Last week/end was pretty eventful, I received a surprise birthday! I was totally SURPRISED! even though I came in expressionless. It was probably because while I was walking in, I saw kim squatting behind the wall, "trying" to hide, although I'm not sure she was doing a great job... we had quite a stare (o_o) until everyone else jumped out and scared the bejeezus out of me.

I spent my actual birthday day working, then a very short KTV session with bro and Ed at HS. There are heaps of people at HS in the arvo! It's amazing! I've never seen so many sober people at HS before O_o. It's only $5 and hour from 4pm til 8pm.

Then I had dinner at Grand Palace and then... went to Burswood! Headed straight for the casino to try my birthday luck. After a good half hour to 45 minutes I doubled my earnings! And then Ed made me stop. Which I guess was a good idea. I was pretty hyped and eager to play on. We headed to the Carbon Bar for a drink, it's quite an amazing sports bar I might add. Bumped into Vincent and Hsian, then stayed on to wait for Caz Kim and YeeYang. We then decided to go to Spice Lounge.. but there was so many people lounging.. so we detoured on into [A]lure. It's a great atmosphere.. It's actually a lounge/ seafood/japanese restaurant. It's pretty laid back. Good for a cocktail or two. [A]lure wrapped up the night after we were joined by Mish Nol Fel and a guest appearance by Rog and Ling who brought me a cupcake!

That wraps up that week. I have a few photos floating on Facebook. But until I get some photos from those camwhore photographers, I can't upload anything.

On Wednesday, Ed and I decided to be tourists and go to Fremantle. What a way to go to Freo on a Wednesday when the MARKETS aren't open! Which doesn't totally suck cos the markets aren't that great anyway. Fremantle is quite nice, lots of landmark stuff. And the fact that it's just different compared to Perth which I'm quite sick of already.

We stopped by Gino's for coffee. I must say, ever since I learnt how to make REAL coffee, I've been dishing out critiques to all the coffees I drink..and this one was crap.


I hope this is some sort of famous Freo clock tower thing. It looked nice.

I saw this in a shop... I'm not sure if it's cool.. but it sure is... expressive?

We walked by Fremantle convict prison. I've been there before for Year 7 excursion. It's cool and freaky.. but you gotta pay to get in.. so we just took a picture and .. made our way to ... LUNCH!

Cicerellos, BEST fish'n'chips in Freo...?

We settled for Kailis instead. (We 'da bao' Cicerello's later)

We stopped by to check out the Little Creatures Brewery, but gave the beer a miss. Maybe another day eh?

By 4pm, we finally came to the well anticipated, Mole as it was called. Mole, can you imagine?! It's the usual fishing spot. Ed LOVES fishing.

We had to get really close to the water...it meant climbing rocks which was fun but dangerous. Now I understand why our parents wouldn't let us near the rocks when we were young..

Fishing was fun, cos I totally kicked ass! I caught one fishy fish. I'm definitely going back cos there's heaps of Whiting there. Have you tried it before? Deep fry it so it's crispy and its awesome with sambal dip. Unfortunately I got extremely cold and restless and stopped taking pictures, so there's not really any proof that I caught fish. But I'm almost certain Ed will tell you I DID catch fish. Right Ed?
