Assalamualaikum!

Hye. Hello. We meet again !  [lap debu habuk sawang kt blog].

this is all about my 2012 trip. Guess what trip?  
A trip to Seoul, South Korea!!!

FYI, entry akan ada part by part… so will update often saaaaampai la habis semua cerita yg nak diceritakan. So..bear with it. I just miss Seoul very much right now. [now listening to S.E.O.U.L song]

-random bahasakan diri. Saya, aku, I semua ada. And mix languages. BEWARE-

So….. mula-mulaaaa sekali, macam mana trip ni boleh terjadi? 

Ok..trip ni mcm dipersetujui secara tiba-tiba ye oleh ibu. Oh..i went there with my family.
 Last july 2011, ye..setaun yang lepas. ada offer from AA.. kl-incheon-kl is like MYR5++ per person. So that that time I just told ibu yg AA buat offer g korea. Tu je pn. Sbb before that, ibu ade ckp yg kalo ade offer gitau.. masa tu, ibu cakap the trip for both of us je. Sekali, ibu suruh ajak ayah sekali, supposed for 3 of us only.. but then, adik2 merajuk.. then tadaaa.. 6 person for july 2012 trip already booked. After flight tix already booked, cam buat bodo je lah. Yelah, one year lagi.. relax ah dulu.. tapi bila dah masuk may 2012, accommodation tak cari lagi, itinerary tak plan lagi.. aku kelam kabut. 
Yela, ibu ayah cakap, “k.long plan everything. Cari semua accommodation and all.” Then, memang may, june 2012 adalah bulan yang paling aku rajin search segala hotel yang ada kt Seoul. Tiap hari aku pelawat wajib dekat website KTO.

Few weeks before depart, we booked this one house yang owner dia Malaysian. At first, I don’t feel like I like it.. sebab the place dekat Gangnam-gu.. Gangnam is totally like.. JAUH la jugak dari tempat tourist attractions ni. Tapi redha je time tu and told myself, “takpe..maybe kat situ ada something yang menarik.” And guess? Memang ada. What? I’ll tell u later. maybe?=P

6th July 2012… 

d-day!! Jujur aku cakap.. I’m not sleeping at all that night. Ok la.. maybe a lil bit sleep.. but just tidur-tidur ayam camtu je. Then at 4am, I woke my parents up, we do last check-up on our luggage, then off to LCCT! 8.50am, the plane left LCCT.. so, “goodbye Malaysia, hello Korea!” .. that time.. I totally have this mix feelings.. scared, worried, excited, happy all in one. 6 hrs + after that.. 4.30pm sharp.. we landed. “hello Incheon!!”

Ok this one fact for a ‘jakun’ people like me… flight to Korea from KL, the announcement been made in 3 languages – Malay, English and Korean. Then flight from Korea to KL, the announcement been made in 2 languages.. eh ke still 3 languages? Not paying attention though. Lol. But Korean is a must. The flight attendants too! There will be few Koreans FA in flight and comel2~ lalala


Back to story.. so, 4.30pm we arrived..masa sampai tu, still mix feelings. Tapi bila berjalan ke immigresen..tengok signboard all in Hangul… rasa macam balik ke tanah air. Eh, ini serius. Aku memang serius rasa macam kembali ke tanah air bila tengok segala tulisan hangul dekat signboard. Belajar hangul banyak sangat kot? Masa sampai ke immigration tu, pakcik immigration muka masam je.. alah, usual face untuk orang yang kerja macam tu lah.. then bila sampai turn aku, terus aku cakap, “안녕하새요” , muka dia lit up sikit.. then bila dah abis, ku cakap, “감사합니다”, dia senyum..
ARRIIIVEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
One thing about Koreans, tahap hospitality dorang akan meningkat bila kita boleh cakap in their language. Even a simple sentences or words, dorang akan treat kita much better. Been there, experience that.

