"Trekking Kangaroos @ Hillsborough"

Rather than founding any alive kangaroos hopping around, yet I've found lots of dead ones along Bruce Highway when I had my roadtrip a day after our trekking. But guess the OZs wouldn't mind as one mate told me they hv lots, they started to slaughter and having them for a meal. Anyway, Kangaroos could hv be dangerous for their plantings, farmings...so, it's part of ecological control there...no worries, I've been crying and asked my mate to stop the car so that we can bury them somewhere near the cane's field...which my mate replied, "stop being ridiculous, they just fine, they were at peace"

"Crocs hunter...let's get crinkey!!!"

the hunting begins

a croc's car

that's Carl, the crocodile hunter

Baby Madeleine & Baby Amelia have so much fun there

Baby Lola just chilling

Lunch, crocodile meat ;p

Glad that we're all safe & sound

Visit to the Green Room is a must!!!

Unwrap the hunting session

"Gidday Mate!!!"

Thought Bali is my heaven. I was wrong. As soon as landed in Brisbane and then took Fokker ride to reach my destination, I do not even know where to lay my eyes. Too many distractions. Guys with buff bodies, sleeves tattoos walking around with “surfing boards”. Even it was actually at the airport. Not a beach, no.

Wow!

And whenever they’ve bumped into you. The greetings, “Hey, mate! nice day today yea!”

I replied with shyness and boldness, “yea, yea, absolutely. Nice;op”

A dear shout out to Jayden & Tara, they are the super talented couple behind http://www.theaustraliantourist.com/ a multi-dimensional travelogue, a must have guide for those looking for serenity and yet adventurous trip. I’ve met them during crocodile hunting & eco safari trip. When a videographer met with a photographer and they both found soul mate in each other’s, then pursue what they love doing and passionate most in life, it must have feel like fireworks or dynamite. Wish, someday I do have the courage and opportunity to be able to do what I’m passionate most with someone who appreciate and recognize that.

Baby Madeleine

I’ve been traveling on my own for quite sometimes, sadly, I tend to forget how beautiful & amusing for having children’s laughter & crying on board with you while traveling, lots of questions and never stop talking along the way. Throwing tantrums…those laughter…to be honest, made me forgot my worries…and I, no doubt falling madly in love with a little girl…3 years old Madeleine, “Dora, the explorer’s aficionado”…I just can’t get enough of her cuteness and her small nose. She’s just simply wonderful little person.

Going home

All I can say, this is the trip that brought me closer to nature. Relaxing, laid back, nice weather, beautiful sceneries, unwind, fine dining and just lazy around. No bad smells that hinder my feelings, no architectural & historical buildings that dwell in my thoughts, no cultural engage with my attentions, just peace within me. Me and nature. Nothing in between. Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, Red, White, Lavender. Everything seems so smoothing & breezing…

To all my dearest friends, whom I knew and whom that I’ve came to know, (you guys know who you are…:o). Thanx a million, mates!

Cheers!!!

P/s: Stay tune. whole lots more to come:o)

"Auf Wiedersehen!"

my fave portrait shot that nite, both are sweating but still managed to look good

We had BBQ dinner last night in Creek. Saying "Auf Wiedersehen! to Aram Steeve”. He’ll be leaving Dubai for good. Not going home to Germany but off to Cairns for his new Pub’s venture. There were Alan, Lily, myself and joining by Alex. Tina can’t make it last night as she’s unwell. Again, as usual we didn’t plan this. We just want to have nice, close-knit dinner. Talking, dine and unwind. So, we bought the disposable grille, some kababs, German’s sausages (mental note: not pork no. it’s chicken actually) on the way to the park and yeah…with Alex’s Polish spices. When we reached the park. Not many people there. Perhaps due to the humid, people decided to stay at home.

We have really nice spot tho. Cosy & Secluded. While the guys started the BBQ, my job as always, staging the table and playing some Marvin Gaye’s from my andy. While Alex and Lily chatting and doing some stuffs with the fresh liver with Alex’s spices. It was fine night, tho everyones have fair-share of sweating, lots, there was laughter, lots too. But it was sad also. Everything that start will always end. Is it a MUST? I wonder.

 

"Tea Room Talk: What's with the Plan"

Today, kind of depressing bits. When most of your friends knew you are going. They start asking you; “what’s your plan”. I have received 10 emails today itself. And not counting when the news starting to spread, by which most of us received an invitation to our own farewell party (by the way, we have to pay also…). Anyway, this “plan thing issues” making me nervous to think that…me, embracing early of “the prime age” and yet, have no plan for the first time, first time. Whereas some of us becoming “mastermind of our own rights”. Marky Z is a multi billionaire and he’s not even 30 yet. (mental note: I do not want to be billionaire, I just want to keep doing what I love doing…). Altho, I keep on answering “Life is what happens…” but deep down, it does not sound too convincing. 

It’s too shabby. It’s like, you do not want to try at anything at all.

And I do not have any reason anymore to run away like I did previously. One of my best girlfriends said, “when you are young, you did that, you are naïve. But when you are older, it just plain stupid”. Agreed. Well said.

So, as my birthday approaching in 2 weeks time, I’ve came up with a plan during lunch hour. I will request my dear friends who care about me (mental note: it means no harm for me to think that they actually do care for me even if it’s the other way round…hehehehe) perhaps they could answer a question that help me to figure out. As my birthday gift.

 

Something. Atleast, one thing. An idea for A plan.
