Hello Pink October!

Hello October! Wow... we are 3 months away to end 2019 and welcoming 2020 in just a blink! This time around, I feel like I wanna talk about my career, people around me and life a bit. Sometimes, I always get this kind of instinct where I feel some people around me are just being fake. Being too good to all people might be too old school, huh? Really. I really don't get it why would this kind of people exist? My advice is, when you don't like a person, don't make it too obvious. Well, I am such a noob when it comes to understand people. When you are always left behind on certain things, you don't really need people to update you because you're not important, though. But sometimes, there are situations where letting other people know about something shows that you have a little bit of care. For example, there's group A and B and C. A is everyone included, B only includes certain people from A and C includes only a few from B. That's what's going...

Jakarta - Bandung Trip 2019 (Part 3)

Day 2 in Bandung 14th February 2019 Rancabali District Our first destination was Kawah Putih (the White Crater) which is located about 40 minutes drive away from the city centre of Bandung. The fee is Rp. 70k excluding the parking fee. Just prepare some extra cash guys. We spent about 1 1/2 hours there. The view of the crater was very beautiful. It was my very first time to see a crater, which is initially made from the volcano eruption. The next destination was Glamping Lakeside which is also known as Situ Patenggang. There's a history behind the name by the way. There's a stone which carved with its whole story. Basically the lake was where 2 lovers met for the first time and thought their love forever. The story is in the picture. Oh yeah, the fee is Rp. 25k. The lake is indeed very beautiful, serene and tranquil. I always thought that I would never have that kind of moment, travelling far away from home and see other people's culture. I was wrong. It all is up to ...

Rest in Peace Dear Grandma

A lot have happened recently. At some point, I just cannot think and deal with it anymore. I'm afraid I could not be able to bear it, but Allah will never test His servants with anything they cannot bear. A week before my grandmother passed away, I went back to my hometown with my brother and sister-in-law and nephew as I received a call from mother that she wasn't able to sit, eat and do things due to extreme fatigue. It had been a week since that happened but I was sticked to my plan that I wanted to go back to my hometown before Eid-ul-Adha. 20th July 2019 At 10-ish am, my brother arrived with my s-i-l and nephew. I asked him to drive my car as I really wanted my Dad to test drive it anyway. As usual, a journey on the road is always tiring. 6 hours drive and we managed to arrive home at 10 minutes to 7pm.  I just went straight away checking on my mom's condition and saw how weak she was. I couldn't tell everything here but that's what happened. I did...

Jakarta - Bandung Trip 2019 (Part 2)

Hi guys! Been a bit busy the past few days. Sorry for the delay. Huh!  I wish I could do many things at once. After all, this blog can wait though. Hence, the delay. So, in this post, I'm gonna share about my trip in Bandung right after Jakarta trip. Stay tuned. :) Okay to begin with, Bandung is awesome guys. So awesome! I love it! I really love it! Everything was planned by Ana. We went to visit so many places there. Most of them are tourist hotspots. I think it's better write about it according to the day we visited, right? Alright, here is our itineraries in Bandung for 4D3N. First of all, we had our chartered driver throughout our journey in Bandung. However we started on Day 2. 12 Feb 2019 (Wednesday) - Day 1 We arrived from Jakarta at around 12 noon after 3 hours trip on train. It was a smooth journey and peaceful. The view was really breathtaking along the sideways. We could see the hilly tea farm, greeny hills and cool weather. As we arrived in Bandung, ...

Jakarta - Bandung Trip 2019 (Part 1)

As mentioned in my previous post, I had my birthday treat by visiting a country, Indonesia. I had this trip done with my ex-housemates back at Grace Court some years ago when I first moved to Kota Kinabalu. Thank you Ana and Farah for having me on this trip. I will start by posting about Jakarta in this post and Bandung in the next post. So here's how we started our journey. 11th February 2019 (Monday) My flight to KL from KK was supposedly timed at 8.20 pm. However it was delayed for almost 1 hour and 30 minutes. My flight departed from KK around 10.00 pm and I only arrived at KLIA 2 at around 1.00 am. Ana and Farah had already waited for me at the airport. We planned to just stay overnight at the airport while waiting for our next flight to Jakarta in the morning. This was our very first meeting together after so many years. The last time I met Ana and Farah was in 2017. But it was just when both of them came to KK for a short trip and both came in a different time. B...

Birthday Treat

Referring back to my last post, it was in January 2019. Now it's June, June guys. June 2019. If you noticed in my last post, I wrote something about getting unwind for myself. Yeah, this post talks about it. I suddenly have time for this out of nowhere. It was in February where I had a vacation for myself with my ex-housemates Farah and Fahana. So we planned this vacation last year in May 2018. It was just an unplanned thought by Ana when she offered herself to buy the flight tickets for us first. I think if that way didn't happen, we might not be able to have our oversea trip together to date. So I wanna say thank you Ana for planning this trip. It was my first trip to oversea guys. My first ever trip. To add some more, using my own hard earned money! At first, I wasn't sure about going somewhere outside Malaysia cuz I thought I just never could. I mean, I'm just a plain person who works 9 to 5 for the sake of living. Guess where we went to? Those who fo...

Happy New Year and still single

Here I am, again. After such a long idle. Well, basically I have been very busy with my own stuff and things. Even during my ample time, I prefer to be getting lazy and wallowed. Here's the thing. The thing I wanna talk about which is my life, "being single". My life here in Kota Kinabalu is very simple. I live away from my family, initially my hometown, Sandakan. I do have friends here and most of them are married. Those who are still single do not really spend time mingle being single with me. They also have plans with their usual co-partner. Me? Always alone on weekends. Doing my own stuff and getting things like housechores done as planned. Sometimes not done at all. Well, sometimes my bro would call me to hangout with my nephew and s-i-l but it's not like every week. My other friends do not really always ask me out either. On certain occassions, yes they would. But I'm talking about the regular weekends. All I do is this and that. Watching Netflix lik...
