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

Makeup Sessions.

Me and a couple of OZ friends did a makeup course in the city. So as part of the assessment we have to do working experience in makeup services.... so, what we did, we have to find a few 'victims' (hehehe.....) and put it in our assessment record. Makeup is another hobby of mine beside photograpy (terbengkalai dahhhh....) before... I used to play makeup with my older nieces and closed friends in Brunei and even my sister-in-law and I try to put makeups on them if we have to attend functions/ceremonies. I even do hairstyling on them.... yg curling curling pakai tongs atuuu..... hahahah..... When I made up my mind to do a makeup course while I am studying in Brisbane, my hubby, my brothers and a few sisters give me a big laugh on me.... 'Apa angin kan belajar makep'...... I don't know why.... I guess it must be funny for them heheheh.... :)... maybe.... I think...... ;)

Anyway, I don't called my self as a makeup artist because I still have lots to learn.... lots and lots and lots...... and... lots of practical hours to do too. So, my makeup is till not perfect yet, compare to those professional makeup artists in Brisbane and Brunei. However, I did have lots and lots of fun doing it with my friends..... to me it is kind of a therapeutic to release my tension hahaha.... anyway, I was hoping in the future I can learn more makeup styles, especially Bruneian/Indonesian/Malaysian styles. Ok dokey.... just to show some pics.... again, it is not perfect... it is just a hobby.....

Cheers.

CP5 Rotation 1 (14th Feb - 16th March 2009)

Hi peps,

Its been a long time since I updated my blog, nada masa, very busy with my study and practical work. I haven't got the time to 'click' 'click' around Brisbance City since ages ago. Haven't got my canon camera with me, I lend it to my lil bro who is now crazy about photography and at the end I even lost touch on my hobby. With the help of my little point and shoot camera.... I guess I can take pictures but infortunately not as good quality as the pro camera.

Times do really goes so fast, I have 2 more months to go before I go home for good to Brunei (yeheeee).... but I do feel a bit sad because Brisbane is a second home for me for the past few years. The place where I stay (Kelvin Grove)... I got a few Bruneian friends who came here with their families.. ..so we used to gather in Kulgun Park and have a little chit chat and picnic.... which is almost every week if the weather is ok. So, it is kind of sad to leave my good and closed friends here.... for sure I will cry by the end of the day 'sob'.... 'sob'....

Anyway, I will just post the latest pic.... just to show some for the families and a few friends... ;)

During my CP5 - rotation 1, I was in Perioperative area in Royal Brisbane Women Hospital. From left to right: Amylia, Yolanda, Rebecca, me (hehehe... yg paling gelap sekali hahaha), Jung, Dan Wang and Karen. We have lots of fun working in this hospital. My good facilitator is Sharon O'Toole, she is an awesome person I ever meet.... unfortunately I don't have her pic here.

Happy New Year 2009

New year... new year.... new year 2009. Sorry, its been a long time since I updated my blog. Been very very busy since I started my clinical prac in Brisbane Private Hospital. Anyway, now I am home in Brunei, I will have a 7 weeks semester break... yehaaaa... (I deserved to have one... mengalih otakku sudah). Anyway, just to say a big welcome to my new family member... a baby boy with the name of Abdul Wadud bin Abu Talib. Congratzzz dapat baby boy lagi in the family. Tapi alum ada kesempatan to take the pic. Then, a big welcome too to sis Winnie the Pooh (you know who you are hehehe), first time jumpa on sunday 21st Dec 2008.

Anyway, in 2008, I have so many good and bad memories... semua jadi pengajaran and ikhtibar in order to keep walking forward. Life goes on. For this new year 2009, I was hoping to do something different (secret plan) and then looking forward to graduate from uni... aminx3. Inda lagi sanggup tuk jauh-jauh with the kids... I always missed my son and daughter ;)... tapi banar ehh hehehe... bah... nanti tah lagi... I got a few videos, hopefully dapat ku download here

Cheers
