Hari ini hari Isnin.

*throwback post*

Hi.

Hari ini hari Isnin.

Monday.

I hate Monday.

Why?

Because I have to work.

First day of the week back to work memang gonna be the worst day. And nobody knows why.

Maybe selepas a long tiring weekend so to start working right after tu macam tak best kot. 

But my weekend semalam was very unproductive. Apa pun tak buat. Melepek sepanjang hari. Still I don't feel the urge to get up and head to work.

Siap bangun lambat lagi.

Nasib baik tempat kerja dekat dengan rumah.

Kalau tak, mampos!

Hahaha

Anyway, how's your Monday?

Kalau untuk orang yang bekerja tu, saya faham lah Isnin awak dekat tempat kerja. Selalunya hari Isnin the first thing you're looking forward is that morning break kan? Nak gi breakfast dengan colleague. Freshen up gossip dulu. Kheeeenn? Ahahahahahahahha!

Saya pula kalau Monday, adalah hari melengah lengah kan kerja. 

Masuk kerja first thing to do ialah kemas work station. Ye lah. Dah tinggal a few days kan. Mesti berhabuk sikit meja ni. Jadi saya buat spring cleaning a bit. Memandangkan boss tak nak hire cleaner, sebab memang tak perlu pun. Office kecik je. Semua boleh buat sendiri. Tak payah membazir.

Lepas dah selesai buat mini spring cleaning, I switch on my laptop. Baca update on facebook. Sambil tangan lagi satu refresh Twitter timeline dekat smartphone. Selesai both part, saya buka blogger pulak. Check traffic. Check comment. Lepas tu click new post, sekonon nak update blog. Tapi termenung seploh minit duk pikir nak tulis apa.

Kerja? Apa tu? Cekelat eh?

Hahahahahahahahahhahahahaha

Ok. Sejujurnya, saya belum sentuh satu pun kerja pejabat pada hari ini. Muahahahahahah! Pekerja apa la macam ni?? Hahaha! No lah. Truth is, I got no work left pun. Semua dah settel last week. Eheheheheheee. Nanti ada kerja, saya resume la balik. ;p

Dulu masa kerja dekat Bora Ombak, saya first time experience cuti hari Isnin. Ha ah. Dekat situ, our weekend is Monday. Gila bliss masa tu. Sebab since forever memang benci hari Isnin bcos it's the first day of the week and kene kerja or sekolah. But bila dah kerja dekat Bora, macam looking forward to that day. Sebab coti! ahahahahahha!

Tapi yang tak seronoknya, everyone else kerja. Awak sorang je cuti. Takkan la nak keluar dengan colleague. Dah la jumpa hari2 kat tempat kerja. Time cuti pun nak keluar sesama lagi? Hadoi!

Kalau duduk KL, cuti on Monday pun tiada guna. Sebab that day memang hari sibuk. Traffic jem everywhere. Semak! 

So technically hari Isnin ni, cuti ke, kerja ke, memang kesimpulannya tak best. Unless if you can just sleep all day becos that's what you want. Haa itu...memang terbaik! Kalau macam tu...saya nak hari2 hari Isnin. Muahahahahahahahahhahahahhah!

Itu cerita Isnin saya. 

How bout yours?

One Post Everyday...

*throwback post*

I started blogging again earlier this month. 

Sebelum tu blogging macam nak tak nak je. Kejap ada, kejap takde. Dah macam biskut. 

Kalau ada post baru pun, I didn't actually write that much. Semua nye entri yang entah apa apa. Suka hati sesedap rasa je nak mengomel dalam ni. Sikit pun tak berilmiah. 

And now, I posted an entry almost everyday. 

Panjang lebar pulak tu.

Ada je story kan?

Sebenarnya, saya bukannya tulis hari2 tau. Saya cuma post hari2. 

Most of the post was wrote on previous day or maybe two days before. Lepas tu saya schedule je bila nak post and just click publish. Sebab tu hari2 ada je entri. Padahal tak tulis hari2 pun. 

Macam today, saya dah tulis and published 3 entry termasuk yang ini. Hari ni, semasa menulis entry ini, it is 24hb Disember pukul 6.33pm. But I'm planning to post this on the 27th of December 2014 in the morning. 

Jadi awak semua baca entri ini hari Jumaat, hari ini. Tapi sebenarnya saya dah tulis entri ini 3 hari yang lepas. 

Faham tak apa yang saya cuba sampaikan?

Because I am starting to get confuse myself. 

