Apa ada di Labuan? Tiket Flight dari labuan lagi murah? Jom ke labuan..

Hi assalamualaikum semua, kembali lagi dalam post yang saja mengisi ngisi masa lapang.hehe. Apa khabar korang? harap korang sihat walafiat di permudahkan segala urusan dan di murahkan rezeki, semoga kita semua mendapat keredhaan daripada allah swt. So alhamdulilah di kesempatan kali ni aku saja saja lah tulis blog pasal labuan, well emmm bukan lah seperti macam yang di tajuk blog ni, haha sebab aku nda tahu mau tulis tajuk apa. Aku nda akan tulis pasal apa ada di labuan sebab bukan selalu pun ke labuan tapi tujuan tulis blog ni sebab ada kawan tanya mcm mana mau pergi labuan, aku cakap senang ja ada dua cara naik kapal terbang atau naik speed boat atau naik ferry, terus aku pn macam apa juga ko mau buat di labuan? rupanya naik kapal terbang dari sana untuk ke KL, nah baru aku tahu kalau dari sabah banding labuan kalau ke KL tambang nya lagi murah, kadang beza harga sampai RM400 tu kalau flight dr KK ke KL.. so Sebab tu lah aku mau share jugak pasal ni untuk yang ya lah kalau mau save budget tambang ticket ni kan kalau kita boleh save dalam rm400 gila banyak tu geng.

Sekarang ni kalau dari sabah senang saja pergi labuan tu, naik ja ferry atau speed boat ke labuan..tapi kalau naik ferry mungkin lambat sikit lah dalam satu jam setengah lebih kurang macam tu, kalau yang memang bertujuan untuk naik kapal terbang kena lah set timing kang tertinggal flight jadi satu hal plak lagi, bukan plak mengurang kos tapi menambah kos pla untuk beli lagi tiket kapal terbang baru hahaha…kalau naik speed boat dalam masa lebih kurang 20 minit mcm tu sampai sudah sangat laju and speed boat dia kan memang besar so memang selamat and ada life jacket jugak utk korang pakai incase anything happen kan..palis ! So ada dua cara mau beli tiket tu terus ke kaunter atau beli online. Kalau beli di kaunter boleh jak tapi ada masa dia sold out tu terutama nya masa cuti cuti public holiday, lagi lagi cuti sekolah kena beli online sebab kalau beli di kaunter mungkin masih ada tapi yang hujung hujung timing sj tu masih ada mcm petang, ko dtg pagi di kaunter sekali tiket yg ada cuma petang pnya timing, karau ko menunggu di jety haha..So paling bagus korang book lah tiket dari easy book, aku share link di bawah ni, senang ja book set time and bayar, settle!…

Kalau kamu orang sabah memang biasa ngan ura ura jambatan menghubungi labuan dan sabah akan di buat, kamu tahu cerita ni setiap kali pilihan raya memang akan naik cerita ni hahaha, saja kan memancing rakyat. tapi its 2024 sudah ni rakyat nda sudah senang kena pancing macam tu, aku sebagai penduduk yang memang tinggal berdekatan area ni bosan sudah dengar cerita basi mcm tu, tiap kali pilihan raya itu lah cerita yang di uar uar kan orang politik. Ceria pasal orang politik ni baik nda payah sampai ke sudah tiada penghujung nya, membela rakyat konon tapi membela poket sendiri saja tu…haha

jadi apa lah yang ada di labuan? emm jujurnya aku nda lah tahu sangat sebab jarang juga pergi labuan, bila ada keperluan saja, tapi yang pasti labuan tu dia mcm duty free lah situ so kamu orang jangan tekejut kereta kereta import lagi banyak sana di jalan raya banding kereta tempatan. sebab situ kereta import murah tiada cukai best kan boleh lah begaya kalau tinggal d labuan haha atau kerja sana, tapi tu lah kalau mau pg sabah pg kk khusus nya kena lah naik ferry di luar labuan cuma boleh dlm 30 hari kalau nda silap bawa kereta tu keluar, lepas tu mesti bawa balik labuan kalau nda kena compound la kan mcm biasa..

Sebab sana kan duty free jadi kalau yang gila coklat import tu sana memang murah and banyak, tapi tu lah memang murah tapi exfire date nya pn macam dekat sudah tapi nda semua lah, pastu kalau perfume tu aku emm mcm kurang yakin macam nda ori jak..tapi mungkin aku nda tahu kot mana mau cari tempat murah..ohh aku ada buat youtube vlog pergi labuan lepas covid dulu, hehe aku selitkan di bawah ni incase korang mau tengok apa lagi yang ada di labuan..hehe banyak benarnya tempat tempat baru yang boleh kamu buat di sana, tempat makan tempat riadah, tempat peranginan mcm gitu lah,tapi tu lah orang labuan pun selalu kalau mau berhibur mau shopping turun pigi kk jugak hehe so nda lah aku rasa rude kalau aku cakap nada apa apa di labuan, tapi bagi aku labuan tu kalau tempat membesarkan anak anak terus kerja sana lagi enviroment nya sangat baik and kalau ada rezeki kerja sana and tinggal sana i will not think twice and just go for it…mcm gitew…bah ok lah cukup itu saja dulu post blog kali ni, harap korang terhibur dan dapat sedikit info yang berguna dari post ni..hehe bye..

Hounon Ridge Farmstay & Camping

IMG_9285_jpg

written by Azlan Said

Hounon Ridge Farmstay & Camping

Assalamualaikum semua, apa khabar korang? Sihat tak? Admin harap korang sihat walafiat, admin sihat alhamdulilah.. fuhh lama tidak update website admin, rasa macam rugi pulak bayar subscription tiap tahun beratus ratus tapi post susah betul mau keluar haha, at the end of the day siapa yang rugi admin sorang jugak hahaha..untuk pengetahuan korang admin langgan subscription untuk website ni, langgan hosting dan jugak domain, ok kalau ada yang berminat pasal ni admin boleh buat specific post semua tentang ni..untuk post kali ni admin mahu kongsi pengalaman admin berkhemah di Hounon ridge Farmstay & Camping di Bundu Tuhan Kundasang Ranau.

Bayangkan last time admin camping masa sekolah menengah kot, masa tu kalau admin tak silap khemah pun yang betul betul kain khemah oren biru tu pastu bagi palang kayu tengah tengah then ikat di tanah di setiap penjuru haha yang tu lah klu tidak silap admin dulu masa sekolah. Sekarang Khemah semua canggih, semua tersedia ngan besi nya, paku nya, tali nya dan pendek kata semua cukup lah. Kalau kamu ingat kartun drgaon ball, bulma ada tu kapsul kan baling saja tu kapsul boom terus siap tu rumah, haha tu just imiginasi admin saja tapi lebih kurang lah khemah sekarang, semua sudah ready just ikut ja instruction boom khemah terus berdiri, kalau dulu dulu masa camping time sekolah mana ada, kayu kena cari, pastu kain khemah tali pun beli ja di kedai hardware mana ada yang jual pasang siap khemah, mungkin ada lah masa tu tapi mahal kot..

so di jadikan cerita, admin with my 3 of my friends planing untuk bercamping, plan ni sebenarnya lama sudah dari dulu lagi semenjak aktiviti camping ni semakin trending, mana mana orang di socmed semua post pasal camping. Tapi tu lah bila plan tu progress nya pun slow lah, mahu beli khemah dulu, mau beli alat equipment berkhemah lagi, alat alat memasak lagi semua lah…haha..kalau tunggu benda tu cukup memang tidak cukup cukup lah hahaha..tingal plan yang nda pandai jadi jadi saja haha..tapi untuk trip kali ni admin dan kawan admin bxsagi jadi saja, walau teda cukup equipment tapi since tempat kami mahu pergi berkhemah tu menyediakan all the camping equipment so untuk permulaan ni we all decide okay just do it, so here we are…..

kami pilih Hounon Ridge Farmstay & Camping untuk tempat kami berkhemah, sebab tempat ni memang viral lah kalau di tiktok, insta, fb..bila tengok post post orang yang sudah pernah camping sini memang cantik, jadi sebab tu lah kami pilih tempat ni untuk berkhemah. Sebelum kamu decide untuk pergi sini macam biasa lah booking dulu, boleh contact dorang secara online semua detail ada dalam website dorang, contact dorang pastu booking lah tarikh yang kamu mahu.. Di sini dorang ada sediakan homestay, hostel bagi yang tidak suka berkhemah tu, tapi mahu menikmati pemandangan indah di tempat ni boleh lah sewa bilik dan yang group tu boleh sewa hostel, tapi bagi yang macam admin mau camping book camping entrance lah sebab tempat camping tu di sekliling halaman hounon ridge tu.

