I decided to do a home swab test and it turned out negative but the pain just won't go away.</p><p>So off I went to the hospital and my doctor diagnosed me as having quite an episode of throat infection (there were many white spots on my throat which explained the pain) and she sent me home with a bag of antibiotics, paracetamol and flu meds.</p><p>Home I went and for the next three days, I had the worst fever ever!</p><p>I couldn't even stand on my own and had to be helped to the bathroom. I could only eat white bread during the whole time. My bed was my life guys!</p><p>But I still husnuzon as I had experience this kinda fever a few years back. Only that this time the fever came with a package of sore throat, cough and flu.</p><p>I had no suspicion of me having Covid 19 or anything like that though at that time, I felt really sick (mind you during the whole three days, I even do another four home swab tests and they all came back negative!). </p><p>Then on the fourth day, my family and I decided to do PCR as we all started to develop symptoms. Everyone was coughing left and right. Yes guys, do take note when you started coughing or having sore throat. That might be the earliest indicator of what's coming next.</p><p>So what's coming next? POSITIVE PCR results! Yup, turned out my family and I were having Covid 19 after all.</p><p>And here I thought I'm going to be the answer to all humankind to fight off the virus. Terciduk sudah diriku dengan Covid 19 guys!</p><p>That is how my two and a half years of cheating Covid 19 came to a halt. I finally joined the alumni of Covid 19 survivors.</p><p>I am thankful to my family and friends who have been really supportive and shared many tips on how to survive Covid 19.</p><p>Here I'd like to share a few tips that worked for me so far:</p><p>1. Load up on lemon, clove and natural honey. Make a warm glass (yes glass. Not cup. NOT enough) of perahan sebiji lemon, tiga ke lima biji cloves and a spoonful of honey. Drink it daily. It'll help to legakan pernafasan and cairkan kahak/lendir.</p><p>2. If you have diffuser and essential oils, diffuse day and night! My choices of EOs to diffuse include Clove, Eucalyptus Radiata, Eucalyptus Globulus and Peppermint. I also sapu Peppermint on my chest before going to sleep. It helps me sleep (as I can't sleep baring macam biasa sebab hidung congested and batuk, so I had to double my pillows. Therefore having these oils help to ease my breathing and make me feel more comfortable).</p><p>3. Get some fresh air and early morning sun. Berjemur kejap antara pukul 8 ke 9 pagi cmtu. Take in as much oxygen and natural Vitamin D as you can.</p><p>4. EAT! I know this one is hard coz Covid 19 can make some of us lose our sense of taste and smell. I myself lost my deria rasa and bau on my fourth @ fifth day but I decided to ignore that and just eat. As I had already kurang makan for the first three days, I don't want to waste time and allow my body to grow weaker. So I ate. I ordered whatever I feel like eating and at the same time, I also eat lots of citrus fruits to boost my immune system.</p><p>5. Sanitize your bed daily. Every morning after I bangun tidur, I'll open my bedroom window and sanitize my bed, comforter and pillows with Dettol spray. If you have air filter/purifier, that is much better. Set it to turbo to help clean and circulate the air.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9O3Pymdfg6570xT0kcZCpaczGE1aA7gB5ohs-3VlfyP8Y9BGvTzpkUbDDPLc17I25Cm-7Ou69evyEPeOwiTo9vhlgFnD9cqu7E01kLM0mQZa60ABUe5fj4ajXUFVaOXrjw0MV8hvBQsuTjWbyAO5MB7vlyPQL2lIg0GM25OLbi-d1bl99Gwe5Rriz6w/s3632/image0.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3632" data-original-width="2565" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9O3Pymdfg6570xT0kcZCpaczGE1aA7gB5ohs-3VlfyP8Y9BGvTzpkUbDDPLc17I25Cm-7Ou69evyEPeOwiTo9vhlgFnD9cqu7E01kLM0mQZa60ABUe5fj4ajXUFVaOXrjw0MV8hvBQsuTjWbyAO5MB7vlyPQL2lIg0GM25OLbi-d1bl99Gwe5Rriz6w/s320/image0.jpeg" width="226" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">My Aidiladha with cousins.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Little did I know a few days after this photo was taken, I'll be down with Covid 19.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Subhanallah~Allah is the best planner.</div><p>I think what I have learned (and still learning) most from this experience is to always think positive and organize my (read: negative) thoughts.</p><p>As someone who is really anxious when it comes to anything health-related, it can be very challenging to control my thinking to not think of the worst in this kinda situation.</p><p>But I try my best to focus on improvements, even small ones. </p><p>For instance, when I woke up on day four and I no longer have fever, I focus on that. I focus on the positive outcome.</p><p>Though I am still recuperating (I mean it is a slow and steady process), just trust the process and put faith in your ability to bounce back from Covid 19.</p><p>InsyaAllah with all the ikhtiar done (vaccinations, booster injection, social distancing, keeping our living space clean, etc), things will get better.</p><p>I wish everyone who's reading this will always be in the protection of Allah SWT.

DON'T BE LIKE COVID-19!<p>Assalamualaikum</p><p>I have relocated to Jekarda gaez!</p><p style="text-align: left;">Alhamdulillah after 4 months being here, I have finally settled down in my apartment.</p><p>I still can't believe that I am thousands of miles away from home and tbh, I feel kinda okay (bet it must gotta be because of the fact that I'm on leave from work. You know, no work, no stress).</p><p>But yeah, so far so good.</p><p>Though I'm still not used with the local way of doing many things. I'm learning each day and I'm enjoying the process (but it does require A LOT OF PATIENCE).</p><p>Some days are better than the others so I take one day at a time.</p><p>However I'm sad about leaving my cats behind. But they seem to be doing okay with my mom (in fact wayyy better than just okay. They seem happy whenever I video called my mom and my mom would show them jumping and running around without any care. THE AUDACITY! I cry for them on daily basis ok).</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGvx0XVf3I3f9MUEIGsS8WzwmlbtuN4zftJk5lywzyRTXiRF8cNMQ8FlV-Q60dYFTkzQ1Y_cVbn6rgHdPopipeVm9uUSJRWxD_r2oQHK5xl7fEi2hIvZlxLvqdvoFcivKPxMUP5_pUvaA5/s2016/image2.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2016" data-original-width="1512" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGvx0XVf3I3f9MUEIGsS8WzwmlbtuN4zftJk5lywzyRTXiRF8cNMQ8FlV-Q60dYFTkzQ1Y_cVbn6rgHdPopipeVm9uUSJRWxD_r2oQHK5xl7fEi2hIvZlxLvqdvoFcivKPxMUP5_pUvaA5/s320/image2.jpeg" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">A cat I made friend with during a house viewing.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Super friendly I almost brought him home but the owner came looking for him.

She's well fed and plump. My heart is happy.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;">I do miss my cats a lot but I have no idea when I can go back to Malaysia in this current Covid-19 situation. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">When I first found out that I'll be posting abroad and it's gonna be to Indonesia, I was glad because I thought it'll be easy peasy for me to just hop on a two-hour flight to go back home but now there's Covid-19 in picture, everything became complicated and mandatory quarantine for both Malaysia and Indonesia sides are damn expensive.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Sooooo yeah guys. I guess I won't be going back home any time soon. *sigh*</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Anyways, after more than a year living with Covid-19, my take from this catastrophe would be that everyone is struggling to survive each day. May it be struggling physically, mentally, spiritually, emotionally, financially, there are a lot of struggles involved. Indeed we are all going through a really trying time right now.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Sadly, I have been "accused" of by some of my so-called friends that I may not be affected by Covid-19 as much as others. That was kinda heart breaking for me and I think it's pretty unfair because you can't simply judge people's struggles when you were not even part of their daily life.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Of course I smiled and seemed happy in my social media feeds. Like why would I posted a crying photo of myself? (Not judging those who do) But that doesn't mean that I have it easier compared to others. And I myself would not dare to say that to others too cuz I have no freaking idea about their lives.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">If your friends share their stories on losses of people around them after you shared about yours, that doesn't mean that they are not acknowledging yours. It just means that your friends want to share the burden of losing people from their lives too.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">And the idea of shaming people who are trying to enjoy little things in their lives in the midst of pandemic, that should STOP. For me as long as you're not breaching the Covid-19 SOP, by all means, do enjoy the time you have left with your loved ones.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Cuz life is short guys.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Let people enjoy.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Let people live their live.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">What I'm trying to say is that why don't us all be kinder to one another and stop being too harsh. We never know what they are battling on the inside of their heart.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Because everyone is missing their loved ones. And some might even be missing those who are no longer around due to Covid-19.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Don't let this pandemic ruins more than it already has.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Don't let the distance keeps you from strengthening the bond within your family.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Don't let your friendships break over small things.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Reconnect.

Nothing new. Covid-19 is still around more than ever), this title is still suitable with my current mood & situation.</p><p>Alhamdulillah I finally got my long awaited break from work.</p><p>And no, not because of the working from home thingy due to Covid-19. That is a whole other story. Long story short, WFH is not fun at all.</p><p>So the deal is I am now officially 6 days into my unpaid leave! Yippee yeay!</p><p>Ok I know, this is not my first time taking unpaid leave from work. In fact this is my third time already (I think).</p><p>I have taken so many unpaid leave in the past (due to my many health issues. My fam & close friends know why) that taking it now seems trivial.</p><p>Only that this time I am taking it longer and most probably won't be seeing office and works for quite some times. Boy, do I be glad yo!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPf3r_iU36DAzLcCCEEnaHfnyPuBBjaa6O89m3-bnn-BwcVaVJE7AIFkoc5bXRYy3ju5oofbfCfeLBbfQM_V4xhezwNyNT2ACRa4x6NxW68MTAZPxli_A7g6gE18wd-AXIchq-AlyqOcuJ/s2048/210202_1.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPf3r_iU36DAzLcCCEEnaHfnyPuBBjaa6O89m3-bnn-BwcVaVJE7AIFkoc5bXRYy3ju5oofbfCfeLBbfQM_V4xhezwNyNT2ACRa4x6NxW68MTAZPxli_A7g6gE18wd-AXIchq-AlyqOcuJ/s320/210202_1.jpeg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Fudgy being as pretty as a princess. Oh wait, Fudgy IS a princess.</div><p>I have so many plans for my time off from work this time.</p><p>There are tonnes of books waiting to be finished since, erm I don't know, 2018 maybe? I have a bad habit of keep buying more books even though the ones at home are still wrapped with plastic. Well, there is no more better time than now to do the readings.</p><p>This blog is also in much needed attention. I have been secretly feeling jealous of my past self for being able to write lots of entries whenever my past self wanted too (mostly in 2013 when I first started blogging). Main reason is not free time, I think, coz I do have free time sometime but I am usually too tired and drained @ penat otak from work. So I guess faktor usia, no? Wtv the reason is, now I hope I'll be more inspired to write.</p><p>I also plan to master my cooking skill. So far so good. I wouldn't say I love being in the kitchen and cooking up a feast or stuffs. But I do love cooking for my fam (friends belum berani lagi. Takut kena lahar kalau tak sedap. Ahahahahh). So yeah, this ample free time I plan to cook more and eat more and force more people to taste my masterpieces. Hoho.</p><p>Anyway, in my previous entry, I wrote about waiting for my boss's Covid-19 test result. Alhamdulillah the result was negative. </p><p>A few weeks ago my cousin tested positive. I was so worried about my cousin and his fam and also my mom who lives next door to them. Thanks to Allah, my cousin already sembuh and the rest of his fam weren't infected. So is my mom.</p><p>It is scary how Covid-19 is not a joke and yet people, yang tak pernah ada orang terdekat dorang yang tested positive, still nak memperlekehkan dan pandang ringan this Covid-19.</p><p>It's real guys. Covid-19 is REAL!</p><p>Stay at home and don't simply happy-happy keluar jalan-jalan like old times. There's no more old times for now. We are living in the era of Covid-19 pandemic . Lantak laa PKP ke PKPB ke PKPP ke PKPD ke or whats not, kita yang kena jadi pandai & celik dengan keadaan semasa.</p><p>Just because no one close to you or yourself tested positive, doesn't mean the pandemic isn't there.</p><p>If you really have to go out, wear your mask PROPERLY. And bring along hand sanitizer and use them frequently. I know, the alcohol makes your tangan kering, the mask makes you suffocate, but it is WAY BETTER than kena Covid-19 guys. Or worse, bawak balik Covid-19 kat fam from golongan berisiko.</p><p>I just hope that people who haven't take this issue seriously would change their mindset. Together, we can fight this. Rindu kan nak jalan-jalan macam dulu-dulu?</p><p>Panjang pulak Pesanan Khidmat Masyarakat pasal Covid-19. So back to the title of my entry, yas, I am now a few weeks (or days) away from moving out of my comfort zone.</p><p>I don't think it is time for me to reveal the details yet but I do hope you guys who are reading this entry boleh sama-sama tolong doakan for all my urusan supaya dipermudahkanNya. </p><p>InsyaAllah my life will go through a huge transition and I'll be relocating soon. So prayers for things to go well and as planned.</p><p>I am hopeful for this change.

