Assalamualaikum

Me and my father, we don’t have the best relationship. We clashed a lot. I pun tak faham kenape asyik nak gaduh je -.- Tapi, biasalah kehidupan, bila depan mata, we take things for granted, it was only after we lose that something/someone we began to realise their significance. 

When I was younger, I never understood why we argued so much, and why only me? My siblings had no problem, why I was the only one who had to be petty and nitpicked every little things. Is it a first time father and a first born thing? I mean, I have other first born friends who's in a similar situation, particularly if the father is strict.

Now that I am older, I finally understood why. We’re too similar. I am the exact replica of Abah and unfortunately, similar personality clashes. I understand him now. I understand his feeling, I understand why he did what he did, I understand why he was him as much as I understand why I am me.

Now all I have is regret. I should have understand him sooner. Life would be so much better if we got along better.

***

I’ve been dreaming a lot about him lately. In my dream, he is well and healthy. We’re good too. Weirdly enough, whenever I dream of him, it always seems real. You know how most of the time, when you’re in the dream you sort of know you’re dreaming? Or is it only me? Sometimes there is even a door in my dream and if I don’t like a dream, I'll use the door to go somewhere else? No? Is it just me haha? Anyway, most of the time, I know I was dreaming, but when i dream of him, it always feel so real, I don’t even find it weird that he’s alive and healthy. The me in the dream don’t know that he’s gone.

Is this really how it feels to miss someone?


Al-fatihah (read) to my dear Abah.

[Disclaimer: I rarely write about current issues in this blog because I feel that in each of those moment, there were/are so much information and opinions being said so me writing my limited uninformed opinions would just be another noise in an already crowded discussion board. However, too many things are happening at once, I wanted to remember the impact it has on me. That's what I 'll be focusing on in this post. I am in no way trying to belittle others suffering by being so delusional to think that only I matter, because the truth it, everyone matter. The threat is real, the sacrifices made by frontliners, victims, families and the general public are real. I pray that we all stay healthy and strong to go through this trying time but I won't be writing further on that because like I said, you can get those informations and opinions from others who talk more about it, professionals who are more well verse on the issue than me]

Assalamualaikum

When I move out from my mom's and attempted to live alone, the respond I received were either "tak takut ke?" or "tak sunyi ke?" to which I replied "tak lah, ok je,". I am an introvert who always need to be alone to recharge so living by myself is perfect for me, and it helps that I am a major home person so I don't forsee any issue if I were to be stuck at home for days.

Or so I thought.

Several days ago, our PM gave the restriction movement order so now we all have to work from home. Initially, besides concern on productivity, I don't have any other problem because, yeay, no need to leave the house. 5 days in, I miss office. haha. As it turns out, I can only survive living alone if I have my daily doses of human interaction, ie gossiping with my colleagues. Those simple and minimal interactions that I took for granted, turns out to be essential to my survival. In just two days, I gave up and am now at my mom's permanently till this RMO ends whenever it might be. In the end, I traded my own health over my plants health -.-"

 Apa khabar lah awak2 dekat rumah sana?

 Even at my mom's, I am now constantly fidgeting trying to find things to do, homebody lah sangat kan. My friend Alya, she's a proud homebody too but even she was like, "tak syok gak kan bila kene paksa WFH," This whole experience makes me wonder on this whole identity that I thought was me but is it really? Am I not a homebody? Do I like malls so much that I miss OU? Or do I just love to rebel and would simply want to break order when it's given? I wonder.

