' Song To Download '

Recently..

i successfully downloaded
these song:

Sami Yusuf - Asma U Allah

after recent surfing in internet..

FYI,
this is the theme song for
Jejak Rasul 15 - Sirah Anbiya'..

just in the end of this programme..
the theme song stated is
'without u' by sami yusuf,
of course is inappropriate..

one more song
i was looking for
but the result is miserable:

Yasin Sulaiman - Nur Kasih

again,
it is theme song for
TV3 currently on air
' Nur Kasih '
9pm every friday...

but im not the
ardent fan of
this 'islamic soap opera'...

btw, still i got
an opportunity to download
this beautiful song by the same artist,

Yasin - Bak Sutera Di Helai Mawar

i thought u all
should listen to both.. :)

Wollongong, NSW...

[ 17th July 2009
Friday 9.00 am NSW times ]

We continued our roadtrip
by driving towards Wollongong, NSW..

Our target is to reach Kiama
in 3 hrs time...

we also managed to discover
a Little Blowhole coincidentally
situated near the housing area.

later,
we arrived at the Kiama Lighthouse
and its main attraction, Kiama Blowhole..

here we took some
fascinating group photos
at the surrounding areas
including formation
of 'nazis symbol' lookalike..

as for the blowhole,
we need to timing our pictures
exactly after the 'pop' sound
made by waves entering the big hole
below the seacliff..

afterwards,
we setting our GPS to Clifton
as to determine our car
will drive through the ending of
Grand Pacific Drive ( GPD ).

around 4 pm,
we parked our cars and
walk briefly to Sea Cliff Bridge,
the well-known structure
built along the pacific ocean cliff
and enjoy the tantalizing views.. :)

b4 the dawn,
we drove back to city of Sydney
and have a dinner at KFC Punchbowl, Randwick.

here certain menus
like original recipy chicken,twister & zinger burger
was approved to be consumed
due to halal slaughterings & food preparations
by " sydney muslim consumer association "...

to closing the very meaningful
and tiring day..

we watching Harry Porter & The Half-Blood Prince
at the Hoyts Cinemas near Lakemba ( i guess.. ).
i also have to declare my status
as the NSW university student
just to pay much cheaper ticket >>
11AUD compare to 14AUD..hehe

:: Skiing Experience ::

~Thursday 16 th July 2009 ~
Thredbo Snow Sports School, Snowy Mountains
Kosciuszko National Park, New South Wales

The day has come
to experience the skiing /
sandboarding adventure
here in winter 09
.... :)

we gathered in front of
our motel around 8 am
the temperature is -2 degree celcius
( reported by syamil, i rather believe it..)

so we travelled nearly 100 km
from cooma to arrive at snowy mountains
along with our rental equipments...

we had to pay
27 AUD per car
in order to enter the
kosciuszko national park...

the moment we arrived
at thredbo parking areas
around 10 am -
the snow start falling
selfishly..

to our dismay,
the tyre chain rented
to lock our car tyres
could not b applied...

b4 we start skiing
of course we took some pictures
near the Friday Flat MA...

just 15 minutes practising
our limited knowledges,
out of no where..
we decided to take a skiing / sandboarding lessons
from the instructor available here
at 59 AUD per person
excluding 3 of us directly from m'sia...uhuhu..

i was voluntarily assigned myself
to snap a few pictures
of these trainees
during their lesson
but also eavesdropping a lil bit
during this session
not far away....

so..
almost 1 1/2 hour later,
the trainees i mentioned earlier
look like a professional skiers
skiing down the hills at ease
by doing their v-shapes postures
nonchalantly...;)

i and k-roll
was taught by
these deliberate
professional skiers
(ronron, jufri,yoi ) afterwards..
but mastering a few tricks b4
collapsed in the turf everytime i tried..
during this enjoyable time
glad to mention : the snow falls permanently
from 2pm onwards...

lastly,
i persuaded k-roll
to ride a cable car
to a higher skiing areas
just to snap
a few beautiful pictures over there..

by switching our pakkas with
pakkas from apex & zara
coz they had the ski lesson passes
tagged in their pakkas....

we finalised
our skiing / sandboarding moments
around 4.30 pm..

but without toboggan adventures...:(
