Of 2016.

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.

Hello, 2017. It has been quite a while since 2017 is with us, but due to time restraint, this is my first time of blogging in this new year.

2016 has been quite a year for me. From January to December, either with friends or family members, either with assignments and lecturers, and mixture of feelings that blended very well, with spices of lessons that enhanced the taste of life - everything had been so great.

Overall, I am very glad to reminisce the days of 2016, which some of them might not be forgotten from my memory forever.

January 2016 began with a nice trip of me, together with my parents and my sister Mayyah, to my brother Ijat's house at Langkawi. It was amazing that it was the first time I enjoyed cable car ride with Mak, and spent Ayah's birthday at Langkawi together with the siblings :)

February, March and April and even May 2016 had been super busy months for me, as a final year law student. With the usual and regular type of assignments, tutorial questions, and additional of oral and written submissions for legal practice subjects, as well as file submissions according to datelines.
It was a new experience in new ambient as I had not been that busy ever since my first day at law school. Law school had been busy with reading all the materials; statutes, legal textbooks, encyclopedia, journal etc, but the business of a final year student was much more than that :'D (some stories about a 4th year law school stud can be read here -> http://maryam-kamal.blogspot.my/2016/04/cakap-siang-pandang-pandang-d.html )

On May 2016, my family and I were surprised with an incident. Again, I went to Langkawi to facilitate Ijat and his family, who had lost their youngest newest baby in the family. He named her #AisyahNurJannah, and it was a reflection trip for me. The baby bump of my sister in law that I saw back then in January, was no longer there, and we did not have the opportunity to even see the baby's face, as she was kept eternally very quickly. Only Ijat was able to at least kiss and have her in his embrace. Langkawi is never the same anymore. It is now a land that keeps a precious body of our family member, who we are yet to meet. Looking forward to see you in Jannah, Aisyah. Insha ALLAH :') [story about our beloved Aisyah can be read here -> http://maryam-kamal.blogspot.my/2016/05/tarik-aku-sama-denganmu.html ]

Of 2016, June was the month of fasting (Ramadhan) and July was the Eid (Syawal). We spent nice time together as family, in celebrating both holy months. After the Raya, my university classmates and I went to Penang to attend some friends' wedding. It was indeed a very precious memories with my friends. We had really good times together, and those moments will always be cherished by me :)

August 2016, another achievement unlocked for me myself. I drove by myself all the way from Pasir Mas to Kuala Perlis, via the scary Grik route haha. It is known to be a challenging route even for senior drivers, whatmore for a 4-5 years of experience driver like me myself.

It was actually Ayah's idea, which then agreed by Mak, so I put my trust to me myself, as they seemed to believe in me so much. And yes, like they opined, alhamdulillah I successfully and safely drove me myself, and Mayyah there. We then got on the ferry to Langkawi, which later picked up by Ayah who was already there, taking a flight from KL. (story about this journey can be read here -> http://maryam-kamal.blogspot.my/2016/08/pasir-mas-kuala-perlis-another.html )

August also usually meant for #PercutianGadisOgos for Scha, Fiq and me myself. Past three years, we went to PCB and on 2015, we went backpacking to Penang. For 2016, we suggested many places (as usual) but they ended up agreeing with me who stubbornly wanted to hike Bukit Keluang, Terengganu. Together with some other ex-classmates of our alma mater, Maahad Muhammadi (P), we did hike Bukit Keluang, picnic at its beach and later spent our night there, enjoying the food and beach which were so nice, and we could not ask for more! Indeed the time spent with these #FiqSchaYam girls was so memorable, plus with the girls of MMP whom I had not met for quite some time. (story about this trip can be read here -> http://maryam-kamal.blogspot.my/2016/08/percutian-gadis-ogos-30-bukit-keluang_26.html )

Aidiladha was then celebrated on September 2016, and as usual, my family and I had nice time celebrating it together. (story for Aidiladha can be read here -> http://maryam-kamal.blogspot.my/2016/09/aidiladha-1437h-nati-mari-semula-deh.html )

A bit later after that, I visited Syahirah, a close friend of mine when I was in matric center back then in PJ, who is majoring in Medicine, so her faculty is located at IIUM Kuantan instead of Gombak. She brought me for sightseeing of Kuantan. Though only in short time, we had fun together, provided the fact that we had not met each other since past 3-4 years. I am very lucky to have her in my life, a friend who always sees and highlights many positive things in me when I could not see any.

