OAKS Horizon Apartment Hotel, Adelaide, Australia

THE FLIGHT FROM KL TO ADELAIDE TOOK MORE THAN SEVEN HOURS and we reached Adelaide around 8am *time difference is 1 1/2 hours later in Adelaide*...  and reached our Oaks Horizon Hotel/Apartment before our appointed check-in time.  Since our apartment was not ready yet, we "parked" our luggage there and went for our breakfast in Rundermall area....  and so what did we end up eating???
Yes, Dim Sum!!
Right in the center of Adelaide shopping area!
Suits me REALLLL FINE!! 
Hongkong Dim Sum... not Malaysian.... so they are a bit different....
Ordered a bit of this and that.....
I left out the Giant Beef Balls!
Curry noodles opened by a Malaysian ex-lecturer, so I heard....
Not bad, I like it cos it is not spicy.....and lots of fillings...chunks of chicken...
I think it cost around $8Aud...
Self-service...
Walked and rested a bit after our meal.....
  Famous landmark at Runder Mall...
Soon... it was time to check in... at last..... 
 Our rented apartment view from the main door....
From the balcony door...
Master bedroom....
Attached bathroom...
This is for me and my girl....
With attached bathroom too....
 View from the highest floor...
From the 17th Floor view, Adelaide Conventre Center is just opposite...
Only setback about the apartment is this....
NO WIFI!
The only thing to "capture" the internet is to sit near the balcony each day....
Thanks to ACC, we managed to stay connected!!

    Aiyor!!!! Go all the way there to eat stuff we can get back home! Ah well!! As long as they're good - usually at these ang moh countries, they have these to "phian ang moh", bluff one only, nothing like the real thing and expensive (ah well...nothing is cheap there - best to buy raw food, cook in apartment, cheaper) and HUGE servings...but what you had looked ok, not that big at all.

Three Hours City Tour At Ensenada, Mexico

A THREE HOURS CITY TOUR when we embarked in Mexico on the second morning.   My sister booked the three hours city tour in Ensenada, Mexico, a van came to pick us up from the port.  Ensenada is the border of Mexico and it reminds me of Hatyai, a border town too between Malaysia and Thailand.  We were taken to a shopping area where we must haggle for the goods.  LOL.. Yes, something common in my own country... Anyway, we did not buy anything for ourselves... just a wooden handmade truck for my grandson which cost $8usd.   Nothing much to shout about on this three hours excursion, I was so sleepy on the way back to the ship that I dozed off and only awaken when we were driven through the town.  All in all, I just wanted to step onto Mexican soil and I would give this a miss if I were to go on this Mexico cruise again.  LOL... At the open area shopping walking towards the Blowhole... This is La Bufadora Blowhole, an amazing natural marine geyser that is capable of shooting water over 60 fe

The Good, The Bad But Not Ugly

MISSING AND NOW BACK IN ACTION...  I checked back my last post and it was 8 March last month and today is 19 April, less than two months only.  So what has been happening in my life?  Lots and lots... good news, bad news, sad news... all concerning health and I guess this is our life cycle as we live day by day.   My health is also not that "fantastic" during the past few months, but mine is a small rock compared to giant boulder which my best buddy is undergoing... I guess some of you know what is happening to her from her blog posts.  I was totally devastated when this happened to her, my tears couldn't help falling and my heart goes out to her.  I am ashamed to say that instead of me giving the comfort that she needs, I am the one that have been receiving her strength in times like this.  She might be crushed physically but she is not broken in her spiritual mind and soul.  One word... "Unbreakable!"  She is a shining example..... "What can death do to m

Exploring The Sea Cruise Royal Caribbean

CRUISING ALONG.... Once we deposited our bags in our cabins, we had our buffet meal at the Hammerjack restaurant and exactly at 4pm, we heard a loud Horn signal...  ITS TIME TO SAIL ALONG THE PACIFIC OCEAN! And while the ship started to sail, we humans started to walk and explore.... to familarize ourselves inside the ship....  Elevators on each side of the ship....  Making my mark....  On another side....  We walked along to check out our food outlets... This Promenade Cafe  had became our regular joint .... We like to sit there enjoying our hot drinks and desserts... Free flow of food day and night.... Passing through the bars to the casino... The casino will open only when the ship is in international waters...  At one of the jackpot machines... I wonder if they are real?? But they are only $1 bundles... Then we went up to the highest floor.... The swimming deck.... Taken against the sun.... Nice sunset in the evening.... The Happy Trio!
