trip ke jepun part 1

Okay.

I shall see if I managed to update on the trip while lying on this fluffy bed and tunggu husband back from work. Haha. Oh yes, we are still in JB.

Although everything was so last minutes, we enjoyed Japan to the bit. It was my second time in Tokyo whilst husband's first time.

For us Tokyo is a fine place, dengan budaya dan masyarakat mereka yang teratur dan straight forward, I guess our journey is nothing than smooth.

Jan 29th, 2015 (Khamis) - Day 1

Flying with Air Asia X via KLIA2 at 1420. Landed at Haneda International Airport, Japan at 2230 their time. Japan cepat 1 jam dari kita. GMT +9. So sampai sana waktu Malaysia 9.30 malam, tapi waktu mereka dah 10.30 malam. Flight time 7hours and 5mins.

Tips : If fly dengan Air Asia X, sila pre book meals, seats and if possible kalau tak larat nak duduk tersepit lama, ambil lah hot seat. Hot seat ialah seat yang paling depan every row. So ada ruang kelegaan kaki yang lebih selesa untuk melunjur. Kalau bawa orang tua or baby, memang advisable ambil seats ni. Sebab baby perlukan bassinet throughout the flight.

And yes, of course you have to pour more money for the above.

Wow, I'm improving my skill in taking selfie. Yes, I am not good at all in this.

Okay, since kami arrive Japan lambat dan flight back to KL pun near midnight so we decided to stay in an apartment. And it was the best decision ever! Hahaha, will tell about it later.

After browsing and surveying for days, we opted to stay at Ikebukuro, Tokyo. Reason being was; the place is very near to the trains station and Ikebukuro Station antara station yang penting sebab pertukaran banyak train di situ. Di Japan, ada banyak jenis train dan routes and it's really confusing.

Selain tu, the place also very convenient dengan malls and tempat makan. Plus point, there's one halal restaurant just 5 minutes away. And it's Malaysian, people!

Rate wise is around RM380++/night and all worth it because its like we own the whole apartment. Fully furnished with heater/aircond, kitchen, washing machine and all.

From Haneda Airport, we took Keikyu Line (JR) to Ikebukuro. We need to change train at Shinagawa. Train cost us JPY670/person. 35 to 40 minutes journey. Option ini yang paling murah dan senang since we arrive quite late kan, and Ikebukuro station is just like 7 minutes walk to our apartment.

Note : JPY100 = RM3 (lebih kurang)

Okay, so dah sampai. After whole drama tarik bags from the station and finding our apartment dalam cuaca yang Subhanallah sangatlah sejuk, it's a warp for Day 1. If that may consider as Day 1. Hahaha.

Jan 30th, 2015 (Jumaat) - Day 2.

Woke up to the snowfalls.

Oh my god.

I memang teruja dan jakun okay.

I've been to few four seasons countries, alhamdulillah. Memang pernah rasa dan tengok snow, tapi till the date I tak pernah rasa snowfalls yang macam Merry Christmas tu ya. Tak pernah. So bila I bangun and selak langsir, I macam terpaku few seconds before I berlari ke katil dan kejut husband.

I. Berlari. And. I. Goncang. Husband. I.

Yes.

I gegar gegar sambil terjerit jerit;

"Sayang bangun sayang, you're not gonna miss this. It's snowing! It's snowing!"

Terpisat-pisat lah hamba Allah tu bangun sebab terkejut! Tapi dia tenung sekejap saja, then sambung tidur balik! Hahaha.

View from our apartment! Ah, bestnya!

Then kitorang bersiap-siap and it's almost petang bila kita decide nak ke Akihabara. Sebabnya kitorang mengumpul kekuatan nak keluar dalam cuaca sejuk dan windy!

From Ikebukuro we took train to Akihabara. They call it as Electric City. Kat sini mostly orang cari barang electric and electronic, gadget dan toys kot?

Strolling around the road and husband end up buying miniature cars. Yeah. My husband.

Okay pardon all my photos.  All are selfies BTW. I pasang monopod at my phone so semua gambar memang kalau tak ada muka I, mesti ada husband I. My husband carry along his DSLR so all good photos are with him. Once he update his blog, I will put the link here okay?

