Harini kitorang punya iti nak pakai hanbok dress sambil pusing-pusing Bukchon Hanok Village and Changdeokgung Palace. As usual kitorang prepare breakfast dekat rumah to make sure perut dah berlapik. Kalau tak nanti kang tengah jalan kau akan lapar dan susah jugak nak jumpa makanan halal 👀👀

Macam biasa lah dah sampai subway kena selfie satu kaleyyy buat tatapan generasi akan datang 😙💖

Sebaik sahaja turun dari subway, kitorang pun mencarilah kedai Hanboknam ni. Punyalah berpusing mencari kedai ni tak jumpa-jumpa ehehe. Sepanjang mencari tu kedai sekeliling sangatlah lawa and mempunyai design yang unik and kemas. To be honest memang tak terasa lah tersesat lama mencari nya sebab ter amaze dengan kawasan sekeliling. ☝ Satu lagi yang aku boleh highlight is udara sekeliling pun sangat bersih dan segar tanpa pencemaran bau. Yap to me that is reaaaally important. Pergi mana-mana pun kalau bau K.O, memang akan terkesan di hati ecewah 

Shop details

Shop name: Hanboknam

Address: 109 Sogyeok-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul, South Korea

Berapa harga sewa Hanbok dress ni?

Kalau korang guna voucher book yang dapat dari Discover Korea Your Way by Korea Tour Organization tu, akan ada satu page untuk discount for 1 hanbok dress rental by Hanboknam. You should go take that voucher book first, its worth it. Kitorang dapat discount sampai 8,000 kwon off. So total price yang kitorang bayar per dress is 12,000 kwon only. We took that 4 1/2 hour duration to rent so the price actually depends based on duration too. Another one it depends on the theme you choose. Kitorang punya theme ni the cheapest. Ada theme yang aku berkenan tu tapi quite mahei so issokay dah nama pun trip bajet kan 😝😛 

ground floor is coffee shop. nampak tak staircase belah kanan tu?
Yes it is the entrance to go to hanboknam which is situated at upper floor. 

Once dah paid and chose your theme, you will go to upper floor to see many kinds of hanbok dress to choose from. they were arranged according to colors. i found myself rambang mata while choosing mine because yeah i gotta be cool and looking pretty the whole day for the sake of nice pictures 😍

There we go, wearing our own attires, some were in red, pink, mint, purple and orange while me took that turqoise-and-cream-colored one. it reminded me of those time when turqoise color were in trend. everyone was fancying towards making turqoise color into their own wedding, raya dress color theme few years back. 💕

First and foremost, we arrived to this beautiful cultural village named Bukchon Hanok Village was located nearby. You can get in here on foot from Hanboknam. You may take as many ootd pictures as you want but bear in your mind, never make loud noises as there were actually people living in this residence. There were also some guesthouses around as well, I bet the room price per stay is pricey tho looking at its strategic area.


TIPS #1
Rent a hanbok dress if you go here! Baru lah into the mood~

TIPS #2: 
Best travel partners are actually those yang sentiasa ready and sanggup untuk ambilkan gambar you and vice versa :)

After dah cukup 100 gambar dekat Bukchon Hanok Village, then we moved to the next destination, which is Changdeokgung Palace. To reach there you will need to go on foot also. Use your map.

If you are wondering whether is it okay to be wearing hanbok all the way there, then yes it is sangat normal actually. In fact, theres lot of them tourist and locals wearing it to go to palace and other areas. Besides, if you enter the palace while wearing hanbok you won't need to pay for the entrance fees. ✌👋

Capturing moments like this is my fav things to do 👋

"I will buy one of those pretty dresses the next time I come here again" - said me to myself

Pretty isn't it? #TPkitties

Finally we had arrived to the destination. It is not too far tho but obviously i got so dehydrated from all those sweat and respiration processes etc 😅. The only things that came to my mind while arriving is "weh nak beli air". They got shops in there so yupe bring your money also. We just left other unnecessary staffs in storage at Hanboknam.

Recharging nyawa

Lets take a tour around inside 😺 boleh feeling-feeling duduk dalam historical korean drama jugek ehehe

Ailin and me 🙆

Bila dah almost 3 hours wearing this dress taking pictures and so on, my camera battery decided to kong out of sudden. Phew what a moment. I didnt bring extra camera battery so I just used my phone and my friends'. It is crucial actually to bring extra battery. TIPS #3

We had fun! Put today's trip into your itinerary and you won't forget it forever 😄

Lastly, we had our first proper meal of the day which is at Yang Pang Chicken.

