Previous post~ EP01 : EP02

*its hard to get grip to blogging when i lose it once? twice? countless!*

We arrived at Busan Station around 02:20AM KST (approx 01:20AM waktu tanahair). super early & long night to go since our plan will start in the morning. So we just lingering around the station and find a seat so that we can sit, kill the time & catch some sleep.

Maybe its just my instinct says that we're safe evento' there's some homeless people also mingling around the station. and the homeless mostly in their golden aged. kesian sangat.

Let's share some interesting experiences :)

Throughout the night we met this ajumoni. kalau tengok pakaian, cantik. baju bunga-bunga hijau (kalau x silap). since we can't find a seat that can sleep, we just sit at any available seat. then this ajumoni come and seat near us. at 1st we just buat xtau je but me still wondering, why she's here in middle of the night? i can't heard what she's mumbling, but then dia bawak keluar buku and show the book to me. Bahie start whispering that she think this ajumoni "kurang" sihat akalnya. so we just ignoring her but she keep insist showing us the book & mumbling. then she's like marah-marah (based on her voice tone) coz we ignoring her. then Bahie understand what she want from us. She want us to say A B C D and write in her book. Bahie pun layan la ajumoni ni. After a while we just left the bench and seat at the floor in front of the ticket counter as the ticket counter open at 05:00AM.

I manage to catch some sleep around an hour while waiting for Subuh. Subuh pun masuk. Me went to the wash room. Since the wash room not Muslim friendly, bare in mind that empty mineral water bottle much needed here. Toilet dia xde paip, so kene isi air dalam botol utk basuh kaki. and i didn't that dare to wash my feet using the sink. Tempat orang, kene ikut budaya negara orang :)

Selesai semayang subuh, another interesting experience we encounter. Kitorg seriously tak perasan pun from where this ahjusshi came from and for how long he's looking at us. but i think he's maybe a taxi driver. After selesai semayang, this ahjusshi came and approached us. He want to buy us breakfast. he's talk in korean & nasib baik kitorg faham sikit-sikit.

(me with my limited vocab & bahie much have much more vocab compared to me!)

wooooooooooohaaaaaaaaaa. terkejut gile. siap tarik my lengan, suruh bangun and ask us to follow him for breakfast. takde niat nak menafikan kebaikan ahjusshi ni, tapi kene la bare in mind, we still kat unfamiliar place. safety first. We keep say it's ok in korean & thank you to resist his invitation while this ahjusshi keep insist us follow him for breakfast. maybe he think us traveler with limited amount of budget agaknya sampai sudi nak belanja makan. hihihihi. after push-pull scene, he's gave-up on us. btw ajusshi 고마워 :)

Around 07:00AM++ we walk to our 2 days stay @ Busan Cube Guest House. Nasib baik guest house dekat dengan Busan Station. Dalam 5 minit macam tu by walking distance. Since masih belum sampai masa untuk check-in, we just drop our bags kat guest house & courtesy guest house we were allow to used toilet to refresh our self. Then we walk back to Busan Station for breakfast. We choose Angel in Us Coffee for cozy breakfast to kill the time for city tour at 09:30AM. After filled-up out tummy, we moved to bus station to get ready for the tour. Tickets cost KRW10,000.00 & you can get the ticket from bus-driver.

The Tix!

Why city-tour? It help us A LOT. Since its our 1st time in Busan, its helps due to time constrains & unfamiliar must-visit places in Busan. Its convenient as well due to hoop-on-hoop-off-based. We can freely pick our stop and manage our time.

For today we pick Taejongde route. Tengok bas je dh teruja apatah lagi nak beli tiket kan? hashtag JAKUN!~ sharp 09:30AM bas bergerak. Don't be surprised if ramai korean dalam bas yang sama. They sort like tourist jugak~ wahahaha.

