idul fitri 1430 H 20-09-2009: Charters Towers

lucky.. I got this spot under the tree without bats/flying foxes occupants

I made it different this time from the past which is attending a few boring halal-bil-halal gatherings. First of all.. official 110 K/h is awsome hehe.. Second of all asking where am I without realizing I am here is soooooo silly... heehee.. "You're in Charters Towers..!".

I am enjoying the city. I starts with being a part of the historic buildings.. in photos. Posing.. posing and posing like crazy.. until.. "may I help you taking your picture?" and I do not accept this generousity from a very generous grandpa. Hi.. being a part is.. really being a part.. I never be posed closed up.. forbidden.. hahahaha.. just look at my pic above.. I wanted badly my 'grilled fish head' and the chef to be obviously photographed, but the agreement was not in my side hehe.. Note: Not bad lebaran menu: ikan bakar and ayam goreng merah ala Padang.. sedaaaaappp..

I am also being a part of the 'direction disorientation' memberships.. and sure being happy realizing I am not the only one hehe..

Time's up.. and ups.. forgot the lookout up the Towers Hill.. padahal aku juga pingin.. :(
my sunglasses which refused being cooperative with my eyes made this situation even a bit more badly.. funny moments though.. :)

Mission Beach, Queensland Australia

16th August 2009

kekaguman dan takjub ku dalam hati terlukis dalam serangkaian kata.. 'it's perfect'.. 'it's beautiful' saat aku menyaksikan mentari di ufuk timur malu merangkak terbit.. ia kecil.. tak jauh beda dengan sang bulan saat purnama..

aku sudah pernah menyaksikan bulan purnama terbit.. tapi gak niy sang mentari.. masa kecilku sih dah terbiasa melihat mentari dah di langit dalam kondisi khas baru terbit karena masa kecilku di kota pantai, Cirebon, West Java Indonesia.. mengawali perjalanan 45 menit menuju SMAN 2 Cirebon bersama Bapak ku plus mobilnya. Namun kalo melihat details gerakannya baru kali ini.
My last try was in Gold Coast back in 2004 but saat itu berawan, gak bisa lihat motion nya. Di The Strand, Townsville Australia juga coba lagi also in the same year.. tapi missed out a bit..

Thank to my research volunteer who also volunteering walk with me to the beach in the early morning to enjoy this beautiful sunrise.. ever.. I love this moment.. really truly.. especially when we met and greeted a little lonely Crustacean baby.

Saturday Castle Hill

Here I am back to campus..

setelah hiking on Castle Hill.. sudah beberapa kali sech kemari.. but rasanya baru menyadari Castle Hill emang untuk dinikmati dengan hiking atau jalan sehat atau bahkan lari. Bagiku ini kali pertama, coz maklum biasanya nebeng mobil. Menyusuri lingkar tracknya adalah menyusuri scenery view Townsville dari 4 arah mata angin.. menyusuri jalan aspalnya adalah menapaki jejak warna langit menyemburat senja berpadu indah dengan pantulan warnanya di laut lepas Townsville.

dinner.. nonton THE CORES untuk kesekian kalinya, namun kali ini tak begitu puas karena:
-- harus balik ke kampus..
-- banting2 antena gara2 jealous ama yg punya tv digital hehe..
