“kriss”Last Day in Geraldton
hmmm… everyone’s shock that im a little sad to leave geraldton.
Despite the small town, handful of shops, limited activities and rainy days, i have enjoyed myself
Managed to cook up two dinners without poisoning anyone =)
Today we lazed away the last morning we’re gonna have in geraldton, and woke up at 2pm for pancake and toast breakfast =)
then we headed off to see the river that hasnt been flowing for 4 years
River was flowing pretty fast with mini water falls
And then we walked further up to the highest point and looked across.
It is literally greener on the other side, with the farms, fields, and sheeps.
Amazing view
it was a really got sun shiny day today! =)
No rain for one whole day.
Blue skies, fresh air, running water, good view, good breakfast. what more can i ask for?
heading back to perth tomorrow. shall update then cos i’d most probably have nothing else to do =P
Chicken Kebab – KRISTINE STYLE
woke up to go grocery shopping with luke and getting some stuff on the to-do list checked off
made chicken kebabs kinda thing on satay stick
first prepared the potatoes, carrots, cucumbers, pineapple and stuff.
did abit of fancy spiral thing with the cucumer (miss doing kitchen stuff in sentosa)
raw ingredients that luke kept picking on!!
sat down and started skewing them
see the curly spiral thing i did with the cucumber?? =)
luke helped cooked these on the BBQ
and this is what we had for dinner tonight!
Lea (luke’s mother) took care of the baked potato with cheese =) yummy yummy
and then she tried a new pancake recipe and we had pancakes for dessert. HAHAhaha =X
shepherd’s pie on either wednesday or thursday night.
rain rain go away
been wanting to go cycling down by the river opposite, but it’s been pouring cats and dogs
last night I headed out with the smiths to a fine dining rooftop restaurant. pretty cool and classy
Lea’s funny after 2 glasses of wine (she doesn’t drink much)
Went around town today with katelin cause she wanted to do some shopping.
Shopping in geraldton is seriously depressing. don’t even ask about it. I can’t wait to go back to perth… to all the great big sales
then I followed luke to watch a soccer game. met a few of his friends and watched the boys play soccer. nothing compared to watching dinesh, mingkai, mingchuan, sivam, aslany and zhenhui play soccer. miss those boys =)
lunch tomorrow at some pretty sweet restaurant a little out of town, and then grocery shopping. Lea says its my turn to cook next week. hahahahah.
let’s hope i don’t poison them. heheheeh
picture post
here’s some random photos from my phone that i never got down to downloading
H Block (the block i stay in college).
I threw his slippers on top of the shelter
Nice big rainbow in the skies as boyle, erica, amalia, jmuzz and i watch tom, mickyb and luke play hockey
Lighthouse at geraldton
fish&chips + beach + waves crashing + sun set <3
im loving this
Went to watch transformers last night. good movie. excpt for a certain parts like the guy coming back to life.
Geraldton’s like a small town, luke knew practically half the people in the theatre.
.
It’s nice to wake up to blue skies and green grass and trees.
To drive past cottages and farms and see horses running together around the land
To take a stroll along the foreshore and drive around the small town.
Trying to hit golfballs and missing them most of the time.
.
=)
the white light
Exams ended last thursday!
Friday went to take a walk in town with Marian and Sarah, got yummy Apple Strudel, and sent Sarah off to the airport in the afternoon. Part of me left with her cos she’s always been part of my Perth experience. =(
Woke up for work early in the morning on Saturday morning and the rush to pack my room, send Jade to the airport. Another figure of my Perth experience leaving me… =( and then i drove back and was really tired because of the lack of sleep over the past two weeks.
At a junction, i placed my foot on the brake of the auto car as i stopped for the red light. I closed my eyes and fell asleep.
…
I saw a flash through my closed eyelids and i opened my eyes in shock. I looked right and saw that the car had inched out past the stop line. I looked around… there were no cars around so i reversed the car back before the stop line. Thank goodness there were no cars coming from my right or my car would have been blocking almost one whole lane.
That was a super super super close call. And I thank whatever that shone the light in my eyes and woke me up. Will never let that happen again. That just freaked me out
Sunday morning we left after lunch to geraldton. Reached in time for dinner =) Yummy yummy home cooked food. Lea’s really good at cooking. I feel comfortable and it’s nice here.
Pretty much slept the morning away on monday, woke up to honey buttered pancakes for breakfast and played tetris through the afternoon. Luke taught me how to SWING THE GOLF CLUB. managed to hit a few balls further than 5m. hahahah
It rained this morning and we just lazed in bed. Got up to yummy toast and crumplets breakfast =)) and then started to do some research on the comp for units next semester.
Will head out tomorrow morning to the town of gerladton. Looking forward to the walk around town, stroll along the river nearby and the transformer movie on thursday. Country Town Soccer game on Saturday, Lunch at really nice place on Sunday with the Smiths. Maybe meet up with the other tommy more people soon.
will take some photos soon…
as for now i’m just R&R… resting and rejuvenating and pampering myself after a crazy study period.