FYI kalo dalam list tu ada bridge itu ini....jgn pegi jerit kat ajusshi tu "BERENTI!! Saya nak amek gambar"! TAKDE! Takde konsep bas berenti tepi jalan - korang turun - amek gambar - pastu naik balik bas gaya macam kat penang bridge! Dia lalu je. so sila la nikmati pemandangan laluan atas bridge tu sebaiknya! :D

1st stop : 75 Square. Masa buat research ngan Bahie pun dah teruja tengok tempat ni.Sila google kalau tak percaya. Even header FB aku masih kekal dengan gambar ni sampai hari ini (btw aku update ni tahun 2015 dah ok! sila bertabah!). So kalau tak turun memang saja je la kan! Dengan angin pagi yang sepoi-sepoi tu, cuaca cerah yang tak berapa nak panas...maka time macam ni la best untuk amek gambar! snap-snap gambar. sempat la turun area bawah square tu. part turun memang BEST la kan...TAPI nak naik?? dengan stamina yang kejap-ada-kejap-takde ni~ memang BERSENAM sangat la kan di pagi hari.

my2cent tip #5 Since bas dia berjadual, sila la estimate berapa lama nak dok kat satu-satu tempat tu!

2nd stop : Taejongdae Park. Excited (campur #jakun) naik Danbi train. Pastu ni spot paling hampir kalau nak tengok pulau Tsushima kat Jepun nun! Kalau rezeki cuaca baik, nampak la pulau tu. in our case tak berapa nak kesah sangat nampak ke idok sebab park tu sendiri menarik. i mean the VIEW! Subhanallah! Korang penah tengok air laut kaler sort like emerland green tapi dalam gambar tak nampak sangat emerland green tu. haaa kat sini aku dapat pengalaman tu.

BTW naik ke atas je kami orang naik train, otw turun kami naik kaki je. Bersenam kaki la sangat! wahahahaha~ Prinsip travel aku adalah, to get the best view & experiences use your feet! walk around. So bila guna kaki, banyak la tempat ko boleh pijak kan? segala celah eruk batu kami orang masuk and tengok. turun naik tangga.

Sementara tunggu bas, kami sempat beli jagung rebus a.k.a oksusu! alas perut sebelum lunch! next was National Maritime Museum of Korea(International Cruise Terminal). kami skip hak ni since masa research xde la rasa sangat nak tengok perihal maritim korea neh kan?? wahahaha. then lalu Namhang Bridge and we stop at Songdo Beach!

Apa yang menarik di Songdo beach? kalau summer boleh la claimed best...wahahaha..tapi spring! angin sejuk tu masih ada. takde la nampak sesape mandi laut. dok atas pasir tepi gigi-gigi air tu adala. tambah pulak sampai area situ pukul 1500H++. imagine la matahari tengah terpacak walaupun tak berapa nak panas bagi pelancong malaysia ni!

my2cent tip #6 Spring considered as shift season from winter to summer. so panas dia sepoi-sepoi. tapi kering. so kalo korang takmo bertukar jadi separa dayang senandung bila balik malaysia, sila rajin-rajin pakai sunblock! :)

LAST stop was MAKAN! wahahaha. naik bus pegi Jagalchi Market. kene rewind sikit. sebelum keluar dari guess house sempat la tanya guess house rep where to eat sashimi and the price not that expensive? (wahahahahha~ abaikan!) and she kindly recommend us her 이모 (imo) shop. and even write the price of sashimi set that we should get. so here we go. *hungry*grin*

sampai je depan kedai, this cute 이모 pelik la. ape jadah dua orang budak pakai lilit-lilit dok depan kedai dia kan?? then bahie hulur jer kertas yang anak sedara dia tulis. baru la dia paham. terus suruh kami duduk. siap nak serve soju. wahahahaha. aku ngan bahie hashtag panik! then terus bagitau "이모, 물 즈세요" a.k.a "imo, mul juseyo" a.k.a "aunty, please give me plain water" pastu kami dua-dua gelak.

