What did we buy in Perth?

Day 6 (12 June 2012) -We woke up as early as 2:00am to freshen ourselves and get all things ready as the airport service shuttle are coming to pick us up around 3:00am. We booked the Perth Connect bus via online from Malaysia, and only paid for their service to the driver incharged on the day they fetched us. Charges is AUD48 for our family (3 adults, 2 child).

Arrived at Perth International Airport around 4am, the kids were wide awake except Ammar, who was still deep in slumber (tgh mimpikan kangaroo kots hehe). I pre-booked 35kg luggage before our departure to Perth, and last night while doing the packing we estimated that there will be at least 15kg excess luggage that we need to pay in extra. Nak buat camner kan...damage done already, so kena pasrah jela with the excess. Time check in, wallet dah prepare utk bayar the excess luggage, and we were kind of worried when seeing Aini and her mom busy taking out few things from their luggage in front of the check-in counter...haaa ni mesti kes excess jugak nih! hehe

Our turn came, hubby shoved off our passport and the boarding pass, then the lady asked us to put our luggage on the trolley...after 2 bags the scale showed 35kg on the dot....and we have another 2 bags left unweighed! Jeng jeng jeng!!! Then she instructed to put the rest of our luggage...satu persatu kami letak, and i just couldn't stop staring at hubby when we looked at the weighing scale. Excess almost 15kg exactly as what we expected! Senyum sajelah...then dia mintak kami angkat Ammar since stroller has to be checked in as well. Dia point out satu free stroller dekat airport utk kami ganti letakkan ammar yg tgh syiok tidur tuh. Then stroller pon jatuh masuk ke dlm lorong trolley tuh. Then dia pon ckp..ok that's it...thank you. So i was like....ehhhhh dia tak suruh bayar pon the excess??? macam terpaku seketika..minah ni tak perasan ke, atau sengaja buat2 tak perasan eh? Memang rezeki kami betul lah hari tuh...kami pon berlalu dgn hati yg riang...syukurrrrrrrr!

Since we still have ample time before boarding into the departure gate, sempatlah makan pie dan roti2 yg dibawah dr apartment. Early breakfast habis hehe. Then masuk departure gate around 530am kots and get ready for Subuh prayer.

Finally si kecik ni sudah bangun! Si abang2 segar bugar even tho still early in the morning.

Cadbury Favourites tu beli dekat Big W..AUD5 sajerr sbb tgh promo. Normal price dlm AUD8-9 tak silap. Disebabkan kotak tu bulky, malas nk beli bebyk...tp bila balik Mesia..rasa menyesal plak iskkk.  The rest of the chocolates tu beli dekat Margaret River Choc Factory. takleh beli byk sbb mahal amat! Yg kotak hitam tu hazelnut bar, rasa mmg sedap lagi terangkat! AUD6.95/bar. Yg kotak merah orange tu milk choc pastilles...AUD4.95/box. Ada perisa milk choc, dark choc & white choc. Ni lah pastilles yg anak2 kami duk repeat amik berulang kali sebab free kuikui! Tak dinafikan, pastilles ni pon sgt sedap...very the milky gitu.

Ni antara benda yg paling berbaloi-baloi yg berjaya kami beli. Bought at Nike outlet in HT. AUD25! This one for Ammar...tp ammar takleh pakai lg sebab besar...tp harus beli jugaklah sbb murah kan hihi

The red one for Firas! dekat HT takde jumpa size dan design yg cun utk Firas...akhirnya yg ni beli dekat Foot Locker dekat Hay/Murray St area...AUD30.

Ni utk si abang long. Kasut paling mahal yg kami beli AUD50. Beli dekat HT jugak.

Kekanak dah ade kasut baru, mama pon harus ade jugak kan hehe. This is Nine West, beli dekat HT. Price tag tulis AUD49, tp time nak bayar dia ckp ade another 30% discount...mujur tak pengsan bila dengar! :p Kalau tak memikirkan excess luggage, harus mama tangkap barang 2-3 pairs lagik kuikui

 

Inilah yg dicari-cari sedari hari kedua kami di sana...dan akhirnya ketemu jua di hari terakhir kami berada di bumi Perth! Kata org kalau dah rezeki tu tak ke mana ye tak. Cuisinart Belgian 4-slice waffle maker. AUD85. Nek umi pon beli seketul utk dia :) Apparently tadi timbang berat ai dah naik sekilo...i bet sbb duk asyik makan waffle for the past few weeks kots arghhhhhhhhh

Hah ni satu lagi benda yg tersgtlah value buy yg berjaya dibeli kat sana. Corelle Simple Lines 16pcs square set. Beli dekat Big W Joondalup Lakeside. Time surf dekat mesia rege AUD87.50...tp bila sampai sana derang tgh wat sales...jadikla AUD65.25 sajerrr...sila jgn jeles :p Yang round set cuma AUD41.25...gilers kannn. Mujurla saya masih waras lg time tgk price tag tu kalo tidak hubby mesti muncung kalo kena carry byk2 kotak hehe

Ade beli jugak 4pcs loose dining plate (AUD6.44/pc) + 1 oblong bakesware (AUD19.38). Dekat Big W Belmont dah takde oblong bakesware tu..i guess sold out kots.

Overall review on Perth:

Sgt2 best, highly recommended! Nice ppl, nice weather, efficient transportation, cheap corelle (haha), byk scenic places that u can go (especially on the down south of western australia which we did not cover due to time constraint and distance). Perth is truly a laid back city, ppl walking here n there in slow pace, less traffic in the city center that u dont see ppl honking into each other atau menjerit marah2. Org perth ni sgt baik, very good manner dan tersgtlah polite, they dont treat u like a complete stranger or stare at u as if u're someone dr planet marikh ke ape...kesimpulannya u can feel the sense of belonging dekat bumi Perth ni ewahh cam over plak bunyi nya. In fact Deman siap terpk nak migrate ke Perth haha....so trust me it's all worth every penny, time n energy spent if u visit this place. konfem tak menyesal! We really really did a lot of walking throughout our trip, that's how u can actually appreciate the surroundings and explore every single thing that Perth has to offer to u. Kalau naik bas, takleh la nak tangkap gambar dekat patung2 tepi jln tu ye tak :p Pastu takleh la nak feeling2 jln dengan baju tebal siap dgn gloves bagai macam kat obersea tu hehe. 

So that's all about Perth. Harap tak bosan la korang baca. Sape nak kitab Perth, nnt bley roger saya okeh :)