Meanwhile please bare with all my selfie photos. Kasihan siapa yang tersesat masuk blog I cari info on Japan confirm terpaksa tengok muka I. Sorry people! I'll try to feed as many info as I could ya.

I shall stop first and to be continue later ya?

short one, will get back on track very soon.

2015 being so nice so far, alhamdulillah!

Long hiatus because I was away for a beautiful unplanned trip with husband to Japan for 6 days end of January and now while typing this,

I am enjoying my view and breezing day in Johor Bahru.

Ah-ha,

Nope. Not holiday this time, but ikut husband kerja. Well, as for me bercuti lah ya. Cuma it is not that fun sebab the husband not around most of the time.

Well.

Gonna spend 19 amazing days here in JB, hoping to recap all jalan and walking down the memory lane here. JB was part of me before, I was raised in Johor, and I am still Johorean. Proud one!

Will put up the entry in Japan soon I managed to find out how linked my dropbox to this laptop. I am using husband's so the account registered here is him. Couldn't find out yet, on how to log out him and log in mine. Yeah, so much of IT savvy, I am.

Till then.

suamiku encik perfect 10 #moviereview

Er.

Not so review actually. I tak reti review movie. Unlike this beautiful lady, she's good. Damn good. She can write in details okay on the movies or novels, dan siap selingan perasaan dia lagi. I yang baca pun boleh terbayang-bayang. Hahaha. Eh, anyway please update your blog, okay? I need my dose!

Okay.

I watched Suamiku Encik Perfect 10 yesterday? Eh, was it a day before yesterday? No, jangan gelak okay? I seriously memang boleh tengok local movies at the cinema. Like some people rasa tak worth it kan? But I can. Hahaha.

Tak plan pun to watched the movie, it was a sudden plan when a night before I tertengok something like disebalik tabir. And I terus ter-snap, I pernah baca novel ni! Woah, memang sekarang trend semua movie di adaptasi dari novel ya? And to my surprise my husband agree to watch this! Hahaha. Tapi masa nak beli ticket movie, dua-dua malu nak sebut tajuk movie.  Entah apa-apa, kan?

My verdict? Okaylah, not bad the movie. Cuma biasalah, kalau novel diangkat menjadi movie, tentu-tentunya tak sedetails macam kt novel kan? Bila kita baca novel of course kita ada our own imagination untuk sekian sekian watak, tapi bila dah jadi movie maka berterbanganlah semua imagination awal kita tu.

Aaron Aziz and Lisa Surihani; they're good. They really can act, tu memang tak boleh dinafikan. I love it when Lisa Surihani dalam movie ni put on a very light make up. Cantik, sangat cantik. And real! I am talking about Lisa here, bukan cast-cast lain dalam movie ni. Aaron Aziz, nothing much to comment, tapi I tak rasa macam chemistry between diorang kuat. Ada part-part yang suppose to be sweet, tapi jadi euwwww, tak kena kot! Hahaha.

Well, that's not the main point of this entry. I nak cakap kenapa nowadays kita selalu disogokkan dengan cerita kahwin paksa, mengandung before nikah and not to mention typical kisah orang kaya yang tamakkan harta and ada wasiat dengan syarat kena kahwin dengan certain people then barulah harta jatuh ke tangan mereka?

What happened to us, people?

Memang hidup kita berkisar pada kisah-kisah macam tu saja ke? I am not in the position to cakap benda-benda macam ni kot, but for me this will give not so good influence pada our next generation. Mungkin betul reality nya macam tu, tapi bila selalu dan terlalu dipaparkan secara terang-terangan dan digarap menjadikan perkara begini sweet, is just so wrong. Seolah-olah it just a common things and nothing is wrong about that, because at the end of the day things will get better and even sweet!

Macam mana tu?

yang sedang-sedang saja

Hello everyone!

Oh my god, it's been 22 days past 2015, and where has I been all this while? The fact is, tak kemana pun. Cumanya macam tak ada kesempatan meng update blog.

Alhamdulillah, life's treating me good so far. Busy nya ya ampun,  since last month. I had 4 weddings back to back, y'alls! Mommy was here also, so that explains my hiatus.

