The climb, the brave-hearted duo and the chickens ^____^

I malas nak tayang gambar food tonite.

I nak sambung balik cerita we all pergi jalan2 down South itu hari (iye you, tak habis lagi ceritanya, hahaha.).

On the way nak balik tu, we all singgah Manjimup, a timber town.

And kat Manjimup ni ada Diamond Tree lookout.

Basically, on top of this really tall tree, they put up a wooden lookout for people who are brave enough to have gorgeous view of the surrounding vista.

And teka lah sape yang berani naik sampai the tree top?

It was a 51 metre climb up this steel ladder yang takde net dibawahnya ya!

Memang not for the faint hearted!

Masa sebelum panjat pokok, ambik gambar buat kenang2 an to show how tall the Karri tree was.

And you can see from below, the first post where people can rest for a while before climbing even higher.

kena naik dua orang at a time sebab once you reached the top, memang tak cukup tempat.

Miss 8 looked so happy to be climbing up, takde sikit pun perasaan nervous or scared.

Masa ni dah quite tinggi jugak lah diaorang panjat.

You rasa scary giler tak? Without any netting whatsoever to catch us if we slipped……

And then bandingkan pulak rupa dia dengan rupa Miss 12 and I ye…

Let’s just say, that was the highest we both climbed sebab both fo us were so scared to climb any higher, muahahahahaha…..

(MIss 12 lagi lah, cuma berani panjat about 2 metres off the ground aje, hahahaha).

I couldn’t even get to the first post sebab seriau giler bila tengah panjat tu and terpandang bawah!

Macam2 I bayangkan masa tu, hikhikhikhik…..So, kelam kabut lah I turun bawah balik very very selowly…. .

So, Miss 12 adalah jugak kawan sama2 penakut, hahahahahaha…..

And the view from the top taken by The Other Half..

Memang lah cantik but nak sampai ke atas tu yang siksa nya, hehehehe…..

When both of them were going down, I took a photo of Miss 8 looking so relaxed still as though the climb was no big deal for her.

Siap boleh keluarkan kepala lagi tu in front of the rung.

And after they’ve got down, she got so many praises from us for being so brave…

And The Other Half took me aside and said, “I was scared shitless climbing up there. I kept on imagining what could happen to her if she slipped! I really wanted to climb back down again but your daughter didn’t want to so I had to keep on going for her sake!”

Wahkahkahkahkah, laki bini sama2 penakut.

Actually, we all tak lah penakut sangat but our daya imaginasi terlalu tinggi so macam2 yang we all bayangkan of what could happen.

I guess Miss 8 masih naive so she didn’t think or imagine the risks involved tu yang dia boleh relax aje panjat pokok tu.

But among us, Miss 8 yang paling adventurous nak try segala nya, hehehe.

Summer Holiday Part 2

I was so happy sepanjang2 we all kat that remote place, we didn’t see a single snake!

But mata I sentiasa melilau looking for that creature lah especially masa meredah hutan belukar nak pergi ke this fishing place.

I suka memancing but I would rather do it at a place like on a jetty ke, atas jambatan ke, tepi sungai yang takde semak samun ke, kat tepi wharf ke…. Bukannya kat tepi sungai dalam hutan, hikhikhik…

But we did see the friendly emus and a few kangaroos!

Everytime I berdiri basuh pinggan tepi sink tu, one of the emus will come up to the windows ‘begging’ for food.

When we were having meals on the balcony, they would come to have a look…

Nasib baik diaorang tak pandai pajat tangga ketuk pintu nak masuk rumah kan, hahaha…

The Other Half says they are not that pretty looking but Miss 8 kata they are so cute, heeee….

Masa baru sampai that house pun, siap the emu buat welcoming committee lagi, hahaha

 

“Hellloooooo Cik Kiah! Tengah buat apa tu Cik Kiah? Kalau ada makanan dinner lebih2 tu, pass pass kan lah ke I ni eh!”

