For thosetravel noobies out there, don't worry! Me and Diana accomplished it in a few hours and indubitably there’s bound to be
loopholes. Just do it okay! ;)
So here's the sequence and tools for making your own itinerary: (I've provided links as well, just click the underline title)
I was complaining on the last holiday I went which was last raya ago.
So I planned to go to Bangkok Thailand but due to the coup that happened recently on may.
Maybe I have to cancel that plan.
-Boracay, Philiphines. Cliff jump! and the view is spectacular!
-Jeju Island-Seoul-Nami Island, Korea.
I even plan to take an international driving license promotion one way 340... please make it spring. nak sangat ambik gambar dgn cherry blossom. nk jejalan ambik scenery.
-Mabul and Sipadan
-Mount Bromo, Jogja, Lombok, Bali
Rinjani National Park
so basically im researching to kill time while im chambering and to have a goal to look forward.
Honestly, I don't read local books.
Except for Lawak Kampus.
I have all of them including the special edition.
I've always wanted to support the local scene,
but couldn't due to the local market only caters to love genre.
Adam dan Hawa, Playboy itu Suamiku, Suamiku Autistik, to name a few.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with that.
Yes,
I've heard Ramlee Awang Murshid does thriller,
but I'm not a fan of that genre as well.
KL NOIR RED
How and Why?
KL Noir Red was in the top 10 bestsellers for local in MPH.
Why not?
There are 16 short stories.
My top 3 would be:
1)The Runner
About a high school girl who wanted to make quick money by working part time at an internet cafe.
However, she succumbed to the temptation of making fast money by selling forbidden drugs.
2)Asian Angel
A popular female singer who had attacked his husband's mistress with her Chanel handbag.
But is she?
Will it be too late before the truth is unfold?
3)The Machete and Me
Saka.
The heroin had inherited saka which will eventually destroy her.
In a nutshell,
I'm crazy for other KL NOIR series ;)
Totally worth your money.
It's not that expensive, onlyRM19.00
Anyway,
let's support our local production.
You can follow their production at instagram: @bukufixi
Hehe boleh tak nak pilih baju apa nak jumpa afgan pun boleh pening :p Yelah, I have to look my best macam nak pergi dating jugak kan. Dating dengan kekasih hati ku Afgan. Okay I better stop myself dari merepek haha So last month I did some shopping particularly for my afgan date. Siap beli baju couple outfit with my sis ibah hehe so I was down to 2 choices.
sweet lady orrocker chic
I WhatsApp-ed a lot of people to ask for opinions. Haha sorry and thank you :p All voted for sweet lady haha (very rare) I'm more of a tomboyish btw.
So I wore navy blouse skirt, white flowery top and flower pattern scarf with a hint of orange.
After work
Zoom zoom as fast as I can from work at 5.30 pm. Arrived at home, took a quick shower and changed to my outfit. I even barged into the house and half screamed "Aimannnn hantar kak isz to lrt!". Rupanya ada kawan aiman around 4 people in the living room. No time to be embarrassed! >.< Since diana is waiting for me at Ampang Park LRT station. I end up driving myself to the LRT. I even missed a station because I was too short amidst a lot of tall people to see the Ampang Park signboard. Finally, I arrived at 6.30 pm. Sorry dee you had to wait for an hour >. <
Then we straight ahead went to Istana Budaya, which was nearby. Luckily, the traffic was light. We had our lunch at the canteen because Dee and I was hungry as hell sebab tak makan nak rushing punya pasal. The nasi lemak there were quite good. Tak ada selera nak makan sebab excited nak jumpa afgan :p Me and Dee ran out of topic nak borak and gossip sebab dari A sampai Z pasal Afgan dah khatam haha We went to the surau at 7.45 pm for solat maghrib. The surau was clean and comfy :) You shouldn't have any worries about performing your prayers here.
ootd and tickets
Went in the auditorium around 8.30 pm. Was waiting anxiously but they announced they were going to start late. It started at 9.15 pm Penantian itu satu penyiksaan :(
Afgan where are you? hehe
We are dying for you to come out!
dibs, anaz and sab
Dee setiap kali ada orang dekat backstage je cakap die afgan. Haha then I was like dee ko tu rabun lah. haha All I can see is uncle botak zzzzzz Then katakan tidakmusic started playing. Me and the audiences Sreammmmed!!!! He said What's up Malaysia and the crowd went wild (again).
