Trip to Gold Coast

Our vacation to Australia turned out to be quite eventful. Upon arrival at the Brisbane airport, we could not find our stroller. Someone has mistakenly took our stroller and left his/hers at the airport (which we did not take of course). So we just had to make the best of the journey without the stroller.

We had a great time at Movie World on the first day and Sea World on the 2nd day (we decided to rent a stroller from the hotel on the 2nd day to avoid Izzat getting too tired and became grumpy :)) Izzaty was really excited to get her photos taken with her favourite cartoon characters like Bugs Bunny, Powerpuff girls, Tweety, Batman, ect. We also had a ball trying most of the rides at both Movie Worlds and Sea World!!

We had a free day on the 3rd day that we decided to go to the Currumbin Wildlife Sactuary on our own. Unlike Izzaty, Izzat was adventurous enough to feed the kangaroos with his own hand. We took a few pictures with a koala bear and it was at that time that particular koala bear chose to 'berak'... yulky!!! Later, we got the chance to go to the Carrara Market for window shopping (things at the market are more expensive than we've expected!) before heading back to the Surfing Paradise where we had our rest a few minutes at our hotel room and later enjoyed the beach on a very windy evening. On the 4th day, we went to Brisbane for a city tour before later headed back to the Brisbane Airport for our flight home....

Last Thursday we went to Sekolah Alam Shah to accompany Zamri to pick up his SPM result. Amazingly, he got 10 A1s and 1 A2.... an excellent result considering how active he was in the school band and debate team. We are so proud of him! :) While he was busy chatting away with friends who he has not meet for quite sometime... we went to Alamanda for window shopping and did some groceries. ... the first time ever I stepped my feet in Alamanda! :)
Last weekend we went to the MATTA fair just to browse around what's in offer.. lots of good offer around.. but we did not buy anything as we've already made plans for Australia this month and Redang Island next September. Anyway, later we went to Petaling Streets as hubby would like to buy a pair of cool sunglasses for the Australia trip. What a tiring day...
Izzaty got a bad cough last night... so this morning, I sent her to the doctor early in the morning before I left for work. Alhamdulillah, she agreed to take the medicines as I told her to get well soon before our Australia vacation. She's counting days.... 9 more days to go!! :)

Now that the conversion is finally over... I feel so exhausted!! Had to work on Saturday to check the daily conversion is okay.. alhamdulillah... though there were some minor problems here and there... I'd say the overall conversion went quite well... Alhamdulillah.... :)
I'm already engaged with another project... which is yet to start (should start anytime now) - wish I could have more time to rest... sheesh!! :(
Anyway, Izzaty is counting days for our vacations... and I've started buying things to bring to Australia. It's 2 more weeks.. and I really can't wait!!! :)
