hehe....short blog from melbourne. Been here for 4 days and it's been marvellous....i'm glad i'm actually having my fast here in the midst of lovely spring time.
Today is the Chemeca2007 conference final day. And later in the midnite (thats thursday early morning) i'll be flying back to KL.
What A PLUSH hotel, and what lovely atmosphere here....definitely will think of coming back to melbourne. Friendly people too. And plenty of chinese....doesnt matter where is their country of origin (includes malaysia) but the chinatown is definitely one of the significant landmark in the heart of the city.
First time down under and it sure is far from disappointing. Yupp, i am like down under the planet earth....funny huh?

Have a nice time there..!!
I was working there 1997-1998, pi lah jenjalan kat St Kilda Beach, chantekkk tau.
Salam Ija,
I did and it made me sad last night when i was in the flight on the runaway a few mins before it took off. But it all dwells on me that having a jolly good holiday on my own, meeting and networking with quite a few smart academicians and professional engineers (and some few entrepenuers) around will not happen if i wasnt in the right mood and having the right attitude.
And i was glad I attended this conference all the way down under!
Makji yang rawk,
Did u? Well, the conference schedule was kinda packed from morning at 8.30am till 6pm. But i managed to get out whenever i could esp during those lunch hours and not so relevant topic sessions to just get on those free old city tramlink or just walked around getting something for iftar or shopping for some souvenirs. And due to that schedule constraints i didnt make it to those beaches.
But i enjoyed every moment i spent there even if it has to be a brief walk down the treasury park on a sunny spring afternoon snapping pictures on my own and met some thai tourists who then took like 3-4 pics of me. Funny though, lotta people esp during the conference thought i am still a student? Tak cokop professional ke i nih?
I hope you tried the famous kebab in Alasha in Brunswick!
Looking forward to read more about your Melbourne trip in your future entries.
Ardy,
Nope, i didnt get that chance as my schedule was kinda packed. But thanks for the recommendation. Who knows, whenever i get another chance to go there, i might search for that kebab!
NJ ,
To be honest with u, i think i am backlogged with some juicy stories this september only! but how i wish this blog cud be made like youtube but without the need to make a video presentation. Enuf with voice recording and voila! i could save the "hassle" of writing them down....It kinda took me a bit more energy to write rather than to speak but writing gives me more space to pour out the emo part in a more "articulate way" not that i am that articulate...
But yea, i hope i will do that soon... :-) thanks for your genuine interest!
Woit, how come no photos of it there meh, especially the PLUSH hotel? Post some laaa...
abdun ikan,
Sabar....i will do that ok....actually i was thinking of putting up my cameron highlands (7-9 sept trip) photos 1st but i got a little bit excited lak on melbourne trip just coz i managed to curi masa blogging from there using one of the pcs in the middle of the conference's exhibition area.
Yupp, indeed PLUSH: a deluxe kingsize single room....one kingsize single bed for me and only me....sgt la selesa golek kiri kanan....
managed to meet up with hunky aussies tak? :)
anyway, cepat ler post the photos!
Ryzah,
Yupp there were some goodlooking dudes i met up and spoke to some of them....
OK, ma'am, will do that inshallah...although no beach photos or anything like that...
U should go to Oz and NZ...currency exchange not too high (paling2 pon times 3) and yet, u still get the UK/european feelings...and some hunky maoris too...
I am glad to know that you enjoyed your trip down under.I look forward to be there next year during the Project Management World Congress.
Pak Adib,
It was a trip beyond my expectation....u know la i used to hear people getting racist remarks there, but alhamdulillah all that never took place. I pon takde la place much of expectation either as i dont really prejudge much, but alhamdulillah, everything's turned out on the positive side for me, even fasting there was very relaxing.
U r looking forward to ur usual activity at the victoria market eh :-D
