Queensland Australia Travel HotSpot

Posted by danielctw On December - 24 - 2007

Snorkeling in Great Barrier Reef Yes, it’s gonna be autumn in Australia after the summer. It’s going to be here sooner or later. So time for me to save money and this time instead of visiting Perth once again, how about staying in one of the Gold Coast Hotels in Gold Coast, Queensland? Yes, after all the hype about Gold Coast that I heard from my friends, I do wished to go there. Well, with all the beach, girls (heee..), party, it’s bound to be happening. Maybe how about when it’s approaching the end of summer!

Well, of course it isn’t necessary to visit just Gold Coast, why not try Noosa? Noosa?? Well located in south east Queensland lies the Sunshine Coast. Yes, seaside once again. With an activity like kayaking, now it’s a great family trip. Just find a stay in one of the Noosa Hotels available.

Bikini BeachBeing a scuba diver, if one haven’t heard about the Great Barrier Reef, well, yes, it’s situated in Australia. But where is it? Just stay on at any Cairns Hotels and ask the locals there. Well, with this great underwater park available for exploration, it’s every leisure diver’s dream to dive about. But if you’re not a ‘sea’ person, then have some fun at the ancient Daintree Forest, with some of the oldest and rarest flora on the planet. Well, it’s been said to exist during the times of the dinosaur.

Sceneries of the place in Queensland can be look at HERE. :)

In short, staying in Australia and getting Hotels in Australia is easy and cheap unlike the previous years. Not to mention traveling around Australia is easier with car rentals widely available. But if one decided to go offroad to The Great Outback, well make sure to refer to locals there and also to inform any locals that you’re traveling there. This is a precaution in case of a vehicle breakdown.

To require more help on driving in Australia, refer to the driving guidelines HERE

Word of caution : DO NOT walk on foot if your vehicle breaks down.

ShoutOut Penang 1

Posted by danielctw On December - 22 - 2007

Yes, finally… the moment some of you have been waiting for. My trip to Penang Island once again, this time going up on 14th December 2007. Yes, I took leave from work to go up to Penang Island, The Pearl of The Orient. Well, now who joined me? Yes, it’s Firewire, Aaron. Hahaha…

Driving to Penang

Wooo.. look at the car. Guess who’s the driver?? No clues?? Then just look at the next picture and you will know who’s the driver!! Of course I am the one sitting at the back with lotsa space for my long legs HAHAHA!!

The Eye Pose

Haha… this clue is so obvious. If you really don’t know who this is still, you should start to get to know the Shouters at PenangPenang.com. Well, we all have our uniqueness, like the Eye, Poot Poot, sand eating, mish mor mor, etc and also not forgetting the one and only Takeshi Kaneshiro. Hehehehe…

Yes, the journey started at 10am and we were caught in a short traffic on the way up. So with no breakfast at all, we just had to stop somewhere for breakfast. Mind you the time is now 12pm LOL… What did we get to eat then??

Dunkin Donuts

Too hungry, anything goes. It’s neither J. Co or Big Apple but anything goes. Well, bought a dozen and shared between 3 guys. Haha.. I think it’s perhap the wrong time to eat the so called Brunch (Breakfast + Lunch)

Well, then let’s carry on the journey, but but but…. nature has it’s way of telling us that it’s a hot day and rain has to come visit.

Rain Rain Rain

Rain like cow and chicken. Must be The Sand Eating Monster come haunting the sky and thus drip all the saliva on the windscreen. Ehh… just because it’s raining, the road is slippery but the driver doesn’t think so. Cool down driver, don’t drive too fast.

But time has reach 130pm and this time we wanted to be different. So we ordered ‘CHICKEN‘ from IPOH. HAHAHA!!!

Ipoh White Chicken

Ipoh Taugeh

Hungry eh??? All this happened before we even reached Penang, which the chicken at IPOH town. To catch a glimpse of Penang, visit my other posts here on Penang. I guessed I need to modify my blog template once more. Cause there are certain codes need modying!!

