Perth-fect Holiday! Part 3: Rottnest Island

Hi lovelies,

Hari ni nak sambung cerite trip Australia. So, this is the finale of my Perth report...and of course --- the best part of the trip! It's about Rottnest Island -- Western Australia's premier island gateway and very popular for its picturesque sceneries, fine beaches and spectacular bays. Doubt it? Let the pictures do the talking......

Okay.. gambar kat atas cilok from website.. yg bawah nie baru snap sendiri.. hehe.. almaklum, kamera bukan DSLR.. kalau quality kureng sket harap maklum ye :)

pristine bay and white sandy beach

The name of Rottnest came from Quokka. The person that found the Island mistakenly took Quokka as a big rat. Hence he named the Island as - "Rat's Nest" or Rottnest in Dutch language

Back to the story! 

We departed from Fremantle Northport Terminal to Rottnest Island by taking Rottnest Express. You can choose to take day tour or hire snorkeling gear and bicycle before you depart (this will be included in your ticket fares). Since we are not good at snorkeling, we just took the bike (yelaa... dia bagi goggle je, no flippers, no life jacket. so x yakin benor nk snorkel kat situ... huhuhu). Our tickets to Rottnest + bike hire cost us total of $170. Oh ya, please bear in mind that there is no car on Rottnest Island. To explore the island, you need to take their tour bus/tram or use bike. If you love challenge, do experience biking! Just make sure you bring lots of water, hat, sunglass & SUNBLOCK!

We arrived at Thomson Bay and our bikes were given there. We never thought that we need to cycle uphill and downhill along the circuit road. It's 24km round trip!.. and to make it worse, there is no drinking facilities outside the settlement. We were totally unprepared and unaware of the route but luckily we managed to get to the places we wanted to visit (i.e Parker Point, Salmon Bay and Wadjemup Lighthouse).

at Parker Point

Wadjemup Lighthouse. 

The lighthouse was our turning point, i think we already cycled about 5km when we reached there. We was very exhausted and we don't have much water left to continue our ride. Plus, if we continue till the end point of the island, we will be running out of time to get on our ferry back. Overall, we cycled more than 10km that day! We were satisfied enough to get to the lighthouse and enjoy the scenery since there were few times that I nearly gave up (dahlaa i ade asthma, pastue lame giler tak workout. tup2 kena bawak mountain bike kayuh naik turun bukit.... dengan panas terik, air x cukup, kaki lenguh, punggung pon sakit..manelaa x rase down kan.. huhu)

On the way back to Thomson Bay, we passed through few lakes (i.e Herschel Lake and Pearse Lake). We spotted few wind turbines. The scenery was nice since the water look pinkish (it is salt lake.. i think the reflection from the sunlight made the water look pinkish). Sadly the water didn't turned out pink in our camera.

After we took our lunch (and definitely few bottles of water), we decided to go at The Basin which is one of the best beaches there. We spotted Bathurst Lighthouse and group of quoakkas along the way to The Basin.

The Basin

where most people swim

what about us? we do sunbathing! hehehe. swim sket2 je. tak tahan panas terik

We spent some time soaking ourselves in the water and enjoyed sunbathing at The Basin. After we took our shower and changed our clothes, we went back to Thomson Bay to take our ferry. Lepas sampai Fremantle terus terbongkang kat apartment. huhuhu. Pape pun, Rottnest Island definitely the best place we visited throughout our Perth trip! 

beside the sweet memories, we went back half burnt! blame me, i forgot to bring the SUNBLOCK! :p

Despite of the ups and the downs throughout the trip, we are looking forward to visit Perth again. Perhaps we can explore other places like Mandurah and Rockingham where we can get to see the dolphins! hehehe.. :D Anyway, if you need more information on Rottnest Island or Perth.. feel free to visit HERE (Perth's official tourism website).

Till then.

Reception: 1st May 2011

Hi lovelies,

Nampaknye update last week terus hilang gara2 Blogger buat maintenance. Redha ajelaa ye eventho penat mencari idea nk buat post tue after dh lame tak aktif blogging cam dulu. Anyway, hari nie nk citer sket pasal my last last reception kat Kluang. Finally habis jugaklaa majlis kami. Even dah ade few majlis before that pun still ade rasa berdebar2. Seri tue tak taulaa ade lagi ke tak kan.. name pun pengantin lame.. hehe :p Kaylaa, bukan nak tulis panjang2 pun. 

