Francois Peron National Park - My first 4WD experience

Francois Peron National Park - My first 4WD experience - All geared up!

Before we start the day proper to Francois Peron, the guide brought us to a place where you can bird watch. He recommend this place for bird watchers. And he pointed out the various birds and names. Not that into birds but Mister is into photographing the birds.

We are here!

At the entrypoint at Peron Homestead Precinct. Its here that you need to deflate your tyres before venturing in. From hereon, its all 4WD.

The road leading us to Adventure!

You MUST plan a day trip here. Repeat: You MUST spend a day here.

Its is here that we had our many firsts: 4WD, walking on dunes, seeing marine creatures in the wild

First time in a 4WD. I was expecting it to be bumpy and uncomfortable. But it really isn't, still somewhat like a car ride.

Walking on the dunes. I keep expecting the sand to crumble and I will fall down the depths below. So far so good! The red dunes are really pretty against the white beach making a striking contrast.

I am not really sure if there is a trail because we had a guide to follow. But there is a recommended trail called the Wanamalu Trail.

Seeing sharks, turtles, rays in the wild! and all at Skip Jack Point.
Tip: Polarised sunglasses is a definite MUST.

A dead whale beached on the beach but no sharks as it is way above the sand.

The guide is very familiar with the fauna of the national park and can spot animal trails that you/me will disregard. You can see the trails of the animal passing through the sand.
Sometimes, it could be just a paw print and the guide can guess what it is.

And we saw a very thorny reptile called the Thorny Devil, its name is so apt and fitting.

Good bye Francois Peron! It had been a fabulous day!

Panasonic steam oven NU-SC100WYPQ "Cutie" Product Review

I wanted to get weeks about it I purchased this item from Tangs at SGD $399. They are having a promotion of discount SGD $50 if you spend SGD $500. So i top up with a vacuum tumbler and pyrex glass dish. After several months of using, here are my comments on this cutie steam oven. This is purely a steam oven with no microwave function. One of the rare oven with no microwave function. I am ok with it as i steam fishes regularly and its a perfect addition of appliance. The other alternative is the miele steam oven and it is on offer at the same time for SGD $1600. The oven can be plugged to main power point as it is at 13 amp. Summary: Here are some of my observations using the steam oven. Buns Easy peasy for the early morning rush to work, put the char siew bao into the oven. Set it to 10 mins and you can steaming hot bun to eat for breakfast. Fish I steam fish majority of the time. It is super easy to use for steaming fish Vegetables Tr...

Kose Beauty Centre Facial Review (Isetan Scotts)

I was very very taken aback when i entered the unassuming beauty salon right in the heart of orchard. While the place is clean and design is simple, it was very sparsely furnished considering its brand name and in comparision with Yamano (the other japanese salon i went). I entered the facial premises after i passed through the hair salon. What greeted me makes my jaw dropped even more, the room is bare. There is no wall partitions for privacy, in its place are curtains hung to separate the different beds. And i am able to see all the facial therapist and guests. Each therapist handles 2 guests both at the same time!!! From My session suppose to start at 3 pm since my therapist is also handling another customer, i whipped out my phone and start playing candy crush till my therapist is available at 3.30pm. The therapist started by cleaning my face and recommending the appropriate therapy for my skin. I was advised to do the Whitening & Anti-ageing Treatment an...

Banquet -Parkroyal beach road (Wedding dinner review)

I attended a wedding in October 2013 at the Parkroyal beach road. Boy! I was in for a surprise. The hotel is newly renovated and refurbished to a very corporate and clean polished look. There is a huge area for reception. Even the exterior area is also revamped (i didn't manage to get pictures for outdoors). You can hold your ROM outdoors and have decorated to an outdoor garden setting. Yes the outdoor area is that huge! This place has changed so dramatically. By comparison, a banquet held at the same location in 2010, see review here . There is alot more room since the wedding i attended is no longer at the other ballroom. The ceilings of the ballroom are tall, creating an illusion of space and comfort.See the ballroom with the backdrop. The photo below is where the bride and the groom walks down the aisle from the back. You are guaranteed a long long walk down the aisle. Romantic backdrop for the stage in romantic flowers display. Interestingly the cham...
