Mounts Bay Hotel Apartment

Here I am again reporting live from Perth City. I will be here for a month starting 15th July 2009 until 13th August 2009. I was originially placed in Travelodge Hotel but my project secretary decided to put me in an cozy apartment at Mounts Bay Village instead. It is really a nice and beautiful apartment. I really wish to get a house like this in future.

Claisebrook Cove Revisited

It is my last evening here in Perth before I head back to sunny Singapore. Seems like Lady Luck understand that I really hope to get a good shot of Claisebrook Cove as the weather is beautiful today.

Immediately after work, I went back to my hotel to grab my gears and took the Yellow CAT down to Claisebrook and took some shots. Hope that it is good. Enjoy.

Cottesloe Beach

Got nothing on yesterday so decided to go to Fremantle for Fish and Chip brunch again. Bought the whole day train pass at AUD$8.40 instead of AUD$3.50 single trip because it will actually cost me AUD$7.00 for a to and fro trip.

Anyway, I got another agenda on my mind. I read again Cottesloe Beach on Lonely Planet and is really interested to check it out. I went to the beach and it is really breath-taking. Really beautiful but it is cloudy and windy. Only get a few shots before I left. Hope to be back here during the evening when the view is much nicer.

Claisebrook Cove

Was with Ian at Claisebrook Cove during his visit to Perth. We went to explore Claisebrook Cove one night before his departure trip back to Melbourne. Actually, I slip off halfway from work and went out with him. :P Sorry Bro, can't keep you accompany the whole day.

Anyway, we went to explore Claisebrook and the scenery is breath-taking but... I never bring my camera as I met Ian straight after work. I should have told him to bring my camera bag along. Well, this decision really comes back to haunt me later on.

I told myself that I will come back to Claisebrook to take some night shots. Since there is nothing on during the weekend, I decided to head out to Claisebrook to do my night shoot but alas... the weather have been really crappy as it is cloudy and rainy. Did not really get the shots I wanted. Hope to be able to go back again.

A Visit to Rottnest with an old friend, my buddy, my brother

Greetings from Perth again. Was assigned back here for another 3 weeks for work. Now is the winter season and it is rather cold.

I was very fortunate to have a surprise visit from an old friend, my buddy since Poly times, my brother Ian who came over from Melbourne to Perth for a visit during my stay here.

We planned for our activities to make the full use of the time when he was here over the weekend. First and foremost, we went to Femantle yesterday and have Kailis' Fish and Chips for lunch. Today, we went to Rottnest for a day tour.

Too bad that we did not know what to expect for this day trip, so very little planning was done for the moving around the island which was a mistake. There is no proper transport around Rottnest and to get around this big island, it will be better to cycle to get from places to places.

Even so, it never stop me from taking photos and sharing with all. Enjoy.

Swan River (Panoramic)

Time flies... Soon it is time for me to head back home to Singapore...

Just to share a shot taken near Swam River last Saturday. Enjoy...

Kings Park (Night)

Since this is the last Saturday here in Perth. I decided to do something that I never tried doing which is to go to Kings Park and take some night shoot. Enjoy...

Night View from my Hotel

The moon is so beautiful tonight... Just took a shot from my hotel balcony. Enjoy...

Kings Park

Didn't get to explore the whole of Kings Park when I was here 2 years back. 2 years later, the same thing still happened. It is because I never really realise how big Kings Park is. It might take one whole day to explore it. Was at Kings Park around late afternoon because I observed that the direction of the sun will be good to showcase the cityscape of Perth. Really wished to take my tripod and stay until the city light up. Maybe next time...

Revisiting Fremantle, View from my Hotel (Panorama)

Went to Fremantle again, but this time alone... I remembered 2 years back, I was on the same train to Fremantle with Ian and Aeris. It was so fun and memorable. Took some photos to share with all. There is no good way to show how beautiful Fremantle is but by using Panorama. So enjoy...

To Perth Again...

I remembered very clearly that 2 years back in 2007, I made my first maiden trip to Australia, to Perth City to visit Ian, Aeris and Theo. 2 years later, I am back here to Perth again. Not for leisure but for work this time round...

Anyway, really tiring because I just touched down in Singapore a few days ago from my Cambodia trip and here and go again, to another foreign place. Not much to do in Perth because I got to work in the day. By the time I finish work. All the shops are closed. :( Hope to be able to start exploring over the weekends.

Took some snapshots of my hotel room and my surrounding to share with all. Enjoy...
