Weekend Break


Today turned out OK. I missed my subuh, thats not OK, and breakfast hour.

It all began at 1030...because thats the time I woke up, I took my laptop, did some stats analysis, and some reading, then Syed texted me.
..

Mahdi : Salam. Ape plan arini? Aku igt nk kuar ngan hasif. Nk ikot?

Me : Waalaikumusalam. Nak pi mana?

Mahdi : Jln2 kat dunedin la. Cmm aritu. Tp tmpt lain. Lom decide where lg.
Me : Alright, nak mandi sat. Aku baru bangun, semalam terlebih tui. Sat eh, haha.


Sebab last week Mahdi ada ajak aku ikut, tapi time tu aku tengah study 222...beside, I don't want to get out on the weekend, so I declined his offer. Rupa rupa nya dia jalan pi Taiaroa Head, one of the nesting ground of Royal Albatross. Tempat tu memang aku teringin nak visit...shit tul. Oh yeah, for anyone not familiar with that name, Albatross ialah burung besar gila, look like a Seagull but they have wingspan average about 3 meters ...dulu aku ingat Albatross ni sejenis oyster.

So dengan terpikir maybe depa ni nak pusing pusing tempat ada view best, so aku join sekali. Padahal petang ni plan nak revise economy, saja nak cari alasan tuk relax
.

Ok. Settle mandi, siap siap and aku turun pi kat Botanical Garden, because they asked me to meet them there, dekat je dengan accommodation aku. Always wanted to go there, tapi selalu terlupa nak pi...so now ada chance


Some pics at the Botanical Garden,

Gambar lepas ni banyak bunga...


Haha, now its winter, wait till spring...confirm bunga banyak.


Ada green house gak,
Some cactus

Tropical plants


And some birds...
Can get free seeds from the garden office, entrance pun free

Feeding time


I went out with these guys...
View of the garden


After we done with the feeding, we headed to Signal Hill somewhere north.


Signal Hill
Love the view from up here...
Align LeftPanoramic view of the city - blogspot quality kinda SuX for this pic

This picture facing directly to Antarctica, as you can see...no cloud at that direction. Maybe it has something to do with earth magnetic field or something, even clouds here going either east or west, rarely south.

Some other view from up here


Later, we went to Baldwin St.
They claimed this is the steepest street in the world
Sorry, this is the best photo I can get with my phone camera

Hairball makan daun-fluffy gila, macam cover kotak tisu. I found this cat on my way up this street

Finally I made it...
Aku lumba dengan orang tua naik atas ni, haha...ada granny ni kuat gila kut, she jogged up this hill. Geram gak tengok granny ni overtake aku, so aku lari potong dia balik,haha...
P/S: Aku rasa Bukit Tonggek kat UiTM Shah Alam lagi curam


Time kat garden tu ada kedai Asian Grocery, guess how much imported durian here cost...

Yes...$21.30, and its not even big
