Perth - Part I

1-5 September 2016

I think I should write about my trip to Perth before I forget everthing about the trip. It was not a personal trip but  an entourage of about 30 people. I don't  normally go on a trip with travel agents, but this is exceptional. 

It was a 5 days 4 nights trip. We took Malaysia Airlines from Penang-KL-Perth. I would say it was quite an enjoyable trip although we didnt go as far as the Valley of Giant (I've always wanted to go to this place), maybe I'll plan another trip just to drive out from the city.

We stayed at Travelodge Hotel located in the Perth CBD. 

Just a walking distance to halal restaurants, shopping malls and shops. There's also free bus ride stop in front of the hotel. Langley Park is just behind the hotel. We went for a jog there in the morning before out tour starts, and the view was simply mesmerizing. 

I have no complaints about the hotel, the room was spacious for two person, loved it. The buffet spread was generous, but of course you have to choose wisely.

Can't seem to find photos of the hotel, I guess I'll just post some photos around the hotel instead.

 Forgot what this is, walking distance from our hotel

How can you say no to this view!

Oh! I just love this place

So I guess it's Petron now

Just found out that you can no longer transfer Petronas Mesra Points to Air Asia Big Points. Looks like I have to change to Petron now. You can get Petron Miles Card at any Petron Fuel Station and register the card via sms or online at Petron Miles website.

Medan after seven long years

24- 27 November 2014

Medan trip ni dah lama, more than two years ago, tapi saja nak bagi meriah sikit dalam blog, so letak je la few pictures from the trip. Actually trip ni, bukan personal trip tapi bawak gang mak-mak, so trip kali ni guna local agent from Medan untuk ground package. Flight ticket beli sendiri thru Air Asia. Flight dari Penang ke Medan lebih kurang 50 minit, dekat je, macam Penang ke KL. Oleh kerana agak ramai lebih kurang 20 orang, kami gunakan bas, agak selesa untuk kemana-mana cumanya masa agak singkat ke setiap tempat dan ada tempat yang kami nak singgah, agent tak mau bawak with excuses, contohnya Pajak Ikan, katanya masa suntuk tapi realitinya, bila pelancong spend di sini, agent tak akan dapat komisen. Even nak beli kek lapis pun dia tak bawak ke kedai yang kita minta. Boring betul, dia just collect order, masa  nak balik dia akan bagi kek tu. My previous trip to Medan, which was more than 8 years ago (wow, lama gila), masa tu ada kerja di sana, we took a beca and ke kedai kek zulaika, beli sendiri. This time around terpaksala ikut je.

So, some pictures from our last trip, selain di Medan, kami juga ke Berastagi dan Lake Toba. Perjalanan ke Lake Toba agak jauh, tapi the ferry ride was enjoyable.

Di Bandara (airport) Kuala Namu

Our bus ride, yang depan tu tour guide

 Kedai yang wajib singgah kalau datang dengan agent. Bas-bas pelancong memang akan singgah sini.

 View from the hotel balcony at Lake Toba. Nama hotel tak ingat la pulak, tapi kena naik bukit sikit.

 Loved the ferry ride

 Shops at Pulau Samosir. Boleh shopping lagi, price not so expensive, boleh la nak minta kurang

 Not sure this is on the way to Lake Toba atau on the way back. Tapi kami stop di restaurant ni makan pisang goreng.

 Di Brastagi

 Istana Maimun, another tourist spot. 

Makan di sini on the way to the airport masa nak balik

Back for a short while

I've been neglecting this blog for so long, I've so many stories and pictures to share. I guess I'm just too lazy with so many things to do. I still have posts or shall i say pictures from my trip to Seoul, Melbourne, Perth, Krabi, Phuket and the most amazing places I've ever been to, Mekah and Madinah and a short trip to Doha.
