Re-Boot

Yeaps,
I've had quite the hiatus from my blog,and have received a couple of complaints that I haven't updated in a while
The reason?
Lazy for one, and once you lose a bit of momentum,it's hard to gain back.
The reason for momentum loss?
3 awesome weeks of HOLIDAY in 1)Cape Town, South Africa, and 2)Buenos Aires, Argentina (and another place in Argentina called Iguazu National Falls)

you want pictures?
hmm,lets share a couple then

This here is the Table Mountain National Park.It's got an awesome view of Cape Town itself, and is very very lovely to walk around.you can access it via a 360 degrees rotating cable car that goes up quite fast(but smooth as well)

Here's another shot,of the other side of Table Mountain.lotsa rocks and sea to look at

The 3 wise owls, and me messing it up.It's daytime,and these barn owls are catchin some shuteye
This here is actually a rehab centre for injured and/or domesticated birds of prey(yeap,owls are birds of prey too)

This is Argentina,Iguazu, Bird Park. That's a toucan,and it's bloody cute!it's quite tame as well,and it allowed me to come near it so I could take this gorgeous picture.

This here is what we flew 2 hours on budget airfllight from Buenos Aires.Iguazu Waterfalls.Well,this is actually just 1 part of the many waterfalls that dominate the landscape of Iguazu National Park.
What's also interesting is that the river that makes the waterfalls is actually the border of Argentina and Brazil.So you can view the waterfalls from both sides!So yes,I got a bonus trip to Brazil as well(but just to see the falls,nothing else)

So there we have it folks.
some of the stuff that I have done while I was away for 3 weeks.
There's lots more pictures,but I doubt they'd fit.
Those of you lucky enough to be on facebook and are my friend will get to see a few more photos uploaded by my sister(tagging me as well) so you can enjoy yourselves there.Trust me,it's good photos.

Day 5,Proud to be Kiwi

For those of you who don't know,I am actually half Kiwi!
and I gotta say,even though I didn't watch the All-Whites battle it out with Slovakia, to be great underdogs and coming back from a goal down to hold a more fancied side

The last time I went to New Zealand was when I was 14,and my family and I celebrated New Year's there,in a port town called Kawhia (pronounced Ka-Fia) where my cousin stays with her family.
Kawhia is awesome,where you can cast a net and pick up some fish, and also go to the buoys and pick up some fresh mussels!(which I don't eat,but my cousins and 2nd cousins do.They ate some raw,by prying it open,adding a lil lemon juice and pop it in your mouth!Ugh....raw food.I'm no fan of raw food.More of that when we go through this blog)

Backtracking a little,when I was on the plane about to land in New Zealand,we zoomed over quite a fair bit of farmland,which were littered with lots of "maggots". These are of course,sheep grazing on the hills. But it was quite a sight. And I hear that there are more cows in New Zealand than people,so if there's ever a Planet of the Cows sort of evolutionary takeover,you betcha ass it's gonna be New Zealand that is the epicenter.

New Zealand is also seen as the place to do extreme sports.Sky Diving,Slingshotting, Para gliding, etc, NZ is the place to get it all. I think there's a place in Queensland(if i'm not mistaken) that has quite alot of these things.Me and my sis had ourselves a great time riding the carts on some real extreme downhill courses.However,we didn't have the guts to go assisted-para gliding.
Yeah,that's why we're half Malaysian.still sensible enough to balance out the whacked out Kiwi in us.

Anyways,enough about NZ travels,here's some World Cup stuff!

Get booked for taking of your shirt? Well worth it if you've just scored the equalizer at the FRICKIN WORLD CUP!Congratulations All-Whites! (Winston Reid ladies and gents) courtesy of Getty Images

The days' other match. 0-0 Portugal V Ivory Coast.
Kinda another bore-draw at the World Cup.But in the Group of Death,you'd expect cautious approaches.

