Guppies Gone Down Under!

Return to Aussieland with Porkchop :P

Yeah , it was time. Time to go back, back to where my adventures with porkchop began, back to the good old uni days when all we had to do was go to uni..sit in on tutorials and never have to worry about work, jobs , bills etc etc.
We both took 10 days off work , and i managed to find us some el cheapo tix on Budget airline - tiger airways to Perth ! Hahaha will let the pics do the talking
We arrived early at the budget terminal ...heres porkchop with our lil suitcases ..round about 15 mins into the queue to check in I suddenly realised I HAD FORGOTTEN TO APPLY FOR MY ETA Visa! - bloody australia needed a visa to enter! aaargh! with just 30 mins to boarding time,..i scrambled to call the whole world to help me apply for visa online while porkchop tried to get online on his notebook at the airport
i COULD SMELL IT! It was porkchops deliberate ploy to ditch me at the airport and go back to perth himself! beat beat beat~! i was so busy planning everything and busy with work , busy packing for us both, busy reminding him about his re-entry permit into singapore that i completely forgot i needed a visa to enter australia! aaaaa!!! i could kick myself!
Eventually it was chookie to the rescue ! She managed to find me a UK based website that garuantees instant visas to australia ..so she helped me apply and paid for the visa ! WE LOVE CHOOKIE!!! finally we managed to check in unscathed ...Here i am camwhoring with the facemask that tracie got me from her trip to Vietnam last week..hehehe i wanted to wear it on the plane but porkchop said no. BOOOOOOO!!! Here is porkchop -- feeling the reality of a budget airline and budget airport terminal sinking into his senses -- hahaha yes at the budget terminal...they dont put chairs at the waiting room...so we can all feel all budgety and poor...
stupid idea..shoot those budget terminal planning folks

we finally boarded our plane and porkchop settled down to reading his newspapers...napping and gernally doing porkchoppy boring things...Meanwhile i was bored shitless ., there was no movie, there was no food...i eventually spent SGD 24 bucks on snacks, crappy croissants, crappy chips, crappy macadamia nuts 2 bottles of diet coke...read through 3 magazines . and worked my PSPS till my thumbs ached..for 5 hrs straight
i could not sleep on this crampy plane...why! why did i pick budget airline? for this long flight!
I hate flying anywhere that neeeded more than 2 hours flight time
aaaaa!!!
Finally we arrived at Perth International Airport at around 10pm...and porchop and i wasted no time ...we headed straight for RED ROOSTER bbq chicken and grabbed ourselves some much needed MAKAN!
mmmmmm i miss red rooster chicken...and mostly i miss chicken salt on my fries...
Porkchop then went to hunt for our rented car...he eventually booked a 60 buck a day mitsubishi lancer for 10 days ..JOY JOY
Check out the lancer.. big fat car...with auto transmission ...hahahah porkchop was not very sure about driving an auto car..but he refused to let me drive it

HHAHAHAH too bad then...i like being driven around by my men...proceed...and pls dont let me know even if u got lost ahhahaathe road from the airport into town had no street lighting...hahahah such a familiar feeling...i almost forgot how swa teng perth is...i miss perth man..
Finally we got into town ...and started to make out way to Porkchop's parents place in Como south perth...
