Time past real fast! that what i felt. yes, our holiday in Brisbane came to the end. tho this post is about my last day in Brisbane, it aint bout something so sad. it instead the another most memorable day we had back there in Brisbane. Walking around there, shopping and having fun freely, everything was awesome. on this day we had Ryu Ho San with us- wanie's korean housemate. our destination was South Bank.
DAY :
ryu purposely chose this place coz of the 'view' at the back. OMG!
Brisbane City at 5++ PM from South Bank
A++ transportation system :)
We reached home at 7pm after done with perfume shopping at Queenstreet Shopping Mall area and rushed back home for bbq.
NIGHT
BBQ mates that i miss so much now. Mira, Munzer,me, Ryu and Meena
Slruuupp!!
happy faces when eating time comes. Ryu loves chicken sausage so much!
Third day was the most boring day after all. it was raining since the morning and the tiredness from two days walking made us wanted to stay at home. Mira was sleeping while i was completing my assignment. around 2pm, we finally decided to go the city just to get some food from Woolworth.
so-called picnic near the post-office, under the rain. :(
Queenstreet Shopping area at 530 pm.
Struggling with assignment. funny! still completing assignment while having vacation. not a good example peeps!
DAY 4 i had no further plan to explore Brisbane more on this day. i just wanted to spend time with Wanie. pity her coz while she was bz with assgnments and works, i came for a visit. not a good timing tho, but yeah, what to do.. i had my holiday earlier than her. :)
so we went to the fresh market to get some HALAL chickens and Sausages. my plan in head was, to have bbq with them tomoro nite. i really love bbq!
then we walked around the city again. cuci2 mata sikit. taking pics of Brisbane nite view and yeah, they forced me to ride on that kangaroo :p
the last pic before my camera dead. ah! i miss wanie. haha

SECOND DAY was the most unforgettable day in Aussie for me and mira. our dreams have come true. while she had been dreaming to meet mr. koala in person, i was always had a dream to pamper the kangaroos and see how they actually carry their babies in those unimaginable pockets. haha.
So, we finally spent the whole day at Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary, Brisbane. it was a place like a mini-zoo with limited types of animal that can be seen. i didnt mind bout other animals really, i just cared much to see the kangaroos, wallabies and koalas. :)
my first encounter with a kangaroo was when i met this handsome young boy as soon as i entered the kangaroo's field. fed him with kangaroo food which worth AUD1 per bag.
kangaroo feed/ food. AUD 1 per bag.
Teasing : aaa?? wanted to be kissed? haha. he asked to be fed. too friendly and i felt like taking it home.
yes they were actually everywhere. everywhere!!
myra was feeding the wallabies. it is a small kangaroo type of animal. they were not as friendly as kangaroo.
pony. myra got him braided hair. cool yaw~~~
i think he got funny face but looking serious sometimes. i just cant forget the way it's moving around. so cute like a baby!
myra's dream fulfilled. she wanted to have koala hug pic which worth AUD16 per session. she got it!!
oh, there were us .. Munzer,Koala, Myra n Me.:))
last pose before leaving. i missed those kangaroos!! :(
and the meal for today ... indian food which cost me AUD8++ .worth it, rice with three types of curry. love it!
Location : Miss India Restaurant, Brisbane.
total budget on second day was : AUD 24 ( ticket) + AUD 4 ( bus fares) + AUD 1 ( kangaroo feed) + AUD5 ( koala hug walllet size picha )+ AUD 3 ( postcards) + AUD 9 ( miss india)
= AUD 46.
im fine with this. im satisfied!

classes in City Campus has officially begun 2days ago but im still in holiday mood. i didnt go to class till today coz Science classes will only start on next week, so does the Skype session with Benjamin. so, relax! but NO. actually i have lotsa workksss to do. I just finished my learning journal today, and I need to submit it tomorrow. ah, i havent given a glance to my 330 assignmnt even. Shoefeng wont b happy if he knows this. that dues on 3rd may. and research questions.. ZERO! -__-"
im so not in good mood n sooo not in good health too. today is the 4th day im feeling x well but at least finally i took rice. half plate with fried egg. enough. last nite was terrible. i even forced myself to sleep early just to forget the pain n feverish feeling. i called mum too after eating and she sounded good. but lately mum became a busy women. haha.
i dont have any idea what to do now. i wanna sleep but i keep on staring the stars and moon that i have up there on the ceiling. they aint shining too much as i wish. shu aint here too, so im alone. suddenly i miss Brisbane. i just been there for 6days but it felt like a home to me. i love Auckland but i adore Brisbane. well, i just love them both coz they make me feel so much free and calm. the view, the attractions.. made me feel serene. and always, makes my imagination go far.. n this raises a romantic mood within myself. its just nice if someday i could have my loved one to be here with me so we can enjoy the beautiful night view of Brisbane together. we both love animal . so i bet to revisit kangaroos and koalas wont be a big prob. we'll surely enjoy it so much! i might wont b able to go back there very soon, but i'l never forget the memories me n mira have had from there. im missing everything now. i miss Wanie and the house, i miss Brisbane city, i miss kangaroos and koalas.. oh i just miss holiday! i wanna flip tru my holiday pics in Brisbane,,and u guys,,, yes, u can join me. :))

