Hi all.

Assalamualaikum, jumpa lagi dengan aku kan hahah. Now it's 17:17 bersamaan dengan 5:17 petang (saja je nak dramatic sikit) and because the date looks special, I also feel like doing something special. Sekejap je dah sebulan dah aku kat Malaysia ni sebab ticket balik haritu 17 June tapi I did nothing much. Betul la orang cakap masa berjalan sangat laju selaju duit aku keluar hahah.

Dah lepas sebulan ni rasa macam rindu sangat nak balik Oregon, rindu nak jalan malam malam naik kereta dengan Beeha dgn Amalin, rindu buang duit main bowling, rindu nak pergi Ulta (Ulta tau bukan Ulfa) cari makeup baru lipsticks and so on and rindu nak bawak kereta sendiri.

Tadi aku try la sekejap bawak kereta tapi aku rasa mcm I'm not meant to drive a manual car hahah susahnyaaaa. Whatever it is, Happy monthiversary to me and I hope I'll be happy for another month in Malaysia. 🙆

Hi people! welcome back to my page haha.. aku rasa aku ada potential la nak buat youtube video tapi tu nanti la.

So HI!
It's July 8th at 10 plus pm and harini aku nak cerita pasal one of the events yang aku pergi masa last last dekat Oregon sebab tiba tiba je teringat pasal tu. Actually I am having my summer break in Malaysia right now and I got nothing to dho sho I dho this post fhor fhun haha. Tak tau la kenapa tapi asyik rasa bosannnn je kat Malaysia ni haish. Okay let's go back to the event. Event tu Malaysian night sebenarnya and aku memang tak pernah pergi so macam jakun la sikit. Tak banyak pun sikit je. Banyak sebenarnya krisis before pergi event tu ntahla tapi at last pergi la jugak. Nak drive guna kereta sendiri tapi takutla kereta saya tu tak sampai ke Corvallis sebab lepas rosak dekat Portland tu tak pernah la kteorang bawak kereta out of Eugene. Mula mula rasa macam boleh je tapi still ada ragu ragu yang memang tak boleh nak buang.

Dua hari before event tu aku sibuk la cari kereta nak rent la apa semua tapi macam semua susah, underage la mahal la apa la semua laa so last last aku rasa baik bawak je kereta aku tu pastu tawakal la tengah jalan. Tak tau la kenapa tapi aku rasa macam yakin la kalau Amalin okay. Aku cakap dengan Amalin nak bawak je and time tu jugak Amalin kata dia rasa boleh je, I mean sampai jela kalau nak pergi setakat Corvallis tu. Selepas discuss discuss tu at last agree la nak bawak je yeyy boleh jugak pergi Malaysian Night yang aku tak pernah pergi seumur hidup aku haha. Tapi aku sebenarnya hmm ada tujuan lain jugak la haha tapi takpelah biar aku je yang tau.

Aku sampai awal tau tapiii ticket boy kteorang sampai lewat so memang tunggu lama la kat entrance ballroom tu. Aku dengan tidak segajanya tiba tiba macam berdebar ada satu masa tu tau kalau ayat novel kan dia cakap "adrenaline ku berkerak seperti air terjun laju yang enggan berhenti" haha dulu aku baca je novel melayu ni. Eh bergerak la bukan berkerak 😂. Nak tau sebab apa haaa sebab.. tak ada apa apa tak boleh bagitau jugak haha.

Btw, we missed the very first performance sob, orang cakap Aina nyanyi ciss rugi sangat dah la suara dia sedap. Tu pun kan ada la seorang jejaka berbaju melayu ni yang tolong bagi kami bertiga ni masuk kalau tak hmm memang aku tunggu ticket aku sampai berjanggut. Performance yang second tarian Sarawak kot ntah la lama sangat dah, tak berapa nak ingat dah. Yang aku ingat ada dance lagu kurik kundi. Anis neyna aina sapa ntah lagi ha yang tu the best la. Haritu dyorang serve nasi lemak tau warna hijau and aku dah agak dah rasa dia memang akan macam tu.