On October, again, I went to Langkawi. This time, a family trip with the whole family members, including my eldest brother, Abang Mat and his family, as well as Kak Tie and her family. All 5 of us - the siblings, with both of our parents, including Ayah's maternal aunty, paid a visit to Ijat's house and we were blessed with so much fun. After all, bonding and spending time together were the main key, so anything we did actually did not really matter. But being at picturesque Langkawi, great  activities indeed brought us closer, such as the adventurous island hopping, not to mention the compulsory numerous times of visit to Haji Ismail Group :'D

Fiq also had her #PreConvo shoot at Bukit Tinggi on that October. It was an impromptu idea of mine to bring her all the way from Gombak to Bukit Tinggi. The place was well-known to be nice but I had never been there. She also. So we two, together with Scha, enjoyed and had our really nice time up there. Not only capturing pictures with good views, but also capturing moments with good memories. It was short; only a half day trip, nevertheless I couldn't be thankful more for the beautiful time we spent together as #FiqSchaYam.

It was November back then when my favorite senior in law school, Kak Khairunnisa who I dearly call as Kak Krun, had her first graduation. It was for her LLB, and this year for her LLBS, we will be graduating together in the same graduation ceremony, as I will be graduating as a LLB as well. Nevertheless, the past November was for her LLB, and I was super happy to see her prettily in the robe that suited she really well. She had been a very nice and amazing senior of mine, from my first day in matric, all the way until I am in my final year LLB. In fact, she is willing to help me for my LLBS as well, though it is yet to begin. Only ALLAH knows how much this lady has helped me with, which me myself cannot afford to pay all her kindness. May ALLAH bless her with everything she wants in her life. Aamiin. Congrats, akak! :3

And the last month of the year came. December. It indeed brought a lot of things as closing of 2016. On 1st and 2nd day of December, I had two trials to attend, in a row. 1/12 was my last trial for Civil Procedure II, as a final year student. The next day, we were up for Criminal Procedure's mock trial, which both had been done successfully, I guess. And I am very thankful for being blessed with good group members throughout this last semester of LLB in IIUM.

Next, Aisya Medina bt Mustaqim, Nadia Amilin's newborn baby came to the world on 5th, and she is the living proof that you can be really strong in facing things, when being strong is the only option you have. #FiqSchaYam have known some of the stories of Nadia, a very close friend of ours since our school days, struggling with her life as a Medic student as well as a young wife, and the eldest daughter to a big family. She handled her life excellently, and the source of the strength seems to be the little Medina. May you grow up to be a fine, and even stronger lady like your Ibu, Medina sayang!

And December was the most memorable month to me, when Kak Tie left her #AdamMujahid to me, to be taken care of, while she was away with her hubby, BangNaim and our parents to perform umrah. To stabilize my life as a final year final sem student, and to take care of Adam Mujahid who seemed to miss his parents a lot, I struggled a bit.

Luckily, Abang Mat and his family, as well as Mayyah were there as well to assist me, thus I was very grateful. Our bond was also being strengthened, we also learnt a lot of things and lessons together from this matter, and I saw that as blessing in disguise. Cant be thankful enough for all the hikmah that I was allowed to see through.

 There it was, how I spent my 2016. Happiness, with numerous trips to Langkawi. Thrilled with the adventure of life, the lost of Aisyah, and the usual hardships of a student of law school. I would happily remember those things, that taught me many things of life lessons.

For these opportunity to feel all these different feelings, I cannot thank ALLAH enough. He allowed me to experience new things I have not before, and blessed me with His endless rezeki and rahmah.

May 2017 bring a better me, so that I can serve better than the best not only to Him The Almight, but to the people around me as well, insha ALLAH.


Wallahu'alam, wassalam.

Of a #BacheloretteParty and a #BirthdayParty :)

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.

