We finally arrived!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
It was super early approximately 5.30am and we rushed straight
to the toilet to freshen up a little. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
But, as you can see in the previous post, I don’t really
look freshened up huh?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Hahahaha. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
So, what happened next?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
A friend of my aunt were to pick us up from the airport and
head to our first stay on this whole Europe trip. Read: HIS HOUSE. Obviously...
:D<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
And there he was, in the early hours waiting for us ladies
to arrive.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Hello Uncle Heerco.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
One thing worth mentioning, I don’t fancy standing next to
him. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Well, no specific reason just that I look like a dwarf when
I do. Though I prefer hobbit.<br />
So he gotta be the <s>wise</s> or not so wise
Gandalf.<br />
Hahahaha wonder how he will react to that.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
From the airport, we head straight to his home and freshen up for real before
taking a stroll through row and row of streets and getting ourselves something
to eat. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
We even sat by a dock or something of that nature
and remembered clearly that all four of us were adoring a pair of ducks that
was there with us. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Yup we spent quite some time admiring the duck; 30 minutes
or so. <o:p></o:p></div>

Us by the dock</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
After that duck moment, we made our way back and got ready
for the real sightseeing. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
We headed to Kuekenhof. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
It is time to see for real what I have seen over and over
online for months. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Upon arriving in Keukenhof, we had a glimpse of tulips all the
way. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
As usual, being easily fascinated, excitement was pretty
much difficult to contain. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
The colours was so beautiful that even in motion it looks
breathtakingly beautiful.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Once we arrived, it wasn’t that crowded.<br />
Hence, it was easy
to snap pictures with only you in frame. :p<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
It was too beautiful at times, that you just wanna soak it
all in and never breathe it out.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Countless photos were taken at almost every angle and every
different bloom existed. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
I also manage to capture some polaroid photos to capture
moments I had while I was there.<o:p></o:p></div>

Along the walk through the garden, we took the chance of
having the Hering Sandwich and Ice cream. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Truth be told, I prefer the ice-cream more than the
sandwich. </div>

Marching to the museum</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Not long after that, we decided to enter Rijks Museum.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
The museum was huge. Each level is designated with a certain
era and exhibition.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
At times, I was a little overwhelmed with the vast
collection and exhibition. It made you just want to wander into each room and
examine in detail all it has to offer.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
That itself took a handsome couple of hours. <o:p></o:p></div>

The Itinerary.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
All my life, I have been a planner. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Not the official kind; wedding planner or event planner, I
just love to plan stuffs.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So when the task of coming up with the itinerary was officially
handed to me, I accepted it with open arms. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Little did I know that I was heading to Doomville.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The last time I planned an itinerary was to Adelaide. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The only difference was, Adelaide trip was only
a-destination-trip, where-as this Europe trip involves 4 countries; of which I
have never been to and I did not seek help from anyone. (READ: Yay double the
doomness.)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
ONE thing that I am sure of at that point of time, is we
will be arriving and departing from Amsterdam.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Other than that, all seems pretty vague.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
For about a month, the internet was my best friend. At every
free time, I will be surfing and getting to know places, estimating travelling
time, taking notes of the ticket price and etc.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
One notes after another, there were times I end up sleeping
in front of my laptop or phone.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Though it took a lot of my time, I enjoy knowing new places
and viewing what every country offers. It was so much fun that I started to
have other plans of my own. (READ: I’ll come back and visit places that I
missed this time around. Anyone up for an adventure?)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Not long after, I manage to craft the itinerary that
includes interesting places that everyone desire to visit. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We were also lucky that my aunt is still in touch with her
friends from her previous work encounters. Two of her friends; one in Amsterdam
and another in Belgium, agreed to assist us getting to places. One will picked
us up from Schipol to his house while another will fetched us from Amsterdam to
Belgium and Paris. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Not to forget, another childhood friend of my aunt who is
residing in Coventry agreed to bring us shopping at Bicester Village and drive
us all the way to Manchester which is our final destination en route Amsterdam. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Woooohooooo! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I picked up my calculator an summed up all the cost
involved; airfare, train tickets, accommodation, admission fee, yada, yada,
yada. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In a nutshell, total damage minus the shopping part is
approximately RM5,000 per person. <o:p></o:p></div>