To be honest, their ayam goreng and ayam cili is too delicious. To my surprise, sos dia sedap and sangat boleh diterima tekak melayu siam I. We even tapau it back home to eat bila lapar. The price is affordable and worth every penny tho 🙋 One more fact, pakcik kedai tu boleh cakap Melayu tau so jangan main-main HAHA

**
Dia punya makan tu kenyang sampai over kenyang and mabuk lol.

And yes.
Kitorang mengamalkan prinsip makan dekat Korea:

Makanlah puas-puas selagi dekat sini,
nanti dekat Malaysia dah takde 😲

Pakcik tolong ambilkan gambarrr uwu

Bila dah kenyang haruslah walk around to reduce calories after that kan 😜

So we went to Ewha Women's University Shopping Street then. To be honest, I found this shopping street has very affordable price of clothes to buy. You can find every kind of clothes such jackets, sweatshirt, hoodie sweater, dress, socks which everything is actually kinda university students' fashion styles as it was nearby to the uni.

TIPS#4

• Kalau you dah niat nak shopping baju, you dah boleh beli dekat sini few pieces which costs you about 10,000 kwon per clothe only. I actually regretted it a bit that I didn't buy that 1 piece of clothe yang I suka, & sampai sekarang terngiang-ngiang dia #takdejeki
• Ada satu shop yang jual sangat-sangat banyak stokin corak comel, kena cari betul-betul that shop in here. Sebab i think kat tempat lain takde kot yang harga 10,000 kwon for 10+1 (free) socks. 

That's about it for today's iti. Stay tune for my next entry 💖

P:s// I actually did self-brainstorm few tips from time to time to share here uwu what other tips I shall share ya?

Trip Bajet Ke Korea : Tak sah jika tak mencuba Beef Gyro Platter di The Halal Guys kalau ke Itaewon! (Day 4)

Haaaa kemain kan panjang tajuk tu sebab nak bagi highlight sikit point of the day is mencuba makanan halal di Itaewon. Ok cam biasa perjalanan untuk harini :


Activities:
Day 4 Korea : Basically ke Itaewon and shopping sikit-sikit!

• Seoul Central Mosque
• The Halal Guys Restaurant
• Shinsegae Mall
• Namdaemun Market

Harini berjalan lancar seperti biasa. Cumanya sebab exhausted yahamat dari perjalanan semalam, kami bercadang mahu bergerak agak lewat sedikit. Sarapan harini disediakan oleh kawan-kawan aku yang cantik lagi baik hati. Kira-kira jam 11 lebih begitu barulah kami memulakan harini menjamu mata sekeliling. So first place to :

1. Itaewon 

Attraction : a culturally diverse place as there are many foreigners visit this area. They provide variety range of halal restaurants to choose from for Muslims.
Rate : 4/5 

Sepanjang perjalanan menuju ke Seoul Central Mosque tu terdapat banyak restoran makanan halal menjual Arab food like kebab; curry-based food etc. Memang kau akan bau je haruman makanan masing-masing tapi aku mampu bersabar je sebab kitorang rancang nak makan dekat tempat yg di recommended kejap lagi.

Dari rumah dah ready air wudhu' sesiap sebab cadangnya nak solat jamak di masjid ni. Katanya ini satu-satunya masjid yang terdapat di Seoul. 

a) Seoul Central Mosque

Sangat peaceful. 😇💕

b) The Halal Guys restaurant
Rate : 5/5

Menu dia.

Apa yang sedap di The Halal Guys restaurant ni? 

Firstly bila sampai dekat kaunter tu korang boleh pilih nak Sandwiches atau Platter. Lepastu pilih nak size mana satu samada Small (Kecil), Regular (sederhana) atau New York (besaqqq sekali) . Next pilih inti yang korang nak samada chicken, beef gyro ataupun combo. My recommendation, pilih beef gyro; rasa dia macam makan daging kambing gitu sedap and wangi ngat. Kalau tak takkanlah kami boleh pergi sampai 3 kali repeat, aku and ainaa 2 kali repeat ambil Beef Gyro New York Platter??! Size New York ni ibarat ko makan sampai penuh 3/3 bahagian perut ko tahu? And sampai boleh simpan ke pagi esoknya untuk dijadikan sarapan. 👻😜 So worth my money!

Satu set tu dah disertakan sekali dengan air, boleh refill berapa puluh kali ko nak. Kalau nak take away, korang minum air tu sampai habis dulu then pergi refill sebelum blah dari kedai 😝😅👍

Beef Gyro New York Platter  - YOU NEED TO TRY THIS ONE.
Surely takkan lupa keenakannya sampai hari hari seterusnya

Apa yang ada dalam sepinggan Beef Gyro Platter ni?

Nasi macam nasi beriyani separuh plate, beef gyro separuh plate, sos merah, mayonis, salad, tomatoes potong dadu, and satu lagi bentuk pizza tu tak sure lah apa.

