A trip Down Under - Part IV

Day 4

This morning we wake up early so that we could finish up visiting Sydney Tower and Sydney Wildlife. So after the 10 minutes walk, short train ride, sampai la ke QVB. QVB - Queen Victoria Building is actually a building yang dah jadi shopping complex. Beneath it is a main train exchange, so mostly orang ramai kat sini. Almost everyday mesti kitaorang pergi sini sebab turun dari train. It's quite a quaint building (ceh kononnya), lift and toilet dia macam ala-ala cerita Harry Potter. Banyak jugak posing kitaorang kat sini. Toilet pun posing jugak. Yang kakak aku peace to the middle east kat bawah ni, sebenarnya jamban ok.



So back to Sydney Tower. We got up there finally. So we sat in and listen to their short documentary about Sydney, the Outback etc. After that, they ushered us into another room for a Virtual ride.. or a 3D show, with the moveable seats. I dreaded the moment I strapped into the seat. It starts to shake horribly and on we go... up and down some roller coasters, onto a pirate ship, into a croc mouth, to the outback.. pendek kata to hell and back. Halfway aku dah pening nak muntah. So I just shut my eyes and pray that the ride would be over. Sakit je badan. After that onto the observation deck. Ala sebijik macam KL Tower, you can view the whole city from up there. Perhaps it should be nice.. tapi sebab aku dah nak muntah la kan. Muka pun macam tapai basi. And check out my top.. macam baju Randy Jackson tak? Hahahahah



After that, we went down and back to the Harbour sebab nak pergi Sydney Wildlife pulak. So now it's all about the birds, snakes, koala, kangaroo, lipan bara and what nots. Tersangat la tak inquisitivenya. Anak mat salleh semua goes like.. "Daddy what's that.. why is it yellow.. it's on a branch Daddy"..and aku goes like... hhmmm tikus..tikus lagi... biawak..biawakkk... biawak pasir..ho hum... ular...yucks.. ular... yucks lagi... kangaroo...oh yang tu tido... koala... ha interesting sket...eh ada lagi biawak.. bosannya.. insects... oh my why even bother.. Dah siap. Tengok la muka-muka gagal kitaorang kat situ.



Then we decided to go to Paddy's Market. Oh kena jalan nampaknya. Sebab supposedly dekat. Demi untuk membeli belah aku tabahkan jua diri. As it happen, while we were there, Darling Harbour was having it's 21st year celebration. It used to be a very old harbour with fish and metal factories. Dank and dirty. Ok la.. I'm not sure what it was like..I just made that up. But they did a great job at reclaming the area.. so now it's so happening that all the mat Rempits all over Sydney would want to be seen here. For the celebration, there were loads of streets performer busking out along the way that day. Aku sangat tertarik with these group of folks on stilts, wearing 70s clothes and boogying to disco . Akak pose pulak dengan depa. Tak tau kenapa aku macam terencat nak pegang tangan sambil posing bergambar. I wanted to do the Saturday Nite Fever pose actually... hmmm.



Then we reached Paddy's Market. Hulamak. It's fun. Nyesal tak datang sini awal-awal. They even have factory outlet, tapi aku kata dah la.. dah cukup kopak dah kita. The market is full of knick knacks... from bulu kambing to t-shirts to pure honey. It's a great place to buy souveniers. One thing good is that they have really decent souveniers at a decent price. Apa lagi.. memang rambang mata. Aku lagi sikit nak beli old school wooden puppets. Kat kedai ni la terjumpa ada akak ni anak beranak. Memang nampak orang Malaysia. Mana tau kot-kot kenal. Bila tanya, akak dari mana kak...akak tu dengan poyo kuasa 3 juta kata, "Akak dari Perth". Ha? Aku ingat nak kata... akak dari Parit Haji Kosai ke... ambooi kak.. baru dua hari duduk Perth dah dapat PR ke. Gila kerek. Aku sebab dah malu... cepat-cepat blah... sambil muttering under my breath... ohhhh saya dari Parit Semato.

Pi rah mabuk kau. Balik rumah makan belacan jugak.