Since i'm not fussy when comes to food, we super excited to have fresh cut sashimi for lunch. one great thing about korean, diorang tak kedekut langsung bab side-dishes ni. segala sayur, sos semua dia letak & its refillable. kalo dah perut memang lapar, hidang la apa atas meja memang aku ngan bahie ngap! ngap! ngap! wahahaha~ tengok macam sikit tapi kalo dah refillable side-dish tu dok ngap! ngap! ngap! jugak sampai kitorang terlupa yang penutup untuk sashimi is sup. dah nak menghabiskan sup tu dengan perut ketat memang slow la! gigih jugak kaedahnya! :)

nikmat selepas makan adalah nak berjalan-jalan pulak area BIFF ngan Busan Tower. hahahaha..in slow mode jugak kaedahnya. tambah pulak nak ke Busan Tower tu naik bukit! *sila imagine* wahahahaha..kami tak lama di BIFF. kat Busan Tower pun just lingering around and amek gambar. then we walk to train station back to our guess house!

Back to guess house been told that our backpack dah dibawa masuk ke bilik. tinggal nak amek kunci & ajar macam mana nak bukak pintu. Finally shower! wahahahaha..nikmat sangat.

After some rest we're out again! since we saw banner some festival been held at gwangali beach that night. Dah sampai tu baru tau it's sort like festival for fisherman and its call gwangalli eobang festival. so festival mesti ada bunga api. nyanyi-nyanyi. we strolling around the beach and hv some snap! snap!

my2cent tip #7 Do master your digital camera / phone camera / DSLR or what ever you bring along esp for night-shot, fireworks shot! if you wish to have great memorable pictures :)

we call-off our night after we had our dinner at caffe bene~ its fulled-tiring-fun-day!

goodbum people! see you tomorrow~ wehehehehe~

byeome!

What A Day To Spend!

{sila bersabar dengan #spring2013 post yang dh lama terbengkalai. akan disambung}

[PERINGATAN: Post ini adalah pendapat & pengalaman peribadi saya.]

Hari ni nak story-mory kesah how i spend my saturday! terutamanya hari ini 11.10.14!

Since i have 2 weeks more to "balik kampung", nak-tak-nak-suka-atau-tak i HAVE to get-up & renew my passport! Eventually it will be expired next year but since time to balik kampung dengan date expired passport less than 6 month so WAJIB renew.

Actually it was my 4th visit to UTC. More specifically twice at Pudu & once at Sentul! Last week only! termasuk lawatan hari ni dh jadi 2nd visit to UTC Sentul.

Kalau ditanya pada pakcik Google "UTC Sentul" or "UTC Pudu" memang semuanya indah-indah respondnya! Baca review 4sq pun sama. even kawan-kawan pun bagitau diorg renew passport lepas office hour & siap malam tu jugak. Pantas sangat!

Sudahnya cik kiah pun terpengaruh la dengan respond yang baik-baik ni. Sebab tu jadi sampai 4 kali melawat UTC dalam masa 2 minggu~

i is tidak mahu menafikan the good side of kewujudan Urban Transformation Center ini yang sangat memudahkan rakyat maharen seperti i. Tak perlu amek & bazir cuti semata-mata nak renew passport, renew lesen, tukar IC dsb! bukak sampai 10.00 malam. lepas keje sempat lagi nak pegi buat segala urusan yang berkaitan dengan agensi kerajaan. Thumbs up for the initiative.

{cerita minggu lepas}

Since UTC ni bukak hujung minggu, makanya i pun plan nak pegi renew passport hari sabtu. disebabkan mindset telah disogok dengan berita-berita indah, makanya i keluar rumah dalam tengah hari dengan niat lunch & renew passport (+ membeli beberapa barang keperluan di Mydin. Lama doh tak jejak kaki Mydin Pudu tuh. ok tu cerita sampingan)

Polisi i bila masuk KL == public transport. no driving. sabtu. saje cari padah kejong kaki nanti. bab parking lagi satu cerita asam garam cik kiah. so cik kiah ni bergerak ke UTC dengan kadar-kadar santai macam pelancong berjalan masuk KL. wahahahaha. sampai interchange station Masjid Jamek amek kau, gile ramai orang kat platform. dengan terik panas. habuk jerebu. tren yang datang belum tentu dapat masuk padahal pudu sentral tu satu station je.

