A trip Down Under - Part VI

Day 6 - final day

Our flight was in the afternoon so we didn't really do much today accept just walked around Potts Point. We had booked a van to pick us up to the airport. It goes around the city and picked people up from various hotels. We get to see Sydney one last minute. I even saw the staircase leading to the botanical garden. Memang jauh macam dari KLCC pergi Puduraya. Forget it. Another reason why we didn't really venture out was that we wanted to melantak one last time especially our leftovers.

So how was the food in Sydney? To me lousy. I dreamt of seafood galore.. tapi 1) tak mampu and 2) mostly ada alcohol. So it's all fish and chips and friend seafood. There's a lot of asian food restaurants even in Potts Point. Penang cafe ke apa tah.. tapi ada serve Bak Kut Teh. So malas la nak check out further. And there's even a Laksa house ke apa tah... very big kat QVB. Hebat. Tapi again serve pork, so macam mana nak makan. One time we tried Greek food, sebab kedai dia ada ayat Al-Quran, yakin boleh aje la halal. Makan falafel ke apa tah.. tapi rupa macam murtabak. Best jugak sebab lapar.

Anyway, we survived by eating Indian food hari-hari. Dia tulis situ halal... aku assume halal aje la. Hulamak... wa cakap lu. Dia punya curry memang power zass. Hari-hari la kitaorang blasah Vindaloo la... Pakora la.... Lamb apa benda tah. Ada satu tu kari letak kacang pea aje (balik siap try kat Malaysia lagi). Sedap siut (I mean yang kat kedai India tu.. bukan yang aku masak). Makan dengan nasi.. Pastu kitaorang suka nak beli chicken wing dia. Then balik hotel, goreng telur plak. We also bought bread, tuna, butter, juice and patato parsley yang tinggal kena panas kan aje from Woolsworth. Nasib ayam tak halal... kalau tak roasted chicken la.. BBQ chicken semua aku blasah. Hari-hari la muka kitaorang kat kedai tu. India tu pun dah kenal kitaorang. Pastu breakfast, buat la scramble egg, makan yogurt yang murah and portion macam satu gayung. Tak habis pun semua tu... kitaorg tinggal aje kat dlm fridge kat hotel.

Naik flight plak makan memang mewah. Tak rugi naik MAS. Tak main la nasi lemak Pak Nasserr. Pergi makan chicken tah apa benda, siap ada bread pudding tu. Balik... macam tau-tau aje aku berdoa nak makan lamb... MAS serve lamb. Alhamdulillah. Akak siap mintak lagi. Steward tu bagi lagi satu tray. Ambik kau... memang flight tak penuh pun. Dah tu for breakfast siap ada cheese la.. chocolate la.. and yang aku paling suka siap ada bagi power bar. makan... makan lagi.

And while in Sydney, we have developed a love for hot chocolate. Especially hot chocolate kat Krispy Kreme (Tak sama pulak yang kat Malaysia ni) Krispy Kreme tu siap ada tanda halal lagi. Ha.. hari-hari lalu kat Krispy Kreme.. asyik la blasah donut and hot chocolate. Sia-sia aje jalan jauh hari-hari.

Finally we arrived in KL. Dah petang dah pun. All in all memang fun trip. Sampai 6 part aku tulis. Kalah cerpen nak masuk Dewan Remaja. Tulis ni rasa macam nak muntah, harap yang membaca tidak la muntah.

But the whole time we were there... satu je aku nyesal tak buat. Tak pergi Bondi Beach and memposerkan diri! (Ha yes... aku dengar. Ye ngaku Loser...capital L for loser.. whatever). Asyik shopping sampai tak sempat nak pi sana. Padahal just a few stop from our place (ceh.. tiba-tiba our place... dah dapat PR jugak nampaknya). We did go at night... tapi apa la yang ada malam buta. I wonder... if pergi sana nak pakai apa. Kang aku pakai jeans and t-shirt dah macam orang Arqam aje in the midst of topless and skimpy clothed people. Tak menghormati majlis la pulak tak?

Alasannnnn......

Finally, I love this add at a bus stop. I just wish I can do it over and over again.
And I wish people get to see Sydney as well. People are very nice and friendly (read: not paranoid as some other continent) and the weather is brilliant.



Shall I return? If ada rezeki, suka aje. Tapi tak tau la apa yang aku nak buat lagi kat sana...except pi makan Indian food and naik ferry keliling sydney and see Bondi Beach in broad day light. Or maybe whale watching or visit the fisherman market... hmmmmmm Visa expired April 2010.... hmmmmmmm