A dream come true. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
That’s how I would describe my recent Europe trip about a month ago. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
How did it all started? <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Once upon a time… <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Seriously? <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Nahhhhh…straight to the point shall we?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Back when I was 21, I wrote on a piece of paper the 5 things I would
like to do before I turned 25.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
It goes a little like this; <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]-->1.<span style="font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal;">
</span><!--[endif]-->Write an article and get it published (small
scale)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]-->2.<span style="font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal;">
</span><!--[endif]-->Write a song that is recognized by at least 100
people<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]-->3.<span style="font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal;">
</span><!--[endif]-->Get a job<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]-->4.<span style="font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal;">
</span><!--[endif]-->Get a car<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]-->5.<span style="font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal;">
</span><!--[endif]-->Travel to at least 5 countries<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Through and through, I never thought that I could complete the list.
First, the list was made out randomly and second, I was already beyond happy
that I manage to complete 4 out of the 5 listed. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
So much so that I started to disregard the list and about to declare
“Mission Accomplished”. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Just when I thought that dreams don’t come true, life surprises me. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
At the end of 2014, my aunt and mother decided to buy a return ticket
to Amsterdam. They made it known to me with the quest to make me jealous. Oh
yeah of course they succeeded. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Duuhhh…<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
It then triggers me that I still have a solid year in my timeline to
complete the list. Should I try to complete my so-called list?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
That’s the moment that I peek into my account just to see if I can
afford a ticket of my own. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Turn on laptop…Go online…XXX bank account…Amount XXX…Smile…<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
“Mom, I’ll tag along for the Europe trip ya? Please… I can afford it
(smirk),” I blurt out to Mom.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
After a little pep talk and some nagging, I finally tag along IF…and
only IF, I can come up with a complete itinerary for our 12 days journey. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
A tit for a tat. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
That was how it started…<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

Work seems to be greedy nowadays.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Spending most of my time mingling with updates, value captures and submissions.<br />
I'm done for a while.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Finally, my great escape.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After a few posts I think there's more yet to be told.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Or is it just me who can't stop blabbing about Adelaide?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think it's me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Nah...who cares anyway.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Let's see if I can backtrack the whole itinerary during the short visit.<br />
It's been a while.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
The first attraction that got both of us excited would have to be <b>Gorge Wildlife Park</b>.<br />
Remember the part that we wanted to cuddle the koala so bad?<br />
This is where it all happened.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
The admission was $15.<br />
Not only do you get the chance to cuddle the koala, you can also spend time feeding the kangaroo.<br />
Literally you can feed the kanga like you feeding a baby; right to their mouth.<br />
It was there that I know they are a big fan of Arnott's biscuits.<br />
And all that without any extra charges; $15 and you can do all mentioned above.<br />
Other than that there are also Meerkat, Penguin, Camels and others.<br />

Getting there from the city was a long and winding road.<br />
First time driving in a foreign land, I was pretty sure that we were lost most of the time.<br />
The road kept going on and on and we saw nothing.<br />
Finally after about an hour or so, we saw the signage and got all excited.<br />
Bear in mind that the Koala Cuddling session is at 11.30am, 1.30pm and 3.30pm.<br />
So better plan your time well so that you don't missed out on that.<br />

<br />
Our next pit stop was <b>Hahndorf</b>.<br />
We reached at around 2pm and went straight to the room.<br />
Truth was, we were so tired that we didn't manage to explore a whole lot there.<br />
One thing about Hahndorf that I love is it feels homey.<br />
It is also accessible via public transport.<br />
We took some time to dine at The Haus.<br />
We enjoy that a lot.<br />
What's not to enjoy when there's food right?<br />
Hahaha.<br />

Right after that we head off to <b>Port Elliot</b>.<br />
The view there was to die for.<br />
I truly deeply madly fall in love with the whole area.<br />

<br />
We then took a short drive to <b>Victor Harbour</b>.<br />
There, we ride on the Horse Tram to Granite Island.<br />
The horse was such a cutie and they all have great names.<br />
We opted for a one way ride and it cost $7.<br />
Then we hike around Granite Island and enjoyed the view it has to offer.<br />
We also managed to catch the Penguin Feeding Session.<br />
The penguins are so cute and cheeky that we almost adopted one of them.<br />

Knock knock!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Who's back?!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Me me me!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hello everyone...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Please bear with my sudden addiction to keep writing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm not sure what kind of disease this is.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But it keeps me agitated that I just got to be back ASAP.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I guess once I run out of topic I should be back to normal.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So do keep praying for the time to come soon.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Like REAL soon.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One may just wonder what else will I be talking about this time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Wonder no more people...here goes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In this third installment, I think I'll just blab about something easy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
During the 5 days, we spent our night at four different places.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Both of us are grateful for the existence of booking.com.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It made life so much easier.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh wait, it didn't. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It made just the booking of the rooms much easier.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Other than that life's pretty much the same.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After spending lots and lots and lots of time comparing and reviewing we finally decided and booked about a month before the trip.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Both of us were so busy that we had to ensure it is done way earlier or we will end up wandering around like zombies with a luggage in tow.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hahahah enough of crapping back to the topic.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
However I need to make it clear that the experience we had might differ from others.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So here is my part of the story and I'm not fabricating.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our first stay was at Hostel 109 located along Carrington Street.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I like this place for many reasons.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The staff at the reception was super nice and friendly.</div>