Well, there are so many causes to begin with but especially because of the Covid-19 pandemic.</p><p>What is Covid-19?</p><p>Well, it's a scary virus that just keeps on evolving and mutating while attacking many. </p><p>It is sneaky and you never know when it's near and suddenly it is too late, you're already contracted by it.</p><p>And worst, it is a global pandemic and every country around the world are currently struggling to fight it including us here in Malaysia.</p><p>Tbh I have lost count how many phases of Movement Control Order (MCO) we have been in, so lets say maybe now we are in our 6th or 7th phase of MCO, I think.</p><p>Since March, I have gone through 3 times of swab tests due to countless reasons (close contact, to be warded into a hospital therefore it's one of the procedures, to organize an event with our King, YDPA).</p><p>Alhamdulillah all 3 of em was negative. But it was not a pleasant experience.</p><p>So now I am currently praying hard since this morning to not to have to go through with a 4th one. </p><p>Why another test? Coz I just found out today that one of my bosses at work is a close contact to a confirmed positive Covid-19 patient (their spouse to be exact).</p><p>Talking about a mood killer situation eh. </p><p>I have nothing but loads of prayer for my boss to be tested negative so that my colleagues and I do not have to go for swab test and can have our peace of mind.</p><p>My heart boutta explode when I heard about the news coz my mom and nenek are here with me and the last thing I want is for them to be exposed to this virus. </p><p>My sole reason for them to stay with me during this Conditional MCO (CMCO) is because I want them to be safe and protected. </p><p>And now, Idk.</p><p>I'm kinda frustrated actually.</p><p>Frustrated due to what? I can't pinpoint for sure. </p><p>Maybe with the situation. Maybe with the system. Maybe with people. Maybe with myself.</p><p>Or maybe with all of those.</p><p>Frustrated with myself because of my choice of career that forced me to work in the system with all these people thus exposed my loved ones to this kinda situation.</p><p>I know I sound like an immature and weak person.</p><p>Trust me, I realize that and I hate being that person, if asked some other time.</p><p>But now, I think I have the right to feel this coz I feel helpless.</p><p>Helpless people say things with their emotions and rn, my emotions are all over.</p><p>This is actually quite a composed form of words I'm using and I am proud of myself for being able to do so. </p><p>I look around. I see struggles everywhere.</p><p>Everyone is struggling. Yesterday. Today. Tomorrow. Every single day of this pandemic time.</p><p>People are suffering due to the virus. Directly and indirectly.</p><p>Some lost their loved ones from the virus.</p><p>Some lost their source of incomes because their companies can't sustained in times like now.</p><p>Some lost interest in doing their everyday routines coz they are drained (trust me, my future self, the world presently is really, really harsh and hard. It is definitely not for everyone).</p><p>Gee, I do sound like a depressed person rn.</p><p>Well, while waiting for my boss to inform us all about her Covid-19 swab test result (which hopefully can be known tomorrow or lusa), lets just pray for a better future. </p><p>Lets see what I'd like to pray for:</p><p>1. Covid-19 vaccines to be perfected real soon.</p><p>2. Happier and easier times for everyone.</p><p>3. My emotions to be collected once again.</p><p>4. Protection for my loved ones.</p><p>5. My boss's swab test to be negative (can't help but circle back to this. Please God).</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnseSJykkkMUv5W00_xvM3CL2iX0EwLPHF_BKK1FlKKPnhRTclkNVanyA-FsmLKSs_0-v5Q89VjlfVUtX-amG3niIj3Pzsx8T-6M6pue9Y8xsPvOoPtJxvPntAUx0lCtbQFtmvh-OeyNtF/s800/kidshelpphone.ca.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnseSJykkkMUv5W00_xvM3CL2iX0EwLPHF_BKK1FlKKPnhRTclkNVanyA-FsmLKSs_0-v5Q89VjlfVUtX-amG3niIj3Pzsx8T-6M6pue9Y8xsPvOoPtJxvPntAUx0lCtbQFtmvh-OeyNtF/s320/kidshelpphone.ca.png" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Source: KidsHelpPhone.ca</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Stay safe and strong everyone!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Salam menggemok and Toodles~</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Assalamualaikum and Mask up!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgIK4WN1ypAYExmrSOJcS8Z9AYgBxV_q-ts2Ntbzm8P6HvcZ3UgR_Kd2yjG5F8Tb3PEIPF0d1r2FmYowWv03HpmpXdNzm4yxr25AGL1kwpcchNf41N_n6_Y9gcZbnM8YjNsBO3NMHel1DS/s250/Blog+Signature+2017.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="83" data-original-width="250" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgIK4WN1ypAYExmrSOJcS8Z9AYgBxV_q-ts2Ntbzm8P6HvcZ3UgR_Kd2yjG5F8Tb3PEIPF0d1r2FmYowWv03HpmpXdNzm4yxr25AGL1kwpcchNf41N_n6_Y9gcZbnM8YjNsBO3NMHel1DS/s0/Blog+Signature+2017.png" /></a></div>si_arnabgemokhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05637540451351729900noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7765383455219694456.post-72829221536034321542020-02-04T17:50:00.001+08:002020-02-04T17:50:41.330+08:0064th: THE GLORIOUS 2020 IS HEREAssalamualaikum<div>

<div>
Dulu masa kecik-kecik selalu fikir lambatnya lagi nak tahun 2020. And now, we are finally here, man.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
For late 80s babies like me, basically we grew up with the phrase Wawasan 2020.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Masa Pendidikan Seni, confirmed every single one of us mesti pernah kena lukis "Sila bayangkan tahun 2020".</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Pastu gigih laa kau melukis kereta terbang, robot hidup di kalangan manusia, highway bertingkek-tingkek, orang pergi kerja pakai jet pack bagai (HAHA!). Jenuh mintak mak bapak masing-masing belikan water color jenama Buncho dengan drawing block berbuku-buku.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Macam ala-ala movie Tomorrowland. Serius sama. Cuba korang tengok movie tu and compare dengan lukisan tahun 2020 korang masa darjah 2 Bestari. :P</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Maybe gambaran kita untuk tahun 2020 tu jauh sama sekali tapi we did grow older and things do changed.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Dulu melukis kereta terbang sambil kesat hingus kat baju sekolah, sekarang menghadap komputer menaip assignment/kertas kerja yang tak sudah-sudah banyaknya.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Dulu gigih melakar guna pensel (sebab kalau warna terus pakai Buncho kau tu, konfem ke laut rupa lukisan), sekarang kemain kau ye melukis pakai stylus kat Note 10 yang dibeli guna pakej bayar bulan kat Celcom. Eyh~ahahahahahh.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Tapi apapun, alhamdulillah kita semua diberi kesempatan oleh Allah untuk merasa masih hidup dan menghirup udara tahun 2020.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Alfatihah buat kaum keluarga dan sahabat-sahabat kita yang telah pergi menghadap Ilahi terlebih dahulu. InsyaAllah we are also one step closer to them each day.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I wanna start this new year/decade with me reminiscing my memories from the previous decade.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The past decade is officially my busiest decade to date and it also witnessed me losing a few people who are very dear to me.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I lost Bapak and also one of my beloved bffs, Syu and her husband, Madi.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I graduated my Bachelor Degree in Public Relations (alhamdulillah Bapak sempat tengok I bawak balik segenggam ijazah).</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I scored my PTD exam and passed the interview. Then I became a PTD (I hope Bapak is still around when I got the job. He must have been so proud and happy).</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I brought Mama to travel abroad. First to Korea, then to Aussie, then to Indonesia and then Aussie again (she loves Aussie way too much :D ).</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I got married. Got pregnant twice but lost both due to miscarriage. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I got into Perkhidmatan Awam and served 3 Kementerian so far (Wisma Putra, Kementerian Kesihatan and Kementerian Wilayah Persekutuan).</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I met with so many ragam, perangai, hati budi people. Some lifted me up, some broke me down.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Sometimes it got scary where life brought me. But I am thankful for every experience I got from this roller coaster ride.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
For 2020, I wish nothing but the best.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
However, need to remind myself. The best may not be the easiest.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Standard laa kan, macam naik roller coaster. Mana ada mendatar or mencanak naik ke atas setiap masa, mesti akan konfem kena terjun junam ke bawah jugak kan.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
But that what makes the ride fun. If not, baik laa naik basikal pusing-pusing taman perumahan kau je kan.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So my mantra this year (and selagi mampu diriku ini) is:</div>
<div>
<b style="background-color: #ffe599;">THE BEST IS NOT ALWAYS THE EASIEST</b>.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Maka, bertahanlah wahai seorang Syazwani.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Though my feet are killing me during this photo taken,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I just brave through it and put my best game face on.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Because takde kerja yang senang dalam dunia ni.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Cuma ada ketabahan hati dan jiwa.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Tibahhh~</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Also to everyone, you guys can do it too!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If all these years we can, for sure the next decade, we STILL can!!!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And, do take care everyone for sekarang ni musim Coronavirus. Get plenty of rest, drink lots of plain water, wash your hands regularly and keep hand sanitizer/antibacterial wet wipes close all the time.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Salam menggemok and Toodles~</div>

<br />
Though we just entered December, I gotta say I am so over 2019 already.<br />
<br />
This year has been really something for me.<br />
<br />
So many going ons, physically and emotionally.<br />
<br />
But then again, who am I kidding right?<br />
<br />
Honestly, I have been saying I had tough year since, urm I donno, 2014?<br />
<br />
Part of me know what is my biggest struggle since the said year.<br />
<br />
And by God, the struggle ain't getting any easier.<br />
<br />
In fact, it's getting super hard each year.<br />
<br />
And I feel like I'm drowning most of the time. Like I'm losing my grip over my whole emotions.<br />
<br />
I don't really like to talk about my feelings much with people.<br />
<br />
I mean, "hate" would be a strong word to use but it is true.<br />
<br />
I hate confiding in people, not because I have trust issue. But I hate it when people say I am being a crybaby who is not grateful and to blind to see how blessed my life is.<br />
<br />
Cross my heart, I am super grateful. I count my blessings everyday and that what keeps me going.<br />

Frustration is like my new shadow. Echoing every step that I take each day.<br />
<br />
And what frustrates me more is when someone tell me I don't have the capacity to understand people who is going through a hard time.<br />
<br />
Because these people said I know nothing about hardship.<br />
<br />
My life seems easy, gliding like a piece of butter on a hot pan.<br />
<br />
Well yeah, lemme show you what a puddle of boiling butter can do.<br />
<br />
Just kidding. I am not a violent person. Or am I?<br />
<br />
KIDDINGGG!<br />
<br />
But guess what, I do wish my life IS easy. Like counting 1, 2, 3. Reciting A, B, C.<br />
<br />
TBH, I wish everyone's life is easy.<br />
<br />
Because I KNOW how hard it is to struggle each day.<br />
<br />
Fighting your own emotions can be really tiresome.<br />
<br />
But I believe even when the darkest days seem like forever, there will come brighter days that'll last even longer.<br />
<br />
And when those bright days come, all the struggles before will be worth it and simply make the bright days even brighter and sweeter.<br />
<br />
Woah, way to turn things around huh?<br />
<br />
I donno. Even when I feel down, I just don't wanna be a sourpuss.<br />
<br />
I am the kind of person who can start the day feeling gloomy but refuse to end it the same way.<br />
<br />
I believe there is a bigger perspective on life that we all should try to see (regardless of how hard it is).<br />
<br />
We just have to try.<br />
<br />
To me, life consists of a series of tests and trials that lead to a blissful ending, one fine day.<br />
<br />
But for now, I am with most of you guys out there, stuck along the series of super complex tests and trials.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is me during my series of tests and trials in the form of wearing braces.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had to endure this for almost 2 years.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I embraced through it and managed to get (an almost) perfectly aligned teeth.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I guess, super worth it eyh?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Think again, this might not be a good example of my hardship.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is why people say my life's like a piece of butter.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Wishing everyone to be blessed with a strong and beautiful heart to endure the hardship but never lose hope on the happy ending that awaits.</div>

