#spring2013 - Episode 2 : The Arrival~

mood: holiday strikes!
selected track: DH & EH - 아직도 난

hello Seoul! like FINALLY hell yeah!

but before that let's have a glimpse my personal experienced in AA flight. just my recommendations tho' :)

My shuper-faulty-short-term-memory-lost!

Lupa booking in-flight meals (pegi-balik ye!). so i'm super starving in the flight for 6 hours, eventho' i'ved already had Dunkin Donut breakfast before flight-off. hehehe. Thankfully b4 flight balik, we (me, Kak Nanie & Bahie) had our lunch at the airport. makan kenyang2. after check-in bedal Starbucks banana frapp kt departure hall! Bahie also willingly to share her in-flight meal with me! hing! thanks a lot!

my2cent tip #3 if you wanna save your cent for in-flight meals, make sure you packed some sweets or small pack of biscuits in you hand luggage :)

Lupa roaming hand-phone! this was the super-duper-failed-of-me. since Celcom offer RM36/day for roaming, for me its a good deal. so for 10-days trip, i a bit disconnected. once a while i tethering bahie's mobile & used guest-house wifi facilities!

my2cent tip #4 if you didn't want to roaming, do look for korean prepaid simcard. please google for more. I've no idea about this at all. *sorry*

just in-case! bring just enough Ringgit Malaysia cash in flight. this case i do refer a couple that seated beside me. i think they are American. hungry. want to buy in-flight meals but no RM in-hand. just CC. end-up they "sort-like" disappointed with the services. I've no say about this, since i also didn't know that Only-Cash policy in-flight sbb i penah tengok CC transaction in flight been done before. not AA flight la.

flight take-off at 9AM & touch-down at Seoul at 4:20PM! after all clearance & back-pack pick up we went to convenient store to purchased T-Money. This is must buy item for easy-breazy-subway-mode! then we moved to from airport subway to seoul station to catch our train ticket to Busan ^_^.

hello-seoul!

Seoul-at-glimpse : for me it's super fast. the people moved really fast.

night outside Seoul Station! see the traffic?

We planned for midnight train to Busan so that we'll arrived around 5AM but unfortunately it sold-out. so we catch 9.15PM train & arrived at Busan around 2.20AM -.-. while waiting for depart to Busan, we get our dinner at the station food-court. Its advisable you find something related to seafood. so we have seafood kimchi-jigae & rice. Since i'm quite tired (related to previous post) so i decided to shared the meal with Bahie. (dh balik mesia, i do feel guilty bout this).

After dinner we walk around the station & depart to Busan via Mugunghwa train for KRW28,000/person. For budget travellers like us commute by KTX is never an option. So bare with it. It's not that bad tho'. Like KTM kelas ekonomi :)

Platform & Train

Thanks to group of Korean girls!

Time to depart. It's super cold while waiting at the platform. with heavy backpack i didn't want to put the bag down. berat oiii! wahahahaha. so ketar2 jugak la sementara menunggu train sampai. FYI train ni bergerak sharp at 9.10PM ye. bukan kol 9.10PM tu baru nak terhegeh2 naik train. It's advisable 15-20 minutes before dh ada kat platform tu.

Hanya tuhan je tahu letih tahap apa masa ni tp excited sheds all!

chulbal!

Selca itu adalah wajib! wahahahahaha. Bare in mind, since it's cheap, kene tahan sebab train ni stop almost all station. So memang bising sikit. Plus akan certain stop train agak penuh & ada penumpang yang berdiri. Along the way, me enjoying a night-view. malas pulak nak amek gambar dalam train yang bergerak-gerak :) then we dozed off!

See you in Busan peeps! next post ok! byeome!

#spring2013 - Episode 1 : Prelude~

+plain-jane 19:05 0 Comments

Mood: swing! hype & moody flipping over every 2 second!