Hounon Ridge Farmstay & Camping ni sediakan most of the camping equipment, but offcourse korang kena lah bayar sewa untuk alat alat macam khemah, bantal, selimut, tilam, kelambu, and etc..tapi facility macam dapur gas, peti sejuk, kitchen essential semua di sediakan korang boleh guna secara percuma, tapi off course korang kena lah bertanggungjawab untuk menggunakan facility ni sebab bukan korang seorang saja yang akan guna, kena lah clean up selepas guna, put all the things where it suppose to be, and jangan lah control guna lama lama sebab orang lain pun mahu guna jugak, so this kind of responsiblity need to be precisely enforce if you know what i mean haha..admin pantang kalau benda benda macam ni buat other people not comfortable when you are around even in the short time.

other than that untuk yang muslim kalau kamu tidak bawa enough kitchen essential macam piring pinggan mangkuk semua tu, memang kena sediakan di sini tapi admin tidak berapa pasti siapa yang pernah guna alat alat tu, sebab kitchen macam ni memang universal siapa siapa pun boleh guna, so kalau korang risau if previous user ada guna untuk not halal food, korang bawa lah sedia sabun tahara untuk sertu sebelum guna alat alat tu, senang dan korang pun tidak lah rasa Was Was memanjang kan, infact bukan untuk ni saja admin kalau travel pergi mana mana and stay di airbnb memang admin sentiasa bawa sabun taharah ni..i put the link down below for you guyz to purchase it from shopee..

ok admin sebelum pergi sini memang banyak tengok orang punya post di socmed, mostly admin baca apa yang dorang tulis is keadaan jalan raya menuju ke hounon ni sangat lah tidak memuaskan. Bagi admin 50% admin setuju, 50% tu lagi dari dulu pun keadaan jalan raya tu memang macam tu, jalan kampung kegunaan penduduk yang tinggal di situ. Jadi bagi admin keadaan jalan raya tu masih lagi boleh di tolerate, tidak lah teruk sangat sampai tidak dapat di lalui. Boleh ja pun even kereta kancil ka viva ka axia ka senang senang ja tu tu sampai sana, mungkin beza dia keselesaan saja lah, kalau ada kelebihan menggunakan kereta 4×4, SUv, atau kereta yang tinggi tinggi tu even better. Mungkin keadaan cuaca perlu di ambil kira jugak bila pergi sini, waktu admin pergi memang hujan ada kawasan jalan raya runtuh separuh dari jalan raya tu di lereng bukit, memang bahaya jugak kalau di fikirkan..korang boleh tengok di vlog admin, a bit scary jugak hehe..

Emmmm Sebut pasal tanah runtuh ni, admin ucapkan takziah kepada manga tanah runtuh di batang kali baru baru ni, sememangnya berkhemah di kawasan tanah tinggi ni memang ada risiko nya, lebih lebih lagi kawasan Hounon Ridge ni memang kawasan lereng bukit. Sedikit menakutkan jugak bila fikir pasal ni, admin perasaan tempat tu memang tidak banyak sudah pokok pokok. Korang pun tahu kan kalau tidak banyak pokok, macam mana tu tanah mau stay sebab tiada akar akar pokok yang mau pegang dari runtuh, kalau kamu perasaan jugak di kundasang ni sekarang lereng lereng bukit makin banyak kena buat home stay, kalau 10 tahun dulu masih banyak penduduk kampung tanam sayur, so bila keadaan ekonomi yang memerlukan penduduk situ bergerak mengikut peredaran ekonomi semasa tapi dalam masa yang sama mungkin akan mengundang bala yang siapa siapa pun tidak tahu bila akan berlaku. BUkan admin cakap benda ni untuk menakutkan korang, admin just beringat dan sentiasa peka dengan keadaan sekililing lebih lebih lagi pasal cuaca bila berkunjung ke sini..tapi insyallah semua ok ye lah kemalangan ni mana mana pun boleh berlaku kan.

Selain daripada tu rasa nya HOunon Ridge Farmstay ni memang menyediakan perkhidmatan adventure yang terbaik lah untuk koarng kalau datang berkunjung ke sini. yang penting view mahal tu, view gunung kinabalu memang tersergam indah depan mata. Lagi satu tempat ni memang pendek kata hampir 24 jam boleh nampak gunung kecuali kalau bnyk awan lah, tapi tidak seteruk di kaki gunung di kundasang tu, kebarangkalian seharian tidak nampak gunung kinabalu pun boleh jadi, sebab masa admin di sini admin nampak awan putih tu sentiasa atas pekan kundasang. So stay di sini memang ada kelebihan jugak lebih lebih lagi kalau korang photographer, memang tidak menyesal lah. Boleh buat night time lapse milkyway huh memang cantik lah. Masa admin pergi sini hujan waktu malam tu so tidak dapat lah ambik timelapse.

fuh panjang gila doh admin membebel, admin stop sini dulu. Kalau korang ada pertanyaan komen saja di bawah tu atau korang boleh pergi saja mana mana admin punya soc med, my dm always open for any question and quiry. Oh ya di bawah ni jugak Admin letak Link vlog youtube yang sempat admin rakam masa di sana..enjoy ya

Free Melbourne Trip Itinerary | Travel Guide Melbourne Australia

Assalamualaikum and good day everyone’s hope everyone doing great and stay safe no matter where you are. So untuk post kali ni admin akan tulis tentang Melbourne Trip Itinerary so for all of you yang plan nak travel ke Melbourne Australia then post ni could be beneficial for you and help you in away. Admin pun sebenarnya belom lagi jejak kaki ke sini, but memang planing akan travel ke sini to complete my Australia journey, this is the only major city that i never been to, so by writing this post me myself in advanced make this travel itinerary incase this whole pandemic thing will be over soon and we all can start travel again. So i will be covering tempat tinggal, tempat attraction, what to do, and maybe some tips that i found on the internet and post it here and that usually money budget tips and hidden secret place.

Admin tahu dilema nak travel tu bila google tempat-tempat best, sejuta macam tempat dia suggest untuk lawat, and the question is where to begin?..pening kan? so this is why i write this blog post supaya korang senang and admin pun senang nanti bila mahu datang ke sini…but ya la offcoz you can tweak here and there based on your travel reference.so admin akan suggest based on day to day basis activity and location is on next to each other supaya senang travel nanti tak yah ulang alik tempat yang sama sebab tidak buat research. Melbourne ni terletak paling bawah sekali iaitu southeastern coast. December to February musim panas,March to May musim luruh,June to august Musim Sejuk dan September to august tu musim bunga tapi dah start panas lah. so korang dah boleh agak bila masa yang sesuai untuk datang ke sini, and at the same time you know what kind of cloth you need to pack up based on the seasons. Kat melbourne ni tiada snow tapi certain place memang ada snow seperti Mount Buller,admin akan masukan jugak Mount Buller dalam itinerary ni.Stay tune!!

But before i start biar admin buat sedikit introduction what is Melbourne all about. Melbourne ni dulu sebenarnya capital city of Australia tapi tahun 1927 capital city di pindah ke Canberra city. Do you know that Melbourne was originally named Batmania. Admin pun tidak pasti kenapa Batmania haha. Melbourne is fourth in the world to have the largest tram system and this is good to go around in the city. Tram tu macam Monorel lah tapi outdoor kat jalan and i think its power by electric. Its a very diversity city and culture and so everyone seem to be welcome here from all around the world and thats good because for me and maybe for most you finding Halal food is should be not a problem here.i think thats all we need to know so far about Melbourne.so hopefully this thread will make you future travel the best travel trip ever and without further a due lets go to Day 1.

