Welcome Feb

Hi.

I know, terskip first week of Feb. 

I thought I was recuperating. from life in Jan. 😂

Anyhoo,

I have created another list of recaps to post this month and this time for the year 2025. Coz I love how the previous recap lists work well! It helped me focus and procrastinate less when trying to post. 😎

sooo...See you next week? Coz ani kira opening for Feb saja LOL. 

oh, i have a new favorite

Chen XingXu or Oliver Chen

How?

pasal nampak so many videos on IG and Threads of him being in the middle of two ladies gossiping LOL

Definitely a different vibe from K-world. Last aku liat Chinese drama was when I was in primary 2 and that drama was the classic style /  historical baju one. Antah apa kah sudah jalan cerita nya. So, when i wanted to start watching cXingXU ani punya drama, aku mcm, "drama korea modern lagi aku lama dh inda liat". 

Jan 2026 alone saja he has two drama released; Love Between Lines and My Page from the 90s (ani female lead nya is the one in the black/green dress in the video). Love Between Lines sudah keluar all episodes and I tried to start when it was only 6 episodes in but I just can't. I don't have the mental capacity for it LOL. Macam inda payah ku liat jua since I saw so many IG reels kana share of that drama. Labih dari spoiler. We'll see. When work life isn't so exhausting. which will be next half of the year if not Quarter four of the year. #prayformywellbeing

He also, for the first time, join a variety show, Wow The World. So far the reels that I came across showed his silly goofy side. Macam kan ia selalu macam macho2, sekali arah show atu ia macam, cringe. BAHAHAHAHA oh! macam cJaehyun NCT! handsome tahap dewa tapi sebenarnya clumsy and silly. HAHAHAHAH i guess noone is perfect HAHAHAHAH

Ok, this was supposed to be a short post but as always when talking about something I like, I can't shut up!

Ok, ok. Last. Aku to wonder kenapa shape muka nya ani soo familar to me. Until one day, aku teklik. That one 2PM member yang belakun dalam Queen For 7 Days; Changsung. I love him in that drama.

Bagi ku kan sama lah. 😁

Ok, itu saja. 

See you next week.

my BuJo Theme this month

Hi guys.

a short one. 

I thought I'd shared with you guys a few pictures from my journal/diary February theme. 

I was inspired by AmandaRachLee's LilDoodle fan project's; Self Love. it was in dedication to Amanda as she took a break from youtube for the month. and I think the theme fits well with me too.

February is coming to an end and March is fast approaching. I wonder if I should follow Amanda's March theme or should I do her February theme for my March theme? I don't know what's her March theme going to be like but here's her Feb:

she said these were inspired by the movie To All The Boys I Loved

this theme will suit me PERFECTLY too. like, do you know how much pen I bought back in 2018 (or probably even more far back than that) and still belum use to this day? I have a problem.

which theme should I go for then?

When you lazy

hi guys.

yes, I am in a rush to get this up. LOL 

So, lets get on with the story.

Have you ever been SOOOOOOOOOOOO lazy that you couldn't even bother to do shit?

Well, I have.

For context, I am currently doing so many things; running 2 jobs, trying to read, trying to update my diary/journal, and trying to sleep at least 6 hours every night. 
and some times, when I was too tired, I skipped the reading and journal updating and focus on finishing my dinner before I go to bed.
During this too-tired episode, I usually become super lazy. Like, super.
I usually eat in front of my laptop so before I start eating, i usually browse thru my hard disk, trying to pick a movie to watch. Yes, a movie.

Image Not Mine

I hear one of you said, "baik plang ko liat movie cDO tu". and my respond to that is, "malas ku make an effort. I don't have the enegry kan baca subtitle".

Yup. You read that right, 'don't have the energy kan baca subtitle'. 

I don't know about you but watching any non-malay or non-english movies or drama requires a lot of effoft;
liat screen, baca subs, liat pinggan ku, suap makanan ke mulut ku, liat screen lagi, baca subs, liat pinggan, ARGH! no.
I'm not a slow reader by any means but I just can't.
My brain already too tired and I already decided I'm gona be lazy, I'll just pick a movie yg aku sudah pernah liat saja, ok?


but seriously, I much rather watch movie balik2 than having to watch a new one when I'm feeling lazy. coz to me, watching new movie/drama requires focus. Actually, the same goes to all malay/English movies/drama. i don't know. thats just me. I prefer to concentrate on the new ones.
kalau movie/drama lama, I don't mind missing a few subs/or scenes coz I already know the story. I don't have to constantly rewinding a scene when I missed it. you know?
Here's to name a few movies that I watch on repeat all the time (that I can actually recite them in my sleep);

... to name a few.

I'm sure I can't be the only one with this kind of lazy.

Tell me, what kind of lazy are you?

My Allergy

hi guys.

Updates.