Done with immigration.. once dekat departure hall, first thing yang memang WAJIB beli adalah T-money. Hah.. nk beli T-money ni pun.. perghhh. Cashier dia tau simple English yang SANGAT simple. But, with a few Korean words + LOTS of English words, I manage to buy the T-money with top-up 20,000KRW [back when 2012]. Then we head to find prayer room since we arrive during Asar already.

Oh, kebetulan..during my visit, there is 2012 Seoul Summer Sale and still on ketika entry ini dipost. So, dekat airport tu, ada lah booth dia.. if we go to the booth, we’ll get goodie bag with LOTS of sample from various cosmetic products and one booklet with discount card. Guess why I picked those things? Super Junior is their ambassador. So, the booklet, the bag, got picture of SJ. =P


About prayer room, the location, totally secluded. Near to subway station, in the corner. They provided 3 prayer rooms in one place for 3 religions. Guess? No Islam. Only got Buddha, Christian and Catholics I think? But, understandable though.. Muslims are so minority here. So, it’s ok.

Then we took train to our guesthouse. Ok, why do we take train? Not taxi or bus since we got like lots of luggage? Ayah cakap nak try naik train dia. Nak experience it.

About the train in Incheon, there are two types – commuter  and express (AREX). The commuter one will stop on each stop till reach Seoul Station, while the express one will straight to Seoul Station. Alaaa.. just like KLIA transit and ERL lah. The commuter one much cheaper than express one.

people semua dgn smartphone dorang. ~_~

view from Incheon to Seoul~
We took the commuter one. Our journey to Seoul Station took around 1 hour. Oh. Those yang plan nak stay in Hongdae, no need go to Seoul Station, and u can ride this commuter train since this train will stop at Hongik University before reach Seoul Station.
Once reach Seoul Station, this station just like.. KL Sentral? we have to take Line 4 to Chungmuro before change to Line 3 to Apgujeong.

Ok, subway in Korea, got LOTS of Line.. around 9 ? Line 1 – Line 9.. then got another Lines to outskirt Seoul. So in total around… 11~12? But I assure u, u won’t get lost. Totally reliable.

Since we arrived during weekdays, so, we have to berebut with those working Koreans. But surprisingly, they have manners. I mean, they know, they have to give way to people yang nak keluar from train first before go in and whatnot. Kalau Malaysian? Pffftttt. Renung2kan dan selamat beramal!

Arrived at Chungmuro..ok, this station like..Bandar Tasik Selatan? Another main station beside Seoul Station. I guess this is the old main station before they change to Seoul Station? This station kinda old, so.. if u guys bawak beg berat, be ready to angkat bag and turun naik tangga. Hohoho

Ok another thing, Korea got LOTS of stairs. By lots, I mean totally LOTS. SANGAT banyak. Duduk sana sebulan, kaki boleh jadi macam SNSD nye kaki. 
sila ikut arrow oren untuk ke Apgujeong. ^^
Then we took Line 3 to Apgujeong. To go to Apgujeong, the train had to cross HanGang. Nice scenery during night. Once arrive, we plan to walk to guesthouse.

Ok, this is seriously PABO me! I printed the address in hangul, but not the map of guesthouse!

We kinda lost.. but thanks to few Koreans that can speak English, we manage to find the guesthouse.

Alhamdulillah, after few minutes walk from the station, we arrived and greeted by the owner of the house, abg Fariq and k.Nasihah. Then, we rest and the journey of day first end here…

The End for Day 1.......

Lol. Kidding. Not yet. For me and my siblings la. As for my parents, already end.


