Korea....again?

Assalamualaikum.

Korea again? Yerpp.  As the title said above. It's Korea again... How can I stop myself from going there. Its my joyful place, my love.

I don't really think of other place instead of Korea but I do however,still in my deepest hehart, wanted to go to Japan, Germany, Norway etc someday. InsyaAllah.

But for now, Korea is the most affordable ( still expensive lah in the name of travel but way cheaper than europe and its neighbour country )... But someday insyaAllah when I able to earn money, I will go.


Travel and witness the beauty of Allah creation,what's wrong that.

My 'everything' first time to Korea

Hello ladies and gentleman..

A very very good evening to all of you and assalamualaikum to those who are muslims.
How was your day today anyway?

While waiting for isya pray time, I lay down lazily like a polar bear on my bed and my mind reminisce Korea moment.

So much of my memory preoccupied on memory from my multiple Korea trip experience.

How i really missed korea.... Huuu

Husband pose so handsomely beneath windy chill sun

My latest trip is my honeymoon trip. It was quite different from other trip because going to a places with husband is not as havoc as the one with crazy headed bunch of friends.

Simply because honeymoon itself plays a different role in portraying vibe of the trip but for all that matter, both of us love the food so much and the scenic environment too.

Gazing toward the sky~ 

It was my husband first ever long haul trip and his first time also stepping his foot onto Kimchi land. How sweet.

There is a few hassle moment when his shoes protest ( lol ) so we had no choice but to go to Dongdaemun shoes area to buy him a pair of new shoes. Comfy yet affordable and he loves it.

Can he really contain his excitement 😂

The shoes are undeniably comfortable yet so stylish. He loves it so much....really loves it I guess. 

Perhaps whats make it more fun is he enjoyed the food as much as I did. Since we visited Seoul around March so its still end of winter. Hence, winter fruits are everywhere. 

One of my ultimate is of course Korea strawberry....heyyyy it was fantastically sweet and delicious. Unlike the one I taste in my country. Perhaps the weather and soil is good for sweet strawberry growth.

And  there is also one newly food I tried which I never tried during my previous trips. Its none other than fried tteok... I got to taste it at Tongin Market. And it was hella delicious even my husband loves it ( he did not like the taste of normal tteokbukki tho )

If I ever going back to Korea next time, we will definitely munch this food again whiwe joining dosirak cafe activities ( old coin exchange food activity ). Period! 

Yums...we took spicy and soy sauce coated.

Both super yums.

Look at that....!!!!!

Although we our trip was for seven days but we only felt super cold weather on the first three days and mostly because of chilly wind. The rest of the trip still cold but with sun so its just so-so.


How we wish the snow still falling. Heheh

So this is all for now.
Going to write more later.
Seee ya!

Do you have to be rich to travel?

Do we really have to be so damn rich to actually go travel?

That's a question pouring my mind all over these week as I notice the trend of my malaysian fella go travel has increase.

Someone told me if we go to Melbourne, Australia it will make you feel very Malaysian-ish due to many malaysian visiting there for multiple reasons.

Same goes to Korea, Seoul.
I myself saw many travelers from Malaysia and Indonesia whenever I flew there. Especially when I visited Namdaemun Market. The numbers of Malaysian/Indonesian tourist is so high until you can close your eyes and listen to many speaking bahasa all around you. Some seller also know basic bahasa. Cute huh?

In my opinion... you don't have to be so damn rich or have tons of money in order to travel. Choose travel with less budget. Backpacking style is one of famous way. Its your trip so do plan and some research. Go study the place you want to visit.

Preparation can definitely save you cost.  Look at amount of money you have and decide. Its not that you MUST step your foot on Europe country in order to travel. You can start by visit near place. District next to you?

To Malaysian, you can explore many place in Malaysia. Make a main purpose to travel and go. Don't think too much.

What I mean by preparation is mentally amd physically but I myself just do some basic preparation while the rest are follow the flow. Its more fun!

Even Rasulullah told us Muslims to travel and learn. So go travel and learn something within the journey.

Open your eyes and see the beauty of Allah creation.

SUBHANALLAH.

It's all about Korea and snow

Annyeong people...

Hello hello hello.
Yesterday marked Seoul very first snow for this year. Cheotnun ( 첫눈 ). Some of my friend who were in Korea right Now, I envy you! Kak Lely, Wenie, Amanda... I envy you. Hukkk~

The beauty of snow is enchanting, exciting and intriguing

Just a throwback picture of Prof Zila

I remember the moment when I touched the falling snow from the sky. Oh my its wonderful. I seriously thought it was some sort of dust or something flying across the air. Until my friend Prof Zila scream snow! snow! And we were at Namdaemun Market that morning. What a heavenly moment to be remembered.


