I believe today is White Day

14h March 2018

I think today is a White Day.

*starts Googling*
Yup, today is White Day.

I am only reading the difference between White Day and Valentine Day in Japan. where on V-day, Girls give Guys chocolate or things, while on White Day, Guys give Girls chocolate or things.

If you wanna know more, click here for White Day and here for Valentine Day.
all are for reading purposes only.

Anyway,
I'm not sure what to post at the moment.
I have a lot to get out of my chest.

I have 2 drafts on here that I need to post pranto.
The reason why they are still in Draft mode is because, I composed them when I was angry and fed up. So, I'm still contemplating whether I should re-write or post them as it is.

Decisions~ decisions~

Hmmm...

what else to mention?

I have a wand!

#WandsReady

and I am ready for FantasticBeast: The Crimes of Grindelwald!



but the movie is not until November 2018. *mata ke atas*

at least that's one thing to look forward to before this year ends.

hmmmm...

I shall end this post here.

until the next post, ciao~

Me is backk

3 more days and it would be a month since my last post.

Hi guys!
I am back! and I just got back from my Japan trip yesterday too.

before I post anything about the trip, lets get a few 'Lesson Learn' out of the way.

1. you might want to study your flight time before you buy them. Ours had a layover of over 12 hours before we finally fly off to Japan and thats another 8 hours. THE WAITING WAS UNBEARABLE!



2. buy data line, rent pocket wi-fi, etc at the airport when you arrived. utmost important!
We didn't. and it was hard trying to find our hotel without the internet. we didn't even have a map. and none of us can read Kenji! nasib ada a paci and an uncle sudi to help us lost ladies. ahahaha

3. you might want to check the nearest train station (if thats your main transport) to your hotel AND place of destination. It might say on Agoda that "20mins from this destination to that destination" In reality, we stayed at a hotel that was 5 to 7 stops away from our wanted destination. *ketawa sampai keluar air mata* its not even funny.

4. Jangan malu bertanya. Kalau inda tau, tanya. If you didn't ask, the answer will always be 'No'. 
Just ask, When in doubt, ask. People in Japan are very helpful. Some are more friendlier than others but they still help. You may look dumb to them but hey, you're a visitor. you don't live there. you are bound to not know about stuff. What I like about Japan is that even when they do not speak English well, they still try their hardest and best to help you. its very touching.

5. I don't know about you but my best choice for footwear was my Fipper, the currently famous flip flop in Brunei. 



I wore shoes the day I fly to Japan (8th and 9th), and then when I was in Universal Studio Japan (10th) and lastly, I wore it at Disneyland (12th). the rest, I just slipped on my flip flop. remember when I mentioned about how our hotel was far away from the train station? yeah, I walked a lot and I'm telling you now that I never walked so much in my life! thus my feet hurt like hell hence the wearing comfortably of the flip flop.

I might be missing some more points but
I think that is all for now.
I will add some more in the next post if I came across one along the way.

Until next time, 
ciao~

Obsess - Pre Japan Trip

I've been neglecting my Japan trip research. 

I didn't do it on purpose. I was dead busy at the office since before puasa, and then raya lagi and now. I would love to tell you in details over this 'busy-ness' but I realized, it's a waste of time telling story about my ngaleh-ness to someone who doesn't understand what it's like to be working in a 'processing' office. 

So, yeah.

Let's move on.

Someone mentioned about how I never talked about the Japan trip anymore and that made me realized, I should start again.

because (I just check and almost freaked out!) Japan trip is 45 days to go.

Last night (Saturday 23rd July, Daniel Radcliffe birthday BTW), I was supposed to be planning my 'Countdown' posts but I got bored. 

at first, I did the research in between composing the Countdown post but after a while, I found out that, doing my itinerary is far more exciting than doing my 'Countdown' post hahahaha

(my Countdown post for throwback-to-24th-Jul-2014 was done the entire afternoon of Sunday, 24th)

So,

I was mostly reading reviews the entire time I was Googling.

I search about whether or not we should buy the JR Pass (train ticket)

• a colleague (who recently just got back from Japan) said, buying transportation passes on the go is alright too, especially when you already know where to go.
• from one of the reviews I read, JR pass is, like, taking-the-easy-way-out kinda tix.
• another review said I should do more research on transportation passes but they are certain that not buying the JR pass is an OK thing.

hmmm

• and just now I found another review that said JR pass is cheaper.

So, I used Google Map to check the train route (did you know this Google map is so awesome?! it shows the cost as well!) and when I calculate the individual train tix (just train tix, excluding subways and bus fares) the total is BND396 where as the 7days JRpass cost around BND378.

I know the difference here is BND18 saja. 

One review did say yg the JRpass doesn't cover all areas but the places that I'm going to have JRpass access to them (as far as my research goes lah ah).

this is so stressful.

stressful because I'm obsessing!

no wonder I gave this a rest when I did. 

coz, Imagine me being stress out over my work and then stressing out over this itinerary stuff - people will hate me! 

hahaha

I should sleep. 

and continue this tomorrow during lunch break

muahahaha!

. . .

no picture attached coz I duno what picture I should attach; me eating my hair or the map of Japan.

Brilliant Idea

Hello everyone!
It's me, Az Nuur.

I just had this brilliant idea that I wana do for the rest of my posts this year;

doing a 'throw back' post until the 6th Dec 2016!

Why, you might ask? Why on the 6th?

Well, if you didn't know, that was the day I created this blogspot account.

the idea came when I was 'calculating' (using calculator of course *roll eyes* working in a bank does not guarantee your excellence to do math in your head) how many posts i should post for the remaining months left in 2016 so that I could have 1000th post by end of this year.

So, I went thru my 'archives' and found out when I created this account (on the 6th Dec 2008!) but I was not active until Mar 2009. you can go check the validity of my story on the right *points to the right corner of this blog page*

SEKALI!

teklik tah ku!

why not I do

Countdown To 1000th sempena my 8th anniversary with blogspot

*throws confetti*

I'm not gona repost any of my old post. I'm mostly gona highlight them, you know, like those throw back thursday kinda thing. (or was it Throw Back Sundays?)

I'm still gona be posting my normal blog updates.

this brilliant idea is mostly to motivate me to post more.
and a reason to use my surpluses of Planner I got from last years
and maybe (JUST MAYBE) I can start to 'manage' my life better while doing stuff that i jot down
instead of procrastinating stuff n shit
OR instead of forever lazying around

yeah, those are good enough reason for me to end this post and start 'planning'

LET'S DO THIS!

Colors!!

I like the newly updated iTunes' icon on my laptop and also the Music App's icon on my iPhone. very, colorful. like Paddlepop Ice Cream. yum!

Music icon on my iPhone now look like this;

(not my pic)

and when you played it, it looks like this.

Previously they looked like this

Icon on my laptop looks like this now

(my cropped printscreen)

and previously it looked like this

(not mine)

the 'inside' looks the same as the last two versions.

I guess why I was so happy making this post was because internet connection was being nice to me and I downloaded and installed the updated version in one try. Thank you internet connection. Pls be nice all the time too.

a/n: Mom's birthday today. Saengil Chukahae umma~!
