Chicks!!

We've got 3 chicks from the market today. Think its "Isa Brown" or something brown...couldn't catch what the seller was saying. The seller said the earliest time when they will start laying eggs is around Christmas time. We went to the nearest pet store and bought some chick start....hopefully 5Kg will be enough to last them for the 1st 3 weeks.

Craig setup them up in a foam box and put a light in it to provide heat for the chicks. Later when they are much bigger, we'll get them running in the garden. That means we have to make a chook pen....hmmm seems like a men's job to me. The chicks seems to like their new home, exploring every corner of it.

Hungry chicks happily pecking their food.

WA Guide Dog Open House

I had never been to such event before so this will be quite an eye opener for me.
The Guide dogs are not supported by the WA government, so any donation will be good.

There are events for the young and old throughout the entire day. We went after lunch time and were just in time for the guide dog training demostration. After which, we attended a talk conducted by one of the guide dogs trainer. There are so much that I didn't know about guide dogs.....

Obedience training demo

Lab pups....

Volunteers....

 Guess how many hotdogs did Craig has......?

Large Sunflowers

Out of all the sunflowers I had grown, this one had turned out to be growing the best...It has more than one flower bud and its still blooming....absolutely stunning!

Perth RedBull Air Show 08

This is the 1st time I had been to a Redbull Air Show and I'm quite impressed by it. Its bloody warm though. Its very exciting to have the planes flew over above you.

Be sure to head out early if you want to go for the show next year because parking is quite a headache.

Perth Royal Show 08

This is my absolute favourite event of the year. It's a fantastic show at Clarmont showground which last for a week. There's plenty to keep you busy the entire day, ranging from animal shows and judging (my favourite is the sheepdog demostration), there's display of cakes deco (depending on the theme), transportation display, free food tasting, horse riding demostration and not to forget shopping for showbags!!!
When the sun sets, get yourself a good spot and watch the amazing fireworks which last about 15mins and there's still time to go around on the fun rides and games stalls! What a fantastic day!

tickets cost $25 at door, you can get it cheaper from IGA or RAC (if you are a member).

Western Australia - Tulip Araluen Park

Spring's here....and the tulips are blooming. Enterance fee $10.

Skydiving!

It's my birthday and I had decided to go something dangerous and pump with adrenaline for my last 2x birthday. Since I refuse to do bungy jumping, the next closest I can think of is skydiving.

unfortunately, its all weather dependant for this sport and today aint the brightest and sunniest day you can find in winter. We just have to go and give it a try.

There is a lot of preparation work to do before hand. Because I am doing a tandem(meaning the guy who knows it all will jump off the plane "carrying" you), the instructor had to show me what are my "tasks", like lifting up my legs when we land and having a banana shape after we jump off the plane. We had to practice that for a few times to get familar. Next is to put on the gear....not the most stylish wear you can get.

The photos from here onwards required an additional fee of hundred ++ (can't remember). Because i'm getting it all capture in DVD, I get an additional person to go into the plane and all she does is to have a great time and take pictures and videos of me. How cool is such job???

Looking out of the plane

getting ready to jump out of the plane

the best part i reckon is the free falling, which only last about 7-10secs, trust me....it feels like my face is being massage by 10000hands!!!!

Thumbs up!!! .............................. Great landing!

How can we forget about Craig. He's taking his lessons on how to jump.

That's Craig landing, see how dark the sky is.

And yes, i'm a happy birthday girl :)

Start Every Day Knowing That You Are Blessed

As the Sun's 1st rays hit the ground you rested
As the little birds greet you with their chirps
May your day starts perfectly with blessing
When you slowly flutter your lazy eyes open

As you get dressed for the day
As your little tummy rumbled unhappily
May you received a delicious breakfast
When you walked into your selected eatery

While you wonder around into the day
While you ponder how to make your day
May it bring a smile to your beautiful face
When you know you are in the thoughts of an Angel down under

As the Sun says goodbye to you and the Night falls
As you wear out those strong feet and witty brains of yours
May you rest well in bed and have lovely sweet dreams
When you know an Angel down under send you a goodnight kiss


~ End Every Day Knowing You Have Lived The Best ~