The room was not that spacious but sufficient.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thank God that we are two little girls.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So not a major problem, we fit in perfectly.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There was also computer area to surf the internet.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I find that area as sacred as I spent quite some time googling the route to the next destination.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Located near to the City Centre was another plus point.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We walked all the way back from Rundle Mall the first night out.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There was also ample of parking spaces but you will have to pay on weekdays and Saturdays.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Free parking on Sundays.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can easily find a convenient store, petrol station, and cafes around the area.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you don't mind the walk, like the both of us, you will love the place.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At Hahndorf, we opted to stay at The Manna Hahndorf.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have to say that it is the most posh room out of all four that we booked.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was so perfect that both of us chose to stay in most of the time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The deco of the room was simple yet there's a touch of elegance.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In its simplicity, it is also very rich.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'll let the picture do the talking.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The room look exactly the same as in the picture.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We got the chance to watch some shows on TV and we enjoy that.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There was also a toaster and water heater that I utilised to prepare breakfast.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Other than that there was a mini fridge, iron and iron board as well as hairdryer.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Parking space was plenty and free. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Upon leaving, we wished to stay there a little longer.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But time was against us and we find ourselves in Port Elliot about an hour later.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This time around, we booked a room at Port Elliot Beach House.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It really lives up to the name as there was really a beach right in front of the beach house.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
The view was to die for.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just can't get enough of the view.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It doesn't matter from which angle you are looking at, everything was breathtaking.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Aren't the room cute?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First thing both of us had in mind when we enter was "Awwww..."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The bed was so comfortable and we really enjoy the night we spent here.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The kitchen area was superb.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Same goes to the game and hang out area.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There was also a laundry room should you want to do your laundry.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After quite a long journey, it was worth every second.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In terms of cafes and places to dine there's only a few.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In case you plan to stay for long, don't forget to plan the meal as well.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The beach house do provide food coupons at the nearest cafe, but usually it will be fully booked.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was during our stay so we opted for another nearby restaurant.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you plan to cook, they have a convenient store down the street where you can easily buy stuffs.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Our last stay was actually laid out at the very last minute.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We didn't really plan to stay for the night.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The initial plan was to hang out until late night and make our way straight to the airport.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As we looked back, the idea seems absurd and we booked the last available room at Glenelg Beach Hostel.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just like the previous stay, it is situated close to the beach.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Only thing, we went to the beach on our first day upon arrival.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So the beach no longer excite us.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hahahaha.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Nothing much to talk about the place.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was just for us to sleep before heading to the airport first thing in the morning.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is kinda like a mansion when you're inside.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The room was okay.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We didn't expect much either.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But I love the toilet though it is a bit eerie if you are alone.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Main reason for choosing the place would have to be because of the availability of public transport in the area.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just name it, everything is there; buses, cabs and tram.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In a nutshell, we enjoyed all of the rooms that we stayed in.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Though one may be better than another, there will always be pros and cons.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That is also a reminder that life is all about give and take.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You win some you lose some.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The one thing I love that applies at all the places we stayed in is the check out policy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Before you leave, you are required to make up the bed and take off all the white sheets and place it at the mentioned area; it could be a bin, a room or a specific place.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It inculcate you with a sense of responsibility.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And that is something that I am more than happy to comply.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I guess that would be it for this post.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have yet to talk on food and attractions in Adelaide.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Perhaps my next post would be on that.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Till then...</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">I'm back sooner than I thought. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Hahaha I have to blame that on the chocolates. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">'Sugar rush' mode activated. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">So what's more to tell about my vacation in Adelaide?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We officially arrived and walk through the city on our first night. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Maybe not every inch of the city, but we covered pretty much of what we needed to. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">In this second part, I would like to talk about the people we met throughout the whole stay in Ade.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Right after going through immigration, we were greeted by a lady who was conducting a survey in relation to the process at the counter. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We chatted a little and told her of our first time being there and all.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">She asked us of our plan and how are we heading there?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Both of us answered simultaneously, "We'll be driving." </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The look on her face that very moment was priceless.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">She finds it hard to believe and I pretty much believe it was due to our petite size.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">She even said out loud; "Such brave little girls. Good for you" before we parted our own ways. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">In a nutshell, after that first encounter we were no longer worried if we lost our way. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Most of the time, they even provide additional infos such as the easiest route and places to dine.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Another incident that I find worth mentioning was when we first hop off the tram in the city. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">With our luggage in one hand and a map on the other we try to figure out the way to our hostel from Victoria Square Tram Station.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Suddenly a lady stood next to us and the next thing was "Hello girls. Do you need any help?".</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Even before we asked for help, help arrives.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I remember that I was beaming for a few seconds before I answered her question.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">She showed us the way and even guide us with the streets around the area.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Up until now, I still remember the many streets that we walked through.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The next day, we visited George Wildlife Park and were among the earliest visitors.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Therefore we interacted more with the animals than humans of course. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The one thing that was on top of our list is Koala Cuddling.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">You definitely can imagine how excited these two little girls are right?</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">While waiting, a couple sat next to us and started chatting.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Laura and Derek.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">They are Australian and used to travel years back.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We got along very well that they even waited until the end of our session with the Koala. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Laura also introduced us to George who came all the way from London. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Before we continue our journey, we managed to snap a few photos with them.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Tracking back a little, there's another individual that I wished to highlight.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Before we officially arrived in Adelaide, I was constantly in touch with. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I hope he gets to read this somehow some way.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">His name is Phil.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Without Phil, I don't think that we would have enjoyed Adelaide the way we did.<br />
My first point of contact with Phil occurred when Ana suggested that we should rent a sports car to travel from one places to another.<br />
She wanted to do something different and I tagged along to the idea.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
We came across the site http://www.adelaidehillstouring.com/<br />
Straight away, I sent an email enquiring more about the car and services provided.<br />
The communication was consistent leading up to our vacation.<br />
Phil was always there to answer my questions no matter how irrelevant the questions are.<br />
He even offered to help plan our itinerary for the 3 days.<br />
I was eager to meet him to personally thanked him for all the assistance.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, during the delivery of the car, Phil was not able to make it.<br />
On the other hand we met Felicity, Phil's wife.<br />
Just like Phil, she was very helpful and she showed us everything we need to know about the car.<br />
First time driving a convertible hell yeah I was nervous.<br />
Lucky us, the car was very easy to manage.<br />
Felicity was also kind to always keep in touch through email even after that.<br />
<br />

