Sydney 2014 Part 3

phew…… bersarang labah2 dah blog i ni.. tak sempat nak update huhuhu
ok, nak sambung entry yg tertangguh. berbulan2 nak abiskan entry Sydney ni huhuhu

**************************************************************************

sebenarnya pegi Sydney ni nak amik exam fellowship, so mood nak berjalan tu mmg takde dah. tunggu exam settle baru le mood berjalan ada. first few days kt Sydney mmg berkurung je dalam bilik. last minute study.. keluar bilik pon just pegi beli brg2 nak masak. sempat lagi nk main masak2 walaupun busy nk exam. dah nama tekak melayu kan, of course kalau sehari tak kena nasi menggigil satu badan. alah masak pun simple2 je, sambal sardso in, telur goreng. walaupun simple giler tapi makan macam lauk ayam panggang je.. hahahaaha.. yelah, kat bumi Kanggaroo ni kalau dpt mkn malaysian food mmg dah heaven giler dah.
I start berjalan lps habis viva. nasib baik my turn awal, so byk hari utk berjalan dan bershopping. Habis exam pukul 12.30 tghari, lps lunch kt bilik pi keluar shopping kt Westfield Parramatta. Kalau nk ikutkan jalan kaki pun bole je, tapi sebab panas giler (summer kat australia mmg panas giler) so we all decide nak naik train je which is one station away je. lagipun dah beli My Multi aritu apalagi guna je lah kan. Amazing race btul shopping kt Westfield ni, sbb kedai kt australia ni mmg tutup pukul 5 ptg. Hari khamis je dia bukak sampai pukul 9.00 mlm. So memang tak best lah shopping dlm keadaan rushing. (tapi shopping bag penuh tangan kiri kanan) hihihihi. Me shopping pun baju2 anak2. Sebab brand pumpkin patch kat sini mmg murah giler. kalo kat klcc tu, tshirt biasa je dah RM 70, kt sini t-shirt baru RM 30. Kat Gymboree lagi le macam nak giler shopping.. bayangkan lah tshirt budak baru RM 9.. kalau kt msia tshirt kt pasar malam pun mahal. ni Gymboree okeh… mana tak i meroyan kt situ. hihihi

Sydney 2014 Part 2

After selesai custom clearance,  terus terjah Vodafone sebab nak beli simcard. Yelah i malas nk roaming sbb agak mencekik darah kos roaming tu, so i beli simcard Vodafone AUD 30 dapat credit AUD 400 and 1G data… haaaaa.. 400 dollar tu byk giler, bergayut lah sampai lebam hihihi. Actually mmg dia bagi 1G data, tapi let say 1G tu dah abis, dia akan guna credit yg byk giler tu. kira ok lah kan. so far kalo pegi ostrolia ni mmg i akan pakai vodafone. lps settle urusan membeli simcard ni i cari transport sbb kami agak ramai so share2 duit transport.

I duduk kat Wesley Lodge kat area Westmead, sebab exam kat Westmead Hospital mestilah cari accomodation yg dekat dengan tempat exam. Westmead ni terletak lebih kurang 45 minutes journey via road. agak jauh jugak dari town tapi sebab nak tpt yg dekat dengan tpt exam kena lah dok situ. takkan le exam kt Westmead nak dok kat tengah2 town kat Sydney tu, ko pehal?

We all amik bilik suite 1 bedroom siap dgn kitchen so bole le masak ala kadar nak isi perut. Nak exam takde maknanya nak makan luar, mahal pun ye jugak. kalo masak sendiri jimat sikit. 

Lepas day check in, i mandi manda sebab semalaman dok atas flight kan pastu siap2 nak beli brg dapur. yelah nak masak kena ada brg dapur ye tak? so i pegi ke wollies(woolworths), aussie panggil woolworth ni wollies, kira kalo kt msia ni mcm tesco lh. wollies terdekat kt Westfield Parramata, kalo naik train tu satu station je from Westmead, kalau jalan kaki pon bole dlm setgh jam tapi dgn keadaan panas time summer ni takde maknanya nak jalan kaki.. masa first day kt sydney mmg panas giler, dgn kering aiyooo mmg berpeluh2. 

