Pastel Fantasies



Yeah I actually rotated the first image. It was upside-down lol but I rotated it as it looks nicer in that way. Anyway, the moon was beautiful tonight. Too bad I missed the bloody moon as haze was covering the moon. Must put "seeing full eclipse" in my to-do list!

Spent 4 days (from 29th of July till 1st of August) in Bangkok, Thailand. Despite being stuck in traffic jam most of the time, I learned that typically, Siamese is much better compared to Malaysians in several aspects. Even if they're caught in traffic jam, they hardly honked. In fact, they would give way to any vehicles that went out from any junctions without honking or trying to stop them from going out of it. I actually felt guilty as well, as I've always try to not give ways to other cars which were about to go out from a junction and be like, "I need to go there first." Childish, I know. But that's what most Malaysians are like. Childish, impatient. We kept on saying bad things about Siamese, calling them rude and all, but I remembered a saying that goes, "You point a finger and say bad things to other people, but the remaining 4 fingers were pointing to yourself," which could be translated as, you can say bad things to other people, but you'll be 4 times worse than the people you trash-talked to. Anyway, this is the beauty of travelling. You get to observe what kind of people they are, how they grow, how they live. I'd love to spend my life being a solo traveler, but sad thing I'm out of cash to do so. I really hope there'll be good people with so much money that they don't know how to spend them anymore to spend 1/10 of it to me so I can travel and learn more of foreign cultures... #pleasecometrue Anyway, here's some pictures which were taken when I was in Bangkok! Not gonna post all of them because I'm a lazy bum.

Assalamualaikum,

We planned to go to Lotte World and was supposed to go out around 8AM or 9AM but since we were all tired and worn off, we went out a bit late and took the subway to Lotte World. The ride from Ewha Women's University station to Jamsil took about 35 minutes and so all of us almost dozed off in that sort of long ride.

We bought the ticket using the ticketing machine and a friendly ahjussi helped us navigating the machine even though we chose the English option. It was confusing at first but you'll get the hang of it in time. We purchased the day ticket, worth 44,000 won.

The ticket. So cute.
The Adventure side, which is located indoor
Another view. It was spacious and I was lazy to take pictures
Magic Island, a.k.a the outdoor attractions located here.
Sadly, we only managed to ride few attractions as Lotte World was packed with people, couples, family... Did we come to Korea at the wrong time? :( We went to Korean Folk Museum as we thought it'd be a waste to line up for the rides, which, well, it'd be better we actually lined up for them. Oh well.

Notice the typo they had on the sign? Yeah. "Fork" Museum hahahaha


Before we decided to leave, we stopped at Lotteria and had our late lunch there. I ordered squid burger (오징어버거) while Fatihah and Imanina both ordered prawn burger (새우버거). The cashier warned me that my burger is spicy and I said it's okay, since I really love spicy foods haha. It was really delicious compared to the plain prawn burger. Well, at least mine got this hot sensation going on hehe.

I actually miss this burger :(
We then decided to walk around in Apgujeong and Cheongdamdong and so, it's time to search for the Kpop companies' buildings! The first building we searched for was SM Entertainment. Sadly, the directions given on blogs we found were not even close to the building we're trying to find. And we actually walked for I don't know how many kilometres but we sure walked a lot to find the building. We also met new friends from Indonesia who were trying to find the buildings as well. We succeeded to find the SM Global Artist Training Centre (noticeable with huge poster of SM artists that promoted at the time being) which is located next to Galleria Department Store. We found that but not the actual SM Entertainment building, and so, we continued to walk towards Galleria. And guess what happened?

I saw EXO's Tao, right in front of my eyes! At first I was like "Gosh, that is Tao, right?" and Imanina was like "Yeah that is him!" I was freaked out and we were nearing him, I took this opportunity to ask "타오씨 맞죠?" (You're Tao, right?) and he answered with a simple "Yes" and walked away. Then I felt like it's such a waste to not take pictures with him so I ran back (we were heading to opposite directions) and asked, "우린 같이 사진 찍으면 될까요?" (Can we take pictures together?) He was alone with no managers at the time, and I was hoping that he would agree to take pictures but maybe he's following his company's rule, he said "사진 찍는거 안돼요" (You can't take pictures) so I nodded and he continued walking. I thought of taking his pictures secretly but thinking it'd spread quickly and maybe people will follow him, I decided to let it slip. Pity idols who wanted to rest, let them have their time :)

The road where I bumped into Tao by accident.
We almost gave up since we saw nothing like the entertainment companies' buildings in our sight so one of our Indonesian friend turned around and took the road Tao took before. She said this is the right road to go to SM Entertainment so we followed the road all the way till its end. It was a hill, but luckily we're going down the hill most of the times. You will see a park at the end of the road, and all we need to do is to turn right. There were misdirection occurred and we met FNC Entertainment's building first. We noticed it since there were many people gathered at a place.

