HPB Voices Reloaded
Nov - Dec 2007
It’s Holiday Time!
Although we have school vacation break 4 times a year, this end of the year time is special as it is extra long. It is also special because everybody is in a holiday mood with the christmas feeling infiltrating the air. This year Hari Raya Haji is just 5 days away from Christmas. Everyone must take the “End of the year holidays” – even if it is for one or two days, we must take a breather – to recharge ourselves.
In this issue, we are presenting the many different vacations that HPBians took. Be surprised at where they go to.

Veronica’s Trip to Western Australia – Perth, Margaret River and Albany
Margaret River – winery area. Stayed in a place called ‘Tasty Olives’ where they grow grapes and olives. Beautiful place and so very quiet at night.
Windmills in Albany, Western Australia harnessing nature’s power to generate electricity. Look at the size of the windmills! There are 12 of these gigantic structures in Albany.
That’s me down there!
Tree top walk in the Valley of Giant trees in Walpole Norrnalup National Park near Albany, Western Australia. Trees reach a height of 40 m.
Geok Lian’s Perth Trip
It’s breakfast time for the lambs
Edythe and Mary’s Lamb
Cynthia’s trip to Japan
My family at Tokyo Disneyland – the happiest place on earth
Cleansing like the Japanese way before entering the Sensoji temple.
Grace: "A Little Boy’s Maiden Trip Abroad"
Fremantle
Located about 30 minutes from Perth’s CBD, this Western Australia’s largest collection of heritage listed buildings oozes a vibrant mix of cosmopolitan class, funky culture and warm, heritage charm.
Brought my son on his first horse-drawn wagon ride at Swan Valley.
We took at nice walk along Hillarys Boat Harbour after a sumptuous lunch on the way to the Aquarium of Western Australia.
Finally, a nice shot of the family with everybody looking straight at the camera.
