Our Last Iftar 2013 Together Date: 19 July 2013 For over a month, my baby sis Winzie was staying with us, as a maid... Haha, just joking! On her last day in Toowoomba, we decided to cook for Iftar together. So I made nasi lemak with fried chicken and Winzie made bee cupcakes! This rarely happens, me cooking for Iftar this year... Hihi... The next morning, we had our Sahur at 3 AM and off we went to Gold Coast Airport to send her home. By darling, missing you already!

Saddleback Mountain Lookout, NSW

Date: 1 July 2013 We were on our way from Mt Buller to Sydney for MPC2013. We decided not to stop by Canberra and visit Kiama instead. Before reaching the famous Blowhole, we made a detour up Saddleback Mountain. There were a group of cows crossing the road. This took a couple of minutes wait, they were moving veryyyy slowlyyyy... We continued up the road and reached the lookout. Breathtaking view of the towns and farm below. The sea was bright blue (it was really blue that day, not just because I enhanced the picture ;p) The bumpy hills were adorable~ A couple was sunbathing on the platform and I was sure they were not too keen at our "Wowwweee"s and "Fuiyooo"s... As we descended down the mountain, look who we met on the roadside... Brown Beauty... Gorgeous! Off we went to Kiama for the spectacular water jumping that is the Blowhole. Maybe I'll write about it someday... Maybe.. ;-)

Barossa Valley, South Australia

The View From Mengler Hill Date: 6 June 2013 Barossa Valley is famous for its many vineyards and wineries. For us who do not consume any alcohol, a visit there would just be for the beautiful sceneries and photography. It is a very long drive from Adelaide. We first visited Adelaide Hills and reached Barossa Valley at about 4 PM. There is really not much to do there, except for picture taking of course. I was contemplating between Murray River and Barossa Valley for today's itinerary... And maybeeee... If I had chosen the former, it would have been more interesting... Hmmm.. Maybe... ;p The Barossa Sculpture Park was located on Mengler Hill Lookout. It is a really nice place to enjoy the valley. Also, getting to know some fluffy sheep! Such a lovely hilly view. Maybe the the trip wasn't too bad after all [^_^]

Car Park Musolla

Image
We are currently on our way home from Sydney - a 12 hour drive! Our usual stops include toilet breaks, coffee breaks, lunch/dinner/breakfast stops, and also solat breaks. It is dark, cold, and misty but the car park is the only place to perform our prayers. All we need is a comfy picnic blanket and tadaaaa ... Instant musolla! Anyway, I really love my Kathmandu picnic blanket, bought on sale (clearance stock, yeah!). Bottom layer is waterproof, top layer is soft fleece, with a buckle for a perfect roll! [^_^] Hope to arrive home soon... Huarghhh... Super tired!
