Perth Day 1: View from the bus

Nothing much to be shared on our Day 1.. hehe..


I've shared about our "First Class" accomodation story dah.. hehe..

My only advice is.. Kalau naik Air Asia flight pagi nak mampos sampai Perth International Airport..

Lepas dah custom clearance.. Rilek rilek la dulu kat airport tuh minum2 kopi ke.. kalau nak semayang pon ade surau kat situ..

Sebab poyo2 macam kitaorg nak gi pekan secepat mungkin.. tapi pekan dia mmg lambat bangun.. so no point nak gi pekan cepat2 sgt.. and i belive tak kisah la hotel ape ko duduk pon.. takde nye hotel tu nak bagik ko check in pukul 830 pagi kalau check in time dia pukul 2 petang.. huhuhu..

And based on experience.. (Perth and before this Melbourne).

Memang akan sgt2 letih and jet lag kalau sampai subuh2..

Padahal waktu Perth tu sama jek ngan waktu Malaysia.. hahahha..

Maybe sebab hari bertolak tuh kitaorang masih busy bekerja..

So penat dia memang lain macam lah.. huhu..and dlm plane tu bukan nye boleh tido sangat.. kalau naik business class tu lain la kan..

And basically first day nih tak spend duit sangat except for foods..

And kitaorg mmg tak buat ape pon except pusing2 carik bearing naik bas free.. hehehhe..

Kat sini bas free dia nama CAT Bus..

Ade kaler Merah, Kuning ngan Biru..

Each kaler pegi area lain2.. tapi akan ade area yg dia bertembung 2 kali..

Kalo korang nak pegi Perth.. Sila google CAT bus... and tengok jadual perjalanan dia.. Just untuk start and end time jek.. waktu lain2 tuh jgn risau.. bas memang berlambak2.. Every 10 - 15 minits confirm ade satu.. Lagik afdal kalau korang study skit peta perjalanan each line bus tu..

Kalau malas takpe... buat jek macam kitaorg.. naik jek satu bas dulu tak kisah la line kaler ape pon.. asalkan yg mase tu bus stop tuh paling terdekat ngan kitaorg.. hehehhe.. dalam bas tu ade peta.. haa.. mase tuh la tengok nak pegi mana.. sambil tangkap gambar2 menarik dari atas bas jek.. hahahhaha.. Lepas abes satu round.. pegi naik bus kaler line lain plak..

Sampai la ko dah tersenguk2 ngantuk atas bas tuh.. hehehhe..

So, I'm ending this post with pictures.. yg banyak nye di ambik dari atas bas.. :P


Gambar yg di ambil secara curi2 sbb mase nih dah nak landing. hehe. Cantik kan Perth from above.

Dah settled custom clearance.. mase nih masih aktif bertenaga sbb excited baru sampai kan..

Mase nih dah tak bertenaga sebenar nye! hahahha.. I wrote my earlier post tuh mase kat McD ni lah.. Mase tu punye la mengidam nye nak makan Sausage Mc Muffin.. hahahaha.. Tapik terpaksa makan McEgg jek sambil feeling2 rase daging.. hehehe..


Mase nih sungguh tak feeling tarik beg besar tgh2 bandar.. huhuhu.. nak nangis pon ade mase nih.. sbb rase sgt helpless tatau nak pegi mana.. Pekan dia still kosong takde ape yg bukak lagik.. huhu.. Seb baik kol 830 tu kitarg pegi hotel balik tinggalkan luggages kat store room.. Baru lah boleh berjalan ngan aman damai sket..

This is stop #7.. Very near to our hostel.. Not bad eh.. Every few minutes datang satu bus.. so mmg la sgt best..And bus dia very punctual..

Depan bus stop tu is this art museum or something.. OBVIOUSLY kitaorg tak masuk.. hahahaha.. dot kalau pegi holiday mmg tak minat museum2 nih.. setakat amik gambar kat entrance bole.. Lepas tuh baik aku melawat shopping mall kan.. hehehe..

Tengah tunggu bas.. bertemankan burung merpati.. hehe.. Sepanjang our stay there, the weather was soooo nice~

Korang kecik2 dulu pernah main tak menatang nih? Nih versi gergasi.

Museum lagik. Lmbat nye bus nih!

Ok.. Dah dalam bas.. Muka dah rupa anak sedara mak lampir dah.. huhuhuh.. kalau jumpa tepi jalan malam, aku tak sure la sape lagik takut kan sape.. hahahha.. Mase nih dah ngantuk ok.. rase nak mengamok jek.. huhu..

Hhahahhahaha.. Patut la aku cakap sorang2 dia nih tak response.. ciss.. rupa nye dia dah tido tak ajak plak tuh.. huhuhuh..

