Well... as u guys know from my last post i'm on my holiday "study break" but it didn't really feel fully like a break from study? it felt more like a break from probably just going to uni but in the end i still had to go to uni in the end... really sucked.. lol.. but in that period i still managed to run swim and have some fun.. i think the highlight so far for the week has been going to swan valley with good friends and good company.. basically it was me, lucas, jeremy, gary, de xin and her parents.. i think we had alot of fun going to the different winery's and tasting the wines.. and best of all for me.. finally liking a type of wine which is the port wine.. hahaha... Anywayz.. The day started out with a good picnic at some benches at a winery called houghton (i think it's spelt correctly) and it was a really nice day cool and windy that morning..
I think that breakfast was in such a goooooood setting.

As you can see i was busy making up a sandwhich as i was really hungry.. haha.. and it was really nice cool and windy day that morning..
Well just look at the beautiful nougat.. i tell u it tastes sooooo good... especially the soft one from mondo nougat.. it like just melts in your mouth when u take a good bite out of it... and i tell u it can be finished very quickly... Nougat gets reallllllyyy addictive..
While driving through swan valley we of course had to stop through the winery's and we stopped at a couple. and that was where we started to appreciate wines.. haha.. Jeremy and I came to the conclusion that we will never like any wines unless they are sweet.. haha.. and that would be the dessert wines and also the port which tastes really good. perfect for the after meal drink.
This was my lunch when we stopped over at a place called Duckstein.. it was really nice.. though it was a little salty.. but once u ate the meat with the mustard it tasted really good.. also the skin at the top was really crispy and when i put it in my mouth and chewed De Xin's mum from the opposite side of the table could hear the crunch when i took a good bite out of it. One thing we didn't have was the beer over there, but from a past experience the beer there is pretty nice too, just that too bad i was feeling too full for the beer.
But in the end... even with all that food stuffed down from Duckstein's we were still able to fill ourselves with some Oggies ice cream.. I had Kahlua and Choc chip as the flavour for my ice cream... and it was just very very good..
Take a look at the amount of wines that we bought.. haha.. and i only bought one bottle of wine.. We had like 16 bottles of wine for 5 people if we don't include De Xin's parents.. If u take a look at the centre, near the purple wrapped wine is a whopping 1.5L bottle of port.. haha.. and it just costs $19 it was meant for cell that evening which we opened and drank it.. At the end of the afternoon of all the shopping for wines, chocolate at the margaret river chocolate factory, having lunch at Duckstein's and also having desserts at Oggies ice cream over all up to that point was an excellent day.
At the end of the day we had cell... i think this was a well taken group photo.. but i duno why did i look like that... hahaha.. some stupid look.. LOL.. going in anti clockwise starting from me.. Gary, Sam, Lucas, Shawn, Ashlyn, Alicia, Nian Chee, Jorine, Jeremy, Jasper and lastly we have De Xin.. and that was about the end of the day..