Baju ngan aksesori i still amik from Zaisham Bridal (u can read my review HERE). Baju nie same gak macam baju 1st reception, i request baju baru. Kali nie we chose baby blue. Since kaler nie je kot sesuai ngn kulit kitaorg selain pink and purple.. hehehe :D As for make up lak hire MUA from Kluang. Charge dia pun murah and make up dia not bad. 

Majlis kali nie ringkas je. Pengantin berarak masuk ngan rombongan my family, then terus gi meja beradab tuk makan berdamai. After that ade majlis potong kek and settle! Pastue leh trs layan2 tetamu. Kali nie memang kitaorg laki bini makan x hengat dunia. Almaklumlaa majlis last. Dulu makan control2 :p

Thanks byk2 to keluarga mertua yang sudi buat majlis sambut menantu yg meriah. Thanks jugak tuk my family yg dtg from Kelantan & KL.. and kawan2 yg dtg dr jauh & dekat. And x lupe jugak.. terima kasih buat yang menyumbang & beri hadiah. 

hadiah yang paling kami tunggu sepanjang 3 majlis. finally dapat jugak! almaklumlaa, biase kalau majlis orang lain sure dpt hadiah nie sampai dua tiga, kitaorg x dpt2 pulak :D

Okaylaa.. tue je citer kali ni. Nanti i sambung ngn last report on Perth trip ye.


p/s: SELAMAT HARI GURU BUAT SEMUA GURU @ BAKAL GURU KAT SELURUH MALAYSIA! :)

Perth-fect Holiday! Part 2: Fremantle @ Freo

Hi lovelies,

I am very sorry for not updating this blog as often as I used to. Since I have some free time today, let’s continue with my Perth Trip report (padahal amik cuti sebab exam, hbs exam trs ngadap blog! hehe.. rindu giler!). Today's post is going to be about Fremantle’s attractions. Well, it doesn’t take me long before I decided to stay at Fremantle (also best known as Freo by the locals). Why is that so? It is easy to commute between Freo to Perth City & Rottnest Island using public transport (no need to hire a car!). Since I don’t have much time to explore further to Northern/Southern Perth, I focused more on exploring Freo.

Anyway, I think by highlighting few attractions would be enough. I'm going to be very straightforward ya. Takde ayat bunge2 nk dikarang.. huhu 

E-shed Market

This is where I splurge on the souvenirs! Lots of stuffs to bring back for the loved ones. You can find t-shirts, caps, fridge magnets, pens, mugs, key chains, bags & lots of other stuff there including local crafts. The price is reasonable enough (I have to keep in mind not to convert the currency to MYR while shopping, or else I might end up going back empty handed! Huhu)

Cappuccino Strip

The only place to enjoy breakfast and night life! Offer varieties of delicacy to try on including local’s famous San Churros. This is the only place where you can see how local people spend their night life (besides staying at home -- what do you expect to do at night when most of the shops close before 6 PM?)

Fish & Chips

Best place for fish & chips! The fishes are very fresh. Not to forget to mention about the big portion! (need 2 ppl to finish up 1 meal). The price is affordable too. Plus point? Nice view facing the sea. Must try fish and chips at Cicerello’s Seafood :)

The Esplanade

A nice park with lots of friendly bird. Very peaceful and relaxing! (even though it is just beside the road) Good place to spend your evening. Most locals spend time picnicking at the park.

Sunny Corner Apartment

Fully furnished 1 bedroom apartment. There are portable air-conditioner, TV, fridge, microwave, washing machine, dryer machine, bath tub, hairdryer etc.. etc (too many to be listed here). The amenities are great and well kept. The location is very centralized. Very near to shopping mall, City Hall and Fremantle Train Station. It is much better than staying at the hotel. Comfortable and hassle free! The price is very reasonable and the owner, Patricia (known as Pat) is very friendly and helpful. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay there.