Oh myyy he's so handsome in real life ❤❤
I analyzed everything about him haha
That's what girls do, from head to toe :p
Perfect Dimples check!
Perfect Specs check!
Perfect Hair check!
A bit of beard below and few pinkish pimple awwww
Who knew pimples could be so cute! haha
Great teeth even if it's not I-wore-braces-perfect-teeth ommooooo ..
Much much much better in real life!
katakan tidak
Actually, katakan tidak is not one of my favourite song but after seeing him singing it live, I totally love it. It's such a groovy song. ~~Woohhoo Then he remix it with Daft Punk: Get Lucky. Oh yeah I have to add that we were sitting in front of a speaker. Kuat gila okayyyy boleh jadi separuh pekak haha tapi inilah pengorbanan duduk depan stage haha Yang penting Afgan di depan mata! hahaha
Sebelah je uoolsss haha
Entah
He was sitting at the stairs next to me and Dee!!! haha
My god, boleh nampak dimples die *dies*
I managed to make a small heart to him :p when we made eye contact haha
Tak sempat nak buat wink wink ;p
Even Diana yang dekat sebelah pun excited sebab afgan buat eye contact time nyanyi haha
Sebelum nyanyi lagu Jodoh Pasti Bertemu, Afgan tanya "Siapa yang single?" haha semua menjerit mengaku single. Ambooiii :p My 2nd favourite song! ;) ❤
Enjoying ourselves
;)
I was determined to take a selca.
I have been to Bahayanya Wanita theater in Istana Budaya before, and sat at the same seat which is the most strategic since they will walk through there more often than the left side. I was holding my phone ready for action anytime. haha crazy woman I know. I knew my chances were 70% You know when you stop at the traffic light you put your gear to neutral and pull your hand brake, yeah I was just holding on to the pedal brake because if I see a green light I would accelerate! haha
He offered me/audiences to go onstage while looking at me (forgive my perasanness) so I pecut bangun and then I thought it was a mistake, so I almost sat back and then he called me back up (using hand gesture) hohoho apalagi, terus pecut naik tangga naik stage haha (suka lettew)
He gave his mic for me to sing but I was too starstruck I can't recall the song at all! Blank betul! I asked him what song is it (music had started) hahaha I asked him "lagu apa ini?" tibe-tibe keluar slang indon haha He just shook his head and said lagu inilah, asking me to sing! omg so cheeky and I could see his dimples hahahahha rasa mcm nak cubit je pipi die hahaha
It felt like I was foreverrrrr onstage andwhy am I singing?
I just want to focus on his face haha suara katak okayyy People paid money to hear Afgan sing, not some radom girl. I tried to pass the mic to him but he just let me carry on singing Bukan cinta biasa T_____T
Without wasting any time, I took out my phone to fulfill my mission: selfie with afgan
Sumpah tak nak keluar dari Istana Budaya selagi tak dapat selfie haha
Me being the usual shortie, since my right hand was holding the mic (can anyone tell me why am I singing again) and my left hand holding my phone so I struggled to get a full picture.
He took the phone and voilaa I got my epic selfie hahaha
yes!
he made that face and I just followed him ;)
he's so cute kan haha
Then he took the mic back (thank god!), took my hand and serenade to me and I was singing along while looking at his eyes *cairrrrrrr* *meltingggg* I was smiling 50cm wide hahaha I guess I was that happy! kalau boleh nak senyum sampai 80cm haha
Then he kinda showed the crowd that I was good or something, so I just followed him and wave at the crowd :p Stage fright? haha hell no! I don't even know what I was doing. He did various hand gesture so that I can sing along with him. Meanwhile, I really wanted to do something for him so I made a love hand shape!
~saranghaeyoooo!! ;) ahahaha I couldn't let go of the chance to tell I love/crazy/obsess him haha Of course Afgan send back his love! :p haha
Don't ask me how much I repeat this vid :p
Thanks Diana for reminding dibs to take the video and thanks dibs for taking the vid!
