I could be a little in - SANE at times

So I am on a month plus holiday, hence, scouting for a new adrenaline rush activities before I get back to work.

Dad is now retired, parents on holidays, I am on holiday.. dad ask me to scout for a quick vacation.. *JACKPOT*!

Initial plan was registering for umrah, God how I want to go and visit the holy land. Tough luck, visa application ended , people might overstay for haj.. make more duas Insha Allah hope that my intention will bring me there next year. Insha Allah.

So umrah's out *Boo hoo hoo*sob*sob*

Melbourne seemed to be the number one choice now. I was never fond of Australia but I am sure it has changed a lot since the last time I was there. Sydney as the first Aussie experience was sorta a let down.

Best thing about my Sydney trip?

-Dad thought Bondi beach is a family spot. Needless to say it was one of the topless beach as well. So I witnessed that at the age of 12 :-D

Then , dad make me all excited by suggesting a 7 day stay in Melbourne and a possible 7 day stay in Auckland , New Zealand. Suggesting je baru.

What can an overly excited girl like me do?

Check out The Must Do's in Auckland and Melbourne. (notice how i put Auckland first ;))

At the end of my many reading I come to conclusion that I could be in-SANE at times.

Why? Here's what I saved in my bb.

Auckland

1. Bungee Jumping at Auckland Bridge

2. Kelly Tarlton Underwater World & Atartic Adventure

I was excited by the line "For the brave-hearted, experience the interactive stingray Bay by swimming with stingrays; or get in the shark tank and swim with real-life sharks!".

I am sure swimming in a shark tank would break the bank for me. If it's affordable but I chickened out, I'd say "I swam with sharks already in Redang" true but jeez it was just coral sharks.

3. Canyoning adventures

"Abseiling (repelling) down showering waterfalls surrounded by moss and fern covered volcanic rock walls, swimming through pools of blues and greens, jumps, caves, and slides"

Ok here's the deal. People did not go to NZ to shop, they go for the nature's experience. This mean sea, waterfalls,sailing and just many outdoors activities. So this is a must i suppose.

4. A visit to Davenport


Need I say more?

And the first thing I was attracted to when I typed in "Things to Do in Melbourne"


Melbourne Skydive Center..


If I managed to go and do these crazy stuff, it's because

1. I would beg and beg dad and he'll do it to shut me up

2. I could grab a partner brave enough to do it with me. (gotta persuade Luke in NZ and Kim in Melbourne to do it with me)

If I don't

1. Parents treats my begging like a chirping bird and ignore it.

2. I don't have a brave enough of a partner

3. God won't let me.

4. Too expansive..


I pray hard this trip in the first place, jadi! Insha Allah
