Melbourne Day 1

Finally I am doing this!! I've been trying so hard to remember every single thing and now its a release because i can throw all the memory here. Apologize in advance that i took so long, things getting really busy lately.. 

We depart from KL at 23 May 2230. We took AirAsia Flight because its not only cheap but it offer the best timing. What i meant by best timing was, we gonna arrive at Melbourne in the morning approximately 0800 and we suppose to come back at 28 May but because there is a flight back to KL at 29 May  1230 in midnight so we can enjoy one more day in Melbourne.

Lets start up with the MUST HAVE picture when you go travel. We are lucky enough that thou we didn't select the sits while booking the air ticket but we were arranged to sit together and its besides the window!! Another tips here, if you are going somewhere in 3 person, you don't really need to book the sits because the sits is usually 3 in a row right.. But of course you can book because there is always exception. So select the sits itself you need to pay extra RM 40 for each person.

Before departing. 

In the plane..

Its a perfect time for reading isn't it? "Rich Dad Poor Dad" recommended by a senior long time ago.  

Meanwhile, we also had the pre-ordered airline meal where we order while booking the air ticket. My mum jwas so worried that we got starving. But in fact, we just had something right before we depart and my flight was 1030 pm and we have to eat again at around 1230 or 1 am. But its a good try anyway. So we ordered Chicken Lasagna (me), Chicken Teriyaki (sis) & Chicken Rice (mum). All sounds so heavy huh. So if you are going for a trip with Air Asia and wondering what to order, i highly recommend you to try out their Chicken Lasagna! Its really good if you like cheesy stuff. Chicken Rice was unexpectedly taste good as well thou it looks kinda awful. Chicken Teriyaki not so good but i guess its most healthy among all. 

Following is what i said earlier, the must have pic!! 

We depart at night so we couldn't see anything. BUT, we do see the MOON and STARS.. which is really breathtaking.. Its like so close to you.. Thou i didn't have any pro gadget to capture it down but.. i guess i'll gonna remember that for life.. So this is the sun rise pic! 

This is where we about to land.. 

Going through the cloud.. 

Ladies and Gentleman, here i present to you.. Melbourne!

This is what i first saw when i step out from the airport. 

So we actually took the.. not sure how its suppose to be called but i think its something like Ground tour or Land tour from Mayflower. The difference between Ground tour and Tour Guide or Group travel package is you do not have a Tour Guide to guide you from the airport itself to the pick up bus and so on. Taking ground tour like us you have to book your air ticket by your own, and also find the pick up people on your own. But it is relatively cheaper and more flexible where you do not have to follow their specific date, you can go whenever its suits your schedule. Because usually if you are taking those group travel package, they'll state a specific date so you must follow their schedule. Overall we took this has save up RM 10,000 compare to the Group travel package. And you can actually learn a lot more things compare to the Group one because you need to be more independent and do more research. Which i think its totally worth it for 10k. 

Had a little trouble of finding the pick up bus but there is a very sweet woman to help us. And this is the first pic in the bus with some brochure. Typical tourist! 

So Day 1 is actually free and easy. After they pick you up from airport to hotel, you have one whole day to explore the city. But its all on you own. At first you might think its sort of scary or insecure because you are first day there and you don't know where to go how to go. But reason why they set free and easy for the first day is because you do not have to rush from airport to hotel then straight away start the tour, sometimes your flight might be delay or something happen.. who knows right? So it was actually fine for them to do so. 

When you reach the hotel you can chill for a while first after long hours of flight. But normally you won't do that for too long because you will definitely feel so excited to look around the city! 

Left is what i wore on plane and right is what i wore for Day 1

After so long, i still feel so excited to blog about this. Lets begin! 

First day first step out of hotel, we already met a very nice old ladies to help us took this photos. Who said they are racist to Chinese? Such a beautiful beginning. Anyway this is just right outside of the hotel that i stay.

This is what i see every day  just right after I walk down the street from the pic above. Melbourne is really impressive because it is really really beautiful in every single corner. 

 Yes no doubt! You'll see this on the street! When my friend browse through my phone photos shes like: YOU SEE THIS IN JUST NORMAL STREET? 

 You'll see a lots of street name picture along because it proved that we walked!! 