Nampak shopping complex terus bini dia kejut ajak turun.. hehehe..

hahahahha... Leman muka macam kena dera.. Ngantok nak mampos dah kitaorg mase nih.. Every 10 seconds aku merengek ngantokkkkkkkk... ngantokkkkk...hahahahha.. mesti stress jadik leman kan.. sebab dia pon ngantuk jugak.. pehtu bini dia memekak mekak.. hehe.. I know you love me strong husband :P


Mase nih dah lapar.. so kita kasik isi perut dulu.. kedai sushi nih halal..

Lepas makan nih.. kitaorg naik bas balik hotel balik.. Sebab mamat reception tuh janji bilik kitaorg siap dlm kol 11 am.. aku mase nih dah terbayang2 katil ok..

Sekali sampai hotel tu nak dekat kol 12 pon.. masih belom ready itu bilik.. uuwwwaaa.. janji palsu belaka.. terpaksa atas sofa depan reception tu kitaorg laki bini bantai tido.. hahahahha.. sungguh tak senonoh.. dah la betul2 depan pintu.. sebab lobby (if it can be call lobby la) kecik gila.. so masuk pintu nampak la  makhluk nih tengah sedap tido atas kerusi.. hehehehhe.. Mase nih aku rase kalau gempa bumi pon aku tak sedar kot.. ngantokkkkk gileee...

Seb baik la kol 1 tu bilik kitaorg dah ready.. And bila dah masuk bilik.. not bad la room dia.. standard 3 star hotel.. Tapi sebab ngantuk.. tak kisah la berapa star pon.. asal dapat katil mase tuh.. hehehhe..

Kitaorg sambung tido dari pukul 1 sampai pukul 4 petang!! hahahahhaha.. Membazir satu hari kan..

Lepas tu siap2 mandi semua baru keluar balik.. tapi hari pon dah nak malam..

Baru pukul 5 tapi hari dah nak gelap and kedai banyak dah tutup.. so kitaorg pon tapau la kebab and meat in box.. makan tanpa pandang kiri kanan.. sedap nak mampos.. hahahhaa.. Lepas tu sambung hibernasi dlm bilik..
 
So that's the end of our Day 1 at Perth.. Sungguh "pack" with sightseeing activities kan.. (dalam mimpi)..hhhehehe.. Tapi literally dah abes cover pusing satu Perth.. cuma nye dari dalam bas la.. hehe..

Ini kasut2 kitaorg.. yg kiri sekali tu Leman punye one and only jek yg dia pakai/bawak dtg sini.. Yg tiga bersusun kat sebelah tuh bini dia punye.. heheheh.. Tapi true my words, sepanjang 7 hari kat Perth & WA, memang aku utilized ok semua kasut2 tu.. :)

See you in Day 2.. I promise it will be more interesting than our "Day 1: Perth from the bus window"

Just Back Report: Perth & Western Australia Appetizer

Hello.


I'm back at home sweet home.

Had a WONDERFUL time on my honeymoon. :)

The after effect smile is still plastered on my face. hehe.

Too bad.. next year dah promise leman no more holiday. Took all my self descipline not to login to website Air Asia.. huhu.. Takpe.. I'm sure I can pujuk him to just one holiday.. am thinking between Korea or New Zealand.. hehehe..

Back to Aussie trip..

Walaupon trip kali nih tak berapa prepared.. but i think we're ok..

The thing i love most about being on a honeymoon (besides spending loads of quality time with my Leman) is the feeling of total relaxation and freedom.. The secret is not to put any expectation..

During any of our honeymoons.. we don't aim to get the maximum area coverage during our time there (bukan mesti melawat semua tempat2 yg best).. we focus more on spending quality time with each other.. Away from home.. away from work.. away from everyday chores and away from familiar environment..
And it took us 5 honeymoons since we got married.. and for the first time i booked us into a backpackers hostel.. to realize that..

When on honeymoon.. we spent a LOT of time being in our hotel room.. hahahhaha..

So next time.. no more skimping on accomodation.. hehe..

Perth and Western Australia is basically a very very laid back city.. By choice definitely!

After spending a week there.. i won't mind to work there for a while if given the chance..

Cause everybody is so laid back.. shops semua tutup kol 500 pm.. sekali seminggu (jumaat) they extend their opening hours between 6 - 9 pm..

I'm sharing our itenery, travelling on 22 - 28 October 2011 (excluding travelling time).. Later, i will link each day to its own post..

Day 1: Perth City

Day 2: Fremantle

Day 3: Harbour Town + Caversham Wildlife Park + Swan River drive

Day 4: Perth - Mandurah - Bunbury - Margaret River

Day 5: Augusta – Hamelin Bay – Lake Cave - Margaret River

Day 6: Margaret River - Dunsborough – Busselton - Harvey - Perth City

Day 7: Perth City

Gambar2 di bawah sebagai appetizer 

Cheers!

Lain Lalang Lain Belalang

In a few hours time, our taxi will be here..
Sending us to Perth Int Airport for our flight home..

