Perth Travelogue Day 1

Bila orang tau Cik Panda melacur melancong ke luar negara, mesti kedengaran komen-komen yang berbunyi

"Perghhh orang banyak duit, boleh lah melancong pergi Australia."

"Banyaknya duit kau boleh jalan pergi oversea."

Ketahuilah di zaman kehebatan Air Asia sekarang ni, everyone can fly. It's not a matter how much money you have but what is your priority and how willing you are to spend your money.

Orang yang cakap Cik Panda banyak duit tu terima kasih la ye sebab sesungguhnya kata-kata itu satu doa. Wakakaka

Semua orang ada duit tapi depends dengan priority masing-masing.

Cik Panda bukan kaki shopping, bukan kaki barang-barang branded, bukan jenis suka makan mewah-mewah, bukan kaki gadget ribu riban. Prinsip Cik Panda, biarlah beg RM50 janji ada RM450 di dalam. Bukannya beg RM450 tapi cuma ada RM50 di dalam. 

Soalan yang lebih Cik Panda berminat nak jawab ialah 

"Berapa duit you habis pakai pergi Perth?"

Ketahuilah bahawa tidak banyak pun duit habis. Bila pergi ramai2, dapat save sikit sebab boleh share cost. Lagipun Cik Panda pergi tengok tempat orang, budaya orang bukan sebab nak shopping semata2.

I'll cover the total cost in the following post. 

So the four of us departs from KLIA2 at 12am and arrived in Perth International Airport at around 6am. 

Tips for hassle free entry into Australia: DO NOT bring any food, even from the airplane into their airport because they are VERY VERY strict. Well, dry stuff like instant noodles or 3 in 1 drinks are okay though. Just for your own consumption.

At 6am it is already SO bright. It's summer there so I supposed the days are longer. We took a maxi taxi ($46), about 20 minutes to Mountway Holidays Apartment in Perth Central Business District (RM460 per pax for 5 nights)

It's not a very swanky place but it's affordable plus it has most of the facilities (including wifi) and the location is great. So we don't care if it's a bit old-fashioned looking.  

It was still so early and their office only opens at 8am so we left our luggage and walk around the city, looking for breakfast. 
This is Mount Street where our apartment is located and this photo was taken at 6.50am! Those are beautiful Jacaranda trees. 
Our place is just a walking distance to the city and most main attractions. We walked over to St. George's Terrace and had breakfast in Basilica, an amazing boutique coffee place where most office workers are. 
Their croissant with jam and butter is to die for! flaky yet soft.
At the apartment, Miss Polly is kind enough to let us check in at 9am. We settled in, showered and took a nap before going out again at noon for lunch, sight seeing and grocery shopping. 

We had lunch at a roadside kebab place. Eating in Perth is quite pricey though. It's at least $10 (RM32) per meal. Their portion is quite huge so you can always share. 

We walked over to Hay Street, Murray Street where the shopping malls/street and underground train station are located. Bought groceries like egss, juice, fruits and bread in Woolsworth before heading back. Pack some fruits and chips then walked over to King's park where we had a picnic.
It is a beautiful park over-looking Perth CBD and Swan River. The weather was beautiful, sunny yet a bit chilly. 
It was so nice laying on the grass and looking at the sky. I wish we had blanket with us as it gets colder in the evening

At night, we stayed in and cooked dinner. Our kitchen had 2 doors fridge, a microwave, water heater, a hot plate with complete kitchen utensils.
Travel tips: Find an accommodation with kitchen as you can cook and save on meals. 
We brought along our bibik who cooked us dinner and breakfast. Bwahaha
Had an early night as we had to get up early for Caversham Wildlife park and Swan Valley the next day. Read about it in my next post.

Porn Puaka Di Gym

Tajuk mengundang kontroversi Sis ni bukan apa rajin pergi gym, selain nak bersenam, iols juga suka mencuci mata. Bukan setakat mencuci mata dengan jantan helok (I'm still hoping sebab gym iols pegi tu SENDUU), sis juga suka melihat gegadis yang fefeeling gedik dengan bermacam fesyen di gym tu. Biasanya gegadis newbie ni macam cendawan. Muncul sekejap di kala azam baru masih utuh yakni di awal tahun atau selepas perayaan di mana memasing nak kurus.  Tunggulah 2 bulan kemudian langsung tak nampak batang hidung ataupun buttcheeks. Eh?

How Long Does It Take For Books From The Book Depository To Reach Malaysia? Update as of July 2023: Unfortunately, Book Depository has closed on 26th April 2023 😢 I love books and on average, I read about 1-2 books a month.  I'm not very fussy about the condition of books as long as I have exciting stories to read. And because books can be expensive, here are my go-to-places for cheap & affordable books: Bookxcess  - 1st hand, brand new books Booksnbobs - Quality, preloved books at affordable prices Carousel - for cheap, preloved books that I can't find elsewhere like this Babylon series Booksonthemove - Loved this initiative of book exchange!

Anyway, I just recently discovered The Book Depository , an online book store based in the UK and has a wide selection of books on topics I couldn't find here in Malaysia. I've always bee...

Deko Laman Kecil

Minggu lepas sis ada post gambar makeover laman rumah yang siap dalam masa 3 hari. Rupanya ramai jugak yang ingin mempunyai laman yang cantik dan kemas kan. Ye la, balik kerja stress petang-petang. Jadi kalau ada laman yang kemas, hati pun sejuk dan tenang je.  So uols pun bertanya-tanya macam mana sis buat laman tu? Ahh senang aja. Janji ada kerajinan, kemahuan dan sudah tentunya kena ada modal sikit.  Laman yang sis makeover tu adalah laman rumah mak weols. Sedeh nengoknya terbiar macam tu. Sayang tak buat apa-apa sebab lokasi dan saiz dia penuh dengan potensi untuk menjadi sebuah laman yang cantik. Idea untuk deko laman itu memang ada cuma proses melaksanakannya membuat otak sis jam. Tanah rumah tu mendap dan turun beberapa inci. Jadi ada ruang yang perlu diisi supaya laman itu nanti sama rata dengan konkrit rumah. Mana lagi nak tanam bunga, rumput dan deko? Sebenarnya sis tak tau macam mana nak mula sehinggalah satu hari tu, iols ikut sepupu sis, si JJ beli...
