Long Overdue

Hello people,
miss me?
Bet you do.

What have I been doing? Nothing important.
Mostly I've been lazying around.
Per usual.
☜-(ΘLΘ)-☞

but I should share with you this;

I am back into planning my birthday trip to Japan. next year.

YAY ME ＼(▽￣＼(￣▽￣)／￣▽)／

It was supposed to be a solo trip.

It could still end up that way.

We'll see.

For now, I am planning this like it is still my birthday solo trip!

I know, some may asked, "Bukan ko kan ke Korea first kh?" 
maybe. 
But I thought long and hard on that. 
then I realized, my love for Harry Potter is far more greater than for Korea. ┌( ಠ‿ಠ)┘

Besides, after Key posted the above picture, I JUST. HAVE. TO. GO. THERE. TOO.

see? still SHINee related mission. hahaha 

I swear, if Hogwarts theme park kena open di Universal Studio Singapore, I'll be going to Singapore, at least, yearly. hahaha Yes, I'm a crazy potterhead.

No matter what, I will see this trip thru. On my birthday. I will make it happen!

. . .

a/n: First thing first; I need to buy that pod thingy for solo-ist trip selfies.

Vacation

Day 9: Vacation

this had to be the laziest of doodle in the history of laziest doodle.

LOL

But since I'm flying in a few more days to Manila, I mean, why not draw Philippines flag, right?

and also,

I think I am coming down with a fever; runny nose, sore throat, sneezes like what, just, minus the fever.

I know I should be happy (YAY CUTI SAKIT!) but I am so malas to go to the clinic to take MC (a medical certificate stating you are unfit to go to work) so, I don't know. we will see tomorrow. 
It must be that durian I ate this morning. I'm not a durian person normally but it was sitting there on our kitchen floor, half opened and I just opened the other half. 
and later towards the day, I drank a lot of carbonated drinks. 
hmm...this almost reminds me of those days when all I wanted was to get sick and I did a lot of shits just to get myself sick. hahahah
but seriously, this time, it wasn't intentional. 
After I realized what I've done (with the carbonated drinks), I've pushed myself to drink a lot of plain water. I just finished a medium sized bottle and now on to the big bottle.
Not that it wouldn't be fun not to go to work tomorrow but I'm flying in a few days time and I don't want to be worried about body scan and what not at the airport when I'm still recovering from my fever. trust me, I know. I was sick on my way home from England last time and it was during the H1N1 out break. -.- You can call me paranoid. 

Ok, buat karangan panjang jua lah disini ani... LOL

imma go now. trying to draw tomorrow's D10: OOTD. I don't usually thought of OOTD. so, this is gonna be a challenge (no pun intended ;P)

Singapore Trip part 2

Day 2.

We woke up early and quite easily on day 2.
Why?
Because it's Universal Studio Day!!!

and it was Onew's socks day too! xD

the theme park actually opens at 10:30am but since we haven't purchase the tickets, we need to go to the counter at 8:30am when it opens. which was what we did. We woke up at maybe 6:30am, got ready and left our hotel by 7:30(ish)am.

Happy faces.

After we bought the tickets, we waited around Vivo City like lost puppies (it was too early. kadai pun alum buka except for McD at which we had our breakfast :D It was McD kinda trip).

And before we know it, we were excitedly queuing to Enter by 10:30am.

(had to cover my cute tummy wehwehwehweh)

 
the excitement was overwhelming, like you want to play everything all at once. hahah but of course, we took it once step at a time. We split up; i went with Zawir and Bazilah went with her nephew.

Here are some of the pictures I took after each game I played or each ride I took. how ever you want to phrase it. (I am just too lazy to load that many)

 TRANSFORMERS The Ride: The Ultimate 3D Battle at Sci-Fi City.

 Canopy Flyer at The Lost World (Jurassic Park)

 Dino-Soarin at at The Lost World (Jurassic Park)

 Enchanted Airways at Far Far Away (Shrek). this is a junior roller coaster ride.

 King Julien's Beach Party-Go-Round at Madagascar.

Sesame Street Spaghetti Space Chase at New York.

 Revenge of the Mummy at Ancient Egypt. This is an awesome roller coaster ride!

(note: definitely my fav part of the entire park ;D 

I grew up watching The Mummy and The Mummy Return over and over again :P)

 Treasure Hunters at Ancient Egypt.

Lights, Camera, Action! Hosted by Steven Spielberg at New York.

 this one was kinda like stumbled upon last minute. time kami kan balik.

Pinocchio at Far Far Away.

about the only Character I managed to take picture with. but at least ada.

