Heaven

Oh - thinkin about all our younger years
There was only you and me
We were young and wild and free

Now nothin can take you away from me
Weve been down that road before
But thats over now
You keep me comin back for more
Baby youre all that I want
When youre lyin here in my arms
Im findin it hard to believe
Were in heaven

And love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart
It isnt too hard to see
Were in heaven

Oh - once in your life you find someone
Who will turn your world around
Bring you up when youre feelin down

Ya - nothin could change what you mean to me
Oh theres lots that I could say
But just hold me now
Cause our love will light the way

Baby youre all that I want
When youre lyin here in my arms
Im findin it hard to believe
Were in heaven

And love is all that I need
And I found it there in your heart
It isnt too hard to see
Were in heaven

Ive bin waitin for so long
For somethin to arrive
For love to come along
Now our dreams are comin true
Through the good times and the bad
Ya - Ill be standin there by you

...10 years of anonymous cards and anonymous feelings........

yeahh...it took almost 10 anonymous years before fate finally brought us together and secrets revealed.....alhamdulillah..

Sengsara

Harini takder apa yg nak aku bebelkan except that sengsara nyer aku rasa nak develop questionnaire...*now, tell me which stage of these yg tak sengsara ahaks ahaks!* grrrrrrrr....Aku dok menyambil-nyambil alternate browse websites yg aku nak fokus dalam study aku tuh ngan develop questionnaire utk collect data sok....Bosan & fening yg yg nih, switch pada yg tu pulak and vice versa. At the point of defending proposal tu sok, q'aire nih idaklah perlu sangat..tapi kalau ada bagus jugak. Kalau ikutkan yg lepas2 senior-senior aku, idaklah depa dah develop q'aire sesiap masa defense depa tuh...tapi having mark and jennifer as reader, mana tau untung-untung depa boleh komen on my q'aire nih then soon after that boleh dah lah refine memana perlu rather than baru nak mula dari step-0 kan. So kira cam nak cut time sikit lah untuk collect data tu nanti insyaallah. Sementelah pulak ada lebih masa sebulan before submission...lagi seminggu dua sok aku tengok lah balik proposal aku tuh..final of the final one......tapi iskkk keroje yg nih sakit blakang, sakit tengkuk segala lah stress nyer. Walaupon keje nyer bak kata faizah..adopt & adapt tapi sengsara dan derita jugak lah pada aku nak develop menda alah nih adoiiiiii.....

Anyway, ni aku berjamu laksa kat korang nih..haa sila silaaa.. nak tambah 2 mangkuk pon boleh...sedap tauuuu..cukup segala rasa masam, pekat ikan segala cukup lahhh.. bak kata amran boleh meniaga lah! slurpppppp!! *sajer jer bagi korang tingin especially seseorang tuh! merasa no* kekekekekeke.

Wokesss daaaaaa *balik kang jangan singgah gerai laksa laks yach! hehehehe*

4-digit number

Akhir-akhir nih banyak kali dapat call dari my tenet nyer service provider nyer representative. Depa kata my tenet nyer usage dah tinggi for this month and last month that it exceeds my normal usage plan. Meaning, costs more expensive than it usually is per megabyte. I told them that it's because off late i'm tied up with work that requires me to browse websites *that comes with loads of graphics* which explains for the unusual over-the-board usage rate, plus this is not gonna be a permanent situation *although i know there is no need for me to explain this in the first place, tp peramah kan ahaks!*. They want to suggest better plans and so i let them go on promoting coz no harm in listening to options that i might have.

So i listened to what he has to say. Dia nak suggest kat aku plan yg seems like better suit to my usage rate. Okay...so i listened some more.....dia dok bebel2 idak pulak dia straight to the point what kind of plan that they have in mind for me nih. Anyway, last last dia mintak my online 4 digit password. Whatever is that for? Sbb aku rasa depa boleh suggest plans but do they need my password? Even my bank haritu pon tak request my online password instead depa soh aku login and proceed from there. And, do i really must respond that soon and hence give my password for him to do that for me? I dont think so. If i ever need to change my plan, i'll do that myself. Call me paranoid but better safe than sorry. I mean, at the very least people need time to digest information and think it over to decide, dont they?

Dalam univ mail pon cam gitu.... banyak kali dapat email kata my mail dah overload ker atau IT department nak streamline the mail ker atau library nak re-scan ker atau facility dept nak buat haper haper benda tah... and in the end....mintak bagi univ mail aku nyer id and password tah haper haper tah. I dont buy it either. The content of the email was so convincing with lots of the word unsw or any of its departments mentioned in almost every other line of the email. Except that the domain name from where the email came from was just too wierd. If one had read it too fast, she might just respond to it. No, it's a scam. So in this case, read the domain name @ sender carefully before replying yer ahaks!.

The bond

Weken baru nih aku basically melepak-lepak ajer kat umah...selain bowling and gi paddy's haritu other than that just lepak kat umah..tgk tv..catch up on dvd citer lama2 yg lom sempat tgk dulu2...antara nyer failure to launch..best gaks....masa gi eastgarden baru2 nih ada dvd2 pack yg 2 in 1 or 3 in 1 tu aku blasah beli sbb murah. Sempat gaks gi cycling yesterday morning..cuaca smlm elok i mean, idak ler panas sangat..nice la kira...so lepas la gaks dalam 2.5 round huhuuuuu *siap kira tuh hehehe for a beginner like me, mmg akan kira masa dan rounds cycled laaaaa* heheheh.