So beautiful until i feel like crying.. Its so touched that how a city can be so insanely beautiful..T.T

So through the ground tour in Mayflower, there is a list of hotel that you can choose. They have hotel from 3 star up to five star, again its all depends on your own budget. Thats why choosing ground tour can really save up a lot! Besides budgeting, you also want to choose a hotel which has the best location. So after i've done the research, The Victoria All Season Hotel is the best! Its located in Little Collins Streets, its so near to the Myer and David Jones(shopping mall), and a lots of cafe and because its in the CBD is it so close to just walk to anywhere you want and yet the price is reasonable.

Then, we head to Federation Square according to the staff in airport she said is a must for tourist to visit because you can get all sort of information you need here. But actually we just simply walk and here we are!

I actually did a list of some of the must go places in Melbourne before we went, church is in the list but unfortunately we didn't go in to the church because we have too much places to go and my mum doesn't want to go in. Well.. lets left it until the next time with someone who knows how to appreciate the same thing with you. 

 I snap the picture of this shop because it was so pretty and the cup cakes are so cute but when i editing the picture for this blog only i realize that the worker inside are looking at the camera. Kind a scary huh. Haha..

With my beautiful mum, thou we have fight sometimes but thank you so much for bringing us here.

I love you!

No filter!

Next stop is Victoria Market! One of the must go places as well, its been recommended from a lot of friends of my mum. I don't know why but still is a nice place to visit because you can buy a lot of fresh local fruits with crazily cheap price. My mum is a huge fans of grapes so of course we gonna buy tons of them back to hotel. 

Victoria Market is actually very far from where we stay but we still manage to walk there because walking in Melbourne city is so enjoyable, not only because of the cleanness of the city but also the chilling weather. Well, fruit and vegetables is not the only things that you can get it here, but also some cloths and stuff. But when we reach there they are about to close so we didnt get to look around the whole market. So, here is some important things you need to know which they are close on Monday & Wednesday. Meanwhile,   take down their operating time as well because its different everyday and you don't want to disappoint yourself.  

 Credits to the lovely couple to make this picture looks so lovely! Well.. they are actually just random people there but it just look so beautiful that makes me want to capture it down. And hopefully one day i'll be doing the same thing at the same place. haha.. Dreaming.. 

Another thing about Victoria Market you need to compare the prices between different stores and it is worth to go because you can buy tons of really fresh fruit as a meal. Because food in Melbourne is quite expensive if you convert it into Ringgit Malaysia. It might sounds kind a pity to do that but i can tell you its NOT AT ALL! Especially their Grapes and Apple taste so much better than what you get in Malaysia. I am not a big fans of Grape and i need the peel off the Apple skin whenever i eat but a big No in Australia because everything is so FRESH!!! All of them taste really really good. *thumbs up*

 Getting her all time favorite! The Grapes!!! 

 Their market is so much cleaner than Malaysia

And yea.. They do sell their oranges per box! Haha.. Interesting.. 

 Again.. Their apple is really really good! Highly recommend you to try it out! 

Pic below has been posted in previous blog but its so beautiful and i wanted to show you guys that i took this pic at Victoria Market. 

'

All of our legs are burning, so we just sat down out of the market to chill a while like the local people. Please excuse me to cover up my ugly expression. haha.. 

It was around evening that time, so what we do at night was just shopping. Do take note that the mall over there do closed at 7pm some day. So check out their operating time before you heading to the mall. 

This was taken during shopping at shops around Myer. I'll share more about shopping in the coming post.

I guess we thats it for Day 1 in Melbourne. What is missing from the photo is I actually went to Victoria University and the rest was just walk around the city. Thank you so much if you are reading from the beginning until the end and i hope you do enjoy reading it. Why it took me so long for this is because i actually have 400 plus of photos from iPhone, iPad mini, camera and my mum Note II for just Day 1. It took some effort to edit, pick, filter and stuff.. Well.. i hope you guys like it and get some information or idea about travel to Melbourne. 

Travelling shouldn't be just a dream if you know how to budget and plan. So stay tuned for more tips and info in the following post. Hopefully it won't take too long for next one. See ya! 

Melbourne

If you've followed me in Facebook or Instagram, you've probably already knew that i am going to Melbourne! And yes, i am back in Malaysia right now.

If you wondered why i did not keep on updating picture when i am in Melbourne is because I DONT HAVE WIFI in the hotel!!!!! And most of the places in Melbourne do not offer free wifi, most of them you have to paid with your credit card for like $4 for an hour. I was kind a pissed back then but come to think of that if i do have wifi there, probably i won't have time to sleep and travel and really look at the beautiful city around me. So.. its not really a big deal.