Sandwich and Platter

Yang sandwich tu tak ingat isi dia ada apa. Tapi kitorang pilih chicken so bebiasa je rasanya, tak menyengat macam kalau ambil beef gyro punya. 😙😙😆

So perut pun dah kenyang. The rest of the day kitorang just jalan-jalan seluruh Itaewon tu tengok kasut Fila, masuk kedai nak beli blusher ke apa ke. 

Sampailah ke Shinsegae Mall ni yang terletak berdekatan dengan Namdaemun Market. Sempat menyinggah ke Namdaemun Market kejap tengok samada plastik bag yang aku tercicir tu ada tak kat mana-mana kedai yang aku singgah. Tapi malangnya tiada. 👀👀👎 Terpaksa beli baruuuu. Eherher. Aku dah pergi Namdaemun Market pada hari Day 3 ni. 

Ni ke yang dikatakan the golden hour?

terdapat kegirangan di situ dapat apa yang dihajati 💖

Pakai cap dalam mall ni nak dihindari dari sinaran apa?

Okay setakat ni jelah entry untuk Day 4. Schedule nya agak relax sedikit berbanding hari-hari sebelumnya. Stay tuned for next day okay! Some adventures await!~

Medschool {Part 2} : Compilation of Some Pictures During Study Week

This entry is upgraded; picture version of this

Survived Medschool {Part 1} : Study Week Moments entry 😆😄

I just realized that I never put pictures at all in that entry. So here we go: 

A compilation of pictures found during my study week moments :>

Place where I studied for the whole 5 years journey

Earlier during study week, my besfriend who is also instafamous eherher from Negeri Sembilan came visited and me also longing for her doh. Its about 2 years plus we didnt see each other face to face so in that short duration we spent time together- masak, pergi pasar 😚😀, an Island visit 😉, Tasik Pepsi Blue for photoshoot session, went to few restaurants in KT that I recommended such as Nasi Dagang Atas Tol, Restoran KakYah Kuala Ibai etc

Nasi minyak beli dekat kedai sarapan pagi sebelah Shell Kuala Ibai.
Makan dengan lauk yang dimasak malam tadi sebelum berpicnic di Cotton Island ✌❤

Some of pictures I got from my instastory, twitter and some in my personal simpanan ...

Actually most of my pictures gone A DAY before Professional II Exam starts ...! 

Scroll down below to know the cause of it 😓😕 

Our short escape to Permaisuri, Besut; sebab dah muak study setiap hari seminggu. Visited azieni's house, had BBQ that night, had durian feast also *thanksss, went to Pasar Pagi Permaisuri, on the way balik rumah singgah makan Cendol Durian & bought keropok lekor Bayu. It's a durian festive around this time so we also bought a bundle of durian dekat area Pantai Buruk sebab kemaruk much. Honestly tak ingat berapa tapi uoll need to nego habis teruk. Murah kot dapat! Abang tu parangkan sesiap so balik rumah tinggal makan je. Semerbak bau durian kat rumah A4-1 tu HAHA

Sebulan lebih study bermacam-macam gaya dan teknik, initially study group di rumah setiap hari, bilik azie fatin aku ailin. Lepastu bila dah bosan dan tak masuk otak langsung, kengkonon nak carik udara baru, kitorang gi McD, bilik discussion library, bilik rehat perempuan di kampus. 

Study kat McD tbh masuk weh dalam kepalotak. Eventho mula-mula rasa cam mustail tapi tak sangka menjadi. Otak aku lebih 'bergerak' lah. It depends on masing-masing punya cara berbeza kan. U try find yours

Masih segar di ingatan ketika dah masuk surgical based revision session- during orthopaedic time, ya aulo punya lah susah nak ingat balik each of the musculoskeletal anatomy part. Kena revise dari A to Z semula. What is the anatomy part of shoulder, your arm, forearm, hand. What are the muscles, nerve innervation, blood supply and bone within the specific area. Tbh orthopaedic really needs good skills of memorizing. Go with your own method- create mneumonic or whatsoever that could help you in memorizing.

The MOST IMPORTANT part in orthopaedic- as in masuk dalam EXAM (Osce, Short Case, Long Case, Theory)- for me- the innervation part. It is quite tricky. You need to study together with your friends. Let Appley Textbook be your bestfriend. 

Friends that study together, eat together, stay together inshaAllah 👭👭👯👯

THE CAUSE OF MY PICTURES ALL GONE: 

So just a day before pro II starts, my laptop suddenly decided to take its own life. I mean, the harddisk went damaged. I lost all my important notes, pictures etc

But Alhamdulillah lah dia mati sebaik I dah habis study almost 80%? Dugaan jugak lah menggelabah betul waktu nak study untuk malam exam semua terpaksa lah guna phone comel i tu 😆😇





So i think that's all for my Part 2. There are 3 entries coming soon other than Korea's. Stay tune peeps 😻😺

Thanks for reading !