Assalamualaikum</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As promised, I'm gonna share my laparoscopy experience in this post.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To those who haven't read the first part, do check it out here:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="https://siarnabgemok.blogspot.com/2019/10/61st-i-got-two-holes-in-my-belly-part-1.html" style="color: blue; font-weight: bold;" target="_blank">61st: I Got Two Holes On My Belly (Part 1)</a><b style="color: blue;"> </b>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
First thing first, let me do some disclaimer.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This is a personal experience of mine and it is not gonna be the same for everyone. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But I really hope that what I'm about to share can give extra courage to those who are going to undergo the same procedure.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As I have mentioned before, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/hamidarshat45/" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;"><b>Dr Hamid Arshat</b></span></a> advised me to undergo a laparoscopy procedure in order to get thorough view sebab masa initial scanning tak nampak any cyst or fibroid inside my uterus. But based on my monthly period pain, Dr Hamid said there must be some reasons as to why it happens so frequently.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It didn't take much (actually it didn't take anything at all except for Dr Hamid's words) to convince me to go under the knife (but laparoscopy procedure takde belah-belah pun so yeay me). Usually bila any doctor of mine suggested untuk apa-apa rawatan, I memang jenis setuju. I put my full trust on the doctors. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After dah set date for me to be warded (because I have insurance so Dr Hamid terus masukkan my name for queue at Hospital Pantai Bangsar. He will perform the procedure himself and I couldn't be happier to hear that), Dr Hamid's clinic will make arrangement with my insurance company and get my GL and everything. Guys, how convenience and helpful is that?? Alhamdulillah!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Before warded, I did a lot of readings on what is laparoscopy procedure and how it's done. I specifically Googled for Dr Hamid's past laparoscopy procedure patients' experiences.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I gained lots of new knowledge which is cool and also built courage to go through with the procedure which is way cooler.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I warded a day before the procedure and on that day, I was allowed to eat only until 10 pm and then kena puasa (both makan and minum) sampai lepas procedure which was scheduled tengah hari esoknya.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
On D-day, around after Subuh, a nurse came and gave me ubat untuk cuci usus. Based on my readings (remember, I Googled like a lot!), ramai yang berulang alik toilet sampe lebam. But for me, I just went twice and that was it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Macam ragu-ragu jugak. I was like "Erm, betul ke dah clear usus ni. Kang tengah nak masuk operation theater (OT) nak terberr, aiyooo naya!" so I kept on praying that embarrassing incident will not happen. Alhamdulillah it didn't. :D</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Around an hour before nak masuk OT, I was asked to change my clothes into an operation gown and cap. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Oh ya, the day before, my anesthetist came to visit and see my condition. He was so warm and friendly. He told me to get plenty of rest by sleeping early and worry nothing.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So back to the OT, he was the first (and only) doctor that I remember I saw before dozing off into deep slumber.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I think I woke up a bit early because I was still in the OT (ruang selepas operation). I am not sure but I remember being super gaggy (you know, rasa nak muntah yang amat and then macam tak boleh bernafas a bit because ada tiub yang dimasukkan dalam my tekak. To be honest, I was gasping for air a bit but thank you to the doctors and nurses who tended to me, all is well).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Everything was hazy as I was still in mamai state. Tapi I ingat nurse panggil-panggil nama I and asked me to stay awake. But (surprise, surprise) I couldn't. I tidur back until sampai wad.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then I saw my mom's and husband's face. I asked for some water sebab tekak memang kering gila since I fasted since the night before. The nurse said I can only drink a liiiiitle bit of plain water because I might throw up if I drink too much. So I sipped a bit of water and fall back to sleep.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'd say around 11 pm or 12 am, I woke up and felt the urge to pee. It was quite hard to sit up apatah lagi stand up. But the nurse said I can move without worry sebab the stitches all so small-small ones. The doctor only did 2 tebukan / holes on my tummy. So i peed happily and then got back on bed and slept soundly till morning. Dasar kaki tidur. :P</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Tomorrow morning, I woke up early. My mom helped me to wash up and change into clean clothes. I can eat already but being put on soft diet only. The hospital gave me fish porridge, fruits and juice.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Not long after that, Dr Hamid came and gave me my diagnosis. He said there is no cyst or fibroid. My uterus is clear.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
He told me that the culprit of my constant period pain is my adhesion colic problem that developed through the years from my ruptured appendicitis surgery way back.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There's not much that can be done but pain killers will help to alleviate the "monthly" pain. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I know that might sound a bit disappointing but alhamdulillah that I don't have anything else to worry about except for taking pain killers every time I experience period pain (you know, the usual).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then Dr Hamid said I can go home with 20 days of medical leave.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So that summed up my laparoscopy experience at the hospital (2 days and 1 night stay).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When I got back home, I kept myself busy with recovery processes which included sleeping, bed resting, drinking lots of plain water, eating lots of fruits and veggies during the whole almost-3-weeks leave.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Sometimes akan datang rasa sengal and ngilu kat bahagian tebukan and also sekitar (around my lower abdominal). Even right up until now (almost 3 months after procedure), if I sit on a chair (kerusi yang jenis tegak like office chair) or stand up for too long or walk for a long period of time, I get a painful sensation around the said area. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Therefore, I avoid involving myself in any rigorous activity for the time being. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>

Raya photoshoot with my beloved duo,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Fudgy Bolognese (atas) and Shortcake Smeagol (bawah).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They both love us (I know they do) but they are too ego to admit it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For those who are going to get warded to undergo laparoscopy procedure, here I list out some of the essentials to be brought together to the hospital:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: purple;"><b>1. Towel</b></span> (preferably other than white color because takut terkena darah or luka tebukan)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: purple;"><b>2. Comfortable clothes</b></span> (loose pajamas) 2 pasang</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: purple;"><b>3. Kain batik</b></span> 2 ke 3 helai</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: purple;"><b>4. Pad</b></span> (boleh bawak yang biasa or maternity pad pun ok. I just used the ones I always wear during menses)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: purple;"><b>5. Small cushion or pillow or plushy</b></span> (untuk alas / letak dekat perut to support lepas procedure. It helps to reduce pain)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It is of much convenience if ada family member teman masa kat hospital sebab lepas procedure tu kita akan pening-pening lalat. And we will need assistance to go to the bathroom.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For the first few weeks after procedure, I eat brown rice and whole meal bread. I consume more fruits and veggies (around 2 to 3 servings per day) to avoid constipation. I also avoided oily and spicy foods for weeks after that.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Don't worry if you have to undergo a laparoscopy procedure soon. It is a simple procedure and insyaAllah you will recover quickly.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
All you need to remember is get plenty of rest because recovery process for your wound inside is gonna take longer. Even way after your wound outside (luka tebukan) heals.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Semoga kita semua baik-baik aje.</div>

<br />
People who are close to me mostly know that I have a serious period pain problem.<br />
<br />
I've been living with this monthly issue for years, as far as I remember my period pain started when I was around 15 or 16.<br />
<br />
Orang kata alah bisa, tegal biasa. Well, guess what, NOT for period pain (those who know, MUST know what I mean).<br />
<br />
It ain't easy living with this condition.<br />
<br />
Back then, I had to skip school or call my parents to pick me up at school because of the unbearable pain.<br />
And when I entered university, the pain still hasn't go away.<br />
Numerous lectures I was absent from and some lecturers did give me a hard time and even made jokes about it (come to think about it, those jokes were quite sexist. Curse you, Baby Boomers, who aren't woke enough to learn sensitivity!).<br />
<br />
But the worst, is now.<br />
Two words = Working life.<br />
<br />
You know how your job just won't give you a chance to take a break even when you feel like you're dying?<br />
And your boss and colleagues expect you to always be ready for the incoming projects even though your innards feel like exploding?<br />
Yup, that's what I'm talking about.<br />
<br />
But you know what, I don't blame people who never experience period pain.<br />
I mean I don't expect them to truly understand what it feels like.<br />
Because I don't think they can.<br />
<br />
They never feel like they are being stabbed in the guts every month for 2 to 3 days (or up to 4 during the unlucky months).<br />
They never have to twist and turn left to right to find the best possible position to lie or sit just comfortable enough to ease the pain while making sure the gushing blood doesn't stain the sheet.<br />
And don't even get me started with the throbbing headache and killer lenguh kaki.<br />
<br />
So yeah, I don't think anybody could imagine that without actually going through them all.<br />
<br />
Anyways, doctors after doctors, gynae after gynae, the pain for me is still there.<br />
<br />
Last year, when I had my second miscarriage (my first one was in 2017), the doctor that I went to asked me to seek for specialist's opinion if my third pregnancy ended with miscarriage too.<br />
<br />
But we (my husband and I) decided not to wait until I get pregnant again baru nak jumpa pakar.<br />
<br />
So around middle of this year haritu, kitorang decide to get <a href="https://www.facebook.com/hamidarshat45/" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: blue;">Dr Hamid Arshat's</span></b></a> consultation.<br />
I am so glad we decided to see him. He is one of the most positive doctors I have ever met and most importantly, he knows what he's doing.<br />
<br />
I really don't want to experience again what I have gone through during my <a href="https://siarnabgemok.blogspot.com/2017/11/50th-how-i-found-out-i-was-pregnant.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;"><b>first miscarriage</b></span></a> where some of the doctors that I went to can't even detect my pregnancy. Horror!<br />
<br />
To set an appointment with Dr Hamid, I emailed him and within 2 days, I got a date (which is around a month after that). It was pretty easy to get all the info from his FB page and also his website, <b><span style="color: blue;"><a href="https://www.hamidarshat.net/" target="_blank">Klinik Dr Hamid Arshat</a>.</span></b><br />
<br />
During my first appointment (at Taman Desa Medical Center), before I see Dr Hamid, the nurse asked me about my period cycle, period pain symptoms, my miscarriages history and also done some basic medical procedures like amik tekanan darah and timbang berat. And then another nurse pulak scan my rahim. So bila masuk jumpa doktor, everything dah siap buat and doktor akan review the scan's result plus all the symptoms.<br />
<br />
My scan's result is clear but Dr Hamid suggested for me to go through with laparoscopy procedure to get more detailed and thorough view of why my period pain is so frequent because usually period pain happens with the present of cyst or fibroid (though they are absent in my case). Also doktor nak buat D&C since I have 2 miscarriages history (previous doctors didn't perform D&C to me because they were completed miscarriages).<br />
<br />
Initially my laparoscopy date was in October but somehow ada patient cancelled and I got moved to an earlier date on 1 August haritu.<br />

My hubs and I (11 days post laparoscopy) during Hari Raya Haji 2019.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I lost 4 kilos and then quickly gained em all back after 2 months of recovery. Lolx!</div>
<br />
I will share my laparoscopy experience on my next post so click on that <b><span style="color: purple;">subscribe</span></b> button and get notified each time I post a new entry! :)<br />
<br />
For those who are going through the same pain as I am every month, stay strong sisters!!!<br />
<br />
Don't let the pain beat us.<br />
We are strong!<br />
We are brave!<br />
And most important, we are beautiful!<br />
Gittew~<br />
<br />
But don't forget to go see the doctor and get a thorough check up. Who knows it might help make the pain go away. InsyaAllah~<br />
<br />

Someone who overthinks a lot lately and this might not be at all happening as she's currently overthinking.<br />
<br />
This feels familiar.<br />
The air when the situation has gone silence for a while.<br />
That cold air in a dark empty room.<br />
The "I wish this never happened".<br />
It will always burn and end anyways.<br />
<br />
Who am I kidding right?? It's too good to be true.<br />
Time and time again when it started, I tell myself "Why are you acting so dumb? Thinking that this could end the other way around?"<br />
<br />
It's time to be true to yourself.<br />
You are better off alone anyways.<br />
Happier in fact.<br />
<br />
Although you are the happiest when love comes to greet you, you know there's that worry feeling because it never works out.<br />
<br />
Maybe it's cause of YOU.<br />
Have you ever think of that before?<br />
Time for a reality check, missy.<br />
<br />
There I go, too harsh on my own self yet again.<br />
<br />
Have faith though, it will definitely make you stronger. I won't lose faith, insyaAllah.<br />
Cause I know this is my test in life anyways.<br />
Other people had it million times harder than this.<br />
So mine are bearable.<br />
<br />
It's the unseen wound. Barely bleeding. I'll be alright.<br />
<br />
The question now is that, should I start saying my goodbyes? Before it really truly ends maybe?<br />
Ahh, not again. I have tears in my eyes as I'm typing this but I refuse to let it streamed down my face.<br />
Nope. Not gonna. Not worth it.<br />
<br />
Praying that Allah SWT makes it bearable for me to handle.<br />
Like I wish I could do that forever than any other stuff...just pray...cause it's healing.<br />
It balances me in a way.<br />
Super therapeutic.<br />
<br />
Why am I doing this to myself though?<br />
Why do I let myself go through this painful experience?<br />
Haven't I had enough though?<br />
I'm not being kind to myself.<br />
<br />
They say never give up.<br />
Is having enough and not wanting to go through all that is me giving up?<br />
Or can I just named it as the thing people these days simply love to say "it's an act of self love" and just leave everything that I feel is not working out behind?<br />
<br />