***

There are lots of posts appreciating the struggles of moms with young children who has to keep a house,  entertain the children and at the same time work from home. While I salute them, I also want to take this opportunity to appreciate moms with adult children who's now at home, playing with computers all day long (read: LLB while WFH), menghabiskan beras, mendugong menternak lemak, while adding clothes to the laundry, I salute your patient. =P

STAYING AT HOME SITUATION

Assalamualaikum

For Emak's birthday this year, we decided to go to Sungkai to experience the famous Felda Hot Spring. Emak loves secluded kampung area and hot springs, so she loves the idea. She was very excited. She woke everyone up early in the morning and demanded us to get ready. Of course we didn't listen haha. I mean, we live in Rawang so Sungkai is like, sekangkang kera je and we can only checked in at 3 pm so to our lazy self logic, "nak buat ape lama2 kat Sungkai?". After a lot of negotiation, we leave the house at 10am. Even that is too early for me. If it were up to me, i'll leave at 12pm and reach just in time for lunch :P

Nasi Bamboo Sungai Klah


If I'm being honest, I was skeptical. Normally, all this viral and famous places are only "indah khabar dari rasa," but this one, at least for the dishes that we took, they were good. (Disclaimer: I am not a picky eater and quite easy to please). My favourite was the daging masak kicap kot nama dia, that's the best for me, although to everyone in my family, it's on the saltier side. You can't blame a girl for liking kicap :P

Ya memang ramai orang sebegini ya
How to go about the restaurant:
1. Find a seat first.
2. Queue for food. There are multiple stations. The grill section, the lauk section, and the rice section. Nak cepat, divide and conquer, apa guna adik ramai2 :P.
3. Kalau ada adik lebih lagi, suruh beratur dekat tempat air pulak. Air boleh beli dalam jug atau individual cup.
4. Kalau anda anak sulung, sit back and enjoyyy.

Felda Residence Hot Spring

When I wanted to book a villa back in July, the villas were all fully booked till December. So dah alang-alang, I booked it on February terus for Emak's birthday....but when we arrived, a lot of the villas were empty? Not sure why in the website it's fully booked though.

Our villa comes with a private outdoor jacuzzi, which we love, but in the morning, while we were driving around the area, we saw this one villa with the jacuzzi right in the middle of the house rather than outside, damn that's cooler! (Other people's thing always look better -__________-)

There is two big pools in the area. One is the hot water and the other is cold water.

This is the cold water pool. Why no picture of the hot one you asked, it's hot, of course you won't find me there.

 There is this area called Laman Terapi. The path is made out of small pebbles, the one that Faiz stepped on in the picture. Of course, you won't find me here either, it's so painful for a person with low pain tolerance like me. -______-

You could boil eggs in the hot spring too if you don't mind right beside this, orang tengah celup celup kaki

Speaking of celup-celup kaki, I have this small foot corn in between my toes, I had it since Redang which is like one year plus ago, I am not so sure what is the science behind it, because I celup my kaki a lot in the hot water around the area, it fall off guys!!! I no longer has the foot corn! Now my feet is smooth like a baby. gittew.

***

No wifi turns out to be a blessing in disguise. All we did that two days in Sungkai were talking. All of us would just gather at the jacuzzi, berendam or celup2 kaki je, and talk. I remember feeling really peaceful and happy during the trip. Something that I don't realise until the trip, with the existence of wifi, we could all be at the same space but not communicating to one another. Back at home for example, though all of us were in the living room, Me and Dikyah would be on our ipads watching k-dramas or variety shows, Faiz would play games on his phone, Emak would be on her phone too, browsing facebook and replying to her group whatsapp and Farid, he'll be watching the tv. None of us talk! -__________-

Of course as soon as we get back, we resume our normal routine, unfortunately, vacation mood doesn't last very long lol, but it's still nice to take a pause, once in a while, and just chill, with each other.  I guess this is me saying, geng, nak pergi mana pulak lepas ni?

EMAK'S BIRTHDAY TRIP

Sunday, March 8, 2020

Assalamualaikum

Our second stop of the day was,

Farm Tomita 
Open daily 8.30am to 6pm (summer)
Entry fee: None!
Map code: 349 276 804*00
p/s: All photos are unedited (except for grid) because I am a lazy blogger :'P
More flowers!!! haha. This is where Faiz started to complain "dah dah la kot tengok bunga. Instagram feed Faiz asyik bunga jeeee," #priority.

