We had booked Qantas Airline as our sky transportation to Perth. This trip was a short trip, we only stay for 6 days 5 nights. And our flight’s departure time was on 16 August 2012 midnight and arrival to Australia Perth in the next morning 5 am. About our accommodation, we were planning to stay at my hubby best friend’s house. A big welcomes from them and very thanks them to offer us to stay at their home.

Day ONE & TWO - 16 August’12 (Thursday) 17 August'12 (Friday)

we brought our luggage with our two children ‘Butterdog (Goofy) & Handsome (Pluto)’ (plush toys) departure from our home to Changi Airport Singapore. We reached Changi Airport Singapore and made a check-in luggage and tickets in order for us to boarding. During waiting for boarding we took some photo and had ours dinner inside the airport.

Our boarding time was opened, and we were on board. Aircraft began to take off... The aircraft flying through the air, flight attendants have begun their services to all the passengers in the cockpit, e.g. serving food, wine, blanket, headset… During the flight attendants serving the food to us we took some photos in the cockpit. Ta-dah! Our airplane food – look at my two children enjoying to taking photos.

Ta-dah!

Finally, we reached our destination at Perth International Terminal airport at around 5 am, 17 Aug’12 (Friday). We were taking photos outside the airport while waiting for my hubby’s best friend came to meet us and brought us to his home. We reached his home around 6 am and we took a nap for refresh and shop around the Perth City Area with our own. Our best friend needs to work today so we done our first trip itinerary.

We woke up at 10 am morning and preparing to go out enjoys our first day trip at Perth. Wu-hoo~ I really love the houses in Perth – big, nice, simple, peaceful and the air was so refresh. We took bus at outside home heading to the city of Perth.

We were arrival in the City of Perth. I am so exciting and hungry. So many 'ANGMO' - a Hokkien language it means many white people. We were looking around the place while hunting some restaurant for our dinner.

And we found a fast food restaurant ‘Hungry Jack’. It was a restaurant like ‘Burger King’ in Singapore. I ordered Burger Chicken and my hubby ordered Burger Beef.

After our dinner, we were planning to go around at the Hay Street Mall. Then, we passed by the Forrest Chase Perth. And I took a photo with the tourism counter and she was so friendly. Look at us!

Forrest Chase Perth was a Premier shopping area with many branded things. And there have a lot of nice & beautiful restaurant. The people were so nice and friendly. I really love the environment at there and the people always put on smile even they don’t know you. And I met an ‘ANGMO’ guy super handsome and I looked at him and he smiles to me. So happy and of cause I told my hubby this and his face likes omg! .......? Ha-Ha…

The Hay Street Mall a heartbeat of the city, more new stores to shop in and you’ll be able to see Dick Smith store, David Jones, Spirts Girl and many others. It is enough to shop until you drop and a place to visit as a shopping experience, jam packed with interesting sights, sounds, crowds. It’s really a nice place to spend for few hours.

Of cause not only these two places, there were so many mall in the city, e.g. Garden City Shopping Centre a mall with a huge variety of shops and boutique, Carillon City Shopping Centre a mall that connect to Hay Street Mall and was a massive spread of top brand outlets, Karrinyup Shopping Centre a mall that has a lot of offer only have 2-storey not big and not small and many others mall.

After we spent few hours at the Hay Street Mall and others mall, we went to Harbour Town Perth. Harbour Town Perth was a factory outlet in the city and there have variety shop which you can buy, e.g. Adidas, Nike, New Balance, Brookes, Jim Kidd, Converse, RM Williams, Levis, Cotton On and others. To me, this was the favorite place I loved to go, cause has many shops and fashion shops for girls, especially Cotton On, I bought many clothing for myself, my family and for my big plush toys inside the Cotton On and some cost $1, $2, $5 per piece. I am looking for cheap stuff… Ha-Ha! And we bought 2 pairs of shoes at Nike Shop, and sport jacket, T-shirt from Adidas. We bought many things in this outlet. And there also had few cafés you can sit down to take a rest. We spent around 2 to 3 hours inside this outlet until many of the shop closed at 5 pm.

After shopping, we waiting for our best friend came to meet us in the city and brought us to Sorrento Quay Boardwalk dinner together with his family. Sorrento Quay Boardwalk it is on the ocean, located at Western Australia Sunset Coast just needs to take about 20 minutes north of Perth city. At Sorrento Quay Boardwalk you will found that they have many selections of restaurants and cafes, a tavern, over 40 specialty stores to tempt you with all manner of goods, and a safe, well-protected swimming beach. We decided to have our dinner at Little Caesars Pizzeria. This Little Caesars Pizzeria with dozens of pizzas to choose from, here were our pizzas.
