Trip to Busan and Seoul - Planning Edition!

It is almost a month  two months (this post was in my draft for a month haha) since the RMO started but I finally got the inspiration and drive to sit down and write about my South Korea trip! I need to be quick before I start forgetting any important details. So, March last year I decided that I wanted to go to South Korea. I whatsapped some friends who had told me in passing that they wanna go on a trip together but apparently no one wants to travel with me :( Just kidding, it was an out of the blue decision and the people I asked did not really have any money to spend on tickets right there and then. And it was a short window too. I was in a rush because I wanted to get the MATTA fair price. I told my mother about my plan and said maybe this is going to be a solo trip but she said, "you don't want to go with me?". We had a very short discussion and then it was decided that I will be going to Korea with my parents. Now, I gotta plan a trip for three people.

2020!

It is only March but this year has been really crazy. While this year has been good to me personally, it's definitely not that good for a lot of people right now. Just to recap on what had happened and what is happening (just in case I'm gonna read this in the future) 1. I got a new job in August 2019 and finally got my permanent status this year. The pay is not that much but I do have the money to get by. Good thing I'm not a shopaholic haha. And that I still live with my parents. And that we have free buses for me to go to work. 2. I went to South Korea with my parents in February! I know that they are great people but I can't believe that I could travel with them for 8 days and I did not even fight with my mother once haha. The pace was great and it was a very much needed holiday for the three of us. I wish we can do that every year. Maybe next time we'll bring my brothers too. I plan to write several blog posts on my trip later but I have to wait until m

28!

This is late but if you're reading this, Happy New Year! I was in the middle of writing this when I suddenly got hit by an existential crisis. It was pretty dark that it almost turn morbid. Okay, it was definitely a bit morbid but I did something I've been planning to do for a while now so I managed to keep the bad thoughts at bay. Brains are amazing. Maybe I should talk a little bit about my crisis and then move on with other more pleasant things. While I am very positive and sometimes I may look like I ooze sunlight out of me, I can be very hard on myself. My thoughts can be depressive but I am not depressed because I think of it as a form of self-actualization. Haha I don't think I am fully self-actualized but I do try to see myself in all angles, good and bad. I usually let myself wallow in self-pity for a few moments but I'm already 28 so today I've decided to postpone my pity party. Save it for a time where I can afford to be sad. Now, let's move o

End.

This was written when a friend was going through a terrible heartbreak and also while I was listening to Can't Love You Anymore by IU and Oh Hyuk on repeat. Since then I believe things got better and I am listening to happier music so I guess there's no point in finishing this story haha. ******* You will always be reminded of the start when you are ending something. Or when something has ended. Like that morning when we were both spitting vile words like only lovers can, perfectly aiming for the soft spots we voluntarily showed and displayed to each other. As I sat down, wounded, I remembered the start when we knew nothing about each other, heavy armors ready to be taken down, blissfully unaware that the end was going to be this ugly. But if I had known, would I still shed the armor concealing me from the ugliness of the world or would I still happily bare myself down for you? It was a long journey for us to get here. The countless night spent watching each other in lit

Blogging because my stomach masuk angin  and I can't sneak in Maggi inside my room because my parents are outside. Sure I can eat outside but why would I do that haha. Today, I wanna talk about being grateful and how rezeki is in all sort of form. Writing this down in case one day I decided to be one ungrateful brat so I can slap myself. I realised how rezeki comes in many form. Material wise, relationships with your parents, friends, significant others, happiness and many more. As for me, I know my rezeki in a relationship with a significant other hasn't arrived yet, probably won't but I realised that I can never complain about that. My rezeki in other places are abundant so I shall enjoy and be grateful with what I have. Money wise, while right now I only have RM58 in my account, I realised that I was never short of money. Not that I will have people hand me money, it's just that Allah will show me a way to get them in case I needed it. I have a small business o

It's late and I am going for a picnic tomorrow! Will be cooking too so I should be sleeping but huhuhu I will risk it! Today my Pak Ngah passed away but I am at home because Ariff is having his PT3 on Monday and my parents are unsure whether they can make it before Monday. Growing up, I saw my Pak Ngah a lot. He took some wrong turns in his life, costing him a lot, including his own son but he braved through it all, turning over a new leaf before he passed away. I'm not God so I don't know where will he end up but he went from the son who would shout at my grandmother on Raya morning to my grandmother's favorite. He was with here all the time at the end of his life and that is definitely a nice chapter to end your book at. As for my grandmother, I hope she will be strong enough to face this. Now I am at a weird point in my life. It feels like I have things under control but at the same time, I think I feel like I don't. I also don't contribute anything to

So... my social media detox lasted less than 2 weeks. Hahaha. But I still haven't installed Twitter on my phone, just using it on incognito tab on my phone so that it would be harder for me to open them and waste time on it. Last week was pretty eventful. I got sick! My mother and I ate the chicken rice that she bought and she puked thrice and got diarrhea. I have a pretty strong stomach but I guess the chicken rice is a stronger contender haha. I was okay at first. I also didn't eat anything else so my rice needed to be digested first before I can remove them. In the morning, I woke up and went to the toilet but still was feeling super bad and then I projectile vomited haha. I spent two days not eating anything other than few bites here and there and Alhamdulillah by Saturday, I was fine. The bad thing about this is that I don't have any energy to make sandwiches which means no money but the good thing is I was actually the lightest I have ever been in years hahaha.
