Eastern Australia Trip. Day 8 : Moreton Islands

It would rather a short stay in Moreton Island, considering a lot of things you can do. From snorkeling around the dramatic shipwrecks, to the sand tobogganing in the desert.

We only enticed with the dolphin feeding program, other than we had the desert experience last year. We had to depart for Brisbane at 1.30-ish. Nu'man insisted to swim in the sea that morning, despite non-stop raining since yesterday. I just followed his wished.

We hopped in to the photo shop to check whether our's are ready to pick up. The resort provide official professional photographer to capture that precious moment. Little that we know about the Tinkerbell's dolphin family, until we got out pictures. We took pictures with Betts and Calypso on 1st encounter, Echo and Nari, next!



Only big apartments get the sea view room, but we don't need that space!

Once arrived at Pinkenba, we drove to Fortitude Valley and check-in to Terrace in Gregory Apartments. It was located near to the Rydges Hotel, where my wife will be presenting her paper in the 10th International Conference on Computer and Automation Engineering conference.

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..
