Vitamin A, Please Bring me to A u s t r a l i a

Last two weeks I was really curious to join a 'simple' competition. Actually I have tried many of competition and quizzes that the winner would get the return economy ticket to reach a country. I was just failed. failed and failed.. But I will never give up until the failures have gotten bored of me and left me. Yes! Thats me! Ill do the whole thing, anything that I can do to pursue my dreams. Back to the 'crazy little' competition, I was failed for SQ or SIA (Singapore Airlines) competition, it was last month. It was a big prize 'return ticket from Jakarta-Singapore-Frankfurt-NYC' Thats crazy right. Even I have been Singapore and Frankfurt, but I never been NYC (I do believe someday I will step of my foot in NYC. Aamiin

NY Times, I never been there.
But someday I will. Definitely!

Then, last year, i had a fabulous trip plan 'Macau-Hongkong-Shenzhen' but again. Even I had the aircraft ticket and Chinese visa already but. I just canceled that. I had many trouble of my life then with many of consideration i canceled. Ika my friend maybe had so much regret of myself. But i had no choice. It was best choice to cancel my trip plan. So, my HKG (Hongkong) was nothing. I didnt go anywhere. Stayed in Depok and continued my lifetime. Ika was really disappointed of me, but again I did apologize for this worst.

I never be tired to convince Ika that, she would get better and better than only our trip. Alhamdulillah she got a big 'Beijing' with a scholarship as well from Ministry of Education to support her conference program in Beijing last year. Me too.. Even I felt so disappointed of my self, but again and again..

Sometimes we have to let something go to get something else better...

I got New Zealand. I left "Macau-HKG-Shenzhen" and got New Zealand it was such a big chance.I can come to "Macau-HKG-Shenzhen" anytime if I have money, but New Zealand. Thats so far away and more expensive, hard to get its visa as well. Then I thought God was just fair. Left something to get something better.

So, I didnt come to HKG..
You know, again I tried to join a competition 'crazy simple stupid' thing that I called 'abroad quiz' haha.. I joined to come Hongkong as well. Hope I can come to HKG this May 2012 as a winner of that quiz.

I never been HKG, but sure I will come there pretty soon:))

Yes, hope i can be a winner of that 'abroad quiz'..

Well..
the last thing is A u s t r a l i a..

Im still curious to come Australia. Thats crazy great country for me. I just canceled my A380 Emirates Airlines without refund as well w/ the route of AKL (Auckland) to SYD (Sydney) why? that was because I didnt have Australian Visa and  I had transit at the Sydney Airport for more than 8 hours. Dear readers, you have to know something IMPORTANT..

SYDNEY AIRPORT OR KINGSFORD AIRPORT WILL BE CLOSED AT 11 PM..!!!

And..

THE MAXIMUM TRANSIT FOR INDONESIA PASSPORT HOLDER, ONLY 8 HOURS!!

So, if have a connecting flight to either Jakarta or Bali from Sydney then you dont have Australia Visa, you can transit in Sydney. The Airlines counter will never give you boarding pass or even only check in. Thats BAD.. But thats the reality. Thats the Australia "Good terrible" regulation. In the other side, i was really surprised and thought that Australia's regulation is really great and cool..! But I lost my A380..:(( and had to stay at Auckland Airport a night, change the flight to get our connecting flight to Jakarta, and booked a new expensive Qantas to reach Sydney..:((

Then, last week I just found an abroad quiz that the prize will get return ticket to Sydney and Brisbane. Oh My Goodness, please please give that chance for me. Please God, I really wanna go.. *May the universe pray for me to get that chance.. Aamiinn