so i beli tiket My Multi, ni utk train, bus dan ferry yg cover zone 1 and 2 dal am masa seminggu. Harga My Multi ni AUD 52. i rasa lagi jimat sbb nanti lepas exam nanti nk jalan2 kat town so lagi senang ada My Multi ni. Lepas dh beli brg2 kat Woolies ni, dah kelaparan sangat so beli lah Nandos kat tingkat bawah Westfield ni. Nandos kat ostrolia ni halal tau. i beli whole birg AUD 16. Sila jgn convert ke RM, anggaplah mcm RM 16 je hihihi

Sampai bilik, simpan brg terus tido sbb nak cover tido yg tak berapa nk tido dlm flight. dgn jet lag lagi. Time summer ni siang panjang, so pukul 8mlm baru maghrib tapi subuh pukul 4am. Bayangkanlah 4am waktu Sydney adalah 1am waktu Malaysia, kt msia baru nak start tido tapi kat Sydney dh kena bgn subuh. Amik masa sehari dua jugaklah nak adjustkan badan dan minda dengan perubahan masa. 

ok lh sbg nantilh,, GTG… daaaaa 

Sydney 2014

Salam and G'day… wahh mentang2 baru balik dari ostrolia nk ber g'day plak ye… hahaaha…

Ni dah kali ke 5 i ke Sydney, so nak rasa teruja ke mmg taklah.. dah rasa macam balik kampung plak.. kelasss ko jah, kampung kat ostrolia *vomit blood*

Lagipun pegi sana untuk exam so mood nak berjalan2 mmg takde lah. luggage beg penuh dgn buku *pengsan* 

Bertolak dari LCCT pukul 11.30 mlm landing di Sydney pukul 10 pagi waktu Sydney. For info, kalau time summer, waktu Sydney 3 jam awal darii Malaysia tapi kalo winter 2 jam awal. Apa kebenda nama nya tu, day light saving. sampai sprang i still blur pasal daylight saving *abaikan*

So nak clear kastam n immiresen mmg punyalah lama sbb kebetulan 2 flight sekali landing on the same time. beratur puny panjang. Kali ni nam mask ostrolia alhamdulillah takde byk songeh abg2 kastam. Australia ni mmg terkenal ke'songeh'an abg2 kastam. Very strict law, bajet bagus le tu hhaahahaa

Tapi kali ni nak masuk sempat beramah mesra dgn abg kastam sorang ni.. dpt jugak le info brg apa yg boleh bwk masuk, yg x bole bawak masuk. So basically brg2 yg bole dibawa masuk:

1. Sardin

2.Beras

3.Minyak masak( gigih bawak minyak masak dr msia haahaha)

4.instant noodle

5.makanan dlm tin cthnya daging rendang, kari ayam yg dlm tin. DALAM TIN tau uollss.. kalo dalam pek mcm Brahim tu confirm2 selamat dalam tong sampah hihihi

6. nescafe 3 in 1

7. gula (dh mcm groceries luggage beg i, dgn minyak masak, gula, garam ahahaha)

8. sambal ikan bilis

9. serunding daging, tp kena bgtau kat officer tu beef floss. mengikut kata abg kastam tu chicken or beef floss bole bawak masuk sbb dh takde rupa daging berketul2.. ehh betul ke word daging berketul2 tu? sbb officer tu cakap in english so nak translate ke bahasa melayu gitu lh jadinya

Barang2 yg DILARANG bawa masuk:

1. Dairy product e.g. susu, mayonis, tuna bermayonis pon tak bole tau. susu formula bole bwk msk tapi kena bgtau utk baby

2. buah2 an, biji2 an 

3. make sure kasut korang tu bersih ye takde soil, nanti sia2 je kasut kena tinggal kt airport, jalan le kaki ayam hihihi

4. brg kayu kayan.. mcm my fren dekat beg dia ada keychain kayu beli kat sarawak abis abg kastam tu lego dlm tong sampah huhuhu.. sbb dia takut ada fungal atau penyakit kt kayu tu yg bole contaminate persekitaran kat sana.katanyaaaaaa…

nanti kalo ada lg yg i teringat i update lg ye..

shopping pasca exam :)

Sydney 2012 Part 3 - shop till drop

Kat mana tpt shopping kt Sydney ni?