Anyway, over the last weekend i was so happy that i was able to get in touch via electronic medium (i.e. tenet la tu) ngan one of my bestfriends. I was so happy! Sebab dia ni sokmo takde masanyer nak bertenet-tenet bagai...bz ngan kojer dia........tapi weken lepas terjumpa dia online..terkejut dog aku dia boleh online pulak...so mmg sembang sakan..melepaskan rindu segala...then...dia citer kisah dia...terkejut dog gaks aku lagi skali! Well...aku mmg follow kisah dia nih despite oceans apart and a period of silence kan but bila dengar tu haritu still i was shocked jugak la...hrmmm......tu lah dia...hati dan pendirian manusia ni sangat fragile..senang sangat nak berubah...kadang2 nampak firm and strong and yakin sangat but in another instant dah terbalik kot pulak...biasa lah tu kan...and from experience long time ago, i learn that hati manusia nih kalau nak berubah tu, bebila masa jer boleh jadi..dalam sekelip mata kata orang....yg penting camana kita tangani situasi2 tersebut....

Persahabatan aku dengan dia nih take an on and off mode heheheh dari dulu lagi...off here means mmg off betul-betul tau, hilang terus takder cara nak contact......memula ber-contact lama....then terputus...then contact balik...then off balik..gitu la....i'm sure everybody has experienced this kind of situation dah kan....tapi tu lah mmg kita kena percaya pada takdir kita and in this case, sesuatu persahabatan tu kalau tidak ditakdirkan utk putus mmg takkan putus la ikut-ikut mana pon and vice versa.....so against all odds our friendship still continue to bond together alhamdulillah dan insyaallah berkekalan hendaknya.

Wokesss tukar citer...cuaca sejuk dan redup jer dari semalam and sampai ker pagi nih, i like! hehehehehe.

Tukar citer lagik , dapat sms dari anonymous smlm berbunyi..."Sedapnya keli bkr and sayuq keladi kat loq setaq". Agak-agak saper yg nak buat aku terliuq tuh? Sure boleh teka dah saper anonymous tu kannnnn.....kekekekeke

Tukar citer gaks lagi....hehehe, nak wish BokD selamat harijadi *dapat tau dari ilham's*...semoga u berjaya capai apa yg nak dicapai dalam hidup dan moga2 berbahagia sentiasa..amin..

Happy Birthday BokD!!

Girls just wanna have fun..

Fuhhh..semalam panas sunggoh laaaa..even kat umah pon panas which is jarang-jarang sangat terasa sebelum ni walaupon skrg tgh peak summer sbb umah aku nih sejuk sket...normally summer suam lite-lite, autumn & spring memang nice and kalo winter pulak mengetor! mesti 2, 3 layer nyer dok umah pon walaupon heater dok pasang.

Anyway, u ol akan cuti panjang ler sampai selasa eks..cuma DDD aku tu jer coti sampai tahun depan kekdahnyer..hahahaha errrr ni dia cakap laa bukan aku eks kekeke....kat ostolia ni senin cuti gaks..australian day..tp takdak apa plan lah just lepak2 ajer tgk dvd perhaps and maybe buat laksa yg tak terbuat-buat since last weken sbb daun kesom takdak laks & malas nak gi paddy's mencari....ntahhhh lately nih tingin laks rasa nak makan laksa buatan sendiri huhuuu...so harus ke paddy's gaks tu nanti weken nih.

Esok we all ada bowling match under persatuan sini...heeheehee setelah aku racun-racun si amran, dia pon akhirnyer mau join laaaa...so aku rasa ada chance lah group kami ni jadik juara wohooooo......juara longkang yach! kekekeke. Aku bukan reti main pong....join just for fun & support of the program jer la plus giving alternative to my lifestyle from the way it has been...bak kata cindy lauper tu kan.."girls just wanna have fun" ..haa aku lah salah sorangnyer tuh hehehehe. Lama gaks aku tak main bowling dah since the last time aku misscarriage dulu sbb nak avoid angkat berat2.....hrmm....when was it eks?...errkk..tak ingat dah! so maknanyer now dah buleh main balik dah laaa eks...boley gitu conceptnyer? kekekekekeke

So okay lah u ols...slamat bercuti panjang yach and enjoy!!

Methodology

Pasal study aku ler apa lagi..

Aku sekarang nih at the stage yang fokus pada methodology aku...my first 3 chapters aku rasa dah ok dah tu..mantap dah kot ahaks! *agaknyer laa kan*..hanya perlu memperkasakan *tu diahhh* chapter 4 tu ajor, iaitu research methods. So apa yg aku kena bagi tumpuan buat masa ni ialah buat content analisis.. basically kena analyze content of certain websites..yg related with products la...erm...so dari semalam actually berpinor gaks mata dok browse websites serta content nyer skali....selain dari berpinor nak fokus mencari menda-menda alah yg aku nak tengok pada website-website tersebut..mata aku jadik buntang serta otak aku menjerit2 jugak ler bila tengok produk2 yg dijual kat situ hehehehe paham-paham jer lahhh.. nak, nak pulak tadi dapat a list of websites that sell gorgeous items in it sent by a gorgeous fren! makan ati nyahh!! kekekeke. It is interesting though this thing coz aku buat on menda alah yg aku minat/suker/passionate of... tp drawback dier??? aku suker terleka laaa cuci mata layan produk2 tersebut kekekekeke. So, lagi lagho ler aku layan tenet nih lepas2 nih...hehehe

Anyway, kalau ada blog2 yg spesifik citer/pomot tentang produk dan malaysian-hosted (dotcomdotmy) pon baguih & menarik jugak tuh...