FNC Entertainment building. I like its architecture the best
After multiple times of trying to connect to Wifi (sadly, there's no such thing as free wifi available throughout the country hahaha I bought KT Prepaid Card for OllehWifi, costs 9,900 won for 4 days) we managed to find a way to go to SM Entertainment from FNC. We were lost again, but then, after multiple times going back and forth at the same street, we found it. We found the gem. The company that made us walked from 5.25pm till 6.05pm. The SM Building located right after Yonsei Villa apartment's building. We saw 2 girls went out and entered the "idol van" and the way they covered themselves seemed like they already debuted. Can't say from which group but guessing from body size, I think they'd be from SNSD. We also saw EXO's Baekhyun, Lay, and Chen in the transparent elevator going up and down the building. 

Few members of SM Rookies just walked out that door by the time I took this picture
Direction to SM Entertainment building: Take the subway to Apgujeong Rodeo Street Station (Bundang Line) and go to exit 2. It is wayyyyy closer than stopping at Apgujeong Station. Trust me, I've experienced the pain of walking in Korea. Walk straight till you see the SM Global Artist Training Centre (easy to notice because of extra huge banner of SM artists) and turn left. You'll see a hill and you need to hike up a bit before you go down the hill. On your left side should be a school, your right side too. Just go down the road and you will find a park opposite the street. Turn right and follow the road. Walk straight till you notice 연세빌라 written on a building on your right. If you see it, just continue walking straight and you will find SM Entertainment building on your right

Your feet will hurt, trust me, but this is the easiest way that we found
We then proceed to JYP Entertainment but we found Cube Entertainment first, so time to stop at Cube Cafe and Studio for a break.

We saw this from afar and new we're at the right path. That is CUBE logo btw
The coffee tastes nice and it feels weird to see Rain in Cube Entertainment...
The building up close. I have no idea how to take pictures of this building so yeah
We decided to not waste time by only taking pictures of the buildings and went back to hostel. We wasted lots of time at SM Entertainment, particularly because there were idols going in and out of the building. We continued walking to JYP Entertainment since it is located diagonally opposite to Cube Entertainment. Easy to notice too because of the sign and all.

Only here to take pictures and we off to search for subway entrance haha
And this is where we wasted our time walking to search for nearest subway entrance. We walked so much and I was really tired of walking but since it was cold, better for us to be in any subway station rather than being outside for a long time. We found it, luckily and so, off to Hapjeong we go. Time to visit the last entertainment building, which is, YG Entertainment.

Direction to YG Entertainment: Take subway to Hapjeong Station (line 2), exit 8. You will see SK Petrol Pump upon exiting, continue walking till the end of the street where you see a junction. On your right supposedly situated another SK Petrol Pump and Namkyung Hotel (they were under construction when we were there) and you should see an island of shops in front of you (called it an island because it's isolated lol). Turn right and continue walking. Take note on small alley on your left side and find "Prouod" sign. You shall see YG Building if you noticed the sign. Cross the road and walk towards the sign.
It was dark, really. And so little people waiting outside the building.
We walked back to the subway station and head back to our hostel. Rest time. The highlight of the second day of my trip is, meeting/seeing idols hehe. Got to talk to Tao is so precious, I was a bit disappointed with myself since I promised to record my whole journey each day but didn't do so.

*see you on next update!

Assalamualaikum.

Finally, I'm back to the blogging world. Yayyyyy! I totally have no idea on what to blog lately. There are times where I came across some beautiful topics to touch on but then I wasn't on and I absolutely hate to jot down my points first before writing and poof, they're gone with the wind.

What a waste.

Only 2 weeks of holidays left before I'll leave for Perlis, again. Hopefully for the very last semester before I get to continue with my degree. Heard some areas in UiTM Perlis have been 'upgraded' (read it as sarcastic as you can) like there are 4 hills at gate B's entrance. Yeah. The cute and small bumps have been extremely upgraded to be hills. They are high and well, bad for cute cars like mine. Degree students were complaining about this upgrade and they hate it so I guess I'm hating it too hahahaha.

