Yes...this place run by blind peoples. Sedikit sejarah pasal DID ni telah ditubuhkan sejak tahun 1988, lebih kurang 25 tahun yang lalu. Up till now, Dialogue in the Dark has been presented in more than 30 countries and 130 cities throughout the world.
"...Our goal is to raise awareness and create tolerance for "otherness" in
the general public, thereby overcoming barriers between “us” and “them”..."
Di Malaysia, DID ni takde lah baru sangat tapi mungkin tak ramai yang sedar kewujudannya disebabkan kurangnya publisiti. So, last week aku diberi peluang untuk experience sendiri DID ni.
Another shopping mall opened in Putrajaya. So, orang-orang Putrajaya takde la patah kaki sangat bila tiba bab-bab 'buang duit' ni. Hihihiiii...Jangan salah faham yer! Bukanlah maksudnya orang-orang Putrajaya ni kaya...tapi kadang-kadang bila nak buat aktiviti menghiburkan hati ni tak tau nak pergi mana selain Alamanda. Sekurang-kurangnya bila ada mall baru ni, adalah option selain Alamanda tu. Let's review apa yang ada di IOICity Mall ni!
Mall ni baru je buka pada 20 November 2014 yang lalu. So..dengan gegehnya aku pun pi la menjenguk apa-apa yang patut on the 2nd day of opening.
Berakhir sudah trip autumn kali ni. Lama juga la aku pegi, 13 hari. Flight on 24th October and returned on 5th November 2014. Kali ni memang target peak autumn since last trip pergi masa awal season. So tak dapatlah tengok daun kaler-kaler tu.
Alhamdulillah...mission accomplished! (Senyum ada sampai telinga~~hahahahaaa) Next year...tak payahlah pegi Korea lagi (kononnyeeee!!). Banyak lagi negara lain dalam dunia ni! Overall...ok. Nak ingat yang best2 je. Yang tak best...simpan je sendiri dalam hati, buat pedoman di hari tua :P
Ok...for intro, kite bagi teaser dulu. Hikhikhikkk!!!
Week by week...Day by day...excited nak sambut Raya Haji tapi lagi excited membilang hari dan waktu for my next trip. Looking forward to it. Harap-harap impian akan terlaksana. Hihihihiii...Will update later!
Finally, today is the day! Setelah 35 hari tragedi, saat yang ditunggu oleh semua waris penumpang MH17 dan rakyat Malaysia muncul juga. Kepulangan yang dinanti...walau hanya dengan jasad yang kaku. Namun sekurang-kurangnya, ia bertanda dan masih ada kubur yang boleh dilawati dan dikenang.
Kumpulan pertama jenazah mangsa MH17 selamat tiba di KLIA pagi tadi dan seluruh rakyat Malaysia berkabung bagi memberi penghormatan kepada mangsa. What a sad day for all of us! Ya Allah, kami bersyukur atas kemudahan yang Kau berikan kepada kami. Berilah kami kekuatan dalam menghadapi dugaan dan ujian Mu ini Ya Allah.
Walau tiada ahli keluarga terbabit dalam insiden MH17, sebagai seorang saudara seagama dan rakyat Malaysia aku turut terkesan dengan apa yang berlaku. Mengalir juga airmata saat melihat keranda dikeluarkan dan dimasukkan ke dalam van jenazah. Aku pasti bagi keluarga mangsa...ianya berganda-ganda kali sedih dari apa yang aku rasa. Berat mata memandang, berat lagi bahu memikul. Saat melihat waris-waris, anak kecil mengalirkan airmata hiba menyambut kepulangan jenazah, sebak dan pilu dalam hati hanya Dia yang tahu.
For the next-of-kin, be strong and keep strong! Semoga perjalanan terakhir semua jenazah dipermudahkan dan diberkati. Al-Fatihah...
Today I would like to share about this Korean Restaurant known as Ko Hyang. Ko Hyang in Hangugo means village or hometown. Actually this restaurant had few branches around Kuala Lumpur located at Sunway Pyramid, Mid Valley, Mont Kiara, One Utama and Cheras. The one we ate yesterday is located at Cyberjaya.
Pulau Pinang is known as food paradise. If you are food lover, Pulau Pinang is one of the best place you can go for food hunting. There are a lot of variety of food and of course Penang is well-known as spicy food. Penang's signature dish as we know such as Nasi Kandar, fish curry, laksa and char kuey teow.
For 4 days, our main meals is curry. Hahahaaa...sampai tangan pun bau kari. Adoiiiii....Original Kayu Nasi Kandar is the first restaurant that we go for our dinner.
