Closing Remarks on Japan-You will never discover new ocean until you have the courage to lose sight of the shore :)

seperti yg dijanjikan...dugudugudugudugu (efek gendang ye rakan2)..

its ziha in the housee~~

after a week in japan, we arrived in korea yesterday. but our hearts feel the same; missing japan already. the most unforgettable memory from japan is the hospitality we got from both hosts (qila, kak ct n diana) and japan citizen.

one word: amazing!
- nice house to live in and we were provided with delicious scrumptious food after a day of tiresome. not to mention, they brought us to different kinds of restaurant to let us taste local food at cheaper price; takoyaki, sushi, dorayaki.

- every time we were looking for something, someone would approach and try their best to help us out, without being asked. and diligently ask others if they do not know. arigatou gozaimasu!

itu dorayaki doraemon


makan sushi kt kdai sushi yg sgt canggih

for those who are curious about the famous shibuya for its busiest crosswalk, below are the pictures. It connects 4 crossings and believe me, it never gets less people crossing. i can't understand this even. standing there for a while observing didn't give any clue as well. maybe japanese just loves to cross. haha

before n after

dari pandangan atas : manusia spt semut


on the same day before we went to shibuya, we went to harajuku, where cosplayers hang around. cosplayer tu cm org2 jepun pkai baju pelik2 tu. we did see some, but it wasn't for display or photograph. quite disappointing, maybe because it was raining. they usually there and do not mind if we want to take pictures with them. cool jugak org pelik ni.


mungkin dorg rs dorg comel, hek3


and the coolest thing among all is, we got on a day trip to mount fuji and hakone!!went there by motorcoach and got back by shikansen/bullet train. the trip is for foreigners with english speaking tour guide explaining everything. mesti korg rs kitorg kaya, tp tlgla percaya, arga dia xmhl mn compared to service yg kitorg dpt.
the coolest thing in this coolest trip is, we gotta know other travelers from other countries too, and one of them is studying in UIUC! Its in japan our path crossed yo!. What a small world.

And taking subway since the first day we got to Japan (6 days at that time point), making the bus couldn’t be any more comfortable place to sleep in. haha. We never fail to doze off every time we got on the bus, giving every chance for other passengers to realize. This one American uncle sitting in front of us smpai perli2. hahaha.

shikansen terlaju setakat ni; nozomi

mt fuji.

Yeah, that pretty much summarizes our trip in Japan. Korang yg kt Europe kalo ade crite best update la skali. kepada yg sakit tu, bwk2la minum air gn vitamin C. Ak aritu minum jus oren agk berkesan dowh. Slamat berjln semua org, hv fun n take care

- Nazihara -

(sebut dlm nada plg cute korg bole buat).Just bcoz subway announcer sebut kotake mukaihara tmpt kitorg duduk tu comel. Haha :P

anyeong n out!

When in Japan, do as Japanese do...

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...

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...

Safwan dah semakin sihat.

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

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 shou
ld 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...
