Sydney, Australia (August 2006)

23:14

Our flight to Sydney was at 8pm+.. so Hubby went to work and I took leave.. ye la memandangkan aku ni kalau dah keja... boleh miss the flight la... My brother sent us to KL Sentral and it was a Formula One ride.. tah kenapa traffic was very bad that day.. anyway we manage to sampai KL Sentral 5 minutes before the check in counter closed.. kalau tak mau tehegeh hegeh heret beg pegi KLIA..

Lepas dah check in, we took ERL to KLIA and sampai sana dalam 6.30pm.. we had light dinner and head straight to boarding gate.. Disebabkan Little D ni pendek lagi so aku tak nak la lalu ikut auto gate and we were looking for manual counter.. tapi adala satu kakak ni dok tunjuk kat aku sambil cakap "Foreign passport the other side.." yang aku ni pon buat tak tau la.. ye la bila pulak aku ni foreigner kan.. tapi dia dok sebut lagi, dekat 5-6 kali.. at last aku pon agak la deni mesti dok ingat aku arab.. so aku pon cakap la "we are malaysian passport holder" baru la yang kakak tu pon "oohhh.. sini la.. boleh lalu auto gate ni.." la... yang aku ni punya la nak carik bukan auto gate sebab si kenit tu.. tapi takpa la, aku pon dah malaih nak bertekak lalu la kat auto gate tu..

We arrived Sydney the next day, 8 hours flight... keras jugak la bontot.. habih semua movie aku tengok.. Sampai tu, lalu custom and declare our belongings.. keluark airport, masya Allah, punya la freezing cold!! Ye la, mau tak cold, 8C! Kita biasa 30C mana la tahan... Little D lain pulak cerita, seronok dok nganga mulut dia.. ye la keluar asap kan, sejuk!

We took cab to Hilton Sydney and was given an upgraded room.. ni syok keja ngan international chain, dah la bilik murah (team member rate) dapat extra lagi.. Masuk bilik ja, aku terus knock out.. Little D and Hubby busy snapping pictures..
That evening we planned to walk down to Darling Harbor tapi disebabkan Little D lelah (sebab sejuk sangat) we detour back to hotel and waited for Gary & Sae for dinner instead.. They brought their little one.. Justin Long...
We had Malaysian food, nasi goreng la, satay la.. tah apa apa, pi punyala jauh, carik benda yang ada kat sini gak.. Anyway, we had a blast that night.. I have not seen Sae for quite sometime and the meeting was good.. Well Sae was actually still dalam confinement tapi dia keluark gak jumpak kitorang sebab aku tanak pi rumah dia.. Gila! rumah dia ada puppy! Eeee.. tanak aku..
2nd day
We went to Sydney Harbor, amik ferry to Sydney Zoo.. Nice journey! We took a lot of pics passing by the Opera House and Sydney Bridge.. sampai zoo, we took cable car to go up.. cantik zoo dia and very the big.. Kitorang jalan from 9am till 5pm.. tu pun tak abih pusing!!
Lam ferry on the way back to hotel, Little D telena pulak so takkan la nak jalan kan, mau patah tulang Hubby dukung dia.. so we took bus..

Masa nak naik tu aku tanya la driver bus tu..

"Does this bus pass by Hilton?"

"Yes"

So aku pon amik la syiling and because it is not our money, aku pon tehegeh-hegeh la kan.. and you know what he said to me?

"This is ridiculous!.. mumble, mumble... " aku pon dah naik angin, jawap la balik, "Yeah! and you are just a bloody bus driver!!"
Langsung tesengap dia.. kerek tah apa apa tah... geram btoi aku.. so anyway, we board the bus.. Because it was full, aku ngan hubby split, aku kat belakang, hubby kat depan.. I was looking out for Hilton sebab aku tau yang bus tu lalu btoi btoi depan hotel... tapi makin lama makin dalam bus tu pegi.. so aku pon panggil la hubby, aku bagi indication yang aku rasa kami ni dah sesat.. hubby said to hang on and may be the bus will make a turn to city.. memang la dia akan balik ke city, but then when??

Makin lama makin jauh.. so I told hubby we better stop here and take another bus back to the city.. we stop at one university tu aku pon dah tak ingat nama dia.. We crossed the road and saw 1 Indonesian restaurant.. and we were so hungry, so we stop to eat nasi lemak before taking bus back to the city.. And that night we slept like a dead log!!


3rd day
Sydney Aquaria! It was a huge place!! semua tempat kat Sydney ni aku rasa besark - besark la.. we had a blast!! macam macam aku tengok.. we bought a few souvenirs from the shop, hubby bought cap.. and I bought a t-shirt for myself and Little D..
Hubby took loads of pics sampai to the extend Little D naik bosan.. "Abah ni, skit-skit amik gambar, skit-skit amik gambar!.." Sampaikan bila Hubby panggey nama dia for something else pon, dia dah "cheeseeeeeeee..." sampai camtu pukulan abah dia amik gambark... But it's all for memories, bukan ari-ari kita pi sydney kan..


Ari ni kami dah pandai skit, we took bus back to Hilton.. and we tak sesat! Yes!! We had fried rice in the room and all I can tell you, if you ever go to Sydney, please don't order their fried rice, sucks big time ok!! I had chocolate ice cream, that was nice..

4th day
We went for whale watching.. wild whale ok.. it's 85aud for adults and 40aud for kid.. we depart to open sea with quite a big boat.. masa mula mula tu aku ok lagi tapi bila dah sampai tengah, perut aku mula buat hal and in the end aku muntah bagai nak rak, seasick!!! and last nya aku tidork saja kat lower deck tu.. and all I can hear was people cheering bila nampak whale tu..
When I was a bit ok aku bangun carik hubby and Little D.. Rerupanye, kenit tu pon pengsan gak, muntah belilak.. the only survivor was hubby, tu pun lepaih habih satu botoi minyak cap kapak dia palit kat kepala dia.. tapi hampeh, bukan nya dia amik gambark, sibuk dok menjerit tiap kali nampak whale tu.. last last nya langsung dapat ekor je...
Tapi aku tak la malu sangat sebab seasick ni, pasai ada lagi mat saleh yang badan cam wrestler pon tekangkang kat ataih lantai, muntah bagai nak rak..
Malam tu kitorang order room service je (again) and went out to the souvenir shop next to the hotel to buy some stuff for family back home. Spent about 1,000 over RM just to buy souvenir!! tapi tak pa bukan selalu mai Sydney kan..

5th day
The next morning, we went to Hyde Park for a walk and took some great pics, balik tu breakfast ngan Gary and had chat with Leoni.. She's the one who took care of my stay in Hilton Sydney.. Naik tu, isi borang banci, yeap, we had to fill one as well.. Pack of our stuff and left for airport to balik Malaysia... We took a cab from hotel and the driver was a Lebanese.. He was friendly and told us stories bout his family, diorang migrate from Lebanon to Sydney when he was young and he's now married to a Lebanese woman..
Sampai airport we had a light lunch, kebab... and bought some more souvenir.. Claim the tax for all the items we bought and board the plane... Soyanara Sydney, till we come again....