LOL

But macam tu lah saya rasa cara2 untuk all bloggers out there did to make sure that their blog updated every day or as often as they can. Sebab come on lah, kalau kita duk aim nak update hari2 tapi duk la nak tulis and post on the same day, kita takkan boleh oi. 

I mean, ingat senang ke idea menulis tu nak datang every day?

Unless if memang awak tu writer. Kerja memang menulis je. But even writer plan on what to write.

 Sebab tu it's better if you keep on writing je if idea tu dah sampai. Jangan tunggu sampai esok. Tulis je. Selagi mencurah curah idea tu. Don't wait. Nanti terlupa. Menyesal ok.

And then when in one day, you wrote more than one entry, janganlah rajin pulak pergi post everything on one day. Buat rugi tarikh je. Post one today and schedule the other one untuk esok. Tak rugi pun. Untung lagi ada tau. 

Sebab hari2 orang datang your blog to read. Increase lagi traffic. Kan best gitu kan?

Okbye!

Saya Tourist Sejati Kota Tokyo Pt.2

*throwback post*

Hi!

Ok meh sambung cerita pasal Tokyo.

Kita cerita pasal flight ticket dulu. 

First time dulu, ticket kapal terbang saya berharga at only RM 719. And then the second trip cost me at RM 918. While the third trip was slightly cheaper, RM 897.

Yes. Itu harga for return tickets. Plus dengan tax, insurance, baggage, seat and on flight meal.

Why so cheap?

Ok meh I tell you the trick.

1. Air Asia akan keluar flight schedule for every 8 months. So if nak pergi during Autumn, bulan October, sila check for flight details as early as March.

2. Clear cache dulu before browse for flight tix.

3. Salah satu advantage Jepun ni ialah lately ni banyak earthquake. So I advise you, everytime you heard yang Japan ade earthquake, cepat2 check for flight tix. Sebab during this time, they will most probably lower the price sebab takut orang tamau pergi Jepun. LOL! No. Serious. Saya tak main2. Kalau tak caya, you try la.

4. Jangan booking last minute. Last minute tu yang mahal. Sebab you have no other choice.

5. Book as early as you can. Paling lewat I bought my tix, 5 months ahead. 

6. Also, trick ini mostly work out untuk yang nak travel during Summer, Autumn & Winter sahaja. During Spring, I'm sorry. Tak boleh tolong. Sebab during this season, semua nak balik Jepun. Sebab nak tengok bunga Sakura. So peluang untuk dapat ticket murah adalah sangat tipis.

7. Plan hari pergi dan balik during weekdays. Hari Selasa paling senang nak dapat seat murah. 

Ok there you have it.

Tips tips ni saya tak berani jamin keberkesanannya. But this is what I've been doing since 3 years ago. Sebab tu belum pernah lagi ticket flight saya cecah seribu ringgit. So why not awak cuba try buat apa yang saya buat before. If it does work out for you, then, you're welcome!

LOL

Itu cerita flight ticket. Now kita cerita pasal accommodation pulak. Mana nak duduk dekat Jepun nanti? Where to survey? Which yang comfortable dan murah?

Every year saya browse hotel dekat Hostelworld. This website for me, sangat convenient. Sebab I love dia punya filter button. Lepas tu yang tulis review are mostly genuine people. I once terbaca ada owner hotel dengan customer bergadoh dekat review sebab the customer tak faham rules & ethics. Gila!

Anyway..browse dekat website ini bukan bermakna anda juga harus book hotel dari sini. Oh no no no. Tidak. Salah tanggapan itu. Website ini just nak membantu cari hotel or hostel yang ok. Dari pengalaman saya, review from this hotel has helped me alot.

Another website yang could help you with finding a suitable hotel/hostel is Trip Advisor. Cuma Trip Advisor ni lack satu benda je. Harga. Sebab tu saya prefer Hostelworld. Semua pun ada.

By the way, nak booking hotel pun ada tips juga, tahu? Let me list down it for you.

1. Surf the net and cari hotel yang paling sesuai sampai puas hati. Jangan lupa dengan all the small details, macam ada free breakfast? wifi? attached bathroom? dekat dengan public transport?

2. I used Hostelworld untuk cari hotel. And then search for the hotel's website. Tengok and view the hotel from the Owner's point of view and compare dengan third party point of view and customers. Ini penting untuk get to know the place yang bakal awak duduk di perantauan ok?

3. Stalk selagi boleh hotel tersebut. Google 'em. Baca review. Buat comparison.

4. Hotel with no pictures are always suspicious. So does hotel yang uses the same pictures since 10 years ago. Or the one yang latest review nya was 3 to 2 years ago. Next hotel pls!

