The ultimate journey

Dengan lafaz Bismillahirrahmanirrahim. .
Ingin saya meluahkan rasa bersyukur yang tak terhigga pada Allah s.w.t kerana telah memberi peluang kepada kami dengan menjemput kami insan lemah ini ke rumahmu ya Allah...
It is such a long wait .. tetapi penantiannya amat berbaloi!
Kami telah selamat melapor diri di Kelana Jaya hari ini. Proses alhamdulillah lancar. Pergerakan para jemaah menaiki bas ke KLIA dari Kelana Jaya berjalan sepertimana dirancang.
Terima kasih tak terhingga pada rakan sahabat dan keluarga yang bersusah payah menghantar kami baik dirumah mahupun di KJ. It really meant a lot to us. Syukran!
Insyaallah akan tiba di KLIA beberapa minit lagi. Konvoi sekurang-kurangnya 10 buah bas diiringi polis trafik begitu lancar. Syukur alhamdulillah.
Mohon semoga Allah permudahkan perjalanan kami dan mengurniakan Haji yang mabrur.
In shaa Allah

Vancouver part 2

Vancouver trip was pretty short for me. I have only couple of days there and the conference was so packed with programs day and night. But I enjoyed it ..as usual!
Besides vancouver city, I went to Grouse Montain and the capilano suspension bridge. The view was awesome. Not too far from downtown. Just catch your free shuttle at Canada Place. It will take on 30 minutes across the Lions gate bridge and wvallah.
The entrance fee for Grouse mountain varies. You can take the basic $39 or up to $229 if you want to have an 8 minutes helicopter experience. I just took the $55 which includes going up the mountain via cable cars and the wind turbine viewing deck. Very nice!!
For adventurous people you can try the zip line ($110) or even paragliding ($220++)
I did not have time to go to Whistler. It is a very famous ski resort and cost from $125 (day trip by bus). There is also a scenic view trip via classical mountain train which cost at $200++
I'll continue blogging about vancouver soon. See ya!!

Vancouver

Gosh . It's another great journey..

I am here at Vancouver, Canada BC.. lovely and lively city indeed!!!

The journey was too long but I manage not to have jet-lag. Yay!

From KL I flew 6 hours to Narita, Tokyo.. stop over for an hour and a half.. then continue for another 9 hours flight to LA. Transit for 5 hours in LA. Sadly, Terminal 2 is very small. Maybe 4 or 5 shops only. I was bored but luckily the VIP Lounge was quite awesome (well, not too awesome tho)... hihi...Finally from LA I took Air Canada, 3 hours flight and arrived Vancouver at 1030pm. The meal prepared by MAS and Air Canada was great!!

Vancouver airport was not too big.. taxi is available easily and it cost me around CAD50 to arrive to the hotel.

Had a great night rest because the Hotel provide me a suite!!!! Lucky me :) ;)

Nanie's wedding at Lumut, Perak

Yesterday we went up North to Lumut, Perak to attend cousin's wedding.. There are 3 routes to choose..

1. 210km via Kuala Selangor (3h40m)
2. 240km via Guthrie-PLUS-Bidor-Lumut (3h05m), toll RM15++
3. 270km via Rawang-PLUS-Bidor-Lumut (3h15m), toll ??
We choose the 2nd route. Nice and clear.
 
Arrived Venice Intan in about 3 hours. . And almost everyone was there. Mom and dad has arrived 2 days earlier and stay at Cik's house.
 
Later that evening we checked in at Best Western Hotel, Marina Pangkor Resort in Teluk Batik. A very nice hotel with a very good deal. A 1 bedroom suite cost only RM228/night with special government servant's rate. Online rate is about RM308/night.
 
We can't get a studio room with the rate of RM168/night as it was fully booked until year end.
The kids enjoyed the pool and of course after pool session we went to Lumut Waterfront.. has a very nice ABC party with mom and dad and all..Susi was also there!
 
On Sunday morning we went to the groom's house before we head back off to KL. Sayonara...