<br />
That term can be misused if you ask me, don't you agree?<br />
<br />
Then again, if I give up, is it so bad though?<br />
Maybe I'm not meant for all this.<br />
Have anyone ever think of that?<br />
<br />
I know for a fact I'll do this all over again once love comes to greet me.<br />
<br />
The question now is that, have I not learned enough?<br />
Or when is the right time to say enough is enough??<br />
<br />

<br />
Dear Syu,<br />
<br />
I miss you!<br />
<br />
It's been just 2 days but I miss you so much already!!!<br />
<br />
In fact, Yuo and Aifa also miss you!!!<br />
<br />

<br /></div>
We talk about how much we miss your antics, your contagious laughter, your funny and overly dramatic responses to practically anything.<br />
<br />
Gosh Syu, you really know how to make people miss you!!<br />
<br />
There are so many memories of you that are still so vivid and feels like they just happened yesterday.<br />
<br />
Your all time favorite salahkan-kaki-kecik-sebab-tu-always-nak-jatuh theory.<br />
<br />
"Alah aku kan tinggi. Kaki aku kecik so tak stabil."<br />
<br />
Seriously Syu?? Your feet are at fault? You literally trip over nothing, Syu.<br />
<br />
And yes, your signature nak termuntah act before every presentation during our Diploma years. Duh, who could ever forget that?<br />
<br />
"Korang, aku rasa aku tak boleh present weyh. Aku nervous. Wekkk *with the most dramatic gagging sound*."<br />
<br />
Every time you do that, Yuo, Aifa and I would smack you without fail and say "Syu, you're gonna do well, ok. Kau confident je kang masa present tu. Plus, it's a group presentation. Please jangan nak buat pasal."<br />
<br />
You were the joker of our geng Ampat.<br />
<br />
And as if it weren't good enough that you were supplying us with laughing pills, you also chose to be the mother of our group.<br />
<br />
You took care of us like we were your younger sisters (though you are the youngest among us).<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
You were always planning for geng Ampat's meet ups, hangouts and lepaking sesh.<br />
<br />
And I was foolish, Syu. Yes, I was.<br />
<br />
To think that all those plannings will keep on coming for at least the next 30 years of our friendship.<br />
<br />
I always thought, it's okay to give a few rain checks here and there sometimes because I am too busy juggling life.<br />
<br />
I always thought that there's always tomorrow, next time and some other time.<br />
<br />
I always thought Whatsapp and social medias are enough for us to spend our "quality time" together as friends.<br />
<br />
Little did I know that I was such a silly Billy to think so.<br />
<br />
Now, there is no more tomorrow or next time or even some other time for us anymore, Syu.<br />
<br />
You have left me. You have left geng Ampat. You have left us all.<br />
<br />
You have left this world, Syu.<br />
<br />
I was shocked. I was devastated.<br />
<br />
When Aifa broke the news to me, I just sat there.<br />
<br />
My mind went blank.<br />
<br />
And suddenly I just burst into tears. Ugly tears. You made me ugly cried, Syu.<br />
<br />
We just saw each other. We just texted each other. We just made fun of each other.<br />
<br />
Just a few days ago.<br />
<br />
You were chirpy and cheerful as always. And, now, you're gone.<br />
<br />
You're gone, Syu.<br />
<br />
Allahu~<br />
<br />
I really wish there was more time for us.<br />
<br />
I really wish there was!<br />
<br />
But astaghfirullahalazim, Allah knows best.<br />
<br />
Syu, Allah took you together with Madi, the love of your life.<br />
<br />
Allah bagi korang bercinta sehingga ke akhir hayat bersama-sama.<br />
<br />
Dan Allah amik korang masa korang dalam perjalanan ke tempat kerja mencari rezeki halal untuk keluarga.<br />
<br />
Allahuakbar sayangnya Allah pada kau, Syu.<br />
<br />

<br />
Have you guys ever fall in love with this one baju of yours that you guys could wear them EVERY SINGLE DAY without feeling bored and each time you put it on, you feel empowered and super confident?<br />
<br />
Well, I have.<br />
<br />
In fact, numerous times since I learned the language of style. Gitchew~<br />
<br />
My obsession started with one of my dresses when I was around 3 to 4 years old.<br />
<br />
I still remember the exact design of the dress.<br />
<br />
White and red in color.<br />
<br />
The dress is adorned with 3 dimensional tomatoes (the tomatoes literally hang from the front part of the dress).<br />
<br />
I tell you, it's really cute. I mean that's why my mom bought it for me right.<br />
<br />
But I fell too deeply in love with it that I wanted to wear the dress, like I said earlier, EVERY. SINGLE. DARN. DAY.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Behold the collection of my childhood photos.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
See that magnificent tomatoes dress? Yup, that's the one guys!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I even smiled proudly some more while wearing it.</div>
<br />
My parents saw the seriousness of the matter and they tried (boy did they tried) to stop the "madness" by buying me more adorable dresses.<br />
<br />
There were dresses with smock, lace, colorful beads and embellishments but I keep wanting that tomatoes dress.<br />
<br />
I seriously donno what happened to the dress in the end but based on what my parents told me, they said the dress, unfortunately, got stained and the evil stain decided to stay and ruined my entire childhood (Read: Dramatic alert).<br />
<br />
Sad, I know. What's even sadder is that somehow I feel that my parents might have hid the dress somewhere beyond my finding and they themselves forgot where they put it and decided that is what's best.<br />
<br />
Well, that's one down.<br />
<br />
As I grow older, I'll always have an obsession towards one piece of clothing that I currently possessed from time to time.<br />
<br />
It can be a shirt. Or a dress, skirt, scarf. And even a headband.<br />
<br />
But never undies. I'm not bias when it comes to undies coz they all are dear to me. :P<br />
<br />
Currently, I just realized that I might be wearing my one set of kurung more than the others.<br />
<br />
Literally realized it today and immediately decide to put it up on my blog so that one day when I look back, I'll have the chance to judge my fashion sense in 2019. :P<br />

<br />
Oh hey, guess what?<br />
<br />
This is my third post this year.<br />
<br />
Wow, I'm on fire guys!!<br />
<br />
I have been thinking since I wrote my last post as to why lately I seem to be losing touch to blog.<br />
<br />
I mean, I just don't get what is wrong with me? I still love writing and membebel-ing. But I feel that my writing skill has declined a.k.a. mereput a.k.a. sendu big time.<br />
<br />
So after many sleepless nights of thinking (or more likely Netflix binge-watching), I've come to a conclusion: <b><span style="color: magenta;">I am everywhere but here</span></b>.<br />
<br />
I mean, my body is here, my fingers are typing but my mind keeps going wild you know.<br />
<br />
Sometimes while I'm writing, I keep thinking " Ada lagi ke orang baca blog nowadays?" or "Who will read this?" or "Will people think I'm lame for still blogging about my personal life?" coz you know now blog is all about being a marketing tool to sell oneself, therefore this blog is totally out of question coz we all know how minimal I blog and seriously I really can't see how this blog can become a platform for me to market myself to get endorsement from any brands, i.e. blogger tak laku. Herr~<br />
<br />
Or worst, "What if people from my workplace/my jiran/my distant relatives who barely know me found my blog and judge me based on what I wrote here?"<br />
<br />
Darn. So many questions and worries and doubts until I can't even focus on what to write.<br />
<br />
Hence, today, I am making a revelation.<br />
<br />
From now on, I will write whatever I feel like writing. I will blog whatever I feel like blogging (well of course within boundary. I mean, I ain't gonna use my blog as a space to tarnish someone's name. Also this blog will forever remain family friendly. Therefore, please click <span style="color: cyan;">subscribe</span> for more family fun entertainment).<br />
<br />
Plus, this blog is built based on my fondness towards writing and also journaling.<br />
<br />
I wrote like gazillions of diaries since my childhood years.<br />
<br />
And I always tried my best to keep them hidden in a stash somewhere in my room but somehow, mysteriously, my mom will always find them and read them (Read: without feeling guilty at all) like they were meant to be written for her.<br />
<br />
Like hello Mama, that's my diary, not one of your novels.<br />
<br />
I'll get so mad (more embarrassed actually) whenever she quotes my teen-angst phrases every time we argue on something. And Bapak will be like "Oh, so this is what I've been missing. Must read that diary too." Guys, seriously, stop reading my diary. *roll eyes*<br />
<br />
But hey look at me now, publicly publishing about how and what I'm feeling to the whole world coz why not. My parents knew everything already so wtv man.<br />
<br />
Haha. Just kidding. I bet many of you guys have experienced this too right?<br />
<br />
Gigih menulis diari, siap beli marker pen warna-warni. Tulis pasal crush kat kelas sebelah.<br />
<br />
Tiba-tiba mak kau baca and kena marah sebab pergi sekolah sibuk nak crush2 plak.<br />
<br />
Good old days guys, good old days.<br />
<br />
Anywaysss, back to the bunch of questions that kept me, no, refrained me from writing genuinely a.k.a. lengthily (it seems my entries have become shorter and shorter these days. Yup, I noticed that guys, I noticed), I guess I have nothing to worry about anymore.<br />
<br />
This blog is a reflection of me and the life that I go through daily.<br />
<br />
Why blog if you just can't express yourself truly and wholeheartedly. Am I right?<br />
<br />

<br />
First and foremost, I wanna wish everyone a very Happy Ramadan!!<br />
<br />
We are already in week 3 and may Allah ease the remaining days of the month for us. InsyaAllah~<br />
<br />
I have been absent from blogging for months.<br />
<br />
To be honest, I really wish I could write more.<br />
<br />
There's so many things going on in my mind lately. And I have been thinking of ways to put them all out there.<br />
<br />
It's not because I don't have time to write. I do have plenty (last month I was on a 1-month half paid leave. But we'll get there later).<br />
<br />
It is more of because I find it very difficult for me to express them. And that really bugs me you know.<br />
<br />
I mean, I have been really dedicated to my blog since I started it back in 2013 (well at least for the first few years. After that I have been quite busy starting my career and stuffs. But you know what I mean right).<br />
<br />
I feel very confident and comfortable to write about what's on my mind here. And ideas just flow from my brain right to my fingertips effortlessly. It just feels natural.<br />
<br />
But lately, things feel stuck in the middle and I don't know which is the middle.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Me having a great time in Bandung, Indonesia earlier this year.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Trivia: Bandung is a nice place to go for family vacation but be careful in choosing where to eat.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Food poisoning alert (based on my very own unfortunate experience).</div>
<br />
There has been times where I just sit there in front of my computer and trying real hard to write new post (coz my every desire really wants to do so). But nothing came out. Like literally not even one word.<br />
<br />
It got me thinking whether I have lost my touch as a blogger/writer. Or I just simply lost my passion because I have used up all my energy to do other adult things.<br />
<br />
Geez, I DEFINITELY don't want that to happen. I really want to stay passionate and enthusiastic about my one thing that I love most since young. Exactly, WRITING!!<br />
<br />
I even wish that one day I'll manage to write and publish a book (P/s: Please buy).<br />
<br />
Does any of you guys ever feel like this?<br />
<br />
As if you've lost your burning passion on something you really enjoy and love doing because you are too tired doing other things that you don't really like but you just have to because you know, commitments. *roll eyes*<br />
<br />
Do pray for me to get back the excitement on writing that I somehow have lost (a little bit, I hope. I mean, this post is not half bad right?).<br />
<br />
Oh regarding the 1-month leave I mentioned earlier, I did get what I wished for in my previous post. I got the time off from work that I needed so badly (well, not really in a way I pictured it to be but syukur laa dapat cuti jugak).<br />
<br />
Last month, I took a month of half paid leave to take care of my mom. She had to undergo a thyroid surgery. Alhamdulillah everything went well and as usual, my mom recovers pretty quickly (she really needs to drop me some tips on how to be strong and energetic like that).<br />
<br />
There, I guess you lose some, you gain some in life. All praise to God for giving us all the opportunity to still be here today and I'm glad you guys took the time to read my blog though I haven't been actively updating.<br />
<br />
I'll get back my mojo. I'm pretty sure. I won't let my busy life overtake my passion for writing.<br />
<br />
Salam menggemok and Toodles~<br />