5. Do you know all the third party website macam Agoda ke, Booking.com ke, even Hostelworld sebenarnya does not offer cheaper price? I dunno about the hotel here in Malaysia lah. But if you wanna cheaper price for hotels in Japan, please book straight away with the hotel. Jangan guna third party. Sebab the management can offer you much more discount. Lagi2 if staying for more than a week.

6. Remember masa booking tu to tell the hotel your ETA. And also, apa awak nak. Dekat Japan, their customer service are the most efficient yang saya pernah nampak. They will most probably tunai kan apa je yang awak mintak. Cuma jangan over the river sangat ok?

7. In Japan, hotel murah adalah hotel yang tiada attached bathroom. Bathroom dan toilet are mostly sharing basis. Tapi bukan lah yang macam style onsen ok. Itu dalam tv. In real life ada je private shower room. 

8. Saya recommend duduk dekat Aizuya Inn atau Hotel New Azuma. Okbye.

 LOL


Dah 3 kali pergi Jepun. First time duduk dekat Aizuya Inn. Second time dekat Hotel New Azuma. I love both places. Cuma ohmaigod sikit bila nak kena panjat tangga sebab there are no lift.

Aizuya Inn are more international. Sebab mostly yang stay situ tourist and foreigners. So the place pun nampak sangat modern. Also senang nak communicate dengan jiran sebelah bilik or katil sebab semua pandai cakap English.

Dekat sini ada single room, double room, triple room and also room for four. Room for four ni is the only room yang you boleh sewa katil je. Macam style dorm room lah. Toilets are on the first floor sampai the third floor. But cuma yang dekat first floor je yang ada bidet. Yang lain you wipe guna tissue ok? Hahaha! Shower room only ada dekat first floor. All rooms are with tv accept yang room for four. Nak tengok tv kena turun lepak dekat lounge area.

Aizuya Inn also ada kitchen free for you to use. Ada juga free flow drinks dekat lounge area. But washing machine, dryer and also shower kene bayar. Yup. Nak mandi kene masuk ¥100 untuk on kan shower. LOL! Also, kebersihan dekat this place is a little bit tak best. Sebab yang tinggal sini mostly foreigners kan, so cara diorang semua lain2. This is the one thing yang turn off pasal staying here. But overall, saya suka tempat ni.

Hotel New Azuma pulak rarely ada foreigners. Mostly yang stay situ are Japanese yang datang Tokyo untuk kerja out station. So you don't speak English so much. Cuma cakap bila ada Ojiisan tiba2 excited nak belajar bercakap in English with you and also Obaachan yang kerja dekat reception. She is a very nice lady. Would help you in anyway she can.

In here, hotel room semua jenis single room. Means per person per room. Dalam bilik ada futon, aircond, heater and TV. So you got the room all by yourself. At every floor ada toilet. No bidet here tho'. Shower room and bathroom ade on the first floor.

What's best about this hotel is that it's clean. Kitchen clean, toilet clean, washroom, semua lah! For me, staying here sangat comfortable. I feel mostly like home here.

 

Oh how I miss this place.

Insyallah if berpeluang pergi lagi, I wanna go back. Nak jumpa Obaachan yang baik hati. Nak duduk lepak dekat lounge dengan random Ojiichan and teach them English. LOL!

Aaaaahh...rindunyaaaaa!

Ok. Habis. Next time sambung lagi.

Merry Christmas. :)

*throwback post*

Happy Merry Christmas everyone!

I love Christmas. Christmas holiday is my favorite of all. Why? Sebab boleh berangan tunggu Santa Claus with his sleigh datang bawak present on Christmas eve.

Since I was a kid, my parents sikit pun tak pernah ajar hating christmas. They taught us to be respectful of others punya celebration. Tak kira agama. My parents tak pernah halang when we siblings nak tengok cerita pasal Santa or wanna present for Christmas. 

Don't get me wrong. Kitorang tak celebrate Christmas. Cuma enjoying the fun as well. 

Do you know since we were kids, kitorang hang socks every Christmas's Eve just for the fun sake of it? Dulu masa duduk rumah lama, takde fireplace. So we hang dekat a plastic tree nearby the entrance. Since 10 years ago baru hang dekat fireplace. Gila berangan ok!

Abah would always isi our socks with coins. 

Dulu with seringgit. Now fifty cents sebab seringgit coin dah takde.

Haha!

This year, dah tak boleh nak continue our Christmas tradition. Why? Sebab Abah dah migrate duduk Jeddah. So I don't have my Santa anymore. Plus, siblings tak balik. So I'm alone in the house. 

Sobs

I love Christmas. It made me feel like a kid again. 