Semasa trip #PercutianGadisOgos 3.0 tuari, kitorang memang ada bincang sesikit nak buat small celebration yang kekononnya #BacheloretteParty untuk senior terchenta kami di MMP, Kak Farah Aisyah Nazim. Sebenarnya zaman sekolah dulu takdela kami semua rapat sangat dengan Kak Farah ni. Scha la yang paling rapat. Tapi oleh kerana kitorang baik dengan Scha, maka dengan Kak Farah sekali kitorang boleh masuk. Makaaa oleh kerana Kak Farah bakal menamatkan zaman bujang pada tengah September ni, kami pun bercadang nak buat celebration #LastFlingBeforeTheRing kekononnya hiks

Plan yang simple, dan oleh kerana kekangan masa (kitorang start plan pada 23/8, 24/8 keluar beli barang untuk benda yang nak buat pada 25/8). Masa yang agak singkat, jadi kami plan nak buat kecil-kecilan sahaja. Tak sempat ooi. Memula cadangnya nak buat di Taman Tengku Anis berdekatan Tg Chat tu, tapi ramai orang sangat kat situ masa kitorang sampai. Ada program menda entah. Jadi last minute change of plan, kitorang ke Taman Bendahara bersebelahan dengan Pantai Timur Hypermarket Pengkalan Chepa.

Oh ya. Oleh sebab 26 Ogos tu birthday Fiq, Yam dan Scha ingat nak sekalikan je. So bgtau kat Fiq nak buat party utk Kak Farah, dan bgtau Kak Farah nak buat party untuk Fiq. Hehe sedangkan nak jalankan sekaligus je :D

Yang kelakarnya, Kak Farah sampai sekali dengan kitorang, maka surprise tak jadi surprise dah la. Jadi beliau la sama-sama menggantung belon di pepokok haha :'D Fiq datang membawa makanan yang kami minta beliau belikan - the infamous Nasi Kak Wook ooyeahh. Nama aje #BacheloretteParty tapi sebagai Kelantanese sejati, wajiblah makan nasi berlauk pagi-pagi macam ni kan :D

Kekonon sebelum makan tu nak suruh Kak Farah bagi tawjihat sikit pada adik-adik yang tak berapa nak mentah ni hiks. Tapi kami terus bersembang sambil makan hingga habis nasi sebungkus :D

Oleh kerana Fiq rushing nak masuk kerja dan Kak Farah rushing nak balik rumah settlekan persiapan majlis, kami bergerak pantas untuk sesi bergambar pula :)

*sengaja pilih gambar yang belon tutup muka Yam sebab nak cover. Tak suka ah duduk tepi kak farah bila bergambar. Wajah beliau berseri benau, dah la orangnya dah memang cantik jelita, lepastu muka berseri-seri macam gantung spotlight, maka jadilah aku ibarat lampu malap di pondok kecil tsk tsk*

Nampak tak belon-belon bentuk bintang dengan belon Happy Birthdayyang Fiq pegang tu? Haaa belon pun ada kisah dia tersendiri. Masa nak beli di Kaison semalam dengan Scha, gigih ambik dua tiga paket belon yang setiap satunya ada 5 pcs. Tapi bila fikir2 balik, kami ambik satu je, campur dengan 1piece belon Happy Birthday. Alkisahnya nak tiup belon ni bukan boleh tiup macam belon biasa. Kena ada pam angin, yang mana baik Scha mahupun Yam, dedua antara kami takde pam tu. Maka Yam pergi beli dekat kedai RM2 je haha dan gigihla pam belon tu. It took me about 5 minutes untuk fill in angin dalam belon bintang tu dan almost 10 minutes untuk belon Happy Birthday tu. Dan kerja-kerja menggantung tu pun bukan mudah ye anak-anak, sebab kami guna angin biasa je, bukan helium,  jadi belon x terapung dan terikat dengan graviti je. Maka kami guna benang dan gantung pada pokok/besi untuk keep the balloons float :'D

 Selepas sesi bergambar, memasing bergegas pulang. Yam dan Scha tersengih lega, sebab semuanya dah selesai walaupun berjalan tak seindah yang dirancang. It was a way more simple than what we imagined. But still it's the thought that counts kan? We made them happy, and we were happy enough for that. Ku beruntung, alhamdulillah. Ku bersyukur, alhamdulillah. Hiks *siku Scha*

Maka,

Kak Farah - selamat melangkah ke alam baru, tanpa meninggalkan jawatan-jawatan lama. Menjadi seorang isteri, tapi masih lagi seorang anak, seorang kakak, seorang teman, dan yang paling utama, seorang hamba. Semoga pernikahan kak menjadikan kak hamba dan manusia yang lebih baik kepada Pencipta dan makhluknya insha ALLAH.

