Eastern Australia Trip. Day 5 : Gold Coast

Hoping that the weather would be nice
Gold Coast is known for it's theme park. We were contemplated between Dreamworld and Warner Bro's Movie World. Some reviews said that the rides are bigger and balder, the Dreamworld. But then we finally decided on the Movie World. Yeahh.. there are others attraction like Sea World, Wet 'n Wild and the list goes on...

The park opens at 10 am, but we arrived early, it was 20 minutes from The Shore. The sky started to show that it would be raining soon. Anyhow, we should stay indoor in the theme park. Since I didn't made any reservations early or booked online, we just joined the not so long ticketing counter queue. After getting the park's map, we started with the farthest section since we don't want to join the crowd. It wasn't too many riders as compared to others theme park that we've been so far. The wait wasn't too long.

Had to skip this Justice League ride as Nu'man doesn't exceed the minimum heights
Queuing for the Looney Toon's Road Runner 4D shows 
Austin Power and his girls made appearance on the Main Street
The park was divided into 4 main sections, as usual, the Main Street, WB Kids, DC Comic Superhero and a 'bummer' Wild West Adventure Park. None of its rides are operational, sigh...Wild west located at the farthest section, and when we walked back, the Hollywood Stunt Driver was just about to start. We knew it from the roaring engine sounds from the speaker to attract the passersby.

Hmmm…. I'm not familiar with the DC comic's superhero
Who has the fastest speed?
It still early to grab for lunch
Though the coaster started a bit late but the ride was fun
It's like a ghost town, none of the attractions are operational... boooo!!!!
We took the Doomsday Destroyer rides more than twice! Don't have to queue at all
An outstanding stunt show from the Hollywood Stunt Driver
Say cheese...!
The kiddos play land... and we got entertained either!
Free soft drink refill anywhere in the park when you buy this bottle
Fish and Chips anyone?
In which series that this car appears?
A big Scoobert for him
Late afternoon, we stopped at Islamic Society of Gold Coast in Arundel for the Asr prayer. Then, moved on to the Pacific fair shopping center. One thing that we really loved in Australia was the milk. Almost every each day we bought the cheap fresh milk. And we were so tempted with freshness of  the fruits and vegetables, especially grapes. Fragrances were also part of the things that we look unto. We were searching high and low for  Bvlgari Coral as my cousin requested. The next day was more relaxing, we went for outlet shopping.

The Asr time at 4.15pm

An open-air garden in the center of the complex
Among the brands in the Pacific Fair
Saved this shop for the outlet bargains

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.

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..
