Seperti biasa beta memang tidak sempat spend time to update The Kingdom. However, Insyallah ini ada masa weekend boleh la beta just share some story. May be agak lama dah story ni but as I promised beta akan share some story about my trip to Australia last December 2012.
Beta dah lama plan untuk berkunjung semula ke Australia. Lama sudah beta tidak menjejakan kaki ke Australia. Kali ni beta bercuti but quite last minutes juga and this time beta decided to go to Melbourne and Victoria. Beta ke sana pun atas undangan teman baik beta Hasnul yang menetap di sana. Dah dua tahun janji nak bershopping ‘Boxing Day’ bersama tak tertunai. Akhirnya, beta pejam mata and beli ticket ke sana. Alhamdulilah, Malaysia Airlines buat online
Enrich sales. Beta apa lagi gunakan points yang ada untuk ticket. They only required 19,450 points for one way trip Kuala Lumpur to Melbourne and also Melbourne to Kuala Lumpur. Only pay for the tax about RM460. OK la beta save a lot on that.
Tanpa beta sedar masa keberangkatan just around the corner and I just realized visa masih beli di peroleh. Haha! Thank God Australian visa proses very simple and easy. Just apply via Australian Immigration website and pay AUD$30 kalau tak silap. Di pendekan cerita, beta tiba di Melbourne in morning. Upon arrival, beta terus get clean and tukar baju sebab nak terus berjalan lepas tu. Oh ya, beta tiba di Melboune on Christmas morning. Merry Christmas Mike and Shiela..
Haha! From Tullamarine Airport beta terus saja ke Melbourne CBD. I took SkyBus cost around AUD$15 and brings be straight to Southern Cross Station. Beta jumpa kawan beta di sana, selepas keep all luggage dalam storage kami terus catch V-Line train ke Geelong. Due to Christmas, all train are free! Tiba di Geelong V-Line station, we just walk towards the harbour.
Geelong town agak lengang, all shops are closed. Ye la kan Christmas kan. Typical Aussie and NZ town, quiet and relaxing. Perut dah lapar sebenanya, we had home cooked Nasi Goreng at Cunningham Pier and then spend time jalan-jalan and take pictures (This is a must!)…
Towards evening around 5pm beta catch train utk balik balik semula ke Melbourne. Tiba di Melbourne I take a quick tour around the CBD area and had dinner at Indonesian Restaurant at Swanston St. Cuaca agak dingin sebab baru lepas hujan renyai. Sedang makan suddently bunyi kuat Iuar. Bila di lihat dari tingkap, rupanya Hail Storm atau Hujan Batu. Masa menujukan jam 7pm tapi hari masih cerah, summer so siang nya agak panjang.
After dinner spend time jalan2 around city and dah start shopping! Haha.. Kemudian, beta ke Southern Cross Station semula and to pick up my luggage yg seberat 20kg itu dan take another train and bus to Hasnul resident. Little bit far from city area, located in Clayton in City of Monash area right in-front Monash University. The moment we reached there mata hari baru terbenam dan gelap, but rupanya dah 9pm! Patut lah rasa penat sangat. After shower, beta terus tidur sebab esok already 26 December 2011.. Ada apa? It’s BOXING DAY! Mengikut plan I have to get up at 6amand get ready to start our Boxing Day shopping journey….