Nanti bila saya dah ada anak sendiri, saya nak continue this tradition. 

Sebab this what makes us family special. This is how we bond. 

Suka hati lah kamu nak kata tak baik, tak elok, berdosa, whatever. Nak start with syarahan with menyerupai sesuatu kaum itu adalah salah? Go ahead. Because truth is, you don't even understand apa maksud tersirat dengan ayat itu sendiri. So pls. Just don't do it here.

Christmas to me is always gonna be magical.

So pls, don't ruin this one thing for me.

Pls.

Merry Christmas everyone.

:)

Hari Waghih Haji Maulud 2013

 

Itu...dalam gambar tu. 

Itu semua family saya.

Tapi itu...dalam gambar tu.

Baru suku je. Attendance tak complete. 

Sebab Abah saya pun dekat Jeddah. Some aunts, uncles and cousins pun can't make it. Sebab out of town. 

So cuba imagine if our whole family datang. Tak muat camera kot. 

LOL

By the way, itu gambar Sabtu lepas. Our family organize this huge family gathering. Sebab believe it or not, our family ni is too big sampai saya ni dah berpangkat nenek ok? Homagah! Oh tidak!

But yes.

My niece dah ada anak sorang. 

Oh goodness!

Plus, this family gathering sebenarnya bertujuan untuk eratkan lagi our family bonding. Sebab to tell you the truth, my late grand dad has two wives. Thus, the huge family. Dan saya ni pulak dari sebelah second wife. My cousins yang sebelah Wan Awa (first wife) semua dah tua2. Sama generation dengan my dad. So anak2 diorang mostly my age. Itu la sebab saya ada cucu sedara sorang. 

Lulz.

Tapi sebenarnya family gathering ni nak biar kami kenal antara satu sama lain. Sebab family besar sangat. There's few of my cousins yang I barely met. Ada yang tak pernah jumpa langsung. My nieces, nephews? Lagi lah. I don't even know diorang tu anak siapa.

Dahsyat tak?

But apa apa pun, saya tabik spring dengan Pak Teh Halim saya, Bapak Majoe, Abang Khir and all other aunties, uncles and cousins yang together organize this event.You guys own my respect. 

What got me amazed was the book. 

Ada buku ok. Pasal arwah Atuk Maulud. Ada buku!

Gila gempak!

Buku siap ada size ok? Dah boleh jual masuk pasaran dekat MPH dah. LOL

And then dengan pameran mini dekat belakang tu fills with info pasal arwah atuk. He was a very handsome man. And all his cerita glory buat saya macam nak travel naik time machine and watch his life with my bare eyes. 

Saya tak pernah jumpa atuk saya. He pass away a year before I was born. So memang tak sempat nak jumpa. But nasib baik saya ada Abah yang rajin bercerita pasal arwah atuk. Jadi tak terasa pun hidup kurang satu atuk. Like, he still lives among us, through the stories.

Sebab tu I was more than exited with the book. Now I can read it all and pass je to my future kids nanti. So boleh bangga sikit yang saya ni cucu Mejar Maulud ok. 

But overall, I had so much fun last Saturday. Sumpah I never had that so much fun with that huge family members in years. Bila lagi nak berkumpul ramai2 gini? We should do this more often. My cousins are like my brothers and sisters. Sejujurnya having fun with them are even satisfying than hanging out with friends. I don't know how to explain. Tapi kalau we got together, most of us mesti terlupa sekejap yang masing2 dah tua bangka. Automatically akan berperangai macam budak budak balik. And that what makes it fun. 

Sebab tu I am looking forward to the next family gathering. And I really hope next time, Abah balik sini and join. Hoping that all attendance akan full next time. Lagi ramai, lagi best. 

I am proud to be apart of our Maulud family.

:)

Happy Birthday Aiba Masaki!

Saya Tourist Sejati Kota Tokyo Pt.1

*throwback post*

Berapa kali dah pergi Jepun? 

Masuk last year dah 3 kali. 

3 kali ok.

Sampai my parents and friends pun dah bising. Semua tanya tak bosan ke pergi tempat yang sama every year? And I was like, "No. Saya kan balik kampung." 

Lulz.

Hari ni sebenarnya nak cerita pasal ketidak puasan hati bila kadang2 tu terdengar desas desus orang berkata kata bahawasanya bercuti ke Jepun tu mahal gila. Like you'll go bankrupt. 

Oh..bodoh nye.

Buat yang pertama kali pergi, haruslah rasa Jepun tu mahal. Lagi2 kalau pergi dengan package or group tour. I'll list down few reasons what may cause you to think that traveling to Japan are expensive.