Now I sedang teman my husband for a jamming session. It's been a while from their last session. I suka okay teman dia jamming, I suka tengok live performance (sort of lah!). Hihi.

They're all very talented. 4 of them all together. Semuanya my husband colleagues. They called themselves 'Averaged'. Don't ask me why is there -ed. I just don't understand either. Nevertheless, they're good.

So my husband is the lead guitarist.

Actually I kagum gila dengan orang yang berbakat dan boleh bermain instruments dengan baik. Not to mention those yang boleh menyanyi dengan baik.

I adore.

Simply because I can't.

Tell you what, I can't even humming to the right rhythm. Hahaha, kesian kan. Apatah lagi menyanyi. I rasa I tone deaf. Because I don't know when to start to sing pun. Well, don't blame me. It runs in the family, serious!

Tapikan, I suka je nyanyi (read : menjerit). Hahaha, sometimes when I feel bored, I will just nyanyi or buat suara orang nangis kuat-kuat. Weird, I know. But I find it entertaining. Husband I lah yang selalu terkejut. Hahaha.

BTW, I tengok orang main gitar pun I terasa lenguh dan pedih jari, how la to learn to play then? Taklah kot. But I will make sure my kids  inherit this from their father, because I just love to ruin their session with me becoming their vocalist (read : paksarela)! Ah, just cant wait! :p

doa buat kekasih

Aha!

Tak sempat New Year dah ada new entry ya? Hihi.

Ada masa lapang sikit today. I was watching this lovely drama on Maya HD. Cute! Hihi. Starring Zul Ariffin and Siti Saleha. I think they made a perfect couple. Such a lovely and pretty fellow these two! Indah sungguhlah ciptaan Allah manusia berdua ni!

Well. And this song was the sound track of the movie.

Love. Major love.

Dedicated to you, Sayang, Mommy, Bobby and Ninie!

I love you guys the most, regardless what!

tekanan jiwa

Kuala lumpur = cuti = terribly disaster.

the end

Hi everyone? How you guys doing?

I'm good, Cuma biasalah, busy a bit. Hahaha, Alasan yang paling selalu tak?

But it's true. Dah nak hujung tahun ni banyak betul benda listed in the schedule. Not to mentioned kenduri kahwin here and there, and some projects going on as well.

Last week my mom was here for few days, With nenek. One of my little cousin getting married last weekend. Not so little anymore, besar dah dia! Bila one by one family members kahwin, terasa sangat how time flies! But lepas ni maybe ada break lama sikit la before next one, sebab yang tinggal semua still study and kecil lagi.

Anyway, so bila my mom's here so banyaklah agenda nya. Bawa dia ke sana ke mari, which is me and husband don't mind at all. One thing, I suka betul kalau orang datang rumah, sebab I macam suka ramai-ramai and meriah. Now that she's back to hometown, so rumah rasa sunyi je. She will only come again in January for Afiq's wedding and oh maybe my little sister will be back for semester break also! Can't wait!

I tengah-tengah browse FB and look what I've found!

It was our very first roster! My fellow batchgirl in MH uploaded it! Hihi. Kalau ingat balik time dapat roster ni, rasa nervous gila!

Actually that was our SNY flight, maksudnya macam practical flight before we truly certified and graduated as Cabin Crew. Before that ada juga pergi 2 observation flights. Observation flights tu senang je, we just observe. But as for SNY flight ni, we must operate as a crew and were given position as well. And yes people, I kena served Business Class during this flight. Mine were bound for Bangkok (BKK).

Alhamdulillah, we all made it for SNY. Semua graduated on time. Honestly, this job isn't easy at all. Tak mudah, seriously. You need to be aware and prepare all the time. There's not a chance for you to slip a bit, because if there's an emergency, you are so responsible for all your passengers. So, be nice to your Cabin Crew/Flight Attendant.

Kalau nak reminisce balik all memories in MH, memang banyak. Well, I shall make a special entry for that later, okay?

Oh. We have come to an end for 2014. So how's your resolutions so far? Banyak yang achieved ke? If yes, that's good for you. If not pun tak apa, we can always bring it forward, don't we? Like we always did. Hahaha.