tren sampai. gigih squeezekn diri menyelit masuk. sampai pudu sentral cik kiah amazed. wooooooooooooohaaaaaaa. chantek kau! last jejak kaki kt pudu time kene pegi Sungai Petani for PTM Bootcamp kot which is early 2012!

mula cik kiah mengagau-gagau cari kat mana pejabat imigresen neh...panjat tangga sampai level 3..keluar then nampak pintu kaca. tolak masuk. pusing-pusing baca signboard tak nampak tulis imigresen. keluar balik pintu kaca. turun level 2. masuk pintu kaca. baru nampak signage tulis imigresen. time sampai almost at 2PM. ramai la rakyat maharen duduk kat luar pejabat tu. pegi dekat pintu masuk.

bammmm.

"NO GILIRAN UNTUK HARI INI TELAH MENCAPAI HAD MAKSIMA"

i wah HUH? ada maximum limit ke? ok. kalau dah mcm tu takde guna la kita menunggu kan..maka kaki terus bergerak melangkah ke Mydin & PS Boutique.

Then balik dr PS Boutique terfikir why not try pegi UTC Sentul plak. kot-kot la orang tak ramai kan? so dr terminal putra tawakal drive pegi Sentul. Parking kt Sentul ini ikut bertuah and cik kiah agak bertuah bilamana masuk UTC tu terus ada parking. alhamdulillah. then naik la pegi pejabat imigresen.

"NO GILIRAN UNTUK HARI INI TELAH MENCAPAI HAD MAKSIMA"

#hampa

terus turun. hujan lebat. great. balik singgah pak uda grill. lamb chop.

sekian cerita lawatan 2 UTC di hari sabtu.

Then i plan to singgah semula UTC Pudu after office hours on Tuesday. since its still raya haji leave-extention for some KL-sters, traffic quite smooth that day. but still jammed la jalan pudu tu. dari simpang masuk sampai nak naik parking pudu sentral yang jalan kaki 10 minit dah sampai tu, takes me almost 30 minutes just to reach the parking. at the end sampai depan pejabat imigresen 7.20PM. Since waktu rehat diorg 7PM-8PM, so rakyat maharen ni tunggu la depan office.

bammmm.

"NO GILIRAN UNTUK HARI INI TELAH MENCAPAI HAD MAKSIMA"

LAGI? aik! even nak dapat service at 8PM dah takde queue number ke? pukul berapa nak kene amek number sebenarnya?? dah la penat. lapar. so cik kiah decide tunggu kejap sambil wassap ngan bahie. Bahie penah cite dia renew passport kol 8PM & sampai UTC dalam 6.50PM. Dia ada bagi tau dia rasa mcm UTC Pudu xde limit queue number. UTC Sentul ada limit katanya. Encik RELA yang bertugas pun advise suh dia datang balik kol 8PM untuk amek nombor. so memang dia dapat no giliran pukul 8PM. see? nampak tak apa expectation cik kiah yang penat & lapar ni? sabar & ketahanan pun dah tak berapa nak banyak.

Then lalu cik RELA bagitau, nombor giliran mmg dah habis untuk hari ini. tapi as always as #SoMalaysian kita in-denial-mode & tak percaya sampai pegawai imigresen yang bgtau. tetap jugak tunggu sampai kaunter bukak. at 8PM pintu office bukak. terus rakyat maharen yang dah beratur menderu masuk pegi kat kaunter no giliran. cik kiah pesen tak reti la sesak2. rebut2. so kita jadi pemerhati kat luar. sah la no giliran dah habis after seeing one-after-another rakyat maharen keluar.

this is upsetting. sampai cik kiah tweet @imigresenMY tanya at what time i should come just to get the queue number? any reply? it will be great if i got any *sarcastic* but BERTUAH KAU nak dapat reply! memang TAK LA kan? wahahahaha.

balik rumah. hampa. penat. lapar. and kena bayar parking sejam RM3.