Fiq - selamat menjadi 23. Semoga dalam menunggu hari bermakna untuk kunjung tiba, tidak kita lupa menghargai istimewanya hari-hari biasa. Asalkan kita bersama ecewahhh :D

Dan Scha my dear partner in crime, thank youuuu I love youuuu hehe ;)

Kalian, semoga panjang umur dan sihat tubuh badan, serta dimurahkan rezeki dan gembira sentiasa insha ALLAH.

Yam dan Scha mohon maaf atas segala kekurangan di pihak kami, lepas ni boleh dah padam keinginan nak jadi event planner. Nak gantung belon pun berpeluh dahi :'D

Wallahu'alam, wassalam.

Percutian Gadis Ogos 3.0 - Bukit Keluang, Besut, Terengganu.

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.

Ogos 2016 sudah menjelmakan diri, maka kami bertiga pun dah galak berfikir tahun ni nak ke mana pulak. Officially nya #PercutianGadisOgos ni bermula dua tahun lepas di PCB, Kelantan dan tahun lepas ke Pulau Pinang. Sasarannya nak tawan 1 negeri setiap tahun, jadi kami masih ada banyaaaak negeri untuk ditakluki hehe.

Oleh kerana kekangan masa, tenaga dan harta (ehh :D), maka kami memutuskan nak yang dekat-dekat je. Memula nak ke Ipoh, Perak, tapi masa tak banyak. Scha cuti kejap je sebab beliau baru habis shortsem manakala Fiq tak boleh nak cuti lelama. Dan Yam pula selaku penganggur terhormat untuk bulan ketiga hanya mengharapkan belas ihsan mak dan ayah :'D

Maka Yam pun paksa budak dua orang tu turuti kemahuan Yam yang nak sangat ke Bukit Keluang. Famous nau bukit ni. Ramai kekawan yang dah pergi. Hiking, lepastu boleh berkelah. Seronok kan? So selepas plan dengan bebudak ni dan ajak bebudak Maahad, kami kami pun bertolaklah ke Bukit Keluang, Besut, Terengganu dengan buah kereta. #FiqSchaYam (#FSY) satu kereta, satu lagi geng #ChemicallyBondTogether (#CBT) satu kereta.

Maka, pada pagi 23 Ogos, Yam gerak dari Pasir Mas jam 7 pagi lebih. Ingatkan nak bekal mi goreng je pagi tu. Tapi mak sangat gigih dan baik hati serta dermawan nak buat makaroni bakar. Dengan sukacitanya Yam menerima hehe. Lepastu gi jemput Scha dan Fiq, kemudian barulah kami bergerak ke Bukit Keluang. Kami pilih untuk melalui jalan Tok Bali, instead of Pasir Puteh. Maka dari Kubang Kerian, kami lalu Jelawat, Tok Bali dan terus ke Perupok tanpa perlu lalu bandar Pasir Puteh, dan masuk ke Besut. Dari Kubang Kerian kami follow signboard Kuala Terengganu. Bila dah masuk Besut, kami cari Kuala Besut dan kemudiannya akan ada signboard Bukit Keluang. Oleh kerana Bukit Keluang ni lokasi tarikan pelancongan, maka signboardnya warna coklat lantas lebih mudah dilihat dan dikesan. Kalau tak jumpa signboard Bukit Keluang, follow je dulu signboard Kg Raja. Dah dekat dengan Bukit Keluang tu,

Nanti akan jumpa IPG Sultan Mizan dan Imtiyaz Terengganu di sebelah kanan, juga MRSM Kota Putra di sebelah kiri. Dari situ dah boleh jumpa signboard Bukit Keluang, jadi ikut je la ye :)

#FSY sampai dulu di lokasi, maka sempatlah bergelak ketawa sambil sarapan di tepi pantai. Janjinya nak sampai awal pagi, konon tak nak sampai puncak masa tengah hari. Tapi sampai sana pun dah 9 am, so.... haha.