Day 1 – Melbourne Central Business District “CBD”

Kenapa tinggal di CBD? ingat ni business trip ka?.haha.and msti ada jugak cakap “saya travel bukan mau tengok bangunan, atau pigi shopping complex atau kalau mau tengok bandar baik aku pigi KL saja, atau aku mau tgk nature bukan bandar”ya ya you are absolutely correct… but Wait a minute your Lazy ass Traveler haha just kidding, first of all this is my travel itinerary and second of all there is no obligation to this so you are free to follow and tweak anything here based on your like. And you might think that staying in the CBD is very expensive, well little that you know, go install AirBnB and you will amaze by that,the starting price is as cheap as RM50, can you believe that? but offcoz booking AirBnB in group will cost more in bulk but not when you split the price. The reason for day 1 in CBD is to get to know this city much closer and then pastu finding halal food, cheap market place senang kan! and you have no idea there is like alot,i mean alot of amazing attraction in the city of Melbourne.

So i would suggest for you stay in CBD for at least 2 or 3 days to cover all the top attraction here and yes Melbourne is known as a very good in public transportation, dan boleh lah menggunakan Tram service pastu free taw esp tempat tempat attraction. Kat sebelah ni map laluan tram yang bagi naik secara percuma and i put the link here for you to download the map.

kat Melbourne ni selain tram banyak jer lagi sistem pengangkutan lain, so untuk memudahkan menaiki semua transportation ni boleh purchase kad Myki dengan bayaran AUD$6 dan top lah sebanyak mana yang anda perlu tapi ingat tak boleh refund taw balance dalam tu so purchase wisely.Uber also avaiable kat sini, so pendek kata untuk transportation is not a problem here, choose wisely based on your budget.

OMG Day 1 ni more like explaination stuff plak haha, dont worry i will put the short and compact version kat bawah sekali post ni. This part here is more explaining things so you will get a better picture. ok lets start all over again haha…

Fed Square (Federation Square)

Tempat ni betul betul di tengah kota Melbourne, Fed Square ni venue untuk arts,culture and publics events, so based on review tempat ni kalau weekend memang banyak free public events yang kita boleh tengok, and actually it also surround with alot of art gallery, if you into art then this is your time to shine and be inspired. Selain tu banyak restaurant dan cafe di sekeliling Fed Square ni,and selalu tengok d Tv tempat ni ala ala tempat lepak outdoor lah sambil menyaksikan seni bina para para artis di Melbourne. Ambik gambar kat sini paling wajib.

ACMI (Australian Centre For The Moving Image) & The Ian Potter Centre

ACMI ni National Museum Of Film,Video Games,Digital Culture and Art meanwhile The ian Potter Centre tu plak Art Gallery Collection of the National Gallery of Victoria. Like i said before Melbourne is obses with art so even you are not so much into art but why not try this and you could enjoy and maybe discover new interest. Bangunan ni next to Fed Square sangat lah dekat just jalan kaki.

Hosier Lane

Another 400m walk plak adalah Boulevard with street art, colourfull grafiti yang memang tiap kali kawan kawan travel ke Melbourne mesti ada gambar belakang grafiti wall, so kat sini lah antara yang famous guyz.paling best jalan kaki je sangat dekat.

Manchester Unity Building & Melbourne Town Hall

Jalan lagi another one block of building pulak dua bangunan ni, just bersebelahan to each other. Good thing about building here is all of them are unique, what i mean by unique is you know thats melbourne when you see the picture of the building. Next to this beautiful building is Scot Church Melbourne. Jangan rugi tangkap gambar sebagai kenangan.Di belakang dua bangunan ni pla Tourist Information Centre, if you need more information about melbourne then just walk a few min to here.

Melbourne River Cruises

Jalan kaki ke sini cuma mengambil masa beberapa minit and melalui princess Bridge di Yarra river, this is also one of the icnoic bridge and di register kan sebagai the victorian Heritage. So if you wanna see Melbourne in diffrent perspective so admin sangat advice untuk naik river cruise, ambik masa dalam 1 jam dengan bayaran around aud $27,utk satu route tapi kalau pakej aud $39 it cover 2 route for 2 hour.so depends on you kalau banyak masa then blh la ambik dua jam at least blh lah rehat kan kaki sebab banyak bejalan kan.

Kings Domain

Selepas sudah dapat rehat naik cruises so penat berjalan pun hilang sudah,then boleh terus ke Kings Domain which is a public park in the city, along the way ke sini pn boleh jumpa juga National Gallery of victoria another art gallery, lepas tu ada alexandra Gardens dan Queen Victoria gardens. Boleh lah hirup udara segar di sini.

Eureka Skydeck

When it start to get dark sudah then admin suggest pergi ke Eureka Skydeck. Another way of seeing Melbourne in different prespective, this is the third tallest building in australia so if you have extra budget boleh lah kesini, it cost you around aud $22 and it look so beautiful watching melbourne city up high in the sky, Admin advice naik ke sini bila start sudah mahu malam sebab view malam lagi cantik city full of colourfull light.

alright Done day 1 , basically day 1 ni more sight seeing di Melbourne city and i bet we can find a lot of cool interesting stuff here, and good thing is while walk around for sure we can find one or two shop that offering good deals and ya it could save you a lot of time looking for it when you already know where is it.

Day 2 – Melbourne Central Business District “CBD”

Hari kedua masih lagi di CBD but for this second day admin suggest kita explore di bahagian north melbourne and this time we move around with tram. Beause north side of Melbourne is included a free route using tram. Top attraction di upper side ni pun tidak kurang jugak hebat nya and to those yang suka shopping di upper side ni banyak tempat shopping. Well thats why i said for first to third day sesuai sangat stay at area CBD sebab it close to places that you dont wanna missed when you travel to Melbourne. So lets jump in..

Queen Victoria Market

This market Open everyday at 6am except on sunday it open at 9pm and only close on monday and wednesday. This is a major landmark in Melbourne and one of the top list places to visit. Inside the market there is a lot of shop and restaurant selling variety of things from food to antique to plant and organic good.So since this is the earlist places to open admin suggest kita lawat tempat ni paling awal so that we can have a breakfast here dan lepas tu boleh shopping.

Melbourne Museum

Oleh kerana aree ni dalam route free tram so we move to second location which is Melbourne museum, kawasan museum melbourne ni juga ada Carlton Garden dan Royal Exhibition Building, so dalam masa yang sama boleh lawat 3 tempat. Hey educational visit [un penting jugak at least we learn something by visiting a Museum, we just dont know what we could learn, so please be open minded.

China Town

Di Melbourne pun ada juga china town, so admin suggest selepas melawat Museum then kita just jalan kaki ke china town. Tapi kalau masih ada masa yang panjang boleh detour untuk melawat state library Victoria dan The Melbourne Central Clock, dua bangunan ni pun sebahagian daripada landmark di Melbourne juga.Off coz when you see china town there will be a lot of restaurant in here, so lunch can be find here. and at the same time boleh shopping. Jangan risau if you want more modern style of shopping we can go to Emporium Melbourne, one of the largest shopping mall here in Melbourne. and the good thing is it close to each other, so just santai jalan kaki look around and sampai lah ke Emporium Melbourne the shopping mall.Berabis lah anda bershopping di sana ya nanti, admin just cuci mata jak hehe.

state library Victoria dan The Melbourne Central Clock

Emporium Melbourne / Shopping Mall

Day 3 – Melbourne Central Business District “CBD”

Alright day 3, the time fly very fast every time you go travel. haha. So for day three this is very optional for you to still stay in the CBD area atau luar CBD. Sebab for day three and forwards our travel takes a long journey so admin suggest untuk rent a car. To rent a car in Melbourne or any city in the Australia is very easy and affordable according to your travel budget and you can just book in advanced online. There is variety of car to choose from and as low as RM100 perday..i’ll screenshot the website for you to see. Untuk pick up kereta sewa to ada option pick up kat airport atau any other place yang kamu mahu, but for admin i prefer just pick up at airport sebab senang and easy to get a direction.

you have to be in mind that when you are renting a car, there is a few thing you need to concern which is you need to know where to park your car, understand the parking fee system which sometime it can be confusing like when i was in Sydney, it takes a while for me to understand it. The road regulation is very strict here so you have to follow every rules and be aware of road sign,the last thing you want to have is a ticket from the police. Car petrol is one of the consideration too as it will be in the budget too, but if you are travel in group you can scale that down. and lastly when you are going to return the car make sure the car is clean or else they will charge you more in your credit card. and my tips from me is if you are going to rent a car just include the insurance, you just dont know what going to happen so better safe than sorry and ya thats all you need to know when renting a car.So lets jump in to our day three activity.

