iPlay @ Gold Coast, Australia

We went to Gold Coast after we left Cairns. Gold Coast is a well-known theme park capital of Australia. It has Warner Bros Movie world, Sea World Gold Coast and so on. We did not to go to any theme park as we aren't theme park lover.

We joined duck tour and walked around the city aimlessly to enjoy the beauty of the city. Then we strolled along the beautiful beach side.

Surfers Paradise.

We sat on the beach, took my shoes of to feel the sand between my toe. The sea breeze was so refreshing. The relaxing sound of the waves that crushing on the beach make me so in love with Gold Coast

Beautiful people was around the beach.

Sunrise and infinity sea view.

From Q1's observation deck - Skypoint

Q1 is the tallest building in Australia. It has a 360 degree view at the Skypoint. One of the  friendly local resident brought us around the deck and share the history of Gold Coast with us. He pointed out the whale in the sea when whale reach the surface to breathe.

No more lonely nights!

We stopped by Harbour Town Outlet Shopping Centre for shopping. Don't miss out this place if you like to shopping. The shopping centre is about 20 mins away by bus from Surfer Paradise. Get your cash or credit card ready as you may find a great discount in this shopping centre.

Accomodation:
We were staying at Hotel Grand Chancellor in Gold Coast. The hotel is close to the beach. It has good view from room's balcony. The room was cleaned and the staff were friendly. It worth the money that we was paid for. I would recommend this hotel for those who are planning to visit to Gold Coast.

iEat @ DIY Lettuce Wrap

I googled how to get rid of the lettuce in my fridge and I found this recipe - lettuce wrap. The recipe looks fairly easy so I decided to give it a try.

I used ground chicken for the lettuce wrap. It took about 20 mins to prepare it. I put garlic, onion, ginger and ground chicken into a large skillet and stir fried it with medium high heat until it turned brown. Then I stirred in soy sauce, dark soy source, sesame oil, chili flakes and cooking wine. I seasoned it with salt and pepper. It is now ready to serve!

Spoon the chicken onto the lettuce leave. fold it up and EAT. Apparently it's not a good choice to use lollo bionda lettuce. It is quite messy to wrap the chicken up with, but it is still tasty! :D

iPlay @ Nepal

First of all, I would like to thanks the Airasia X for bringing me to this magical Nepal with affordable airfare. This ticket was booked 8 months ago.

I was excited and counting down when the travel date is near. Finally, it the day! I'm going to spend my coming 8 days in Nepal.

The flight from Malaysia to Kathmandu took about 5 hours. Please do no sleep when the flight is about to touch down to Nepal! Otherwise, you might miss the chance to see panoramic mountain range view from the airplane window. You will be able to see the mountain view on your right side when you fly from Malaysia. But i have no idea what is the name of these mountain Everest? Maybe.

Can you feel the power of mother earth?? 

“Namaste!!”(It mean hello or goodbye in Nepal) We were warm greeted by the friendly driver once arrived at Kathmandu. While we heading to guesthouse, i can see prayer flags were hanging everywhere in Kathmandu city. These flags are used to promote peace, compassion, strength, and wisdom.

Trucks are everywhere in Kathmandu.

After resting a night at Kathmandu city, my friends and i had a good close up to the ecology by visiting to Chitwan National Park also known as Heart of the Jungle. View along the way from Kathmandu to Chitwan National Park is amazing. The natural beauty is everywhere in Nepal.

The view out lf every window resemble this. 

There was a lot of activity in the park such as jungle adventure, canoeing, bath with elephant and much more. I had experienced a slow and relaxing moment during the visit to the park. 

It's 11am now. Brunch time.

Canoe ride at Narayani River.
