Today, I went shopping at Westfield Marion Shopping.
Australian Mid Year Sales is on NOW!!
I walked around the shopping centre, there were so many places on sales. I have no clue what to buy. My initial intention was to do my weekly grocery shopping as I just arrived Adelaide not long ago.
Since I have time, I decided to walk around the shops to see what is might be cheap buys and nice too.
As I walked around, I decided to enter Diva. I saw there were so many jewelleries on sales too. I walked around and saw one corner where they were selling many discounted necklaces and earrings.
I was wondering, since by the end of the year, I would be getting christmas presents for my friends, I might as well get them now. Isn't that a good idea? Hehe.
So I slowly selected my gifts. I couldn't really make up my mind of what to get. So I was considering what are my friends' characters, favourite colours and also their favourite shapes too. It was after some considerations that I decided to purchase some of the items.
After I purchased them, I decided to walk around the shop a little before going to either Coles or Woolies to do my grocery shopping.
When I got home, I realized that I took a look at them again. I really like the designs of some of them. However, I still made up my mind that I shall not keep them as they are meant for my friends.
I will not be providing the price of these jewelleries as some of you might be my friends which I will be giving too.
Anyway, the following pictures are some jewelleries that I purchased from DIVA.

12 June 2008
is our second month anniversary of Jack and I being together.
Both Jack and I had agreed to give each other gifts every month (if possible).
Therefore, I received this precious gift from him.
From what I understand, it is actually a VERY expensive gift from him (at least it is to me).
I heard from others telling me that he had some difficulties trying to search for this gift and the shop in Vivocity.
As many of you should know that Vivocity is complex with so many buildings and shops too.
I am unsure of how long he took to find that shop before he finally find the shop and the gift.
However, I really appreciate his sincerity and time too.
Love you heaps, dear.
One day, while chatting in msn, he told me that he already purchased my gift.
During our webcam session, he showed me the receipt of his purchase.
I saw a a 3 digit number.
Initially, I thought that was change of the gift.
However, he told me that it was the cost of the gift instead.
I was shocked of the price when I know about it. It was SGD$150.
For me, I would consider that as anything above $50 as costly as I am not earning my own income at the moment.

The box of the gift
Anyway, the cost of the gift is not as important as meaning behind the chain.
The chain is made of white gold.
There are 3 symbols - Heart, Circle and teardrop.
He chose the pendent to be blue as it is one of my favourite colour.
The circle of the chain is made of tiny clusters of diamonds.
Both the teardrop and heart are made of topaz (gemstone).
My 2nd month anniversary gift
(Received date: 19 June 2008 - Thursday)
Meaning of the gift: White gold chain represents "Purity".
Heart represents "My love for you will be with you whenever you are".
Circle represents "My love for you be as everlasting as the circle".
Teardrop represents "Love is not without its fair share of tears".
Jack always refuse to agree with me but in fact he is actually a very romantic person.
Although Jack is not a person with many words, he moves my heart with with his actions.
He really pamper me heaps.
Thank you very much for this gift.
Love you heaps, dear.

Today is my another day of grocery shopping. I went to Westfield Marion Shopping centre in the afternoon alone. It had been ages since I went there. Hmmm... Let me think. I would reckon it was about 4 months since I last been there. As I was back in Singapore on 5 February 2008 till 17 April 2008 for my Independent Studies (part of my bachelor degree), was in the city of Adelaide for a couple of days before I went over to Port Augusta from 20 April till 6 June 2008 for my Community/Public Health Placement, thus it would be around 4 months since I last been there.