Melbourne zoo

The zoo is located in the royal park, your Australia trip will not be complete if you did not see the cutest animal Koala, and there is about 5000 animal in Melbourne zoo, so this going to be hell epic animal experience. When i grow up i used to watch Crocodile Hunter the amazing late Steve Irwin, he is like my true hero when come to wild life. haha. So everytime im going to Australia zoo Steve Irwin always come in my mind.This Zoo is so big so this might take a one day to explore.

Brighton beach

Get your sunblock and we are going to the beach, yeah!!!!.. so we will going to the famous beach here in Melbourne which is Brighton Beach. i would suggest we are going here on the afternoon, selepas dari zoo cari makan untuk lunch then after that we are going to the Brighton Beach. so we can take a photo on that colourfull bath house. well ya everyone that come here have this picture on thier instagram so lets go for that, i know its sound like wow another same picture, but again why not??? haha..since we have car and in control of our time i think its no harm for us to mandi pantai di sini, at least we can experience the cold sea water. right?!!!!! So ya day 3 is over only doing two activity, the rest after that free to do anything maybe we can drive around the city to enjoy the night life in Melbourne.

Speaking about night life, my previous experience Australian not really into the night life, most shop close even after 6pm and some 9pm, only some bar will be open so i dont know man, but maybe its different in Melbourne.

Luna Park Melbourne

So this is optional, admin almost forget Melbourne have a theme park, so if you are someone who love theme park rider then admin suggest korg boleh pergi sini instead of go to the beach. But offcoz if you in the group let decide majority who wanna go which places. ye lah kalau bergerak dalam group its important semua pun boleh enjoy ngan activitiy yang kita decide untuk buat. Alright?

Mcm admin ckp td ni optional korang oleh pergi sama ada zoo, pantai atau theme park, and all of this three places takes about setengah hari untuk you truly enjoy the activity.Good Luck!!

Day 4 Great Ocean Road trip

Everytime admin pergi travel, dapat chance memandu di negara orang is basically the activity that i excited the most. Perasaan buat roadtrip bersama kawan-kawan tu yang buat admin rasa happy betul, tambah lagi dengan kawan-kawan yang memang sekepala jauh macam mana pun perjalanan tu memang tidak akan terasa. So thats why everytime i go travel im trying to include driving activity, and lagi-lagi this one sgt excited because we will driving along the Southeastern Ocean road which called Great Ocean Road.

There is so many beautiful places we can go here but first a little info about Great Ocean Road, Jalan ni dibina tahun 1922 dan siap pada tahun 1932, mengambil masa lebih kurang sepuluh tahun. Jalan yang dibina di tepi Southeastern Ocean ni sejauh 243KM. Admin plan just drive from starting point of great ocean road sampai lah ke Port Campbell sahaja, stay one night di Port Campbell pastu besok pagi we check out and go for another long roatrip.

so admin suggest driving seawal selepas subuh dari Melbourne ke Great Ocean Road. So we can maximise our time dari terbazir di jalan jadi kita jalan awal sampai pun awal and our goal pun achieve semua…hows that?..good?

Melbourne city —-> Memorial Arc (Great Ocean Road)

 

Click For Map –>

So ya as i mention above, the best time to take off is after solat subuh, so we will driving with sun still not rise and i can feel the coldness breeze outside the window already haha..it take around 2 hour to get here. Memorial arc is the starting point of Great Ocean Rod so there is beautiful landmark here we can visit and i read some of the blog you can have breakfast here too because there is alot of restourant in here..

Memorial Arc —>  Teddy Lookout

it takes about 18 minit from memorial arc to here, its a lookout and yeah its one of the recommendation for a stop.so yeah why not..and yes becarefull when driving next to the ocean the road most definitely windy and just becarefull

Teddy Lookout —> Kennett River Koala Walk

 

Click For Map –>

From what i have search this is the place to see the wild Koala. If you want to experience and seeing Koala in the wild this should be on you stop list. Its once and lifetime experience and mungkin feeling dia berbeza banding koala yang ada di zoo haha

Kennett River Koala Walk —> Cape Patton

Another 7 minute driving, tidak jauh sangat. macam saya cakap sebelum ni tempat tempat attraction ni berdekatan, so we just need to be aware where we wanna go.well maybe we can stop a few minute and take picture and enjoy the view.

Cape Patton Lookout —> Carriss Brook Waterfall

 

Click For Map –>

Selepas berhenti di cape patton kita akan driving lebih kurang dalam 10minit dan hiking dalam 10minit jugak lepas tu jumpa lah carriss brook waterfall. this going to be once in a life time experience so i hope you understand of my hectic itinerary haha..

Carriss Brook Waterfall —> Cape Otway

 

Click For Map –>

From the picture that i see, it is beautiful. the light house tersergam indah berlatar belakang Southeastern Ocean and admin boleh rasa angin mesti sangat kuat di sini ye lah tepi laut kot…Dont worry guyz i will be making a short version of itinerary kat bawah post ni…like isaid before this is more of explaining things so you will get the better picture of what am i talking about.alright?

Cape Otway —> The Twelve Apostles

 

Click For Map –>

Nahhh the star of this trip, so pergi jauh jauh driving ni sebab nak tgk The famous twelve Apostles ni lah, Sanggup driving jauh just to witness this amazing creation of Allah. Make sure ask your friends to take picture of you nice nice ya haha…but if you want to you can walk to gibson beach steps to go down to the beach.it maybe takes a couple of minute but hey take your time and enjoy the view…

The Twelve Apostles – Tom and Eva Lookout/ Lord Arc George/ London Bridge

Alright this 3 place is also one of the top recommendation to stop, but im afraid we dont have much time because admin mau focus untuk lebih lama di Twelve appostles tunggu sunset untuk tangkap gambar, but yeah those three places is also beautiful especially the lord arc george.well since i cant decide here why not you and your group decide what to do so you know what best for your trip..alright….

So admin will end the day 4 punya trip by going to Port Campbell for one night stay before going for another road trip tomorow morning. i’ve looking for the airbnb in here and yes it is affordable so i think this will not be a problem for your guyz too. Maybe that night we can sleep early so that we will have fresh mind when driving early in the morning to Mount Buller

Day 5 Road trip to Mount Buller

so another long drive from Port Campbell to Mount Buller, it takes about 6 hour drive without stop, for this trip admin decide not to singah mana mana sebab takut tidak cukup masa di Mt Buller, we might stop for gas and toilet but mainly focus on getting to the destination. Fun Fact about Mt Buller you actually can skiing there, on june to august is the winter season. so plan well your trip ya guyz. haha. Mt Buller is 1805 above sea level, its not that high but since it is located south australia then this place is very cold. it did get snow here.

Entry to the skii resort is about aud $60 per vehicle but if you book online it can be as cheap $48 only. so book wisely guyz do everything online these day so you can get the best deal possible. Admin belom pernah lagi ada experience skiing so yeah why not right??..haha..and because we are going to extreme cold place then we need a proper cloth for this one.so bring you thick winter jacket ok.