It gave me a fright the first time the emu came up to the window. Kalau muka ala2 George Clooney, ok lah jugak kan!

Masa ni we were having pancakes for breakfast out on the balcony, tanpa malu2 laju aje emu ni datnag bertandang. Suka lah budak2 dua orang tu. Ada 4 ekor emus at that time.

Trying to hand feed them.

Ini budak ada sikiiiiiit penakut, heeeee….

Binatang lain tak sempat nak ambik gambar pulaknya…

But we did see loads of sheep, horses, cows and a few camels along the way there .

Some of the cattle we saw.

Summer Holiday Part 1

We’ve arrived safely back at home this afternoon, Alhamdulillah.

But I am feeling so exhausted sebab tak cukup tidur.

The first night tak tidur sgt sebab first night on a strange bed so couldnt get comfortable and also the ‘weird’ nature sounds around the house from night to morning weren’t helping either.

The second night tak cukup tidur sebab selepas dinner, The Other Half and I melantak 1litre of pure coffee creme ice cream sebab nak kena habiskan before we all balik pagi tadi.

(Dah mengantuk tapi the brains still ligat berfikir from the caffeine and also ligat berfikir mcm mana lah nak get rid of the fat from the ice cream tu, hikhikhik…)

And then sampai rumah seperti biasa after a holiday, kena buat laundry. But I only did 1 load since it’s weekend tomorrow and the weather is predicted to be sunny the next few days, baik lah I buat laundry sambil lenggang kangkung esok2 aje kan, tak payah nak rush buat today .

We went to a place about 320kms southwest from Perth.

The place we stayed for 3d2n, Nyamup village (not nyamuk but Nyamup even though banyak jugak nyamuk kat Nyamup ni ).

Pemandangan masa nak masuk ke village tu.

Our cabin.

It was a remote village where you can’t drink the tap water(you either have to use the rainwater or bring our own water supply for drinking and cooking) and you need a big satellite dish to get TV reception, hehehe. But ada aircond, ada hot water system and also ada indoor toilet (thank goodness for that!). We thought we were going to get a cabin with an outdoor toilet.

We didn’t do anything much apart from going for bushwalks, lounging at the cabin and trying to fish for marrons. It was definitely very trying indeed!

I didn’t know what a marron was supposed to look like and where you can find them but obviously The Other Half knew about them and was very excited to go looking for them at the dam/river.

But sekor marron pun we all tak jumpa, heeee (not that I know what to do with it if we find it ).

On the way to look for marrons and fish.

Barang2 yang kena ada kalau nak pergi memancing .

Digging for worms for the baits. They didn’t mind doing it. I will only go near worms if I really have to.

Dua orang ni aje yang beria2 nak pergi fishing. Miss 8 and I lagi suka duduk kat cabin in the cool airconditioned room.

waiting and waiting and waiting…..

We all pun kenalah jugak waiting and waiting and waiting kan. (You know how they say families who do things together stay together, hakhakhak.)

Muka dia ceria sungguh sebab dia yang over excited nak memancing ni, heeee…..

The next day pun pi mancing jugak but Miss 8 and I tak larat nak stay lama2 cos it wasn’t fun and it was in the middle of a jungle so we all balik cabin dulu and let the others memancing to their hearts content.

Punyalah boring we all duk menunggu, I main games and Miss 8 buat crossword puzzles, hahahaha…

Dah bosan buat crossword puzzles, main panjat2 pokok pulak.

And then in the afternoon, we went for a walk to try and find mobile phone reception stretch our legs. It was really quiet because we didn’t see any single person on our walk tu.

And we were so happy to see the bars on our phones after 30 minutes of walking, hahahaha.

(gaya aje lebih masa ni, hehehe).

Dapat lah I lepas gian tengok blog and FB sekejap and dapatlah The Other Half check his emails sekejap. Jadi lah kan, hehehehe….

Esok I sambung lagi ye….