{baru sampai cerita hari ini}

memandangkan minggu ni hectic dengan statistik-excel-statistik-sql-excel yang tak sudah plus sort-like freaking out cik.puan.s dpt tau cik kiah nak cuti "balik kampung", makanya xde la sempat nk amek time-off pegi P15 nak renew passport. plus i still hv the +ve vibe for UTC. xpe la kita cuba pegi renew hari ni.

{out-of-topic-start}

semalam cerita #bajet2015. my say? read again dekat kotak belah kanan tulis spazzing tu. i've loss hope. that's all i can conclude. jangan rakyat maharen ni bertukar jadi miskin bandar sudah la. InsyaAllah. percaya rezeki Allah ada untuk setiap hambanya. bersyukur dengan nikmat tu WAJIB kan! :)

{out-of-topic-end}

sampai rumah dh letih sangat bahana hari khamis sempat tido 3jam++ gara-gara excel yg call pukul 5PM rabu nak suh reply balik hari khamis sblm kol 10AM. memang gigih la cuba siapkan. last-last kederat habis. padahnya letih tu been dragged.

so hari ni bangun awal & gigih pegi UTC Sentul utk renew passport. smpi UTC dalam kol 0800H selepas 2 kali round cari parking at last park kete dekat LRT Sentul & jalan kaki pegi UTC. Sampai atas. hamek kau queue macam ular. xpe la. kita remain positif. hopefully dalam tengah hari settle la renew with plan in mind after renew nk pegi daiso kat pavi.

office bukak tepat kol 0800H. dapat my queue number at 0834H. 1194. Officer tu dah pesan, datang balik lepas 2-3 jam. ok la 2-3 jam je kot tunggu. so masa beratur tu sempat la baca tips kt 4sq. diorang review nasi lemak nurul utc sentul ni sedap. so lepas dapat queue number cik kiah sarapan nasi lemak. lega sikit perut dh terisi.

lepas sarapan cik kiah masuk balik dlm pejabat imigresen dengan mindset setakat tunggu 2-3 jam no harm la kot. belek2 tab bc twitter, ralit baca e-novel can be done to killed the time kan? thats what i expect la. and bile dh duduk aku perasan yang

"NO GILIRAN UNTUK HARI INI TELAH MENCAPAI HAD MAKSIMA"

huh? baru pukul 9++ lebih kot. #daebak

so cik kiah buat calculation sendiri. max serving 400 people per day. from 0830H to 2200H. just 400. so no giliran start 1000 - 1300 queue number (for normal) & 2000 - 2100 (special needs, OKU, senior citizen). so kalau korang datang UTC pukul 1000H ke atas memang sah-sah la nampak

"NO GILIRAN UNTUK HARI INI TELAH MENCAPAI HAD MAKSIMA"

kat pintu! time tu tayah tunggu. balik. esok datang beratur awal pagi. ada pakcik tu cik kiah dengar dia beratur kol 0700H. Dekat Pudu much more worst. At 0630H queue dh panjang.

Dalam kol 1100H cik kiah rs mcm nombor queue yang dipanggil tu makin slow. cik kiah decide kuar jalan-jalan sekitar UTC tu. sempat la beli bekas ubat. tawaf area UTC, naik balik pejabat imigresen. nombor giliran makin slow. kaunter utk serahan passport lama tinggal 2 je. haih. pukul berapa nak kn panggil ni? xpe sabar lagi.

pukul 1300H tetiba voice-over yang panggil no.giliran tu senyap! and semua officer dh xde kat kaunter. homai. diorg keluar lunch while 100++ people ahead of me still waiting.

bammmm. cik kiah surprised.