Day 6 Back to CBD

So ussually hari hari terakhir percutian ni admin make my itinerary is as santai as possible to relaks and yeah enjoy a bit, not rushing and everything. From Mount Buller to CBD it takes about 3jam lebih, so yeah maybe along the way and im sure there will be like a lot of good place to stop. Because we are driving on the National Park possible passing through waterfall and iconic places so yeah we will make a stop. Like i said just now, last day of the trip i will make it so relaks and upon arriving to our last stay usually admin akan ambil masa untuk jalan sekeliling look around for souvenir shop untuk d bawa balik. shopping sikit sikit mana tahu belom cukup lagi shopping hari pertama sampai haha…

Haha walaupun admin tulis itinerary ni sekarang tapi rasa excited to macam membuak buak sudah haha, i really hope next year we all can travel already..and i will be so much happy if you want to use this itinerary too, its free of charge. But off coz its not perfect, do check the time and places so that you will have a smoother trip. so with that thanks a million sebab baca sampai ke bawah ni and if you think this is very usefull or you know someone that want to travel to melbourne or maybe Melbourne is your next destination feel free to use this itinerary and please share this to your friends.

Bercuti Dalam Negeri | Kirams Village Kundasang Sabah

Hi hi hi, Assalamualaikum semua, how are you my friends?? my silence readers? and you, ya you the one that just stoping by to check out my humble stupid blog, haha anyway i hope you guyz in the very best of health, semoga Allah permudahkan segala urusan anda semua di samping kita menjaga kesihatan dan keselamatan diri masing-masing especially during this pandemic time. Well im not gonna stop talking about this pandemic covid-19 thing, because we still combating this so called war and yet we still not winning, so i’ll keep talking about this to remind all of us to stay safe and always always follow the SOP by the authorites and goverment.

Allright done about that, and ya admin tahu semua orang masih concern tentang Covid-19 ni, lebih-lebih lagi kalau anda semua ingin travel sama ada untuk tujuan kerja atau bercuti, tapi kalau kita semua ikut SOP tu insyallah you’ll having a great time. Jadi masa ni lah kita keluar untuk mengunjungi tempat tempat local yang mungkin anda belum pernah jejak kaki di sana. Dalam masa yang sama juga kita support local business. Di sabah, tourism industry is badly affected because of this pandemic, so sekurang kurang nya kalau kita bercuti di tempat sendiri sedikit sebanyak memberi nafas kepada industri pelancongan tempatan.

So untuk trip kali ni, admin with my 4 others friends decide to give us a one Cold resting get away night in Kundasang Ranau. Seperti biasa admin selalu buat last minit trip kalau hujung minggu tu memang tiada plan untuk di buat. Dan macam biasalah kalau plan last minit ni semua pun last minit, jadi orang bilang semua pun nda perpect, kurang itu ini, masa lari dari apa yang kena plan jadi bila semua pun tidak ikut plan end up penat dan plan berehat tu haha mcm tersasar sedikit. Tapi apa yang penting masa yang di luangkan ngan kawan-kawan tu yang penting, at least we can catch up with each other with ya lah ngan everyone life and everything.

Minggu lepas kami book a night in Kiram village in kundasang Ranau just only for rm150++, rumah tu actually untuk 2 orang, tapi since kami 5 orang then kena la tambah 3 extra bed lagi untuk kami berlima. Cukup lah untuk kami dapat tidur, berehat, Main mobile legend, makan minum solat ketawa dan semua lah.haha. Actually di Kundasang ni setiap rumah tu macam semua pun kena convert jadi homestay, jadi kalau bercuti di sini untuk tiada tempat tinggal tu memang mustahil lah, tapi mungkin masa peak time macam cuti sekolah, pekan Kundasang memang pack ngan kereta and mungkin homestay semua fully book and harga pun mungkin akan naik sedikit.

Kami gerak dari Beaufort hari jumaat jam 3 petang, sebab tunggu semua kawan berkumpul, singgah KK makan lepas tu terus ke Kundasang. Dengan keadaan hujan yang lebat di kebanyakan tempat sepanjang perjalanan tu, lepas tu di tambah lagi dengan hari jumaat petang traffic jem, nah last-last kami sampai kiram village 10 minit lagi jam 10malam.haha.Sedikit stressfull menghadap traffic jem di jalan ngan hujan lagi, tapi bila sampai di sana dengan keadaan cuaca yang sangat cerah full moon lagi, lepas tu dengan suhu yang sangat sejuk lagi buat kami hilang rasa stress tu. 13’c tu bagi admin kalau malam memang sejuk sudah rasa nya, so sampai saja kemas rumah tu,susun barang pastu solat,pastu makan meggi ramai-ramai haha pastu main Mobile legend haha, nasib lah line sana bagus jadi sempat lagi lah melayan mobile legend

Around jam 2 pagi tu baru kami decide untuk tidur, tapi admin yang insomanic ni memang berjaga lah jawab nya. Admin punya masalah untuk tidur lagi lagi kalau tempat tu tempat baru, admin memang tidak dapat tidur. Rasanya admin cuma dapat tidur dalam jam 4.30 pagi haha. Ini masalah admin,susah untuk tidur walaupun penat, kadang admin jelous betul dengan orang yang baring jak terus tidur. Thats tallent ok, and sadly i cant do that unless i take my allergy pills than i can fall a sleep easlly.

Actually untuk trip kali ni admin mau buat content youtube, tapi tu lah mcm admin cakap tadi bila plan last minit, packing pun last minit, admin ada bawa drone tapi lupa masuk kan memory card, haha terus admin mcm arghhhh tiada mood sdh mau buat video untuk youtube. Macam semua lah tidak kena, memang sedih tapi tu lah maybe next time.haha.Plan memang awal datang ke Kundasang, sebab mau lawat tempat tempat latest attraction, mungkin hiking and tengok view pekan Kundasang dari bukit, tapi gerak pun lambat so datang pun lambat lah. Ini lah jadi nya bila plan trip last minit haha, lepas tu masih ada lagi tempat tempat attraction di Kundasang ni belom buka, seperti Dairy farm belom di buka untuk pengunjung, dengan Poring Ranau pun belum buka, so i really need to come again hahaha.

So di jadikan cerita sudah lah admin tidor jam 4.30 pagi, itu pun tidur-tidur ayam terbangun balik dalam jam 5.30pagi mcm tu sebab alarm dah bunyi untuk solat subuh, so terus lah bangun pastu kami decide jalan-jalan di luar untuk hirup udara segar yang sejuk dan menikmati keindahan gunung kinabalu yang tersergam indah di belakang home stay kami. Sangat-sangat cantik, walaupun sudah tengok balik-balik tapi tidak pernah terlintas di fikiran admin bosan sudah pergi Kundasang. Admin rasa bertuah betul ni jadi anak Sabah sebab ada gunung kinabalu, ohh FYI admin sdh dua kali tawan gunung kinabalu taw..huhu..

Ohh Sebelum ni jalan ke Mesilau resort tempat berlepas untuk mendaki gunung kinabalu tu ditutup disebabkan oleh gempa bumi yang berlaku tahun 2015, the whole resort challet and homestay fall down and they have to close it down, i feel so sad because my first time climbing the Mount Kinabalu is from Mesilau, and admin consider lucky sebab berpeluang naik gunung dari sana where most of my friends never had chance like mine..Now jambatan untuk ke mesilau tu sudah di baiki kereta boleh naik ke sana sudah, and the view from there is so beautiful so banyak jugak lah kami bergambar di sini, so kalau kamu ke Kundasang jangan lupa ke sini.

Dalam jam 9 pagi kami balik homestay prepare breakfast and packing up all of our stuff and dalam jam 11 pagi mcm tu kami check out and gerak ke pekan Kundasang, beli sayur dan beli Cactus kiriman kawan.Beli sayur di Kundasang ni sangat murah dan fresh Rm10 untuk 3 jenis sayur, boleh satu jenis sayur atau campur campur sayur, kalau di Sabah ni Sayuran di beli bukan dengan cara timbang, best kan? murah lah offcoz tapi kalau beli borong kena lah timbang hehe..pastu kami decide untuk ke Kinabalu National Park tapi bila tengok kereta parking di Kinabalu National Park tu penuh terus nda jadi sebab mesti ramai orang pergi ke Timpohon tempat berlepas untuk naik gunung Kinabalu tu, jalan sempit untuk kereta kalau banyak nanti takut susah pusing haha.

