Perth visitor diary II - Wui Chien

Wui Chien - a dear sister I had all the privilege of knowing while in Adelaide & Melbourne March this year.


She showed Rowas & I the best of Melbourne, picking us up most mornings for delicious breakfast. Her parallel parking skill is up right there with Lydia's from Hope BP. They are two of my Asian driving heroines :)


An Architect by trade, Wui Chien topped over Perth on her way to Singapore.



In Perth, Wui Chien wowed over the much hyped 'Snow Flake Rotate'!!


Friday morning Shrils, Truc, Rowas & I drove to Hillary for breakfast. We then went to Whiteman Park and Swan Valley in the afternoon before Regen at 7:30pm.

Aahahah!! Funny poster found at the Print Shop in Whiteman Park!

Sanford Winery - lunch:

Duck 3 ways

Kangaroo steak

Barramundi fillet

Salmon steak

After lunch, I took some free lollies from the counter and distributed them to each sister. Moments later we took this photo and Shirls' caught sucking the lollie... I felt really bad because she's quite upset about the photo... Aww... I laughed so hard I'm still laughing now... Sorry Shirls :S

MR Chocolate Factory - coffee break:

LOL!! We tried to make it up to Shirls by giving her bad photos of us.

On Mother's Day, we rolled sushi at the Little's :) Wui Chien went overly ambitious had a Japanese rice 'kebab' instead :P

Missed out this dinner because of an assignment. Apparently Wui Chien had a very memorable time :)

See you in Singapore in 4 weeks time jie mei!

...
And severe weather it did.
...

The rain poured heavily from the sky this afternoon. One minute I was in the car, the next minute tree branches were everywhere.

Cars were avoiding fallen debris, dashing pedestrians as well as each other. Matilda Bay was a scene of chaos.


Up blown umbrellas, catching fallen rain.


Two tree branches fell on top of Vy's car, thank God no damage resulted. The loud 'bang' as tree branches hit the car roof resonates in my head still.


Puddles of muddy rain water collected in every corner.


When the rain subsided, I ventured out from my sheltering spot and walked along Matilda Bay. This swan seemed least of all affected by the storm just minutes ago. It happily splashed about in the river, without a care in the world.

Grey sky with a touch a purple. So beautiful that I must capture it and keep for ever.


After a heavy rain, everything seemed fresher. Truly enjoying the calm after the storm.

While on the other side of perth:

Yorkie: The wind made his window go "Whaaahooo".
Adrian: Massive tree branch in bush court crashed down.
Truc: Branches fell on cars. Got really excited.
Rowena: In Mandurah, being entertained by someone from her office.
Lilian: Heard the storm even being on level 37. Felt sorry for the birds which had no where to hide as they fly. Thought the wings were going to break. Thanked God for bringing her lunch today.
Caleb: Had a leaking office. Wished that the power would go out in his office because that would've been fun.
Yorkie: Thinks Caleb's office is shabby. Imagined pots and buckets everywhere in Caleb's office.
Selina: Office had a blackout. Caleb's wish came true but not for him.

...

And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm.
Luke 8:24
