A FUN BREAK.

Yup last Easter (the spelling is this one or Esther?) break was a fun one. Me and my other friends including my daughter Ija went to Sunshine Coast, Queensland. It was a 1 and the 1/2 hours drive from BNE and it was quite dramatic as well. First, it was very hard to rent a car. Second, the rental price gone up so high compared to normal day. Third, our booking got cancelled when we went to pick up the car at the car rental office!!!!!!! It was Abel rent a car....(thank you!). Anyway, thank God one of our friends managed to get hold of this van and all of us were squeezed in the van and another car. When we almost reached Sunshine Coast, the temperature went up. After they checked the water tank, it was totally empty.....oh Gosh! But nothing bad happen. So after we refilled the water tank, the van happily took us to Bli-bli Castle. The entrance fees was AUD 10 and it wasn't that bad, but it wasn't that good either. It was errrrr.........too simple I should say. The collections was a bit 'buruk' no new additonal to the collections. For adult, it could be boring.......anyway the castle design and architecture is nice. If they put more attractions inside the castle, it will be better.

Second stop was this small scale theme park (forgot the name). It was quite expensive to take the rides inside there so I decided to try my hand on mini golf with my daughter. Surprisingly my point wasn't that bad. We have 18 holes and my point was 22 par (is that how you report it?). I came in 4th. place from out of 7 people playing, so it wasn't that bad at all wasn't it? After all that was my first try. So gitulah citernya, I might think of playing golf after this hahahaha. Third stop was at this beautiful beach for our heavy picnic. Poor the 'mat salleh' terkejut tengok the amount of food we have on the table. Really like a big feast with rice and all. After eating some of us went to swim including my daughter. I was just watching her from the beach, she seemed to enjoy herself. It was the first trip for both of us to Sunshine Coast. I'm glad she enjoyed herself. After that, we drove for 1 hour to Red Cliff beach, and had our BBQ there. By that time all of us were already tired with eating and with the journey. We packed our stuff around 9.30 pm and headed home. We reached home at 11.30 pm. To me, the trip was a fun trip with friends and make us become closer to each other. We might have another similar trip to a different location next month or something. The total cost also was not too expensive as we divided equally among ourselves. For me and my daughter we just had to pay AUD 30 for the van rental and the petrol. For attractions, the cost was AUD 33 and the food was around AUD 20. So not badlah kan...............

The following day of Easter break that was on Sunday 23/03 a friend of mine did this 'akekah' ceremony for their new born baby girl. Makan freelah yihooooo, thank you Kamal and Zalifah, senang2 buatlah lagi ye. The food was nice too, nasi minyak, ayam masak merah and kari kambing. The last day of Easter break that is today 24/03 I went to DFO with Naim. So apa lagi shoppinglah. Kesian Ija tak dpt ikut sebab kereta dah penuh, but I bought her a new Swatch watch and shoes. Petang pulak, ada jemputan makan2 dkt rumah Aini & Firdaus so, makan free lagi. The nasi ayam and lontong was very nice. Thanks people. I feel so loved with all these kind invitation. Oklah nak tidurlah dah ngantuk plak. Till then, take care and cheers.
