April 25 adalah public holiday di Australia, sempena Anzac Day. In short, Anzac Day is a national day of remembrance in Australia and New Zealand, originally commemorated by both countries on April 25 every year to honour the members of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) who fought in Gallipoli during World War I. But now broadly commemorates all service man who served and died in military operations. Macam Hari Pahlawan kat Malaysia.
My initial plan/s was to joint the parade in Kings Park and then in the City (more to taking photos actually....) but due to some circumstances, scrapped off the plan in favour for some labworks... and also due to parking issues, awal2 lagi parking dah penuh. Nak cycling my bike dah lama pancit..... Alasan malas nak cycling!!!!! They began in early morning... 5ish in the morning dah dengar bunyi jet. Masa tu masih sedap sambung tidur sesudah solat Subuh.
Due to public holiday, Uni memang sunyi sepi kecuali bunyi birds chipping. Park Way yang biasanya penuh dengan kereta student lalu lalang, lengang macam baru dilanda tsunami. Siap boleh baring2 atas jalan... so took this opportunity to enjoy the view and took a deep breath, menikmati udara segar di pagi hari.
After abolished my initial plan for Anzac Day, spending my whole day in lab ditemani Mrs yang sama2 ada experiment. Tapi mood public holiday tu masih ada... tunggu kena petik saja. Petikan ajaib muncul tepat jam 1ish pm, Bro Shem asking either wanna joint him for Battleship movie. Well... who me to say NO!!!! Took an evening show since need to finish up my labwork and did my writing first.
Cinema pun agak lengang, ingatkan public holiday akan ada ramai orang yang datang watching movies. Mana semua Aussie and Aussie wannabe ni pergi agaknya. Our show on 6.20 pm, we arrived a little bit early and waited for Bro Shem and Sister Linda. While waiting, snap pics untuk dimuatkan dalam blog.
Nampak machine kat atas tu, untuk beli dan collect tickets. Lama betul kami tak keluar watching movies kat Carousel, dulu rasanya tak ada pun machine ni semua (we talking about 4 years ago....), or we never realised its just infront of our eyes? Tapi rasanya masih baru sebab ramai yang terkial2 nak guna.
Since we are poor student, we used Bro Shem and Sister Linda social service card untuk beli ticket, dapat juga harga konsesi. Normally we used our student ID untuk dapatkan student price tapi this year both of us tak validated lagi our student card... dah nak masuk pertengahan semester tapi card masih belum pergi validated!!!! Rugi kalau tak validated student card ni... sebab banyak tempat bagi discount untuk student such as cinemas, tourism spots dan juga uni cafe. Discount tak banyak tapi bolehlah..... dari tak ada langsung.
Before masuk, others bought some drinks and ice-cream dulu... but me memang dari dulu lagi tak akan minum kalau nak masuk cinema. Bukan apa, takut nak terkencing masa watching movie... malas nak keluar, nanti dah tak faham jalan cerita.
Sebab itu juga I will make sure my seat dekat dengan laluan. Just in case rasa nak terkucil, senang nak lari keluar tak perlu ber 'excuse me' dengan orang sebelah. Back to Battleship, plotnya biasa saja. Kisah bumi diserang Aliens!!!!! Began with satu mamat ni joint navy setelah dipaksa oleh brader dia, sebab dia ni ada sedikit masalah sosial... juga attitude problem tapi masih mampu graduated as young navy lieutenant!!! Hero le katakan...
Then at the same time a group of scientist tried to make contact with outerspace civilisation... by sending some signals using their brand new technologies. Unfortunately this signal was catched up by satu tamadun aliens ni yang sedang cari planet baru untuk didiami. They sending an expeditionary force consisted of 5 space ship untuk conquer bumi dan landing di lautan. Kebetulan hero and geng navy dia ada latihan di lautan berhampiran. Nak dipendekkan cerita kapal hero dengan kapal brader dia musnah kena serang aliens.
End up without ship, tapi dah namanya hero kena la fight balik. Sekali jumpa satu kapal ni... namanya USS Missouri, kapal lama peninggalan WWII... memang tahap museum. USS Missouri ni digunakan oleh emcek hero untuk tewaskan aliens kemudiannya... tak logik tapi dah movie namanya... terimalah seadanya.
Abis movie... rasa lapar dan kami mula risik mana2 kedai makan yang masih buka. Mana ada buka, public holiday.... akhirnya sampai rumah baru Mrs masak untuk dinner. Kemudian kena packing barang sebab esoknya ada trip ke Busselton-Margaret River-Augusta. Will update the recent journey by The 6 Stooges soon!!!!
