Eastern Australia Trip. Day 10 : Brisbane

Time was apparently envious of us. Second day in Brisbane was much of visited interesting places in the vicinity in the evening. My wife attended the ICCAE event at the Rydges Fortitude Valley after breakfast until the late of afternoon. Nu'man and I contended to walk around the neighborhood. There was an Old Museum, 100 meters away from our apartment, we was about to sightseeing. But not until I realized that it used to be a museum, now homed the Queensland Youth Orchestras. The old building was quite nice though.

Approaching the afternoon, I cooked for the lunch. Nu'man had almost that day in the swimming pool. He has got acquainted with the resident's kids while I watched the Winter Olympic Games held in Pyeongyang, South Korea. I got my chances to start blogging, even though I know it would took months to complete the 12-days visit to the eastern Australia.




Wahhh... seronok laa Nu'man dapat kawan baru

We then drove towards Holman Street and reach to the end of the Kangaroo's Point. It connected to the CBD through the Story Bridge. For those who dare to test out your adrenaline level, can try the Bridge Climbing, with the sunset view is recommended. We stopped at the Cliff Park

My wife insisted to have Malaysian dishes for our dinner. After searching on the net, we found a Tandoor House, not far from the Kangaroo Point. It has a good rating, so we headed to Camp Hill, 7 km from the Cliff Park. We were greeted by the Penangites restaurant owner on we hoped in. We saw most of the tables were reserved, but no one in the restaurant. We decided to sit outside and ordered the naan bread with tandoori chicken. It's tastes...? Wonderful!

When we were finishing our meal, the restaurant already full house

Journey Review

Thinking of the same idea as what Zarin did in his wrapping up post, I'll do the same for the sake of my own record.  This post will be updated from time to time. Some of the trip may have a  specific write-up  and you may click on the travelling month. Here is the world travel map, courtesy of TripAdvisor. A bit of Statistics: Total countries visited = 22/195 [Last updated : September 2023] Our Travel Map. [Courtesy of TripAdvisor. According to them, we only covered 13% of the Earth at the moment :P .... still long way to go and we didn't show USA map as to when we will be there]

Indonesia Island Trip. Day 1: Lombok - Gili Terawangan

Sarapan pagi  kat airport We had been rotating to visit the Southeast Asia country each year and this is the fourth time visit to Indonesia after Bali (2010),  Bukittinggi (2012) and Bandung (2014). Looks like we made a return every 2 years, that's interesting! We may need to consider other countries like Brunei, Philippines or Cambodia in the near future. Three hours later, we arrived Lombok International Airport at noon. We were welcomed by Pak Ibrahim's staff shortly after clearing immigration and collecting our luggage. The weather that day was slightly overcast. En route to Teluk Kodek Port, we stopped at Sukarara Weaving Village. By the time we reached there, it was raining heavily. It is a traditional craft of weaving center located in Lombok West Nusa Tenggara. Not much seen as it felt, we had  ayam taliwang for lunch at Taliwang Alam Nyaman restaurant, known for its famous local dish. Alpukat Jus (Avocado Juice) is also a must try whenever you vi...

Singapore Trip: A lion-city escapade

Watch out! It is a zika-free :P trip to the city of light that we had on the 2nd mid-term school holiday, apart from the 'balik kampung' to Ipoh and JB on both week end. My wife managed to secure a stay for 2 nights at the 'Rumah Peranginan Persekutuan' where it supposed to be a big family trip with my siblings.  It was a big vacation house, which I believe can cater at least 15-20 people. For some reasons, they had to turn it down. Note: Pictures taken are not in the best quality as I'm still get my hands on the new DSLR camera.. wink.. wink..