So sebab tidak singgah di National Park jadi kami decide untuk pergi makan di Restoran Puteri Nabalu, its a very decent restoran the food sana sedap ok cuma maybe a bit pricey lah, but overall kami kenyang so thats what matter. So after that terus head back to Beaufort and alhamdulilah keadaan jalan sangat baik cuma di Kota Kinabalu saja banyak kali tersangkut jem.

alright thats all folks, haha panjang nau blog post ni, so siapa siapa yang baca sampai kat bawah ni i totaly respect you and terima kasih banyak banyak yang tidak terhingga banyak nya haha..alright until next time and if you have anything to ask just ask down below on the comment section ya..bye…

Top 10 Places i Wanna Go Before i Die

Hello everyone,Assalamualaikum how do guys doing?. i hope you guyz all doing great. So ya anyway this is another blog or thread of 10 places i wanna go before i die. haha. although the title is a little depressing but i dont wanna talk about depressing thing on this post,the words is just like a metaphor for me to work even harder to achieve my goal. Even if this will not ever going to happen but at least i have set a dream to enjoy every time i want to close my eyes every night. giteww!! but at the same this blog will maybe or perhaps give you an idea wow i never knew the existing of this beautiful places, and yes if you think the same way, i think it wouldn’t hurt anyone by making this list. so lets jump in to the thread.

No 1. Mecca The Forbidden city

As a muslim, this will be your ultimate goal in order to fulfill the five pillars of islam. Although it depends on your financial ability then you are required to do so..I believe without hesitation every muslim on the face of earth will say they want to go to Mecca at least once in thier life. Every time im seeing a picture of beautiful Kaabah, my heart be like “oh my god im missing this place so much although i never been there”.have you feeling the same way like this? i know right??Masyallah!!..i cant even believe how peaceful that would be to pray over there. i really hope and pray may Allah ease all of us and give the ability to go there right on your financial, your health and the time.

No 2. South Island, New Zealand

i would impose Lord Of The Ring movie to be blame on this one, since my childhood after watching the LOTR movie i feel like wow, thats another heaven on earth. Looking at the never ending mountain with the spread of white snow from afar is like a dream that i dont want to wake up to. Even just looking at any video on youtube showing New Zealand i literally can fell the cold breeze air on my lung. If this dream going to happen, i have plan that i will be renting a camper van and drive around the south island for maybe at least a month, and experience the heaven on earth. sleeping under the beautiful star, waking up to a fresh air and feeling the heat of sunrise arising over the mountain, sipping the hot coffee to overcome the cold air, and lay down to look at the cloud chasing each other in the blue sky. How can you not dreaming of that?..haha sorry im soft!!so would you be joining me exploring new zealand?

No 3. Banff National Park, Canada

Man, im obses with mountain, blue lakes, Tall pine tree, blue sky and the list is go on. Since youtube introduce me with van life, camper van life, rv life the american and canadian youtuber, taking advantage on beautiful Banff National Park. i Just discover this beautiful place on 2020 while i been using the beautiful blue Moraine lakes desktop wallpaper on my macbook since i cant even remember. This beautiful places is always been infront of my eyes and i dont even know it, what a mystery just eager to be discover. But im glad i finally getting to know this beautiful places, although this is my no 3 list, i dont putting too much hope this going to happen because im broke hahaha…but amen may Allah ease my dream and get a chance to live this dream.

No 4. Istanbul, Turkey

After my sister come back from her Umrah, they have detour to Istanbul Turkey. Looking at their picture of the beautiful Blue Masjid, Hagia Sophia Masjid and the beautiful historical places in Istanbul makes me wanna go there experience myself. From Byzantium empire to Roman Empire to Ottoman Empire, surely Istanbul is rich of beautiful culture inside there to be discover. The beautiful historical building always amaze me, and the city which majority of muslim, i feel so eager to come there and learn the culture as it what it makes most of us today. Turkey is the country that consist of Asia and Europe, this cultural collision what makes Istanbul stand out among the most diversify cultural city ever exist. Mind you if you are fan of ASMR massage you will definitely come across this ASMR Anik Cakmak youtube channel, because of him i wanna go there and experience this soothing massage,the turkish bath or hammam. call me crazy haha but i really wanna do that, well ya after explore around the city, having a good massage after that is a must.

No 5, Northern Lights.

Just imagine when you get out from your house and you look above the sky you see the aurora light dancing among the star, the beautiful neon light moving along with the silence music of the darkness night, that easily steal your breath away. and yes there is no wrong giving your imagination to the next level of pure jealousy to those who is now living in the northern side of the earth. Among those country are Canada, Iceland, Norway, Alaska, sweden, Greenland and Finland which closer to artic cirlce. i totally jealous of you guyz who staying there and stay mesmerize every night with that beautiful northern star. If i have to choose i probably go to Iceland or sweden, because the country is simply beautiful and i wanna go there before i die. Dont get me wrong other list country is beautiful too.

No 6, Switzerland

Last year my friend ask me to make an itinerary for his trip to France and Switzerland. well because im so excited for his trip i jump to my macbook and start researching. it take me about 2 3 days to search and stumble into a whole bunch of good stuff Switzerland could offer. well ya i do research about france too, but the city of romance didnt give me so much impact beside than false expectation everytime you visit france, well this offcoz based on people blog and youtube vlog,and so france never come across in my mind to visit. But Switzerland that excited me the most. ya i always knew Switzerland is a beautiful country, surround with amazing mountain, beautiful scenery, people and i think the greenest grass you could ever see on the planet. From Zurich to Geneva, back to Interlaken straight to Greenwald then to Lauterbrunnen, you just cant get enough with what this places could offer you. Just to name a few there is still a lot of places i could discover and i feel like i wont close my eyes even for a second, cuz im afraid i will blinded with dissatisfaction.

No 7, New York City, USA

As soon as my plane landed in John F Kennedy International Airport New York, Im going to listen “Welcome To New York” by Taylor Swift on repeat while staring outside my windows seat, and let the city wake me up from my dream.I could easily imagine this and dreaming with a smile on my face with my eyes close. Thanks to Youtuber Eric Conover, Sara dietchy,Action kids and last but not least Casey neistat for showing me New York on your vlog. The city that never sleep, the most multi cultural hub you could ever found on the planet, the neon light that never stop advertising your needs, lost intentionally like Kevin Mccalister from central park to times square, all this memory feel like real but yet to happen. Thats why New York city is the place i wanna go before i die.

No 8, Tokyo, Japan

OMG even mentioning the name “Tokyo”, i already dreaming of me lost in direction, mute in translation, drunk in ever symmetric building, road and sign, and probably blinded with the 10 years advance culture ahead from us and the rest of the world. Who could ever forget the scene in the fast and the furious : Tokyo Drift where the car is drifting in the most busiest intersection in the world,Shibuya Crossing. I feel like every one in tokyo have their own responsibility to make the Shibuya Crossing busy and i feel like its their routine everyday to keep that title. Apart from 10 years ahead from the rest of us in term of technology but you probably know japanese taking good care of their culture. From food to fashion back to architecture, in slight glance you know when you see something out of extraordinary, its japan. Thats how powerful this country is, how can you dont wanna go here and experience it yourself, so that’s why tokyo japan made to the list.

No 9, a Trip to Balkans Countries

What is the Balkan countries? its knows as the Balkan Peninsula and stated in Southeastern Europe. and it consist of Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Romania, Serbia and Slovenia. if i have money and time, i will definitely do a round trip to this country fully. Seeing my friend travel and doing solo girl trip to Balkans country almost like choking me with shame, they can do it and enjoy the trip while im here worrying about my safety.haha. So i have decide Balkans countries will be on my list, places that i wanna go before i die.. Have you seen the old architecture building, a very goth like castle where the vampire waiting for you knocking the handle knob and invite you in with fangs hiden inside his seductive smile. i will definitely want to experience that before i die.