I love you guys so much! haha
POST-AFGAN-DEPRESSION
While waiting for my sis and her friends, a girl in black came and said I was lucky to be onstage haha yeah I know ;) Menyesal tak bawa dslr kalau tak boleh dapat high quality picture since I remembered Istana Budaya used to be strict but maybe not for concert. Diana cakap bersyukurlah dengan apa yang ada. Baik cikgu! haha
Asap keluar Istana Budaya I instagrammed my selfie :p Diana and Ibah tolong came up with the most suitable caption, since I don't express myself too well. Sebagai perempuan wajib untuk recap semula apa yang terjadi dan salah satu nya adalah watching the video in the car and menjerit macam orang gila.
This is especially dedicated to Afgan from my favourite song, Panah Asmara:
Sungguh aku telah tergoda saat kau dekat denganku
Hanya kau yang membuatku begini
Melepas panah asmara
Thanks for reading!
I ❤ you Afgan!
;) ps: I went crazy sampai boleh lupa kereta tinggal dekat lrt station hahaha (Diana send me back home, thanks!)
Super Excited to meet my boyfriend *batuk batuk
countdown 4 days to meet Afgan
Setelah sekian lama menunggu, sebab sebelum ni Afgan pernah buat konsert di Indonesia dan Singapura, dan akhirnya ada juga konsert di Malaysia! Tahu tak dah tunggu berapa lama untuk konsert di Malaysia, actually nak pergi dah yang konsert di Singapura tapi sebab ada finals so tak jadi pergi.
~Menari panda~~
My seating place? Rahsiaaaa haha nanti kantoi la plak price tiket :p
Sejak bila minat die? I think zaman terima kasih cinta lagi
Dia memang ideal guy- specs, intelligent, shy, creative, emotional/deep thinker
yes
masa zaman rambut messy
all akward and shy
another point yg penting, baju apa nak pakai haha me and my sis nak pakai couple clothing. saje gedik. Still x leh decide our tiger print sweater or more girlish blouse
Jealous betul orang yang pergi wedding Zarema dapat tengok Afgan free T_____T
Gua kena bayar guna gaji huhu entah la BR1M kene reject, kalau tak, boleh la cover jugak *sob sob
I guess it's not the trend anymore, unlike half a decade ago. Even, I am super duper lazy to update. But I guess I don't have to think too much of what to write anymore since no one is reading my blog anymore.
What have I been doing lately? I am trying my hands on sewing. haha. I think I am better in cooking than in sewing. With cooking you just follow the recipe and go with the feels, and if something goes wrong you can always repair it.
That's not the case with sewing. My first skirt was a horror because I measured cukup-cukup muat so tak lepas my hip -_____-"
I've been trying my hand to make maxi skirt :) I've already worked hard on it for 2 days. It's either I continue tonight or this friday which is public holiday (Thaipusam).
Berangan list nak jahit
Skirt, skirt, skirt
Kimono cardigan
Long sleeve tee, specifically want an exo symbol in the front middle hehe ^-^V
Maxi dress
okay, dah kekeringan idea nie. So better stop sebelum malas and sampai bila post nie dalam draft.
Setelah 5 tahun menulis blog di dalam bahasa inggeris, rasanya sudah tiba masa untuk bertukar angin pula.
Actually ini adalah kali kedua graduasi bagi saya. So, memang macam malas and tak se-excited macam yang first. Kalau yang first dah siap pakai baju convo dalam kereta, make up bagai and pin kan topi dengan kemas.
Di UiTM, program fakulti undang-undang adalah berbeza dari universiti yang lain. Di mana, program kami mempunyai Bachelor of Legal Studies selama 3 tahun dan Bachelor of Law selama 1 tahun. Oleh itu, kami akan grad 2 kali bagi setiap program. Graduasi yg pertama bukan main excited, tak boleh bla siap ada photoshoot kat putrajaya hew hew hew
Berbeza pula untuk graduasi yang ke dua
Baju pun pilih malam sebelum. make up pun tak pakai.