1. Tempat baru kan? You barely know the place. Mana nak beli barang murah. Mana nak cari kedai makan murah. So apa je yang nampak depan mata, yang edible, yang 'boleh lah'...grab aje. Kan? In the end, baru terasa yang you paid something at unnecessary price.

2. Kalau follow group tour, ketahuilah bahawasanya tempat2 yang mereka bawa tu tiada yang low budget ok. Tourist attraction kan? Anywhere in the world, kalau dah nama pun tourist attraction, there's no way in hell they will sell souvenirs or whatever at a very cheap price.

3. Halal restaurant. Again, ini pun tempat tourist menepek. Food are usually aren't local food. Bukan japanese food. Most of the time, it's Indian food or Malaysian cuisine or Indonesian. So ingredients semua imported, in the end harga pun mahal. Same goes la kalau kita dekat Malaysia ni, kalau nak makan Japanese food or Korean food, boleh ke dapat harga makanan macam Restoran Pantai Timur Kak Ani, gittew.

4. Everytime nak beli barang, sibuk nak check currency. Ini, seriously? Defuq man? Obviously their currency lagi higher than us kan? Dah kenapa sibuk nak convert2? Tak nak beli jangan beli. As simple as that. Just keep in mind that everything below 1000¥ is considered cheap. Ok?

5. Jangan sibuk compare barang dekat Malaysia dengan barang yang dijual dekat Jepun. In Malaysia, local stuff memang murah. Sebab tenaga buruh kita majority orang2 PATI. Dekat Jepun tiada PATI. So cost pengeluaran tak sama. Sama lah kalau situasi dekat Malaysia kalau jual barang sendiri. Ko hengat pengeluar kek lapis sarawak tu orang PATI ke? Tak. Masak sendiri kat umah. Tapi nak kira kos aku-penat-masak-dah-lah-guna-oven-pakai-letrik-rumah-sendiri. Sebab tu kek lapis yang tak semenggah rasa dia tu pun harga dia mahal. Faham? (btw, brg2 dekat Jepun semua berkualiti ok. Saya berani jamin!)

Cukup lima sebab? 

Faham dah kenapa selalu dengar "Jepun mahal, Jepun mahal"? 

Saya ni dah pergi Jepun 3 kali. Kalau mahal sangat, saya tak kosser la nak repeat trip every year. Sebab saya rasa it's affordable. Sebab tu every year pun buat trip pergi Jepun. 

Mahal? It's affordable lah! Nanti I will share you the tips and trick.


Soalan lazim yang selalu saya terima was, "How much it cost for your trip?" 

"Tiket kapal terbang pergi-balik mahal tak?"

"Duduk mana weh?"

"Nak makan macam mana?"

"Kat sana naik taxi? Jalan kaki? Train? Bus?"

"Toilet dia takde paip kan?"

Yes. These are the few questions that was asked to me gazillion times. Sampai kadang2 tu nak kasi penyepak je sebab semua tu boleh je gugel. Wasting my air liur sungguh tau tak?

To those yang tak tau, I always planned a year ahead for my Tokyo Trip. By planning, I mean, bila nak check for ticket, bila nak beli ticket, bila nak book hotel, where to stay, how to go there, what to do, what to expect and everything else.

Yes.

I plan.

To that extend.

Sebab tu I never felt awkward pun there in Tokyo masa I got there for the very first time. Walaupun terpanik seketika and tersesat pada hari pertama sebab terleka. LOL! You can read all about my first day dekat Japan here.

Do you know that I spend a whole two months in google earth nearly every day to study the roads and streets in Tokyo? LOL

Ok. That, I'll tell you in the next post. Panjang sangat dah entri ni. Later I sambung lagi okeng?

See ya!

How do I spend my Sunday?

I would most probably just sleep all day. 

Or watch TV.

Or tweeting random stuff all day.

Or just sleep. Yeah..sleep.

Because Sunday is my day.

Hari saya untuk tidur dan bermalas malasan sepanjang hari.

Sebab previous day dah bertungkus lumus bekerja dan leisure di luar.

Jadi hari Ahad adalah hari untuk tidur.

Ya...tidur.

ZZzzzz.....

How I watch my favorite TV series.

That picture above, explains how I watch my favorite tv series. On my bed, through my laptop. 

Inspired to write this post lepas terbaca Bestie's new blog post. Sibuk sangat dengan aktiviti mendownload all the TV series she missed. 