No 10, a Trip to Europe City

London, Berlin, Rome, Paris, Copenhagen, Amsterdam, Madrid, Lisbon and Dublin. This a among the major city in Europe. i do seeing someone doing all around trip between this country, and they does inspire me to do the same if i have a lot of money.haha. well you know you just dont know what your future hold, so keep on dreaming thats why this is the places i wanna go before i die. if i want this trip to become reality i would just pack one backpack, my camera a few of my shirt, book a flight and go. Let time and my dream show me the way. Can you imagine that?. i know it sound crazy and scary at the same time, traveling alone with no one to rely to except yourself. i think when you are alone in foreign country, automatically survival mode is switch on, you’ll be aware everything surround you either its good or bad, and making mistake is the way to learn from this life. So i think by doing this trip is much like a life lesson that everyone should have.wouldn’t you?

So ya, thats the end of this post. I know maybe in the future this list might be changing or i dont know maybe i dont even like them anymore, so it depends on what might showing in my time line the future. So ya everyone is entitled to give opinion on this, but im not welcome hate comment or just even negative vibe to here. Just be happy for me okay, even though this is probably genuinely impossible to coming true, but like i said, you just dont know what you might have in the future. And if you think we have the same dream share this with your friends and family or your travel buddy for that matter. thanks again for reading this blog and thank you very much for even reading till the end of this blog.

Pengalaman Memandu 450km Dari Perth Ke Albany

Pengalaman Memandu 450km Dari Perth Ke Albany

Assalamualaikum dan salam sejahtera semua. Admin harap semua nya berada dalam keadaan yang sihat walafiat di samping keadaan semasa yang masih lagi berisiko untuk kita semua menjalani kehidupan seperti biasa. Jadi kalau keluar jangan lupa SOP dan yang paling penting untuk senantiasa memakai face mask, kerana nilai muka anda berharga rm1000. ok untuk blog kali ni, admin ingin berkongsi pengalaman admin memandu sejauh 450km di negara yang terkenal dengan kanggaro ni, pemanduan lebih kurang selama 5-6 jam ni daripada kota raya perth ke Albany National Park iaitu bahagian Western Australia.

Sebenarnya trip ni admin buat pada tahun 2017 bulan Oktober 3 hari selepas hari jadi admin. Untuk Perth trip ni, admin sangat gembira sebab kami masukan albany di dalam itinerary perjalanan kami, little that we know Albany ni sangat cantik dan terkenal dengan pemandangan semula jadi, Albany juga yang di kenali sebagai Rainbow Coast memang sesuai dengan gelaran tersebut, kerana air biru lautan hindi mengelilingi persisiran laut kota Albany. Natural Rock formation hasil dari ombak ombak lautan hindi jutaan tahun lepas menjadi tarikan utama untuk sesiapa yang bercadang untuk datang ke Albany Torrndirup National Park.

Memandangkan perjalanan memakan masa dalam 5 jam, kami memulakan perjalanan sekitar jam 4 pagi, berlepas dari rumah AirBnB yang kami sewa, selepas bersarapan kami terus packing barang masuk dalam kereta dan memulakan perjalanan. Keadaan yang sejuk buat mata kami tetap segar sepanjang perjalanan. Untuk pengetahuan semua keadaan memandu di Malaysia dan Australia adalah sama, jadi tidak lah kekok untuk kami memandu di sini. Keadaan jalan yang tersangat-sangat lah baik juga melancarkan juga perjalanan kami, sepanjang perjalan, kami tidak jumpa pun jalan yang berlubang semua nya di selia dengan baik. Agaknya admin perlu contohi Australia dalam meenyediakan public fasality kepada rakyat. Untuk navigation kami menggunakan Waze untuk ke Albany, sangat mudah dah senang, kami memlilih untuk melalui jalan darat bukan tepi laut untuk menjimatkan masa dan minyak, admin tahu jalan di persisir pantai sangat cantik tapi sangat jauh, tapi admin rasa jalan country side pun sangat cantik, seluas mata memandang. BIla dah luas tu angin lintang pun ada jugak, kadang kereta admin terasa bergerak ke tengah di tolak angin, so becarefull ya.

Pemanduan selama lebih kurang sejam keadaan masih gelap, cuma lampu lampu jalan sahaja yang menerangi keadaan sepanjang perjalanan, dan lebih kurang dalam sejam itu juga kami meninggalkan kota perth dan mula melalui jalan yang cuma ada satu lorong. Tapi seperti admin cerita tadi, keadaan jalan sangat baik. Lebih kurang jam 6 pagi kami sampai pekan pertama, kelihatan seperti pekan cowboy, teratur, bersih dan sangat segara udara di sana. Kami berhenti untuk mengisi minyak kereta, kami cuma menyewa kereta toyota corrola just enough for me and my friend. Isi minyak pun cuma minyak Ron 91, harga minyak berbeza-beza, semakin jauh stesen minyak dari bandar semakin mahal lah harga, so kami decide untuk mengisi penuh.

Selepas sejam perjalanan dari hentian pertama tadi, kami melalui satu pekan kecil lagi, malangnya admin tidak ingat nama town tersebut, tapi sepanjang melalui jalan di sana kiri kanan adalah ladang ladang gandum yang seluas mata memandang, sangat cantik dan tenang hati melihat. Seperti yang admin cakap tadi, admin sangat kagum dengan keadaan yang sangat bersih di sini, i feel like everyone here hold thier own responsibilities to not litter anywhere.Sempat juga admin berhenti untuk menerbangkan drone admin, tapi keadaan footage drone sangat tidak berkualaiti sebab drone admin rosak jatuh di hari pertama di perth haha.

Sekitar jam 8 pagi kami melalui lagi satu town, dan kali ni kami amat terkejut sebab town yang kami lalui ni nama nya Beaufort, which is the name of my home town too. Jauh jauh jalan pun nama beaufort tetap ikut haha, kami berhenti untuk mengambil gambar juga sebagai kenangan. Keadaan jalan yang lurus kadang kadang buat pemandu mengantuk, kami bergilir gilir untuk menjadi pemandu. Admin juga perasaan most kereta yang kami nampak di perth ni, dekat belakang bawah bonet kereta ada cangkuk untuk tarik Caravan, budaya orang down under yang suka bercuti bersama keluarga dalam caravan sangat lah tidak asing di sini, dan sepanjang perjalanan jugak banyak tempat tempat rehat yang menyediakan parking untuk caravan.

Dalam jam 8.30pagi akhirnya kami tiba di Albany, Sampai sampai saja kami berada di kawasan tanah tinggi dan dari situ saja sudah nampak pekan, perumahan tepi laut, kapal yacht mewah berlabuh. Albany ni sudah di istihar sebagai bandar pada tahun 1998. Keadaan yang sangat tenang di sini membuat admin terfikir kalau ada duit, mahu saja untuk berpencen di sini. tapi itu cuma angan angan haha. Setiba nya kami di Albany, kami wonder around seolah sesat dengan kecantikan alam semulajadi di sini, rupanya lokasi yang kami tuju belom lagi sampai, makanya masa ada sedikit terbuang. Selepas berehat untuk makan kami terus ke Torndirrup National Park, dan park ni ada banyak attractions antara nya The Gap, Albany Wind Farm, Natural Bridge, Jimmy Newels Harbour, The Blowholes dan banyak lagi.

Attractions yang admin sebut di atas tu sajalah yang admin sempat lawat, sebenarnya semua pun berdekatan, the location is next to one another, so lepas lawat satu keluar masuk satu lagi so sangat convinient. tapi yang tak convinient tu bila sampai satu kawasan tu admin dan kawan admin memang out timing sebab tempat tu memang cantik and nak bergambar puas puas, especially the Gap and The BlowHoles tu. Ya Allah cantik sangat, tak dapat admin nak gambarkan. so sebab dah lebih masa tak dapat lah lawat semua attractions.