"One Step At A Time"

Hurry up and wait

So close, but so far away

Everything that you've always dreamed of

Close enough for you to taste

But you just can't touch

You wanna show the world, but no one knows your name yet

Wonder when and where and how you're gonna make it

You know you can if you get the chance

In your face as the door keeps slamming

Now you're feeling more and more frustrated

And you're getting all kind of impatient waiting

We live and we learn to take

One step at a time

There's no need to rush

It's like learning to fly

Or falling in love

It's gonna happen and it's

Supposed to happen and we

Find the reasons why

One step at a time

You believe and you doubt

You're confused, you got it all figured out

Everything that you always wished for

Could be yours, should be yours, would be yours

If they only knew

You wanna show the world, but no one knows your name yet

Wonder when and where and how you're gonna make it

You know you can if you get the chance

In your face as the door keeps slamming

Now you're feeling more and more frustrated

And you're getting all kind of impatient waiting

We live and we learn to take

One step at a time

There's no need to rush

It's like learning to fly

Or falling in love

It's gonna happen and it's

Supposed to happen and we

Find the reasons why

One step at a time

When you can't wait any longer

But there's no end in sight

When you need to find the strength

It's your faith that makes you stronger

The only way you get there

Is one step at a time

Mengayuh lebih kencang!

ehhh silappp..mengayuh lebih laju patutnyer tuh....aper yg buat aku terrrr tulis kencang tahhh hehehehe

ehem!

Ingat tak lagi salah satu entry aku baru2 ni on 'change'? yeapp that one.. need to do some changes or so i said....

One of them is to mengayuh lebih laju ahaks ahaks!

hehehehe....

Idak ler..actually sekarang2 nih aku sedang asyik dengan sexcitivity mengayuh aku ahaks ahaks!

Beli beskal nih about 2 weeks ago kat Big W. Aku nak cari yg murah2 ajor dalam 50 dollar jer ker sbb sekadar aktiviti rekreasi ajer...tapi masa aku gi tu takdok lah pulak...so disebabkan semangat yg waja hehehehe blasah jer yg ni.. aku taktau Repco ni branded ker idak for bicycle...tp ermm pada aku mahal ler gaks....amran was very supportive of course bila dia dengo aku nak ber rekreasi kekekekeke and bila aku sebut nak cycling mmg dia suker beno ler sbb selain football and badminton sports yg dia main, cycling is his next interest.

Dia yg beli beskal dia tu dulu..dia nyer beskal tu is a second hand one tau..which pada hemat aku mahal gaks ler..hisyyy bising gaks aku bila memula dengo rege nyer..sbb yer lah kan with that amount of money for a second hand bicycle??? apekah??? but then cepat2 jer dia defend diri dia kata bhg depan beskal tuh *tah aper nama parts nyer* pon kalau ikotkan regenyer jauh lagi mahal dari sebuah beskal....well...of kos la dia boleh kelentong aku kannn sbb aku tak tahu...in short, he want a good quality bicycle lah katanyer, ntahh tak tau aku..anyway, dalam seminggu dua lepas tu aku laks gediks nak join dia sama sbb bunyi cam exciting jer cycling kat park sambil menikmati pandangan & udara yg nyaman *sebenonyer dia provoke aku jer tuh nak soh aku join dia!*..hehehe so tu yg gi cari satu beskal aku tuh...

Beskal masa baru beli tuh dok dalam kotak lagi so kena assemble sendiri.. nak soh depa assemble kan boleh..ada charge sket..tak ingat laks rege nyer sbb yg ni amran assemble kan sendiri...bukak2 kotak kat umah..baru pasan that both our beskal nih sedondon-dondon jugak kaler nyer putisss gittew...i like!! kekekekek *ko jgn nyampahh yg ni nyahhh..ni coincidence tauuu! hehehe*. Cumanyer aku punyer ada bunga2 kaler pink & purple la....with matching pink helmet jgn tak tau! very der gegirl occay! heheheh tu siap ada loceng lagi tuh! hahahaha memula dia takmo pasangkan loceng and tongkat beskal tuh sbb dia kata mana der org pakai loceng2 bagai dah kat beskal and mountain bike tak rawk la ada tongkat kekekekek tp aku nak gaks..as a safety precaution kata nyer tu diahh kekeke yer lahh aku bukan nyer nak racing ker haper kan heheheh..

And memang ler sexcited aku dapat beskal sbb actually dari kecik i have never own a bicycle.. yerlah ada beskal keluarga la kan..tp nak kata i own one myself takder.. adik laki aku ada la bmx dia tuh....this is the first lah for me nih...

Kami gi ker centennial park nun *cewahhh bunyi jauh beno nun tu eks kekekeke*..erm kalau jalan kaki berpeluh gaks laaa gi situ hehehehe...so skrg nih alternate days ker..or in weekends ker belah petang2 tuh kami mengayuh ler ke centennial park tu.....mengah gaks la kannnn sbb baru mula2 hehehhehe.. wehh centennial park tu beso tauu..dapat buat satu pusingan penuh pon dah satu achievement for me tau for a start!

Wokessss lah.. nak gi mengayuh nih ehhhh silapppp nak gi tanak nasi nun hehehehe..

daaaaaa

The date

..ini bebelan tentang study yach! so kalau rasa-rasa akan bosan..anda dibenarkan skip ajor deh! hehehe..aperrr??? selama ni pong dok skip jugakkk??? iskkkk!! :P

*****

After been waiting for quite some time while noticing how my boss prolonging this, finally i've got the date!...yeap the date for my proposal defense that is as i'm done with my proposal writing. The date is not gonna be that soon though...it more or less side tracked a bit from the date that i had wanted it to be...but taking what my husband said.."at least u got it in the month that u wanted and that means achieving your target as well.."..hrrmmphh.....*sigh*...okay, okay..so end of march it is.....the last day of the month to be exact. ..owhh that's okay anyway..

