When in Japan, do as Japanese do...

7:30 AM summer
Konnichiwa~ Ni Qiller. haha... we're very sleepy right now, excluding ziha yg dah selamat..... so, i'll just do a quick update. Yesterday, after strolling around Ueno; a street-pasar-malam kinda market, and buying lots of fresh seafood yg memang never-be-found in champaign...we're decided to make a NABE for dinner!!!

nabe = hot pot



Two Aqilas' in Ueno

The Nabe included fresh shrimp (yg besar2), mihun, fish (yg rase cam ayam), mushroom (with various types), fried tofu, crab, and various types of fish cake. yum yum~ this nabe is totally home-made, k!


Tgk la udang dier~

Low and behold... they have daun limau purut here in Japan

That electric hot pot can be found in cheap price in Japan

Itadakimasu~


So... that night, we were heavenly satisfied with full stomach. haha~ life is such a bliss.
Ok lah. Org dah update my part... ziha will continue about our adventure at the never-ending-busy of Shibuya and Ijan.... maybe about cuteness of house we're living in right now (seriously, bilik gune sliding door). till then, jya mata~

London Bridge is Falling down...Falling down...

5:43 PM summer
The tittle is generated randomly... ;)

This post is from ammarfaris, the rest akan add kat bwh or tambah post baru,
cepat korang, 'orang2' jepun dah mengamuk!!!

I was glad to be able to chat with our fellow friends @ Japan... and after *ugutan serius* pun, they are still reluctant to give updates on their journey and stories there at the 'negara matahari terbit' ...tak per.. tak per...

Tatkala ziha terpukau dengan kekacakan lelaki2 asia di sane, qiller tersenyum dengan ayat2 status Ym'nyer, ijan terus merungut kasar memaksa kami di Europe mengupdate blog dengan gambar2.... saya nukilkan post ini untuk memuaskan hati kome2 (yg claim x akan update blog selagimane kami x letak post with pictures) ... of course it comes with a lot of pictures... ~seriously, a lot ~

Btw, a picture is worth a thousand words, isnt' it?....how bout many pictures.... ~ do the math yourself , dear actuarists ~

And I have to admit, that it was hard to select from hundreds of photos from milah's cool SLR camera (bangga lah tu) ....and to compress them.... haha... - sanggup tido lambat nih

So, these pictures when we were at London, UK are quite random jugak lah...

Big Ben...Subhanallah... tengok awan tuh... kesian safwan x dapat dtg
sebab sakit...safwan, tabah2...

London Eye, bersama kawan Milah, Afif

eh, ade sorang ahli baru lah..teka sape dia??? safwan dah boleh join kitorang ~
within the vicinity of Buckingham Palace

This is the Buckingham Palace, siap ade marching lagi time tuh...sesak gak lah...

Padang pasir mane pulak nih??? hehe... stylo tak dorang posing...tukang camera lagi stylo lah tapi

Nak tahu sape yg jaga kawasan nih...mamat nih...cool jerh ..tapi....

Tapi...dier cuak jugak lah biler ade dua org laki gagah tepi dier

at National Gallery... Smile everyone...

bangga kejap sebab nampak flag Malaysia

Sempat tengok Wicked lagi dekat theatre dekat Victoria,
aku x join lah, sebab dh tengok dekat Chicago...saving sket!!!

Dr. vs Engineer. Teka sape mereka? Org yg byk membantu kitorang masa dekat London.
Byk gak kawan laki Milah yer...hehe... ~ Dari kiri - Zul, Afif

Si Zul tuh serabut otak pikir, "mane lah nk sumbat beg2 yg dak2 ni tumpangkan kat rumah aku"
FYI, beg kitorang byk sgt smpai kena reduce tuk senang biler travel around EUROPE...hehe
Kalu lah x reduce, kitorang dh pengsan sblm smpai hotel kitorang kat Madrid, Spain (NANTIKAN CERITA KAMI DI SPAIN SELANJUTNYA)

Thanks byk2 ye Zul and Afif (x lupa juga kepada Huzaifah, Abg Azim dan Faris).. merci2..gracias...

.j.A.p.A.n. .: Day 1- "Bring your life to life - stop planning, start doing"

8:33 AM summer
nimen hao!wo hen kaixin kan nimen de post!fei chang hao~semoga istiqamah la ye kawan-kawan...

muka excited dapat tiket!

without proper planning, we head to Japan...the only thing we know is the contact info of my friend. and this made our1 Day in Japan pretty much exciting~

13hours of flight was really tiring...we had to fill out quarantine form and I was freaking out considering I have all the symptoms of the swine flu except fever...*nowadays, ijan easily freaked out*....in order to not be quarantined, i decided to check NO boxes...

everyone ended up to be quarantined for 15 minutes-30minutes..(dpt sijil kuning beb)....