Admin sempat terbangkan drone di Albany wind farm, tapi tak tinggi sangat sebab angin kat sini sangat lah  kuat. Albany wind farm ini ada 18 kincir angin semua nya, tahu tak Albany wind farm ni membekalkan tenaga electric hampir 80% di seluruh Albany dari tahun 2001 lagi. Alternative power source ni memang sangat penting, lagi lagi tempat yang angin kencang ni. So maybe Malaysia should comes up with something like this, its effiecient and tidak merosakan keadaan semualjadi berbanding nak bina empangan habis hutan. Albany wind farm ni sangat luas, kami tak sempat round habis sebab nak kejar masa, bila tengok vlog orang lain rasa geram plak sebab tak sempat pergi pantai kat wind farm tu. Lepas tu jauh jauh jalan kat sini jumpa juga sekumpulan orang malaysia, what a small world.

So selepas Albany Wind Farm kami pun bersedia untuk balik, sebab dalam itinerary selepas ni kami akan ke Wave Rock, tapi bila cek Waze it is way over the time limit, kami tersalah plan untuk timing, ingat kan boleh cover 2 places in one day, kat itinerary betul sebab time calculation is from perth not from Albany, rasa sedih jugak sebab tomorow is our last day here, kalau kami paksa jugak pergi takut tak sempat masuk sebab sampai dalam around jam 6 petang, so we both decide ok lets head back to perth. On the way back to sempat jugak berhenti makan, admin makan meggi je yang admin bawa, minta air panas kat gerai yang kami singgah, kawan beli jer makanan kat situ sebab dia non muslim. sempat juga tanya ada tak winery yang kami boleh singgah, pakcik tu cakap ada tapi kami tak jumpa hahaha, so direct balik terus.

Post instagram kat sebelah ni lah waverock yang tak dapat pergi tu, cantik kan..tapi sedih tak dapat pegi..its ok insyallah next time.

So i think thats all for now, full vlog in my youtube channel i will put the link down below. So pengalaman admin memandu di negara Australia ni bagi admin membuka mata admin lah, negara maju mcm ni hujung pelusuk kampung negara diorang pun facility sangat baik, orang kampung atau those people yang live at country side, still dapat jalan raya yang cukup baik. itu yang admin betul-betul nampak keadaan di sini, dalam hati admin berfikir mungkin wakil rakyat kat sini buat kerja dan tiada rasuah. Jadi semua duit peruntukan untuk kemajuan sampai di gunakan secara sempurna, kat Malaysia jangan cakap lah. Sedih geng. Dan lagi orang orang sini civic dorang sangat tinggi, kebersihan tu macam wajib untuk dorang, follow the rules, i think most of them follow esp kat jalan tu, elok je bawa kereta, jumpa jugak kereta yang di bawa macam pelesit, bila potong tengok offcoz lah Malaysian. tengok je tahu muka orang malaysia ,i dont need to specify how they look like but i know.haha.

Anyway thanks for anyone yang sampai baca ayat yang kat bawah bawah ni, rajin nau kau membaca yer. haha..kalau ada apa apa nak tanya, silakan comment kat bawah yer. Bye Assalamualaikum.

Walaupun kita masih dalam PKPP menjadi tanggungjawab kita semua untuk menjaga diri, mematuhi SOP yang di sediakan untuk mencegah pandemic Covid-19 ni.

Konsep berkhemah sangat popular di sini, admin pun mengambil peluang ini untuk merasa sendiri pengalaman berkhemah di bawah bintang di kaki gunung kinabalu di tepi sungai yang air nya mengalir dari gunung kinabalu.

Kos serendah RM20 bagi mereka yang berminat untuk menginap di sini, kemudahan asas juga di sediakan, bagi mereka yang kekurangan peralatan khemah dan lain lain semua nya ada di sediakan cuma perlu membayar sewa sahaja. Banyak aktiviti riadah yang boleh di lakukan di sini terutama nya aktiviti sungai, hiking dan jugak aktiviti keluarga seperti BBQ dan sebagainya.

Tips Untuk Kaki Travel Budget Dalam Group Part 2

Hi Assalamualaikum semua.. so this is Part 2 of the previous post, so tanpa membuang masa lets continue to tips No 6.

6. Bring Your Own Small BagPack Or Sling Bag

Ya some of us love to bring lot of thing but tidak suka bawa beg?..so yang jadi mangsa org yg bawa beg, bagi masuk botol minuman sy d beg kau,tumpang drone di beg kau,tumpang make up bag tmpt kau,tumpang power bank tempat kau,tumpang pempers d beg kau?..ehh hahaha…amboii senang betul kau order keldai bawa pigi travel sekali…plzz guyz bring your own bag, don’t do that to your kwn travel..ya lah kadang2 kita ni tidak jgk berkira ok jgk, tapi kalau kau sdh jalan kaki mau 3km kwn kau lengang2 jln depan kau, kau sana mcm keldai nda cukup air bw barang..soooo?kalau fhm kan senang…

7. Picture 1 2 3….

So, siapa travel tidak mau ambik gambar?plz angkat tangan?..tiada kan?..semua pn mau begambar…semua pun mau simpan sebagai kenangan di hari tua…giteww…picture of the day utk instagram post, facebook post semua lah…ahhh itu belom lg yang gila mau rakam vlog..ook this no 7 kita focus on taking picture..plz guyz kalau tngkap gmbr tu..tngkp gmbr dengan ikhlas hahaha…klu tidak cantik you ask ur frens to pose again…sdh smpi jauh jauh then gmbr mcm org tahan berak…so win win situation…I know some people sgt cerewet when come to taking picture, but you will learn from your travelling day and you will know what your friends like ms ambik gmbr.…tapi kalau tlampau over begambar smpi gangu kamu pnya timing utk next destination then alarm your group you need to catch time or paling bagus set a time utk begambar bila sampai..

8. Follow The Rules

If you are travelling to foreign country, tolong hormat and ikut Negara orang punya peraturan, we are pelancong and we are most likely to be known as ambassador/duta for Malaysia. Do you want to be label as ohh Malaysian tourist is so pengotor very rude reckless driver all that stuff..do you want that?..i know deep in your heart nah who cares?we are likely only contribute 1 percent of whole Malaysian why should I bother…oh ya? Cuba kau ada rumah org kasi kotor rumah kau?kau ada kereta sewa org kasi kemek kereta kau?kau bother ka tidak?..same goes when you are travelling, sometime we are staying at AIRBNB house or hostel,if the house rules said no make noise,no smooking, no litter anywhere ..simple bah tu just follow the rules..or if you are renting a car, plz follow the road regulation,simple as follow the speed limit,give signal when turning,tdk memotong ngn reckless all that stuff like you do in Malaysia.plzz follow the rules because between your group someone credit card, someone passport, some one ID yang kamu guna untuk sewa tu rumah kereta or even hotel..so klu something happen due to breaking the rules tu nah orang kena pakai credit card nya utk register tu kena charge or fined or worst dpt saman dari authorities..unless kau ada credit card sendiri pakai sendiri then kau buat apa suka…I know maybe most of the time we get away from it but somehow your lucky day not going to stick with you forever…so plz foloow the rules..

9. Plan Your Travel

Plz pick a time and do a meet up in your group untuk discuss apa aktiviti yang perlu di buat ms travelling nanti. So everyone will comes up with an idea apa yang korang suka makan, aktiviti,shoping and bnyk lagi..so in your meeting you can siapkan all the ittenerary while kamu di sana, so travelling kamu akan lebih smooth without pening mana mau makan what to eat and stuff..for example when come to eat everyone taste of food is maybe different, so if someone suggesting a restaurant to eat and you don’t feel it but your friend excited to go, plz don’t give that I piss on my pants look?muka tekencing dlm seluar?..plz don’t do that just go there enjoy and tell them ok next we go to my place plak..ahh mcm tu…don’t stop any of your friends if they want to go to club,go to massage,go to holy place to pray,just don’t stop them and don’t judge..as long as you know how to take care of yourself then all good…and ya create a whats app group,so you can update anything and add anything you wanna do.