<br />
Hi guys!!! Happy 2019!!!<br />
<br />
By the way, my entry title is just so random.<br />
<br />
I don't have anything big planned for this year actually.<br />
<br />
I just wanna have a peaceful, less conflict, less drama, less shenanigan and I donno, maybe some time off from work (?).<br />
<br />
We are 2 months deep into 2019 and I am still not over the fact that 2018 has gone by just like that.<br />
<br />
I traveled quite a lot last year (gosh, saying 2018 as last year is so weird. I'm still not used to it).<br />
<br />
Lots of first times for me.<br />
<br />
First time visiting Indonesia (Medan).<br />
<br />
First time going overseas with my husband, just the two of us (Bali).<br />
<br />
First time organized my family overseas vacation without using any travel agency (Perth).<br />
<br />
First time working in a small Ministry (Kementerian Wilayah Persekutuan).<br />
<br />
Also lots of second times as well.<br />
<br />
Second time traveling overseas with my in-laws (Medan).<br />
<br />
Second time having miscarriage.<br />
<br />
Second time low key hating to move to a new Ministry.<br />
<br />
But I went through em all. I went through em all without any hesitations. Coz well, that's how life is.<br />
<br />
And I had so many joy and happiness in 2018 and I pray that I'll get more of those this year (coz I'm greedy like that).<br />
<br />
I really want 2019 to be a year that I can list more of my first and second times and maybe even third or fourth (as long as they are pleasant things, I'm willing to repeat em again and again).<br />
<br />

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Assalamualaikum</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Hey gaiz.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This is my first time writing something very close and personal, macam ala-ala diari, and getting it officially published (hopefully).</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I tak pernah terfikir akan terjebak dengan this whole confession thing. Selalu baca kat FB yang IIUM Confessions tu pun fikir macam ntah apa-apa laa dorang ni. Benda kecik je pun, bukan tak boleh bawak bincang. Tu pun sampai nak tulis confession bagai.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
But guess what, here I am today. Confessing my heart out about my roommate.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
First of all guys, please jangan judge ok. I dah try talk it out dengan dia about this matter tapi dia buat pekak sampai aku pun pelik kenapa dia tak utilize telinga kurniaan Tuhan kat dia tu.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So macam nilah. Kita mula k.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'm a student kat salah sebuah IPTA tempatan. I stay hostel. Sebilik 2 orang.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Thank God 2 orang. Kalau 4 orang and dapat 3 roommates perangai macam roommate sekarang, mahu mati bunuh diri aku.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My roommate and I, we tak sama course so kelas pun tak sama waktu. Tapi kitorang ok je. Takdelah tak rapat ke apa. Dah duduk sebilik, pastu berdua je, so somehow kitorang become quite close. Dululah. Now macam fedup plak rasanya.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Masa semester lepas, dia ok je. By the way, this is our second semester jadik roommates. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
"Ok" tu maksudnya normal laa. Kitorang take turn to kemas bilik. Kitorang ada kongsi beli penyapu, penyodok and kain lap habuk dalam bilik.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Every week, kitorang kemas. Contoh, minggu ni I kemas, minggu depan dia plak.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Tapi sejak masuk second sem kitorang as roommates, dia macam makin berat nak angkat penyapu and penyodok. Kain lap habuk apatah lagi.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Mula-mula I ok je. Ingatkan dia penat coz course dia memang selalu ada assignments yang kena pergi luar. Tapi lama-lama I rasa dah macam apa plak kan, bila dia langsung dah tak amik peduli pasal kebersihan bilik.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Dulu baju kotor dia elok je dalam bekas baju kotor duduknya. Sekarang ni atas lantai apa semua dah mula terabur. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I tried to heart to heart. I cakap dia busy ke lately sampai tak terurus camtu sekali. Dia cakap biasa je. And macam question balik apa yang tak terurusnya. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Oh ye, lupa nak cakap. Sejak sem yang ni, dia dah mula pakai make up. Make up ala-ala teknik-teknik yang MUA kat youtuber and IG guna tu ye. Bukan make up bodoh macam aku setakat tepek compact powder, blusher and maskara gitu je. Dia complete with contouring and eyebrow on fleek bagai ok. SETIAP HARI.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And that makes things worse. Sebab tong sampah almost every day akan full dengan tisu laa kapas laa make up remover wipes apa bagai laa. And guess siapa yang kena buangkan sampah setiap hari tu? ME. YES, ME. Kalau I tak buang, dia akan buat bodoh and campak je tisu-tisu dia sampai melimpah ruah atas lantai. OMG AI KENOT BRAIN!!!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Gaiz, memang dia cantik. I tak nafikan. Especially since dia dah pandai bagai-bagai teknik make up sekarang ni. Tapi bab jaga kebersihan, masyaaulllohhhhh. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I banyak kali pesan kat dia, mintak tolong buang sampah jugak if tong dah penuh. Dia cakap nanti, nanti, nanti, nanti dan nanti sampai ke sudah sampah dah bersepah atas lantai. Gaiz, I is geli ok.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Bilik kitorang dah serupa tongkang pecah kalau I tak kemas. Sekarang ni I segan if ada member-member nak datang bilik I buat group assignment. I akan kena kutip semua baju-baju kotor dia dari atas lantai and letak dalam bakul baju dia. Kutip tisu-tisu berterabur and buang dalam tong sampah. Pastu baru ajak member-member masuk bilik. Aku dah macam bibik tak bergaji dah.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I suspect roommate i ni sejenis manusia tak berperasaan kut. Mungkin first sem kitorang sebilik dia berlakon. Then masuk second sem, hamek kauuu. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I akan cuba slow talk lagi dengan dia sebelum habis final ni. I harap dia dikurniakan hidayah ke apa ke supaya kemas laa at least baju kotor letak laa dalam bakul baju and tisu lap lipstick Mac dia tu tolonglah buang dalam tong sampah.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Next sem, I memang nak mintak tukar bilik. I have had enough.<br />

<br />
I just realized I have totally forgotten to write the entries on my Medan and also my Bali trips as I have planned before.<br />
<br />
Maybe the entries will be up soon.<br />
<br />
Maybe it won't be that soon.<br />
<br />
Maybe there won't be any entries on the trips at all.<br />
<br />
Who knows.<br />
<br />
:P<br />
<br />
Here is some really awesome photo of the beautiful Pandawa Beach that I went to during my Bali trip.<br />

<br />
<b><span style="color: #38761d;">Selamat hari raya!!!</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #38761d;"><br /></span></b>
This year's raya is my first time ever balik kampung by flight.<br />
<br />
"Kemeriahan" airport with manusia is expected and all and I am totally prepared for that (and I'm all good with it. No issue at all).<br />
<br />
But who would have thought that my husband and I would be stranded for 3 hours at the airport on the night before raya??<br />
<br />
3 whole hours just sitting there on the (uncomfortable) chair and waiting and waiting and waiting some more for our plane to arrive.<br />
<br />
I was hungry (buka puasa only with super expensive sandwich that we bought from the small cafe near our boarding gate and shared a bottle of mineral water with my husband coz I thought our flight is gonna be on time a.k.a 7.45 pm so why nak have a huge meal before departure right??) and also we are taking flight to Penang and need to commute another 1 to 2 hours by car before arriving at our destination, Baling, Kedah. Jauh ok.<br />
<br />
So there I was, thinking what an interesting situation I'm in. I was not mad at all (surprisingly, my husband said. How dare him).<br />
<br />
But some people just really know how to create commotion and unnecessary chaos.<br />
<br />
A few other stranded passengers started to shout and talk loudly saying how selfish are the cabin crews (the delay is caused by masalah teknikal and operasi whereby cabin crews lambat sampai sebab diberitahu last minute to be on duty <-- as explained by the Captain later during our flight) for causing everyone else to wait for them.<br />
<br />
Ok that part, I get it.<br />
<br />
But later on the "shouting and talking loudly" group started to mention about the crews are being late coz they selfishly buka puasa lama-lama and sibuk for persiapan tomorrow's raya, my blood started to boil you know. And they keep on repeating the buka puasa and raya part as if they wanna advocate hatred towards buka puasa and raya or something. I was like what the heck yaww.<br />
<br />
I know this is supposed to be an entry about how my raya is like but I really feel the need to put it out there, please laa don't any of us ever dare to be disrespectful towards other race / religion.<br />
<br />
Please please please refrain yourself from being racist or insensitive about other people's race / religion. We are heading towards Malaysia Baharu and yet you're still blurting about other race or religion being selfish and whats not though you yourself are not really well versed about their race / religion.<br />
<br />
Respect given is respect earned. If you can't respect other people's race / religion, you can't expect others to do the same to yours right?<br />
<br />
I am saying this not as a Malay or Muslim. But I am saying this as a Malaysian, please stop and think before any of us say anything about other people's race or religion. Religion, especially, is a sacred thing and I believe all religions obliged the penganut to be respectful towards everyone.<br />
<br />
Plus, I don't think the crews are causing the delay while having an all-you-can-eat buffet for buka puasa or sibuk tukar langsir baru for raya tomorrow. Be mindful of your words and stop trying to throw shade on others. Coz for all I know, the "shouting and talking loudly" group is actually making a fool out of themselves. Pity them.<br />
<br />
On a happier note, all of us reached Penang in one piece and also, my husband and I arrived at Baling around 1.30 am. Talking about grand entrance (the last one to arrive).<br />
<br />
So this year's raya I didn't take any leave (I know, such a dedicated worker aren't I). Therefore after we beraya at Baling (my husband's side), we went back to our usual jadual bekerja for a week and the next weekend (around after a week of raya), we go balik Melaka a.k.a my sweet, sweet happy home a.k.a kampung (coz my nenek is staying with my mom now so I call my home also as kampung. Coz kampung is where nenek is).<br />
<br />
Alhamdulillah I had a blast. Raya is amazing as always. And I managed to berkenalan with more saudara mara from my husband's side.<br />

You guys yang kat Melaka (or are going to Melaka anytime soon) should really check out Ikan Bakar Parameswara. There's this cool jalan papan on air that is totally Instagram worthy. But do note to come before senja or else you'll only get half lit photo like mine above (but if you guys are into silhouette kinda photo, then you guys should definitely come when the sunset happens. It's super beautiful I tell you). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
I hope you guys are also having the time of your life during this year's raya.<br />
<br />
Wonder how many of my blog readers are still eligible to get duit raya?? <-- hoping my blog to (still) be a dope reading for youngsters out there. Ahahahahahh.<br />

