This post will conclude the days i spent in Perth. Of the seven days i spent in Perth, this is the day that something struck me more deeply than anything else during my days in Perth. Will relate why as you read on.
Like to give thanks again to Dy for ferrying and accompanying me around for the whole day. =) Dy had been most accomodating during the period of stay.
Began the day with a simple lunch of fish and chips with Dy and guys. Noted that the locals really like their chips well salted. Or maybe it's just coincidental that all the chips i had were well salted. Haha, really have no idea...
Went back to Perth City for some shopping. Looked for some stuff to bring back home. Did a bit of gocery shopping with Dy as well. Haha, don't get it wrong - i didn't fly any gocery back to Singapore. It's just along the way, so Dy bought some daily necessities. Guess supermarkets are a proven and established concept. Haha, they all looked the same! =)
Anyway, the main part of the day wasn't spent in Perth City but in our next destination, Sunset Coast! Dropped off at Hillary Harbour for a cool ice-blended fruit drink. Seems that the fruity ice drink is getting a real warm response from the locals. Maybe you have guess it by now, the drink ain't the main star but the SUNSET that i going to witness and shoot at !
It's Sunset Coast and it lived up to its reputation! You can really get an excellent sunset view from the various lookouts along the beach. Though i didn't get a big red yolk (as it was fairly cloudy) but the view was still just as breathtaking! =) Haha, you should have heard the way Fe was exclaiming about the sunset when Dy showed it to Fe through their mobile. Good gracious but Fe was really excited. Btw, Fe, thanks for the dinner you cooked if you happened to read this! Trust me, your cooking isn't all that bad. =>
After that, it's dinner time. Slacked for a while and it was really for quite a while. It was around 1 a.m. or so before we got active. Made a trip down to Burswood Casino. It's the first time i've been into a casino. You can say, curiousity got the better of me. Just had to take a look how it looks like. Within the casino, it was a big contrast to the quiet outside surroundings. It was bright, vivid and lively.
Just as we left, i happened to spot an old couple, likely to be in their late sixties or early seventies. Nothing uncommon you might say. What really struck me was that they were withdrawing cash from the atm located near the entrance of the casino. How it made my heart ached... Sigh... Maybe you can empathise what i felt at the moment?