<br /></div>
Finally, when we returned the car, I met Phil.<br />
I may not have shown my eagerness as written above.<br />
But I was happy to finally meet him after all the emails.<br />
In addition to that, he brought along his youngest son whom requested us to record a short clip for his school project.<br />
Ana and I happily assisted him.<br />
The only thing that I forgot to do was snap a picture with them.<br />
How silly was I to forget that?<br />
Phil, in case you read this, from the bottom of my heart, I thanked you for everything.<br />
May we meet again someday when I return to Adelaide,<br />
<br />

There are others than those that I've mentioned above.<br />
John from Victor Harbour Information Centre too was a joy to talk to.<br />
The lady during dinner on our first night who got all excited when I hold out my monopod that she went straight to ebay looking for one.<br />
Another lady we got to know while riding the Horse Tram who spoke to us a little bit of Malay from her stay in Bali years before.<br />

<br />
<br />
Trust me that the list could go on and on.<br />
As much as I wanted to list everyone, I just can't.<br />
So here goes, to everyone that we met during our 5 days stay;<br />
We truly enjoy the warmth and hospitality.<br />
You made us feel at ease and at home in a way.<br />
Thank you for all the help and the chat.<br />
It is all of you that made us feel the need to visit Adelaide again sometime in the future.<br />
Once again, thank you for everything.<br />
<br />
There will be Part 3, but I have to figure out on what to write next.<br />
Till then...bye for now.<br />