Basically we both watch the same kind of genre. Cuma saya lebih kurang cerita yang ada genre teen or adult romance macam Vampire Diaries or Gossip Girls. I'm more into Supernatural or The Walking Dead. Cuma lately ni ter-hook up with Beauty & The Beast.

Lulz.

Anyway, this whole watching through laptop started few years ago during Smallville season. Tapi masa tu I did not do the downloading work. My older brother did. Dia burned kan dekat cd and then I just watched it.

And then Smallville gets boring. I returned home from college. I got bored. And then I heard about Heroes. So I downloaded it because of the sake of it is sooooo X-men-ish and Milo Ventimiglia. Sebab dulu kan peminat series Gilmore Girls. Oh my childhood~

And then came Desperate Housewives. Macam mana boleh terjebak dengan this series, I don't even know. But man Jesse Metcalfe is hawt!

Tapi I didn't watch Desperate Housewives until the very final episodes. Because entah apsal, I got bored watching it through the end. Macam dah takde kick. And then I switch to downloading Supernatural. Sebab time tu tengok live dekat TV is no longer relevant.

Why?

1. Lembab! Dekat America dah season 5, dekat sini baru nak show season 3. Gila!

2. Banyak la dia nak censored.

3. The stupid subtitles are such a distraction.

4. I don't need TV ads to kacau my leisure time!

5. I always missed an episode.

So yeah. Since then on, I'm like dedicated my life to download every TV series that I'm interested in. 

Dulu direct downloader takde yang best. So I use torrent. Bittorrent has been my favorite since forever. Dulu masa zaman baru nak jadi leecher, cari link torrent dekat random torrent searcher. Macam piratebay lah, kickass torrent lah, extra torrent lah. 

But now, I stick to only one. EZTV torrent je. This is the only website yang provide me with complete episodes of every series that I need. 

Sampai sekarang I uses this website to keep me updated. 

Now, the TV series yang keep me alive are obviously Supernatural, The Walking Dead, Glee, American Horror Story, Beauty & The Beast and How I Met Your Mother. 

Yup. 

That's it. 

I don't wanna get too hook up on too many TV Series like I used too. Nanti bila semua went on a break, I will go nuts. Like what would I do with my life???

LOL

No.

Seriously.

These tv series memang buat saya jadi macam tu.

They are my drugs. 

Hahaha

Okbye.

Tulis Hari Hari.

Hi.

Hari ni pun ada post baru.

Sebenarnya memang dah pasang niat nak tulis at least satu post every day.

Kata nak active blogging balik kan?

So haruslah update hari hari, tak gittew?

Kalau tak update blog hari hari, macam mana nak tarik traffic?

Macam mana nak attract readers?

Sebab saya tau, bukan semua readers ni rajin leave a comment. Sebab yang paling ramai dekat blog walking ni majority nya silent reader. 

I know.

Because I am one. 

Plus I am the type who always check the date of their last updated entry. 

Kalau entry latest was a few days ago, I will most probably gonna stalk the whole blog. 

Lepas tu tengok the blog dah hidup menapak dekat blogger ni since when. If before the year 2009, selalunya I will respect the blogger more. Sebab they never given up on blogging. 

 Lagi2 if the blog looks so simple. Guna template blogger yang lama. Or skin from pyzam. LOL! Gila kental weh hidup.

I mean, blogging these days dah tak boleh bergantung sepenuhnya guna default blogger template. Sebab at least you need your own identity to represent the blog.

Macam my blog actually still using original blogger's template. Yang cuma ditokok tambah sebarang dua je. Macam header, background, web address logo, animation dekat title post. Semua itu ditambah sebab nak label this blog macam tuan punya.

Honestly I did not learn setup blog sebegini rupa in one day ok.

I search for tutorial. I setup a test blog. Godek sana, godek sini. Paste this and that. Learn how to read html code. Slowly I get the hang of it. 

 Sejujurnya I never find my blog template and design satisfying. Ade je lah yang tak kena dengan mata. Ada je yang belum cukup. 

Saya sebenarnya cukup jealous kalau blog walking lalu terjumpa blog2 yang designnya cantik. Like how did you do that? 

Ada yang design sempoi gila tapi if fills with the blogger identity. Best je rasa nak scroll baca sampai khatam satu blog. 

But ada juga jenis yang semak. Jenis widgets bersepah. Siap ade auto play song defuq. Dengan gambar sebesar besar alam terkeluar dari border post. Lepas tu auto open new tab setiap kali click on a link. Itu dasar blogger mintak kaki namanya. 

I'm not telling that you can't build your blog according to your liking. Cuma, don't over do it. Sebab silap hari bulan boleh buat orang benci to step in your blog again. 