Masa kami sampai tu, dah ramai dah jugak yang dah turun ke bawah. Means ramai je yang mendaki awal pagi, mungkin subuh dan sunrise di atas, kemudian turun bila dah cerah. And yes, mostly boys la. Takpe brader-brader, silakanlah. Kitorang gegirls yang jalan tanpa mahram ni kenalah naik pada a broad daylight hehe :)

#CBT tiba dan kami berbincang sikit. Nak naik ikut jalan mana. Laluan naik dan turun boleh jadi berbeza. Oleh sebab kami dah parking tepi Pantai Bukit Keluang ni, maka kami memutuskan untuk naik je dari belah sini, meskipun kami tahu laluannya lebih mencabar dan memakan masa yang lama untuk sampai ke puncak. Tapi sama je. Kalau naik dari belah belakang bukit, lebih cepat sampai ke puncak tapi lebih lama untuk turun lepas tu. So, dengan lafaz basmalah dan doa, kami bertujuh memulakan pendakian.

Anak-anak tangga masa memula tu sangat curam. Termengah kami naik, meski tak sampai pun dua minit. Laluan mendaki lepas tu agak mencabar, tapi tali ada disediakan. Jadi, bolehlah berpaut dan berpegang. Kitorang tak rushing ke apa, so memang ambil masa yang secukupnya untuk berehat kalau penat. Dan oleh kerana laluan yang kami naik ni merupakan laluan biasanya orang turun (sebab biasanya pendakian dimulai dari sebelah belakang bukit), kami kena selalu berhenti untuk bagi laluan pada orang yang nak turun. Jadi, banyak kali jugaklah berhenti.

Lebih kurang 20 minit pendakian, rasanya kami sampai di pitstop pertama. Katanya kat sini ada 3 major pitstops. Pitstop pertama ialah bila dah boleh nampak dengan jelas sebuah pulau tak jauh daripada bukit yang berbentuk seperti ikan paus.

Kan nampak jelas kan macam ikan paus hehe so comel. Teruskan pendakian dalam 10-20 minit pun akan nampak pulau ni, dengan view yang lebih jelas.

Pitstop kedua rasanya ialah apabila berada di satu kawasan lapang yang kalau dongak sikit, boleh nampak puncak Bukit Keluang dar jauhhh.

Dari sini rasa macam.... am I really going there? Boleh ke nak sampai sana... Like, seriously? Sebab dah mulai rasa penat, mengah, dahaga, lapar dan sebagainya haha. Takpe. Keep calm dan teruskan pendakian :)

Rilek rilek, santai-santai sambil borak sikit2 dengan kekawan, catching up stories. Tapi jangan kencang sangat sembanganya. Selain akhlak kena pelihara, kena juga jaga pernafasan. Lebih cakap lebih gelak, penat je engko dapat.

Dan, tadaaaaaa dah sampai ke puncak!

Cemana engko nak tahu itu puncak? Bila laluannya dah ada rel macam ni, pastu nanti sikit lagi jalan kau akan jumpa signboard yang tunjuk directions macam-macam tempat tu.

Haaa itulah puncak. Kat sini ada pondok untu lepaskan lelah. Tapi makin lelah Yam tengok sebab ada sampah. Tsk tsk sedih tau bila kononnya nak tadabbur alam tapi pegi buang sampah merata-rata kat puncak bukit nu. Gigih nauu.

Taraaaaa sakan kitorang bergambar kat sini. Sampai kena tenung dengan orang lain sebab lama sangat, sampai diorang nak bergambar pun tak boleh haha. Lek aa, hentah bila pulak boleh tangkap gambar kat sini. And the view was... incredibly amazing!

Lebih setengah jam kot lepak kat atas ni. Habiskan lelah je dah 15 minit, pastu bergambar la selfie la wefie la video a hahaha so perempuan! :D Lepas puas tu baru kami slow-slow turun.

Bila difikirkan balik, jalan turun yang belah ni pun boleh tahan jugak curamnya.

Cuma mungkin sekejap sebab lagi dekat dengan puncak. Jadi dalam 20-25 minit je kitorang turun. Tu pun lepak agak lama dekat pondok yang disediakan tengah-tengah laluan tu, dan yea, bergambar dalam hutan tuuu :D

Maka alhamdulillah selamat tiba di bawah yeayyyy

[TIPS NAK HIKING : Akak ni bukan frequent hiker pun. Tapi just in case this may help, selain sunblock, shade dan air minuman untuk korang bawak sekali, afdhal la kalau bawak tisu, gula-gula/coklat dan kalau Yam, yam bawak kipas tangan tu sebab bila mendaki masa matahari tengah nak naik ni, hangat dia lain macam. Jadi, kipas tangan ni membantu untuk cool down bila rasa haba mencucuk-cucuk pipi dan naik sampai ke kepala. Ye ye ]

Kami kenmain gembira sebab dah sampai bawah. Tapi kemudian baru sedar yang kereta kami ada kat belah pantai, so kena jalan menuju ke kereta maka tak boleh nak gembira sangat sebab kena jalan lagiii. But still, daripada kena turun bukit ikut laluan naik yang curam tu, kami rela jalan dalam lebih kurang 1 km ke kereta dalam keadaan rata haha. Masa ni lah jalan rileks-rileks, tenang tak mengah dan catch up good stories dengan dear friends.

