The Day We Left KL - Melbourne Trip Part 1

I secured the tix to Melb some months ago when AA was having their so-called SALE.  I was just trying my luck and hey.... luck was dfinitely with me.  To and fro per pax is less than 1k... that's heck of a good deal right???  Well, little that I know that the 'frills' cost us more than the tix price.  So we ended up paying more than what we bargained for.  Seriously????

Clever Nazura!  An unplanned purchase and unplanned trip... with NOT that reasonable fares....!

But that was like months and months ago.  I didn't realize that it was time to travel till they sent us a notification email and we thought, 'Oh dear!  We have not booked the accomodation yet..!!"  So nights after nights we spent our time surfing and trying to look for the best hotel deals and Nik started to plan the road trip that we planned to make.

A few nights turned to weeks and still we were yet to complete the arrangement.  I don't really fancy travel agents so most of the time when we travel, I will be THE TRAVEL AGENT and he went....  visa is ready?  any other options for the hotels?  closer to city?  better rates? that side of the town?  this side of the town.... Oh boy!  Sometimes the questions drove me up the wall!!  But I managed to pull everything together and I delegated (yes, delegated to him) the task of finding the best rates for motorbike rental. 

Anyway, when the day arrived... off we went to LCCT.  Our flight was scheduled to depart at 10pm and Nik being Nik... he wanted to leave the house at 5.30pm (yes, he didn't like being late!).  By 6.30pm we were already there and LCCT is not as adventerous as KLIA, so limited activities for MOI... hehehhe

Finally I saw a book store..... yes, a book store... Without hesitation and a BIG grin on my face, I jumped in and grabbed a book (to kill the time on the airplane).  At 10ish, we were off to Melbourne and already I was missing the kids.... huhuhu....

OK... enough with Part I.  Will write more later.  Till then, have a great weekend folks!

Us .. killing time @ Starbucks LCCT

There you are bookstore!  I was about to faint... out of boredom here!

Yes... just what I needed...

SNAP!! No!! we were not feeling mushy mushy...
just that it was so cold that I needed to warm my hand!
Stop dreaming Nazura!  No fairy tales here...

Almost there....

 His... (please ignore his 'rambu-ramba' jeans!)

Mine... jogging shoes 'merangkap' travel shoes...

Motif of these shoes pics???  None... I was so bored that I took out
the camera and started snapping.. here and there.  No you wouldn't want to
see the results of my boredom!

Hilang

hadirnya tak pernah diduga tidak juga diundang terus mancarik dan merobek koyak tak pernah sekali pun  dirawat dibiar bernanah sampai bila? sinar terik  yang bisa mencairkan  malam yang hitam pekat  yang bisa menyesatkan harus tidak mampu  menyuluh jalan pulang mungkinkah  ini telah dijanjikan seperti nukilan yang tiada penghujung seperti irama yang tiada noktah haruskah pasrah?

It was Nik's Birthday

It was my husband’s birthday yesterday and we took the day off to ‘merewang’ while feeling young, kononnya. The theme of the celebration? Reminiscing the days when we were courting back in 1993 minus the snow.... ancient sungguh rasanya! We had our breakfast at O’Brien’s early in the morning and took a slow stroll along the shops in OU and enjoyed every minute of it (at 10am in the morning, mind you, and the shops were barely opened). Later we watched ‘Lake House’ and we were charged RM12 only for 2 tickets (the early bird tickets were so damn cheap, I almost fainted!). There were only a few couples inside and we took the opportunity to sit right at the middle (ikut suka hati), since the theater was quite empty. How was the movie? Hmm… ok la, I would say it was the right movie for the occasion… hehe. A bit slow though, biasa la, romantic piece. The ending part was quite ‘touchy’ and yes, Mr Reeves was so stunningly handsome (oh yes, nampak tua sikit la and still got the looks). ...

The Day I Decided To Write Again

I've closed this door some years ago... and I thought I'd be closing it for good.  Even my last visit here was years ago.  Today I decided to open it up again.... and maybe I should start writing again.  So many things happened in the last few years, good and bad, happy and sad... now, I guess, is just the time to share some and to keep them here as memories. Welcome back to my space.