Dekat atas is me in my weird pose and baju forever 21 aku. Aku pakai dengan sogket aku yang dah bertahun lamanya tapi still it looks nice. Pastu ada lagi some photos from that night. Yang last tu gambar MADPP dengan ISMAT rasanya so siapa nak tengok budak Oregon ha meh tengok. Tapi gambar tu tak semua pun yang ada sebab rama jugak yang dah takda and yang tak ikut.






So lepas event, kteorang pergi rumah Anis and balik lewat la jugak haha berborak punya pasal. Kteorang balik dengan selamat sebab kereta okay je haritu. The End. Thank you for reading stay tuned for my next post bbye! Good night.

Happy Eid Mubarak everyone. Akhirnya raya juga aku kat Malaysia. macam biasa, pagi raya mestilah buat benda benda biasa untuk pagi raya haha tapi pagi raya aku lain sikit. Aku siap lambat so.. after orang balik solat raya pun aku tak siap lagi haha. Ada orang kata kalau nak iron baju tu jangan iron masa peak time sebab nanti semua orang minta tolong ironkan baju so I decided to be the last person. Tu pun masih orang suruh tolong. Raya kan takpelah. Actually the picture above is not my first raya's outfit but that is all nice picture I have for raya sebab photographer tak bagus and sebabbb I am ugly on my first raya haha.

In the morning I went to my step grandma's house (thats the first house) and followed my my nenek sedara punya rumah. I spent quite a long time there. Lepastu semua orang macam tanya bila balik berapa lama jalan mana at almost every house I went haha. Biasa la kan. Selepas tu aku pun balik rumah sebab ada orang nak datang, aku tolong tolong la kat rumah tu.

Tanya la tak balik kampung ke..sebenarnya routine kteorang adik beradik memang balik kampung Melaka petang on every first raya so macam biasa laa. Petang tu baru balik Melaka. Kalau kat kampung hari raya tu aku suk cakap dgn uncle Zai sebab lawak hahaha. Pastu dengan kak Mira dengan Molina. Oh kak Mira dengan Molina tu ada butik aku suka datang tengok tudung dyorang. Kakak dua orang tu kira kakak sedara la pastu dyorang putih sangat sangat ya Allah jealous aku tengok haha. Kteorang macam ada mix pakistan la sikit tapi aku mcm tak dapat apa apa dari gene tu ha ahahaha. Dyorg tu nampak la muka... dah la lawa 😍. Tapi dua dua dah kahwin aku pun tak ingat bila haha. Malam tu balik rumah balik sebab abang macam tak minat duduk lama lama sangat kat kampung tu saya pun ikut jela.

That's the end of my first raya 😋

Selamat hari raya semua orang. Lama rasanya tak update haha memang lama. Bukan taknak update, rasa tu ada cuma malas tu overcome the desire tapi I did it at last yeyy. Kalau nak cerit ahari raya ni hari raya aku memang tak ada apa apa. Tak ada la se seronok orang orang lain tapi boleh la daripada tak raya, atau raya dekat US tu macam last year . Thing I like the most is I had chance to visit my moms grave. It has been such a long time since I went there and sebak. Everytime I think of my mom, it reminds me that not every good person will be treated good.

Jom cerita lain jom. A day before raya mestilah sibuk, aku pun sibuk tolong aunty dekat dapur tapi aku dah rasa dah aku demam. So aku tolong sampai noon je and lepas tu aku habiskan masa tidur je sampai berbuka. Memang sakit sangat la kepala rasa nak meletup je punya sakit, dahla puasa makan ubat pun tak boleh. Nak nangis je rasa 😭. Lepas lepas je berbuka tu ha cepat cepat la aku makan ubat and it works right away yeyy plus I have something I promised to do so I need to get better before then.

"Chicago still remains a Mecca of the Midwest—people from both coasts are kind of amazed how good life is in Chicago, and what a good culture we’ve got. You can have a pretty wonderful artistic life and never leave Chicago."