PhotoHunt 89 Light

Posted by danielctw On December - 22 - 2007

Photo Hunter

Look for my other photo hunts photo above!

I was missing from Photo Hunt last week due to me going up north to Penang Island. So I am back again this week.

This weekend’s theme is really vague. It can be light as in the light from the lamp, but I think i go for the meaning of light as in light weight. Well, so what happens if one doesn’t carry things light.

Here I got someone to carry something to show what it’s like to be not light.

Heavy Weights

But what I really thought of is if I use the simple camera and placement of fingers and human I can make something appear light. Yes, though maybe I think I failed in convincing people it is so, but then…. ahhhh.. just get on with it. Here’s mine for this week.

Light Head

The Giant Hand so called carries the light head. :P ps: Sorry ya Wendy :P

RSS Readers Easy

Posted by danielctw On December - 21 - 2007

Yes, it’s time to teach some stuffs. Yes, some of you who aren’t that technical might find this useful. Well, now I have been using RSS reader to read other blog entries. Though if I find the entry amusing and something which I can add, I will go comment.

What is RSS Reader?

Have you heard of google reader. Yes, you can use Google Reader to read people’s blog RSS. In other words, you can see the posts in that reader. One good thing too, is that you can keep track on which blog has been updated. Yes, a RSS reader might sound like a very good thing. But all things like this has it’s flaw.

So if you think this post has helped you a lot, then come subscribe to my RSS feed. It not only helps in readability issues but I can say the most important is to know whose blog has been updated.

What are the disadvantages?

We all know in the blog zone and space, we build on hits and links and also visits by other bloggers and readers who like visiting your site. If you think that your blog has got what it takes to be visited frequently, I am sure people either come visit regularly almost everyday or they can even subscribe to your RSS feeds.

Yes, the problem is when people rely too much on RSS readers that they tend to neglect the blogger involved and forget to comment. This also prevents MyBlogLog to keep tracking who came to the blog. So if you really want to use RSS readers, use it to keep track on whose blog was updated instead of reading right through the reader. It not only helps you let the blogger aware that you’re on their site but also helps the other party to generate traffic. Well, though if someone were to subscribe to your feeds, your site has got what it takes to be up there.

I don’t want Google Reader!! Any other RSS Readers??

Yes, there are plenty out there. Yes, I also do use bloglines last time as my Reader. All you need to do is type RSS readers on Google.com and you can find tonnes of them. So if you finally understand all there is to a RSS reader, you can start practicing by subscribing to my feed using this BIG BIG button. :P

Quiet Office

Posted by danielctw On December - 21 - 2007

Yes it’s snowing finally in this site. If you find it annoying, I will change it to a smaller picture, or rather just stick it on till after Christmas. :P

—————————————————————————————————————-
Yes, today is very darn quiet in the office. Is like I can hear the sound of my keyboard tapping very loudly. Yes, I think others can also hear it. Weird, today doesn’t feel like any office, it’s too quiet. Well, what to do when there was a public holiday just yesterday and people are taking advantage of the only Friday to take their leaves, MC and also emergency leaves. Hehehe…

Well, guess I will be in this quiet office for quite some time. That’s because Tuesday is a public holiday too as it’s Christmas so Monday is bound to be many people not in the office too. Kinda strange if you asked me. Why is this place quiet? Why is it weird? I really don’t know what to say. Should I be in denial that now there’s no ShoutOut box for me to shout??

WHAT?? No Shout?? Yes, they’ve banned the ShoutOut site. Which I felt that it’s not going to be so right with me. No ShoutOut for me and guessed I have to go spam at people’s cbox instead. Dang… where’s the freedom of the Internet. If they start banning every site, I think I am so gonna be pissed off.

ps : Sorry have to delay my Penang post as I’ve been doing some cleaning at the house and thus also with other complications, no time to get the photos out from my camera. Sorry ya…