Siap cakap dekat mama tak perlu beli bunga, tapi tetap excited juga bila mama and cik endek datang bagi bunga hehe Thank you! :)

:)
thanks for the flower mama n cik endek
Sebenarnya, still tengah fikir nak ambik syariah ke tak selama setahun.
tapi bila dah start kerja ni macam malas nak belajar. hurrmmm...
kalau sambung maksudnye graduasi yang ke-3 ehehehe
Before that, for those who are not familiar with the legal profession, I will explain it. After graduating with my Bachelors in Law which is a professional degree, I have to undergo 9 months of pupillage to be admitted to the bar.
We don't get paid since it is not a job because you are actually a student learning at firm. You are in a learning process for 9 months with your master from the firm. Understand? This is because many people could not differentiate between chambering student and lawyer. We have not yet become lawyer.
FYI, for different state, the range of allowance is different. Kuala Lumpur has the highest rate at RM1500-1800 per month while others such as Shah Alam at RM800-1000 and Kedah at RM500. This is inclusive of the filing and various fees that we have to do within that period time. We have to apply to court, attend talks, compulsory legal aids and many more.
I did 4 days at a firm at Kuala Lumpur but the cost was too high for me who was residing in Petaling Jaya. Then I changed to a firm in PJ, nearer to home.
I accept the fact that you are a student with an allowance and I have no complaints.
But I am so jelly (slang for jealous) with my friends who has a real job! :(
Especially those who travels a lot!
My aunt who went to Bangkok -> Penang -> Bali -> Laos
My friend who went to Bali for one week holiday.
~wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Don't even mention about shopping. It will just make me more depressed! :(
Me No Shopping! :(
I want a real job with a real pay *sighs*
On a side note, I just have to remind myself that 9 months is just a short period of time compared to what I will get which is my lawyer practicing certificate.
Okay, enough with my rants :)
It's just that I need to motivate myself. It's just a small obstacle that I can overcome! :)
I can't believe it is time for my 2nd entry already! ~woot woot~
I would like to apologize for the lousy grammar in my previous post. I was in a hurry because I was scared I would get bored if the process would take a long time and thus abandon the entry. I just hate being bored.
However, I have the responsibility to at least to check, so I will try harder in this post and the next! Fighting! ;D
This is also the reason I started blogging again because I was bored of waiting and refreshing my favourite kpop gossip blogs: netizenbuzz, allkpop and soompi. Plus, I want to do something that I can look forward to every morning :)
Another thing that drives me crazy is that I have long left the world of blogging that I encountered problems regarding:
How to reply comment, I observed from other blogs that you can reply directly per comment instead of making another comment. If I have not reply your comments in my previous post right now; it is because I am still figuring out how. It's driving me crazy -____-" Do you have to change the setting or something?? I hate finding stuff!!
Follower button. I tried to add the old follower widget (i have 100+ followers) that I used to have but it seems to have new version using google+ where I will start back at zero followers -____-" aiyooooo I am still figuring it out the solution.
Let us continue to our main story~~
Indochina Gradtrip Day 2: Ha Long Bay
Oh, I forgot to mention that the time difference 1 hour late than in Malaysia :)
We went by bus and then by boat to reach Ha Long Bay.
Left to right: rahimi, me, una, iswatt and bun
Us on the 2nd floor of the boat

Taken by una :)
Rahimi, Iswatt and Bun
Una, Me and Diana
Lovers in Ha Long Bay hehe
Kayaking!
It's everybody first time hehe Oh boy, I was excited! I have always been an outdoor girl ;) and I always like to try new things.
Since it was our first time kayaking, it was natural that we went the wrong way, bump caves and not to mention other small boats. Hehe Siap gelak kan tourist lain yang langgar batu! haha :p
We were likeso asian as pointed out by Diana, mat salleh busy with enjoying the scenery but we were busy trying to combine our kayak so that we could take selca with the scenery. Diana even managed to upload it on instagram. Yes, in Vietnam you can get its mobile data in the middle in ocean. In Malaysia, jangan cakap mobile data tapi line pun belum tentu dapat. Luckily, I bought waterproof bag from Daiso for my camera since the kayak was not that stable.
Tips: If you want to go right, row to the left and vice versa. The one in front should maneuver while the back should row.
Dong Thien Cung Cave
The small green plant is so kyute!!
