2007 Perth Royal Show

Once a year, Perth holds the Perth Royal Show at Claremont showgrounds. This year we were lucky to get free tickets. It was less hectic as we went on the last day..... EXCELLENT! I don't like big crowds.

The prices of the entry fee and rides have soared!!!! Last time I remembered was AUS$13 for entry fee plus train ride..... now it's like AUS$23. Rides used to be about AUS$5 max....now it's AUS$10. Can u just imagine the prices of showbags? Poor parents buying showbags for their children....it must have cost them a fortune! It's unbelievable there are still so many people going to the Royal Show. Anyway, it's fun and exciting!!!! (not so for your bank account though....hehehehehe.... ;))

Here is a general view of the Perth Royal Show. (i.e.: crowd, rides, games, side show alley, etc.)


This is just me attempting to perfect my skill of taking my own reflection just like my babe. Hehehehehehhehehe!!!!


Michael and I were fascinated with the olden day machinery.


This is us giving our legs a rest before we continue exploring the rest of the Perth Royal show. The sitting hammock was really comfortable....however, I had trouble trying to get my legs onto the suspending leg rest.


We stopped by the cattle and goats section. It was interesting to learn about the various species. However, we didn't smell very attractive after visiting them. Hahahahahaha!!!!


The cat section just took my heart away!!!! Aren't they just adorable??!! Have a look at some of them and their creatively decorated cages.


This is the cake show/ display. It's amazing how detailed the decorations are! Believe or not it's all done by hand by confectionery artist.


This year we missed the night fireworks...... maybe next time.

Happy Birthday to my dearest Daddy!!!! (Sept 2007)

My dad came in for the weekend to celebrate his birthday. It also acts as a house warming party too! Nice timing!!!! These are the people that came to our new place: Jeff and Jan (dad's golf buddy & wife); Yolly & Darrell (neighbours); Allen & Myrtle (neighbours); and Auntie Margaret & family (Uncle Ramon, Kristos & Sar Ko Po).

My mum prepared a delicious steamboat. There was so much to eat and drink!

For dessert, we had to wait till we sang my dad's birthday song and blow out his candles on his ice cream birthday cake. Baskin Robins is really good at making them..... we even had 2 flavours in the ice cream cake. (Rum & raisin and Cookies & cream) Yummy!!!!


This is us at the kitchen attempting to cut the rock hard ice cream cake which has been in the freezer for a while. I was actually stabbing the cake.....hehehehehehe.... ;)



For some entertainment, Kristos did his Taekwando demonstration. He was qualified to represent the state for his age level. It's that great! You should see his focus, movements and flexibility. Impressive!!!! Auntie Margaret and Uncle Ramon are very proud of his achievements.

All of us had a great time together.....old and young. Once again, Happy Birthday Daddy!!!!