It's final week right now and everyone is busy studying and like usual, I woke up late hahah. Woke up at 11 and it's a wow cs I have never sleep that long doe I sumpah. I think I overslept hmmm takpelah. It's just not fair I think as I am now feel like having an early Spring break hahaha poor my other friends. Btw, it's not that I am not studying, I just don't have any finals anymore; I have done them all *pls pat my back haha and now I'm so bored, got nothing to do except for cooking and looking for new korean drama to watch.

Also, Spring break is coming and we don't have any plan yet. We might end up staying at home to save money I guess. However, there is a viral thing about we using "duit rakyat" and I could just laugh hahahaha. People out there don't even know how we live here, what we eat, what we need to pay every month and yet they talked like they have been living here for a long time hahahehe. They re just so funny... It's up to you guys la people cause only we know how we spend our money and how do we get the chance to travel. Sukahati awak semua la cakap la apa apa pun cs I don't give a shit.

I promised to my friends at Washington to come and visit them this winter break and dah datang dah pun. At first, we planned to go there with the total of 5 people but suddenly one of my seniors joined us. Jadilah 6 orang. When we first arrived there, we stayed at Atiqah and Yana's house (its not their house act but whatever) and they served us ayam masak kicap yeyyyy for our dinner. Because the two of us actually just arrived from east, we took a rest on our first day at Auburn (rumah Yana and Atiqah). We started our journey on the next day to Bellingham, Washington to visit people at Whatcomm Community College. 

On our first day at Belligham, ada la jalan to a park and like always taking some good pictures there. It was super cold there tapi tahan jela. I pakai gloves pun rasa mcm tak pakai haha. So, we spent about two hours at that park for pictures and after that we went to a mall to get some halal foods. Dah alang alang we were at a mall, we spent some time to shoppppp. Sekejap jela tapi kan. Malam tu, we decided to go out to play bowling (our favourite game hhehe ) sebab rasa bosan. Two of us didn't wanna go sebab they wanted to spend time with the girls from Whatcomm since they haven't meet for quite a long time. The two of us tu, Nabiela and Aisyah, dikira senior la sebab they are from I-SMAT (which is earlier than MADPP kot, ke sama idk) and we are from MADPP 3rd batch. However, basically we are from the same sponsorship, which is MARA. Nabiela and Aisyah did not join for bowling that night but Encem brought his friends there. Adaa la total 13 orang yang datang to play on that night and I was quite malu la because I am not an expert tapi I buat tak faham je hahahah. 

After main bowling, someone kata pergi rumah the boys to eat. Atiqah and me masak la malam tu and because we were not really good in cooking (haha), we spent about almost 1 hour and half cooking ayam paprik. Ramai pulak orang masa tu, so banyak la kena masak. So we finished cooking at 1.20 am kot I tak ingat tapi kenyang la semua orang that night. 

On the next day at Bellingham, we planned to go to Mount Baker and something unexpected happened. We were locked out of our car sebab lupa ambil kunci. The key was inside and the car was locked from inside!  That was the thing I am most afraid of about car and it happened anyway. I was so thankful sebab a few men came and helped us to open our car using dawai and they left us with the dawai after spending about 30 minutes mcm tu to help us. It was near Mount Baker and literally no one lives there okay memang takut la I sumpah. Tapi, berkat kesabaran kot, we managed to break in out car guna dawai yang pakcik tu bagi after about 1 hour and half doing that. huhhh. Alhamdulillah. 


Malam tu rumah kawan Encem and Nabiela we ate together. Malam tu juga kteorang balik ke Auburn. 

Before sampai rumah we went to Kerry Park (the best place to see Seattle from far).

We also went to see Space Needle and Key Arena that night, and I think it was at 1 pm hahaha. It was cold but I was so happy cs it's a late night walk dude.