We're both so excited we ignored the rest of local people looking and judging but most of them just decided to ignore Zila and I. How funny.

She never stop posing... 😂

We were screaming and jumping I even want to rolling on the floor but no worries I didn't even do it.

It was my first snowfall experience ever although yesterday I already went to Yongpyong Ski Resort and experienced so much snow. However it wasn't the one falling from the sky. But still, its thicker and cold because we went todragon peak using cable car and it was like freakin up high and even colder with the wind are even greater. I remember we're struggling and shaking our hand like crazy and so many pictures are failed to be taken due to excessive shake.

But still, its exciting. The view of Dragon Peak is beyond priceless. Moreover both of us went there when Goblin was still hot and newly aired. Such a perfect timing and guess what even Gongyoo poster was there. Awww...

Not much of a tourist this time in this area but plenty of guys and girls who playing the snow boarding and ski at the other side of this area.

Breathtaking~

SUBHANALLAH

From morning until late evening the snow kept coming and kept falling beautifully and in some area it turned out a bit heavy. Ahhhhh I am super duper excited and even giggling now while typing this entry. That's how big my ♥ toward snow. Lol

Even car covered with snow view making me go crazy...lol

I screamed seleji seleji like crazy maniac and my friend almost give up for super cold weather. Our finger froze and we barely even felt our hand. That's the coolest thing being in cold weather. Ahaha...and I love cold weather.

Ahhh the memory.
Ahhh how I missed it.
The smell of snow...
The beauty of snow...
The cold air due to snow...
The dangerous but still exciting black ice also because of snow...
The moment when it falls softly like a cute little flakes...aww

추워 날씨 너무 좋다 ♥

I missed Korea.

Sydney cheap coffee

Hey everyone..

A year ago I visited Sydney and its all happened when my friend Gma wanted to visit Australia country so much. She influenced us and we agreed. So the group of trip consist four people. Me, Zila, Blur and Gma....

Sadly a week before we fly, Gma had to cancelled herself due to some family matter. So its just 3 of us. Pity Gma.. 😢

I never really have a goal on visiting Australia but I did have a dream since I love travelling. Alhamdulillah, Allah make it happen.

I will make an entry about Sydney trip but this post is only to express how grateful I am that Sydney 7eleven offers cheap coffee. For 1 dollar you get a latte. Yum. The taste is heaven.

Since Sydney is an expensive city and being a coffee lover like me, it gonna cost a bit. Until we randomly enter 7eleven and tadaaaahhhhh....cheap coffeeee in da house.

I fall in love.

coffee is ♥

3 days in Sydney...5th time buy a 7e coffee.

Sydney is a beautiful city...
Gorgeous and scenic.
I didn't regret to join this unplanned trip.

Adiosss.

KOREA TRIP #2 : Part two of excitement

Hey ya~~~~

Let's continue with another excitement. A sole continuation of excitement. It can never gets boring.
While I plan to write this, I spend many hours looking at the pictures folder and giggle still.
I am insane. LMAO

This sign will lead you to airport transit train toward the terminal. Just follow this...or 

follow other passenger. Don't worry much 💃

As soon as I step out from the aircraft, since I was all alone and very confused, I decided to follow the other passenger. Hence that's what I'm doing. Following them wherever they take me. lol... it led me to this signboard (?) and of course I took a snap of it. Don't worry Incheon Airport got so many sign so you won't be lost. Even if you do, just ask around. Don't be scared.

With my cheapskate camera and excitement... I took this photo while walking 

(so that I won't missed the other passenger I followed )💋

Incheon International airport is huge. You might wander here and there but just enjoy. If you ever lost or confused, do enjoy. Hahaha... because you still at the airport so why panic? . I love the scenery offered by this airport. So high tech yet tons of flower and decoration.

seeeee!!! it's gorgeous.

I kept walking, took the train toward the terminal. Settle passport and bammmmm.... waiting for the luggage. Whilst I was there, my eyes kept lurking arouund. So many idol, celebrities poster promoting various product. They become ambassadors and such.

The first thing I did when I finish all those ( before I leave the airport ), I sat down and relax and regain my composure. Nervous? Yeppp...who says not. It was my first and I was all alone in a country far from my own hometown, away from family. I am scared and worry too and its normal. I tried to open the airport wifi .

If you refer below picture. Yep the first three item. Banana utu, vitamin c drinks and T-money.