Although they all look the same to Faiz -____-, Farm Tomita is different because the main theme here is lavender,

Don't judge >.< we're not the only one who took this kind of shot lol. Almost everyone ran to the lavender field from the ice cream shop to take this kind of pictures, everyone was so kepoh it's hillarious plus it didn't help that these ice creams melt easily so you have to be fast and efficient. All in all, these ice creams served their intended purpose that day, for instagram lol -______- The taste? Like lavender. haha. One thing for sure, after you eat them, your breath will smell nice =P

Honestly, I like Farm Tomita better than Shikisai No Oka. Tomita is cosier. There is a lot of trees and benches that you could sit on and just chill and relax whereas Shikisai No Oka, it's a huge flower farm without any shade. So kalau panas, memang terbakar lah anda disitu. Plus, there is a lot of restaurants, cafes and souvenir shops around here that you can check out.

That's all for now, till the next post. <3

HOKKAIDO 2019 (SUMMER) - DAY 2 BIEI AND FURANO [part 2]

Friday, February 7, 2020


Assalamualaikum

I like now....the era we're currently living in. I love that we can do a lot of things online, from internet banking, shopping, applying for jobs, connecting with friends, buying movie tickets, listening to books, we can even pay for our parking from our phone, how convenient is that? No more gores gores bulatan guna duit syiling. Gone were also the days where we can only get TAC from the ATM. 

I wish everything can go digital.


However, today, Emak made me think deep into this. Emak called me today to ask me to pay her Majlis Daerah Kuala Selangor's parking fine. She was fined though she parked only for a short while. Since she rarely go to Kuala Selangor, she didn't want to go through the hassle of finding the parking booklet so she just leave it be. I was like,

"Laaaaaa, kenape tak bayar parking guna apps (Flexi Parking in case you also don't know). Kan hari tu dah ajar,"

and Emak was like,"Alaaaaa mana la reti,"

Mana la reti. These words, they carry a lot more meanings than the attention they were given. I started to look back on a lot of other things that for me, are convenient, but are actually tough to people without digital literacy. For starter, to this day, we still help Emak with anything related to internet banking, we help her pay for stuff, transfer money to someone, we help her check her account and many more. In the beginning, when we first set up her online banking profile, since I was away most of the time (I worked in KL, they were in Sarawak), I wrote them step-by-step on how to navigate the site, how to log in, where to click, everything. Even then, she couldn't do it. She find it easier to just go to the bank or to call me and ask me to do it -_____-.

On a different occasion, Kak Ila's relative once asked in the family whatsapp group,
"Siapa ada nombor orang grab, nak tempah pergi xxx,"

T-T

That was just the basic. How about other stuffs we have now, like e-wallet and QR pay for example. Worst, PayDirect. How can you teach a person, that has been living just fine with the way things are, to use all those apps? Think for a moment, what if, one day, they abolished the whole traditional parking ticket and they told everyone that they'll only be accepting payment using the Flexi Parking apps. How can people like my mother survive? :( 

I guess, the whole point of this post is, let's all think:

1. Is it wise to go fully digital?
2. When can we go fully digital?
3. Is it wise to abolish the whole "tambah nilai" system on the toll booth? #tibe

Till then, let's all link our parents car to our own Flexi Parking account.

THE DIGITAL WORLD

Trip Vlog > HOKKAIDO 2019 (SUMMER) - TRAVELOGUE

[Warning: all pictures are unedited because I've reached this level of laziness]

Assalamualaikum

A friend recently asked me, "tergamak you pergi Jepun time summer? kan panas gilaaa,". Tokyo yes, memang boleh terbakar dekat situ, but not Hokkaido...I mean, have you seen my vlog? My scarf was really happy flipping all over the place. The temperature averages from 10-15 degree Celsius, the wind keeps blowing, it rained in some of the days, sejuk gilos okay. I can't believe it was summer. I kept thinking, if this is how it's like during summer, no wonder the area becomes a ski resorts in winter.