Plan to work during holiday was... unfortunately failed as the boss of the bookstore went indecisive whether it's best to hire me now or later. Overheard her conversation with the staff that she thought it'd be better if I can work for a longer period of time. 1 month is too short for everything. Yeah I wanted to work as long as I can too. I need a whole lot of money by 25 November. I made plans, and I want them to happen. I love making people happy, or at least, I think they'll be happy if I made a plan AND included them in it. And my plan involves travelling from a state to another. Travelling from a country to another country is on the next chapter btw. 

Wee, travelling. I just love travelling. Solo or group, doesn't matter. As long as I'm outside of my comfort zone. I can learn the culture, the language, the people, the structure, the weather, the scenery, and etc. If only I am as rich as my cousin who has his own circle of friends to travel overseas together. Flying to different countries twice (sometimes thrice) a year. So lucky to be sponsored by JPA hm hmm. At least there'll be less thing to worry about. All you need is to work your ass off and get the highest possible value of CGPA you can achieve and bamm, if you're lucky, the scholarship will be reverted to loan.

So damn lucky.

I thought of uploading certain pictures but I've been hesitating whether it's the best choice since, after meeting this wise man I've been questioning my choices for months. But yeah there are times where I don't use this brain of mine and screwed myself and get a nice lecture from him. Anyhow, I owe you a lot. As I said before, you taught me a new definition of life. Thank you so much. So after 10 minutes of typing and stomach's grumbling, I decided to upload this


Urgh uber yummy picture of cheap sushi from Tesco aahhhhhhh tummy stop! Behave yourselffff

Hello, peeps.

I am now in Jengka, doing a short semester program (intersession) to retake MAT233 (Calculus 2) which I failed before. Today is officially my fourth day in UiTM Pahang, though intersession just started yesterday. After 3 semesters being a non-resident back in Arau, I got to feel being a resident, again. I was placed at room A3-40, Block A (Aishah), Kolej Tun Teja.

Yes, I'd love to compare both campuses I've been to (UiTM Perlis and UiTM Pahang).

Plus points for UiTM Pahang from my point of view
  1. There are 10 colleges available for girls. T-E-N, 10! 8 were new and the other 2 (which one of them is where I am now) were the old college. 
  2. For academic blocks, well, since my class is held only at FTA2-16 in the Fast Track building (its 'scientific' name is Leucaena) is okay. Reminds me of UiTM Perlis' Star Complex but way smaller than it. They have this newly built academic building and its situated on top of a small hill - not that high but will be a tiring adventure for those going to class by foot.
  3. It is advisable for you to go to classes by foot since the short cuts are truly... short? You can see a major difference if you go by car and by foot. For me, I will usually go to morning class by foot and drive for evening class.
  4. Marrybrown is in town like hello they have 3 options for fast foods: KFC, PHD and MB! Beat that, Arau! (Ehem food is important for a fat girl like me ehehew)
Okay so I can't list all the plus points for now since I barely explore every inch of this campus. It is big though, like, why people would label UiTM Perlis as the second largest campus after UiTM Shah Alam when UiTM Jengka has more to explore. I admit that I was shocked at first, since, I never expect it would be this big.

*sigh* I googled "UiTM Jengka aerial view" to see how big it actually is but... yeah. Not available. And I still have no pictures of the scenery here, too busy with classes :P And I got full mark for first quiz ever! Oh yes I am proud with myself, yep. The last time I can actually get high scores in Calculus was back in 2012, when I learned MAT183 (Calculus 1).

Before I twist this entry to a different story, let's continue with the minus points for UiTM Pahang.
  1. The parking lot for students are placed next to the main gate. As far as I know and after being told by my roommates, no students are allowed to park at the academic blocks' parking lot. Which, if I must say, kind of useless for the students to bring their cars here. Luckily that the lot is situated just in front of my college, I have no complaint on that.
  2. NO HOT BOYS AROUND WHY WHY WHY WHY lol maybe the hot boys are happy with their sem break now, huh? All I see here is girls who act like guys. Pengkid? Tomboy? Classify them by yourself. I am nothing near to judge who they are. I tell you, the tomboys are so good looking though some of them look so Justin Bieber-ish hahahahaha cries
  3. The largest mart available is... UMART (click here to see how big it is from outside) which makes me miss C-MART at times. LOL
Again, since I spend most of my time at same places (either my room or class or the bandar), I can't criticize anything. True, there are things that Arau has which Jengka doesn't and vice versa, but it depends on your mindset.