I had three meetings last week..yeap 3 meetings in a week that can be considered very rarely to happen so far....hrm.. this time what i did was..since he said he's fully satisfied with my work and that i'm ready, i led him by giving questions that finally led to the selection of the date. Otherwise i just dont understand why he would prolong it! ..but..hrmm..come to think of it, i think i know one possible reason ...*i think he want me and a bangladeshi friend who is under his supervision as well to be doing the defense closely together...and while she is still in her writing process, she got her date already too...2 weeks earlier than mine!*.

Anyway, what i liked most about this is of the readers for my proposal! jeng jeng jeng!! *tak pasal pasal eks hehehe*. There'll be 2 readers *in other words examiner* for all thesis proposals andddd.......

..mine is Mark *my idol huhuu..ermm fated laa aku ngan mark ni ahaks ahaks! kekekeke* and Jennifer. I like! Well.....i think i've introduced him in one of my entries some time ago......he is very, very good. Although being so..he is also super nice, a VERY constructive critic and very detail in his comments plus he would not only criticized but also accompany them with solutions/suggestions. What important is that when he do so, he would normally put it in a nice way, not harsh like some academics i've seen...and Jennifer who was my lecturer for data analysis course last year, is a nice lady and an expert in methodologies...not that lenient in her markings/critics though....

..hrmm....having said that, i would think that both are perfect for my work development but this means that my proposal will be criticised VERY thoroughly which could also mean that there are possibilities for more corrections to be made huhuuu..takper takper...better now than later, better late than sorry eh? *hehehe statement nyedapkan hati sendiri yach!*. Anyhow, i really hope that there won't be that much corrections to be made *amin..* so that after the defense, there will be only 3 or 4 more chapters to go as 4 chapters are done....wont be as painful, i suppose!

So..tu jer lah... upon receiving the date tu last friday...dah sakit perut kecut perut cold hands cold feet sumer tuh dah walaupon jauh lagi hehe...in fact skrg pon, whenever i think of the approaching date..erkk sudahh ketaq lorrrrr...

So this is it yach!!!

daaaaaaa.

Happy birthday, brother!

It's the birthday of my dear brother whom i adopted from this virtual space ahaks ahaks! bunyi macam sedih lah pulak adopted tu eks hahahahaha memain jerrrr...besday boy mana boley marah kan on his besday kekekeke

Anyway, hopefully you'll be blessed with good fate and happiness and success in everything you do yach! Thanks for the moral support and thanks for the friendship too..

Happy birthday to you..

Happy birthday to you..

Happy birthday to Ady..

Happy birthday to you..*clap clap clap*

Happy weekend ols...

Wokesss daaaaaa..

Home trip

hrmmm..... nampaknyer my home trip this coming july is almost a must, so it seems.

the significance is mounting..

the relevance is unquestionable..

however, whether it will happen or not is subject to the funding that i had applied for *and of course if the paper is accepted and it's under review now*...

so, doakan juga yer!

not that i am so keen on balik kampung *sheeshh what makes u think of that??*...i mean, helloooooo i just went back last november, remember? but...this is work occay..strictly work *ehem! tersedak plak ahaks!*

i mean, look at it this way....if i am able to present this paper at this malaysian 2nd retailing international conference with surely big shots *in my area* & possibly potential thesis examiner attending them too *it's my task to scout for one from the malaysian market! grrrrr*...it will be another achievement in my study milestone, yes?.....and u would want to see that, wouldnt u?

so...i know in between your prayer for yourselves and our palestinian counterparts, u guys will slip in a small prayer for me too, right? both for paper acceptance and the funding as well..*takdak funding takdak cherita ya, case closed!*....thanks beloved! muahh muahh hee hee hee *icon menyanyi-nyanyi kecil* kekekekeke

so.....cikya.....mee bandung muor satuuuuuuuuu!! oppssssss heeheheh

wokessss daaaaa

A change

yeap..i think i need to do some changes laaaa...

changes on how i proceed with things...
changes on my boring, monotonous daily routine that i had lead in the previous year...
changes on how it has been going...

although i am not really sure of how things should be....i am not sure whether i should be more relaxed or should go into more fast-paced kind of changes......but somehow i just know that some changes need to be done...

afterall, it's a brand new year!!

so for instance.....do first, worry later...just go with it! ahaks ahaks!

Watsons Bay

Last Saturday 10/1 we all ada impromptu farewell picnic for cikpah & gjoule and also kak nira & abg is, initiated by fiesh. The location is at Watsons Bay, Sydney. Aku memang lom penah sampai sini despite its distance yg hanya about 20 minutes ajer from randwick nih. Rupa2nyer...it has such a breathtaking view! Korang tengok eks..

Berdekatan ngan watsons bay tu ada Macquarie Lighthouse, Australian's first & longest serving lighthouse..

Ocean cliff yg dinamakan The Gap.....cantik dari atas nih....ada walk path kat situ utk tourist naik atas and enjoy the view of the Pacific Ocean..tak tinggi mana la.. some more ada pathwalk and well maintained...rupa2nyer the gap nih is a top suicidal spot heheh tpt org bunuh diri..so ada ler jambangan2 bunga yg diletakkan along tepi2 pagar kat atas nih.. the gap nih bentuk dia cam U and aku kat belah sini..so kat tengah2 tu lah the gap nyer..yg dulu kala penah ada kapal karam kat sini sbb tersilap ingatkan kat sini entrance utk masuk sydney harbour..