Melbourne city is so impressively beautiful. They put a lot of effort in preserving those classical building. The whole city was so well-planned, you do not have to worried about getting the transport to your destination. They have so many beautiful park, church, theater, cafe and so forth. If you do play "The Sims 3", what you've seen in the game is exactly what Melbourne City looks like but 100 times more beautiful than that. 

I have so many things to share with you guys from this trip, i promised its gonna be pretty informative! However, i have too much in mind right now, i do jot down some notes everyday but still its gonna be a lot to share. I doubt if i wrote this whole trip in regular blog like this, is anyone gonna read it. 

So i am thinking to make videos, so it will be easier for me as well as you. I'll be sharing every single things in this trip including where did i went, some of the must go places, and some of the thing you should have know while travel and so forth. I've never done anything like this before so do bare with me and hopefully it will go well. Kind a scare and worried actually. But if turns out if that gonna takes more time, then i'll just stick it with the old plan. Don't take it for granted yet guys! 

I just landed yesterday at around 0730, reached home around 1000 and went to class straight away around 1600 because i've already missed 3 days of classes and a week of orientation but it was just beginning of the semester so it won't affect a lot. And i also have to catch up with my Grade 7 Piano Practical Exam as well as some application for university. So its gonna be really busy. But i'll tried to upload the pictures and stuff as soon as possible. 

And just right before i went to Melbourne, my cousin YeeGin helped me to change the blog skin and new header!!!! Also thanks to LKS for giving some help on this!! Thank you both of you so much!! I love it!! Still planning to design this blog become prettier but.. too much things to do right now.. =( 

Anyways, stay tuned for more about this trip and i shall talk to you guys very soon!

Here are some of the pictures, will try to post more ASAP! =)

Goodbye Dear Wife

The moment i writing this is where i just finished watch the whole drama, and its actually 5:20 in the morning, my eyes are so pain because i cried a lot just now and its kind a late... But i'm afraid if i just head to bed and sleep, the next day i'll forget the exact feelings.. Hence, its gonna be a very truthful post.. Read through the end and you'll see my after crying face.. 

For some of you who don't watch Korean Drama, and think that this would be another typical love story.. Please continue reading! For those who know me, i am absolutely not a Korean fans, i do watch Korean drama but the total amount wasn't more than 10.. But you can trust my words because my sister is a super crazy Korean addicted and she knew a lot about it and always recommend me this and that.. But not all her suggestion can make me invest my time for the full episode. 

Not sure if i should tell the story line, but lets just start with a little intro.. The whole story is about a married couple where they already married for 3 years and the husband begins to feel weary for the marriage life.. He treated his wife very rudely and did a lot of crazy stuff.. After some times, he finally realize the mistakes and regret about it.. The moment where he started to really appreciate his wife, he had brain tumors.. And the story goes on.. 

It might sounds like a typical love story but trust me its NOT! i make it really brief because its too much to write and i don't want to let you guys know whats the ending.. So if you have time like semester break like me, i strongly recommend you to watch this and its only 20 episode in total.. And i tend to put most of the lovely pic but actually they fight a lot in the drama.. Somehow i just love to see all the sweet moment.. ♥♥

After so much of crap finally i can write what i wanted to write, its basically what i feel or inspired from this drama..

There are a lot of definition about love.. But not even one can really describe what it is.. It might seems useless for some of you now, but at the end you will still hold the desire to have it no matter how old are you..

Back when we were really young, sometimes we'll take the number of relationship that we had as a pride. Of course the greater the number, shows the higher popularity and also greater proud.. And when we grow up, we begins to become more stable, then we will ask for more things as time passed...

What i really inspired from this drama was if i can meet someone that i love him so much like how the girl did in the drama, one relationship like that is more than enough.. 

Well.. People always felt lost and confuse when they were being with one person for a long time and they begin to doubt whether this relationship is exist for love or just a habit to have each other around.. 

Also, there are people who always set a checklist of how a perfect partner should be..                                                            

First love of the husband

First love of the wife

My advice is.. If you gonna continue this relationship or begin a relationship, you have to find someone that you really love about him on everything.. Everything here including all the pros and cons.. Even if he really have some thing you aren't that satisfied, at some point you still find that it's kind a cute and acceptable..