1. Paddy's market

Kalau nk beli aussie souvenir such as fridge magnet, tshirt, key chain, Paddy's market lah tempatnya. Paddy's buka dari jam 9am-5pm everyday except tuesday. Harga kat sini murah sikit dari tempat lain.

How to get there
Very near to Town Hall station or Central station. Me biasanya naik train sampai Central then jalan kaki sikit untuk ke Paddy's. Kalau tak sure, tanya local people. They are willing to help


2. DFO

Sydney Direct Factory Outlet

DFO is a factory outlet and sells cheaper off-seasonal item. Byk outlet dalam ni such as sketchers, oroton,  Ralph Lauren, Strandbags, perfume and many more. DFO ni off town sikit, terletak di homebush so it takes about 45 minutes to reach there. Bole pergi dengan kereta ot train. Me selalu naik train je. Senang...For more info please visit http://www.dfo.com.au/homebush/

How to get there

Take the train to Strathfield and from there take bus no 525 or 526. Ask the bus driver to stop u at DFO. 

Tak mahal ke brg kat Sydney? it's depends pada jenis barang. Biasanya time summer dan winter memang ada sale dan brg2 boleh tahan murah even lps convert ke msia ringgit. Me selalu pergi time winter and summer so memang ada sale. Selalu me borong baju my kids yg memang murah giler. Pumpkin Patch kat KLCC mahal giler, tshirt biasa je dah nk rm 70-80, kat Sydney bole dpt tshirt around AUD 15-20. Murah kan? Me yg memang dasar cheapskate memang borong pumkin patch.

Gymboree pun murah giler kt Sydney. Me beli legging my girl AUD 2 lebih kurang rm 7 lepas convert. Damn cheap... kat pasar malam pon tak dapat legging harga rm 7. Perfume pon murah jugak kat Sydney tapi depends pada jenis perfume. Macam Elizabeth Arden mmg murah lah tapi DKNY harga sama dengan msia. Previous trip to Sydney mmg me borong perfume tapi sejak dah jumpa Mustafa kt Singapore yg harga nya way cheaper than here, me dah tak borong dah perfume kat Sydney.

Sydney 2012 Part 2- Snow fall @ Blue Mountains

Subhanallah... Alhamdulillah.. Tak sangka me boleh rasa sendiri macamana snow jatuh atas kepala. Sukar nak gambarkan perasaan. It was awesome. Time tu dah nak balik memang hujan lebat. We all dalam bas nk pergi ke Katoomba Station. Masing-masing melayan perasaan, Tiba-tiba me perasan kat tingkap bas ada tompok-tompok putih. Me tanya kawan.. 'apa tu?' then my friends cakap 'eh macam snow, takkan lah..' Then makin banyak tompok2 putih kt tingkap bas. Mmg betul, it's snowing. We all punya lah excited sebab kat Msia mana ada snow. The bus driver pon perasan sbb masa nak turun dari bas tu uncle to siap ckp 'enjoy your snow'..
Turun dari bas, we all tak peduli terus main snow yg tgh turun. Mmg sejuk giler tapi sbb excited sgt dh tak peduli dah. Camwhoring during the snowfall adalah kemestian. Saksikan lah mcm mana me and kawan2 me sakan main snow.

We enjoyed our first snowfall

The most memorable trip in my life because i had my first ever snow fall. it was really awesome.

how to get there- from Central get Blue Mountains Line and stop at Katoomba Station. You can choose to do the sightseeing by your own or you can get package from Trolley Shoppe.Me amik day tour package from The Trolley Shoppe. Trolley Shoppe located just across the Katoomba station.

echo point

next stop- echo point. u can see Three Sisters from here. Apa tu Three sisters? Ni version me..

Kisah dongeng masyarakat di sini menceritakan 3 adik beradik yang telah disumpah menjadi bukit kerana mereka bercinta dgn pemuda yang berlainan tribe. Lepas tu bomoh yang sumpah mereka jadi bukit tu tak sempat nak tukar mereka balik ke manusia pulak mati, so kekal lah 3 bukit yg dinamakan 3 sister. Begitulah kisahnya..