Pandangan ke belah kanan kami laks..ternampak sayup sayup Sydney Harbour..the tall buildings of Sydney CBD and Harbour Bridge..

Cantik ciptaan Tuhan kan..

Ni actually boat nun jauh di tengah lautan..dok zoom nih..so gambo a bit blur and pecah la..nak tunjuk gambo kapal ala-ala pirate of the carribean's ship ajer tuh..


Could be repetitions on pictures..i mean amik dari spot yg sama... tp honestly, aku mmg tak puas-puas menatap laut kebiruan yg terbentang luas kat situ..

Ni walkpath dia utk naik atas ke top of the cliff .. ada tangga utk naik atas nih..

Ni pandangan ke park area we all buat picnic tu..

Ada gaks nampak bebudak mandi sini...takder ombak la belah sini...it's not a swimming beach though....byk bot-bot persendirian di-port-kan kat sini...in fact kat rumah2 tepi jalan pon byk bot2 yg di park depan umah2 depa nih..kat sebelah kanan ni ada Doyles, seafood restaurant ler apa lagi...ala2 restoran terapung la gittew..

Wokesssss tu ajor deh!..daaaaa

..bye-bye and till we meet again..

goodbye to you my trusted friend
we ve known each other since we
were nine or ten
together we ve climbed hills and trees
learned of love and abcs
skinned our hearts and
skinned our knees

goodbye my friend it's hard to die
when all the birds are singing in the sky
now that spring is in the air
pretty girls are everywhere
think of me and i ll be there

we had joy we had fun
we had seasons in the sun
but the hills that we climb
were just seasons out of time

we had joy we had fun we had
seasons in the sun
but the wine and the song like
the seasons have all gone


..to cikpah and gjoule who are going home for good today...goodbye to you both and till we meet again..

..i surely had a great time with them..

..sob sob sob..

..is sedih dan sebak..

..at this very moment laa...ermm...esok cikpah depart from sydney huhuu..tamat lah sudah episod dia kat sydney nih..serta tamatlah sudah episod kami together-gether di sini.... sob sob sob...hrmm..siang tadi tak terasa la sangat..tp skrg-skrg nih, rasa cam sedih sangat la pulak..hrmm...kalau lalu ker maroubra beach sure terkenang2 kan dia nih..also kat coogee..also bila ada function2 kat sini...aduhaii aduhaiii....also bila kenang bab gold coast trip, apatah lagi..uhukkk..dah biasa sangat tiap kali ada function kat sini, ada jer sesama..uhukkkk.

Tu lah dia perpisahan...tu lah dia...bila dah close-close sangat nih, tiba time nak berpisah ni susah lah jadinyer...yer lah bukan tak jumpa lagi kan kat mesia sok kalau panjang umur.. tapi nyer tunggu aku grad dulu lah kot..hrm..but by then bila balik sana dah sure things will change, surely one...time spent together as students and time to be spent together when started working sure tak sama nyer..

Day 5 : 31/12 Wednesday

Aktiviti santai

Hari ni kami break dpd aktiviti yg melibatkan adrenalin rush.. kasi cool sikit dulu hehehe..so..buat apa yer??? kami check out dari town and country motel dan terus ker harbour town shopping center...yerrr again!! haritu kejap jer..tak puas ronda heheh..hasil tangkapan?? jam fossil *dah ada intention dari sydney lagik* ala-ala sporty at $50 dan perfume tommy $29 small size *takder intention...terrrr!*. Balik dpd tu kami cek in kat Palm Trees Motel, Palm Beach, near Coolangatta dah..priced at $90 per nite..sama gaks 1 double bed, 1 single bed.

Malamnyer we all gi brisbane tgk bunga api..actually taktau ada bunga api...ingat nak meronda-ronda jer cuci mata...then tgk2 sempat catch fireworks at 8.30pm yg khas utk family nyer... hat yg tgh malam tu utk adults....crowded juga tp tak se crowded kat sydney nun..petang lagi dah penuh dah...kat sydney pon sama..fireworks depa ada 2 version gaks.. hat earlier for family and tgh mlm nun..

Balik dari brisbane sempat berbbq lak lagi for our dinner...such an impromptu plan..atas cadangan farid...sementelah bilik we all bersebelahan, mengadap swimming pool dan ada meja depan pool yg betui2 depan bilik aku.....so farid n amran gi beli udang and ikan kat coles depan motel utk di-marinade sblm gi brisbane tadi dah....chef nyer of kos la farid! Cikpah and goule stay kat somewhere in tweed heads about 8km from our place but of kos depa joined us that nite jugak..so we all lepak2 sembang2 sampai tgh malam.. si darwisy dah tido dah masa nih....best laaaaa syok sgt..actually masing2 dah ngantuk dah masa nih.. tp bertahan gaks sembang2 sampai new year...

Tu yg terbukak pintu on the left tu bilik aku..on the right tu bilik yanie and sebelah kanan tu bilik cikpah *who checked in there keesokan hari nyer*. I would recommend motel nih sbb walaupon small tp comfy, bersih and taraf hotel yg selesa gaks la and sumer bilik tuh kat ground floor ajer.. ada 5 ker 6 bilik jer...parking sumer depan pintu bilik memasing.. senang banget nak hangkut barang..i think it's a family business laa sbb tak nampak ada worker buat2 keje maintenance dia...except for sorang omputeh dia jer..owner dia laa..normal rate dia $65 per nite.