My new Watch
Today, I walked past a stall selling watches. I decided to buy a new watch. I recalled my old watch (a pair of couple 25-hours brand watches, which I'd got for my ex-boyfriend and myself years ago) was spoilt. I still use this watch as it was of good quality rather than having feelings for my my ex-boyfriend. I've moved on ages ago (to be exact my heart gave up on him on the day we broke off). Although there were good and bad memories, I would just treat it as an experience in my love life.
Anyway, old watch was spoilt. The glass of the watch cracked when I was in Port Augusta. When I was doing some readings at home in Port Augusta, the glass panel of the watch fell off suddenly. Initially, I had no clue what was that transparent circular glass panel. I looked around the place and realized that it was from my watch. During that time, I felt quite uncomfortable as I usually use my watch more often than my mobile phone. However, I had to solely rely to my mobile phone to keep track of time. I went to the only repair shop in Port Augusta to try to get it fixed. However, the person said that it would cost me at least AU$30 for the plastic like panel or AU$60 for the glass panel. He said that my watch was of a good quality, hence getting the glass panel for the watch would be worth the price.
I remembered very clearly that I actually went to repair the glass before coming back to Australia early this year. It cost me less than SGD$20 to change the battery and glass panel of the watch. However, the cost of the repair for a watch in Australia is so expensive. Hence, I decide to send my watch to Jack to ask him to help me get my watch fix in Singapore. *Thanks dear. Muacks*
Anyway, it doesn't matter to me now. I've got a new watch. I simple love it. The watch has white leather stripes, stainless steel and has some handmade diamonds on the side of the watch too. The watch costed AU$20. An extra battery was provided and there was a one year guarantee too.
The following is the pictures of my new watch.

BLINKBLINK **
During my placement in Port Augusta, I went for a birthday celebration. That night, I met up with some colleagues who were working in Port Augusta, and they told me about the weekend outing to Flinders Rangers and Wilpena Pound. The dates for the outing were 31st May to 1 June 2008. The main organizer was Jennifer Davison, who is a psysiotherapist working in Port Augusta Hospital.
Initially, I hestitated about the outing as I had been there with my 2 other friends 2 years ago However, after much considerations, I decided to go there again. The reasons were:
(1) Able to make new friends
(2) Take a break and have a short holiday
(3) Different experiences with different group of people
(4)Take pictures as memories as none was taken previously
(5) Something out of my normal schedule (staying at home)
Journey to Flinders Rangers
On 31st May 2008 (Saturday), all 8 of us (Jennifer, Alanna, Rebecca, Leah, Natelie, Alison, Elizabeth and I ) gathered at Rebecca's house. We made arrangements for our carpool and left her house shortly at around 9am.
The Copley Bush Bakery & Quandong Cafe
About an hour later, we arrived Copley and went into Quandong cafe and Bush Bakery for our breakky (Aussie term for breakfast). In the cafe, I ordered my breakky which consisted of bacon, eggs, tomato, toasts & a cup of flat white coffee. The total cost was AU$15.00. We departed at ~10.30am aFter our breakky and continued our journey to our accomodation.
Background of the Cafe
The Copley Bush Bakery & Quandong Cafe is a popular meeting place at the gateway to the Flinders Ranges and the Outback Tracks. The Cafe serves gourmet pies and pasties and Quandong pies that are so good they are exported to other restaurants in the Flinders Ranges and Outback region. There are a wide range of quandong products for sale including jams, desert sauce and meat sauces plus fresh baked goods.

Rawnsley Bluff Caravan Park
Prior to this outing, not much details were provided about the accomodation other than the costs and type of accomodation booked for our stay in Flinders Rangers. However, while travelling to our accomodation, I had an extremely strong intuition that I would be staying in the exact same place which I stayed 2 years ago.
I recalled in december 2006, I came with 2 of my friends for our holiday at Flinders Rangers. During our holiday, it was an extremely hot summer with at least 40 degrees celsius. It was so hot that our air-conditioner in the cabin broke down during our stay and we had to tolerate and suffer with such weather for those few days. Additionally, I had sun burnt too though I applied sun-block lotion. I can still recall the scotching burning sensation of the sunlight on my skin.
However, my trip to Flinders Rangers this time is different. The weather is just the total opposite of what I experienced previously. It was much cooler with with a temperature of at least 14 degrees celsius. during the daytime.
Shortly later (at ~10.30am), we arrived Flinders Rangers. I looked around the environment and realized that the place seemed to be very familiar. I pondered for a while until I noticed a sign board (shown below). However, I was still uncertain if I would be staying in the same place as I used to previously. It was only till when we arrived Rawnsley Bluff Caravan Park that it is positive that I stayed there previously.
Sign board of Flinders Rangers
At Rawnsley Bluff Caravan Park, a few of us went into the reception area, we confirmed and paid for our booked accomodations. We were allocated to the 1st 2 cabins. It was such a coincident that I stayed in the second cabin previously too. It was really unexpected for me though.
Anyway, we stayed in 2 self-catering cabins, comprising of 5-in-1 room and 4-in-1 room. The park cabin units each have kitchen facilities and communcal bathroom faciliaries. It was able to accomodate 2 to 6 people in each unit. Each of us paid AU$25.00 instantly at our arrival.
Concurrently, for those who were interested in horse riding, we were required to make payments our 2-hours horse riding session. Therefore, we booked the session to be at 3.15pm on the same day.
There are a different options for the horse riding sessions. However, for this trip, we booked the 2-hours horse riding session which costed $70.0. Previously, my friends and I took applied for the 1/2 day horse riding session. The cost was slightly higher than the 2-hour session.
Furthermore, we were also required to make dinner reservations if we were interested at Rawnsley Bluff Woolshed Restaurant in the reception area. In the end, we booked our dinner reservations at 6.30pm.
Bushwalking in Flinders Rangers National Park
As there was still time before our horse riding session, all of us decided to go for a pleasant and short bushwalk in Flingers Rangers National Park. It last .about 2 hours. While walking, we came across a kangaroo which was relaxing under the sun.