<br />
A few days ago one of my friends told me that I am such a good listener (ahem~) and a very empathetic person (ok did she said "very"? Maybe. But the keyword is "empathetic") that she suggested for me to become a counselor or therapist (let me stress this once again, MY FRIEND said it. NOT me).<br />
<br />
But what does she know right?? I mean, psshhh (while smugly smiling). Ahahahahahh.<br />
<br />
Anywaysss, as I was going through my blog, I came across one of my entries from 2016 and it was a confession entry.<br />
<br />
Then an awesome idea struck me.<br />
<br />
What if I create a special, safe place for my bae blog readers a.k.a Bloggermoks a.k.a you guys to vent your heart out by sending in your confession/s on just about everything that you wanted to.<br />
<br />
I have always wanted to reach out to all of you even more and always thinking of how to do it so I figure this might be one of the ways.<br />
<br />
I might not be qualified enough to give you guys advice, or is it advise? See, I am not even well versed in language, how can I lecture and bebel you guys on life.<br />
<br />
But you know what, if you guys are looking for a place to buat sesi luahan rasa, melepaskan perasaan or just to voice out your view on any matters and choose to do it <b><span style="color: red;">ANONYMOUSLY</span></b>, I am 100% up for it!!! Free of charge (as of now. Ahahahahh~just kidding).<br />
<br />
Coz you know why, I have been through hard times and trust me, one time too many. So I understand how meaningful it is for us to let the feeling out to someone, anyone who's willing to listen and just listen.<br />
<br />
So what are you guys waiting for?<br />
<br />
Pour your heart out and I don't know how many times should I say this to make you guys believe me but you guys will feel as if a huge rock has been lifted from your shoulder.<br />
<br />
Here are the <b style="background-color: #9fc5e8;">guidelines</b> for you guys to send in your confession/s (yes, you can send MORE than one) :<br />
<br />
1. Confession should be written in <span style="color: blue;"><b>BAHASA MALAYSIA</b></span> or <span style="color: blue;"><b>ENGLISH</b></span> or mix of <b><span style="color: blue;">BOTH</span></b> (please don't send me in other language coz ya home girl here is not (yet) a pakar bahasa antarabangsa).<br />
<br />
2. Your confession <b><span style="color: blue;">MUST HAVE</span></b> a <span style="color: blue;"><b>TITLE</b></span> and <span style="color: blue;"><b>NICKNAME</b></span> of the confessor. The confession can be just about anything (love, life, work, studies, friendship, etc).<br />
<br />
3. Please send them in <b><span style="color: blue;">MICROSOFT WORD</span></b> format.<br />
<br />
4. You guys can add in <b><span style="color: blue;">PHOTO</span></b> if you guys want to <span style="color: blue;"><b>(OPTIONAL)</b></span> but please, nothing explicit (just kidding. I know you guys are decent people).<br />
<br />
5. Feel free to write as short as you want if you prefer a downright simple confession but if you guys are the kind that love to write super detailed confession, <b><span style="color: blue;">500 - 700 WORDS</span></b> will hit the sweet spot.<br />
<br />
6. Language used should be <b><span style="color: blue;">G-RATED</span></b> (suitable for General viewing). I know confession can get pretty nasty sometimes but please avoid using too many curses (I will bleep when necessary).<br />
<br />
7. Some confessions might require for me to <b><span style="color: blue;">EDIT</span></b> here and there (hence the bleeping like I have mentioned before), but no worries, the editing will be very minimal and will not affect the context of the confession.<br />
<br />
8. Once you are satisfied with your confession, just <b><span style="color: blue;">EMAIL</span></b> it to <b><span style="color: blue;">chachozzy@gmail.com</span></b> with the subject "<b><span style="color: blue;">SYAZ CONFESSION SESSION</span></b>". You guys don't have to include your name or any of your personal details (but if you prefer to do so, just do lah. No denda or whatsoever pun).<br />
<br />
Oh and you guys don't have to worry anything about being kantoi or something liddat coz my blog strictly abide to one very important rule: <span style="color: purple;"><b>SECRECY and CONFIDENTIALITY are guaranteed</b></span>.<br />
<br />
I mean, hello, this is a confession session. Who gives out details of the confessor right. Like duhhh~<br />
<br />
As a starter, I will choose 1 (one) confession each month to be published.<br />
<br />
Once the confession is published on my blog, everyone is invited to comment on advice / advise (see what I did there?) or give words of encouragement and motivations. Strictly <b><span style="color: purple;">NO JUDGING</span></b> please. This is an open sharing session where everyone is loved and welcomed warm heartedly.<br />
<br />
My <b style="background-color: #9fc5e8;">GOALS</b> in creating Syaz Confession Session are:<br />
<span style="color: purple;"><b><br /></b></span>
<b><span style="color: #0b5394;">1. To provide my bae blog readers @ Bloggermoks @ you guys a haven to feel safe and confident to speak out;</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: #0b5394;">2. Also I aim to establish stronger bonds with you guys so that you guys know that there is a friend in me for every single one of you; and last but not least,</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: #0b5394;">3. I want my blog to be a happy place not just for me but also for all of my bae blog readers @ Bloggermoks @ you guys too!!!</span></b><br />

<br />
Dah masuk 5 hari dah kita berpuasa bagi Ramadan 1439H. Alhamdulillah kita masih diberi Tuhan kesempatan usia yang panjang untuk merasai nikmat bulan penuh keberkatan ini.<br />
<br />
Semoga tahun depan kita akan dikurniakan rezeki untuk bertemu lagi dengan bulan yang mulia ini.<br />
<br />
Kadang-kadang rasa sedih bila semakin meningkat usia, busy dengan kerja dan jadual kehidupan seharian yang padat, rasa excited nak menyambut bulan Ramadan tu macam dah makin hilang.<br />
<br />
I don't know if it's just me or semua orang pun macam ni jugak tapi lately, ada laa terdetik "Kenapa aku dah tak teruja macam dulu-dulu bila nak puasa and raya eyk? Adakah faktor usiaku yang semakin menginjak dewasa<b> (Read: tua) </b>??"<br />
<br />
Korang yang sama rasa macam ni, ada terfikir tak kenapa kita jadik macam ni?<br />
<br />
Nak kata aura Ramadan dan Syawal tu dah tenggelam, rasanya tak.<br />
<br />
Sebab belum puasa lagi, iklan baju raya, kuih raya, langsir raya dan segala bagai raya dah mula diwar-warkan sana-sini.<br />
<br />
Kelmarin pergi Sogo and Pavilion, lagu raya dah rancak berkumandang.<br />
<br />
So I guess, bukan salah suasana sekeliling yang menghilangkan mood Ramadan dan Syawal.<br />
<br />
Tapi it's time for us <b>(Read: me a.k.a diri sendiri)</b> to muhasabah kenapa perasaan tu semakin pudar.<br />
<br />
Astaghfirullah Ya Allah~<br />
<br />
Jom gaiz, kita sama-sama cari semula keindahan bulan Ramadan dan Syawal.<br />
<br />
It is there. It is never gone. Only us that got lost along the way.<br />
<br />
Semoga Ramadan kali ini, kita akan dipertemukan dengan seribu satu kenikmatan bulan yang penuh rahmat ini dan semoga juga Malam Lailatulqadar milik kita semua. InsyaAllah~<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #38761d;">HAPPY RAMADAN EVERYONE!!!</span></b><br />

<br />
Hello good people who's currently reading this.<br />
<br />
<b style="background-color: yellow;">HAPPY 2018</b> gaizzz!!!<br />
<br />
It's March already which means 2 months of 2018 has been crossed off.<br />
<br />
So what have you guys been up to??<br />
<br />
As for me, my 2018 started off pretty well, alhamdulillah.<br />
<br />
I feel this year is gonna be a much better year than the last one. InsyaAllah~<br />
<br />
By the way, this year marks the end of my 20s as I have entered the 30 series bandwagon last month. Kalau ada yang nak send hadiah birthday tu belum terlambat lagi ok. :)<br />
<br />
So since it's new year and it's the cliche time of the "New year, new me" talk, I think I might as well roll with it.<br />
<br />
For 2018, I have so many plans. Plans for myself. And also plans that include my loved ones.<br />
<br />
First and foremost, I have made a pact with myself to <span style="background-color: orange;"><b>read, at least, 6 books this year</b></span>. And I am currently on book number 2. Woohoo to me!!<br />
<br />
I know 6 books is nothing for some but for me, who is currently struggling so hard to adjust to several issues in my life right now (including me being in a forever hate-hate relationship with my current job due to a number of reasons), I think 6 is quite a high number so 6 that is!!<br />
<br />
By the way, I said "at least" therefore I might read more, insyaAllah~<br />
<br />
Next, I am planning on <span style="background-color: orange;"><b>updating this beloved blog of mine once a month</b></span>, again, at least! I want to make sure that I connect with you guys more and I want to produce more meaningful posts which are helpful and also informative for you guys.<br />
<br />
I also have a plan to interact more with my bae blog readers by collaborating with you guys (yes, you who are reading this!!!) and with other bloggers if possible. I am open to any new ideas. So if you guys want to suggest anything, that can improve your reading experience here, please feel free to shoot em out to me through the comment section below or straight to my email, <span style="background-color: yellow;"><b>chachozzy@gmail.com</b></span>. I am so excited gaizzz~<br />
<br />
Another plan for 2018 is for me to <span style="background-color: orange;"><b>travel more</b></span>. Yeah, you heard me right, MORE!!!<br />
<br />
I have always been a travel junkie since I was young. My number one reason to travel is because I love to eat. When I travel more, I get to eat more new kinds of foods and that, my friends, really satisfy me.<br />
<br />
This year, my travel journey has already started last month when I visited Medan. It was my first time going to Indonesia and I'd say it was not bad at all. Actually, it was a pretty cool experience. InsyaAllah I will write a post for my Medan Trip story soon.<br />
<br />
And, lastly, my final 2018 resolution (or more like my life resolution from now on), is <span style="background-color: orange;"><b>to not care too much about what people think about me or what do they talk about me behind my back</b></span>. I guess this is what has helped me better improve my life for the past few months.<br />
<br />
I donno bout you guys, but I always have difficulties in ignoring what people thought about me. I always try my very best (sometimes it can be ridiculous) in order to impress people or make people to like me. Back then, I often let people do or say whatever they want to in however way they want to, until I got hurt in the process and in the end, I always, always and freaking always forgive them because I don't want people to see me as a selfish person.<br />
<br />
But I have learned that wanting what's best for myself is not selfish. And by wanting what's best for me, it means that people just have to learn to show me more respect in order for me to respect them too and if they don't like it, who cares. Well, I certainly no longer do.<br />
<br />
However, this certainly does not mean that I plan to be rude to anybody any time soon. It just simply means that I will stand my ground and if some people got butt hurt, it ain't my fault. I have suffered so much in the process of pleasing people and yet I found out that if someone choose to dislike us, even if we try as hard as we possibly can to change it, they'd still ended up not liking us, if not hating us.<br />
<br />
So guys, this 2018, lets not be ashamed to be ourselves and have pride in standing our ground.<br />
<br />
Let me end my first ever entry of 2018 with a cheerful note by wishing everyone a very blessed and prosperous year ahead.<br />
<br />
Don't forget to be respectful and kindhearted to everyone.<br />
<br />