Day 6 : 1/1/09 Thursday

Day 7 : 2/1/09 Friday

Coolangatta - Knockrow - Coffs Harbour - Randwick

Depart: 9am

Arrive@ Randwick : 2.30am

It's the time to balik uhuk uhuk.....Check out dalam kol 9am gitu and bertolak balik....jalan ok tak jem...on the way ternampak ni The Macademia Castle.. terletak kat Knockrow, on the way dari byron bay nak ke ballina...so kami singgah japs..

Ni macademia nut masih ngan kulit dia...bahagian nih bahagian free testing tp kopek sendiri la yach.. tu pemecah dia.. amran kopekkan utk aku macam nak bagi aku kenyang! hahaha

Then kami teruskan perjalanan...mmg tidoq la on and off aku nih....then we all stop kat Coffs Harbour...tepi pantai gaks.. utk dinner seafood and prayer jamak sesiap.. kat sini ada big banana, basically ada tempat main2 gaks toboggan ler apa..tp kami sampai dah tutup.. so sempat singgah suvenir shop dia kejap jer and for some pictures..owhh yer sumer yg dijual kat sini berasaskan pisang.. siap ada kebun2 pisang sini...siap ada sejarah pisang.. kita tak heran la kannn hehehe tp aku lupa laks tgk2 kot dia ada juai jantung pisang.. leh gaks rebus cicah sambal belacan sure besttt! hehhehe

Besar kan banana ini? LOL

Then we all singgah laks kat Holland Downunder.. ala2 dutch village la and clog barn masih di area coffs harbour, tempat buat terompah kayu ala-ala dutch tu.. tp dah tutop maka bergambo kat luor ajer ler yer...

Ni masa stop nak beli dinner kat fisherman village..tpt seafood fresh ala-ala sydney fish market sana nun la kan...tgk2 ada kapal nih Earthrace ada kat situ nak depart tengah malam kang..

And... sekian lah sajer pengembaraan dan percutian kami......best tauuuu...mmg pada aku best sangat... although penat..mmg penat la dok berjam-jam dalam keter.. mengharungi traffic jam lagik.. then naik rides sumer tuh.. then mandi laut gak lagi ..then travel ke brisbane lak kejap...shopping lagik hehehe and almost tetiap malam tido lambat...lambat la pada aku sbb lari dari waktu standard aku..then bangun dan bersiap awal sbb amran suka keluo awal ronda2 kawasan sekitar...fuhhh tp all in all, a worthwhile trip! Walaupon kalo korang tgk trip percutian kami nih sangatlah sempoi and cincai-cincai ajer in terms of food and how things went..tp..such a sweet memories indeed for me personally....best sgt!!...Duit pon keluaq banyak gaks laa...tp takper lah bukan selalu eks...

Gegambo yg depa snap and jual masa rides tu mahei gaks.. ada yg 15 dollar, adaa yg 20 dollar.. ikut la...tp blasahh beli sbb for some memories...now if u guys are wondering naper we all dok check in and out motels sepanjang percutian nih..ianya sebab motel2 tu sumer not available.. so kami dapat slip in ikut date2 yg kami stay tu jer.. tu yg bertuko2 motel.. but good experience gaks la kan.. merasa dok pelbagai tempat.. altho kalo saper ada anak..sure agak remeh la kan kejap2 nak kemas barang and kejap2 load barang in and out dari boot keter kan....Aku rasa saper yg suka travel2 gini ok jugak kalau satu trip (pegi or balik) naik flight *tokleh bawak byk barang though*, satu lagi trip sewa keter drive haaa ok gaks camtu kan..save time.. tp taktau ler bajet camner.. kena cek and wat research lah dulu laks kan..

Next percutian mana laks nih eks?? hrmm....*pkir2 nih* hehehehe berangan ajer la dulu...

Wokessss sekian, the end.

CCGC Day 4 ~ Movie world

Day 4 : 30/12 Tuesday

Movie world, Oxenford

Wokeh harini kami sangat ler teruja nyer nak gi ker movie world pulak. So pagi nih breakfast aper yer? *scratch head* owhh yea, bekfes maggi goreng..harini kol 9 gitu keluo dah...and walaupon queue panjang, quite cepat gaks bolos masuk kat entrance nyer. Harini Kyora akan join sama.. dia 8.45am dah beratur kat entrance.. So lepas masuk and jumpa dia...manusia mmg ramai lah.. lagi ramai dari semalam.. movie world lagi top dari seaworld sbb kat sini both adults and kids can enjoy to the fullest as compared to seaworld yg kids lah yg paling enjoy nyer.

So, kat depan sekali kat main entrance tuh ada sebatang tiang *err tiang lah kot no hehehe* setinggi 61 meter fuhhhh tu lah dia batwing. Fuhhh mula dahhh kecut perut and seram sejukkk.. sebelah tiang 61 m batwing nih ternampaklah berlingkor2 superman nyer rides lah.. Anyway, farid and amran dah teruja konon2 macho terus nak naik batwing tuh dah...aku??? mana boleh kena tinggallll.. dalam2 kecut perut seram sejuk tuh aku ikut jugakkkk beratur tuh hehehe tp bila ada 2 lelaki macho ngan aku.. aku jadik kewl la sikit.. Queue quite panjang jugak.. Bila tiba time nak launch roket tuh..ala2 roket la..spaceshot gitu kan..dia nyer pegi ker atas tuh kan fuhhhhh berdesup!! Memang menjerit sakan la aku, sure punyer kekekeke..then dia hanya cecah half a second jer kot kat atas then terus dropped free fall! Dia nyer drop tu in 2 seconds huh ngeri! ngeri tapi best laa hehe Selesai tuh, we all cool down sambil jenjalan kat dalam movieworld tuh.