Muka penat kayak and explore cave
Muka penat gems and bunc atas boat haha
Last but not least, nak dengar cerita sedih x??? huhu
All I ate for lunch was rice with serunding and coke
Delay defeats justice? arghhhh I feel sorry for my fellow backpackers since it took a long time for me to update the pictures from our graduation trip. ngehehe
Well, you would also be in the brink of giving up when you have a WHOOOPING 11 GB pictures to choose from and the tormenting process of editing. Padahal edit guna picasa je. chehhh
I will break our Indochina grad trip to 3 part according to the respective country. They are Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand.
So, let's begin with our lucky no 1 country: Vietnam.
Our flight was at 7pm and before departing I even managed to grab a coffee latte at McCafe! (I'm a coffee lover!) Jakun tak pernah minum kat McCafe :p And I thought the coffee wasn't strong enough for my taste, maybe I should order an espresso. Oh well, maybe next time.
On the airplane, I managed to change seat with Bun and sat next to the window! weehooo~~
The flight from Kuala Lumpur to Hanoi was 3 hour long. I was bored and played minion rush throughout since I have motion sickness I wasn't able to do any reading activities.
Day 1: Hanoi
Let's explore the capital of Vietnam, Hanoi!
Food Culture
Bún chả is a Vietnamese dish of grilled pork & noodle (thanks wikipedia)
There were many shops like these.
Ambik gambar jelah huhu
Slurp slurp noodles~~
They seem to love their noodles
Spiky Durian. Golden Durian. Durian Seller.
They use these small chairs.
Haha and you don't seem to find any overweight/obese person here.
Business Culture
Mostly they sell fruits, vegetables and sometimes local delicacies.
Outdoor Barber Shop Kinda cute right haha
A soldier (I think) having his hair cut and what's with the torchlight headgear? haha
Bengkel Motor
Tak tahu pun sape nie
nampak tugu je ambik gambar ngehehe tourist sangat :p
Vietnam Military War Museum
Left to Right: Diana, Una and Me
Bendera Merah Bintang Kuning tu bendera Vietnam
Kerana faktor angin, banyak shot perlu di ambil
sebab nak jugak nampak bintang kat bendera tu hohoho
Left to Right: Bun, Rahimi and Iswatt
Hao Chi Minh Mausoleum
It is a memorial (makam) for Hao Chi Minh, Vietminh leader , Chairman of the Communist Party in Vietnam. Fyi, even the city of Saigon was changed to Hao Chi Minh.
One Pillar Pagoda
One of the tourist spot if you made your research on the internet, but I was disappointed since it was so small??.. It was nearby the mausoleum.
Peek-A-Boooo!!! hehe
They will make their prayers and offerings dekat yang kat atas tu.
Located next to the One Pillar Pagoda Temple
Left to right: Una, Me, Iswatt, Diana, Rahimi
One of the mesuem tapi tutup sob sob sob :"(
Tutup meh
tapi cantik sebab nampak classic :)
Vietnam National Museum of Fine Arts
Budak lelaki ish ish ish
Minta maaf kepada pembaca di bawah umaur 18 tahun
Tak serupa tapi sama
Then went back to our ?hostel? to recharge back our energy for dinner hunting and water puppet show.
Food Hunting and Water Puppet show
Sadly we search for 4 restaurant and it was all closed! Permanently closed, closed for outdoor catering, pass the closing time and close for renovation. Adoi! Last-last makan di kfc je. I ate fish sticks and the portion was small huhu 3 keping je fish stick wahhhh nangiss...
left is Diana's seafood burger and right is my fish sticks.
The water puppet show was unique and fun but not to my liking since it doesn't have a storyline and more the history of the culture. Sadly, I didn't managed to snap a picture. Pissed off sebab jalan 1 bandar 4 kedai halal tutup and ada mamat 6 kaki duduk depan yang blocking view. ~gggrrrr
Hoan Kiem Lake
After the water puppet show, we went to the Hoan Kiem Lake. The Turtle Tower and the huc bridge are located there. Nie macam tempat lepak the locals.
The Huc Bridge
Haha Nie baru day 1 dah panjang gila kan (yes I always start with haha, it's a habit)
Please anticipate my day 2 of Indochina gradtrip! :D
