I’m missing Australia so much that I can’t believe it. I still love Seoul, Korea… then anything else. But Australia being the first ‘english’ country I visited, a place that I travel with my bffs, lots of fun and happy and definitely heart to heart talks too. Though many say its seems like I been to a long trip, but its a ‘rush trip’ and of cos, it’s never enough when we are traveling with friends. Or should I say it.. HOLIDAYS WITH FRIEND, AWAY FROM WORK… is never enough! haha Australia is a place for seafood lover…! You know, how much I love Salmon, Fish, and anything in between… And, I think I had Salmon everyday! So so so blessed and it’s filled with happiness. My happiness is so easily contented with just salmon… LOL! But you should know where I’m getting from…

I have posted the photo above on my instagram as well as twitter, but I thought, I should left a footprint here too! I love my camera, I think I see a great difference from the quality from my S90. S90 is good, just that Pen3 seems even better, definitely, it’s like almost a DSLR price.. IT SHOULD BE GOOD! haha

Meanwhile, I shall continue my entries… IT IS TAKING WAY TOO LONG ;/

#insist on putting this photo though haha, it was… actually lambs… so cute!

#our hotel, love this place because is THIS BIG!!! 2 Single beds with 1 Queen size, totally amazing!

Ended our first official day in Hobart! I think I forget about our grocery shopping, and we bought limited edition ice cream too haha! It really fun and amazing, we were going for Cruise Tour tmr! Wee!!

But, I love the planning/research and everything in between, because I thought that could be one of the fun part for traveling. It felt good if everyone enjoyed the trip because of your effort! One would have guessed how tough is to plan and ensure everything goes well, without any issue, could be food or clothing or maybe anything!

Well, we woke up so early, met Yodo’s friend – Jerold at her apartment lobby, nevertheless we will have such an exciting and unforgettable morning we could ever imagine.

#staying in the city was so great. (imagine you are staying like maybe at Plaza Sing, or 313? )

#One of the most prettiest station ever!

#We were early, and thought maybe let’s have a bite. It was a mistake because the sandwiches was bad. It doesn’t even deserve a photo haha!

#so this is how a domestic flight airport will look like, rather…. ‘simple’.

This is the funniest part. We had our breakfast as mentioned previously… and we reached our boarding gate and realize, it seems that no one is around. We started laughing whether Hobart is a nice place to go, and how come not a single person except us is queuing for the plane. Then, we started to selca because we had nothing to do! lol! Just when we started to get ‘suspicious’ because we were not able to see our plane details on the electronic board, Yodo and Jerold decided to ask the staff whether our plane flew off? It was about 5 mins away from the departure time. THEN… the staff shared that the gate number was CHANGED! We didn’t have time to say any single thing but FLEW to our new gate before the plane really flew without us. We didn’t hear any announcement and there wasn’t any notice on the electronic board that there was a changed of gate. It shouldn’t be such a case since MEL is a city just like Singapore? So, we ran like crazy in the morning with that heavy 7kg luggage/ hand carry.

You know, we started such a day. What an episode!

#on our way, 1hour flight to Hobart airport!

#starting the journey with 4 of us exploring Tasmania!

#Reached, raining…. and seen the smallest luggage belt ever haha! Got our car right after this from Hertz!

#First Stop, Barilla Bay.

#It’s located very near the airport, and at such time, we were going….

#no, not having chicken definitely… but, in Singapore, we were only able to see chicken walking around in farm?

#Turn in here when you see this if you are looking for…

#Cold Seafood Platter!

#Oysters and Prawn… My very first time with Oyster and it’s in oversea. Great Experience. Weird Taste, but it’s sooo smooth!

#us, in the morning, the most fresh look ever I ‘believe’ ;P

Right after that, we got really excited over traveling on our own with our own transport! You know, traveling with our luggage as well, it seems so unbelievable that we had such challenge and definitely its fun with the company! Headed to cadbury, the smell was so strong that we can’t help to wanting to get inside FAST! but, the saddest part is, it was a PH and they DO NOT open on a PH, oh gosh! What else can be happen on the same day… first the flight, next is PH….

#view from the ‘cafe’

#our first fish and chip!

#just photos around the wharf!

#on our way to cadbury to realize, it’s closed! So we went Art Museum.

#concentrate yodo in the house yo!

#never able to see this so often in Singapore! All angmoh, excited…!

#Room view, we stayed at Old WoolStore Apartment (Hotel standard) in Hobart. It’s really good, perfect location as well

#Since everything is closed… we headed to this thai restaurant, BUT was a wrong choice! *all kind of the scary thoughts of Hong Kong dramas look exactly is going to happen here lol*

#Salty ever tom yum was a wrong choice!

#Egg that you probably able to cook better with eyes closed!

#which part of this dish tell you is pad thai? so disappointed! (fried rice was hopeless!)

#this probably one of the best dish from what we ordered. but bad as well.

I don’t and won’t recommend this restaurant, but if you want to risk it, here you go! :/
Address: Siam Garden. 81A Bathurst Street  Hobart TAS 7000, Australia

We started our day with drama, ended the day with a sad stomach. It was totally a different thought from what everyone mentioned of how fun is Tasmania. We ‘lost’ hope but, was thinking maybe its really better tmr. Well, indeed, ITS REALLY FUN AFTER THE DAY 1 lol!!! Let me continue to edit the photos, and upload it once it was done *hwaiting! I’m addicted to playing with photoshop now!!!!*

Love this photos from Teng’s D仔.
At TAZ, Cadbury Chocolate Factory.

ALL ACCOMMODATION BOOKED!

‘Pat on my shoulder’

Relieve is the first thing I ever felt when both of this accommodation is finally booked. You can have nothing planned, nowhere to go but you can’t have no where to stay! TRUST ME, your accommodation is very very important! Though, the last thought was renting a canavan if anything just went wrong last mins. hurhur. I mean, I will have backup plan! So, isn’t I one of the perfect person to actually be in charge of the itinerary?

Well, I left with Hobort City lodging, and this is tough… many places are fully booked, and they are left with places with really expensive lodging…! This is tough! Well, anything can be solve if there’s money, so it is still not that difficult afterall Hwaiting! ^^

It’s my very first time taking Jetstar, seriously, except the fact that I’m going Hobart, if not I don’t even make this one of my choices. lol. I just doesn’t like budget airline ever since I took Silkair, it was a very bad experience. So, if I can, I always make the point to take a better flight. Hope this can make my thinking changed.

The fact is Budget airline wasn’t budget after all, I didn’t expect that we will have to pay AUD5 to select our seat yawn~ This is so not going to be real. So, we decided to go airport earlier instead of paying 10AUD to-and-from melbourne. lol. AND the funniest part is, if we paid the online tickets by credit card/debit card, a GOOD 17AUD/per to be paid as additional charge…! OMG this is just so freaking cheater for a budget airline right? I just can’t believe there is so much hidden cost for budget airline. 

Look like, I’m so pamper with the good service SQ always given to me. I LOVE SQ!  

Well, aside from the fact which flight I’m taking… YES! I finally get my domestic ticket! Technically, not exactly, because I have yet paid Yodo for the ticket haha! She is the boss now! I have almost finished planning for TAZ, and it look pretty pack due to the traveling hours. Oh god! Why are all the locations so far away from each other? And according to my research, I will be staying 3 places this trip! Looking at my itinerary, it spelled – FUN & EXCITING!

TAZ, here we come! :)))