The husband said he has few open tickets left for this year, asking me where do I wanna go? Seriously I tak tahu. Kejap kang macam nak pergi sini, kejap nanti I change my mind to somewhere else. Told him to just decide, I am okay will all. Sebab AA routes mana je pun nak pergi kan?

So I wish all of you Happy 2015 in advance! In case my next post will be somewhere next year! And, Merry Christmas beautiful people with beautiful soul!

Goodbye

Last we met was few weeks ago. Masa my little brother's wedding reception dekat Muar.

Dia macam biasa, hadir walaupun sedikit lewat. Ada majlis di KL katanya. Berbaju hijau muda, bersulam nama sendiri di pocket baju. He's wearing the same design last week with different color. Hihi.

He came and duduk di meja sambil makan. Dia panggil my husband duduk sekali. I know he likes my husband. Because he hardly panggil mana-mana anak buah duduk semeja and offer cigarettes. My husband politely declined. That was because our Paklong and Maklong pun ada duduk sekali. Kami ( Tok Taza and his wife, anak-anak dia, Paklong, Maklong, Me and Husband) bersembang banyak cerita. It was very entertaining tengok dia gurau-gurau dengan isteri dia, and dia bercerita things about him that we don't know and unsure before. It's like getting-to-know-more-session for us.

A week before during reception di KL, I appointed his baju and said;

" Woah Tok! Cantiknya baju, siap ada nama!"

And he said,

" Ala, ni outdated punya collection. My new one coming soon "

And he giggled.

Yes.

Thru enough.

His new collection ialah kain kapan yang beliau pakai on his very last day. It was last week, Thursday Dec 4th, 2014. A day before, nenek call and bilang Tok Taza masuk ICU, sakit jantung and stroke.

I was shocked. My mom was shocked. Everyone was shocked.

 Sebab rasa macam baru sangat jumpa dia, and he was all healthy and cheerful. What can I tell you, he is one handsome and kind man. Ini betul handsome, bukan sebab he's my datuk saudara. Bukan. He's tall, kulit putih kemerah-merah and very charismatic. And I like him. Much. Very much. Kalau masa I kecil, rumah dia di Melaka yang I very looking forward nak pergi.

Because he gave lots of duit raya and makan rumah dia sedap.

My mom pun kalut nak pergi melawat dan jumpa pakcik dia.

So we decided untuk melawat dia di Putra Medica Specialist, Melaka on the next day. Honestly, I tak rasa apa pun masa nak pergi melawat dia. I mean, by the time kami arrive I hope dia akan sedar dari coma. So that we can chat with him, make him smile and have a good time in Melaka. Yes. I siap plan nak bawa my mom makan asam pedas Hajjah Mona dan coconut shake afterwards.

Bila kami sampai, still tak boleh masuk. He was in CCU. After a while, doctor panggil immediate family members. So I nampak Nek Nomi (his wife) bergegas masuk. Tak lama lepas tu, semua orang masuk and I thought;

" Oh, Tok dah sedar agaknya "

And bila sampai kat katil dia, I nampak Nek Nomi terduduk sambil nangis and tunjuk ke arah Tok Taza. Anak-anak dia, my Nenek ( Arwah's Kakak) and my mom datang dekat katil and nangis. I nampak monitor tepi katil but I don't know how to read. I nampak Tok Taza terbaring atas katil dengan bantuan oxygen.

I sedih. I sedih tengok dia macam tu. I sedih tengok everyone nangis. I cried a bit, I cried because I rasa suasana tu sedih and I sedih Tok Taza tak sedar dari coma lagi. My husband came and hugged me. But silly me, I thought semua orang sedih sebab he still coma. Until I nampak the monitor went blank.

And then I terdengar anak dia cakap dengan the nurse yang mereka nak bawa balik Tok cepat.

So I asked my husband;

" Tok dah tak ada ke? "

" Iya b, b baru perasan ke? "

I tak tahu nak describe apa yang I rasa. Tapi I rasa such a big lost. What came in my mind was;

Raya and any event after this won't be the same because he no longer around.


