This trip was a sudden planning. I never foreseen myself to travel that far as my target is to move along South-East-Asia before I proceed to any western country. (During 2005, Australia haven’t declare them-self as part of Asia)

It was my mum idea which suggest me to go around Australia and have some experience with breeding horses as I always stick with the Trainers and Owners from the Turf Club to gain more knowledge in horsing industry.

My destination for this trip is Perth, Australia. I am looking forward for this trip as it will be a journey to explore things outside Malaysia. As usual, Ms Kam will be following me after a long and patience persuade to her and her mum. We will be departing once we finish our final exam on September 2005.

We manage to get our air tickets from SIA with a super cheap price during MATTA fair. It only cost RM2,800 return tickets for TWO~!! We started to have lots of planning as we will be going there alone~! Or I should be saying only TWO PENANG KIA going by themselves huh? wuahaha~

Once we touched down in Perth, there was someone to pick us up from airport and drive us to Mr. Jeremy Smith’s place. Thanks to the wide networking from Madam Lim. We got the free rides.

We actually spent most of our time in breeding farm to learn most of the daily work for breeding good horses and during the weekends, we went out to the city by our own. We rent a bag packers Hotel – Grand Hotel near to Wellingston Street. It only cost AUD$16 per night. During our third weeks in Perth, we went to Burstwood Hotel to enjoy the luxury stay and travel to Freementle and Swan River Valley. I do have a little small fight with Ms Kam when we visit the zoo because of the plastic Dinosaur. (yaya..!! I know it’s kind of childish)

I discovered some weird things during my exploration in the city. I realised that the people over the street will look at us when we are taking the photos by ourselves. For the example, the below photo is the photo we took it with the auto-captured features by the camera itself and I saw a bunch of people just stop walking and look at us.

Well, I guess at that time maybe we are stepping on something weird? Who knows? HoHo

It was an awesome trip after all and Ms Kam even cried so sadly when the day we have to leave Perth.

Great trip? Yeah~! At least I makes more friend over there. Thanks Jeremy and Miles Anderson. Of course to my Dearest Mum.
