So day 7 (7th July 08) concludes my Perth trip... Finally, i'm back to the familiar sights of Singapore Changi Airport; of rushing people obsessed in their quickened pace of life; of Chinese, Malays, Indians and many more; of my loved ones and their smiles and laughters; of ... ... ...
After trying to register for my subjects online within the specific duration for us to do so to some disappointment (i didn't manage to get the slots i wanted!!! Grrr. no vancancy at all. What a system we have ard here!), Drey drove me over to do some last minute shopping (partly for me to use up some loose notes i have and for her to grab pandan leaves to eradicate cockroaches from her car), we went to UWA (University of Western Australia) where Audrey is currently studying in and where Australians covet to be in since it is the state university to pick maple leaves! Hohoho. SG dusen haf maple leaves and i thought it'll be good if i cud pick some back! =)
The lovely colours in UWA
We checked in my luggage together (which weighs 18-ish kgs) - i went with 1 bag of 6-ish kg and came back with another 12-ish kgs! Hahaaha. Thanks to drey who lent me her big big luggage bag, else i wud haf to buy another bag i reckon? And yes, before going thru the departure gate at approx. 3pm, we cam-whored together and i gave her a big big hug! Haaaa.
And standing in front of the depature gate was a couple hugging each other tightly. Deciding to follow suit, I gave drey another hug. But then the couple started kissing! And i turned to drey and smiled cheekily, "Let's do that too!" and she gave me a dunno-hw-to-describe (but was it a "lame-O"?) look. Haaaa! Too les for her. And for me. LOL. I'm so gonna miss her and Perth! The past week had been a super enjoyable one - and i'm glad she has been so hospitable and nice to take me out even though i knew she would really love to sleep in.

More about this lovely friend of mine...
She has a super natural ability! And she herself knows best. Heh. When she sleeps, she can totally ignore her surroundings! I remember several days when we had to wake up earlier and her alarm clock could ring for the longest time and she would still be soundly asleep... Tadah! Pro. Hees. For me, my super natural ability is that i talk in my sleep. HAAA! Imagine her telling me about our "conversation" the next day! Both of us laughed and laughed. And yes! I managed to steal a picture of her while she was sleeping. HAHA.
And yes, we will keep these lovely memories. Thanks for creating such wonderful memories for me! Am sure they will be deeply ingrained in me for many many more years to come. And be all the more convinced, cos this is the first time i flew in the air (I super love the taking off and landing parts, cos they're lyk roller coaster rides), and flying alone at that! I think i'm super brave, but my mummy says i'm mad and very naughty (I only told her i'm flying alone after i bought the air tickets). HAA. That's Jerica for you! =P
+++++++++++++
And i almost forgot to mention that the Australian Customs threw away the present i bought for Mr Rico Tan........ =((((((((((((((((( SO SAD!!! Cos it was sharp and they said could be a potential weapon and so they demanded for it to be thrown away.
OUCH.
Ok, anw, so i boarded the plane (after the disappointment), with much anticipation to touch down in SG as soon as possible! Hahahas. This time, i was pretty much familiar with how things wud be lyk, and i had planned what shows to watch - Mr Bean. And this time, i didn't doze off during the show (entirely) so i managed to continue on Mr Bean, 2 episodes of CSI, 10,000 BC (I fast-forwarded quite a fair share), listened to 2 CDs (Nelly Furtado and Fergie), gone to the toilet twice (i think), caught forty winks, etc etc etc.
From Perth Airport... 
Cam whoring on board. Hehs.
Oh yes, much as i was looking forward to the meal onboard, this time i was a little disappointed. It wasn't nice! Grrr. Some plain veggies and rice without any gravy (and when i say it sucks, it really does, cos i'm not a fussy eater and i dun usually complain). Oh! The chicken in oyster sauce was great though. Much like SG food. Haaa. Yummy yum yum! This time, they served cheese with crackers, but the Sling (ice cream) this time was not as good as the Magnum i enjoyed so much when i flew to Perth. Awww.
My Meal on Qantas QF71 back to Sing!
I caught the sunset in the skies yesterday! A pity i was sitting on the other side which was not facing the sun. Else I gather the sunset would have been much more splendid! Nevertheless, i saw the orange dimming and the darkness looming in, and the myriad of shades atop of the sky blue was simply love! Took some pictures, but nah, they didn't really capture the essence of the sunset itself. And when night fell, the stars were evident!!! How lovely. Very nice indeed. Too bad i was alone and had nobody to share my awe at that very moment. But well, i'm glad i did manage to catch those sights - no regrets! =)))
Sunset from the skies
Anw, actually i cud haf reached SG lyk 20 mins earlier? But when we were about 30 mins away, the plane circulated in the air (I had turned on the Flight Route, a feature in their Entertainment System which was lyk their GPS of sorts, cos i was plain bored after watching whatever i was interested in watching). And when we were reaching SG, about 10 mins away, the plane did a big round again. Probably to avoid some turbulence maybe? Heard that SG had rained in the afternoon or evening yesterday, so that cud be the reason. And so i was amazed with how to drive a plane! i want to fly a plane too! But too bad, i'm short sighted. haha.
A funny thing happened after i touched down! Went to get immigration clearance and after shopping at DFS, i proceeded to collect my luggage. Waited super patiently for my luggage to appear from the belts, but after 10 mins or so, i realised something was amiss; had i missed my luggage? Did they take away my luggage? All the funny thoughts came to me until i looked up at the signage and saw that i was waiting at the Emirates flight belt.
Goodness Gracious.
Haha! So how glad i was when i managed to get my luggage and go home sweet home! Hees. Whee hee hee. Muahahahs. Reached home at around 10-ish? And did my laundry, unpacking of souvenirs, etc... And tadah!!! These were my steals from Perth! hohoho. With almost 80% being Food Food and more food! LOL. And not to forget, my favourite shopping item of Shoes! Heee.
3 more pairs of shoes, many more food and many more clothes! Jerica is one happy gurl!
Am really glad for this holiday experience, and i am definitely glad to be home once again, and back on the grounds of SG! =))) With much night life and safe streets, I feel so home and at ease! The familiarity... But it's also good to travel abroad at times! Helps you become more independent yeah =P Hohoho!
With much loves!
Jerica =DDD