Ok, once we ate dinner, pray and whatnot.. at first, abg cik wanna go to HanGang.. so I just like, “ok, asked ayah, and we go.” Since if we look on the map, the HanGang totally near. And the confident me said, “ok, we walk.” Then, after few minutes we walk, I felt, that it’s too far. So I just asked abg cik either he want to go back home or we walk around the place, then he said, walked around the place.

i just love the lightning.. Giorgio Armani if i'm not mistaken...
Based on the map we bring, we can see that LOTS of entertainment company around the place where we stay. Then, I just said to them, “jom lah kita jalan-jalan area ni, mana tau nampak company.” Dalam nada main-main je pun.. then we just strolled around 20 minutes, then when I looked on my left side, at the other side of the road, 
u saw what i saw?? SMTOWN!
I SEE SMTOWN SIGN! I was like.. oh.. my….is this true? Only 20 minutes walk? Since we arrived there already, we took a chance to take few pics in front of the company.
whose van is thaaaaaat? so dark. >.<"
 Then, we headed back to guesthouse. Too tired to do anything there, plus I know SJ wont be there that night.

anyway, this is all back when i went there in 2012. so basically this SM building didnt exit anymore, well, it is exist, but didnt act as the main one anymore. there is another building, which i didnt go yet. ^^

End of my Day 1 journey. 

soo....till we meet again insyaAllah. =)

salam..../sambil tiup habuk lap2 mana patut/

hai hai. Assalamualaikum!

ingat lagi tak kat blog ni? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA tuan dia pun dah lupa tbvh. :3

oh actually just nak share ni :

"Anakanda,
Tidak perlulah bagimu untuk balik ke kampung halaman setiap kali cuti semester, walaupun Abi dan Ummi merinduimu. Merantaulah. Pergilah ke sana sini, lihat alam, kenali penghuninya, fahami Sunnatullah dalam kehidupan manusia. Sertai program-program yang pelbagai, asas bakat kepemimpinanmu, keupayaan mengurus program, kecermatanmu berinteraksi dengan manusia, kerana pengalaman-pengalaman itu kamu perlukan ia di masa hadapan.

Jika rindumu kepada Abi dan Ummi sudah seperti rindu kami berdua kepadamu, pulanglah sebentar. Satu pertiga dari cutimu. Abi dan Ummi memang suka kamu sentiasa di depan mata, kerana engkau Qurratul A'yun kami. Tetapi Abi dan Ummi lebih suka nikmat itu ditangguhkan ke masa hadapan, kerana Abi dan Ummi tidak mengimpikan lahirnya zuriat seperti impian ayam bertelurkan anak. Kami impikan kamu menjadi pejuang dan hamba Allah yang berguna. Justeru pergilah kamu berkelana. Abi dan Ummi ada Allah untuk memujuk kerinduan ini.

Semakin banyak kamu bertunggul di ruang tamu rumah, semakin pudar impian kami mengenaimu. Impian yang bukan untuk kami, tetapi untuk kebaikanmu jua"

Yang benar,

Abi dan Ummi

Assalamualaikum!

ok.ok.. before i start....

yes, i know. i promised u guys about my next part of my trip. but wait ahhhh. i'll update it..erm, InsyaAllah by tomorrow. :D 2 parts(?) left. i think?no worries, i'll update it soon. 

but today..I would like to tell u guys about this one theater that i watched this evening? afternoon? err..3 pm..so what should we call? evening? afternoon? hahaha. who cares anyway. =P

firstly... I can say that..I've been grown up with theater. I watched theater since 7 year old? 6 years old? but I can say that every year, watching theater is a-must-do-activity for my family..but as years pass by..this activity is like..been forgotten? or can I say, my family can't find a suitable theater anymore to suit with my 10 years old sister?well, lets put it aside. that's not what I want to blog about actually.

okay..

I watched Kawan-Kawan Yang Kita Suka today. easy to say, this theater is an indie theater. not as exclusive as other theater that been held in Istana Budaya whatnot. this theater been held in Stor Teater DBP with just only 4 actors. 2 girls and 2 boys. just that. well, as the name. STOR. what can we expect? extravagant hall? nahhh. only a small hall with limited seats. but hey. FULL HOUSE every.single.show okay? dont judge by its venue laaaa. =P


to summarize about this theater...

