Pictures are finally loaded. ^^

Have not been blogging since I came back from Albany. Didnt really feel like it. Anyway, going to try to fill in the gap as much as I can.

On the third day of my solo trip, the weather was turning bad. The lucky thing was that I was able to get to the few places of attraction in Albany before it turned really bad. Was at the Albany windfarm. I think its a cool place to put the wind farm cause the wind was really strong there but what I think was a even cooler place was that the prison was beside the windfarm. Convicts being there are constantly jia-honging given that the wind is so strong.

I was kinda disappointed that I couldnt go to the Stirling Range as it was the highlight of my trip. Oh well. Nothing I can do about the forces of nature no matter how much planning I do. So I decided to drive home through the night.
I think driving at night on a stormy evening is quite an experience. Its hard enough driving at night in the country, with the tough weather it becomes a a form of cheap thrill to get the adrenaline flowing. It quite irritating when pple do not off their high-beam when they are driving pass you. When the high-beam hits your eyes, you get blinded for that spilt second. Now I know why they say driving with the high-beam on causes accidents.

The next day I was rather edgy, I wanted to go do some trekking but the weather says otherwise. She says:"Drink and get drunk in the city, stay out of the country." Oh well. Talking about that, I have been going to this beer boutique. Its a belgium cafe on Murray street. They say wine is to france, drugs to holland, porn to japan and beer to belgium. And so I have been drinking quite a few nice exclusive beers there. So far I have tried 8 types another 20 more to go. And almost every beer comes with a unique glass and coaster. Its so nice that Shps have been collecting them. For me, I am just satisfied collecting the taste and enjoying the ambience.

Been reading quite a fair bit recently. My gendre of books are mostly non-fiction and self-improvement. I dun really like fiction cause they cloud my judgement. Reading the satanic book is enough for me to have second thoughts about the existance of jesus. Enough that I have a place in hell, now I am going to be there for a while. =P

I think I am such a muggle-head. I thought Shps's birthday was on the 29 Jul but it turned out that it was on the 29 Jun. Oh well, so I asked her to pick a place in Lonely Planet Western Australia where she wants to go and looks not bad. She picked Mussel bar. I think it decent that in the 3 years in Perth we have not celebrated Shps's birthday with her. This time although I missed it. I want to make it up. ^^

Mussel bar is a nice and posh place. The food is good. The service is excellent. The view is not too shabby. I think its a nice place to celebrate V'day. Oh well, what am I doing there with Shps? HAHAHAHA.

After that we headed to Westende Belgium Beer cafe. Been going there pretty often nowadays. Its like my favourite chill out place now. Anyway, shps ordered a Kwak. This is what it says on the tasting notes: "It will cost you a shoe. This fine brew was created in 1971 by Mr pauwl Kwak...... blah blah blah". When they said shoe. I thought they meant figuratively. They actually took a shoe from all the customers who ordered this beer. Unique eh. Hahahaha. After that it was home to finish up my Penfolds Bin 28 Kalimia Shiraz. Its really good shit. I think it will cost like 100 bucks in pubs in singapore if they do carry it. Its like 30+ here.

Still considering if I should go to Adelaide. There is only a few days left before I have to make an important decision. Oh well. =.=''

Been chatting alot with J nowadays. I think its kinda good. She is pretty optimistic. By that I meant that she is pretty and optimistic. Hahaha. Anyway, her positivity on relationships have rubbed off me slightly. Either that or the books on self-improvement do work. ^ ^