So when I proposed Hokkaido to my family, they were like, "ada ape dekat Hokkaido musim2 panas ni?" haaaaaa, this is what people came to Hokkaido for,

I wish I edited this to bring out the colours but lazy > editing
Our first stop of the day was,

Shikisai No Oka 
Open daily 9am to 6pm (summer)
Entry fee: Compulsory donation of 200 yen per person 
Map code: 349 701 188*52 


We took the buggies to explore places. The decision to take the buggies was mine and supported by Emak because I am her favourite child :P but Dik Yah kept telling me off. She's like "500 yen??? Jalan je lahhhh bukan jauh sangat pun," and I was like, I did my research okay. This place is huge, you need the buggies to cover all areas! Little did everyone knows, by research, I really just meant watching Battle Trip. In the episode, the area looks huge, and since they took the buggies, I have to take the buggies too!

Is it a wise decision? Well, not really. -_________- At least not for anyone without any major health issue. The area is huge, sure, but not justifiable with 500 yen. I. couldn't. hear. the. end. of. it. once. Dik. Yah. started. to. bebel.



***

The area is really really pretty....and instagramable too, I really would just post them all on my instagram and I don't think anyone will condemn me for it, why? because it's pretty! But if I am being completely honest, this is all staged-pretty. I mean, it's not something natural? It's something arranged my human. I am okay with that I enjoyed my time there but just manage your expectation is all I'm saying okay? <3

HOKKAIDO 2019 (SUMMER) - DAY 2 BIEI AND FURANO [part 1]

Wednesday, December 11, 2019

Assalamualaikum


Before the trip, I googled on what to expect at the airport during summer. Several bloggers mentioned that it will be packed and we should expect long queue at the immigration. With that in mind, I set the appointment to pick up our rental car at around 11 am though we landed at 8.25 am. I thought I was a genius for anticipating the unexpected. Little did I know, 1. There was just us and one other plane arriving from somewhere else that morning and 2. Japanese are super efficient everything was fast and smooth.The whole admission process (immigration plus luggage pickup) was settled by 9 am.

Lalu berlemau lemauan lah kami di airport -_______-

***

Our car rental process is also quite a story. When I booked the car, I thought I was really clever and lucky. I mean, RM745 for 6 days that's a steal! It was not until packing time did I realised, I booked a compact car for the 4 of us, for a 6 days trip! I mean, where are we going to put our luggages? So for the 6 days trip, I forced everyone to bring only 20" luggage each except for Faiz. He's only allowed 50L backpack -________-


This was how we store our luggage. 2 luggage at the boot and the others were in the middle of the back passengers seat. Faiz and Dikyah had to cramp with the luggage lol =P Can't believe we survived!

On another note, I would highly recommend the car rental company "Car Rental Hokkaido" for everyone who's travelling to Hokkaido especially if you're from Malaysia travelling with Airasia. Most of us would booked the early flight out because that's the cheapest but almost all car rental companies open at 9 am. Our initial plan was to return the car the night before and booked a cab to go to the airport the next morning but their staffs were such sweethearts, they offered to open one hour early and send us to the airport. awwwww....and I was like "Can you do that? Is it not too much trouble?" and they were like, "It's okay we always open early for our Malaysian customers. Your flight is at 9.35 am right?," They even know the timing nangis lah camni.

The staffs were really friendly. The one that handled us, she explained how to use the navigation system thoroughly, like how to avoid tolls and all, and how to use japan map code. Before Hokkaido, I have nothing else to compare because that's my first time renting a car in Japan, but after our recent Kyushu trip, I was really really thankful for the girl from Car Rental Hokkaido. The Nippon-rent-a-car that we used in Fukuoka guy didn't even tell us to use map code! He didn't even teach us how to search! He's like this is the navigation, this is menu, this is map this is the route and that's it. If it weren't for my earlier experience driving in Hokkaido, I would have a hard time navigating around Kyushu from his vague explanation!