the story start with 4 friends (Agus, Nuar, Farah and Huda) playing around, lepak-ing in some stall(?) . i think. and Agus told them he will fly to Japan for some work. but he can't fly since his name is blacklist in PTPTN. then the story goes on with how Agus wanna pay whatnot. the climax is when his money that given by his parents lost! from there, those friendship bond that they build between 4 of them start to shaky. everybody accusing everybody. Nuar start to accuse Farah. Farah start to accuse Nuar. Agus start to accuse Farah and Huda. while Huda start to accuse Farah and Nuar. and they also accuse Agus as careless person. they start to fight. start to scream to each other whatnot. the mystery is solve when Nuar admit that he found the money on stairs one night and didn't know that is Agus money. but then Agus and Nuar start to fight with each other. that fight for me..was so intense. then Huda start to tell them why she love to befriend with them and everybody start to cool down. then the issue solve. Agus fly to Japan. then back home..maybe after few months? that's the end of the story.

sound simple right? friend. fight. it's normal in friendship.

BUT.

I learned one thing. TRUST. trust is important in friendship. without trust..everything gone.
and we need no reason to like,love our friends. just be with them is enough.

and yes. I admit. I cried. actually I cried a lot during their fight. it just....in other way, I can put myself in their situation even though there are different reason for me. even when the story end, my eyes still wet. lulz. =P

well, overall...this piece is great. directed by great director. acted by great actors. and managed by great teams!

what can I say... my RM30 worth it. and my 2 hours worth it too. :)

oh well, today is their last day of show. by the time this entry is done, left like..another one hour for the last show to end.

and oh well, I met Karl Shafek and talked with him lil' bit. :D

and oh well, I wore baju kurung to watch this theater. hahahahah. =P

till then,
me .

salam.

just wanna share something from fynn jamal's blog.
here,warkah seorang kakak kepada adik perempuan nya.
Mahal by Fynn Jamal.
assalamualaikum dan salam penuh cinta dari kakak. apa khabar? semoga sihat dan aman, semoga sejahtera dan sentosa. untuk kakak di negeri jauh ini, alhamdulillah --berbiasa2 dan bertenang2 sahaja.

adikku Perempuan,

bagaimana hidupmu lewat kebelakangan ini? apakah elok? apakah molek? maafkan kakak kerana sudah terlalu lama tidak berutus surat, bertukar hikayat melalu warkah. arakian hari2 kakak semenjak dua ini terlalunya sibuk dengan pelbagai. harap dimaafkan. harap diampunkan.

adikku Perempuan,

mengenai soalan kamu tentang kekasihmu si Lelaki itu, sukar hendak kakak jawabkan. kakak sendiri masih mencari makna hidup sambil memperinci iman; gerun untuk kakak berikan kata2 hikmah untukmu. tapi kakak cuba juga.

adikku Perempuan,

mahalkan diri kamu itu, dik. jangan dilelong2 pada sesiapa sesuka rasa. sabarkan diri kamu dan yakinkan pada diri yang kamu ada harga. biar ditempik seribu orang, tuhan itu maha kaya, dan dia akan bagikan kamu seseorang yang selayaknya.

kuncinya hanya tunggu.

lebih cantik seorang kamu itu kalau bijaksana dan hebat sifat diri. seperti pusaka lama yang dimahukan dan diidam2, tapi terkhusus untuk dibeli juragan dan bukan orang kebanyakan. rasakan manis cinta pertama bersama tuan yang memilikmu sehingga habis usia dunia. atau kelak kamu akan merasa ralat kerana pemilik abadi cuma mendapatmu yang sudah sisa.

adikku Perempuan,

apalah digentarkan mati seorang, tak dikasih tak disayang tak dipandang. kalau sungguh imanmu pada tuhan, pasti kamu sedar yang tidak pernah walau sekali kita ditinggal belakang. setiap masa, tuhan itu penuh kasih, melimpah sayang, selalu memandang. kita selalu ada tuhan, dik. sentiasa. setiap masa.

dan sudah dijanji pada kita yang setiap kita tercipta sama pasangannya. maka percaya. dan tunggu datangnya dia. satu2nya dia. berhati2, wahai adikku Perempuan, bila datangnya jutaan Lelaki merempuh pandang, jangan terus2 rangkul kamu itu kamu depang. ingat, dan ingat selalu; semua itu tentera2 iblis yang mahu menggoyah iman kamu.

