seafood Platter, Seafood Delight, and ginger beer. During the payment at cashier, you&#8217;ll be given a black thingie(i dunno what is it called). You&#8217;ll be informed that the food is ready, then you go back to the cashier&#8217;s place there to collect your food.</p>
<p><a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2071.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-538" title="I-dunno-what-is-this-called" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2071.jpg" alt="I-dunno-what-is-this-called" width="467" height="350" /></a></p>

<p> Not such a bad idea for a self service, coz you dun need to stand there like a jerk while they prepare for the food. besides, you get to enjoy the view while waiting.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>In Perth, some or many people owns a yacht. Pretty cool huh? I can see some houses have their yacht at home. At Fremantle, you can see them stopping by, to buy some food tapao back to the Yacht, then they enjoy the scenery, the wind and the delicious food.</p>
<p><a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2069.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-543" title="yacht" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2069.jpg" alt="yacht" width="467" height="350" /></a></p>
<p> </p>
<p>There are a lot of seagulls around. The signs says No Swimming No Diving. Look at the seagulls at the sea, they&#8217;re <em>swimming</em> there.</p>
<p><a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2081.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-546" title="Seagull" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/dscf2081.jpg" alt="Seagull" width="467" height="350" /></a></p>
<p> </p>
<p>This one sumore drying itself up after a nice cool swim.</p>

<p>There&#8217;s a sign board on each table says not to feed them.</p>
<p><a href="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/14032009613.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-537" title="No feeding birds" src="http://emeryn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/14032009613.jpg" alt="No feeding birds" width="350" height="467" /></a></p>
<p>As soon as you leave your place, they&#8217;ll start their meal with your leftovers. And geez&#8230; there&#8217;re fierce! They fight for food. Now I know that life of a bird wasn&#8217;t that easy afterall. they will even wallop the veges. See! They are eating carrots.</p>

<p>When the signs says not to feed them, you&#8217;d better not feed them. My uncle once told me that while he was at Fremantle, there was one seagull beside him and it seems innocent like begging for food. So, he fed him. Once fed, the seagull make some sound. The next thing he knew was a flock of seagulls flying towards him and he have to abondon his food. But, you may try feeding and let me know next time. Would be interested to know about it.</p>
<p>My ginger beer @ AUD2.70. Taste nice, it doesn&#8217;t really have the beer taste, if not mistaken the beer contents are very low.</p>