Yaya Toure: I'mma kick the ball so hard like dis!
Ronaldo: Yeah?Well I'mma kick the ball HARDER and make a funny face like DIS! WACHHHAAA!

*signing off coz I ain't catching the Brazil match.
Hope they score a few nice goals.
Sorry Korean republic,but you have a monumental task.
I wish you good luck!

Angthong National Marine Park, Thailand!

The next place I super wanna go that isn't too far away

Angthong National Marine Park, Thailand!
Picture shamelessly stolen from a friend


I quote her:
"Firefly has cheap bargains. My flight+accom to Koh Samui for 5D4N was slightly more than RM1000 per person"


Sounds alright to me


Bonus bonus please come quick
Coz I wanna take a dip
In the seas of Koh Samui
What else rhymes with Samui?

All I want for christmas is a trip for 2 to Bora Bora at St. Regis

alright,you guys have GOT to watch this and then drool and wish you either worked on some airline or are married to someone who does

OR born with a silver spoon in your mouth

of course,there are plenty of other videos,which i'm pretty sure you'll be spending some time just having a gaze at the other bits n pieces of bora bora

and can anyone tell me if I can embed(if that's the word) video straight into this blogspot space of mine?like how facebook does it?

Also,here are some pictures for you to ogle at while you wait for that youtube video to lock and load

How the frickin awesome is this!

A chalet on top of the water where u can just climb down and wade?YES PLEASE!

Clear blue water?check!nice jetty?check,wooden chalets?check!this is awesome!

Oyeah,I know you want to go there.Look at them people wading in the shallow end!it's that awesome!

Memory lane,Banana style! (Australian Edition)

Well,lets track back a bit into the past so that we can see some of my favourite bits of my history.

There will be posts that will cover stuff about history mind you,but this time round,it's memory lane time,Banana Style!

lets track back to back when I was a student in Sydney

I gotta say,Sydney is one of my favouritest places in the whole wide world,but i guess it's coz i spend a good 2 yrs there on holiday.

I mean,spent a good two years there completing my degree at University of Technology via the twinning programme with Taylors

we'll use pictures in this blog,so that folks will know what I'm talking bout.I'm pretty damn sure that I will popularise Sydney here,thus,increasing the tourism traffic into Sydney and helping the Australia reach unbeknown economic heights through the increasing talents and job filling capabilities of foreign migrants. I will soon be given the keys to to city,made an honorary Sydneysider,be given my pick of the property(for free of course) on Bondi Beach(one of the best places in Sydney)

Yeap,you guessed it!It's a feeble attempt at spelling B-O-N-D-I

Apparently the D didn't really feel like being a D (that's a friend nicknamed NUT there.will not ever tag him in case he goes nuts when he reads this,and I then will find myself homeless)

Bondi Beach. Sexy I must say(The beach,and yours truly)

Ok,so I went through my pics and find that that pics above there is pretty much one of the few Bondi Beach pictures that I have saved till this date.Crap.I should grab them off my friends

Anyhow,there's quite a bunch of other things that can be enjoyable at Bondi,like the pork ribs at Hurricane(oops,post yg tak halal.Minta maaf ya.Must learn to put a disclaimer)

you can stroll around the town as well(small beach town,very stroll-able)

Also,the very fact that Bondi Beach is a 20ish minute ride away from the city where we lived,makes it all the more awesome when you consider what we have here in KL,Malaysia.

Nearest decent one...Port Dickson.

a)not easily accessible without a car (have never checked the public transport there,don't want to)

b)not really clean (I know all of your reading this will be nodding your head)

c)food is regular stuff

d)not many bikini babes (I know all you GUYS will be nodding your head)

and Bondi is just the opposite of the above!

So,for more info on Bondi Beach,you could probably google it,or try here:

*I only googled that and copy pasted here just to increase the length of my post.

Well,so far that's a little tidbit that I can share with you lot on Sydney,until next edition!