I travel to Jengka because I want to focus on my study. Less entertainment available for me, higher chance of me getting focused in studying. It's proven during my first quiz yesterday since I spent the night with revision. I kid you not, I am surprised to see myself studying so hard as well. But since my target is to make up my CGPA by getting at least an A for this subject (hey, A+ is even better) I guess I am driven with my thoughts to succeed. I am worried if I need to repeat Algebra since, I am pretty sure I have to :/ Oh God. I am tired of worrying. Please, ease my heart and ease everything for me. 

That's all for today. Bye.

P/S: Confession - I miss the guys in Arau I miss the feel to be in Arau but studying is a form of jihad. I'm going against everyone's want and go with the road less taken, again.

Yeah you might want to highlight the words to read it.

Less than 5 days to reach the end of this semester. If I score this semester's finals and get good result, I will only have 1 semester left for diploma. Which means, soon, I will be parting ways with my diploma friends. I might, and might not see them again. I might and might not be in their minds all the time, but after experiencing lots of hardships in finding true friends, I began to treasure some of my diploma's course mates.

Some, not all.

Semester 1 - Seeing new faces for the first time ever. Heard that some of my primary school friends were in the same campus, but only 1 of them is in the same course as mine, which is Amnan. I wasn't close to him since before, so I rarely talk to him. This first semester of diploma; fresh and new chapter of my life begun. I made some friends during orientation week but those friends won't last long. Proven now, though, none of them thought of contacting me first. For the first semester, I was close to Farhana, well basically, with the girls (and boys) in my group. Zharfan, Luqmanul and Zhafri, not to mention the rest, were the closest one to me. Before.

Semester 2 - Kicked out from the resident list so I lived my life as a non-resident instead, and I became closer to Amalina since we lived in the same area. We were the total opposite of each other but like magnet that attracts other magnet with opposite magnetic field; we attract each other because of the difference in our characteristics. Hah, I was close to Nabihah too, since we're like the non-resident team-thingy hahaha. Old times. I became quite distant with others since they're in resident colleges while I... I was alone in the house with literally no housemates since they went out a lot.

Semester 3 - Where everything falls apart. This happened and that happened, suddenly I hate Nabihah while Amalina and I became strangers again, nearing the end of the semester. This was the worst semester, for the record. Bad things happened - I lost my motivation, I lost hope, I lost trust on people, but I gained a car to ease me travelling in Perlis (and Kedah and Penang...) I knew cool guys from other groups and began to hang out with them quite often too. I am not that close to them, but to just be friends with them, I feel so happy :)

Semester 4 - The level of awkwardness between groupmates increased and the distantce between us became larger as well. I moved to a new house and lived together with Aida. New adventure, again. We became the new inseparable twins(?) since most of the times, I'll be seen together with Aida and vice versa. We share so many things in common and it's freaky oh my god! Haha. This semester is a bit plain. All I feel is the gap between other friends and I became deeper and larger. At times, I feel like I'm better off a loner. Without partner.

Ah... Time passes by, cruelly nearing catching up with the time for us to part ways. Yes, I can't wait to graduate and to be away from Perlis because of all the terrible things happened but I couldn't just forget all good friends I met here, right? I just hope that I will always be in their minds, as how often they are in my mind.

Farhana, the cheeky, petite Malay, blessed with Chinese-look.
Aida, the one with brain that I'm jealous of.
Zuhairah, the one who looks the happiest while eating.
Luqmanul, the... the... the bro that loves to belanja people.
Azri, the one perasan artis but full of humorous jokes.
Amnan, the childhood friend who became nice to me :P
Fauzan, the budak I thought sombong but he's humorous and nice.
Syauqi, the one whom I put my full trust in driving my car.
Izwan, the only guy I respected among all - he has good sides despite looking so rempit-ish.

Okay malas nak sebut nama sorang sorang because honestly, I'm not that close to all people pun. It happens that some of the names are listed as they love to borrow my car so they act so baik to me but they are kind so I like them for their kindness hahaha but I will always remember your kindness, the way you treat me. Yay what's with this crappy entry, it's supposed to be emotional and sad and tear-worthy *cries* Tapi aku sayang korang tau, muehehe segan nk cakap okay bye

Gonna hop to convenience store to chill. Kinda. Bye :D