Air Asia ade satu jek flight coming in and out of Perth..
So takde masa lain selain kol 650 pagi!
huhuhuu.. takut nye nak tido takut terlepas kapal terbang. huhuh.
Pukul 430 pagi kang nak gerak dah..
But at least we've check in.. so harap2 cukup masa nak pegi shopping kat duty free kang.. hehehe..

Overall, our honeymoon trip has been awesome.. (minus the first day blip :P)

When i first made the booking, i had no expectation whatsoever..
Mase pilih tuh, actually lebih kurang harga ticket between Korea, Perth and Gold Coast (my shortlist)..

Korea pon ok jugak.. tapi mase tu rase macam nak pegi negeri omputih plak.. sebab last year dah pegi Taiwan kan..

So pilih la Perth.. sebab ingat kan as compare to Gold Coast.. Perth nih macam kampung jek..
so mesti la tak mahal sgt..
Wrong!!

Part kampung tuh partly betul la kot..
Tapik part tak mahal sangat tuh.. huhuhu..
Sape sangka accomodation rates kat sini gile mahal..huhu..
And the high exchange rates not helping..

Tapi.. takpe.. insyaallah duit boleh di cari kan youolls..
Yg penting sihat tubuh badan dan akal fikiran.. Aminnn..

Next year we don't plan to go on holiday.. hehehe.
Boleh percaya ke?
We still have another holiday to complete this year..
Bali in December 2011..
And actually we've book a mini holiday to Kuching next February 2012..

Tapi after such a wonderful honeymoon this year, rase macam agak susah untuk plan tidak mau kemana mana next year.. hahahahha.. but true to my words.. aku belom beli ticket ke mana2 (yet)..
Selalu tuh kalau nak travel next year.. by this time dah 2-3 ticket holiday bersusun dah..
Tapi kali nih langsung takde.. hehehe.. cause we have plan on something else..
Maybe boleh pujuk Leman untuk 1 honeymoon next year..
Antara Korea atau New Zealand.. (berangan mode on)..

On a different note, I've been getting the same remarks from few different friends..

1) Banyak nye duit asek pegi holiday jek!

2) Banyak nye cuti you asek pegi holiday jek!

You see.. awal2 start keja tuh mana ade holiday byk2 kali macam lately nih.. Mase tuh pon kalau holiday pon banyak abah or in laws belanja.. hehe.. Lepas tuh dah pandai sikit lepas dah discover Air Asia tambang rendah.. hahahha..

And looking back at the list, aku banyak mixed domestic and international.. Normally domestic tak semahal international pon.. and kalau roadtrip lagik la tak mahal.. International pon byk pegi within ASEAN jek.. so again tak mahal mana.. Tapik kalau dah pegi nye sampai 3-4 kali setahun boleh tahan jugak la pakai duit kan.. hehehe..Sebab tuh kita kena planning baik punyee.. sebab kalau mase tiket murah.. kat situ ko dah boleh saving banyak gile kot.. untuk beli tiket pegi tempat lain pulak.. hehe..

So takde la kata aku banyak duit.. Cuma kena pandai carik tiket murah + MATTA
Kalau banyak duit, takde kisah la bila pon mase nak pegi holiday.. aku ni kadang2 tunggu cukup setahun baru lah boleh pegi holiday.. selalu gamble jek beli tiket dulu.. apepe hal pon boleh burned jek tiket tu nanti kan (tapi alhamdullillah aku belom pernah burn any of my tickets lah)..

Pasal cuti plak.. yg nih kengkadang agak annoying especially yg question tuh sama company ngan aku..
Kalau aku dapat 15 hari public holiday.. harus la ko pon dapat 15 hari kan..

Ade satu remark aku dpt tuh.. "Pet is treating you really well. Senang gile dapat cuti!"

Patut tak aku geram? Gaya cakap mcm aku makan gaji buta kan..
Lempangs kang..

Padahal sama byk jek cuti aku ngan orang..
Except mase kat MAS dulu annual leave 24 hari.. serious heaven on earth okay! hehehhe..

Tapi sebab skrg cuti sikit.. aku mmg kena pandai planning..
Banyak tu la semua cuti pon.. itu la cuti nak raya.. itu la cuti kot2 ade emergency..
Tapi one thing for sure.. aku tak pernah amik Emergency Leave..
Syukur alhamdullillah la pon there's no need as of today.. (except mase FIL aku stroke arituh)..
Selain daripada tuh.. semua cuti2 aku adelah planned for..

Sebulan dua nak travel aku dah share calender cuti aku ngan boss..
So that senang nak plan untuk kerja sekali..
Boleh siapkan sebelom pegi holiday..

And aku selalu tebuk public holiday and sabtu ahad.. kat situ dah save byk cuti..
Tak kisah la bayar lebih pon.. asalkan leh save cuti.. sebab slalu kalau travel public holiday and weekends mahal sikit la kan.. Tapi ko kena la korban sket.. tu pasal kena planning..
Kang tak cukup cuti nak raya kang susah plak kan.. hehhehe..

