Date: Dec 4 2010

Places visited: Queen Victoria Market, Bali Bagus Rest @85 Franklin St , Bediuzzaman Said Cultural Foundation, Smith St, Fitzroy Garden, Cook’s Cottage, South Warf DFO, Essendon DFO, Sawadees Thai Rest @ 139 Little Bourke St China Town, Southbank

We kawtim with Jimmy (the guide) and modified the original itineraries: slashing visit to places that we can go on our own and adding few, agreed by all.

This time, let the pictures do the talking.

1st stop - QVM where everything is cheap from fresh local produces to souvenir

Rest Bali Bagus - ya, bekas nasi dlm flask biru itu

@Fitzroy Garden, huge park, nyaman - teringin nak jadi family Cpt Cook tapi awat muka daku mcm bapok disitu?

belakang rumah Cpt Cook ada herbs garden and pokok epal ijau

all of us di dapur rumah Cook and cuba teka sapa pernah wakil majikan dlm acara sukan? ishh

wajah murni selepas solat*perasantan* maka harus selalu solat:)

introducing Mr Jimmy, he own the coach company, speaks veli bloken and pelat english. @Smith St where soooo many you can say sports based brand outlet. You can go crazy in Reef and Baldiland, dirt cheap.

you know me right? brand new Reef flip flop, love it, love it

got to say goodbye to my cute baby blue flats. rosak habis. i bought it @ primark in uk for 6pound only. sedey.. tp best ah jadi flats tu, made in china i guess, jual di uk, balik mesia, mati di melb.. for a flats.. what more can u ask for?

@ South Waft DFO (direct factory outlet). Sale jugak.

dah pukul 5pm++ masa ni, we actually ask Mike and Raslan do the talking to Mr Jimmy to bring us to Essendon sbb nak borong correlle and sorts (kalau pergi sendiri harus patah tangan nak angkut barang naik train) keywords ialah worldkitchen. Tapi they mentioned DFO. Jimmy bawa kami ke sini, obviously tak de worldkitchen disini. So pujuk Jimmy (girls jugak yg pujuk) and he said 'but you only got like 1/2 hour there. Its OK!! it took 1/2 hour to reach Essendon, kedai tutup @6pm. Bayangkan kami membeli dgn lajunya!!

antara hasil dari Essendon.

later in our room, see. ala.. org kirim..:)

Dinner @Sawasdee. Food was maebeles!!! tapi mahal la. sbb makan free kami happy:)

lepas letak barang kat hotel, merambu di southbank, seberang sungai.. mlm minggu yg happening.. masa ni belum lagi.. bila dah happening camera pon bongek, tak leh shoot malam..blerrghhhhh

Date: Dec 5 2010

Places visited: St Kilda beach, Rest Nelayan @Swanston St, Philip Island: Maru Koala & Animal Park, Panny Choc factory, San Remo, Coves, The Nobbies, Panguin Parade

We woke up early, and after bf (mantapau sebanyak mungkin makanan utk trip ke Philip Island) off to St Kilda! Oh I did remind kepada yg nak ikut kena gerak awal bg mengelak panas. It was summer already and whats the point of going to the summer hot beach? Minus the skimpy clad chicks and six packs heroes, rasa panas macam kat Malaya saja nanti. Lagipun Sunday morning ni mana ada mat/minah salleh sunbathing, semua lelap sebab lst night mlm minggu. Since yg lain masih golek2 dibilik, kami ber6 saja cargas!.

st kilda sunday market baru nak bukak kedai, sejuk i tell you tapi abg sebelah tu pakai short.. potong kan!

among my fav photos @St Kilda pier

raslan di apit aweks

kami menapak sepanjang pier, kat sini pon ada penguin celah2 batu tu!

descending.. melb city dikejauhan

Nearly 12am mentari dah terik, kami angkat kaki. Ronda city and lunch di Nelayan Rest @Swanston St. Lepas lunch ronda lagi sampai fenat dan menunggu Jimmy yg akan datang @3pm!. Smalam, semua agreed to tong tong sewa satu van ke Philip Island! it coast us AUD100 each, tak le murah mana compare to other tour tapi boleh personalized.:)

Maru Koala & Animal Park, Koala sombong, tidur atas pokok, malas akak layan.sedangkan kucing pon saya tak berapa gemar, inikan kangaroo.. busuk.

kemudian singgah di kilang cheloket (iman says so). oh kilang ini own by Malaysian

singgah di San Remo, birds feeding, Jimmy belikan roti. aman damai di sini. hati nangis teringat Iman, bayangkan dia yg melompat itu.

The Coves (go gugle), tak nampak halal rest. so kami bukak bekal, we had dinner with the birds, sedapnya layan salmon sandwich..hhehe. Sempat main air dan berbaringan layan perasaan. super duper nyaman....

fav photo @Nobbies with Kak Has

saaaangat cantik, they built wood path-walk so that you can enjoy the clift to the max and see sarang beburung without pijak rumput. angin saangat kuat, seeejuk yg amat, love this place...

kegayatan sebenarnya disitu.

last destination, Penguin Parade @ Summerland Beach!! camera is only allowed up to this point. Si kecil penguin sgt sensitip kononnya.

We sat on the tiered seating on the beach and just before the lilght of day is completely gone, we hear a voice cry: "Look! Over there!" And necks crane, eyes strain hard to see. It is impossible to recognise what it is in the water. A head, a beak perhaps, a tiny wing. No sooner is the first cry heard when it is followed by another. Yes, there’s something there, some movement, something ... and suddenly not just one but many. They have had their day foraging out at sea and now they are coming home. They walk across the sand in small groups, as if in a triumphant march, and head for their home in the dunes.On the way back, we saw many more very near the path-walk, like you can touch them! Arghh so cute i bet Iman will jump off the pathwalk and grab them if he is here.

Oh acted macho pakai selipar jepun kan..bawak cardigan nipis.. akhirnya kesejukan yg amats, tumpang shawl Kak Izan dan berkait kaki tumpang haba... Super duper sejuk!. Angin laut lepas artik ke antartik ntah.. + at dusk.. menggigil.

We reached hotel nearly midnight. fenat, puas. Hati gumbira, tidur dgn senyum. can you feel me?