Sampai di kereta, kami drive menuju ke kawasan pantai yang banyak pokok untuk aktiviti seterusnya : piknik! Oo yeahhh

Im #CBT yang power siap masak ayam masak merah dengan acar lagi. Pastu ada kimbap. Pastu Nik #CBT bawak sandwich dengan jejemput kentang. Tambah dengan mi goreng dan makaroni bakar Yam bawak tuuu maka kami nikmati lunch kami dengan begitu senang hati. Lazzzzzat ooi

Lepas makan, maka bertebaranlah kami di Besut untuk mencari penginapan. Takmau yang memahal, kerana sedar diri bahawa kami masih student marhaen lagi. So bajet dalam RM150/room je. Cari punya cari, ada la  a few. Kalau area Bukit Keluang tu ada Bukit Keluang Beach Resort. Dekat dengan Bukit Keluang, cuma agak standard sikit, maka kami takut overbudget. Dan tak cukup dekat dengan pantai hewhew. Jadi kami cari jauh sikit daripada kawasan Bukit Keluang, lalu jumpalah kami dengan beberapa hotel lain - Manor, Demong dan Kem Damai. Tanjung Demong dan Kem Damai punya harga masih dalam kemampuan kami, tapi Manor macam agak mahal sikit sebab dia nampak eksklusif nau. Dan kami akhirnya memilih Kem Damai sebab boleh check in dan dan tu jugak (masa tu dalam pukul 2pm), sementelah Tg Demong hanya boleh check in lepas pukul 3. Kami bayar RM 110 untuk bilik yang ada 3 katil single.

Masuk bilik, rehat kejap pastu mandi dan solat, lepastu tidurrrr. Hahaha cas tenaga yang hilang kononnya, untuk jenjalan petangnya pulak di pekan Besut. Dan kami keluar lepas Asar menuju ke jeti Kuala Besut sebab view dia daripada atas jambatan nampak lawa dengan banyaknya bot di tepi jeti. Kami cuma sempat singgah sekejap je di Dataran Kuala Besut tu, sebab hujan mulai turun. Dalam renyai, kami redah jugak ke Pantai Air Tawar yang memang on the way nak balik ke resort kami. Kami dinner di Nasi Air Pak Awies di Pantai Air Tawar yang nasi airnya memang terbaik. RM5/mangkuk yang penuh dengan isi daging, paru lembu dan ikan bilis. Sedappp.

Alhamdulillah, hujan dan berhenti jadi sempat bermain di pesisiran Pantai Air Tawar. Tapi sebab dah nak menjelang Maghrib, kami pulang ke resort. Mandi, solat dan belek telefon yang penuh dengan beratus-ratus gambar sepanjang aktiviti hari ni :D Kami kemas sikit2 sebelum tidur sebab esok pagi dah nak bertolak balik.

Esoknya, lepas bersiap dan kemas barang, Yam drive ke tepi pantai. Sebenarnya boleh je jalan, tapi sunyi lagi masa tu so kami naik kereta. Daripada kereta tu dah nampak matahari tengah lawa nak sunrise, so berlari lah nak tangkap gambar lawaaaa. Alhamdulillah sempat yeayyy

Lepas wefie #FiqSchaYam berpuluh-puluh keping, kami pun berkejar nak check out sebab nak kena balik cepat, Fiq kena masuk kerja dah. Dan masih tak lupa plan nak singgah makan nasi dagang dekat kedai sebelum Jambatan Kuala Besut tuu aherherher

Singgah makan dekat kedai tu, kedai tu warung yang agak besar. Kalau dari arah Kuala Terengganu ni, dia menuju ke jambatan Kuala Besut tu, warung ni belah kanan. Kami dimaklumkan nasi dagang cuma ada pada hujung minggu je, so kami makan nasi putih dengan gulai ikan. Murah sangatttt. Makan 3 orang, sekali dengan air RM10.90 sahaja ooi. Dan lepas tu kami meneruskan perjalanan balik. Hantar Fiq dulu kemudian hantar Scha, dan barulah Yam pulang ke rumah.