<br />
Been a long while since I last wrote an entry about my life.<br />
<br />
But somehow I figured this news is just too important to be left out.<br />
<br />
This is something remarkable. Something meaningful. Something priceless.<br />
<br />
That I just had to share it with you guys.<br />
<br />
Some of you guys mungkin dah tahu that I have been married for two years already now. But frankly, my husband and I, kitorang takde specific planning on when to get our first child.<br />
<br />
I have always been regular monthly. Never missed my expected dates, well maybe for a day or two but that's it.<br />
<br />
That is how we go about month after month all this while.<br />
<br />
So when I was suddenly late last month, kitorang macam wondering "Is it time? Mungkinkah rezeki dari Allah telah menjenguk tiba for us?"<br />
<br />
As like any other first time future parents, we were very excited. Excited sampai malam tu jugak rasa nak pergi borong semua Pregnancy Test Kits yang ada jual dekat Watsons and Guardian.<br />
<br />
But unfortunately, the first test I did came back negative. So did the second one. And so did the third one.<br />
<br />
Our hope began to sink. We came to a conclusion that I might just be too stressed out at work that my period decided to merajuk and came a bit late that month.<br />
<br />
But then a week passed, yet still no sign of the red flag. I experienced normal PMS (the same ol same ol leg cramp and lower abdominal cramp, every day every night during the whole time). Cuma masa tu ada simptom tambahan yang I thought was like "Extranya PMS aku this month" which was setiap hari, lepas balik kerja, I was super keletihan and went straight to bed slightly after Isyak and slept soundly sampai pagi. Tak sedar langsung apa-apa. Sumpah letih gila.<br />
<br />
My appetite also changed. I lost my enthusiasm in eating but sentiasa lapar. Therefore I makan because I nak isi perut je and not because I excited nak makan macam monster like setiap kali PMS yang selalu-selalu tu.<br />
<br />
After almost two weeks waiting, still no period, I figured I might as well do another UPT but still, it came back negative.<br />
<br />
4 UPTs and all came back negative. Considering my condition right there right then, how disappointing.<br />
<br />
And then on my 14th day of late period, I suddenly got a sharp pain sensation on my lower right abdomen and a few minutes after that, I began to bleed. Like a lot.<br />
<br />
I couldn't stand up straight and required my husband to assist me to move around. That night the sharp pain berterusan sampai pagi and that morning my husband quickly bawak I pergi jumpa doktor dekat Klinik Kesihatan Presint 11.<br />
<br />
After I told everything to the doctors there, I was sent to Klinik Kesihatan Presint 9 untuk buat blood work to see whether I am pregnant or not. And sejam lepas tu I got the result. As expected, it was negative too. Bear in mind, after so many negative UPTs, my husband and I memang dah confident gila yang I wasn't pregnant at that time.<br />
<br />
So bawak laa piece of paper yang tulis "Negative" tu balik ke Klinik Kesihatan Presint 11 to show to the doctors.<br />
<br />
Masa jumpa doktor, doktor tetiba senyum and cakap "Klinik Kesihatan Presint 9 called tadi. Bagitahu result sebenarnya weakly positive."<br />
<br />
The doctor said I was 5 to 6 weeks pregnant.<br />
<br />
I seriously could not believe my ears. My husband tercengang macam tetiba tak faham bahasa Malaysia kut time tu. Like serius laa pregnant after 4 negative UPTs kat rumah?? So now yang bleeding ni what plak?<br />
<br />
Dari bersyukur, excited, happy, terus jadik risau teramat sangat.<br />
<br />
Long story short, I was then sent to Pusat Bersalin Berisiko Rendah at Presint 8 (PBBR P8) to clarify apa sebenarnya yang berlaku to my kandungan.<br />
<br />
To my disbelief, PBBR P8 did another UPT and said it was negative despite the result that I brought from Klinik Kesihatan Presint 9 and 11. I was disappointed. Really disappointed.<br />
<br />
They took my blood for more test and result akan dapat after two days. They sent me home with kata-kata "Itu normal menses sahaja."<br />
<br />
My husband and I, we tried to believe what they said but somehow our gerak hati told us otherwise.<br />
<br />
So the next day, even though I am still bleeding, my husband told me to take another UPT at home using Clear Blue Digital for better result (compared to UPT celup-celup kertas sebelum-sebelum ni yang I buat).<br />
<br />
And guess what, the result showed that it is confirmed, I memang pregnant.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Immediately I was taken to Columbia Asia Hospital by my husband and my in laws untuk thorough check up by OBGYN. So more blood work done on me.<br />
<br />
Cuma bezanya this time we got the result in less than an hour. I was indeed pregnant.<br />
<br />
Tapi bukan rezeki kali ni, I already miscarriage. Most probably since the night I got that sharp pain and started bleeding.<br />
<br />
I was sad but am also really glad when OBGYN told me that it wasn't ectopic pregnancy or anything dangerous and life threatening.<br />
<br />
I was told to rest for three months to heal and strengthen my uterus and betulkan semula cycle menses.<br />
<br />
My husband and I, kitorang sedih tapi kitorang rasa kitorang patut bersyukur sebab even though we did lost our first baby, but we managed to know it at a very early stage (5 - 6 weeks) of pregnancy.<br />
<br />
InsyaAllah ada rezeki lain menanti. Janji Allah itu pasti.<br />
<br />
Kalau bukan sekarang, tahun depan. Kalau bukan tahun depan, tahun kemudian-kemudian. :)<br />
<br />
And somehow, I managed to learn a few <span style="background-color: #6aa84f;">lessons</span> from this mishap:<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: #6aa84f;">1.</span> Always be aware of your body changes. <span style="background-color: lime;">Trust your instinct</span> (even though UPT's result is against you and your body). Pregnancy is best detected as early as possible in order to get doctor's advise on how to take care of your body and baby.<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: #6aa84f;">2.</span> Use the best Home Pregnancy Test Kit. In my case, I swear by <span style="background-color: lime;">Clear Blue Digital</span>. It managed to detect my pregnancy even though according to my blood test done by my OBGYN, my HCG level was already very low due to the miscarriage.<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: #6aa84f;">3.</span> <span style="background-color: lime;">Support, care and love</span> from your partner is the utmost important during hard times like this. Plus your family and friends. Don't be shy to announce your lost. I, myself, announced it on my Facebook and Instagram accounts on the day I found out yang I dah miscarriage because to me, morale support is the best kind of support that we can get in order to bounce back from our sadness and grieving.<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: #6aa84f;">4.</span> <span style="background-color: lime;">Take time to heal</span>. Physically and emotionally. For as long as you need. I know work and daily chores can get in the way but try to refrain yourself from pushing yourself to move on too fast as we are just normal human being. We have our ups and of course, our downs. We deserve a break.<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: #6aa84f;">5.</span> As much as we trust our family / personal doctor, <span style="background-color: lime;">second opinion never hurt</span>. What I meant is that, when you feel like you still need more explanation regarding of your body condition, it is not wrong to go to several hospitals or clinics to get consultations. Different doctors might have different opinion and the more opinions you get, the better you can understand what is going on with your body.<br />
<br />
Even though the day I found out I was confirmed pregnant (when I used the Clear Blue Digital) is the same day that I found out I am having a miscarriage (at Columbia Asia Hospital), I am really thankful to Allah for everything.<br />
<br />
To know that my womb has embraced another life is such a gift that I can never imagine.<br />
<br />
Yes it was short lived. But it feels so precious. And I feel so lucky to have been given this opportunity.<br />
<br />
Alhamdulillah.<br />
<br />
And innalillahiwainnailaihirajiun to my first pregnancy, my first baby, my first treasure.<br />
<br />
Alfatihah~<br />

Assalamualaikum</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Yasss, the weekend is here!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
How has the week been so far for you guys??</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hope you guys have had a wonderful week. Mine has been tough and confusing. But I guess I'll tell you guys more on that in another entry.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Because this entry is gonna be all about movie yaww. And not only just any kinds of movies but deep, dark horrifying ones. *insert ghost emoticon*</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Since it's off-day's night and we all know what we enjoy doing the most, that is unwinding after 5 straight days of working or simply just being busy and hectic with life.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So why not grab some popcorn and sprawl yourself in front of the tv / laptop because I'm gonna give some ideas of what movies to be watched. Some of these movies I have watched em last year, some of em last 2 years and some of em I have just watched recently.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
One thing they have in common is that they are worth every minute of teeth-clenching, blankie hugging and saliva gulping they may cause. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ooh, and also for some of the movies, you might need subtitles. :)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Lets dig in.</div>
<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
For this movie, I have to give credit to one of my friends, Faisal, who is a junkie for weird, twisted movies. Whenever he suggested me to watch anything, it is either gory, confusing or simply, mindfuck. So when he asked me to watch this movie, I expected nothing less and I am not disappointed.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The Babadook revolves around the life of a single mother, Amelia, who is still grieving from the abrupt passing of her late husband. Since then, she has to raise her imaginative son, Samuel, alone. And by "imaginative", I mean VERY imaginative. Her son always feels the need to create his own weapons in order to fight monsters and only-God-knows what other creatures he has in mind.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Being depressed and lonely, Amelia is sick of handling her son's antics until one day they found a book and Amelia read it to Samuel as a bedtime story. That's when strange, scary things start to happen and let me warn you guys beforehand, control your shrilly screaming voice, ok?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The director does not let viewers chill (geeeeezzz *roll eyes*) by giving us a real twist at the end as to whether whatever Amelia and Samuel faced throughout the entire movie is an actual (horridly scary) monster or just built ups of their own haywire emotions and problems.</div>

Have you guys ever heard of Capgras delusion?? Never? Well, so did I before watching this movie (and googling about it. Well yeah, I'm obsessed liddat). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Basically this movie captures the life of ten-year-old twin brothers, Elias and Lukas, who are very close to one another. They do everything together and just like any other children their age, they seem harmless.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Well, until the return of their mother from the hospital due to some cosmetic facial surgery (still in facial bandages and all). Since then their mother has been acting weirdly (not only to the twins' view, but also us as the viewers) by only acknowledging Elias in her conversations and actions. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Their mother also isolates herself in her bedroom and stresses the strict rule of silence inside the house. After a while, the "harmless" twins are no longer that harmless. They started to think that under all the bandages, their mother is someone else. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
That's when all the tortures to the "impostor" begin and I can tell you more but it will only kill the suspense. You guys have to watch this movie till the end and decide for yourself whether the twins are right from the start or are just having Capgras delusion.</div>

Do not be fooled by the cheap-looking, super creepy poster. Trust me, it is a movie worth watching. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
There's no icky, gooey, slimy spewing typical scenes in like many other ghost and demon possessed kinda movies. Only by looking at the actress's facial expression is more than enough to make us viewers wet our pants (which luckily I didn't).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I heard that this movie is also known as Dabbe 4, meaning there are Dabbe 1, 2 and 3. But better than that, while googling about this movie, I also stumbled upon Dabbe 6 which means there's also Dabbe 5. I just haven't watched any of the other Dabbe's because lets just face it, Dabbe 4 is still haunting me (plus from the review, it stated that Dabbe 4 is the MOST watched Dabbe from all the other Dabbe's).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
This movie is based on the belief of jinn's existence and black magic. As we all know, there are good jinns and also evil jinns. Obviously the girl possessed in this movie is caused by the evil jinn. If you enjoy the partake of watching The Exorcist, Poltergeist (the old one because lets just be honest, the new one sucks big time) and also The Conjuring, well this movie is a must watch (and it is wayyy more horrifying).</div>

This movie sets in wayyyy back during the year I was born, 1988, in Tehran whereby wars are everywhere ("war of the cities" between Iran and Iraq phase). Therefore, while watching, I am always either sitting at the edge of my seat or cursing due to the sudden blaring sirens of bombing warnings. Shockingly enough, it's not when the it's loud that it is scary. But the real haunting comes out when it is dead silent (spoiler alert).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Poor mother, Shideh, and daughter, Dorsa, have to live on their own after the husband / father had to leave for the war. Shideh, who is already emotionally chaotic because she got expelled from her medical school for being politically active during the Revolution, becomes more stressful when she has to take care of her child on her own in the uproar times.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
In the movie, it is said that jinns are most active where there is fear and anxiety which means Shideh and Dorsa are both very vulnerable to the evil's disturbances.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
If you think ghosts portrayed as having long nails and hair are scary. Well think again. Because sometimes the scariest thing in life is not always as what it seems or what we may think. It is beyond that.</div>

I just recently watched this movie (yesterday to be exact) and I have to say that I am still not over it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
At first, I thought this is a typical dark fairy tales movie, like Tim Burton's movies, where the atmosphere or ambiance of the movie is set in a dark colored, not-so-cheerful looking environment and the ending will be twisted.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
But I was so so so very wrong. The movie is INDEED twisted but it is MORE than just that. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Pan's Labyrinth is one of the greatest fairy tales movies I have ever watched. The movie left me speechless at the end. And I ended up googling about the movie's meaning (for every plot) and ending for hours after that. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Ofelia, the girl as the main character of this movie, is a normal girl who enjoys reading fairy tales books and wishes her life to be one as well. But a girl can only wish so much during the Spanish Civil War. To add to that, her mother is remarried to a heartless Captain after the death of her real father.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Her fantasies begin to come to life when she meets a faun who told her that she is actually a long-lost princess from the Underworld and that her real father is waiting for her return. But in order for her to return, she needs to complete 3 tests. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I love how the director intertwined both real world and Ofelia's fantasy into one without making the movie awkward or cringy or confusing. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
This is HIGHLY recommended by yours truly here and I promise you won't regret watching it. I just couldn't promise that you guys won't feel depressed after watching it. :P</div>

<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Anywaysss, as I have promised in my new
year entry, I would like to share with you guys my awesome experience during my
winter holiday in Seoul, December last year (you guys are also welcomed to read
my winter holiday 2013 experience in Shenzhen and Hong Kong --> </span><b><span style="color: blue; font-size: 13.5pt;"><a href="http://siarnabgemok.blogspot.my/2014/01/35th-shenzhen-hk-winter-holiday.html">35th