Extra Tips:

• Fremantle is known for the historical buildings. So don’t forget to walk along the roads and enjoy the scenery. There are also The Roundhouse, old Prison, War Memorial, Shipwreck Galleries, Army Museum as well as Maritime Museum that worth visiting.
• You can get FREE bus service within Fremantle area (known as CAT Bus
• Don’t forget to try SUPA SHAKE or BROWNIES CHILL milk! Super duper yummy! Lagi2 yg perisa Honey comb! Sedap sangat2. Rase cam nak bawak balik 10 dozen je, biar minum sampai sebu.. huhuhu :p

 

Last but not least, jumpe billboard on Sabah! Bangge seyh… hehehe :D

Till then.

The Royal Wedding: Kate's Dress

Hi lovelies!

Sure uols sume dh puas cuci mate tengok wedding Prince William & Kate Middleton kan? I plak lambat giler catch up ngan Royal Wedding nie. Sampai rumah pun dh pukul bape. Letak2 beg je terus bukak laptop then search video ngan gambar. Almaklumler takde mase nak ngadap tv. (maybe ramai dh review.. tapi i nak letak gak! hihi :p) 

Anyway, i love Kate's dress. Tapi skali imbas nampak very similar with Grace Kelly's dress. But still, very simple and yet stunning!  Dari dress, tiara, handbouquet sampailaa ke make up, sume nampak very simple. Takdelaa sophisticated sgt kan? Sgt bijak pilihan Kate.  FYI, i x penah suka Kate ni.. tapi gaya dia on her wedding very pleasant. Memang ada gaya  puteri laa org kate. hehehe. Well, cakap byk2 pun x cukup, baik kite cuci mate :)

Bukan bride's dress je yang cantik, bridemaid's dress pun jadi perhatian! Tak caye? Cube tengok cantik ke tak.....

Very nice isn't it? Nanti uols sekalian B2B blehlaa amik idea from their dress. Buat baju kawen vass2 gituh ek. Hehehe. Kaylaa.. till then. Nak packing, esok mau balik kampung! :)

Perth-fect Holiday! Part 1

Hi lovelies,

It has been ages since I last wrote here. Seems like my life turn to be a little bit hectic nowadays. Siang busy kat office, malam attend classes pulak. Memang dah takde masa sangat nak online. I’m so sorry for that. Anyway, let’s proceed with my Perth trip report! (hehehe.. eventho citer agak basi, tapi layankan ajelaa ye). It’s going to be very short and brief (fingers crossed! hehehe). But fret not; it will be loaded with pictures! In order to make this entry a very simple one, I will point out few attractions that I think worth visiting while in Perth. I will write about Fremantle (where I stayed) and Rottnest Island later okay. Kalau entry nie panjang jugak, harap maaf laa ye.. penat dh simplified sedaya yang mungkin.

Kings Park

Actually I don’t have much time to roam around this Park since I went there on my last day.

There are 3 things I love most about this park:

• ü  The beautiful scenery
• ü  The fresh air
• ü  The soft grass! Enjoyed walking on it :)

Some facts to share:

• ü  It’s a beautiful botanical garden and serves as war memorials too.
• ü  Very huge park, need A LOT of walking
• ü  Nice view overlooking Swan River

For more info, click here.

nice carpet grass

Harbour Town

It’s a shopping outlet. Some brands are well-known here and some are not. But who really cares especially when you can get a nice dress at price as low as AUD7! Giler rambang mata okeh. But again, I don’t have much time for shopping. Bear in mind, most shops there open at 8.30 AM and close at 5.30 PM! As for Harbour Town, it open at 9 AM and close at 5 PM. Macam office hour pulak kan? No kidding! It’s a disadvantage for those who used to shop till late hours like me (most shops in KL open till 10.30 PM kot.. kejutan budaya gi sane). Kelam kabut giler bershopping. 5 PM sharp kedai tutup. Tension betul! (tapi jimat duit gak.. sebab xleh nk splurge sane sini :p). Disebabkan kalut shopping, amik gambar pun tak sempat.

surrounding @ 6 PM -- empty!

HarbourTown Website

Caversham Wildlife Park

just like a baby.....

It was quite challenging to get there. When I asked the way to go to Caversham, most people advised me not to go there since it’s quite far and hardly reachable by public transport. But then, I insisted to give a try. Luckily I manage to get there as I planned. I took Family rider ticket @ AUD8 per day (for my husband and I – unlimited ride: Perth's train and bus service). It’s not as difficult as people said. The ride was easy but it took some times to get there.

