Well, i am wishing everyone a good New Year. Hope 2013 will bring you more good thing, good life, good health. As usual, typical New Year question . . . What's your Resolution?? Me? i wanna build a new life, live a healthy life style and get the hell out from my hell office :D (meaning to get a new job).

Have a wonderful New year, and stay healthy.
Happy new year 2013.

this is not in my travel plan for early 2013. . .

~ Well, I’ll be going to Bandung, West Java Indonesia (again!) on this coming January. I know, for the fifth time! Actually, I supposed to go to Cameron Highland last week but then, my itchy finger click on the AA website and book a flight to Bandung (ntah kenapa tgn ni gatal mengebook tiket ke bandung) and this was not in my plan. So Bandung here I come.. again.. haha. I don’t know about Bandung, but it gave me some kind of calm feeling when I visit that place. When I feel so down I always go there (which I can still afford during rainy days or lack of vitamin M = Money).  So Bandung kind of my runaway place.

Anyway, last week we had a long holiday. This is the only best thing when you live in a Multiracial country. You’ll get so many holidays. (Still, I would like to move out from here haha). Unfortunately i fall sick during the holidays (crap!) i had fever and tonsil problem :( so i was just spending my holidays on bed. But i am feeling okay now.



tutee, my cat :)



Well, belated Deewali’s wishes for the Hindu’s and ‘Salam Maal Hijrah’ for the muslems. Have a nice holidays!!!

Melbourne, Australia Last day (Part II) Union La - 22/06/2012

Melbourne, Australia Last day (Part II), Union Lane - 22/06/2012 ~ We had dinner at Indonesian restaurant called Es Teller. After that we headed to Union Lane off the Bourke Street Mall. We got lost seraching for it so we went around the city, walking. Some are getting tired. I forgot the street name but i remember some photos that i saw in the internet, so i used that as a hint and while walking i saw the arcade and straightly i remember something.

The Arcade

Gog and Magog clock

 Union Lane is nearby the Arcade. So i told my friend and we went inside the Arcade til the end and Union Lane is just nearby. So, finally we found it :)


a bit scary huh?



At first we thought that the lane is a bit scary at night because it was dark but then we saw some people passing by without any worries. So i guess there's no worries at all..

 

tired haha after getting lost to find this place blarghh

i forgot to tell, that Union lane is a free wall for expressing your thought. There are so many beautiful grafitti's here. I heard there are some painters from other country came here to contribute their skills.

At the end of the lane we reached the Bourke street mall with lots of branded shop lots. There are also nice shoes outlet with reasonable prices.

big purse for big spender :D

 

glamourous street.



That is all my trip to Melbourne Australia. I hope that i'll be going to Melbourne again very soon. I had a great time and great experience. To me Melbourne is nice and i love their small town and country side. I missed Geelong too much. If anyone wanted to go to Melbourne again or anywhere, please do "hola" me hehe. I always searching for travel partner :)

THE END!

Melbourne, Australia Last day (Part I) - 22/05/2012

Melbourne, Australia - Day 8 - Last day (Part I) - 22/05/2012 ~ Actually tomorrow is our last day. Our flight schedule is on 9.30am. So we have to move as early as 6:00am to catch the mini skybus and then the Skybus to the Airport. So consider that today is our last day in Melbourne. We went out to the city again and guess what? some wanted to go to Harbour town again!!!!! (sigh!) I thought about going to Botanical garden and fitzroy garden but i guess my wish didn't came true. Next time i consider not to bring people who's into shopping thingy all the time. i mean, i am not someone who against shopping but when you're at place that far and you can only be once in a blue moon, try to use the opportunity to explore places around because you can't always see new thing everyday. Shop only when you can. We spend half of our day at Harbour Town buying nothing. Time wasted. Sharing some photos taken while walking around the city.

This guy staying at Space too :D

Autumn leaves

The building that we passed by everyday near to space.

Remember when i said that i wanted to go to Botanical Garden and Fitzroy garden? No we didn't get to be there but we only stop by at Flagstaff Garden. Oh well.... next time if i get to be in Melbourne again i'll make sure i'll go to every places that i want :)

Nice.... !!!

this is what happen when you asked people to take your photo, imbalance haha

i could just sleep here whole day :D

Days getting darker so we went searching for dinner and also Union Lane the wall of Grafitti's.

Before that, let me show you the Mini discount card that i took from Space. I think you can get it from any backpackers hostel. I also bought Butter shortbread (because i like the tin boxes) and the famous Australian Golden Boronia Nougat.

mini discount card. there are some that haven't get to use yet :(

Recommended! seriously!

Golden Boronia Nougat. Expensive lorrr....

Next entry i'll show you the Union Lane. Where we got lost and tired trying to find the location of this hidden place.