Alhamdulillah, urusan pengebumian Arwah berjalan dengan sangat lancar. Ramai orang datang and pay him very last respect. I know Arwah memang sangat dikenali ramai dan ada ramai kenalan dan family yang sayangkan beliau.

I'm happy that we decided to visit him, I'm happy that we spent whole day in Melaka dan bersama beliau dalam perjalanan akhir beliau. I'm happy that dia sempat datang to my wedding and having him around dalam event-event penting dalam hidup I was such a bless.

Alfatihah, Tok Taza.

Insyaallah, we'll meet again someday.


Allahyarham Tuan Haji Mustadza bin Abu Bakar

Innalillah.

mother of 3

Mommy is here! Mommy is here!

Hehe.

My mom baru je undergo operation kat kaki due to lymphoma last Sunday. So Monday discharge, we went back Muar and fetch her. So she's here. Kasihan tengok dia. Jalan pun dengkot-dengkot. Lucky its only sikit je. But still sakit kan.

Having her here rasa rumah macam meriah dan bersinar sikit. It's not that my mom suka bercakap ke apa, tapi I memang suka rumah ramai orang. I suka orang datang rumah, provided inform dulu la kan. Atleast we could prepare something. Kalau datang mengejut terjah je, merasa lah air kosong dan biscuit kering. Almaklumlah bila berdua je kalau ada stock kurang tu buat-buat tak nampak je.

At least adalah chance nak bodek husband makan luar. *alasan barang basah dah tak ada nak masak* hihi. Hi sayang!

So bila mak mak ni ada kat rumah, feeling dia lain. Rasa content. Serious lain. Tak tahu lah I je rasa macam tu or semua orang pun sama.

Dulu kan, I tak rapat pun dengan my mom. Sebab I membesar macam sendiri, then duduk hostel kejap, then duduk dengan nenek sampai habis SPM. Sebab my mom struggle kerja, dan dengan masalah rumahtangga dia seriously memang tak ada masa sangat for us adik beradik.

Ada one time I rasa marah gila kat my mom. Marah sangat sampai I rasa I swear that anything happen I tak nak my mom tahu or masuk campur. Gila kan remaja memberontak ni? Bila ingat balik bangang sangat rasanya. Plus my mom memang garang nak mampus dulu.

Kalau weekend I keluar rumah, nak pergi library ke apa (read: dating), my mom akan make sure I balik pukul 5PM. Yes. Tak ada discount. Tapi selalu juga I terlajak. End up kena duduk luar sampai gelap. Haha. I remember once dia pernah text I;

"Langit dah nak runtuh ni, tak reti nak balik ke?"

Garang sangat makcik ni. Mak siapalah tu.

Bila I start kerja, start membesar (I consider I besar bila kerja dan pegang duit sendiri), I mula belajar hidup melalui pengalaman orang dan sendiri, I tahu Allah jadikan semua ada sebabnya.

Deep down inside me I pernah je salahkan my mom and my father. I dulu always rasa mereka selfish nak jaga keluarga masing-masing sampai lupa hak I. Hak I dan adik lelaki I. I marah bila I tak berpeluang belajar masuk University macam orang lain sebab well, susahkan. I tak ada guidance dan support.

But later, I learnt, tak kisahpun tak masuk University. Atleast I jadi orang. Atleast I berjaya buat apa yang I mahu, I berjaya hidup semacamana yang I inginkan. I berjaya juga obtain diploma (diploma je pun, hahaha) walaupun tak right after school macam orang lain.

Tapi I dapat pengalaman. I dapat kerja dengan 2 airlines and later still dapat diploma, I ada cert in hospitality. Banyak benda Allah replace, Alhamdulillah.

So bila dah kerja sendiri and now dah kahwin, I start to understand her whole situation. How she struggles and juggle for her life. I rasa siapalah I tanpa my mom. Dia bersusah payah lahirkan I, besarkan I juga walau mungkin tak sebaik orang lain, tetaplah yang paling baik Allah dah aturkan untuk I. Sekurang-kurangnya I ada mak.

I thank you Allah for that, for letting me learn life through hard way. Dan tidaklah sesusah orang yang jauh lebih susah. And thank you for at one time I finally realised that I love my mom, cinta yang susah nak gambarkan dengan kata-kata.