Memang kadang2, itu cara untuk naikkan rating and traffic blog. Tapi agak la sikit sebab cara tu boleh buat readers annoyed. 

Saya tahu. Sebab saya pun salah seorang readers yang lagi sikit nak smash my laptop screen every time I came across that kind of blog. Bloody annoying ok.

 Setiap hari saya akan berdoa supaya saya tidak berubah menjadi seperti blogger2 tersebut. Akan saya kekalkan sifat malas dan annoyed saya untuk tidak menokok tambah widget merepek di dalam blog saya. 

Hahaha

But that doesn't mean that I won't change my template every now and then. Berapa kali dah since start blogging saya duk tukar template? Ikut mood most of the time. Lepas tu kononnya setiap kali buat comeback, setiap kali itu juga nak tukar template.

Sebab tu in a matter of time, blog ni tak lama lagi akan berubah wajah jugak. 

Jadi apa?

I oso dunno.

Kita tunggu.

At the mean time, akan saya sajikan anda dengan tulisan2 yang sebegini. 

Boleh?

Baca ke?

Wordless Wednesday #5

Don Quijote ドン・キホーテ

Saya suka Akihabara.

Ini kalau dekat Jepun, tempat yang kalau pergi 3 or 4 kali dalam satu trip pun tak apa. 

No. I am not an anime otaku. I just love Akiba.

Kenapa saya suka Akiba?

Well, for starters sebab dekat Akiba ada Don Quijote or DonQi (ドンキ）.

 Don Quijote ni is a tax free mall. It has everything. And by everything, I mean EVERYTHING. From household item to electronic to games and toys to costume play stuff to adult toys. LOL! They have everything ok.

I went to this store mainly sebab nak shopping souvenirs untuk family and friends. Sebab honestly, from what I observed harga dekat DonQi is way cheaper than any where else in Tokyo. Especially perfume. Oh how I love those perfume yang being sold there. Also power bank dekat situ have a lot of variety. Plus, cheaper than other places too.

I remember the last time I was there. I spend quite a lot. Around 20,000¥ jugak lah. Gila oi! But itu masa last few days dekat Tokyo. So memang nak spend gila2 sebab nak habis kan duit. Dah spend gitu pun duit tak habis habis. ;p

But lemme give you some tips kalau shopping here at DonQi;

1. Do window shop at every floor before making any purchase. Survey dulu. Masuk every celah. Sebab you may find the exact stuff you want, but different brand, much more interesting color and design and much cheaper price.

2. Do have a look at all the stuff they had display behind the glass window. Sebab there where they  keep semua barang2 yang berkualiti. And if you're lucky, you'll find yang very cheap. Like what happened to me last year. 10,000mAH powerbank at only 2,890¥ ( RM 90.00+)!!
 

3. The staff speaks very limited English. But most places and items ada English guide. So not to worry.
 

4. ピンクsection is situated on the 2nd floor sebelah cash register next to the electronic section. ;p
 

5. If you run out of 1¥, not to worry. The cash register has this one bucket full with 1¥ for you to use.
 

6. Don't afraid to ask question. Even if the staff didn't speak English so much, they will definitely help you in anyway they can. 

 

Dekat DonQi cawangan Akihabara ni sebenarnya port untuk fans or WOTA AKB48 melepak. Sebab on the top floor ada macam theater hall untuk AKB buat show. Kalau tak silap they had show nearly 6 days a week. 

On the 4th floor pulak ada Maid Cafe. I went to DonQi for numerous time already but never had the guts to enter the Maid Cafe.Bukan takut. Cuma my Japanese is very limited. So..I don't want to embarrassed myself.

Anyway, meh nak share with you guys all my top list item to buy when visits DonQi.

1. Powerbank. This is a must. Sebab they have a lot of variations and plus it's cheaper than other places in tokyo. Even cheaper dari yang ada dekat Yodobashi Camera.

2. Phone Accessories. Dari phone cover to ear phones to dingling or whatever you call it and even travel phone charger. They have it all. Plus with cute design lagi. 

3. Kit Kat. They have some weird variations of Kit Kat. But not so much lah. Cuma yang fofular flavor je yang dijual. 

4. Perfume. This I tell you, is a MUST BUY. Bayangkan Victoria Secrets parfume dekat situ cuma RM 12 hengget je. Ko taknak?? Memang lah borong hoii! 

Ok. Basically itu je barang-barang yang saya beli dekat DonQi. Sebab honestly saya ni bukan kaki shopping. I just shop when I think it's necessary. ;p

But selain dari barang-barang that were listed above, ada je lagi barang lain. Macam make up, designers handbags, jewellery, camera, nintendo yang lama tu pun ada jual tau. Vacumm cleaner pun ada, periuk nasi, takoyaki pan, shoes, even lingerie! 