Maka berakhirlah trip #PercutianGadisOgos tahun ni. Short but sweet, I shall say. Banyak sangat yang kami boleh pelajari daripada trip kali ni. Semoga tak lupa dan alpa pada setiap mesej yang tersirat :)


Jadi, trip kali ni kurang mencabar sikit kalau nak banding dengan trip Penang tahun lepas. Duit tak banyak habis (cuma pada resort dan duit minyak. Makan pun tak habis banyak, sebab dua kali je). Time management pun takde masalah, sebab tentatif tak padat dengan tempat2 untuk dilawati. Transportation tak kena risau sebab ada kereta, jadi mudah nak ke sana ke mari. So trip kali ni lebih rileks dan santai :) Bajet kami tak sampai seratus pun sorang. Adalah dalam RM50-60 kot, secara asasnya. Dan takde cenderamata apa pun, sekadar kenangan yang bakal menjadi ingatan ecewah :D

***

"Banyak-banyak anak panah ni, takde satu pun yang tunjuk jalan nak tuju ke hati awak.' #SisCuba ;)

Fiq dan Scha, terima kasih. For the time. For the moments. For everything. 7 years, and going strong insha ALLAH :)

Tahun depan kita punya tema, Back to City okeyyy :)


Wallahu'alam, wassalam.

La Kitty Cafe Kubang Kerian : Kafe Hello Kitty Pertama di Kelate Ooyeahh :D

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.

Cerita lama sangat dah niiii tapi baru berpeluang nak menukilkan di dalam blog ecewah. Cerita 10 Julai lepas bersamaan dengan hari Ahad, 5 Syawal 1437H.

Dekat Kelantan, hari Ahad tu tak cuti. So dah start sekolah. Dan kebetulannya pada hari yang sama merupakan Hari Ramah Mesra Mahasiswa sempena Aidilfitri di Kediaman Rasmi Menteri Besar. It was a last minute plan, sebab kami tak plan awal-awal pun nak ke majlis ni. Jadi kitorang keluar lambat, dan sampai lambat ke majlis dan, yeah - perkara yang paling kami takuti, akhirnya benar-benar terjadi - MAKANAN HABIS!

So we went here and there, tapi tak jumpa tempat yang sesuai nak makan. AEON Mall takde parking, Sup Lido orang ramai beratur sampai ke jalan, Nasi Ulam Cikgu belum beroperasi lagi. So, where shall we go?

Gigih kami #FiqSchaYam fikir nak makan apa dan kat mana. Yam pun dengan lantangnya menyuarakan niat di hati nak ke Hello Kitty Cafe, tapi perut lapar amat sangat dah. Jadi kami memutuskan untuk ke bandar Kubang Kerian dahulu dan Fiq selaku orang Kubang Kerian mencadangkan Nasi Kak Wook bersebelahan Mydin. Lepastu barulah kami ke La Kitty Cafe ni untuk dessert gituu ecewah.

Kami parking depan Jakel, dan lepas makan nasi Kak Wook tu kami jalan je ke La Kitty Cafe tu. Kafe ni terletak betul2 depan HUSM Kubang Kerian, kiranya tepi jalan jugaklah. Satu lajuran dengan Muaz Textile yang baru dibuka. Dan oh ya, kafe ni terletak di tingkat dua ya anak-anak. Maka kena naik tangga ya anak-anakkk.

Yammm kenmain dah excited yang amat bila dongakkan kepala. It was a way tooooo comel to handle, even by a Hello Kitty freak like me. Comelnyaaaaaa kan kan kannn

And even the stairs to the cafe pun well designated. Insha ALLAH once u spot the building, you can easily find your way there. Cumanya kena lilau-lilau sikitlah untuk trace signboard kafe ni, sebab yalah, dia kat tingkat 2 kan. Kena dongak sikiiit.