cik kiah expect sort-like-rotation-lunch-time among the officers so that urusan masih berjalan walaupun in-slow-mo mode. at least la kan. tapi memang in-halt! senyap. dekat pintu pun xde pulak tulis time lunch kaunter sort-like-takde-urusan. just tulis kol 1900H - 2000H je time rehat! nampak tak tak tele kt situ? cik kiah dah mula lapar balik tapi kalo keluar time tu mmg xde dpt tpt makan la. dh semuanya pegi makan LUNCH!

at the end pukul 1520H baru no 1194 tu dipanggil utk serahan passport lama dengan ambil gambar! after 7 jam ok cik kiah bermastautin kt UTC Sentul tu. Ini kalo pegi pavillion tengok wayang lunch siap belum tentu sampai balik UTC no giliran naik. kalo aku tau gini gayanya, memang aku balik rumah sambung tido!

dah la cik kiah pesen amek gambar, senyum tu nk kena senyum nmpk gigi. dah kene tutup mulut pulak. makanya gambar passport cik kiah awkward sangat. nak kata senyum pun tak. tak senyum pun tak. ntah. awkward. nak tgk beza gambar passport taun lepas ngan taun ni? visit my IG. #ayatgayasellerIG

1529H no 1194 naik utk bayaran dekat kaunter 8 & 1555H passport baru dh boleh collect dekat kaunter 10-12.

korang tengok timeline masa tu! and nilaikan la sendiri ye. till the end my endurance & sabar tinggal sikit. bile lapar & letih MENUNGGU, emosi pun kucar kacir. tweeting selang 5 saat!

lepas amek passport-gambar-awkward tu, sempat rasa nasi ayam. sedap jugak! lunch at 1600H.

sebelum cik kiah tutp tirai, nak la pesan beberapa perkara:

1. kalau queue number korang dh reach 1100++ sila balik rumah dulu. basuh kain. angkat kain. lipat kain. buat la apa yang patut dibuat. kalo plan nk dating tgk wayang silakan pegi. datang balik dalam 1400H. masa tu dah nak sampai queue number. tayah la bazir masa & tenaga menunggu.

2. jangan cari kaunter no.3. MEMANG TAKDE. so kalau tulis kaunter penerimaan 1-5 ilusi fikiran adalah ada 5 kaunter kan? HAKIKATNYA ada 4 je! Kaunter 6-7 untuk special needs (no giliran start ngan 2000). kalau special needs dh selesai serahan then baru kaunter 6-7 tu calling queue number start with 1000~

3. lepas serahan passport lama & tangkap gambar, tayah jalan jauh-jauh. dalam setengah jam - 40 minit boleh buat payment & passport siap!

4. make sure cip IC boleh berfungsi; terutamanya sesape yg blom tukar ke IC baru (mcm cik kiah)

5. make sure your mobile phone battery FULLED. power bank are FULLED if you plan to stay kt UTC.

6. bring along shawl or sweater along. the air-cond quite cold.

5. wear something dark! tudung gelap. baju gelap. new passport in black & white.

p/s: next time i just have to take time-off 2-3 hours from office & renewing my passport at putrajaya. i guess no more UTC for me.

AND I LEARNED MY LESSON.

#spring2013 - Episode 2 : The Arrival~

+plain-jane 22:41 0 Comments

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!

As'salam,

Ai memang lemau bab nak update blog walaupun semuanya dh hujung jari. notebook. tablet. henpon. cukup. tapi idea nak menulis & kederat nak mengarang tu yang takde. kalau disuruh pilih makan & tido; ai pilih tido. apetah lagi antara menulis dengan tido. jawapannya?? *jom fikir* hihihi.

previous post dah ngomel-ngomel manja 3 tahun dalam public service. cerita hard-core tayah la cerita. nanti ada cakap ai tak bersyukur pulak dapat keje in this line. walaupun sebenarnya niat cerita tu nak cerita cabaran in public service sekarang bukan macam dulu. *whatever!*

this time nak cerita feeling-suka-duka-pahit-maung-jerit-perit bila nombor kat depan tu tukar jadi no.3~ jom! *ada ke orang baca nie??*