Selected track: EXO 으르렁

*post ini akan berlarutan hingga n-less episodes; which i didn't know when it's gonna be end!*hihihihi~ bare with me!*

i always keep in mind that someday! someday! i'll visit Seoul (at that moment). People may say ayat-ayat standard mcm ni:

1. "Ini semua penangan k-pop ni~"

2. People: "Banyak la negara lain dlm dunia ni~ Korea jugak? why?"

Me: k-pop inspired me! and I'm thankful for it~

Some people inspired by k-drama but not me. I'm not following latest k-drama like others. my k-drama knowledge were backdated 3-4 years back! and i'm someone who can't wait every week for new episode BUT i can attached in front of my lappy to marathon 16-episodes (*at least) & watch 45 minutes - 1 hour for each episode~ JANJI that drama get a good review. hihihihi~

OK! back-to-business.

Walaupun dalam mind memang simpan niat nak pegi & urge to see friends keep visiting that country repeatedly makes me wonder why as well~ something that's made them always want-to-go~ Ada sorang tu mcm dah trip balik kampung~ like almost every year i guess? hihihihi~ kan Bahie kan?

For me nak kata planned trip pun tak jugak sebab i didn't have particular plan for oversea trip in mind esp early of this year. After dinner with Bahie awal Januari tu, pun masih belum beri persetujuan. masih 40-60. masih tertakluk pada jadual kerja yang takkan dan tak pernah akan habis! ±2 minggu jugak la memikir esp bab bajet~ plus it's 10 days trip!

but someone says this to me "Kerja takkan habis Aina & don't put yourself in regrets. Just go! At least for once!"

Made up my mind and the day for purchased the tix! and it becoming more special trip since i made up my mind & purchased flight tix on my 31-st birthday. eventho the flight amount reach 1k but takpe la. sekali sekala belanja diri sendiri. hik!

So flight return KL-Seoul (inclusive AirAsia Insure, 20kg check-in luggage) = RM 1137.00 ^_^

Alhamdulillah! Flight settle. Kalo boleh lompat bintang di pejabat memang dah buat. wahahahaha~ senyum panjang. pastu terus roger Bahie!

my2cent tip #1 : Purchased your tix as early as you could~ AA ni style lagi awal beli lagi murah. Pastu rajin-rajin la jenguk promo. MAS pun kalo kene time promo memang murah tiketnya~

Next thing are PLANNING the whole trip. Since Bahie quite familiar with Seoul, we more focus on Jeju & Busan; where both of us didn't familiar with~!

my2cent tip #2 : pick your favourite season. Winter is not an option for me personally~ hatta dok dalam air-cond office pon dah kejong~ apetah lagi winter~ i'll pick spring & autumn as my most fav season to travel ;)

Planning tak susah kalau dapat gang yang bleh bekerjasama. Thankful it's just 2 of us! It's all about surveying! Time ni ENCIK GOOGLE adalah kawan baik saya!

Both of us quite tight with our work schedule from Jan-Mac, most of the time we chat via GTalk & shared document through google drive~ Gladly Bahie banyak main peranan throughout this trip. Create excel sheet for travel itinerary (flight, accommodation & meals) with estimation budged plus conversion of currency. TQ! :)

After all "google"-ing process with list of places that we want to visit (obviously main attractions & it's our own list), what food that we want to eat (esp in Busan), we met up just to discuss & finalize the trip itinerary~ Most suitable place are Starbucks, Gardens! Free wifi & cozy seating! Notebook is a must! We spend from lunch to dinner for it! its not easy to finalize whole thing since both of us keep tempted with nice view places~ kahkahkah~

Accommodation at Busan & Jeju, Bahie booked it via Booking.com while i'm in-charged to book domestic flight (Busan-Jeju-Seoul) and we picked JejuAir. All the expenses will be detailed out later~ :)

Passport application settle on Feb kt P15 je. itu pun mintak time-off office hour. mujurla dalam 2 jam lebih dah siap. My parents hanya tahu my trip 2 weeks before the date!