And most importantly, aku rase sebab kitaorg masih belom bless with a child (or more), kitaorg nye duit and masa is more flexible..

Ko ingat murah ke duit pampers, susu etc tu semua.. aku rase duit2 tuh dah boleh buat tambang aku pegi Phuket or Bali kot.. hehehe.
And since aku still berdua.. nak beli tiket untuk 2 orang still tak semahal nak kena beli tiket untuk anak2 sekali kan..

So there you go.. it just take good planning.. and sometimes rezeki.. especially bila ade yg baik hati nak sponsor holiday kitaorg.. hehehe..

Tapi mmg addicted la holiday nih.. it's a good way to destress.. tapi not sustainable.. (makne nya utk short term solution for destress boleh la kan..).. sebab tuh aku pegi holiday byk2 kali.. hahahah.. sebab after a few months ko confirm akan stress balik kan..

And lagi satu.. lain lalang lain belalang..
Makne nye setiap orang punye priority tu lain2 kan..

Macam aku gile holiday..
Ade kawan2 aku yg gile handbeg.. (harga satu handbeg diorang aku leh buat pegi Krabi seminggu untuk 2 orang ok! hahahha)..
Ade yg gile saving (yang ni patut di contohi.. huhuhu)..
Ade yg gile gadget..
Macam2 la jenis gila lagik..
And kalau ko boleh dapat semua.. makne nye itu baru kaya...
Macam aku nih kategori you win some you lose some la kan..
Nak gi holiday selalu so masih belom mampu nak pakai LV.. hehehe..

Akhir kata.. tak kisah la ape saja priority kita..
Yang penting bahagia..

PS: My prayers are for my friend, who's recovering from an operation.. Hope she has a speedy recovery.. And to all of us, at the end of the day.. what matters most is still our HEALTH!

Love from freo!

Hello peeps..

Live updates from Freo.. Hehe..

Okay.. I change my mind..

After 2 days, we're in love with both Perth and Fremantle.
Hehehe..

Yesterday, onece we've sort out our rooms, and qado' our sleep..
Baru nampak best Perth nih.. Hehehe..
I tell ou.. I was no fun walkin around the city lugging a 20 kilo and 7 kilo luggage.. Plus each of our own backpacks.. Kat kl pon aku tak pernah buat gile camnih.. Jgn kata kl.. Kat ayer tawar pon tak pernah.. Heheheh..

Nevertheless.. Kul 830 pagi semalam.. Kitaorg gi hostel tu and tinggalkan bags.. Baru la aman dunia sket nak jln2.. By 12 noon..Ingat kan bilik dah ready.. Tapi belom..
Sebab dah mengantuk sampai juling mata.. Kat sofa. Depan kaunter check in tu kitaorg bantai tido.. Ade aku kesah? Hehehe..

Nasib la melaun2 yg laly lalang kat situ.. Janji dapat tido.. Heavennn!

By 1 pm baru bilik kitaorg.. Baru dapat masuk bilik..
Legaaaaaa.. The room was ok.. Toilet is very clean..
Bilik boleh tahan besar with ensuite bathroom.. Ade tv, dvd, peti ais, air cond semua ade..
So takde la rase horror ke ape ke..
Tapi malam tadik tido still sendal meja kat pintu! Wakakakak..

Kitaorg bantai tido sampai petang..
Dekat kol 430 baru nak kuar balik..
Mase tuh hari pon dah nak malam..
And pekan dah nak sunyi balik kedai semua dah nak tutup..

Kitaorg beli makanan kat kedai arab.. Meat and fries + kebab.. Perggghhhhh..
Lazat berguling guling dapat makan ayam and daging.. Hahahahah..
Makan mmg mahal.. Sebab after a few meals.. Mmg dah leh bajet makan mahal..
So kitaorg pon dah stop converting after mcdonalds meal pagi tadik tuh..
Kata holiday.. Bila lagik nak feeling orang kaya kan.. Hahaha..

Pehtu tapa sushi plak kut2 lapa malam kang..

Harapan! Kul 8 malam dedua dok tahan ngantuk,,
Sebab rase over gile asek tido jek,,
Tapi aku rase by 830 aku dah gone dah.. Mmg tak larat ngantuk macam dah pukul 12 malam.. Padahal siang tadik dah bantai tido jugak kan.. Huhuhu..

Kul 530 pagi terjaga.. Dah terang benderang mcm kol 730 pagi kat malaysia.. Huhuhu..
Sambung tido sampai kol 9 kot.. Hehehe..

Ohhh.. The joy on being on a honeymoon..
I'm loving it!

So kesimpulannye.. Semalam hanya byk pusing2 perth city naik bas jek.. Hahahaha..
Kata bas free.. Asek la turun naik bas jek..
Ade 3 lines.. So kitaorg pon naik turun la tukar2.. Rase nak berenti kitaog turun..
Boring kang naik balik.. Kira abes la pusing satu hari semalam.. Hehehe..

perth mmg bandar yg sgt2 tenang.. As those family and frens yg dah pernah pegi citer kat aku..
We don't mind tenang.. Au pon pening kalau sesak2 ngan orang sgt.. Hehe..