My allergic reaction to cats.

back story:
Ever since I was little, We, as a family, have always had cats; house cats, stray cats outside, etc. 
In my teenage years, I began having this sneezing fit whenever I pet/hugged/played with cats
BUT the reaction subsides after I washed/blew my nose. I'll have blocked nose for awhile but in the end, I'll be fine and I even slept in one bed with the cats. it's like, I became immune.
At one point (the point when we had two house cats), my mom started saying, "Ko ani allergic kucing kali" coz this sneezing fit happened almost every time I played with cats. I blatantly stopped my mom by saying, "apa plang allergic yg dari damit (aku) tinggal sama kucing". and that was that of that conversation.

Fast forward:
by this point we have lived at our new home for 5 years and for that duration, our previously house cats have been living in their own house outside of our house (properly sheltered and comforted, don't worry). Meaning, I have never stayed in one room with any cats for longer than 15 minutes top. Sometimes I don't even see them for a whole day. Mind you, these are family aka my mom's cats, sooo she see/baby-ed them more often than I do.
anyway,
my sneezing fit reaction still exists but the moment I get away from their place, it usually stops. and that was that.


1st major incident.
I was at my sister's house. she has a house cat named Tiger. 

LOOK AT HIM!

I used to house-sit her house whenever they go vacation. and of course, sneezing fit will occur but after I do my clean-nose-under-running-water-wash-face-wash-hand routine, it'll stop. as always.
but for some reason, earlier this month, when I went to her house to hang out, my sneezing fit became a little severe? and all I did was pet si Tiger macam biasa kalau aku ke rumah durang. Like, what gives?
No matter how many times I blew my nose and washed it, the sneezing won't stop. I soon developed a blocked nose, headache and my upper teeth felt like it was about to fall off.
I knew it was the cat and I knew if the usual clean up routine didn't work, the best thing to do is to take myself out of that environment. So, I left my sister's house unusually early.
It was like I had a common cold. hence, when I get home, I took Panadol ActiFast before going to bed.
I was fine the next day.


2nd Major incident.
happened just last Monday at Zawir's. LOL
It was a mini birthday celebration for the sister. and I was invited.
as I arrived, the mom introduced their house cat to me.
The moment the cat was shown to me, I started having itchy nose and soon enough, my sneezing fit arrived. but that didn't stop me from playing with the cat! Like, it's so ranik and easily entertain, like, you have to play with it.

IMAGE NOT MINE

but the cat look similar to the real thing tho

The whole time, I tried to mask the irritation. LOL fail tho. Zawir thought it was the airconditioning. It was not bro. It was the cat.
Despite the reaction, I actually stayed sampai pukul 7 malam. hashtag stubborn. coz I really thought it would go away. Guess who is wrong~~? 
but really by that time, I really cannot tahan the feeling of my upper teeth about to fall off. So, sis balik.
When I arrived home, my eyes felt 'thick' and when I looked in the mirror, they were slightly puffy (no picture guys, you gotta take my word for it). I quickly clean up and eat my trusty Panadol ActiFast and within the next couple of hours, the symptoms subsides. except the blocked nose. that one took longer.
but unlike last time, the next day, I still have runny nose. my only worry now is people might be suspicious of me, what's with the corona virus issue and all. 

In conclusion, I declared myself allergic to cats now. Like, REALLY allergic to cats now. Dulu, bulih lagi ku cuba clean my nose and get myself ammune but I can no longer do that. Hashtag Faktur Umurrrrr.
I still love cats tho. I will still pet them. or gumas2. or param2. or pirik2. LOL I mean, cats have been with me my entire life! I can't just be without cats! don't be ridikulus.
Paksa belimit saja lah from now on.

BUT WHY THO?!

WHY NOW?

. . .

When In Seoul. Conclusion.

hold up! you think I am done?

You thought wrong. I need to share to you my thoughts on about going to Seoul.

Hi.

Yes, I am not done yet! but really this will be the last of this series.

So, my self Q&A for Seoul Trip.

1. How was it?

It was a good experience. for first-timer, I think I did well with the planning. 👍🏻


2. What I don't like about Seoul?

• Obviously I don't mean the entire city. but from where I've been, I'm gonna say, I don't like riding the train during rush hour. not gonna even try to compare it to Japan rush hour. like, no.
• For some reason, I came across a lot of snobbish young adults, or even older. Like, apakan? Tinggi sangat kah darjat mu that you have to look down on me?
• THOSE. FUCKIN. CULT. DUO. I'm serious about that mini anxiety attack I got every time I remembered it.

3. What I like about Seoul?

• Kind ahjummas. During my research, I read a lot about angry ahjummas and prepared myself for it. But surprisingly, they were the most kind and sweet people I met in the entire trip.
• Korean Skin Care products so accessible! and those Free Gifts upon purchase are real.
• Being approached by fellow Muslim who are Korean. one time, in subways, an ahjussi bagi Salam to us and we without hesitation jawab and he calmly introduced himself "I'm Korean Muslim". I just bowed my head and smiled. Sometimes those little gesture from strangers calm me.

