Journey With Deb

Excitement was beyond me as the holiday mood preceded the actual day we took off. Work kept me at bay, but the morning of the 15th finally arrived and I was allowed to spring into full blown excitement! A month before this, Terence and I had meticulously drawn out a power packed itinerary. While I [...]

We were headed north to Yanchep National Park. I’ve heard loads about it even during my studies (about how the wild flowers bloomed during the season) and this my chance to see it for myself. It’s odd how they segregate national parks in Australia. Where are the exact boundaries? How in the world could animals [...]

The morning opened to peaceful stillness and gentle stream of sun lighting the room. I’m under the snuggled under plush blankets and laying on my feather pillow. This is what I call a holiday! Alright get my booties up and be ready to get soiled. Walk down the farm and meet the hungry llamas, sheep, [...]

Rotto that’s what the Aussies call it – Rottnest Island to be specific. Again it has been brought to my attention a million times but I have not visited the place! Until now… The weather was perfect for a day out on an island. The girls (Chi Yenn, Hazel and I) were going to picnic [...]

Stifling my expectations from sky rocketing, we arrived at the Dolphin Discovery Center nice and early in hope to catch some. I didn’t want to expect, lest I be disappointed with none. As the morning ticked away, we were ushered into a hut that opened up to a bay. The centers’ volunteers patiently waited for [...]

Unraveling the morning with a stroll along the Blackwood River, the town still asleep but nature was at full bloom. I almost felt as if I was intruding the tranquility of the river. After soaking in the morning hours, there awaiting us was Jewel Cave, just off Augusta. I’ve explored a few caves but never [...]

4 ½ hours back to Perth. 13 road kills throughout our road journey. Having seen, oceans, bays, forests, cave, deserts, barren land, farms and man made marvels, it was time to get on a plane – Malaysia bound. What an incredible holiday it has been… Now it makes me even more eager to hop on [...]

Seven days in Bangkok is more than enough to roam the city. The sounds of traffic, roaring of buses and taxis, tuk tuk’s weaving in and out, people, people and more people everywhere and not mention the inability to scout out flat grounds since 360 degrees are sky scrapers! I’m almost relieved to be back [...]

Day Three: Last breakfast at Chinatown before we headed to Grand President! Arrived at the hotel and was elated at the suite! It was a stark difference from the previous one. We then went down south of the city to the Chao Phraya riverside. Since Oriental Hotel has been given much reviews about it’s ambiance [...]

Day Five: Parents were to leave in the afternoon. We hung around in the hotel, walked the streets, had breakfast in the hotel and bid my parents farewell. “Please make sure all 3 of you stay together” “Don’t venture on your own ah…Debbie”… (I sense my parents are quite worried over my over ambitious nature [...]