Ni kat entrance dia.. kewl jer lagi...*nyahh harini ko nyampah lagi dak nengok gambo nih>? hehehe*

Lepas batwing, we all beratur nak masuk ke Shrek 4D show. Actually building shrek nih antara yg menarik perhatian laa.. dah la kaler apple green kan ahaks! ianya salah satu character yg popular among kids jugak..Ni queue tak lama sgt...sbb show ada byk kali..kat dalam tu penuh la.. aku sib baik dapat seat 2nd row depan...terasa percikan air ker muka and labah2 menjalar kat kaki aku tu! Tah apa yg betui2 menjalar tuh tah hehe..about half an hr kot show dia gitu..

Next, we all dah lapo dah masa tuh.. so dah merayau2 cari food court halal dia..building dia full with shop lots actually yg jual souvenir2 cuma depa kaler2kan make it attractive and ikut karakter2 yg ada like superman, batman, charlie chocolate, shrek, scooby doo lagi apa.. looney tunes..

Ada satu area tu pulak ada a few keter2 lama so just amik gambo sini..

Lepas tu dalam kitaorg berjalan2..nampak geng2 scooby doo nih tengah jenjalan...then we all decide nak masuk rumah scooby doo.. Aku dulu cartoon scooby doo ni mmg aku suker tgk..ala2 nak nyelamatkan org tp sendiri penakot gaks kan... anyway, building scooby doo nih nampak cam umah berhantu..and namanyer pon scooby doo spooky kan..masuk umah2 hantu nih bukannyer aku berani pon hehehe cuma teruja jerrrr.

So kitaorg pon masuk and queue la..kat luor nampak cam tak ramai org.. so oklah kan.. farid tak masuk, jaga darwisy and also bagi chance kat yanie masuk...takat umah hantu apa la sangat kan...tengok2.. masuk jer tu diahhhh berjela2 beratur nyer dalam building tuh!!! Kat sini lah queue plg lamaaaaaa skali of all! Aku rasa ada dekat sejam aper.. dah la panas, berkuap.. huh..cam nak pitam pon ada..dok teguk air jer aku.. so yg masuk nih aku, amran, yanie and ky. Yanie macam saspens gak muka nyer camner la umah hantu scooby nih kan... tp aku suspect sure ada naik coach ketapi kecik and akan melalui rail ketapi sambil kena kacau dek hantu2 kat tepi jalan dalam gua tu kan.. alaaa cam citer kartun dia tuh la kan..


So, bila dah sampai turn we all.. sedang elok keter tu for 4 ppl, aku ngan amran dok depan, ky and yanie dok blakang...sebelum keter tuh bergerak, pintu gate depan tu tertutup terus.. so tak nampak apa ada disebalik pintu tuh...saspens dah masa tuh.....ceee masa turn keter kami jalan...slow jer.. melepasi pintu tu kami terkurung dalam gua yg kelam dan mengerikan ittew.. tengok-tengok......rupa2nyer.. it's a roller coaster ride in the dark that we only got to know bila dia dah speed up and too late for yanie to regret the ride hehehe, gilosss nyer menjerit la memasing ngan kelajuan keter kami dengan kami tak nampak sangat jalan depan nyer..element surprise in the dark plus the kelajuan keter kami tuh yg buat saspens tuh! dah la aku kat depan! lama2 dalam aku jerit2 tuh aku pasan si yanie dah senyap! hehehe sian dia.. i'm sure kalo dia tau itu ada roller coaster rides, sure dia tak masuk nyer *dah abes ride baru dia cakap, dia dok doa2, mengucap2 dalam hati sambil terbayang farid and darwisy sambil terbayang2 anak dia dapat mak tiri!! hehe*.

Finally keter tu benti sbb dah sampai kat satu pintu yg tertutup.. legaaaaa we all abes jugak ride ni .. kisahnyer belum lagiiii!! keter tu gi reverse laks ngan laju skali sambil turun pulakkkk and ada baper tingkat lagik nak turun tuh.. masa dah selesai tuh kat luar jumpa si farid, dia dah tau dah rating yg nih kalau ikut meter cam meter keter tuh, dia tunjuk cecah zone merah kira mmg thrill ride la dia sajer je tak kabo hehehe.

Abes tuh, kitaorg seperti biasa kena la menenangkan semangat dan perasaan memasing kan.. so teruskan ronda2 sana sini.. jumpa karakter cat woman nih amik gambo japs.. kena queue tuh nak bergambo pon..Then we all gi makan kat food court yg ada jual halal food..mahal la eks banding biasa..air mineral water ajer pong 3.80 dolar sebotol. Tapi sebab panas campur penat jerit sama so mmg berbotol2 jugaklah plain water dibelinyer. Aku and amran as usual makan seafood platter jer..sambil2 makan nampak si marilyn monroe-lookalike nih tgh ronda..




Then selesai tuh..kami berjalan ker area yg lain pulak.. heading towards the wild west falls. Fuhhh aku kalo masuk bab2 rides2 yg babitkan basah2 nih mmg gemor sungguh laaaa... Area yg nih pulak macam small cowboy town and designs of the kedai2 and jalan2nyer mmg cam kampung koboi la kan..



Yanie mmg takmo naik...farid and amran of course naik.. ky laks aku tengok pkir seploh kali nak naik ker idak hahahahah.. aku takot gaks tp nak main gaks so i'm in! racun2 si ky ajak join.. last-last dia pon masuk sama.. si yanie jadik photographer. Queue boleh tahan lama gaks..then bila turn we all...aku dok partner ngan ky, amran laks ngan farid..ada lagi i think 2 more couples blakang kitaorg....so log kayu tuh pon bergerak la gedek gedek gedek slowly....manjat bukit nak sampai ker tpt tertinggi mcm dalam gambo tuh kan utk turun free fall kang...masa nih mmg la kecot perot sangat dah cam tadi gaks..