By 6 pm mmg kitaorg dah selamat balik bilik balik..
Sebab aa tu kan byk org minum arak so better be save than sorry kan..

Now, i'm sipping my latte and having a cheese kat kat cappucino strip at fremantle..
I totally adore this small town..

Kat hotel takde wifi.. Kalau nak kena bayar so akak tak koser nyeh..

Tadik dtg naik river cruise.. Jap agi ni nak balik naik train pulak..

Will update more esok lusa ok..

Esok we're having our rental car.. So boleh memanjang kan langkah..
Nak pegi tgk kangaroos and kawan2.. Teringat and rindu sgt dah pada hiro and the geng,, huhuh,,seb baik ayong ade hantar mms.. :)

Have a wonderful working week peeps..
Esok lusa tulat tonggeng sampai nenek tonggeng akak cuti! Wahahahahahah..
Sila jeles ye.

Salam sayang dari Freo..

Good morning Perth!

OhmyGod.. Burung pon tak bangun lagik kot!!
Kalau kat malaysia sabtu pepagi bute nih aku masih bergulung2 dlm slimut dgn Hiro..huhuhu..

Kitaorang sampai on time..
Flight takde delay.. In fact.. Very efficient..

Cuma aku stress abb aku gatal2 amik window seat..
And kat isle seat u ade satu mamat nih.. Besar..
So bila aku nak kencing and dia tgh tido.. Leman tak kasik aku gi kencing ok!
Ini dah pencabulan hak asasi manusia nih.. Huhu..

Tapi mase bladder aku baru 65%, boleh la ko nak tahan2..
Bila dah sampai 99% aku bulldoze kan aje kaki dia.. Naseb la ko situ drpd aku terkencing kat seat lagik horrorka.. Huhu..

For this aussie trip.. Satu maggie or biskut pon aku tak bawak..
Sebab aku tau aussie strict giler..
Tapi aku tak boleh pe holiday tak bawak panadol and ubat selsema..
So mase nak isi bprang declaration tadik..
Memula letak no..(prohibited or resticted items like medicines)..
Pehtu macam takut kena fine.. Aku letak yes..

Pehtu bila lalu imegresen..
Encik tuh tanye..
What kind of medicines do you have zarina?

I have panadols!

Hahahahah.. Jawap kena yakin..
Terus encik tu cakap.. "ahh..panadols' fine (fine as in okay.. Bukan fine as in kena fine..hehe).. Pehtu dia mcm nak gelakkan aku sbb beria bawak panadol.. Dia kata kat sini pon ade jual.. Huhuhu.. Aku risau la, kot2 kat tempat org nih tak senang2 jek ko nak beli ubat at pharmacy ke kan.. So lepas tuh.. Mmg senang gile.. Langsung tak kena tahan..

Setel sema urusankat airport..
We took cab.. Aud36 tu our hostel..
Kalau naik bas pon dah rm32 utk 2 org.. S mmg berbaloi baloi a naik cab kan.. Unless ko sensorang lain la..

Bila sampai emperor's crown hoste tuh..
Aku rase macam nak mintak jek driver taxi tu bawak aku gi airport balik.. Aku nak balik malaysia.. Huuuwwwaaaa....

Huduh youolss...
Byk org mabuk and byk tin tin arak.. Kotor!
Akak tak pernah dok backpackers.. Ini pon amik bilk double ensuite.. So technically bilik u mcm hotel la juak..
Tapi surronding dia sgt scary..
Huhuhuhu..
I swear this will be the first and the last ok..

Kalau tak mengenangkan dah berbayor..nak jek kiaorg i carik hotel lain..
Nih harga backpackers 3 malam pon dah seribu lebih.. Terpaksa la haung jugak..

Pehtu yg lagik kesian.. Kuner check in pon bukak ade masa..
Sebab kitaorg sampai u kul 645 pagi.. Harus belom bukak kan youols..huhuhuhu..sambung nangis lagik..kaunter tu bukak pukul 830 kang..

So aku ngan leman pakat tarik soran satu beg besar..
Dah rupe macam pedagang nomad pon ade..

Tengah2 pekan tarik bag macam pelarian pon ade jugak..
Stresssssss ok!

Baru sampai utk honeymoon dah stress.. Hahahahaha..

Pehtu ingat nak naik bas yg free tuh.. Sekali bus service tu pon kol 845 pagi baru start.. Hhhuhuh..

Serius seram weih macam citer resident evil pon ade...
Pekan perth nih pepagi langsung takde tanda2 kehidupan..
Bila aku nampak jek org jalan.. Terus aku cakap kat leman.. Tu org jahat ke? Hhuhuh.. Scary..