just realised that i'v been busy these few days. no blog update, less comments on fb, no new statuses. but been bz for good reasons is sumthing what i wanna do, i hate it when i need to be busy with WORKKKK or to nurse my broken heart ( in negative way). but somehow as long as i carry positive feeling with it, im always ok.
well , bad news. me n jas didnt go to Ambury Farm coz we missed the bus. we were so tired of cooking and eating the day before n ended up woke up late om the next morning. it was raining too. so we just stayed at home, and did some more cooking n eating. haha. im fat now peeps. FAT!

Me, Shu, Jas, Nisya n Zaff.* this post actually shud be written after my udpate on previous activity. but... yeah, i have so little time to update 'em the way i intended to do. well im gonna upload pics.*

post-waterbike pose. the 15 minutes ride brought so much satisfaction. our NZD5 was totally worth it
we love this moment so much! give it a try mates! :)).
i thanks Saifful so much for inviting me to this festival. it was a really nice event to be attended. i enjoyed so much time here with good food and performances from different countries. now i realised, Auckland is an extreme multi-cultural region which has numerous types of ethnic living in it. just name it, and its not impossible to find them here. there were lots of performances, but i dont have all pics to put here. i got few videos but they are too heavy to upload. so lets see what we did there, hehe.
buddies : Saifful, Aten, Nisa', Zati & Fareha ( photographer)
my first twist potato. i like!! :)
My first face painting!! from Pakistan booth. NZD1 onlyyyy!! supa cheapp!!
... and this is how its look like! amazing me! ahaks!..
April is an eventful month for me. really. i'v been bz with lots of things to do and assignments are just a part of it. im talking bout something more memorable than assignment here. I had so much great times along this month, n i wonder why i didnt write any of it here. oh ya! i know the answer. i was soooo busy till i have no time to get it updated here. now, it is a time for covering up. u know peeps , i guess im gonna write either lengthiest post ever tonite or i'l make blogging-marathon. posting few entries in one nite, to recall one month story? gosh! i'l fall asleep while writing it. i find one good solution. instead of talking to much like a makcik, im gonna put pics n yeah, use ur own creativity to create ur own story k? critical thinking is important people! hehe. enjoy~~
here is my list of the events in April ( Easter Break) :
exactly after 10 days i left my blog untouched, i come back here again. my mood for writing and rumbling just reawaken after few eventful days passed. lots and lots of memorable things happened in my life these few past days and i feel so content. tho my money gone and i might be a beggar after this, i dont care.
well,i have no idea how can i start talking bout everything dat i wanna talk coz if i just do, i wont stop. hence i'l be like a grumpy-nagging-grandma. so let me put these in one sentence, ' i'v got some of my dreams fulfilled'.
yes.the most important thing ( to myself) is, i hv bought a new camera. NOPE! not a DSLR. i dont have thousands dollars for that so i just bought a simple one.
jeng3!!!presenting my new baby...
CANON powershoot SX130 IS. checehhh. as if im having a new DSLR pulak. lol!
you can read description bout this product from the website
*sorry im to lazy to copy and paste :p *
and this pic was taken by Saifful while i was sitting in da bus, tried to snap some pics outside and along the journey at Waiheke Island. tho i cant really produce pic as good as dslr does, its ok. the most important thing now is, i can take as much pics as i want before im leaving Auckland 4ever.
my comment?? i love my new camera. tho its not as good as DSLR , im content for having this. happy enough. best laaa. :p
sometimes i feel so blessed.now n here. after 5 months lived in pressure. ALLAH sent me these friends who always make me smile. i hope this will stay. this will make me feel better. and this is the best friendship i'll ever have. n i hope we'll find the true sincerity n loyalty a friend can really give to another friend.ALLAH. thanks for everything. alhamdulillah. :)
that's the only word i wanna say rite now, as im lying on the couch and looking out of the sliding door, i see how beautiful the view outside there. i see people are busy working by the side of the duck pond that we have here, behind of our house. they are the crews of Power Rangers series. just finished the shooting session. funny eih? haha. naa. it's normal.we always have this kind of free entertainment since we stay in this area. i just have no idea what type of monster they Rangers have been fought today coz i didnt see any. myb they had the scenes done in Vector Arena, which located at the right side of our house lot.
then i look at the pond, i see ducks are swimming freely. free and calm. birds are flying here and there,looking for food. sometimes in big group, sometimes just few of them. at this moment, while im typing this,im so much healthy, feeling good and the weather also fine,sunny but with not so cold wind.makes my heart feels so serene. alhamdulillah.'hey!', my heart shouts. 'look, how beautiful this place,how nice the air, how lucky that u are here.dont u??'. i smile. and nod. 'yes.i am', i say.
