Perth 2014 (Day 4) - Orchard Glory Farm Resort

Wednesday, July 30, 2014
LET ME START BY SAYING THAT THIS WAS NOT WHAT I HAD EXPECTED FROM A FARM STAY 

We reached Orchard Glory Farm Resort at around 5pm and it was already getting dark!!

And you can tell the difference here between a Canon and a Nikon DSLR camera in these 2 pictures. I find that pictures taken with a Canon DSLR has this really soft and dreamy ~feel~ and I quite like it actually 
But nonetheless team Nikon all the way ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ

We found a portable heater (that Dana is standing in front of) and it was probably the best thing that ever happened to us (and our soaking wet clothes from the Pinnacles Dessert rain) that night :''''''') 

And yes the sofas for the the chalets are all different LOL there's a picture of another chalet at the end of this post AND THE SOFAS ARE DIFFERENT TOO 

Hahahahahaha spot my Spongebob hoodie reflection

This is Mr Chua's chalet but Marilyn and I took this room too!!! Doesn't it look so homely and cozy wtf I cannot take it sia. AND ESPECIALLY AFTER BEING DRENCHED AND COLD AND UNCOMFORTABLE, being welcomed by a cozy and HEATED bed is the best thing T_T
TOILETS WERE ALSO HEATED AND THE SHOWER AND EVERYTHING ELSE WAS WORKING FINE 

Lol after the 6 of us finished marvelling over the wonder that we call our home (for that one night), we headed out for a ~night~ tour around the farm's wine place storage warehouse factory thing

Beanie cause we cute 

This is the farmer from the farm (lol duh) next to Orchard Glory, and he was the one who gave us this tour haha 
Here he is talking about how wine is so expensive and how he'd think nobody would want to pay $1000 for a bottle 

Putting the cap cover sticker label thing over the cork???????

Upset because we didn't get to drink and test the wine :( :( :( :( :( We were all very slightly below the legal age to consume alcohol :( :( 

After the tour, we headed back to wait for dinner.... 
BUT BUT BUT WE FOUND OUT THAT THEY HAD A ROOM WITH A PING PONG TABLE AND A POOL TABLE????????????????????????????????????

Mr Chua and Emil playing ping-pong aiyo cutest thing I saw that night HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

It's like the two of them teach the more technical, research side (aka boring) of Psych, and seeing them outside of school (or Singapore for that matter) is just so refreshing and nice??????? I mean it's not like they're super strict in school and all (because none of the Psych tutors are honestly) BUT YOU KNOW LIKE FOR ONCE we don't have to associate them with boring research methods but with fun things like Perth and Ping-Pong!!! 

MEANWHILE

This was mutton curry, beef franks, grilled lamb, chicken kebab and cheeeeeeeesy potato gratin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wtf the potatoes were so oily but whatever la I'm in Perth LOL and I even took a second serving of potatoes T_T

I never liked BBQ food because I've always associated BBQ with (sometimes uncooked) chicken wings and (frozen aisle) hot dogs..... BUT THIS ONE IS LIKE ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE SPECTRUM wowowowowow now my expectations for the subsequent BBQs I go to have just soared way up high wtf T_T T_T T_T

Hanging out with the cool kids HAHAHAHAHA 
(and lol wtf I sit until damn unglam wtf wtf) 

A lot of the Year 2's who went were from class 01, while Mari and I were from 02. I was afraid that we were going to be outcasts but everyone was so friendly :'''''''"'( Nicole even asked us to hang out with them in their hotel room at night when we barely just started talking to each other :'''''''''( And then when we reached the farm, they also invited us over :'''''''''''(

And the switch for the electric blanket!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
It ended up being so hot I had to remove my blankets wtf LOL because the whole chalet and room was already heated well enough :'''''''''') THAT NIGHT IN BED WAS LITERALLY THE HOTTEST I HAVE EVER BEEN SINCE I REACHED PERTH 

Anyway the next day was the coldest morning out of all the morning's we were there, so the heat didn't last too long LOL ok bye!!!!!!!!!
