if you are interested how our new house is like, read this

OK! It's time to update and upload pictures.

OK! I will not start my blog like "it's been ages I have not blog at my blog". I should start blogging so that you spies will keep spying on us.

Last week, we moved into a new place that we rent at a quiet suburb called Riverton. I don't have the exact word to describe the house. Maybe... dodgy but exciting! It's old and small but has many features that make us love them heaps everyday when we got home from work. This simple house is owned by our landlord - Mr Jim (he's about the grandpa age, 83 to be exact). We heard much about his kindness but have not really met him personally, he sounds like a nice guy over the phone. The story is - he is renting the house out on the purpose so that the house is not spared. Recently his wife just passed away and he invited one of our housemates, James from Sabah to stay with him. Currently only the three musketeers staying in the house - another James from Korea, SC and I. Cool.

Welcome to our house. FYI, most Australian houses are not fenced and will have garage or parking space in front of the house. I seriously cant see where the mailbox is when we first moved in. There is a car wreck outside at the front yard and weeds are all over.

OK if this sounds oh my god to you, keep reading. We have ample space enough to park 4 BMWs at the front yard, 2 at the side probably.

Connecting to the "garage" it's our garden a.k.a. backyard. It can house a basketball court, enormous to me.

Kitchen is normal but we have heaps of cookwares enough for a 15-person-banquet, some looks antique. I personally love the cabinet in the living room

It is at my waist height, with a 2 meters wide wall mirror. The cabinet's key looks like from the English duke generation, gold and engraved into unique shape. So antique!


Our room is just nice, I like the window facing backyard and it has a roll down curtain.

Sunrise is 5.30am now and I woke up from the birds chirping. Like Danum eh!

One morning when I was having breakfast at the dining room, one of the wall pictures caught my eyes.

It is a picture of boats parking at the beach at night with the moon rising behind the mountain range. The picture is simply made up from paper bark (the boats, jetty, mountain range, trees), a shell (the moon) and black cloth (the dark sky and sea). It is a really beautiful art piece to me. At the corner of that picture, it's signed by the artist, J. Briton.

Is it Mr Jim's artwork? I heard he collected 42 antique clocks in different sizes at his 3-storey house. I cant wait for tomorrow's dinner at his place. I think he's a very interesting person, like in the movie we always watch, the old man in the house who a lot of people talk about but never seen before. So we are going to see the lord of our land tomorrow. Excited.

At the distance, lays the Canning River. This neighbourhood homes a lot of the elders, therefore beautiful gardens are all around the house. The jacaranda trees are blooming with purple flowers now, and WA is really a nice wild flowers heaven.

We are good at home and welcome visitors anytime. Or even just throw a Christmas party during this merry season.
