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...

Guess what, the brown colour building is mini Imax Cinema

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


Preview for "The Claw"


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..



Preview for "The Wipeout"



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

So called "Tower of Terror" is really a thrill, just in 7 seconds short period, the speed of the ride can go up to 160km/p

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.

Our hand-carry luggage.


The exterior & interior of the plane.

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.

Preparation...

Preparation for Australia Trip (1)

Hehe, see... so excited when my Australia trip is just around the corner. This trip is killing me, it cost me almost RM5K. Total RM10K for two person (Me and my honey). Honestly, i really Pk when i return from Australia. No matter how expensive, this trip might be only once in a lifetime for me, you know life is so short, we don't even know how long we can live in this earth. So... enjoy every second, every minute, enjoy the spring season @ Australia, enjoy every photo i take, enjoy everything!!!


My Air Ticket

My Visa

Travel Guide Book, Map and Magazines


Flamingo @ Zoo Negara

Here is my Monday off day shooting, woah... i was damn free on that day, don't even know what else should i do, however, just turn my mind and go to zoo too have some shooting.

RM15 per person, quite expensive, when you enter the zoo, you have to shoot all the way to keep all the picture, so you will feel that RM15 at least can keep something instead of watch the wild life animals all the way without anything. Make them rugi!!!

Flamingo photo upload first, no time to upload others ler, have to prepare some Australia staff.

Sony Digital Imaging Lifestyle

Sony Digital Imaging Lifestyle @ Mid Valley Center Court

1st, 2nd & 3rd Floors full of crowd

What are they looking for?

Oh my godness... crowded,

How come everyone facing infront the stage?

Lin Yu Zhong (Ryann) is going up the stage to representing Sony.

He is 27 years old and his talents discovered when he was entertaining in a pub when he was in college.

Today mid valley parking sure jam right?

His songs is so smooth and does not have the Malaysian feel.

Don't look at me like that... I know i was cool :)

Buy a Sony Camera immediately, i will personally take photo with the buyer...

I am trying to say is I think his songs are a bit like Lin Jun Jie's...and Lin Jun Jie recognises his talents... Yeaps...definitely will go BIG!


Can you see me? I'm here !!!


Plus, in his speech he thanks Lin Jun Jie and Ah Do.

He is promoting the Sony imaging products...

To buy Sony product now to entitled for photo with Ryann. I'm sure only female will drop to the trap... HEHE

Cool guy...

In the end, Show finished, everyone continue their shopping @ Mid Valley Megamall, All those photos only share to my friends, im not the fans of him. I only know two songs which indicate to the Singapore movie of "Just follow law",person who not interested at all, please skip and scroll down immediately from right hand side scrolling bar.

Happiness begin... :)


Getting wedd...

Short trip to Putrajaya with simply shots post...

To bad i don't have much time to spend for shooting at Putrajaya, below just my few simply shots.


I parked far away from the putrajaya bridge cause too many crowded was lepak there, racing car, mak rompek (motor rider), dating, gathering and enjoy the fresh air at putrajaya.


What do you think? Art sufficient enough?












I almost spend for RM70 just for my dinner, my petrol, and highway toll just for one short trip, i reached there about 11.20pm. I've taken almost 3 hours to snap the whole putrajaya, actually i can't take the photo of putra mosque, government finance building and also the beautiful perdana Putra office. cause it was block from the roundabout of putrajaya town. Too far away for me to shoot cause i don't have the 70-200mm EF IS lens... hehe, actually no budget cause It cost me RM6999

Anyone interesting to contribute? haha...

Well, too bad cause not enough time to enjoy all the photograph there, if there is any opportunities next time, i will not hesitate to bring my clothes and stay overnight after finish my shooting mission.


However, not recommend for July, you know July was a "ghost day" for Chinese tradition, try not to lepak until midnight, as well as all those photographer...(you might shoot down those photo you not wish too...) It happened once in a year, according to my girl friend, This year was a most horrible July "ghost day" since 60 years. I'm not quite sure what is the history on 60 years before, let me check with my girl friend and of cause i will get back to you soon.