Since my Feb-March schedule filled with training & meeting i do target on April my calendar x penuh~ Sempat la nak menguruskan saki baki kerja sebelum bercuti panjang. Unfortunately minggu utk fly to korea tu, aku diarah untuk attend kursus kt Port Dickson from Rabu - Jumaat. Y__Y

Pada awalnya memang nama aku naik utk attend kursus ni tapi memandangkan aku dah dapat kelulusan bercuti & kebenaran ke luar negara, they replace my name to my roomate. Nak dijadikan cerita, aku datang office mcm biasa sbb memang tahu yg my roomate (yang dh packing & bawa beg berat dtg office) akan gerak ngan bas office dalam t/hari.

Dah masuk office mcm biasa since my dept arrange bengkel sistem so tak la busy mana. by 10AM my bos wat keputusan tak bagi my roomate pegi PD dengan alasan perlukan suara emas dia utk corporate video. Since dah xde orang lain, and that time aku still in-charged of network, aku diarah untuk ganti. memang panas hati time tu!

The best part is arahan tu disummon pada hari rabu tu. Aku dah la belum habes packing for #spring2013 trip pastu kene "seru" suruh pegi PD. My roomate plak dah siap kemas n bawa beg utk ke PD. Both of us speechless!! Memandangkan keje dlm field SYMP ni, tarik2 muka pun buat jugak la arahan tu.

Memang jadi satu kerja pulak aku kene drive patah balik rumah (around 11AM) kemas baju & drive back from Gombak to PD. Tuhan je tahu rasa sakit jiwa masa tu. Since dah suruh pegi, makanya aku pun kemas meja mana yang patut n leave the office. nasib la! OTW balik sempat singgah money changer & beli sling bag.

Sampai PD around 5PM (plus sesat pegi hotel lain~). Semua orang terkejut tengok aku attend meeting malam tu. Aku malas nak fikir dah. Cuma aku bgtau "big" boss yang aku have to balik khamis petang since my flight on Friday morning! Letih tu tuhan je yang tahu~ nasib baik la Avillion PD tu cantik tempatnya~

Khamis around 5PM mcm tu baru kursus habes & me terus drive balik KL. Sampai rumah dalam 8PM mcm tu bukannya boleh packing terus. Unpacking beg dr PD, mandi, makan, kemas sikit bag pack, check & reply e-mel office with all the amanat sepanjang i on-leave. then baru start packing barang-barang masuk backpack! literally around 3AM baru settle semua. Tido2 ayam je takut terbabas.

5AM abah hantar pegi KL Sentral! jumpa Bahie kat sana & naik bas to LCCT! my trip FINALLY begun! *TERUJA* ok! my 1st ever oversea trip! *ok! jakun!*

btw all the way from KL Sentral to LCCT i tido2 ayam. Letih badan toksah cakap! mujur tak pitam je. kuatkan kederat sbb trip ni!

cerita seterusnya sambung next post! nama pun episode 1 : prelude kan? kehkehkeh! *evil*grin* >.<

byeome!

I have to admit that i'm not a good blogger. To be honest i'ved lost my spirit to blog like i used to be. why? I wonder why as well. *hik*laziness-one-of-the-reasons*

I wonder why i'm still awake at 4am in the morning!

I wonder why I like Adam Lavine!

I wonder why I'm SUPER careless today!

I wonder why i'm blogging again?

Mansuh PTPTN?

+plain-jane 23:52 2 Comments

(Maaf saye xde jawapan kenape 8 bulan x update blog~ kalau nak jawapan klishe refer post sebelum2 nie~ but kotak tweet sebelah ni laju tau, macam chat room! ^_^ )

Minggu ni heboh pasal PTPTN~ mansuh terus? mansuh caj pentadbiran? kekalkan ptptn?

baru baca post ni~ secara tak langsung pendapat yang diberikan oleh blogger boleh dipertimbangkan dan difikir-fikirkan~

Besides hal-hal berkaitan caj pentadbiran, public relation PTPTN yang selalu diperkatakan & isu convert pinjaman jadi biasiswa kpd 1st-class students banyak lagi isu yang berlu ditimbangtara sebelum keputusan mansuh dibuat~
