Central station, the schedules of separation train to South and West, we are waiting for gold coast's train to Coomera.

Surfside busline operate connecting bus services between Coomera station and Dreamworld. it just take around 5 minute to dreamworld.

Whole morning did not eat anything, simply buy a meat roll to fill my stomach, i was just thinking about this terrible meal, it make me vomit and EXPENSIVE!!!! available in any 7 11 store in australia... haha!!!

Finally, we reached Dreamworld, definitely have to take some photo to keep for the memory.

This helicopter will fly over the whole Gold Coast beach, but price quite costly too. I think it's around $50 aussy per person. Finally we walk away...

Complicated map, it was so big...

Which way to go?

According to Guinness Book of World Records, This Giant Drop is the tallest free falling ride in the world. (Just take photo) never go on it....

"The Giant Drop" similar like what you see in Malaysia Genting Highland's Free Falling ride...

Exactly like you are dropping from a 40-storey tower to the ground.. damnnn Scary!!!

This is the 1st thrill ride we went through, "The Claw". It’ll scare you to shreds!

I went on it and i was having panic attacks ! it was so scary... never again (Maybe one more time)


You'll be propelled up to 9 stories high, swinging up to 75km/h while spinning 360 degrees. terrible too !!! I can't forget the ride

Second ride game in my schedule, "The Wipeout"...This ride not as scary compared to "The Claw" and "Giant Drop"...

But when i ride on it, I went upside-down and when I face the water it felt like I was falling and i was screaming like hell! Experience insane hang time as you twist head over heels through 360 degrees..

This Helicopter ride i did not go for it, just walk thru and take some photos...

100 metre vertical free-fall backward Experience 6.5 seconds of weightlessness. 'L'-shaped track stretches 330 metres horizontally or the equivalent of three football fields.

After that, we went to the Botanic Gardens.




Heaven toilets?


Our next destination, Mt Coot-Tha. From here, we can view the whole city of Brisbane.



The main city of Brisbane Queensland.

Last stop for the day was South Bank which is beside the Brisbane River in the city. Since it's a Sunday, there's a morning market selling all kind of stuff. The place is so nice...











A bit hungry now so we had burger and chips.




Around half past five, we decided to go back after whole day of walking around. Tired!! We took a train near South Bank back to Alderley where Kim's cousin pick us up.




Day 2 - Brunei

Brunei is quite a boring country. Besides eat and sleep, i really don't know what else to do. But since I'm already here, better not waste my time and money. Therefore we wake up at 7am, had breakfast and plan to go somewhere before our flight to Australia at 1pm.

Take some photo at the hotel lobby.

Coffee, tea or me? Breakfast at Le Gallery Hotel.
Introducing the new Toyota Vios...

Guess what! This is not Perodua Viva, it's Daihatsu. Basically Malaysia's Viva is totally duplicate from this Daihatsu model. Exactly the same!

That's Masjid Duli Pengiran Muda Mahkota Pengiran Muda Haji Al-Muhtadee Billah. It's named after the son of the Brunei King. Just a walking distance from our hotel.

One of the water taxi station.

Finally, i can take a photo with my dear (Thanks to Ginny).

Day 1 - Stopover @ Brunei

Since I'm taking the Royal Brunei flight to Australia, I need to stay overnight at Brunei cos there's no connecting flight on the same day.

By the time we reach, it's already around 6pm so there's nothing much to do. We just check-in to our hotel and then take a cab to the city to look around.