After berjalan tanpa arah tujuan maybe dlm 800 meter, aku nampak tanda mcdonald..
Foooddddddd.. Ahamdulillah..
So dah selamat pekena egg muffin set and latte..
Mmg mahal a harga food kat sini..

Sama lebih kurang harga kita tapi duit diorang..
Mmg takleh main convert2 kalau tak sampai balik la aku tak makan.. Huhu..
And seb baik mcd dia ade wifi.. Wehuuu..

Sekarang kitaorg ade lah menghitung saat dan waktu..
Nak check in pon belom boleh.. So ade harapan meneruskan perjalanan nomad kami versi angkat bag naik bas..

Tapi adelah sangat sangat sangat mengantuk!
Uuwwwaaaa.. Bad planning lah kali nih..
Lain kali aku kena make sure sampai2 dpt hotel dulu..

Hope later would bring happier memories..
Taknak lah perth nih jadik first honeymoon yg tak best kan.. Huhuhu..
But i learnt my lesson.. No more backpackers.. Spent la lebih sket pon takpe asal selesa..

Aku rindu hiro.. Aku rindu klcc.. Aku rindu kota damansara.. Aku rindu malaysia..
Dan yg paling penting aku rindu rumah aku.. Uuwaaaaa... Ngantukkk.. Nak balik umah tido!

pS: leman dah tertido depan aku sambil topag dagu.. Hehe.. Kesian laki aku..

First class all the way..NOT!!

Hello peeps..

Live from Starbucks LCCT..

Pemilik blog ini adelag mengantuk nak mampos..
Confirm tidak boleh mengendalikan mesin atau kenderaan berat..
Confirm eksiden masuk gaung.. Huhu..

Check sudah selesai..
Ramai nak mampos manusia yg nak ke Perth..

Leman cakap: mesti diorang nih pon tertipu tiket murah macam kita!

Hahahahha.. Ape kah? Kang aku tinggal dia kat airport aku pegi honeymoon sensorang kang.. Hehe..

Anyway.. Sebab adelah baca kat mana tah.. Kalau nak gi aussie takleh web check in.. So dgn jujur nye telah beratur kat barisan yg panjang nak mampos.. Seb baik flight mmg lambat.. So takde la menggelupur kan.. Cuba letih lah nak beratur..

Sekali dtg amoi nih.. Suruh pegi self check in.. Sebab dia kata kaunter drop bag adelah byk.. So aku pon pegi la sekf check in tanpa tgk dulu barisan drop bag tuh.. Sekali panjang ok! Aku dah siap ajak leman kuar barisan.. Cinabeng punye amoi auta sama gue.. So satu round lagik berbaris and menunggu..

Sampai depan kaunter utk drop bag and document verification..
Kitaorg bawak 2 bag kan..
Satu tu mmg penuh la.. Satu tu kosong jek..
And dedua bag mmg dah wrapping..

Sekali bila timbang.. Bag yg first tuh 17.5 kilo..
Bag yg second tuh pon berat jugak.. Dalam 6 kilo..
Takde masalah nak hand carry sebab less than 7 kilo kan..
Tapi masalah nye dlm tu ade liquid items!


Haihhhh.. Stress akak macam nih nyeh.
Nak sumbat kat beg besar tuh,bag tuh kan dah siap bungkus..

Kaunter tu nak mintak rm40 per each extra kilo! Gileeeerrr..
Pehtu aku cakap la.. Kalau nak bayar baggage allocation utk sorang lagik tak leh ke (instead of charging excess baggage kan).. So dia nak mintak rm60..

Tak koser akak nak bayor nye..
Beg tuh kosong jek.. Worst case aku sacrifice jek la buang shampoo and conditioner baru aku..still tak sampai 60 hengget pon kalau beli baru kat sana nanti kan.. Huhuh..

Pehtu dia kesian plak tgk kitaorg terpisat2 kat situ (confirm dah kena maki ngan org2 belakang.. Keh keh).. Ade aku kesah? Wahhh.. Hehehhe.. Au kisah tau.. Sbb aku nih sgt considerate org nye.. (berat nih nak kena angkat bakul sendirik.. Hehe)..

Tapi tak cukup kesian utk bagik free jek.. Dia suruh kitaorg ketepi and susun balik barang.. Dia kata.. Burn jek la cost wrapping tuh.. Huhuhuhu.. So burn la 20 hengget aku.. Cuma satu tu masih partly intact wrappg dia.. Sebab aku sumbat2 brg2 liquid u kat poket depan.. And kunci poket depan tuh.. Satu lagik bag aku hand carry jek.. So tak payah la berkunci.. Ngam ngam jek 7 kilo bag tuh.. Huhuhuh..

So sekarang di starbucks.. Dah nak boarding dah kejap lagik.. Harap2 takde masalah la yer..