Align Leftdecided to wear mask so that they think I've been taking a very good care of my health

kami sangat bergaya ok.we've been taking public transportation like this is our country...(kat malaysia pun x camni ni!)...and QILLER encounter some tiny problem with the immigration as she did not have the address of place we will be staying in Japan...and she even forget the name of the person we'll be staying with even though she has the same name as that person...orang~

and BTW:
assem- your color is orange!
milah- muka mamai nak mati, ada hati nak hantar orang.
mina- pastikan kamu xkan berhenti mengpost.
safwan- jangan emo2
amar - baru ko tau betapa bestnye orang yg ko rasa bosan bosan bila xde tu
and, we are not in a very good condition right now, please pray that we will be healthy!!

OH SO RANDOM:
1- japanese are really friendly and soooooooo helpful
2-if you speak some complicated english and act cheerful you can pass immigration and custom easily...
3- traveling with a super huge bag is super duper tiring-(menyesal pula setuju membelikan keluarga barang-barang, I should have just gone backpacking....T.T )
4- we are living in a Ju-On like neighborhood...spooky I tell you...
5- japanese walks really fast and there are some tense aura emitting out of them...(berdasarkan pengalaman di station subway)
6- i am more independent than I think I am...ziha is more independent than she think she is and so does qiller!
7-my years of watcching taiwanese, korean and japanese drama have finally proven to be useful...(see ma, i was not watching them for nothing)

we managed to go from terminal 2 {where ziha and ijan landed) to terminal 1(where qiller landed) in a flick of second.

we thought we were super cool but, we figured it only happens at the airport!

Public transportation here in tokyo is seriously not a joke!
signboards, places names and even the ticket machines are all in JAPANESE!. ticket officer cant speak english as well and and qiller's knowledge in japanese, isn't much helpful either. they are in kanji, qiller's knowledge is only limited to hiragana.
amidst of confusion and clueless of trying to find where tickets should be bought, there came a gagak with his japanese wife and a hybrid of two daughter, Aisyah. Allah Merciful, alhamdullilah. he spoke english and he showed us
how to buy the ticket and which platform we should go. Allah bless the family, ameen. we were so grateful, and we learned that this kind of things sometimes wont happen twice.
yeah, we gotta do some homework from now on, at least for now.

new word for the day: sumimasen - excuse me

p/s: I LOVE YOU (^^)...be healthy, be happy~...and...

My first time in UK, Mr. Lonely

8:17 PM summer
It is 4.21 a.m. in the morning and i'm still awake...

Fajr here starts at 2.28 a.m (wow, so early ma~) ...

Thus, my plan is to perform the Subuh prayer first and then sleep... but it is now almost an hour and a half after praying Subuh and my eyes still rebelliously chose not to close...

Jet lag???Desynchronosis???


Yup, that might be the reason!!!

A building within the vicinity of IC (Imperial College)

This is my first time traveling to UK and I was really excited. Despite traveling alone in a quite uncomfortable aeroplane, next to a Croatian guy (who's good in some other languages besides English...too bad), the excitement was palpable even since the first time I stepped into the plane.

I embark into a journey I hope I will never regret....

I arrived at Heathrow Aiport, London around 7.15am in the morning. Glad my friend,namely Huzaifah from Imperial College (mcm mane ak kenal dier, tuh nnti ak explain...bukan kenal sgt pun sebenarnye) manage to find me (even though he thought i would be arriving in a different terminal). At that moment, I realized how hard and miserable life would be without cellphones..haha...

I felt a litte bit sleepy now... So let the picture explain the second half of my journey yesterday...haha...

By the way, i forgot to bring the cable which enable me to transfer pictures from my Sony cam to my laptop... Thus, i use pictures from my iphone and from my friend's SLR (which look pretty much similar to Milah's) - basically ak cilok gambar yg dier letak kat blog dier - rupanyer dier lagi cepat and active blogging.... nk harapkan blog ak, x tau lah biler nk update...hehe...

Teka kat mane?? Tempat Siti Nurhaliza pernah perform dulu2...

Bersama senior (dekat KISAS dulu), x tau lah pulak dier amek Mechanical Engin dekat
Imperial College, nih Rolls Royce punyer engine dlm bgunan Mechanical Engin department yg dier bakal modify

I think i will be 'modifying' this post soon... I need to rest... =)

Nih tambahan gambar...T-shirt, oyster card tuk naek 'tube' (mcm card touch 'n' go utk LRT) and buku hak milik sahabat baik yg menyambutku, Huzaifah... lelong2...

T-shirt 3 pound = 4.17 USD = RM14.63 ... haha...