***

Our first and only stop of the day is Hokuryu sunflower village.

Hokuryu Sunflower Village
Open daily 9am to 6pm
Entry fee: No entry fee for general admission. 
300 yen admission fee for certain sunflower maze
Map code: 179 840 544*03


Of course I have to include Hokuryu in the trip, sunflower is my favourite flower! My mom, she used to decorate the house with fake sunflowers everywhere; on the table, on the top of the aquarium, on the stair rail, my love for sunflowers might have been because of her. I once attempted to grow one but little did I know sunflowers only bloom once and then they die. While this is a completely natural process, my heart can't take it. I find it so sad that an existing flower has to die for a new one to exist. T-T

But I'm a sunflower, a little funny If I were a rose, maybe you'd want me If I could, I'd change overnight I'd turn into something you'd like But I'm a sunflower, a little funny If I were a rose, maybe you'd pick me But I know you don't have a clue This sunflower's waiting for you Waiting for you
Overall, we had a good time strolling around the farm. :)

The struggle is real  -_______-

Trip Vlog > HOKKAIDO 2019 (SUMMER) TRAVELOGUE

Assalamualaikum


First oversea trip with the family! Also my first time being the "organiser". If you've seen the itinerary from my previous trip, it's always either "itinerary prepared by Ayu" or "itinerary prepared by Ain"...almost none were mine because 1. I have serious spending problem so I won't make the trip as budget friendly as it should, 2. I am a lazy traveler so my ideal trip would be just sitting and resting at a spot rather than walking around visiting tourist places.

Staying through to my personality, this is what itinerary prepared by Athirah looks like:

P/S: As usual, amounts stated are for the whole group (the 4 of us) and will be divided at the end to reflect cost per person

It looks like we did a lot right? but if you've been to Hokkaido, you'll know how laid back this itinerary is. We woke up late, everyday we started exploring only after 10 am and we finished everything before dark sebab malas nak sembahyang dekat luar. I haven't change guys don't worry, still a lazy traveler. ='D

HOKKAIDO 2019 (SUMMER) - FULL ITINERARY & BUDGET

Saturday, November 2, 2019


Assalamualaikum


I guess it's official. I like to compile videos more than writing. lol. I finished compiling Hokkaido video! (btw that's what I decided to call myself, a Video Compiler, not an Editor, not a Youtuber, just a Video Compiler.)

***

This trip is a little bit different because this is our first trip abroad as a family! More on that later but for now, enjoy this video that I've compiled. :)

HOKKAIDO 2019 (SUMMER) - TRAVELOGUE

Sunday, August 4, 2019


Assalamualaikum

Farid scolded me when I uploaded his bulat face. Like any other good sister, I now make it my post header :P

1. When I uploaded this photo on Insta story, my friends was like, "asal kau aje warna lain?". -______- In my defense, we weren't supposed to go boria on the first day. If I was informed, I would have said no from the beginning haha. and seriously, this baju wasn't even supposed to be our Raya baju, I wore mine at a friend's wedding! I have photo proof. On the Eid's eve, Emak casually slight in, "esok semua pakai baju ni eh,". What....no no no no no no no no no no no no no. I am usually lalang when it comes to decision making, but boria is a big no for me so this is a firm No (colour coded outfits I don't mind but same colour AND design? no).  I just realised this paragraph makes me sound like a spoil b*** -______-

No I didn't sabotage Emak. She uploaded this photo to her Facebook herself :P
2. This is the first Raya in yearssss that I am finally able to perform Solat sunat Aidilfitri and I wasn't prepared! It was not until that morning that I realised, I left my pretty telekung at home! The one I have at my mother's were all the jersey, melekap dekat muka kind. To make matter worst, one of Emak's friend invited us to go beraya at her house, right after solat! So yeah, that is what I look like, on first day of Eid, beraya-ing at people's houses.


