(3) Accomodation + Tour fee - S$1500 (Aus$1200)
(4) Expense in Perth - S$700
Total - S$3790

Anyway, your all would think that i'm so rich and can afford to go. No way! i actually borrowed S$3000 from my mum and sister (aka Payung) for this trip :)


Friends from diff work of life
I met frens who work as IT specialist, Sales executive, advertising designer...
They are interesting to chat with due to the diff background and life experience.
& I met the drinkers, jokers, uncles & aunties there.

Lecturer - Corey and his daughter
Especially must thank to the lecturer who design this module and then, i could have the chance to visit Perth (This is my 2nd time to Australia. Haha). And he has cutest daughters that i had seen in my life - Zoe & Jess. Two of them become the celebrities during the tour. We kept taking photo with them and they love to take photo too.

Impression of Perth
Perth can be quite boring place in most of our's perception. I must admit that it is quite bored after 5pm. Luckily, my groupmate aka housemates who is keen enough and cook and drink almost very night. The aboriginal culture and farm' life is opening my eyes. It is super amazing when seeing how a sheep being shaved during Winter! (I pity the sheep who lose the furs during Winter! it was so cold there).

Aboriginal Food
I had tried Kangroo, Crocodile and Emu's meat. It taste like lambs as it got the smell that i had most. I didnt take any photo as i was too hungry.

Shopping
It is still fun as i had almost spent half of my pocket money to the factory outlet shopping mall - The Harbour Town (Sounds like Harbour Front). It is really a "Good Buy! Best buy! & Must Buy!) paradise. All the major brands are having 40%-70% discounts.