Banana uyu - To surpress my hunger and as a light breakfast. ( Also because I am so excited to finally able to taste this. Lol )

Vitamin C drink - Because its cold and I kinda have a minor flu and to avoid myself from having fever which will definitely ruined me...I drink it. Yummy. Also, I often saw this kind of healthy drink in kdrama. Yeahh call that as influenced. )

T-money - The most important thing ever....apart from your credit card and cash and passport. Lol. This card is important if you are backpacker or traveller like me who planned to use their public transport. You can even pay foods and drinks at any 7eleven, Gs25 or any 24-hours convenient store. What a way to make super convenient card.

So.... Till we me meet again. I dont want to make this post become extraordinary longer. I rather cut it a bit abd post plenty. Guys, if you have any questions or curiosity, do not hesitate to ask. I can reply even if you speak in Indonesian language, malay language, english.

This is the first three things I bought.

Hungry post

Say yes to soggy instant noodle

<3

Lookin good right. I remember eating this soggy instant noodle while travelling to Seoul. This is when me and my friend visiting our friend who stayed at Myeondong 24 guesthouse. We were resting, chit chatting and hangout together for a few hours when our stomach suddenly growl.

Brrr brrr brrr..

See how ugly its sounds like. Ahahaha

My friend who stayed there decided to cook us some instant noodle / ramen / ramyun / maggi or whatever you call it. Yeah she cooked the one with Malaysian brand. i forgot but if I'm not mistaken its Ruski Tomyam noodles.

Back then when I was in school, this brand was the expensive one bit yummylicious. Now that we grown up, it taste normal. Ahaha usually it doesn't spark my interest anymore like how it used to but somehow that day because we were starving, even the noodles suddenly becomes soggy, it taste heaven.

Yummmmmmm....

We ate sharing in one bowl. How cute. Ahaha... An oldfolks say if you share eating in one plate or bowl, the unseen bonding between each of you will develop. Your love toward each other will grow. Yeahhh.. I love my two friends. Shima and Micky.

We ate til the last drop of drained soup...yummy still.

Thank you Shima for the hospitality. It was indeed such a great memories.

Travelling creates memory. That what matters most.

Do you agree?

KOREA TRIP #1: My first ever solo trip ~part one~

First ever solo trip of mine!

It's a valuable lesson. journey and experience. I thank Allah for all the blessing and chances.
It started with a simple yet hopeful mindset.

TO VISIT MY DREAM PLACE, KOREA!💓

Alhamdulillah I made it.

It does seems impossible to grab and experience this moment if I sat down sitting and imagining stuff 10 years ago but I never thought within 5 years after that , I'm actually stepping my foot onto that country.

It was a full blessing from Allah to me. I am just a normal people with low salary income permonth,w orking in ground oepration department ( in airlines that time) and thank God I can get a cheap ticket because I'm a staff but to visit Korea requires money. Plus it was my first time ever so you can expect being so lil lillo confuse here and there. Every single day I read and keep reading about Korea Trip made  by various blog. Collectiong all data , information and such. I am super duper determined!

Finally the day come and shewwwwwwwwwwwww I am so excited because its a winter season. So cold, so much coldness it definitely hitting my sense. The winter, the windy air, the humid yet super cold surrounding. Fuhhhhhhh. Even there is snow falling from the sky but the remainder snow on the road was enough to satisfy my eager joyness. It's not easy to satisfy me *lol*. Coming from Tropical country, witnessing a snow is so entertaining. I saw tons of snow even from Incheon Airport duing landing. Blessing!

I think I am the only person who couldn't sleep during 6 hours long night flight because my heart is so pumping with joy. Eyes wide open even during the cabin flight turn off and my feeling mixed up with so many emotion. Everytime the cabin crew walked to sell their product, I smiled so wide, so big.

Now that I re-think and reminisced back the memory, it does seemed silly. Hahaha.,😜😜

No need for pretty picture if the imperfect shaking pictures 

can defined my super excitedness. lmao

I took Airasia flight. Thank God we have Airasia and blessed to be able to visit Korea with  low budget but since you're taking a low cost flight, do not expect a full premium comfortableness. Alright?

I was giggling, smiling like an idiot this time okay.💆

Seriously guys, if you ever feel like travelling or have some dream destination in your head. Plan it!!!! put a mindset and picture the desire in your head!!!! and try your very best to execute it. Nothing is impossible if you put your mind, body and heart into it. God will not despise your effort. Sometimes you get it late but eventually you'll get there. 

Since this is my first ever part for this trip and please aware that I will post whatever I have in mind etc. This trip happened 5 years ago so please expect that some of the info might be missing etc. If you have any questions, curiosity or even wanted to say hi, just drop me a comment. 

I just cut the entry short because I want to post more and more and more. 

Hey ! Love you.  Thanks for reading this.