Tadik nak dtg sini pon dah la satu hal..
Hujan di petang jumaat sungguh tak rock ok..
Jam nak mampos sepanjang jalan!
From Kota damansara to lcct selalu tak sampai sejam pon.. Nih tadik lebih sejam setengah.. Huhuhuh..

I am sooooo glad aku ak jadik nak nyusah kan ayong suruh hantar kitaorg..
Amik budget air port limo.. Bayar jek rm72 hengget.. Setel..
Tapi sbb feeling kim kardashian aku kasik abang tuh 80 hengget terus keep the change.. Wahhhh.. Macam org kaya nih! Hhahah.. Takpe la.. Rezeki dia.. I'm just thankful that we've finally arrived in one piece..

Ok.. Dah nak masuk boarding..
Kami adelah seperti 2 orang zombie kampung pisang..

Mengantuk and letih tak hengat..
Rase macam nak detour singgah krabi dulu pegi buatbody massage sedas dua.. Huhuhu..

I've gave up trying to maintain hot (hot kew? Ptuih.. Heheh)..
Kat meja starbucks nih jek tadik aku cabut contacts lens..
Tak tahan dah nak tunggu ke bilik air pon..
Spec pon aku tak larat nak pakai.. Sebab spec aku belum adjusr power.. So power spec kurang than power contact lens..

So kejap lagik.. Kalau najib ngan rosmah lalu tepi pon harus aku tak nampak ok! Hhuhhuh..

Have a nice weekend youolss..
Xoxo

Mr & Mrs Mann's Bulan Madu 2011 starting soon

In a few hours time, insyaallah we'll be up in the sky.. hehe..
Sipping our margaritas and virgin mary..
wakakakakak...
 
Ye sgt la tu.. kang kena sambar kilat tak pasal jek kan. hehehe..
Minum air kosong yg over charge tu sajek..
 
Geram..
Sebab tak berjaya dapat upgrade..
Takmo kawan ngan optiontown tuh..
Lagik 5 hari baru dia pulangkan duit hopefully..
Sebab ade review dlm internet ckp lambat dpt duit..
Well, that's the risk I've considered when i accept they offer kan..
 
On a bright side..
Boleh menarik nafas legaaaaaaaa.....
It's been a hectic few weeks for me..
Gila2 busy sampai weekend pon buat keja kat umah..
And those who know me, will know that this is definitely not my style..
Even mase kat PwC pon i very rarely work weekend.. huhu..
But evertheless, my penat lelah is paid off..
Managed to settle ALMOST all assignments..
And thanking Allah for such sporting and understanding boss..
 
Enough about work..
 
I'm waiting for hubs to pick me up anytime now..
We need to go back home first to change and pick up our bags and pelok Hiro and the geng sampai penyet..
Gosh.. i miss them already.. especially si gemok yg takleh berlekang ngan mummy dia..
Semalam mase kemas bag pon..
Unlike his daddy yg busy main game kat depan.. dia ade duduk sebelah mummy teman mummy kemas bag..
Sambil buat muka kesian nak kena tinggal ngan maid 9 hari.. hehehehe.. ciann Hiro..
 
First time i travel yg rase macam tak ready..
Padahal tiket dah beli berbulan2 lama..
Tapi rase macam kelam kabut jek nak fly malam nih..
And gabra jek.. sebab tak prepare kot..
Tapi mengenang honeymoon kat Taiwan yg kitaorg tak reti bahasa tuh pon boleh idop..
so insyallah la Perth pon boleh kan..
 
After such hectic weeks.. I won't be surprise if besok sampai2 jek kitaorg hibernate dalam hotel room jek.. huhuhu..
 
Ok peeps.. See you from Down Under..
 
Cheers!

From Cherating with love

We shoot off to Cherating after work on friday..
Itu pon sempat balik umah mandi2 solat asar and amik bag..

It felt like the longest 3 hours of my life..
Dulu mase pegi club med Cherating ngan Ayong, rase mcm takde la lama sgt..
Nih dgn gelap nak mampos, ngan ujan sepanjang jln.. Ngan teringat cerita Karak (walaupon aku tak pernah tengok pon. Haha).. Takut la jugak..

Selamat sampai ke Legend Cherating.. 
Check in was smooth cause everything was confirmed and paid for.. (not by me obviously..hehe)..
Sebab mase tu ujan tgh lebat, and bilik ade lah jauh kat belakang..
Kitaorg terus gerak carik makan..

Malas nak pegi jauh2..
Ade kedai D'Cherating depan jalan tu..
We had nasik putih with tomyam seafood, ikan siakap 3 rasa, sayur kailan, telur bistik, ayam masak kicap and air for 6 people..
Total bill was only RM60!
berkali kali aku tanye leman diorang nih dah kira ikan ke belom? Sebab rase mcm murah gile makan 6 org kan.. Hehe..

Then balik bilik..

And the reviews in Tripadvisor were right..

The hotel and rooms were indeed HORRIBLE!!!