(and somewhat related to kpop. LOL hint: f(x)'s Pinocchio)

The Rockafella at New York.

this one lagi tah by luck. When we got out of Lights, Camera, Action we heard commotion and cheered that we just had to check it out. and Lucky we did. these guys are awesome B-Boys and insanely funny. Zawir got the jis of it. LOL

a/n: I know, selfie galore. Sorry viewers. (NOT! hahaha)

We finally met up again for lunch before we continue on with few more rides and actions to see. We ate Oasis Spice Cafe. It stated in the map that they serve halal food. So, kami pun dengan kebulurnya, tarus masuk and order. the price of the food was surprisingly, normal-expensive. AND portion nya banyak berabis! hahah kami tu worried yg it'd be over our budget. but luckily, not. So, happy tummy!

Continuing on~

Zawir went into the Transformer The Ride thrice while I went in twice.
 the second time we went in, we were all four. The four of us also went in together to watch the Shrek 4-D Adventure (Bazilah's and nephew's second time) and last but not least, together we went into the Madagascar: A Crate Adventure (this ride is like a calm version of water log ride).

After that, we had some last minute shopping for souveniars and took selfies 

(of course) before finally exiting the theme park. Because we don't want to leave just yet, we stroll around the outside area, taking more pictures and lepak-ing for awhile at this sorta abandon swimming pool.

Zawir went gaga.

Our intial plan was to stay until night falls but since the park was only opened until 7pm that day, we didn't get to stay till night time. at least we stayed until closing time.

and I played most of the game! my personal aim! I wanted so much to play the big roller coaster (which I don't know the name of) because it was under maintainence. I also didn't play the Accelerator (a ride like the tea-pot thingy where it just whirled round and round). but I am still happy with my achievement to play all the rides. I missed Water World action reenactment.Bazilah and her nephew seen it.

OH! I should mention; you need to take the theme park map and entertainment schedule as you entered. 

they are a lot of help for you to make full use of your time to enjoy Universal. YOU MUST!

if on day 1 we were exhausted, it was a lot worst on day 2. We even continued shopping di Bugis Junction after we freshen up from Universal. LOL we that hardcore shopper!!

Singapore Trip part 1

As promised, here is the brief of my short but packed trip to Singapore last 19th Jan-22nd Jan with Zawir, Bazilah and her nephew, Malik.

Day 1.

Since we landed at Changi Airport around 3pm and took a half an hour rest after that, we already decided that we won't do anything extreme on Day 1. Our planned was to go to Vivo City to purchase the Universal Studios tickets and then maybe stroll around Bugis Junction afterwards. But we didn't manage to buy the tickets when we arrived at Vivo City. Instead, I spent my first dollars on a mobile line (a/n: Internet there so fast, man! like, 4G and all. cheaper too. Normally, it'll take a few second (if connection is not being an ass) to refresh Instagram but when I was using that Singapore line, it just refresh. just. like. that. in nano seconds kali) and food.

my first try on fish cake korean style. it's so cute and pink. my new favorite color. LOL but really the yummiest. 

We walked a few floors up and found Smiggle. 

apa lagi, shopping lerrr.


After Vivo City, we went back to our hotel to drop our little shopping back and went down again to search for Bugis Junction (we stayed at Marrison Hotel in Bugis btw) and was surprised that Bugis Junction was sooooo near to our Hotel.

macam, TADA!

Our only aimed here was to find food to tapau for dinner but before that we just walked around stopping at random shops. 

we didn't get into many though coz after Zawir's yogurt, shops were shutting down on us as it was already closing time. So, in the end we just settled to finding dinner.

we ended up buying food from McDonalds. I bought chicken grilled salad. LOL macam, banyak2 makanan, di sana jua lah kami pigi but as some shop served non-halal food, we were just being cautious.

We were exhausted already by the time kami sampai hotel. Me and Bazilah shared a room. We talked non-stop, even when one of us was in the bathroom (because the room was so small and the bathroom was so near, there was no need to shout to talk to each other that way LOL). we were so ..nonsense. LOL I guess we were just excited. when it was time for bed, we watched a movie and kept telling each other that we need to sleep coz we need to wake up early the next day (like at 7am! on a vacation!) but we didn't sleep until it was well past 1am. hahaha I guess we were just too excited.

to be continued...

21st Sep

I know, I know. took me awhile. 
I was just ...lazy.

LOL

but here I am!

So, final day in KL and we didn't really do much but woke up early, paid the hotel and left for KLIA2 at 9:00am.

the journey was a lot shorter somehow.

when we finally arrived at the airport, first thing we looked for was the restroom. LOL

Pastu baru th kami cari our check-in counter. After we found it (since kami early and belum check-in time yet), we go an find food for breakfast. Yup, inda kami sampat breakfast di hotel ah.

I chose this Irish restaurant, Irish Sandwich Cafe.

