 On the 3rd day, a Saturday, we went to Fremantle, a port city where the Swan River meets the Indian Ocean, 30 minutes (via train) from Perth. It is famous for the divine beaches, best seafoods, historical prisons and cheaper souvenirs. 

 It's a quaint but very lively city.

 So we took the train from Perth Station. If you are travelling in pairs, it's cheaper to get the family rider fare where for a fee of $12 (about $6 per person), you can hop on and off the train, to any station within Transperth territory the whole day. 

 Travel tips: Go to Fremantle on the weekends for their weekend markets.

Take the Fremantle Line and get down at the last station. Once you exited the station, turn right towards the CAT bus station. Traveling around in Fremantle town is quite easy as they have free CAT bus.

You can hop on and off any of the destinations along the route. Remember to grab a map which is readily available at the train station.

 Our first stop was the Fremantle Market. Wherever you travel, visiting their markets is always a nice thing to do to see their local products/culture/food.

I go crazy in this crystal stall. The crystals are sold at $4-$5 each.
Our next stop was the South Beach. We got there around noon so it was scorching hot. We ended up sitting under the tree and people watch.

Cik Panda tak paham mat salleh ni, tengah hari buta berjemur bawah matahari.
The sand was super HOT! fefeeling kan berjalan kaki ayam di pantai. Melecur kaki weols. Look at that amazing clear aquamarine water.

Tips: Don't walk barefooted on the beach at noon.

Next stop was The Round House which originally was a prison. 
Their first prisoner was in fact a woman name Mary Cook.

Just a walking distance from The Round House is the pier where we stop for lunch. Seafood at Cicerello's is a must whenever you visit Fremantle.

Grilled squids was a bit bitter but overall it's a great meal.
As much as I love chips, by day 4, I'm getting tired of having chips at most of my meal. Dengg...

After lunch, we walked over to E-Shed market where you can find cheap souvenirs (cheaper than you buy in Perth it is). So there is this shop, Megabest mained by a Singaporean Uncle. Most of the souvenirs are cheaper but the options are quite limited though. 

We had coffee and cakes while waiting for the day to be a bit cooler for us to go the beach again.

Took the train again, got down at South Fremantle and walked a little bit to Leighton Beach. This beach is less crowded compared to South Beach. I can't tell you how beautiful their beaches are. The sands are so soft and white and the water is so aquamarinely clear.

Leighton Beach is a dog friendly beach
It was still quite sunny and hot so we decided to wait until almost sunset for a swim. BIG MISTAKE. By the time it's almost sunset, the water is freezing COLD!

Amazing sight to behold. There's the sunset on one side and there's the storm brewing on the other side
We leave for Fremantle before it starts to rain and back to the city!

On my next visit, I think I'll stay in Fremantle for the beautiful beaches and the laidback city.

Porn Puaka Di Gym

Tajuk mengundang kontroversi Sis ni bukan apa rajin pergi gym, selain nak bersenam, iols juga suka mencuci mata. Bukan setakat mencuci mata dengan jantan helok (I'm still hoping sebab gym iols pegi tu SENDUU), sis juga suka melihat gegadis yang fefeeling gedik dengan bermacam fesyen di gym tu. Biasanya gegadis newbie ni macam cendawan. Muncul sekejap di kala azam baru masih utuh yakni di awal tahun atau selepas perayaan di mana memasing nak kurus.  Tunggulah 2 bulan kemudian langsung tak nampak batang hidung ataupun buttcheeks. Eh?

Butt cheeks are absolutely NO NO except at the pool or beach when you are in your swimsuit.  Cik Panda tak jealous la uols sebab Cik Panda tak hingin pun nak ada bontot yang jelly welly tu.

Manusia Dua Alam

  Pernah jumpa tak manusia yang indah khabar dari rupa? Ataupun manusia yang dalam sosial media adalah seseorang yang sangat menarik hidupnya, melancong sana sini, kelihatan peramah dengan cerita-cerita pasal orang sekeliling dia tapi dalam kehidupan sebenar, agak sendu dan krik krik? Pernah kan? Inilah manusia dua alam dimana alam maya dan alam realiti dia berbeza umpama langit dan bumi. Ada seorang manusia ni, kita namakan dia XX (bukan nama sebenar). XX ni sering update cerita panjang lebar dalam sosial media dia. Satu gambar dia upload selalu disertakan dengan karangan 2 mukasurat.  Ada sekali dia upload gambar makanan yang diberikan rakan sekerja dia. Mulalah karangan 2 muka surat dia menceritakan mak si anu masak makanan lebih sikit untuk dia, si polan pun bagi makanan. Betapa murahnya rezeki dia dan bertuah dikelilingi kawan-kawan yang baik dan thoughtful. Wahhh kemain. Tapi dalam alam realiti, dia manusia berperangai pelik dan tidak boleh difahami. K...

Inferno Panic

Last night, Joel, Anne and i was chatting in the house when we smell something burning. We looked everywhere for the source of the smell until i saw smoke coming out of the main switchboard.  First it was only smoke, then little flame. Before long, the fire got bigger! Smoke fill the house and it smell of burning plastic and rubber. We panic and run out of the house. Knocked on neighbour's door to ask if they have fire extinguisher while Anne and I trying to think who to call for help. We wanted to call bomba but didn't know the number! In that moment of panic, we forgot that it's 999. So we call friends asking for bomba's number. Anne called her friend and the first thing her friend said "Anne! Save your laptop and your thesis!"  Only post-grad students understand this. Thesis and our research is more valuable than your IC or money or thousand dollar phone because only we know how difficult, how important our thesis is. Its a lifetime effort and hard...

Amazing Swimming Pools

I am a Pisces and "pisces" in Latin means fish. Pisces love to swim. So that explains my strong affinity for water. Just like a fish, i find water to be calming and soothing. Recently i've began to swim regularly after so long. Not only it is a good exercise, it releases stress and is extremely calming. I've read somewhere that water is a good medium to buffer and absorb all your negative energy and emotions. Two in one eh? I've developed obsession over swimming pools recently. Why i always seems to have obsession lately is beyond me. The nicest pool i've been to so far was this pool with an amazing view of Petronas Twin Tower. Perfect for a night swim as it was quiet and the pool is heated. Macam infinity pool tapi tidak juga.   Infinity pools are the nicest! Jom cuci mata sambil berangan ada pool macam ni... Ooh that's super nice. Perfect for a night swim. This is a pool in Bali. So calming. Next trip perhaps? ...