Allah, at this moment, im so much feeling thankful and grateful, for everything that U grant me. i sometimes cant believe it, U always listen to my prayers. i have felt so much pains, i have cried a lot, i have always been feeling so small when im comparing myself with others..throughout this life.but, u never allows me to always feel dat. i remember, how pains always made me cry and give up,, but finally after some times, i bucked up, put myself together again and still alive. i indeed after all, became a more wise matured person coz i learnt best when i experienced it.
i remember my childhood. we never were rich (and we still are not until now). i was not from a family who can get everything that they wish to have in just one second. sometimes i had lots of unfulfilled wishes that i kept secretly in my heart for years - coz i dare not to ask for that from my parents.i was (n am) a little too ambitious, i know. so i had this dream. i wanted to be a veterinarian or whatever regarding to medical/biology things, i wanted to study abroad,i wanted to have 'mixed kids' coz i dreamt of marrying a man with different race ( how stupid this dream was, now i dont dream bout this anymore. haha), i wanted to buy a big car and house, i wanted to be a rich people in the future, i wanted to change my family's way of live- entirely, if possible. im not saying i want us to be a super rich type of people. i just want us to be better, BETTER in a sense of..money will never b a reason again for y we cant do lotsa things that we really wanna do to have a normal happy life like others do..
but, despite of everything im rumbling about, i have no regret for who i am and how my life is.never.
as im looking back to my own life history, i can see.. ALLAH have answered lots of my prayers and HE sometimes, has decided the BETTER n BEST things for me. while i was actually gave up with my future n study 4 years ago, HE brought me here. HERE means, to my destiny that i have today. i am finally fated to be in TESOL course tho this is what i never wanted to be, i am fated to be fully sponsored by the gov for my study without needing to be worried if im gonna b jobless after i'v completed my degree coz the job is already guaranteed for me.. and the best part is, im finally - ABROAD. my dad's and mum's little Nazura or Kak La is now studying in a Bachelor Degree of TESOL course and will be holding a degree from the best university in NEW ZEALAND. alhamdullilah..ALLAH is so nice to me. im here , now in this beautiful house which i will never b able to own someday in the future,as an international student of UoA, almost completing my 3rd year degree..and feel blessed by HIM.oh ALLAH, thank you so much!
i am only a teacher in the future. and being one, i wont gain much. so, i dont know if i still can have a hope to pursue my other dreams and get 'em fulfilled . my little salary might not allow me to have new big car n house,may not make me become a rich person n i might not be able to change my family's life- entirely. yet, i hope.. i still can make it better. if i had lotsa dream being left and forgotten as it never have been fulfilled, its ok. for whatever im dreaming now,im gonna make it comes true. in fact, im gonna make my parents' and siblings' dreams come true too. i'll try my best.
i dont do much thing.i am nothing to be proud about but when my mum told me that i hv made her n dad feel proud of their child, i feel happy.a very strange feeling aroused inside my heart n i know, somehow or rather, all the pains , at least, have been paid off - tho im not a doctor, a veterinarian as i dreamt, an engineer, or whatever it is. and listening to her story, to her heart, with those old but smiling eyes, made me cry...
yes, i forgot lots of my childhood dreams but now being an adult, i am more realistic. ALLAH knows this course n my future profession r the best for me.so i shud be thankful. he sent me here to let me see world, his other creatures and the uniqueness underlies behind it. he gave me a self pride that somewhat is like a buffer to my flaws from the past. and im no more dreaming bout the 'mixed kids' coz i wanna marry a muslim, that seems like.. not from other culture n custom anymore. who, where, what he is doing now.. is still far from my knowledge. i leave it to ALLAH to decide coz he always knows what is the best for me...somebody told me " take a good care of our relationship with ALLAH, he'll taking care the rest for us." :))
i have no idea now what can i write in my blog. lotsa things happened lately n lotsa things to be talked bout too. but, i just dont know how to put 'em together here. well, i am now is busy. busy with lotsa works need to be completed before Easter break coz im leavin for Oz next week. cant believe it gonna b so soon.
i am desperately need a camera now. definitely not a DSLR coz i have little money left, cant afford to buy somethin expensive. a cheap but reliable one wud b enough. i need that coz im sick of depending on others'. and, going to Oz.. i definitely wanna record some observable memories from the vacation with my own camera. i asked mak if i can grab one. she said ' go for it'. n she said she'l help me to cover up my money soon if im running out of it. im not feeling good. asking money from mum at this age is so NO-NO thing to do. arghhhh. :(
i cant make up a decision yet. if im going to play around the theme parks or x. well. this is the craziest vacation ever,i'l be alone. literally n metaphorically. i'm drafting my budget n activities now. i hope everything wud b fine n i'l have the best time there.
