Budget traveler for the first time

Salam and hello there! No one is reading though but whatever I am so perasan famous please ignore me.

I did mentioned about me going to OZ recently and believe me it was a really save/budget trip for me and yes! 'twas my first time ever on a budget trip. I will tell you how as if somebody is reading this.

Flight booking
To be honest this is my first time ever traveling long distance with AirAsia (yeaaa you heard me the unfriendly cabin crew airline) so I was kinda scared but as I mentioned it's a budget trip so yeah. I booked my flight like few months ahead and my return ticket the morning before I flew off which is 9 days before my depart's date. AirAsia always always have this promo and you need to survey for the cheapest airline. Like for my flight to Adelaide, I know the cheapest it could be is around 400 MYR (plus the maximize meals and luggage) yes this is a budget trip but I still need a maximized meal as I need to puasa the following day so I wait no longer and just book.

As for my flight from Adelaide to Gold Coast it cost about the same price and that is considered the cheapest after the conversion, of course. We are traveling with Virgin Australia and their cabin crew give me a whole lot different perspective of 'presentable' in cabin crew kind of definition. Sighhh*
And 'twas a transit/one stop flight where we transit in Melbourne. And did I mentioned I was seated next to these siblings that the brother is soooo hot but he was doing his Chinese homework on board? How rajin he is.

Accommodation
During my stay in Adelaide I tumpang my friend's house and food was provided so I save a lot like A LOT with capital letters. But during my stay in Gold Coast,we stayed at 4 star apartment at the main beach parade where you know you can see the surfers paradise main beach from your balcony and you can even 'whale-watching' from your unit. I didn't get to see any though. But whatttt a 4 star apartment for a budget trip? Yes! So my friend's house-mate found this promo in Groupon but the promo is for only 4 people in one unit. Us, being our innocent selves, declared that there will be 6 of us all together. That caused us to pay some extra dollars for 2 extra beds. But I tell you, the apartment is huge and the extra bed had gone to waste. Because it was so spacious that nobody even bother to use them. So what I'm trying to say is promo coupon really does you justice. 4 star apartment for 5 nights cheaper than 5 nights at the backpackers hostel? Say whuttttttt you gotta be kiddin me.

But we did spent a night (well 2 for me) at the backpackers on our last day as we think it'd be very convenient as it is very very near to the airport like with my kind of walking pace you can reach there like 10 mins or less? We save on the airport transfer by doing this CAN'T YOU SEE DATTT?!!

Activities
So we pre-booked everything (like I pre-booked my Katy Perry's Prism deluxe edition because I want that prism seed because only like 30000 early birds got to own it) no related I know but yes pre-booked everything like googled for the attraction and find the cheapest promo and stuff. Well I love tiger so much that I really wish to put the lions to sleep but it was so expensive a big NO NO for a budget trip. And did I mentioned I got additional 5% discount for my transfer package for 3 days and my $89.99 AUD for 3 theme parks entrance because I liked them on Facebook? YESSSS YOU HEARD ME. It's as simple as that.

And don't forget to read the terms and conditions and expiry date before purchasing.

I'm tired good night!

A room to think #part2

Hello again! This is my 2nd post in a day I think or it isn't? I'm blogging using my phone because.. just because 😏

So this is the other half (or more) part of the stories of my deep thinking (konon). So my other room-mate at YHA started talking to me about how boys had been all over her yadda yadda that she can't even remember their names and whatever I didn't pay attention much because I was sleepy. But something that she said goes like ".. it doesn't matter how you look, fat or thin, big or small, tall or short, everybody should be treated equally" and then I started to think again if things will be as easy? Like if you are ugly and not 'somebody' will people still look up to you? No. The answer will always remain the same. A big fat NO. Because thats the truth especially in life these days. Where everybody is chasing fame and comparing their life with other aimlessly. What do we get out of it?

I come to the extend where I deactivated all my social media account (not that it really matter though) to find some peace. Because to me all these social media thing is a disease. Like if you don't have any of if, you would not know how others had been living their life so there'll be no hatred, jealousy and such, yes?

So there goes all my pouring heartfelt of my sooo called deep thinking. I am not chasing fame by writing all these I just feel like I'm in a desperate need to write. I've changed my blog url so that this blog will be hard to find. Till then!

A room to think

Before you read please leave all your negativity and judgmental piece of mind behind. Please

So 2014 had been a really, very tough year for Malaysia and myself personally. I recently come back from OZ and as always I enjoyed every moment being there. So I had done a lot by a lot I mean A LOT LIKE MASSIVE DEEP THINKING while I was there.

What recently happened, the unfortunate ill fated flight that had been shot down news really hit me, hard. When I first board the plane for my trip to OZ, I secretly hope the plane will crash and I'd die in an instant because at that moment I thought that what I am going through at that particular time is emm.. too much? Sighh* But just because I had it hard doesn't mean I have to be selfish by sacrificing the other hundreds living souls that only God knows what are their aim of flying with me. And the main question is am I really ready for what awaits? The life in the hereafter? The answer will always be no.

And then I remembered a message from a friend of mine to doa banyak banyak during my musafir period. And then another message saying that God won't test us beyond what we are capable of. And then another tag on Instagram on a quote saying that God take something from us in order to replace them with something better. And the list goes on.. But talk is cheap and I'm losing hope, already.

As I said I had done a lot of thinking. When I was alone at YHA (it's the hostel with 6 people in a room I'm staying at) and I was alone because my friends went back a day earlier from me, I watched a movie starring Zac Efron 'The Awkward Moment'. It was a very very good movie that everyone should be watching minus the awkward part that we would not want to watch with our parents. So there's a line in the movie goes like ".. trying to figure out what to do between meals". And I started to think what is the purpose of me living in this world? And during the night, my room-mate asked me whether I'm studying and what course am I taking and she told me that she's doing some sort of teaching research and related to India (yes India the country) kind of thang. I can't remember clearly because I was sleeping and had been woken up. And she said ".. everybody should be given their freedom of expression, by doing what they love" and she did mentioned about something related to art. Yes art, the thing I feel like I am most passionate about. Major sighhhh*

And this is a big fat boring post already I will continue someday in part 2. Toodles!