Hello long procrastinated post update!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's been a while since I started this supposed to be new blog of mine.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used to have this idea that I am able to consistently write on something and keep it updated.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But you just don't get what you want in life you know.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So here is another one of my not so proper plan goes beyond control.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For now, I'm back! (we'll see for how long..)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Okay, back to the topic.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After being away for a while, I'm back in homeland Malaysia.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was away for 5 days on a short vacation to Adelaide.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I got a lot of people asking me why Adelaide?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My response, Why not Adelaide?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To start it off, Adelaide plan was random; one of my many random plans.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A friend of mine from college (Ana) texted me telling about her days off and wanting to head somewhere.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Being me, I replied find a destination and we're ready to go.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That was when Adelaide got in the picture.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We booked our tickets, we did our research, we booked our many lodgings and we rented a car.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Trust me that in writing it looked super organised, in reality it wasn't.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Adelaide made me super excited for many reasons.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My first overseas trip without the whole entourage (read : family).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is also my first fully self-financed trip.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't do vacation a lot, so that explains the above point.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It will also be the first time I'm driving outside of my comfort zone area (read : Seremban).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yeah that pretty much covers my whole pre-departure part.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On the other hand, my parents kinda super freak out.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They kept asking me about my visa, my passport, my stuffs, my plans, and the list goes on and on.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mama even have my luggage screened and weighed before I head to KLIA2.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Baba kept reminding me about keeping my passport and ID safe.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not to forget, the usual reminder not to hang out until late night.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Got it parents!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now off we go to the airport.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our flight was at midnight, so nothing much to tell other than I slept most of the time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
8 hours later...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Ladies and Gentlemen we have just landed at Adelaide Airport."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Phew...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Alhamdulillah we made it; that was the first thing that came to mind.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next we made our way to the toilet and freshen ourselves up.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After going through the immigration counter, the journey begins.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The two of us are literally petite.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Therefore most of the time we looked like two little lost girl.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We asked around a lot before hopping on a bus from the aiport to our first stop; Glenelg.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Along with our luggage we proudly stood infront of the Wakefield monument.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hahahaha.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
While figuring out our way, we had breakfast.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Unbelievable.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our first time to Australia and we're in Adelaide.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Wow!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Everything amazed us.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The transportation was one of the highlight.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was so efficient and easy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It didn't took long for us to find our way to the city.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next would have to be the Wifi.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We didn't expect to have free Wifi at first.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, we updated people back home that we have safely landed.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After that, both of us went wild uploading photos on Instagram.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Through uploading photos, that led to another unexpected plan.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A friend of Ana from Matriculation year who is pursuing a master in Adelaide happens to see the picture and they plan a meet up.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was more than happy to tag along.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To the city we go!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our first stay was at Hostel 109 along Carrington Street.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I booked it through Booking.com.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was cozy and sufficient for both of us.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We enjoyed the place as it is not that far from the city centre.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tram station was just 5 minutes away. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But most of the time we just walked around. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Later that evening we meet up with Ana's friend, Shafiq and Clint (Shafiq's friend); they showed us around.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We went to Coles to stock us with some easy food.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We also stopped by University of Adelaide. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Few days before we left for Adelaide, we included that as one of our places to go. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Glad that our plan realized. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The time spent at the park was one of the most memorable moment to me. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

Meeting these two for the first time and somehow all of us just clicked. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They even treat us to dinner that first night in Adelaide. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We still feel guilty that they did. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So we made a pact.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When they're back in KL we will meet up and treat them back. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-MY">With a heavy heart, she made her way to the closet and
pick up her attire for the day. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-MY">Next, to the iron board and she starts ironing her
clothes and both her parent’s as well.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-MY">In the bathroom, she took some time before allowing
the shower to consume her body.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-MY">She thought of how early she needs to get up every day.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-MY">She thought of the hours she spent on the road; in the
car, KTM, LRT and on foot. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-MY">She thought of every detour she came up with when the
daily schedule went ballistic.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-MY">And then the water flows.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-MY">She woke her parents up and starts working on her look
for today.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-MY">Applied minimal make up and style the shawl as she
usually do it. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-MY">Exactly 6.30 am, the car left the house porch heading
to the metropolitan area.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-MY">There in the car, again, she thought of her weekday’s
routine. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-MY">“Will I ever leave the comfort of my home?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-MY">“Will I ever have the privilege to hang out with
friends for an after work coffee session?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-MY">The monologue goes on and on. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-MY">After about an hour, she’s now at the LRT station.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-MY">She waits for the coach to depart.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-MY">Final destination: The Tower.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-MY">Spending most of the hours there, only a handful of
hours she spares it for sleep.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-MY">Sleep, yes, something that is very much needed but
rarely fulfilled. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-MY">On normal days, she is just a girl; fun, chaotic,
cheerful and loud.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-MY">On a busy day, she cracks jokes whenever possible. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-MY">On a bad day, she will just stay tranquil and silent.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-MY">Still, she will smile when a familiar face caught her
eyes. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-MY">At every step of the journey, she stumbles and
fumbles.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-MY">She laugh as she fall, she laugh as she fails.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-MY">She sees everything differently from others.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-MY">She analyses ensuring herself to never be paralysed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-MY">She is just a girl in the eyes of others.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-MY">Just a bubbly and an easy-going creature.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-MY">Through thick and thin she stood tall.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-MY">Head held up and never bow down.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