Today, my colleagues and I will go to Pulau Pinang to attend a course. Our flight will depart around 7.30 pm from KLIA. This rombongan Cik Kiah landed at Penang International Airport 1 hour later. For 4 days 3 nights we will be staying at Shangri-La Rasa Sayang Resort & Spa. This hotel takes about 1 hour from airport.
오랜만이죠! 좀 바빴어요. 잘지내지? (Hi, all. How are you doing?)
Dah bersawang gamaknya blog aku ni. Dah lama tak menulis. Back to back works, limiting my time to share about my life. But this time, I had something to tell you. Tadaaaa...CNBLUE is coming to Malaysia!!!! Yes...for 3rd time definitely. Kesetiaan dan kesabaran BOICE berbaloi akhirnya. Cewahhhh...hahahah ^_^
Layout seat pun dah keluar. The venue will be the same as World Tour last year which is Stadium Negara. Brought by IME Productions and will be held on 9 August 2014. And as usual...the ticket price mak datokkkkkkk! Mahei giler! (Padahal lebih kurang jek dengan World Tour's ticket). Maknanya aku akan pokai lagi dan lagi! Huhuuu...CNBLUE punye pasal aku pejam jek la mata.
Yeayyy!!! Finally, CNBLUE made their comeback with Can't Stop on 23rd February 2014. This album is their 5th mini album released in Korea and only been released after more than 1 year since the fourth one. We know how busy you were, guys!
This is a new sound of CNBLUE. It contains of six songs where all of them are composed by the band member. Jung Yong Hwa is the most member took part in producing this album together with the rest. From composing, lyrics writing to producing this album. As usual...ma boy! Tibe claim dia camtu :DDDD I like all the songs in this album. Arghhhh...really can't wait to own this album. Cool babe...you still have long time to be there. :((
This song called Can't Stop which also become the title track and the first teaser out is very refreshing, attracting and easy listening. It changes and shows the maturity of this band in performing their music. Another songs in this album are :
Diamond Girl
Sleepless Night - composed by Lee Jong Hyun
Cold Love
Love Is.....
Like A Child
씨엔블루 (CNBLUE) – Can’t Stop
그대를 닮은 봄 향기가 아직 차네요
Can’t stop me now Can’t stop me now
나는 멈출 수 없네요 I can’t stop loving you
흩날리는 바람에 그대 떠올라
눈 부신 햇살에 그대 떠올라
나는 멈출 수 없네요 I can’t stop loving you
한걸음 뒤라면 허락할 수 있나요 miss you
한걸음 뒤에서 나는 기다릴게요
그것도 안돼요 그것도 안돼요
그것도 안되면 그럼 난 어떡하나요
그대 한마디에 나는 웃어요
거울처럼 매일 살아요
나의 하루는 그대의 것이죠
Can’t stop me now Can’t stop me now.
그대를 닮은 봄 향기가 아직 차네요
Can’t stop me now Can’t stop me now.
나는 멈출 수 없네요 I can’t stop loving you
미친 듯 미칠 듯 한없이 부르다 보면
한번은 돌아볼까요
Can’t stop me now Can’t stop me now
그대만 바라보는 내 맘 아직 시려요
Can’t stop me now Can’t stop me now
나는 멈출 수 없네요 I can’t stop loving you
흩날리는 바람에 그대 떠올라
눈부신 햇살에 그대 떠올라
나는 멈출 수 없네요 I can’t stop loving you
Translation
I will think of you just once a day, miss you
I’ll try to forget you just once a day
Can’t I? Can’t I?
If I can’t, then what do I do?
At one word you say, I smile
I live like a mirror every day
My day is yours
Can’t stop me now Can’t stop me now
The scent of spring that resembles you is still cold
Can’t stop me now Can’t stop me now
I can’t stop, I can’t stop loving you
I think of you at the blowing wind
I think of you at the dazzling sunlight
I can’t stop, I can’t stop loving you
If I take a step back, will you allow me? Miss you
I will be waiting from a step back
Can’t I? Can’t I?
If I can’t, then what do I do?
At one word you say, I smile
I live like a mirror every day
My day is yours
Can’t stop me now Can’t stop me now
The scent of spring that resembles you is still cold
Can’t stop me now Can’t stop me now
I can’t stop, I can’t stop loving you
If I call out to you endlessly, crazily, crazily
Will you hear me at least once?
Can’t stop me now Can’t stop me now
My heart that only looks at you is still cold
Can’t stop me now Can’t stop me now
I can’t stop, I can’t stop loving you
I think of you at the blowing wind
I think of you at the dazzling sunlight
I can’t stop, I can’t stop loving you
오랜많이죠! 안녕핬었어요? 잘지내고 바랍니다. 요즘은 날씨가 너무 따뜻해요. 물 많이 마시고 건강하세요. (Hi, how are you? Hope everyone is fine. Recently, the weather is so hot. Please drink plenty of water and take care of yourself!)