After walking for a distance, we decide to stopped at our first checkpoint (Kangaroo Gap Outlook) and snapped some pictures before heading to our next checkpoints.

Horse Riding
The receptionist told us that we were required to arrive early for our horse riding session. She told us to be at a place near the Rawnsley Park Woolshed Restaurant. As the instructions provided was a little unclear, we weren't able to find the venue. As I had been there before, I was somehow able to recall the venue. However, the place was slightly different from 2 years, I had to merely use my memory to determine the place. However, to prevent any delay of the event, we decide to check it out with the information centre of the exact venue for the horse riding session. Finally, we arrived at our destination but we were punctual.
At our arrival, a young lady told to sign a consent form and to provide information of our horse riding experiences. She also assigned us to our respective horses. Amongst the 8 of us, Leah, Jennifer, Natelie, Alison, Alanna and I joined the horse riding session whereas Rebecca and Elizabath went back to the accomodation to chill out while waiting for us.

The following are the pictures of us and the horses which were allocated to us.
Prior to our trip, we were told that the horses have a certain sequence which they followed during the session. The following are pictures of how the horses line themselves us.

The following are pictures which we travelled on our horses.
By the end of our horse riding session, all of us were tired and cold due to the cold weather. Although I wore 2 jackets, I was still feeling very cold during my whole horse riding experience. I reckon the most obvious was Jennifer whereby her lips was quite blueish by the end of the day.
At the end of the day, we had a discussion and concluded that the horses were not well-trained and the young girl who was leading us wasn't really experienced herself too.
Dinner at Woolshed Restaurant
After our horse riding session, we went back to our cabins for a while before heading to the Woolshed Resturant. There was a fireplace in the restaurant and many of us went over to keep ourself warm. Once again, I went in there previous for dinner with my other 2 friends. The restuarant is 2 kilometers away from where we resided during our stay.

My dinner
As I'd been there before, I'd decided to get something which would be different from what I usually eat at home. I ordered Kangaroo Fillet, Soup of the day and shared Winter Creek 2007 Sauvignon Blanc Adelaide Hills. The total costs was $45.00.
Kangaroo Fillet, marinated and served with a red wine jus, rosemary potatoes amd salad (AU$26.00)
This dish is simply delicious. The kangaroo meat is tender and juicy while the potatoes were baked till it was very crispy. I simply love the potatoes alot. How I wish I could have it now. Simply mouth watering.
Soup of the Day - Homemade sweet potato (AU$9.00)
This soup had cream served together with it. However, I forgot to take the picture prior to stiring the cream in. The dish was very pleasantly presented unlike this picture which is shown here. The taste of the food is good too. Very thick and sweet soup. You should try it if you have the chance.
The wine which we shared was simply fantastic. I will get one bottle of that wine myself at the end of the year. It is a sweet wine. The taste is simply balanced. Not too sweet for me nor was it sour at all as compared to other 'sweet' wine.
Damper
This damper tasted really good. I simply love it alot. It is a traditional food which the Aboriginal people eats. I reckon maybe I should learn how to make it one day.
At the end of the day, we gathered in our cabins and chatted throughout the night till bedtime. I really enjoyed myself that day though I was very quiet there most of the time.
Anyway, I shall end here today. I will tell you about my experiences in Wilpena Pound in my next entry. It is getting late now. Hope all of you enjoy reading my blog. See you.
