Singapore Shopping

Okay, so shopping on Orchard Road in Singapore had to be one of my favourite activities in Sinapore   I come from Perth “city” where the shopping experiences are okay, full of franchises, and very repetitive – you will generally see the same stores all throughout the metro area. Orchard Road in Singapore was full of variety, and the malls were big, dry, and airconditioned. Now I can manage the heat in Singapore (I experience much hotter in summer in Perth), but I cannot cope with the humidity – dizziness and headaches even while gulping down water. Thank goodness for the aircon. The shops also kept us dry from all the torrential thunderstorms that happened almost every day of our stay (I enjoy thunderstorms so that was quite fun!).

Books, clothes, accessories, fun stuff, computer and console games (kept the partner happy )…Ahhh it was great fun

King’s Park

King’s Park has to be one of my favourite places in Perth. It has been such a sunny day today (even in the middle of winter!) that I was dreaming I driving up there. Sadly I am stuck at home doing my thesis. But I did have all these photos I took in November last year that I never shared, so I thought today would be the perfect day for it. Thanks to Wikipedia I just learnt that King’s Park is the “largest inner city park in the world” and is larger than New York’s Central Park. It truly is gorgeous sunning yourself on the hill there while looking over Perth.

Hope you enjoy the photos!

Thursday Travel Inspiration: Venice

Ahh Venezia! One of the most magical looking places in the world. Definitely on my must-see list when the BF and I travel to Europe I want to get off the main stretches of tourists (is there such a place in Venice?!) and see the hidden crazy streets and canals. The gondola rides look a tad too expensive, but I am not fussed about that anyway. I am just fascinated with the way it was constructed, it’s history, the culture (also constructed for tourists?) and the romance of it all.

Until the next post…

Ciao Bellas!

Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do

I’m half crazy, all for the love of you

It won’t be a stylish marriage

I can’t afford a carriage

But you’ll look sweet on the seat

Of a bicycle built for two!

My Nanna seems to always sing this whenever she sees daisies…so the first two lines always pops in my head too whenever I see them now! More daisies for my welcome to summer – and a reminder of summer for those of you in the north of the world . Until January 4th I’ll have the wordpress snow on my pages, so it is quite interesting to see snow falling over my daisies!

Start of Summer: New Website Header

Three more sleeps until the start of summer!

To celebrate, I changed my website header to a photo I took today (well, technically yesterday now, on Saturday) of these gorgeous daisies in the afternoon sun. Don’t they just make you feel summer rushing through your veins? Below is an alternative, but I think I like the colour and the out of focus nature of the one I chose (good for a header).