Tips using public transport:

• ü  Take train from Perth City to Bassendean (Midland Line – Platform 9)
• ü  Take bus no. 956/955 at the Bassendean station to Ellenbrook and get off at Whiteman Park
• ü  Take shuttle bus at the entrance of the Park to get to Caversham

Things I enjoyed most:

• ü  Feeding the kangaroos (very friendly and kuat makan! Haha)
• ü  Touching the koalas (super duper cute! rasa nak je cilok masuk dalam bag bawak balik sini :p)
• ü  Watching Farm Show (very interesting - especially the sheep shearing)

Admission fee: AUD22 per adult

Operation time: 9 AM – 5.30 PM

For more info, click here (I think they already updated their website. Last time when I visited the page, there’s not much info provided)

Before i end this part...


Some glimpse of Perth City.....

 London Court

The most important TIP is.....

to collect as much information as u can before you prepare your itinerary! :)

Enjoy!

Review: Bridal Boutique

Hi lovelies,

This gonna be the last review on my first reception. Fret not, ade satu lagi reception menunggu 1st May nie kat Kluang. hehehe (trase cam giler kuase pulak :p) Lets go straight to the point! Marilaa kite bercerita ikut tajuk ye. Anyway, bridal boutique nie recommended by my BFF. Since saye bleh dapat segala idaman hati dengan price yang sangat reasonable, jadinya saya tak hesitate nak pilih Zaisham Bridal. 

I got to choose my own dais and my own dresses (for 1st and last reception). Even though saya just decide on the colors and designs, tapi memang puas hati dengan baju2 tue. Sebabnye material used up to the expectation. Sebenarnye saye nak baju yang lagi simple. Tapi bile dah tengok baju lip lap lip lap depan mata... terus x terkata apa :D I was charged less than 1k tuk sepasang baju bride & groom - include the accessories (sekarang tak sure berapa price, kalau berminat blehlaa tanye kat owner butik nie ye). Kalau beli kain then hantar jahit sendiri of course it will cost me a bomb! So, memang agak berbaloi di situ. Cumanya baju tue akan dijahit ikut free size then baru alter balik ikut badan sendiri. Maybe kat situ uols kenalaa pandai adjust biar sesuai ngan badan. Kalau jenis go with the flow cam saye nie.. sume pon layan je. hihi. 

Oh ye, time fitting jangan lupe bawak heels yang uols nak pakai masa majlis. Nanti senang butik nak alter baju. Saye dulu lupe bawak kasut time fitting.. sebab tue masa majlis baju still meleret2 even dah pakai heels tinggi. hehehe. Well, since tempah baju baru so kami laa the first user. Even yang nak pakai next month pun Cik Zai dah simpan siap2 so that kami yang rasmikan baju tue. Berbaloi laa kan bayar lebih sikit? Anway, kat butik tue pun banyak je baju lain. Tapi xtau nape haritue gatal pulak nak baju baru. Kan dah tak pasal2 melayang duit. huhu :p

As for the dais, i  browsed few designs yang i berkenan then try cari butik yang ada pelamin macam tue... kena2 pulak time i dok survey butik my friend cakap Cik Zai nak beli pelamin baru. So saye agak bertuah di situ sebab dapat request pelamin yang saya nak. Haritue saye amik full package pelamin (with arch & 6 walk aways). Price memang sangat murah compared to few bridal boutiques yang i dah survey harge. So if uols berkenan nak pelamin roman pillars macam yang saya pilih tue, maybe uols bleh usha kat butik Cik Zai nie.

Sangat senang berurusan ngan Cik Zai nie. Lagi2 kalau uols busy ngan keje kat ofis, so malam jelaa bleh gi fitting. Sebabnya Cik Zai ni okay je kalau pegi fitting malam2. Kan senang gitu? Tak yah susah2 tunggu weekend. So, itu jelaa yang mampu saye citer. Kalau nak tahu lebih lanjut, sile lawati blog Zaisham Braidal. Blog ni fresh lagi... silelaa jenguk2 ye. hehehe :)

p/s: rasa x puas je berposing kat pelamin haritue....

Till then.