Only if you can love everything of a person, the relationship can stay strong and healthy.. Its a pretty important foundation for every relationship.. 

However, a lot of relationship starts up with "love at first sight" or you might found that person was perfect for the beginning but after sometimes all the good turns to bad.. In this case, you gonna know yourself really well.. But most of the time we knew our self more from experience.. So.. don't be afraid of starting on something new and make mistake.. Its gonna develop and transform you to a better person..

Of course there are also a lot of other reason that causes a relationship to end, but that's too much to be discuss.. Let's just focus more on this drama today! 

This post was actually written in end of April, but i wanted to find pic and edit and stuff so i completed it in May.. And after I watch this, i didn't start any other drama because i am still having a strong feeling on this and i do not want any other drama to crash my memory on this.. okay.. it sounds silly..

One thing good about blogging is once i blogged, its like i record down what i wish to record at here then i can delete my memory in my brain.. Haha... i have short memory.. So hopefully i can move on to other drama after this..

As i promised in the beginning of the post, here is my after crying face.. T.T

I took this pic because i feel that its a moment that should be capture it down.. LOL.. I watched the last 3 episode straight and I am being so emotional as i really cry like hell when something bad happened and stop immediately when something good happened.. i am so into the story... HAHA.. sarahei oppa!! 

Hope you guys enjoy reading as well as the drama "GOODBYE DEAR WIFE"

GOOD LUCK!

The right one

Have you ever been into all these situation? If yes, what would be your ultimate choice?

Its about a girl meeting different types of guys, which all led to different experience and feeling.

Here it goes...

The first guy, lets call him.. Guy A. Everyone must have a bottom line that you've set for your "potential partner" or partner. He must not be a convict for instance. I am sure that you have your own expectation and definitely different people will have different "rules". So, the girl actually meet someone which totally break all her expectation, everything goes just far beyond the bottom line. But things turn out unexpectedly, instead of being loathe and sick of what he does, the girl found a way to just cope with it naturally. Though she does not agree with it. Of course there must be a reason behind which Guy A is a super optimism, affirmative and cheerful person. The girl can easily be happy for the whole day just because of one joke that made by Guy A. Guy A is like someone who born to bring the happiness for everyone, not just the girl but everyone around. Being with him the girl doesn't really need to worried what to do to impress him. Everything go really casual and simple but yet happy.

The second guy, Guy B. He was everything that the girl dream of. Education, appearance, height and literally everything. One of the most special thing of this guy was whenever he meets her, a lot of situation happened like those drama scenario which of course the girl totally obsessed with these. Being with Guy B isn't that casual compare to Guy A, but it is clear enough that making this choice wouldn't go wrong.. Even if its happened, it wouldn't be super wrong.. Guy B was a nearly perfect guy for the girl, he has an clear and practical idea of his future, working hard to achieve it, mature enough to take care of her. He provides a sense of secure in a way that whenever she needs some advice or suggestion, he will be the right one to refer to. Not all the time, but most of the time. Relatively, the interaction will be just slightly solemn compare to Guy A.

Guy C. Compare to Guy A and Guy B, he does not have much point to make the girl fall for him. But as a friend it was nice to just hang out and have fun. The girl dress up and behave all depends on the mood. Its not that Guy C was that bad but just.. feeling perhaps? Among all, he has the highest ability to provides all the materially needs.. at least for now. In terms of happiness level, Guy A is those kind who can make joke everywhere from daily life and conversation. As for Guy C maybe he will tell joke instead of making joke. To be clearer, Guy C wasn't a bad choice but maybe due to different preference or hobbies, it was slightly harder to find interest in common which sort of reduce the spark of the relationship.

So ladies and gentleman, which one will be your choice? 

Well.. in real life, you'll meet a lot of different people everywhere, everyday. You are definitely lucky enough if you have so many choices in hand. But the thing is not everyone you met you can love. I mean.. like maybe due to religion, citizen, age or just simple enough that he or she already being in a relationship.. Of course, if you guys are meant to be, things that i stated just now will not be an obstacle.. But just trust me thou, there are a lot of other reason where you cannot love the person..

So.. if you met someone you love and you can love, go ahead for it.. Be brave! Because once it past, you'll never know who and until when you'll meet the next one that can actually make your heartbeat accelerate, or make you cry like you've lost the whole world. 

XoXo! Good luck!