So bila dah finally naik atas.. and tengah ready kat depan pintu nih bracing ourselves, tunggu nak terbukak jer pintu tu utk di lepaskan kami free fall nih... roper2nyer.. dia leh free fall reverse lakss!! 9 metres reverse fall tuh hehehe jerit ler lagik kitaorg..rasa2 si farid pon jerit gaks sbb terkejut and tak sangka kekeke..bila dah kat bawah tuh...ropernyer log kami tuh dibawak meronda2 sekitar a built kampung org asli..slowly then only baru sampai ker port yg betul2 utk jatuhkan kami ala-ala free fall tuh. Yang ni dropped of 20 metres fall at 70km/hour. Aku tau ada built in camera.. so dah ready ler kali nih.. siap dah senyum nak tgk camera tuh kau..at least nak la satu gambo ride yg tersenyum manis kannn hehehe tapiiiiiiiii....the moment log kami dijatuhkan ajerrrr.....kamera kemana, senyum kemana.. aku jerit jugakkkk sudahnyer!! iskkkk ...basah ler sesikit takder la basah sgt.

Then after that just take some pictures here and there... ni lukisan nih...

After that, we all pon keluo dari area tuh and ronda2 lagi situ..kali nih dah point masuk kedai2 souvenir tu jer..




Singgah sat kat charlie and the chocolate factory.. yess of course depa jual cekelat.. tp aku tak beli la.. sbb tak tau halal ker idak..


Lepas tuh dalam berjalan2 tuh kitaorg terperasan kat hollywood stunt nih boleh takder org queue pulak....padahal dari pagi tadi, this one spot mmg berjela-jela panjang queuenyer..so aku, amran and ky amik kesempatan masuk..yanie and farid dah terpecah sbb sbb gi bahagian kids' rides... byk jugak rides utk kids..ada gak macam ala-ala batwing tuh.. tp of course la pelan free fall nyer kan.. ada gak roller coaster.. ishh tp aku rasa cam laju jugak for kids.. tp bebudak sini kan mmg berani laa... dalam ride2 yg aku masuk and tgk tuh.. ramai jer bebudak laki and pompuan yg aku rasa kategori budak skolah lagi..bebudak mmg tak takot apa eks..berani sunggoh!.

So dalam ni basically depa tunjuk stunt-stunt yg dibuat dgn keter and all tuh..panas yakmat masa nih sbb mengadap matahari.. terbakar rasa kulit..



Walaupon panas terik, still ramai org nunggu dalam tuh nak tgk show dia...

Dah lepak2 dah sikit belah petang tuh.. dah relax2...ingat nak chalo dah..sbb dah penat... yer lah..bila panas kan.. melekit kulit and dehydrated some more so mmg penat ler jadiknyer...tengok2 si amran nih tak puas lagik! Dia tetap nak naik superman ride macam kat bawah nih..dia ajak aku..tp yg nih aku dari mula melangkah masuk jer ker movie world pagi tadi mmg dah set dalam kepala takder confident utk ride yg nih so mmg takkan naik nyer...dia dok pujuk gaks.. tp takmo lah aku.....so amran kata takper dia nak gi naik sorang...ok aku kata.. aku pon tunggu jer kat bawah tuh la nak amik gambo dia....tengok2 masa amran dah queue kat dalam tuh.. nampak farid and yanie.. and farid cam berminat nak masuk main.. huhh berani gaks farid nih eks... walaupon aku tau masa dia queue tuh sure dia lembik lutut gaks hehehe..then aku terus cakap kat dia yg amran tgh queue kat dalam better dia gi join... yer lah bila naik ride ngan kengkawan nih kan.. ada semangat sikit kan..idak ler takot sangat...so naik la depa..

Bila ride nih dah abes kan.. aku sempat amik gambo amran dari jarak dekat..aku boleh nampak expression muka and body language amran.. and somehow i know that dalam byk2 ride yg dia naik dari semalam lagi... yg ni lah dia agak ngeri hehehe..sbb tgk dia nyer body language lepas ride tu dah stop hehe..so bila dia turun jer aku terus tanya dia..mmg dia ngaku pon dia ngeri gaks la yg ni...taktau la kot aku takder kat sebelah dia utk kasi semangat aku nih kannnnn ahaks! Amran kata si farid sebelah dia masa ride tuh kan..tiap kali nak mula free fall lepas naik tuh kan dok cakap.."mati ler aku kali nihhh" hehehe and that ends our ride for that day..Then then kitaorg pon chalo lah..berpisah ngan ky kat sini..



Adoiiiii aku rasa entry aku yg nih dah panjang lebor sangat laaaaaa...penat dah nih marathon tulis utk 4 hari hehehehehe tapi lom abes lagi activity kami utk harini nih...iskkk..Okehhh in few sentences jer...balik motel rehat2 kejap refresh ourselves and all then kami keluo laks untuk dinner. Masa ni cikpah join we all sbb dia check in kat motel yg sama ngan we all....dalam dok pkir2 apa nak makan itu ini..byk restoran dah fully booked...last last we decided tapau pizza ajer kat satu halal restoran sini and gi makan kat tepi pantai surfers paradise... so we all melepak sampai tengah malam gaks.. kedai2 kat sini tutup lewat gaks unlike sydney kol 5 or 6pm udah close..yer lah tourist spot kan...lepas makan, amik2 gambo.. jenjalan.. sembang2...then chaloooooo.

Wokesss tu jer utk harinih... Esok aku sambung lain.