4. Will I'll be planning to go back?

Maybe. but as mentioned in previous post, I have mini anxiety attack when I think about the CULT and heavy traffic on the train during rush hour. COZ ONE TIME! I LITERALLY BOUNCED OF AN AHJUSSI TUMMY OUT OF THE TRAIN! not a good memory! I ACTUALLY STOPPED AT A TIANG AND HUGGED IT! I WAS THAT TERRIFIED! 

I don't know man. Maybe its just me with my anxiety around crowded area. BUT IT WASN'T THIS BAD WHEN I WAS IN JAPAN. AND I WAS ALONE!

I don't know. Maybe if I went there with a guy friend or with a bigger group, maybe I will consider it.

and with that, I'll end this series here with a videoclip that was released in the beginning of my Kpop craze; 

Super Junior & Girls' Generation - SEOUL.

hmmm.. I might come back. there are places in this MV I didn't get to visit.

Where Shindong and Sunny met

That Han River Bridge thing.

When in Seoul part 5

yayyy we made it, part 5!

Hi guys.

Welcome back and thank u for coming back.

Today's post gonna be about our final day in Seoul, Day 5, and our visit to Lotte World.

My friend belanja me the ticket to the theme park, thank U!! and with that ticket, it includes the entrance fee to the Folk Museum.

We first entered the theme park. and walked around. We didn't get to play any of the games tho. coz my friend was afraid of heights and the other game has some major queues.

I mean it's not Disneyland but I guess it's suffice. Ah! We went on a Friday so that should explain the crowds.
wow! that was the only pictures I have of the theme park. wow. it really is painful making this post series. They keep reminding of all the pictures I have lost.

Anyway, after making a couple of round trying to find a ride, we ended up going to the Folk Museum, inside the mall. Lotte World is actually a mall.
actually, Lotte World and its theme parks reminds me of Genting Highland in Malaysia. same theme or concept.

now, the museum was almost deserted. Like, really. We will meet a couple of people and then, we were alone again. I guess know was excited as I was. I mean, look at this fancy miniature thingy!

There were also some larger scale display and a life scale display of which I no longer have a copy of. 

For more interactive activities I did at the museum, kindly check my IG.

and I don't remember what we did afterwards. Like, I have no further recollections of that trip other than going to the airport. LOL

I think we just when back to the hostel to rest and when out to eat and tried to shop in Myeongdong. I think lah. 

and just like that, the trip came to an end.

and so is this post series.

I hope you enjoy my stories. Hopefully I'll be rajin enough to share stories from my Japan solo trip too in the near future.

Until then, thank u for coming this far guys. I appreciate it.

When In Seoul part 4

Hi guys.

Yassss Part 4 now.

onto Day 4 of the Seoul Trip.  We went to Itaewon and Insadong.

First stop, Itaewon.

Not my picture. and this could be a wrong street too. I got it off Google.

I remember we started the day pretty late. Like we got to Itaewon almost midday. We jalan2 for awhile, exploring the area and tried shopping for sport shoes. I said try becoz I found the SHINee colored adidas but the shop didn't have my size. Like, ok sis.

And after a while, we decided to go look for food. I remember we stopped by a bakery too.

Ganya, no picture, guys. You gonna have to take my word for it.

After the bakery, we went to the restaurant not on my itinerary.

I think this is the same place. Hmm..I think it is the same place.

ada cat

but it's halal food, so teruskan ja. there were actually lots of halal restaurant in Itaewon and mostly indian or arabic cuisine. but I wanted Korean style, so that was why I insisted in going to the Hajj.

The tteobokki was awesome! not so padas.

The ahjumma, who didn't really look like an ahjumma was very chatty. She speak little English but she tried her best. I appreciate her effort to made us feel welcome.
She is also a Korean muslim.

I think we spent almost 2-3 hours there. I also think we just wanted to sit down LOL guys, our legs were like jelly at this point.

Of course we have to leave, got another place to visit.

but we stopped by a LINE Store which we accidentally come across. I mean,  I played LINE Play guys. I have to stop here.

For more pictures from LINE Store, check them out on my IG. 

I bought these two; Tri-Color Pen and a mouse pad.

We went to Insadong next and it was starting to get dark when we arrived.

this was where I bought most of my souvenir. 😆 I really like that authentic tourist souvenir shops.

Not my picture

We found this place also. Which I saw in picture during my initial research but thought I might not find it. but what do you know?

I didn't take picture of the exact shop but I bought my Little Prince picture from here.

coz it reminds me of Jonghyun and the story behind The Little Prince is also beautiful.

It was a really unique shopping place/area. It was nothing fancy but I still like the feel to it. Glad we came across it.

and that is the end of Day 4.

come back tomorrow for final Day in Seoul.

See you.

annyeong~~
