Today & Fremantle

Today I woke up later than planned. Was suppose to go over and meet my secondary instructor to find out if I can get airborne. Appearently the lead caded that's suppose to handle this issue might not like me cause I keep calling him Bob after he'd dismissed that it is not his name :P Well, its kindda funny cause this 'Ang Moh' instructor actually called him Bob simply because his chinese name is too mouthful for them. Think I'll stop calling him Bob from now on.

Ok, as promised, I shall recall my trip to Fremantle. I've not explored the whole place just yet. But for now, when I think of Fush and Chups that's the place I'll go. There's few to choose from (Cirerello's, Kaili's, Joes) but overall I would recommend value, quality and ambience at Cicerello's. Its quite a holiday mood place with people sunbathing on their boat and the crowd there and just to walk along the old colonial buildings (wait! Aussie was never colonized so that might not be the correct term to use.. gotta.. get.. myself... out... of.. this... stereo... typing...).

What I'm saying, the architectural there is mighty fine and it brings you back in time. There's also a flea market where people sell fruits, vegetables, handicraft, foods, kites, kangaroo scrotum, tattoo palor (non permanent), paintings etc. Oh, yes. They sell kangaroo scrotum as a souvenier. Creative Aussies! Ok ok, I'm just pulling your leg. What it actually is: its a leather coin pouch but it's really made of kangaroo's balls.. ouch! I hope they don't do that when its alive! Arrghh... the though of it made me have goosebumps.
Out near the flea market, there's a guy basking and catching attentions people. His performance range from skits to juggling to making fun of people he'd just pulled into his performance. Hope go just go there one day when he's performing and see what's its all about..

Its only half an hour drive there which is about the same duration as the drive from Jandakot (YPJT) to city. The town has the rustic look, with railway crossing that you can't miss, marketplace and eating place (I wouldn't call it restaurant) that's overlooking the jetty. Water from the Indian Ocean is crystal clear; so clear that you could actually see small tiny cute little jelly fish swimming in it. But once you get big jelly fish sting in your legs you might just change your mind about it being cute though.. touch wood, for me they're still cute.

Not much photos here cause the other day I brought my camera along.. with spare batteries. But little did I know, I forgot to reinsert my memory card cause I left it in my laptop for downloading the night before! Very clever of me. So, here I am, with my camera but unable to snap away. Luckily my handphone can actually take photos but the quality is not up to mark. Nick bought his as well so we tookthis group photo using his camera instead. Next trip, might try to look what's interesting at Maritime Museum there and try the rest of Fush & Chups place.