Today, I lost my mind. Suddenly speaking Korean language. It's been a while since my class ended and my friends and I didn't practiced Korean Language anymore. Oh my!!! I am afraid if I would forget everything and squander what we have learned. That is why I always practice even it sounds poyo. Like I care!!! Hahahaaaa.....
To be honest...I start to slowly forget how to spell and talk using Korean Language. 친구야~~한국말 연습하자!
Okay...let's talk about the main topic here. I am having my lunch at Oiso, Ikano Power Centre. The Korean traditional cuisine and cafe. Another option for Korean food lover. They open few branches in Kuala Lumpur and you may refer to their Facebook for any updates and other info. I like the decoration the most. Simple and sweet.
Today is our second day and last day at Cameron Highlands. LoL...Yes, 2D1N. Seems like Korean variety show right?! Hahahaaa...like I said before this is a suka-suki trip. Sometimes we just need a break after working non stop.There will be more burden as you grow up. Work and personal life should be balanced.
Stop mumbling, please ㅋㅋㅋ...
Morning Cameron!!! @Day 2
After check out, this is the first place we go. Big Red Strawberry Farm! Enjoy the photo!!
Okay..this time I want to show some appreciation for my country. As a loyal citizen (uhukk..uhukk...), we should support any government's programs. Yeayyy!!! That's the spirit that should have among citizens, right? Oppsss...sorry, tetiba termasuk emosi serius lak hihiii...
Well, this year is a Visit Malaysia Year (VMY). To support government's efforts to promote and generate tourism industry, here we come...Cameron Highlands!!!
<<30 January 2014>>
As planned, my friends and I start our road trip around 10.00 am. Even though it's late from original plan (biasalah...perempuan :) ), we manage to arrive Cameron Highlands around 1.30 pm. We go for lunch first before check in. We stay at Jasmine Hotel and the nearest landmark is KFC and Hong Kong Hotel. Like previous trip, this one also is a budget travel plus suka-suki ㅋㅋㅋ...Therefore, everything should be budgeted.
I know there are a lot of independent travelers out there but still...I would like to share my experience which I think best to apply and do if you travel as backpacker.
Before the trip
Booked ticket (if necessary)
Buy ticket during promotion. Don't forget to print the boarding pass.
Booked hotel / guesthouse
Since this is a budget travel so I booked cheap, accommodate, convenience but comfortable guesthouse.
Do research on the country you want to go
It is important to know anything relates to immigration documents or procedure of the country such as visa. This information can be referred to local authority website or experienced traveler.
Also, it is beneficial to study about their culture and language. At least the basic one.
Do your own itenarary
Plan your day. It helps to maximize and smooth your travel.
Get the direction how to get to the place and other related information such as operation hour, ticket fee, activities can be done etc.
For Muslim traveler, you need to do a research on halal food and where to perform your prayer.
Source of info would be blogs and local tourism website.
Prepare your budget
Overall budget must be under your means. Again, this is a budget travel so do not dare to spend more than your ability. ㅋㅋㅋㅋ.....
Exchange money
For me, this matter is quite critical. Of course you want something that profitable. From my experience, from the day you booked your flight ticket, always give an eye to currency matter. Especially if your destination is a high living cost country.
Get the average rate of the currency and you can start monitor daily rate. At this level, Money Changer will be your 'best friend'. Buy once the rate is low or at par.
Yeayyy...finally! Finally I can finish everything. This is
my last entry for my first trip to Seoul. Opsssss...first trip??? Does it means
there will be another trip to Korea in future? Hahaha. Well..I guess so. I like
the ambience and hopefully one day I could make it again.
<<28 September 2013>>
A day before, we ask Mr Bo to call a taxi for airport transfer. Definitely we couldn't help to take airport bus with such a heavy luggage and all the stuffs.
Goodbye and thank you to the nice Mr Bo...
Our flight is scheduled at 11.00am. Look at this picture, I couldn't tell what's in my mind. Happy to go home but sad to leave here. Tibe....Goodbye Seoul.
The flight land off at KLIA at 4.30 pm. Yes...I'm back!!! That's how we end our short trip. Thank you friends for everything. Yan, Jaja, Lin and Afzan...hope you guys enjoy this trip too!