Tadaaaaa ni entrance dia. Niceeeee kan. Tak sabar nak masuuuuuk. And sebab hari ni dah hari bekerja dan mungkin kerana masih mood raya, kafe agak lengang. Out of all the tables, cuma satu yang ada customer. A family with two daughters. I can tell that the daughters love Hello Kitty, sebab dorg bawak beg comel Hello Kitty ohh so comellll

So we chose the seat dan diberi menu. Not so many on the menu, but dia ada yang direkomenkan by the cafe. Contohnya green tea dan nasi lemak kitty. Not so many, but so special la kot. Tapi sebab kitorg masih kenyang dengan Nasi Kak Wook and were only looking for dessert, so kitorg cuma order waffle, green tea dan Fiq nak try vanilla latte sebab nakkan kopi yang dia bulih lukis muka Hello Kitty on top of the coffee tu. So yeah :D

Sementara menunggu pesanan tiba, apa lagi la - pusing around la kan. Plus takde orang sangat, maka bebaslah tiga makhluk ini berkeliaran di sekitar kafe :D It was a nice ambience, cuma sunyi sikit and lighting mungkin boleh di-enhancekan. Tak nak bagi nampak suram sangat :D

Ruang kafe agak luas la. Standard. Takdelah luas sangat sebenarnya kot, mungkin sebab some bareness on the wall lagi. On one side of the wall penuh dengan gambar Hello Kitty yang diletakkan dalam frame juga newspaper report pasal this cafe.

Newspaper report pasal kafe ni boleh dibaca di sini : ( Sinar Harian dan Kosmo )

Oh yes, owner dia is a 28-old-male medical practitioner yaaaa. Oh myyyy jelesnyaaa :D Dan on another side of the wall ada la few Hello Kitty stickers dan accessories, but I believe the more the merrier :)

Frankly talking, mungkin perlukan banyak lagi aksesori Hello Kitty to brighten up the place. It was good, but can be improved, perhaps. Atau mungkin the owner was still working on it kot, sbb he did mention in the newspaper report tu yang all the merchandises Hello Kitty ni dia punya private collection, locally and globally. So yeah, mungkin akan bertambah dari semasa ke semasa la kot.

Seriously bila fikir balik, sebenarnya agak lambat jugak order sampai. Green tea je cepat, tapi waffle dan kopi lambat. Sempatlah main congkak seround dua nak tunggu sampai order. Kopi Fiq tu sebab the waiter memang cakap, susu takde, baru nak gi beli. So we expected that. Cuma the waffle pun sampai quite a lot later than the green tea. Dan lepas habis makan waffle then only kopi sampai. Hampir nak cancel dah kopi tu tapi Fiq beriya nak. So we just waited.

The waffle was good. So the coffee and tea. Okeylah. Cuma mungkin servis perlu lebih pantas lepas ni. And we were being nice enough kot, sabar je menunggu order, sedangkan customer tak ramai kot masa tu (kalau nak kata busy ke tak menang tangan ke kan).

Oh yes, ada jugak disediakan Hello Kitty dolls untuk korang bergambar. So just take them from the bench and tangkap gambar ye. Memang fungsi doll tu untuk bergambar :D But the fact that you didnt know how many times it had been hugged before, by how many people.... :'D

So lepas habiskan kopi, time to bayar and balik la kan....

Kaunter dia, even the pengelap kaki pun lawaaaa omg omg haha

See what I'm, holding? Tu nama dia La Kitty Cafe card. Setiap pembelian RM10 akan dapat satu cop. Bring the card for the next visit and receive the stamp. Collect 10 stamps and korang akan dapat a cup of free coffee. Kiranya salah satu strategi jugaklah, untuk menggalakkan pelanggan kembali ke kedai ni. Bagus bagusss :)

All in all, it was fun. For a leisure visit, pergi time takde orang. So you can take pic as many as you want tanpa rasa malu ataupun segan. The workers were nice, and there was even the manager there. So kalau tak puas hati apa-apa, luahkan terus je. Kitorang hari tu tak luahkan sebab the manager/owner himself yang keluar beli susu haha

Insha ALLAH akan berkunjung ke sini lagi. Maybe to try heavy meal, tapi harapnya tak kena menunggu lama. Iols ni kalau lapar, pastu kena tunggu lama pulak - memangle. Mencabar kesabaran tu nama diaaaa.

So thanks for these two ketul Scha and Fiq for accompanying me. And you guys, thanks for reading! :)

I mean no offence for all the comments. This is based on my experience, which might be differed from yours. Share yours as well, so I can know better perhaps. Thank you!

Wallahu'alam, wassalam.