namun ah kalau pula ditunggu satu2nya dia yang tak kunjung tiba, berimanlah pada janji2nya yang kita semua sudah ditakdir berdua2. kalau tidak dijumpakan kita di dunia, apa dimarah; bukankah lebih manis bersua di syurga? kalau di setiap puisi dan lagu kamu nazamkan penantianmu ke pintu syurga, nah~ ini masanya, bukan?

adikku Perempuan,

kalau sungguh sudah terlepas rasa mengharap cinta pada Lelaki, kuncikan maruahmu dalam peti besi yang paling waja. ambilkan kuncinya dan buangkan ke laut, atau mintakan ayahbonda pegangkan sehingga tiba masanya. ingatlah, adikku Perempuan, tak ada parang yang mahu bersarung buruk; segaknya kan hilang, garangnya kan terbuang. dan kalau pun ada, kakak begitu pasti yang merananya kamu. kerana untuk parang secantik itu, semahunya kamu hendak menjadi sarung bertatah permata hanya untuk dia.

adikku Perempuan,

masa adalah sesuatu yang jahat untuk kaum kita. jasad kita adalah makanan utama usia. maka segalanya perlu teratur molek dan cantik. mungkin, adikku, kerana itu kita begitu terdesak untuk setiap apa yang kita susun dari seawal remaja. nasihat kakak, wahai sayangku, berhentilah kau kejarkan sesuatu yang tak terpegang itu. berhenti dan terima dengan tangan terbuka yang setiap apa yang terjadi adalah tulisan dari cerita tuhan. lebih keras kau genggam takdirmu, lebih teruk nanti akan jatuhmu.

adikku Perempuan,

akan datang bila setelah semuanya kamu kerjakan, takkan tercukup pada mata Lelaki. usah kau deraikan airmata kamu itu, dik. bila tiba hari itu yang setiap usaha keras kamu dibalas tuba dan celaka, amankan hati kamu dan senyumkan sahaja. bisikkan pada jiwa kamu yang sungguh sesuatu itu bukan rezekimu. khabarkan pada hati kamu yang kamu sudah cuba setiap termampu untuk Lelaki kamu. ujarkan terima kasih pada diri kamu yang sudah menghempas-pulas setiap darah yang memeluh tubuh itu.

lurutkan dada kamu dan kata:
aku sudah cuba.

adikku Perempuan,

ada masa, tuhan mahu menduga iman yang terselit dalam dada. apakah kita lebih mengasihi Lelaki; atau Dia --yang mencipta Lelaki untuk kamu dapatkan. apakah kita lebih mencari Lelaki; atau Dia sendiri --yang mencipta Lelaki untuk kamu kejarkan.

adikku Perempuan,

kamu lebih tahu bagaimana untuk menghidupi hidupmu. kakak juga antara bidadari yang tersungkur, maka di manalah layaknya untuk kakak menjawab persoalan kamu itu. kalaulah ada apa2 yang mampu kakak paksakan untuk kamu telan intinya adalah ini: mahalkan diri kamu. jangan pun dijual pada orang sebarang2. kamu lebih tinggi dari apa kamu rasakan. pekakkan telinga pada lidah2 iblis yang mengajak kamu meniaga maruahmu secepatnya dek takut luput tarikh molekmu --kerana cantik kita tak berpenghujung bila mana dipelihara cantiknya kita itu.

adikku Perempuan,

semoga bertemu dalam lain2 warkah. sambutlah salam kasih dan cinta dari kakak ini, semoga terlerai setiap gusar risau hidup dunia yang tidak ke mana ini. semoga ayah dan bonda tidak pernah lari dari ingatan kamu.

sampai jumpa,
kekandamu;

fynn jamal,
bidadari rosak sayap,
di negeri jauh.

ye.aku tersentak sekejap baca warkah ni.perlu muhasabah lebih dalam.