Total expenditure for Day 6 : KRW 19,000 (Airport transfer : KRW90,000)
<<27th September 2013>> Today is Friday. What a beautiful day! We start our day with breakfast at guesthouse as usual. Today is gonna be a long day for us since this is our last day to hang around. We'll be back to Malaysia tomorrow morning. Our first destination is National War Museum at Itaewon.
>> Route : Hoehyeon Station (Line 4) ---> Samgakji Station (Line 4 Exit 12) Just walk ahead about 5 minutes; Fare : KRW1,050. No line transfer....yeayyy!!
They're having some sort of army celebration outside the hall.
The grounds of the War Memorial of Korea were once the headquarters of the
Korean Infantry. Many experts from different fields were consulted numerous
times and exhaustive research was done in order to complete the exhibits. This
memorial is the largest of its kind in the world.
I can't say what's inside because we didn't come into the museum hall.
I'm on my bed right now. Force myself to sleep but I can't. I'm so envy with Boice who will attend and have fun in the concert. My memories can' t just skip Blue Moon in Malaysia. What a great memories with the boys. Huarghhhhh!!! I miss the moment indeed. Wish I could be there.....~~
OMG!!! It's 4th day already?? Time flies so fast! That means we only have two more days to spend in Korea.
Our plan today is just to cover Everland. Wowww!! This is also one of my dream. To enjoy everything they have in the amusement park. Hopefully I can cover as much place as I can. 가자 (Let's go)!!!
>> Route : Hoehyeon Station (Line 4) ---> Dongdaemun History & Culture Park (Line 2) ---> Jamsil (Line 2 Exit 6); Fare : KRW1,150. Take bus no. 5700 at the bus stop in the middle of the road. Fare : Ermmm...I can't exactly remember how much but it's around KRW2,000 (If i'm not mistaken) and you can use T-Money. Once arrive there, you have to ride shuttle bus to get to theme park.
This is my first time using bus except for the airport bus. What can I say about it is I like the way they manage their public transport. Very efficient and reliable. There's a bus timetable at the bus stop. You can get an info on which bus stop to wait and what time the bus will arrive at the bus stop. They are very punctual. Something that can be learned and changed, same goes as the subway.
Today is our 3rd day in Korea. We will cover Trick Art Museum at Hongdae, Namsangol Hanol Village and also Namsan Tower. As usual...let's have a breakfast first. We need energy afterall...yeay, fighting!!!
>> Route : Hoehyeon Station (Line 4) ---> Chungmuro Station (Line 3) ---> Euljiro 3-ga (Line 2) ---> Hongik University (Line 2 : Exit 9) ; KRW1,050. Walk straight after the exit until you see traffic light in the main road leading up to Hongik University. Cross the zebra crossing in front of you and turn left immediately after crossing it. You can see a signboard of Trick Eye Museum (In front of 고시원 building) after about 20 meters walking. Then, you need to continue walking straight about 2 meters and look right. Trick Eye Museum is at the basement.
Next destination is Petite France. We ride the same bus as we depart from Gapyeong Station just now. Just wait in front of 7eleven but you must know the bus schedule as I give before. Again...this is one of the filming spot of Running Man. The guest artists are Nickhun and Taecyeon from idol group, 2PM. Along with Running Man is Secret Garden starring Hyun Bin and Ha Ji won and Beethoven Virus. Since I never watch Beethoven Virus, so there's nothing I can say. Hihihiiii...that's some of the reason why I wanna come here besides the beautiful landscape. Entrance fee is KRW8,000 but I've printed discount voucher before we came so the fee is only KRW6,000 (Price may varies).
Can you see the arrow behind? That's a Running Man's jail. This area also is a filming location for Secret Garden
Today we're gonna explore 나미 섬 (Nami Island)...러브 아이렌드. Follower of K-drama will definitely familiar with this island. This is the location of Winter Sonata that has became a phenomena in 2002. Besides the popularity of the drama, Nami Island also keep it's own history on how it starts until what they have as today.
So..let's start our journey for today.
We take subway from Heohyeon Station to Gapyeong Station.
>> Route : Heohyeon Station (Line 4) ---> Dongdaemun Station (Line 1) ---> Hoegi (Jugang Line) ---> Mangu Station (Gyuongchun Line) ---> Gapyeong Station (Gyuongchun Line; Exit 2); Fare : KRW1,950
Huhuhu...still in day 1. What a long.......story, isn't it! Okay, finish with the palace. We walk away to Gwanghwamun where Hangeul Statue, King Sejong and the statue of the most respected Korean naval commander, Admiral Yi Sun-Sin are located.
An independent young lady who just want to enjoy her life up to the max. I just love to travel. It was not so long since I started my new hobby, hopefully in the future there will be more meaningful life I live in.
"...It's your life, live it well..."
출발!!!