Bazilah just tagged along. hehe thanks Buzz for melayan-ing this Irish-at-heart woman. (wawawa)

the club sandwich was tasty (sorry nada picture) but what I loved the most was the Tea. Irish Breakfast Tea it was called. It was a black tea (i think) fused with Toffee (or was it caramel?)! 

super delicious! and seriously I can't get over it even now (nasib ada Tea Box di Brunei ani and they have Irish Milk Tea beverage. So, that can compensate my craving for the O'Briens' Tea).

Continuing on ...

We finished breakfast and I decided to go and searhed for the famous (not really. but I'm always a season behind all the famous things :P) Fipper slippers. After dari sana, I went and stopped by F.O.S. again. LOL sampat lah jua ku last minit shopping. 

then, baru th time to check-in our luggage and we straight away pass immigration into waiting to boarding.

Since the KLIA2 is fairly new, the inside was a little, boring. not much to see. but Brunei's gate had the CurryPuff place right in front of it which we didn't bother to stop by because we kenyang already. We ended up exploring the new boarding place. took some pictures.

a male Orang Putih offered to take picture of me and Buzz. We said 'It's ok' coz lets face it, how often do you meet someone who offered to help? Kami kira kekajutan and said 'it's ok'. it would've been nice if we say 'yeah, sure. thanks' but that didn't happen and we ended up with having individual pictures saja. LOL

the time came and we boarded the plane. we enjoyed the service they provided on this flight better than when we departed from Brunei to KL. we ordered food and enjoyed brownies.

and as often, time fly fast when you're having fun and soon enough we landed in Brunei.

Our brief holiday/vacation ended there.

It was the first time I ever go anywhere by plane with just one companion and it wasn't at all bad or scary. It felt normal. It made me feel or think about my next trip with just my sister (coz we once planned on going either to KL or Singapore just us two but the husband was worried and we ended up going to Miri saja with her husband tagging along. LOL)!

. . .

NEXT? 

Singapore baby! 
in January 2015.
USS! 
and
Panda!
and
more shopping!! LOL
yes, Zawir, shopping!

18th Sep

Hello lovely people.

I decided to just post this now before I procrastinate again. :D

So, I went for a leisure (and in my head; SHOPPING!) trip to Kuala Lumpur on the 18th Sep - 21st Sep with Bazilah. 

We arrived at our hotel and finally into our room at around 8:30pm. we lived at Capitol Hotel, Bukit Bintang. (Bisai lah this hotel, turun saja, there's Starbucks, a burger place, 7Eleven, Low Yat Plaza, BB Plaza too. and within a walking distant to Fahrenheit 88, Lot 10 and Pavilion)

Once we rehat and settled sekajab, we went straight to Pavilion.

Bazilah shopped at MAC for her mother's compact powder. 

Then we went to find food coz we so hungry balum makan since 3pm++ (we didnt eat on the plane). We decided to eat at Subway. Sandwich yumminess!

We searched for Sketchers store afterwards (we were rushing; it was almost closing time) coz I wanted to buy the shoes that was similar to Onew's (don't judge me, please) but nada that shoe. I shrugged it off and said I'll look for it tomorrow. at some other mall.

Because of all the constructions going on around Bukit Bintang, we got lost on our way home. I was mostly worried coz it was just us two. It wasn't deserted though the place that we past thru, but I was cautious. when we finally walked out of an alley, We saw Nandos and since I've been craving for Nandos chicken for SO. LONG. I decided that we should rest for awhile there and Googled our way back to the hotel. Bazilah Googled while I ordered for take-aways. when our food was ready, we went out again and lucky I recognized a certain parking lot and convinced Bazilah to just walked down that road to our hotel. Alhamdulillah, finally kejumpahan tah jua hotel kami ani. Sikit lagi ku panic attack bah. LOL

Sudah di Hotel atu, we freshened up and eat our Nandos. 

hahah tangah2malam lah jua kami mengasak makanan atu and chit chatting till maybe around 1am++  then soon enough, Day 1 was over.

I didn't sleep till 4am in the morning though. Normal plang tu. For me at least. I always have a hard time sleeping in a 'new' place.

What I like most that from Day 1 was that I didn't think about work. at. all. 

and before I end this post, this is how the room looked like;

 ada tuk iron baju. I was thinking on renting them before I came that day. turns out kena provide for use. awesomeness!

and a real space saver; that complimentary drinks/boiling-water-kettle/cawan were all put in the almari.

I forgot to take picture of the bathroom. Hose/Pipe water was provided near the toilet. a must for Bruneian, I guess. LOL thumbs up for that.

It was a very comfy stay.

 . . .

A/N: Day 2 is up next. 

. . .