3. Nuar has a a good new camera so yeah, photo session!

4. My family don't talk about real stuff, not out loud anyway. TBH, till this day, we haven't really discuss how it feels like after Abah was gone. Literally no one mention anything....except at Kampung....but even then, it was only Nyayi talking and sometimes crying, talking about Abah and us five will be around her, nodding. Empty nod, not the emotional nodding, not agreeing, and no one, I mean, literally no one add in nor deny anything she said. I think this is unhealthy, us not discussing things, but I dunno I think we're going to stay this way. I don't foresee us change in the future. (Btw, Nyayi has a point. Abah was always the one who made Raya, Raya. I mean, whenever anyone felt lazy to do anything, he'll come with his requests, lemang lah, ketupat lah, rendang lah, bahulu gulung lah, semperit lah, it's annoying when you're lazy but we have to admit, he kept the raya spirit going)

5. I am now at my heaviest. -____________- Didn't even lose any weight during Ramadan sobs sobs. and to make matters worst, I am now addicted to Boba. Like really really addicted. On the way balik kampung, we have to stop by Seremban 2 for The Alley and on the way back home, we stopped by a petrol pump for Tealive and after visiting relatives it was Chatime, and at the office, Slyvia ordered Koi, I haven't stop since. There was no single week goes by without me drinking bubble tea I need help!

6. We decided not to do any open house this year. One, because now I don't live there anymore and two, I think last year, with the addition of Dik Yah's friends, the scale of the open house got too big that by the end of it all, we were all too tired to function. This year, the Todak girls told me to invite them only haha (the open house affects them too because they help), and each of us (me and my siblings), separately, in different times, told Emak not to have an open house this year. Lol. What a bunch of introverts. We still asked people to come over but not open house as in open house style. We have one day for relatives, one day for Emak friends basically anyone who wish to come, they are more than welcome to come. (BTW, next year we might have open house again because now we miss having a lot of people over lol why life has to be so complicated? and to be honest a lot of people are missing Emak's Daging Hitam)

7. I saw this posting on twitter where a daughter was ranting about how her cousins didn't come when they say they would. The mother had prepared a lot of food which in the end went to waste because nobody came T__________T . I hate people. Why are we so mean. T________T I have seen this happen in real life so I know how bad this could hurt a person. I think this should serve as a reminder to us to not take other people's efforts and feelings, lightly. If we promised to come, come. If foods are served, eat. Secret to successful raya. :)

8. I love memenuhi undangan. When I am invited, I would try my best to show up....but friends open houses gets tougher each year as more and more friends got married. Haha. If I didn't have a reason to get married before, friends open houses gave me one. I need a partner to go to people's open house! I went to Dayah's event once, alone, because Ayu couldn't make it and it was awkward. haha. Luckily, one of her friends brought her mother along who also doesn't know anyone there so we sat and chat together :'D I borrowed her idea for my invitations too, now Emak is my plus one. I brought Emak to Del and Amir's open house so problem solved. The only drawback is, I have to return the favour and be Emak plus one for all her other open houses -______-

9. Emak has been treating my house like a show house. Whenever relatives or her friends came, she'll be like, "nak tengok rumah Athirah?" and off we go to my house. -_________- It was definitely not guest ready. I don't have any snacks to offer, no tea or cordial to prepare, nothing. I can only offer mineral water -______________- Luckily, people weren't expecting anyway. They came to just see the house.

10. I had sleepover with the Todak girls on one of the weekends! It was not really a proper sleepover because we were back pretty late and we have to go out really early the next day so yeah, we should have another sleepover.

10. While writing this post, I realised once again, I forget to take pictures of most of the moment. Some was even important moment like that time when I have my first guest at my own house. *slap self*

***
Daniel few weeks after Raya,

"Selamat Hari Raya Athirah!. Suddenly remembered I didn't wish you. Omg, you should post more insta stuff,"

lol. Should I tell him I spam people in my blog?
