Melbourne trip: great ocean road II & happy new year 2010!

Sebenarnya takde langsung dalam agenda utk naik heli nih… and aku laks tak pernah imagine or berangan utk naik heli in my life pon. Bila sampai kat tempat helicopter edge tu, kitaorg turun keter and just nak tengok2 and amik gambo jer la. Situ mmg byk keter park and tourists ramai stop to amik2 gambo and nampak quite a number gaks yg queueing utk naik heli tu.

Amran tetiba excited nak naik heli tu. I’ve known all along mmg amran minat banget ngan heli and bercita2 nak beli heli kau! Opss bukan bercita2 tapi berangannnnn hehehe…mmg minat sangat nak ada heli, katanya nak gi memana senangggg haha...berangan jer laa...member tu lesen motor beso pong lom setel agik tuh, ehem…Neway, dia tanya aku nak naik ker…aku just shrugged my shoulder sbb..ermm ntah eks..mungkin aku nyer perception slama ni mahal laa tp tgk org naik turun tu mmg teruja jadiknyer! Last2 oklah dua2 agree tuk naik, just merasa skali kan..afterall, bila naik heli tu buleh tgk the whole view of the ocean nearby and the 12 apostles situ. So naik lah kitaorg! So here are the piccas..enjoyyyy!

Satu heli naik 3 org, kitaorg ada sorang mamat from india who studied in melbourne and penah buat masters kat mesia naik skali. Mana yg single tak cukup korum ni akan kena join another couple of two, and best thing is depa dapat dok depan laa which I suppose the view must be damn awesome!! Jangan taktau, masa aku tgh queue nak nunggu naik heli tu ada sorang aborigin yg mabuk so cam tak baper betui dok queue blakang aku, merepek meraban sengsorang dia..dok teguq officer jaga situ kata nak naik sama. Tu diahh ketaq tak hengat aku..heheh aku mmg takot sket org tak baper betui haha aku tak baper betui takper hahaha.

cantik kan?..








i like this picture the best!

Amran tukang amik ngan handy cam, aku in charge of the camera. Tapi aiseyyyyyy...ishhhhh....dia nih adoiiiii bila dah sexcited sangat dok kat atas heli tu, gambo yg dia amik pon tak haper2 sket laaa..i mean, bukan nak amik sepenuhnyer..bukan nak capture all angles and views of the apostles and rocks tu haiyyaaa...bila dah turun tgk handy cam..hrmm lebih2 kurang jer laa....dia sendiri ngaku dah syok sgt kat atas heli tu sampai lupa view kat bawah boleh? muahahaha ntah-ntah dia dok nengok menda2 dalam heli tu lebeyy dari view kat luor kot hahaha then aku cakap kat dia, oooo ni la dia org lupa daratan eks? bila dah berada diatas, rumput di tanah dilupakan!! hahaha hadoihhh laa....i thot that's the whole idea of getting on a helicopter, to get and capture a better view! takper meks redho...hehehe

dah lepas turun, bersama si kamal..dia yg tegur kitoarg dulu tanya from where, we said sydney. then he said, i thot u guys from malaysia and i said, yes we are.. lepas tu cakap melayu terus sembang2

ni dah drive ke depan sikit..our last stop lah kat GOR nih...

ni dah on the way balik menghala ker melbourne city

On the way balik, kami ikut jalan lain..jalan dalam instead of jalan tepi laut masa datang tadi. Ini pon tak der dalam map gaks. Lepas jer setel kat port campbell tu kitaorg patah balik dah la. Actually lepas2 ni ada banyak lagi towns and scenic stop points sampai ker hujung GOR tu coz like i said yesterday, tak dan. Jadi lah takat ni pon...merasa jugak kan and dah lepas yg wajib tengok tu...so masa patah balik nak ikut jalan mula datang tu, ternampak signboard showing Geelong and melbourne..so terus kitaorg redah jer jalan ni. Secara logiknya, jalan dalam mesti lah lagi cepat kan? sbb dia potong ikut tengah right? And yes, mmg betul save time a lot..a big difference in fact! Aku tak ingat dah baper jam dia cut short, tp mmg big difference in travelling time.

Ni dah kat Geelong...nak kata kecik, idaklah kecik sangat...in fact, aku rasa randwick kecik agik dari geelong nih. Sampai melbourne cbd dah macam maghrib2 time dah gitu, kitaorg terus menuju ke hotel jer. Hotel ni pon, mind you book malam sebelum nak travel haritu, ie. khamis malam baru book online. I mean, the other 2 nights dah book awal2 tp hat first night ni yg last minit gilos book. Why? Ada laa sebabnya...

Masuk jer cbd, cantikkkk with buildings and lampu2...tapi yer ada gaks terlepas2 jalan and all..sbb tah camana gps aku penin laks dia kat city tu tah pehal tah..kejap2 nak kena off then on balik. Masa kat GOR tadi elok ja takde apa2. Neway, selamat sampai alhamdulillah, check in and refresh ourselves. Lepas tu kuor balik..nak mencari makan and ronda2 sesikit..and believe it or not, aku pon tak sempat nak research/google halal food outlet kat city, caya dak? sbb tu aku kata trip kali ni mmg jenis main pegi, blasahhh jer...very unlike me. So we kinda had difficulty mencari tpt makan halal sepanjang kat melb. Mmg ada i know and i heard halal food is much easier and scattered in melb city than sydney. I believe so too..cuma tak sempat aku nak surf cari. So malam tu...gi McD laa lagii...filet o fish and fries manjang. Then jenjalan kejap and chalo balik hotel rehat. Oklah, next entry laks sambung kisah & gegambar kat melbourne city.

Before i forget,

Happy New Year 2010!!!

To sum my 2009, suffice to say that...i’ve had achievements, i’ve had failures...i've had hopeful hopes, and i've had disappointments as well.....i’ve seen my relationship with friends getting tighter and i shall say, it gets looser as well.....i’ve also found love and lost ones too…Although the year seems pretty much balance in terms of happiness and sadness, still i would say 2009 has been a rough one for me….emotionally i mean! Nevertheless, i accept that those are the games of life…Thanks to you who’ve been by my side all along..you know who you are and regardless….i love you as always…

So here goes my toast to all friends out there for the new year to come…. i’m wishing for all good things to come our way in 2010! Let’s start anew yeahh!!

Note to self:

Can you fight what's fated on you? No, you cant.