Bila I tengok dia tertidur kat kerusi malas sampai merehatkan kaki yang sakit, I know I love her much regardless what. I know I would do what it takes just to make her happy and comfortable. She deserves that not because all her hard work, she deserves that simply because she's a mother. She's my mom.

Thank you sayang, for making life and things much easier with you by my side. Thank you for loving my mom and taking responsibility as a son. I love you infinity.

Thank you Allah for the blessing. Thank you.

misi dan visi

Nak kurus.

Hahahah.

Kelakar kan? Kelakar ke?

Betul weh. Marriage already take its toll on me. I put on weight. Obviously. Baru je beberapa bulan kahwin kan, tapi dah naik berkilo-kilo. Uwaaa. Stress. I suka je put on weight, but not this much lah kot? I rasa by now I dah naik plus minus 6kilos. Which I think that's a lot kot?

I used to weight around 43-45kg back then when I served the airlines. After quit, adalah naik dalam sekilo dua. I would say I look best at 48kg macam tu with my 165cm height. Now the scale will stop at 53.8kg whenever I put myself on.

So. Not. Nice.

I boleh rasa diri I berat, dengan lemak bulging here and there. Please don't say if dari kecil I tak besar jangan nak mengomel naik few kilos dah rasa gemuklah apalah. Seriously memang boleh rasa kot kebesaran dan ketidakselesaan. Perut membuncit jangan ceritalah. I am afraid if people think I am pregnant while I am not. Kalau betul ada baby tu best jugalah kan.

Dulu masa zaman bujang, I selalu rasa kelakar bila orang yang dah kahwin complaint asyik mengomel berat dah naiklah, badan dah berisi lah dan so on. Dalam hati I always tertanya-tanya apa kena mengenalah kahwin dengan berat bertambah.

Heh.

I was wrong, darling. Big time. Dari segi science nya I tak tahu la apa kena mengenanya, Tapi bila dah merasai sendiri, I rasa macamni;

Bila kita happy, kita tend to makan lebih. Dan most of happy moments mesti disertai acara makan-makan. Husband makan, I pun makan. Husband tak makan, I makan juga. Balik rumah mertua, makan sedap lagi. Amboi, makan saja. Belum kira keluar dating, tetap jugalah makan tujunya.

Hehe.

Thank you husband, asyik bawa makan.

Okay. Disebabkan ada kesedaran diri yang tinggi dan nak shed few kilos to look good, just for you husband. Just for you. Hehe. Tak sebenarnya. Diri sendiri rasa tak selesa. So I dah pun menyenaraikan beberapa langkah dan cara untuk menguruskan badan.

1. Kurangkan makan nasi - Checked.

Er, sebenarnya I tak kurangkan makan nasi pun. I cuma tukar ke beras Taj Mahal Herba Ponni tu je. Hihi. I google around, banyaklah juga kebaikkan dan boleh kuruskan badan, so there go! Nasi tetap makan 2 kali sehari. Bijak tak?

2. Exercise - Checked.

Omaigok. This is so lame. And typical. But that's the fact. Memang kalau nak kurus kena exercise kan? Dulu duduk condo ada swimming pool and gym, sekarang dah tak ada. Jogging? Oh. Never in my list. So apa I buat? I tingkatkan activity memasak dan menyapu rumah, Berpeluh-peluh juga okay?

3. Minum mineral water 3 liter sehari -Checked.

Okay, dulu I memang amalkan ni. I akan make sure everyday, without fail yang I akan habiskan 2 bottle mineral water 1.5liter tu. Tapi sejak kahwin tu, I pun tak faham kenapa I kurang minum mineral water dan banyak gila minum manis. I rasa tu sebab I buncit dan berisi kot? Konon-konon meraikan I dah kahwin. Stupid. Hahaha.



BTW,

I baru je start ni semua last few days. Yang no.1 dan no.3 lah, No.2 tu I buat everytime berkesempatan okay. Sebab husband I memang suka sangatlah masakan I *mata keatas, tangan didada*. Hahaha. Hopefully hasilnya memberangsangkanlah.

Otherwise, the husband just have to bear with me lah, sebab dialah I gemuk!
