Melbourne for dummies..=P

Assalamualaikum n selamat sejahtera..^_^

Nak dipendekkan cerita(nampak sgt tahap kemalasan yang amat utk mengarang..hohoho), minggu lepas selama 4 hari 3 malam, ak telah berkonferens di Melbourne, Australia..ahaks..Perkara-perkara yang perlu dilakukan sebelum bertolak iaitu plg kurang 3 minggu sebelum tarikh berlepas adalah:-

1. beli flight ticket
• time ni AirAsia ade promotion to Melbourne (around 1.5k tuk pergi n balik, so not bad la..save cost..hehe). Perjalanan around 8hours, be prepared tuk kaki cramp n lenguh lam flight n tempah mkanan siap2 if penerbangan waktu siang k spya perut anda tidak berkeroncong lam flight..errr
2. booking hotel
• byk pilihan hotel n backpackers (malaysian hall, quest hotel, etc...) tuk stay kat cna, tp yang diidamkan selalunye penuh, so better booking awl2 k. ktrg guna booking.com tuk cari otel. n my advice, 1. tnye whether hotel yang diplih tu ade kenakan deposit or not (sbbnye ktrg terkena bila nk check in tu, dia mintax deposit RM500 tuk apa2 kerosakan sepanjang penginapan, if xde duit tu akn dipulangkan balik time check out..huhu). 2. tgk jugak waktu check in jam brapa spy korunk leh terus check in or plan nk buat ape if xsampai masa check in lg..
3. buat passport 
• aku wat di Urban Transformation Center (UTC) Puduraya..credit to Mr.Tedy as he accompany me at d first day to go there..^_^, n d next day sepanjang hari ak tunggu sebab ramai giler yang nk buat passport di hari weekend..huhu
4. VISA 
• yang ni kena tgk kat website https://www.eta.immi.gov.au/ETA/etas.jsp n wat online pon boleh tp kena ade credit card..if not bleh mintax tolong travel agent yang buatkan.
5. time
• kat cna adalah 3jam awl dr negara kite..means pkul 7pm Msia bersamaan kul 10pm kat cna..n make sure that waktu solat dah tau awal2 dah..leh google dah siap2 msa kat Msia ag..lg satu arah kiblat klu yang mane ade android leh la guna tp klu yang xde, beli kompas siap2, kat Mydin pon ade xsilap..walau kat mana2 pon kite, solat jgn tggal, even lam flight skalipon..=)
6. check musim kat cna
• ni bukan Malaysia yang xde 4 musim, so check skrg di cna musim ape..kebetulan time ak pergi pertukaran musim sejuk ke musim panas, so suhu xde la xtreme sgt berbanding Malaysia..hari pertama hujan n tersgtlah sejuk around 10degree kot, ari kedua so-so means leh jln2 la walaupon still sejuk..but hari ke3 panas mcm cuaca di Malaysia..so, pakaian ak xde la kena beli lain and dah save budget dah..hehe..bwak sweater n kot dah ckup dah tuk than sejuk ..xperlu baju bulu kambing etc ect..haha
7. tukar duit
• currency Australia (AUD) adalah lebih mahal dr Malaysia, masa ak pergi ni currency dia around 1AUD = RM2.95..so, bile p kat money changer tu dia amik RM900 for 300AUD. Ak tukar 200aud jer n 100aud for back-up tuk stay cna for pengangkutan n makanan. Its more than enough, dgn syarat beli sekadar keperluan..=)
8. buat check list barang yang perlu dibawa
• Australia agak strict dgn barang2 yng dibwa dr negara luar. So, check dlu ape barang yang boleh dibawa n xleh dibwa spy nnti bile sampai di imegresen cna, barang anda xkn dibuang. Ak bwak instant noodle n sardin dlm tin je..tu pon meggi ak xabis, bwak balik M'sia smula..hehe..sb kat cna ktrg beli roti n telur n Nutella(murah kot Nutella kat cna, tu yng ak beli bwak balik M'sia..hoho), so ari2 ak mkn roti n telur n Nutella..turun 1kg..hahaha 
• oh, wet tissue or botol air kosong (yang leh dilipat2) jgn lupe sbb kat cna toiletnye xde air k kecuali kat sinki..harap maklum, ak rs mcm M'sia jer yang ade air lam toilet..hoho..tp ktrg leh je survive..small matter ah..=)
• universal charger- sebbnye plug negara diorg lain dgn kite, so beli kat kedai tu pastikan plugnye adalah negara Australia k..=)
9. inform bank
• bgtau bank simpanan duit yang korunk akn ke luar negara sbbnye nnti spya kad atm korunk boleh dibaca di negara luar n duit leh dikeluarkn..tp ade kad kredit or kad debit lg senangla..tp if xde, leh je survive..^_^
10. roaming
• roaming membolehkan kite berhubung dgn org lain/yang tersyg samada dlm negara mahupon luar negara mnggunakan no. telefon yang sedia ade. tp bayarannye agk mahal la..its optional tp just in case, better buat..we dont know what will happen kn..
11. enjoy the trip!!
• pastikan anda tahu y anda nk p travel k nk p bercuti..if nk travel, make sure stamina ckup kuat, especially kaki, sbbnye mmg akn bykkkk berjalan kat cna..even ktrg leh jalan setengah jam lebih (ok, tu pon sbb sesat..errr)..but xtually its a great xperience to know other side of people than in ur country n know their culture, their attitude n so forth..just enjoy it..^_^

tu je la kot ak rs yang perlu tp if tertinggal, harap maaf..hehe..so, just enjoy the pics k..^_^

Bukit Tinggi.."Malaysia mimic oversea"

Assalamualaikum n greetings..its been a very long time i didn't brainstorm to write this blog..lots of things happened, but just remain silent in memory. Hoping that those stories will be remembered for a long long time..hopefully..

but now, lets get a short introduction..its better, isn't it??less grammatical mistakes i think.. ermmm..

So, here was the story, last month which was on November 2013, my friend Dahlia was married. The ceremony took place in Bentong, Pahang. So, all together were 5 people, Fahmi, d driver n his car, Muaz, Kak Suhana, Dedey n me were all going to that wedding. On our way back, its like kill two birds with one stone, we all went to Bukit Tinggi..thanks to our friend Fahmi really generous and didn't complaint too much about the road. It was 30-45mins from Tol plaza Bentong to KL (as I remembered)..So, we went by following Waze Dedey n signboard  along the way..

After a snakelike road, finally we arrived at the front gate of Bukit Tinggi. To go in there, we need to pay RM12 per person. So, one whole cars were RM60..Just enjoy the picture..and my tips are if you want to go here, make sure u have a good stamina and please don't wear high heels..errrr..

with our colleague Dahlia..its her wedding!!

 

Selamat Pengantin Baru dear!!
