Its been a long time sudah nda bejalan ke Goldcoast, and on the day I went there, it was actually an unplan decision. Anilah gara2 kejumpahan kawan kan keGoldcoast, so I make decision on the spot, booked a room in Courtyard Marriot, Surfer Paradise, then off I go ke Roma Station. I called up my good friend Ka Sur in Logan to join in sekaki tuk berpoya2 disana ;). Lucky me, mau ia ikut.... org kan exam lagi dibawa2 ani...

Anyhow, kami punya main objective kesana just to cuci mata, window shopping, jalan2 cari makan and beli2 mana2 yg patut lah from Seaworld and Movieworld.

Movie World - Hollywood on the Gold Coast

Me and my friends went to Movie World last Sunday on the 12th of April. Six of us altogether; me, Ka Surinah, Nurul (daughter of Shamilah & Hj Rahim) and friends from Sydney Kak Iyay + Amin (hubbynya) + Fayyadh (the little kiddo). The journey began at 7 am where we have to meet at Kelvin Grove Road bus stop to catch the 390/345 bus. Ka Surinah went to the bus stop earlier coz we promised to meet up with Nurul (Ka Shamilah antar kesanalah tu..), then, me.... I just waited for Kak Iyay and the gengs at tower 4 of The Village Centre.

Luckily we don't have to wait that long for the bus to come. We just drop in Roma Station and catch the Gold Coast Express train. Almost ketinggalan, but luckily the people there suruh the train to wait for us. Thanks to Ka Surinah for doing it for us hehehe.... if not, we have to wait for another one hour. The journey went smootly, I was sleepy hahaha... but luckily the two heroins keep on chatting and I just menampung-menampung if I have to ;)

Then, when we arrived at Helensvale Station about an hour plus later we have to catch another bus but I don't remember whats the bus number, what I know, I can see the word Movie World written on it. So, we arrived in Movie World about 9 am, but alum plang open lagi.... tapi we can see quite a few people bebaris in front of the counter. Me, Ka Sur and Nurul bought the tickets via online so we can go pass the counter then the other gengs alum ada tickets but we suruh durang baris dapan-dapan dekat kaunter.

When everybody got their own tickets, we start our journey in Movie World.... oh man... so much excitement in there, wish my wallet is full that time hahaha... but anyway, I still can go there with my multiple entries ticket which cost me Aud$70 (sempena 150 tahun Queensland, so Queensland residents dapat discount tickets hehehe.... termasuklah rakyat asing yg menetap disini sebagai student).

The best part in Movie World, we took pictures with Cat Woman and other cartoon characters. The kadainya pun mcm2 ada.... kadai Shrek, then Harry Potter Shop, etc... nda lagi ku ingat nama2 kadainya... but for sure so many shops lah. We watch the Hollywood Stunt Driver.... crazy.... I managed to record it in my webcam and at the end when I watch it back home, paning-paning lalat selajur. At 11.30 am we lepak-lepak depan Rick's Cafe Americain & Rick's Bar and this restaurant is a Halal certified yehee... again a big thank you to Ka sur for belanja (I mean sedakah) us for lunch. We owe you a lot ka Sur hehehe... jgn marah and jgn jara ahhh.... ;). Then among the six of us... eh tolak little kiddo si wang Fayyadh, the five of us, time bab lunch ani hahahaha... tolak Nurul saja makan sikit, the rest wahh.... sungguh berselera.... nyasal nda ambil gambar masa time makan... nda apa, next time will do... I guess we all click in time makan.

After lunch, we went around the area and me & Nurul main Scooby-Doo Spoky Coaster - mannnnn.... what a long que.... during our turn nasib baik nda tejeluak muntah gara-gara naik coaster lapas lunch. Then, we even got picture taken while on the coaster yeheee... ada jua kenang-kenangan but of course we have to pay for it. After that we naik Wild West Falls Adventure Ride.... got pictures too... at the end of the ride me and Nurul basah baju.

Then, the grand finale of the day, we watched the All Stars Parade presented by Austin Power charater. That was really fun. Got them all recorded.... wish I should take photos earlier on hehehe so that I can show it here..... anyway.... I got a few photos to share with friends.... till then...

Cheers

Adventure to Sea World, Goldcoast.

Sea World entrance...

Tickets booths, near the entrance, as that day was Saturday, so many visitors come and we have to wait for our turn to buy tickets which cost us Aud$33 (offered price for resident, we are considered as one, because we are students, the original pricing is Aud$66)

Just wanna show you people where to get Halal foods, its a buffet type restaurant, so each person (adult) have to pay for Aud$23.95 and the kids, just pay according to their age. The foods are really good, we loved it, and a couple of friends (including me hehehe) tend to have 2nd and 3rd round.

This is Australian Pelican bird, the biggest birds in Sea World, the height up to a man's waist. I took this photos about 2 meters away.... awesome!!

This is Captain Cook's Endeavour Ship and situated near the Dolphin Nursery.

The Sesame Street Beach...

This is Big Bird's Theatre...

This is Bert & Ernie's Big Dive...

The Sesame Street Beach Stage Show.... I just loved Elmo, the red guy hehehe

The sharks, in the underground Shark Bay viewing area....

The fishes... I don't know what is the name...

On the 26th April, me and my friends went to Sea World, Goldcoast. We have been making plans for this journey since weeks ago. So of course we are really excited and really looking forward for this moment. We rent a van (12 seaters van actually), then on that day, me, Hj Rahim + Shamilah & their 4 kids, Ka Surinah and Brother Ahmad started our fun journey. Unfortunately a few other friends can't come with us because of others commitment (especially assignments hehehe). There, I bought a few souveniors, especially the things with Sea World name on it. I even bought two caps, one cap named Bay Shark and the other one is Sesame Street Beach, Grovy. Ok, I put a few pics... so, enjoy....