<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">For this trip, Arnab Gemok sekeluarga (7 orang
semuanya) telah memilih untuk pergi under joined tour package </span><span style="color: magenta; font-size: 13.5pt;"><a href="http://arbatravel.com/" style="font-weight: bold;"><b><span style="color: magenta;">Arba
Travel</span></b></a> </span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">.
My family and I have been planning and talking about going to Korea since
forever. Boleh laa jugak dikatakan sebab terpengaruh dengan K-Wave. Nak-nak
plak my mom, aunty and cousins are all avid fans of K-Drama (Goblin, The Legend
Of The Blue Sea and Scarlet Heart memang dorang tak tinggal. And those 3 are
just to name a few. Dengarnya, latest ni tengok Saimdang plak). </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">After googling for the best looking
package and discussing, we decided to join the December trip because we wanna
go skiing. Oh man, did we overestimate our skills (skills laa sangat) or did we
overestimate our skills? We DID. Never mind, lets just dig in the journey from
day one till the end. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: 13.5pt;">Price:</span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"> </span></span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">RM2997 per person (includes return flight
tickets, halal meals [breakfast, lunch, dinner sepanjang di Korea],
accommodation, private transport, entrance fee [Nami Island, Kyeongbokgung
Palace], Travel Takaful and 20 kg luggage)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: 13.5pt;">Duration:</span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"> </span></span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">5 days, 4 nights (9 - 13 December 2016)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background: blue;">DAY ONE</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Since our flight memang
awal (8 am), kitorang pun gerak kemain pagi buta ke KLIA2. Ada laa dalam pukul
5 am dah tercegat kat sana. Pastu kitorang terus carik wakil <a href="http://arbatravel.com/" style="color: magenta; font-weight: bold;"><b><span style="color: magenta;">Arba Travel</span></b></a></span><b style="color: magenta;"><span style="color: magenta; font-size: 13.5pt;"> </span></b><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">untuk berkumpul dengan ahli tour group yang
lain-lain. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">FYI, winter trip is like
pisang goreng panas for rakyat Malaysia. Almaklum negara kita takde salji so
semua teruja gila nak tengok and main salji so usually for winter trip memang
overwhelm sambutannya. Therefore, if you guys are planning nak join mana-mana
tour group masa winter, boleh start secure your reservation seawal mungkin.
Like awal-awal tahun dah booking. Kalau last minute, takut takdak seat dah
pastu nangis tak berlagu. Melepas nak merasa buat snowman.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Back to our story, after
dah hai-hai dengan semua ahli, confirmed kehadiran and checked in luggage,
kitorang boleh bergerak bebas untuk pergi solat and makan before naik flight.
So my family and I did just that and boyyy, do we made a
terrible judgment. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">At first, kitorang tak
sedar lagi tapi tiba-tiba lepas dah lalu gate Imigresen, kitorang baru tersedar
yang kitorang dah kesuntukan masa gila untuk berlari (Read: BERLARI) ke gate
pelepasan flight kitorang. Long story short, all of us became Usain Bolt and
managed to catch our flight (we were the last to arrive. What a way to make a
grand entrance. Rasa VVIP sangat).</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">When we arrived at
Incheon International Airport, we didn't face much difficulties to find our
guide (<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://arbatravel.com/"><b><span style="color: magenta;">Arba Travel</span></b></a> sediakan
guide rakyat Malaysia yang memang duduk kat Korea so very the easypeasy for us
to communicate with them). One thing that I noticed at the airport, we can
never get lost. I mean, you can try but signboards are everywhere man. Unless
you are like super lazy to read. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">While waiting for other
ahli setel amik luggage dorang and all, my family and I spent our first
thousands of KRW (Korean Won) at one of the mini marts in the airport. We
bought the super famous Banana milk and also few other super cute packaging drinks. </span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">After that, all of us
went straight to dinner at a really nice underground restaurant. It got dark
pretty early there since it was winter time. Sun sets around 5 pm. Lepas dah
kenyang, we went to check in at our hotel, Jungro Biz Hotel in Insadong and ended
our day one in South Korea.</span></div>

<span style="background: blue;">DAY TWO</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background: blue;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">What's best about this
trip is that every day, the journey started pada waktu yang reasonable. We
don't have to wake up sebelum Subuh or time
gelap-gelita-bulan-pun-masih-ada-kat-langit kinda hour. Setiap hari, kitorang
boleh bangun, bersiap, breakfast (Read: SEDAP GILA nasi lemak with kimchi and
telur rebus and sup seaweed. It's like birthday every day there. Two thumbs up
yaww) and berkumpul kat entrance hotel around 8 am (during the days where we
will be going to far places) or 8.30 am (when travelling to nearer ones or
around town).</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div class="separator" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Little did we know that
today our psycho motor ability will be tested to the max. Our journey started
early today as we are heading to Vivaldi Ski Park. Yup, we are going for skiing!!!
Weehuu right?? Damn right "Weehuu". Anyway, this Ski Park ada
featured dalam K-Drama Goblin and also The Legend Of The Blue Sea. No wonder it
was jammed pack masa kitorang pergi. Semua nak fenfeeling pegang salji yang
Gong Yoo dengan Lee Min Ho main lettew~</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">This is an optional
activity whereby kalau nak main ski, kena tambah RM318 per person (includes all
ski gears except gloves. Gloves kena beli kat situ or you guys boleh bawak
sendiri dari Malaysia. Untuk main ski, there is a special type of waterproof
glove that you need to wear in order to prevent your hands from getting cold
and wet when you touched the snow).</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Basically we need to
attend a 30-minutes ski lesson before entering the skiing area. But somehow my
family and I missed the class and need to jump start the activity with zero
knowledge in skiing. Like hello, of course we know nothing about skiing.
Sedangkan orang negara ada salji pun tak semua pandai nak ski, ni tetiba satu
keluarga orang Malaysia yang julung-julung kalinya nak main ski. Ohmai ohmai
ohmai what do we do. Well, we redah uolz. We made a bad ass decision by
choosing to ski at slopes for pros. Ahahahahahahh konfiden gila.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">It was crazy. CRAZY
FUN!!! I wouldn't say we managed to ski gracefully but we had a blast. Oh yeah
we did!! I highly recommended for everyone to at least try skiing once in their
lifetime. You might regret it when you are high up there on the slopes and you
have no other choice but to ski down by yourself. But trust me, you'll regret
more if you didn't try it at all. Sumpah best!!! Sampai sekarang kalau cerita
bab main ski ni boleh tergelak sampai jatuh kerusi. LOL.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">After a day long of
skiing, we went for dinner and malam tu aktiviti bebas. Some of us took subways
to travel farther to town but my family and I, we decided to go for sightseeing
around our hotel area in Insadong. There are so many shops that sell clothes,
bags, jewelries, foods, etc. But sadly, most of them closed early (around 8
pm-ish). So we just walked, tengok-tengok lampu and lepak at a cool cafe which
serves really tasty coffees and other beverages. We also singgah this one
24-hours mini mart and bought some tasty Korean brands snacks. To know which
products are Halal, korang boleh google and find out. Jangan main beli sebarang
yup.</span></div>

<span style="background: blue;">DAY THREE</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background: blue;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">We were all very eager to
start our third day because today we will be going to Nami Island. Yasss,
tempat shooting the very famous K-Drama zaman Arnab Gemok masih kesat hingus
kat baju sekolah lagi, Winter Sonata. </span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">I still remember my mom
cried while watching the ending. I still have no idea why is the drama so sad.
Haven't watched a single episode. Hmmm~maybe I should. Just to menjiwai
perasaan para peminat K-Drama. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Back to our journey,
before we head to Nami Island, we stopped by at Kyeongbokgung
Palace. </span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Cantik betul
istana-istana kat situ. The most excited person, of course, my mom (basically
my mom is the MOST happy person during the whole trip)!!!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Habis segala history tempat tu my mom
tanya kat tour guide. I don't even know what they talked about since my mom was
wayyy ahead jalan kat depan with the tour guide while me and le husband taking
our own sweet time taking photos and all along the way.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Sudahnya balik Malaysia, my mom cakap
"Apsal gambar mama ada sikit je kat istana ni?" My mom is so funny
and cute. ;P</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Regardless, Kyeongbokgung Palace is indeed
a very scenic place to visit. Visitors get to see the real interior of Korean's
palaces and royal houses. Cantik!!!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Then all of us boarded the bus and headed
to Nami Island. Anyways, FYI, untuk ke Nami Island kita semua kena naik feri.
But the ferry journey is like only 10 minutes or so. Macam baru nak fenfeeling
amik angin belayar, tahu-tahu "Eyh dah sampai." Hohoho.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Basically the main activity to be done at
Nami Island (apart from having scrumptious Dakgalbi and Teriyaki Chicken for
lunch), is to, yup you guessed it right, TAKE THOUSANDS OF MILLIONS OF PHOTOS.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Oh and also, I managed to buy 3 of the
super famous Nami Island pancakes. Beratur panjang gila. Rasa pancake just like
apam balik. Huhuhuew~</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">All in all, Nami Island is really
beautiful. They said that if we come during colder times, there'll be snowing
and icicles everywhere. But since masa kitorang datang tu tak snowing, so
nampak salji baki-baki dari snowing waktu malam sebelum tu je. Jadi laa~<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Nearing petang, we all berkumpul untuk
bergerak balik ke Insadong. Then we had dinner. Same as per yesterday, malam
acara bebas.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Ada yang dah gaya bebas atas katil right
after sampai hotel. But for my family, we decided to straight head out before
kedai-kedai best tepi jalan semua tutup like yesternight.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Boyyy, we were indeed very quick learners.
The third night here we managed to spend many of our KRW by buying bags, neck

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Next morning, we started off the day at Dongdaemun where we stopped by at a high end shopping mall where elites do their shoppings, Doota Mall. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
The ambiance of the mall is like a mix of Pavilion and Suria KLCC. But even more than that. Minus the Petrosains. Just kidding. But you got what I mean right. </div>
<div class="separator" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
Masa tu, this Arnab Gemok over here is actually sedang mencari-cari winter coat with fur hoody. Well of course, NOT the ones with real fur. I love animals <--- Important to state this before I'm being judged. :P</div>
<div class="separator" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
But you know, the ones with bulu-bulu kat hoody. Specifically coat hitam with pink faux fur. Yes, I know I sounded like a spoil brat who is very demanding. But whatever. Aku nak jugak! Hohoho.</div>
<div class="separator" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
And then, I did saw my dream winter coat at one of the racks. Tapi you know when I read the price tag, I just remembered that the shopping mall is for elites. :P</div>

Anddd, the best thing about Seoul is that it is INDEED a shopping heaven for EVERYONE.</div>
<div class="separator" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
It's like for every shopping malls they have, they also have street shops bertebaran around it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
What are street shops? Well, these are the shops that you wouldn't wanna miss. They called the bunch of street shops there as "market". Bukan market macam kat sini jual bahan mentah or lauk pauk tu taw.</div>
<div class="separator" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">

I, myself, got my dream winter coat there, at one of the street shops (Dongdaemun Market) just right in front of Doota Mall and it costs me less than RM200. You know what they say, shop hard but most importantly, remember to shop smart. ;)</div>
<div class="separator" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
Anyway, to be honest, our real shopping spree madness begins at our next destination, Myeongdong Fashion Street.</div>
<div class="separator" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
We always heard that at Myeongdong, there are gazillions of shops of internationally renowned cosmetics, beauty products and fashion brands. There are also numerous choices, lambakan of street foods (well, this one you gotta be careful and choose wisely what is suitable for Muslims, of course. But I swear there are many Halal foods available. You won't die of hunger at all. Guaranteed!!). </div>
<div class="separator" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
When I stepped my foot there, I came to the realization that everything I have heard about Myeongdong is TOTALLY TRUE!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
If Seoul is a shopping heaven, then Myeongdong takes the golden throne in the shopping heaven. IT IS AMAZESOME (amazing + awesome)!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
Needless to say more, I bought so many cosmetics and beauty products that I could last months without having to shop anymore. Alhamdulillah sebab duit pun memang dah habis. Hohoii~</div>
<div class="separator" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">

Well, who said the last day is gonna be sad, dull and a boring journey to the airport only?<br />
<br />
No it definitely is NOT!!<br />
<br />
Since we took flight petang (4.30 pm), we have lots of ample time to take on a final round of Seoul. So we went to the terlalu-famous-tak-tahu-nak-describe-macam-mana Namsan Tower or widely known as the "Love Locks Tower".<br />
<br />
Just a little tips from me, if you guys planning on to follow the trend and lock the love of yours at Namsan Tower, why don't you guys bring your own padlocks from Malaysia. Siap-siap dengan Sharpie sekali.<br />
<br />
Then you don't need to spend extra KRW there. Tinggal nak tulis, lock the padlock and posing-posing wajib with all the other padlocks (there are like millions other padlocks already).</div>

1. Did you know that there are many Koreans who speak Bahasa Malaysia? Well of course not fluently but yes, some of them (especially the shop owners at tourist attractions) can really converse and make jokes with us in understandable Bahasa Malaysia. I am amazed and proud at the same time, to think that citizens of other country took an effort to learn our language because they wanna be ready in case Malaysian tourists come to their shops. How cool is that.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One of the dessert shops in Insadong (I'm not sure what it's called in Malay but at the box stated "Dragon's Beard"). We didn't have any intention of buying at first but after hearing them talking to us in Bahasa Malaysia and even crack some really funny jokes, we bought 6 boxes yaww. >.<</div>

2. Did you know that even though the menu looks less diverse from ours here in Malaysia, Korean food is actually very appetizing and I don't mind eating em everyday. Sedap!!! Plus, they are healthy. And if they are serving fish or veggies, they ensure that whatever they are serving to us is fresh.<br />

When it comes to travelling to other countries, I have a few tips to share:<br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">1. Make sure bawa pakaian bersesuaian based on the weather forecast of the places you're going.</span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">2. Bring extra cash.</span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">3. Always be early to airport (jangan jadi Usain Bolt macam kitorang).</span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">4. Cari dan gunakan Travel Agents yang well known and trusted ( </span><a href="http://arbatravel.com/" style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: magenta;">Arba Travel</span></a><b style="color: #3d85c6;"> </b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">is one of the cool choices you can make).</span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">5. Kalau tak pakai Travel Agent, make sure your family and friends know where you're going. Especially for solo travelers.</span><br />
<br />
Alhamdulillah my travelling milestone leveled up before 2016 ended. And insyaAllah~2017 kalau ada rezeki, kita naik level lagi.<br />
<br /></div>