Kengkadang aku malas nak percaya sgt review2 dlm internet tu..
Sebab kengkadang mmg mat salleh mat salleh nih ngengada sikit kan..
Takde la horror sgt hotel tu tapik reviews mcm dok umah hantu..

Tapi review kali nih byk org malaysia yg letak..
And baru2 plak tuh.. And semua teruk2..
So aku mmg dah tak letak expectation lah..
Sebab slalu org malaysia nih tak ngengada mcm org putih.. Hehe..
Seb baik tak put expectations pon..

Sebab mmg teruk pon hotel Legends Cherating tuh.. Huhuhuuhu..
For the 4 stars they claim tu be, aku rase 3 star pon belom tentu aku nak bagik lagik kot..
Hotel and rooms (we booked 2 deluxe rooms) were looking rundown..
With bau hapak yg tak sedap.. Plus the shower really reminds me of horror movies.. Bila tutup jek langsir shower tu rase mcm claustrophobic gile.. Haha.. Tune hotel punye bilik air lagik lawa kot..

Anyway, kalau korang ade teringin nak pegi cherating, sila carik hotel lain.. The best would definitelt be club med.. A class on its own.. Tapi budget dia pon confirm la tinggi kan.. Hotel lain aku tak sure.. Residence inn nampak cantik la drpd luar.. 

Tapi kalau dah booked at legend.. Takpe la.. Focus on all the other good things of your holiday.. This would be quality time spend with love ones, good food.. Great company.. Hehe..

On Saturday, we started our day with breakfast at Kedai kopi Hai Peng @ Kemaman.. Kemaman is only 10 minutes from Cherating.. And this kedai kopi is famous..

But personally i think it is over rated.. Food was good but slightly on the expensive side.. But we did return on the next day..hehe.. So confirm la sedap tu kan..

Aku amik nasik dagang.. Tapi kecewa.. I have had better tasting nasik dagang especially kat kota baru and kuala tganu.. Pehtu rase leman nye nasik lemak lauk ikan.. Sedappppp.. Terus taknak makan nasik dagan and amik nasik lemak ikan.. Hehe..

Other than that.. Nescafe dia mmg aku terbayang2.. And toasted bun kaya dia pon aku terbayang2 jugak.. Hehe..

Balik dari Kemaman.. Kitaorg pegi naik hafiz mangrove river cruise.. 2 thumbs up.. Memang berbaloi baloi.. Rm20 sat kepala.. Tapi dia pusing jauh and lama.. And boleh tgk binatang2 dekat..

Setiap kali dia spot biawak tgh berehat atas pokok.. Dia manouver boat tuh betul2 kepala aku selari ngan perut biawak ok.. Aku hampir terkuncil kat situ.. Huhu.. 

Pehtu jumpa ular pulak.. Pon aku selari bawah ular.. Kalau ular tuh tergelincir mmg elok elok lah aku boleh buat topi.. Huhuhuh.. Rase nak nangis pon ade.. Rase nak terberak dlm suar pon ade.. Ahahahha..

Abah aku plak.. Mase tuh la dia dok sebuk nak sebut2 pasal cerita anaconda la.. Ape la.. Haihh.. Sabo jek la.. Hehe..

Tapi mmg best la the experience.. Rase mcm sgt intouch with nature gitu.. Hehe..

Lepas tuh.. Kitaorg pon dah ngantuk balik and balik hotel untuk berehat2..

Petang tu late lunch kat warung otak2 che wan..

Overdose on otak2 and sata.. And also keropok lekor.. Soooo superbbbbb...
Sebelom tuh pulak dah tapau Stuff crab from tong juan seafood restoran.. Super duper best ok.. Mmg kenyang sampai ke petang.. Hehe..

Balik hotel balik.. And mase nih dah start ujan lebat..
So lepak2 kat lobby hotel jek..

Me + ayong + abah tried batik painting at the hotel.. Rm20 per pax.. Sgtttttttt berbaloi baloi.. Hehehe.. Painting sambil menghadap laut.. Rase mcm a kind of therapy.. 

Yg tak best nye.. Bila nak balik tadik..dah half way kat highway baru teringat yg kitaorg tertinggal paintings tu kat hotel.. Huuuuwwaaa... Kecewa.. Tak sempat tgk hasil masterpiece masing2.. Hehehe.. We're definitely gonna do it again..

Malam tuh dinner at duyong restaurant..after reading good reviews at the internet.. Tapi agak kecewa.. Food takde la sedap sgt (except the ikan siakap and baby kailan).. Tapi mahal nak mampos.. The tomyam was a disgrace.. Sotong pon tak fresh..mmg tak luak la tomyam malam tu..

Ahad was spent again having breakfast at kedai kopi hai peng.. And sebelom balik tuh singgah kedai2 yg jual keropok2 and other stuffs..

All in all.. A very relaxing and happy holiday..

Tapik a very busy work week waiting ahead..huhu..

Have a great week ahead everyone
