Port Stephens, New Castle

This is at Newcastle, NSW Australia.. we are still in Aussie mate~ ^^ around this place, we can go for sandboarding, dolphin and whale watching and lots more. this is my first time trying to play sandboarding. trust me, it was effin fun! but it was effin tired too because the sand hill was quite high and I dont really feel like climbing it for second time though..hahah and somehow, I wonder how people can survive in the middle of the desert.. though it was during winter season, this place is freaking hot in terms of the sun lighting onto the skin but it was cold and chilly too.. and you wont be disappointed with the scenery..

the picture below was about my trip with my uni mates. I got myself a free koala because I managed to answer the quiz given on the bus..hehehhe and pictures of me with my new korean and taiwan friends.. :D but i am soooo bad at remembering people's names..luckily i still remembered my cohort friends' name.. Ezalia..hehehehe this was one of the best memories I had in Aussie.. ^^

Vivid Sydney

This is an annual event that happens near winter.. and it was during malaysian school holiday too if i am not mistaken.. only at this time you can see the opera house turn into splendid view with unique design being flash onto it. They also changed the design every year so you wont be bored thinking that they will have the same show every year ^^ hehehhe

Auburn, Sydney

This was a trip to Auburn.. This place is sort of a middle-east area.. You can have arabic cuisine here such as baklava, pavlova, pizza, kebab and they are all worth travelling for..hahahah and you can also find a mosque here in this area.. Besides that, there is also a bookshop where you can get your hand on hadith books, sirah, books for children and lots more.. the shops are all around the train station and you can find it easily while strolling down the lane ^^

Blue Mountain, Sydney

My First International Students Trip 

Why do you think this mountain is known as Blue Mountain? haaaa! Does anyone know the reasons? hehehe

This picture is free from any editing..and as you can see in the above picture, the sky is as blue as an ocean.. I would not know the real reason my self but I think it would be because of the sky itself. The blue sky made the mountain look blueish right? maybe the local had derived the name 'Blue Mountain' from the colour of its background..Maybe? 

Here, you can see 'three sisters stone' behind my back.There is a legendary story behind why the stone is called as three sisters.. In my opinion, the story is a bit similar to the legendary story of Gunung Mat Cincang at Langkawi..

The story of the three sisters started with a few groups of aborigines tribe and there is this three beautiful sisters. The tribe were fighting with each other and to save the sisters, their tribe withdoctor turn them into stones with hope that after he finished dueling with the other tribe, he will remove the spell..but the witchdoctor ended up perished in the battle and the sisters remained as stones forever...now, Don't you think the story is a bit similar to our own legendary story too? heheheh

If you are interested with the story, you can read it in details here 

This is the pictures from inside Jenolan Cave which is situated near the Blue Mountain... In this cave, they have a rock formation that gave similar effect to a music room/ orchestra hall... We did have the chance to listen to a song inside this cave and it does sounded like we were in a concert hall.. haha

Featherdale Wildlife Park

In my previous post, I was comparing Taronga Zoo with Featherdale Wildlife Park.. and now, here it is ^^

In Featherdale, you can also feed the kangaroo...There are also other animals that can be seen and played with. The above picture was my first visit to Featherdale Park with my cohortmates...

And the pictures below were my 2nd visit together with my family in the year of 2012. My parents together with my extended family including cousins were there for a holiday and at that moment, it was the beginning of winter. They wanted to experience cuddling the koala and kangaroo, so I brought them here because this place is much cheaper and gave much richer experience with Aussie animals. ^^

As you can see in the picture below, there are several attempts made to sabotage the kangaroos..hahahah Both my uncles and my dad tried their best to put their hands in the kangaroo pockets but failed.. LOL (kidding!) if they were ever did that, i'm sure all of em will be knock down by the roos..hahaha

 But they really tried their best to hug the kangaroo..I guess now they felt happier after experiencing the Aussie life..hahahah

And our trip for that day ended here...This place is quite far from Sydney City and it will be easier to rent a car to get to this Wildlife Park. That is why they had prepared a city zoo at Darling Harbour to make it easy for tourist but it is also quite pricy..hehehe 

Taronga Zoo

oh my~ I miss going sight seeing like this.. This is Taronga Zoo which is situated on the shores of Sydney Harbour in the suburb of Mosman. You can get to here either by bus or by ferry... Personally, I would prefer taking a ferry at Circular Quay to get to Mosman. Their zoo is SUPERB! When I was at Taronga zoo, I felt like I was on another island because I can see sydney city from the zoo. It is a very big zoo.. There are quite a few zoo in Sydney and each zoo gave you different types of experiences. If you wanted to cuddle the koala or kangaroo freely, it would be best to visit Featherdale Wildlife Park. The wildlife park is similar to a farm. Though you can hold them freely, but there are animal poops everywhere.. For a first timer, you wont notice the surrounding because you are too excited looking at the animals.. that is the case with me too.. LOL but at Taronga Zoo, it is more sophisticated and everything is very clean.. You can also cuddle the kangaroo or koala but you have to pay for it at different price. At Taronga Zoo, they have different types of animal shows and i like all of em! It was fun spending time at the zoo..haha You are never too old to visit a Zoo..hehehe 

ROARRRR!!

Hey handsome~~~  :P

Gorgeous! 

Socceroos Vs Harimau Malaya

hoyeahhh!! I was part of the crowds when Harimau Malaya went to Australia for a friendly match with Aussie team, Socceroos.. Malaysian students were provided with if not mistaken around 4+/- buses to get us to Canberra to watch the game. I don't really like football.. but the only team that I will support no matter what is Hijau Kuning (semangat Kedah itu haruss!) and Harimau Malaya if they were competing with other countries..I just loveee my country only...hahaha Despite losing the game, I still enjoyed our trip to Canberra for the sake of my country..acewah! haha The spirit of all Malaysian on that night was categorized as ON FIRE~~!! haha but there is this one weird aussie etiquette in the stadium.. you are not allowed to make noise.. everyone was watching the soccer match like they were following stock updates... but different to Malaysia teams, we were in high spirit of singing our harimau malaya song and all.. some of the aussie do feel uncomfortable with the noise and they did give us a few eye signals but some also tried to understand our culture especially the youngsters and they joined the group in charge of singing the song to sing as well.. it was fun and this my first stadium i visited in Aussie that was in Canberra...hahhaha after that, I did visit another stadium which was Sydney Olympic Park...quite a few time..ehehehhe but the picture below was just a mere visit to relax myself during the night..heheheh no special event at that moment i visited Olympic Park.. for the shopperholic, Direct Factory Outlet (DFO) is just nearby from this place.. :P