So if you ever went to Japan, jangan lupa to pay for a visit at DonQi. Yang saya duk cerita ni, cawangan dekat Akiba. Dekat tempat yang lain2 saya tak tau keadaan dia macam mana tau. So kalau lain, jangan marah saya. Saya awal2 dah bagitau ni. 

Oh! By the way, if you don't know the directions to DonQi, just ask around. Japanese people are very nice, they will definitely help you. And tanye je like this, "ドンキ, どこ？" ( Donki, doko? ), diorang for sure dah tau dah si foreigner ni nak shopping kat DonQi. LOL!

Okbye.

I am such a noob..

Yes. 

Exactly what I am.

Padahal blog ni dah wujud since 2008 kot. 

Tapi tak reti nak menggunakan Google Ad Sense or Nuffnang Ad. 

Sampailah baru perasan yang this blog has reached it's 13k pageviews. Baru terasa macam rugi sangat tak include any ads on this blog. Like, what the hell have I've been doing? 

Jadi sebab sekarang ni mahu active berblog balik, because spamming on twitter is no longer relevant to me, I decided to put a good use of my Nuffnang's account. Yup. Dah berzaman sign up but never post any of their ads. Bodoh kan? LOL

So there you have it. My blog has ads now. 

Tak banyak pun. Three section sahaja. 

Plus, this blog bukan big known blog like out there pun. And I don't depends on it to make a living. But if the income nanti boleh tolong saya tampung perbelanjaan ke Jepun setiap tahun, apa salahnya kan? ;p

And to those yang tak tahu apa itu Nuffnang ads or Google Ad sense, ya'll can just google up for more infos. But if you ask me, I recommend Nuffnang for newbies like us. Sebab nak sign up senang. Nak setup account pun senang. Nak upload the ads pun diorang siap bagi tutorial.

Plus, if dapat income..I heard that nak cash out and received the cheques are convenient than most other online ads. 

How to get these income you asked?

Well, sebenarnya tak senang. But tak susah as well. Cuma perlu rajin update blog and follow Nuffnang punya activity untuk blogger macam kita ni peroleh more traffic. 

But the thing is these days, is blogging is still relevant? Do people still reads? If it was few years back, maybe. Sebab dulu I did have some quite loyal followers. Until I kinda quit blogging for twitter. Now? I don't see them anymore.

Hmmm...

So apa sekarang? Tulis blog dan letak ads tu sia sia dah ke? 

Oh fudge!

What is LOVE?

Itu, betul. Like, I dunno why. I am just attracted to him. Whatever he does, whatever he do, I'm just going to find him incredibly attractive. 

I can believe that I am gonna post something like this after all this years. I mean, all this while I was like, "Eleh, orang yang bercinta ni memang poyo lebih" or like "I don't understands couples who needs to be with each other 247 or calls 247 or keep on messaging each other all the time. Geez. Just chill out" 

Yeah. LOL

Now that I'm IN IT. I can now jilat balik ludah sendiri. 

Back then I was so independent. That I thought that I don't need my other half. Plus I never been in love. Never had a boyfriend. Never been in a relationship. So I don't know how it's like to actually being in love. 

I'd always thought that love is something adult-ぽい. Macam you don't need to talk on the phone all the time or see each other every day, masing2 will understand each other well and both will have own space and they will talk wisely to each other and settle things without any drama. 

Oh how I was soooooo wrong!

There will be drama. You will wanna be with each other 247. Whether you like it or not. These thing, will happen.

And trust me, being in a committed relationship is not easy. No matter how you see it, it's not easy. You won't know how hard it is until you're in it. Kadang2 masalah bukan datang dari diri sendiri or your other half. Kadang2 from current situation, kadang2 from some people yang takde kene mengena. 

How you handle it tu nanti yang will make you see whether your relationship is real or not.

Orang cakap kalau dah cinta, lautan api sanggup direnangi.

For those yang belum pernah rasa bercinta, all this might seem macam so lame.

Exactly what I thought before. Tapi bila dah bercinta ni, benda tu semua datang sendiri. I can't escape even how much I tried. Ada je lah drama. Semak!

But then again, saya tak kisah pun kalau ada drama macam gini. Saya tak kisah pun kalau nak kena berenang dalam lautan api. Saya tak kisah. Because it's worth it.

He's worth it. :)

yea yea yea..laugh all you want. I know...I'm so lame. wtv.