That was it for that day, and we went to UW on the next day. We woke up late hahah because I slept at 5 am gossiping about one of the seniors yang I and Atiqah minat at Bellingham nama dia start with S. hahahah teka la siapa. Pastu kan we went tu UW and arrived at 7 kot. Tapi the library we wanted to go has already closed. Balik la ke rumah lepas tu because we wanted to cook for dinner at home. I masak dengan Atiqah and bantuan some other people. Malam tu, haaa we spend our time together, Me Atiqah Encem and Luqman until 6 a.m (I went to sleep early than others sbb ngantuk). I got to know each of them better tapi I didn't tell much about myself. Maybe sebab 4 orang kot hmm idk.

On the next day, we went to Seattle mamak cari makanan malaysia but nasi lemak had already finished by the time we came. So sedih tapi takpela I beli benda lain.

After that we went to University of Washington again because we want to take pictures at the library. Atiqah said the library was so good. It was indeed so great I tak tipu. Gambar la saya di sana and we also went outside of the library for pictures.  

After hantar Atiqah ke airport, we went back to Oregon on that same day.

Malas la nak cerita panjang panjang haha tapi on our next few days kiteorg pergi habiskan semua tempat yang masih belum pergi dekat city pass tu mcm skydeck, 360 and apa ntah lagi satu tapi it was fun la. I dont have many pictures on those places sebab maybe I dont like my outfit on that day I dont remember la. However, I have some pictures at The Big Bean. We went there twice, siang and malam on the different day to see how it looks like at night. 




I dont remember every single thing we did there but we also went to The Navy Pier to take some pictures. I malas la nak cerita pajang panjang haha because I have another interesting story to tell.

 I think thats it for Chicago, I dont know what to say as my memorable experience there was when we first arrived. Itu sahaja I wanna say for now. Bye bye. Thank you sudi baca, appreciate it!

Lets go to the second day. So we slept in a hotel at Waukegan, Illinois, but we didnt figure out how to go to the main city of Chicago yet on that day. We decided to sleep after makan pizza (itulah dinner itulah lunch) and think about the transport on the next morning. After wed did some Google works, kteorg pun rasa yang naik train adalah choice yang terbaik because thats the only cheap way to go there.... 
We took a bus to the train station and bought a ticket for everyone. Adalah dalam half and our tunggu, then train pun sampai. Before that, sempat la ambil sikit gambar sebab bosan. Let me introduce my squad la btw. From right, Lee (she used to be my housemate when I first arrived, pandai orangnya), Kaisah (dia minat kpop menari lembut I could say), Beeha ( a blogger and also my roomate, we do share a lot of interests in makeup, she is from Penang), Fatin (one of my lovely housemates from Malacca, matang orangnya) and me. For the bottom row, the righ one is Amalin (asal Kelantan she taught me to eat budu in the US ahahha),and lastly, Ash (she is the coolest among us hheheee rajin pergi gym)




After tidur and buat semua benda (semua tau semua, insta twitter and so on) on the train and after an hour and forty minutes, we reached the cityyyy, The city of Chicago. The first thing we did after sampai was finding a kiosk to make Ventra card, (card untuk naik subway and bas la gitu so that we dont have to pay with cash everytime we need a ride). Pusing pusing pusing akhirnya we found it. semua pun buat la card masing masing and after that we went to our first destination, which was around Soldier Field. On our way there, we saw many weird monuments. ada satu tu semua kaki je hahahahaha it looked funny but beautiful at the same time. We spend some time the taking pictures, videos and so on.



We also saw, Christoper Columbus, hehehe monument je. Because we were all gegirl who love to take pictures, we stopped every time we see beautiful sceneries and we believe that pictures are just meant to be took everywhere in Chicago haha

Here was our first destination, Shedd Aquariummm. Behind me were the Chinese Emperors (tapi terpotong Im so sorry) and basically that building is using an ionic order based on the columns(saja je nak apply apa yag aku belajar dlm Western Art), maybe because it has some kind of  relations with Athens or the architect wanted to present this order without any reason idk. Search for it if you wanna know more. 





Basically that was it for the first day. After that we went to Serai (a Malaysian restaurant which its owner is a Chinese Malaysian) to eat of course Malaysian foods. Hilang semua rindu sebab rasa sebijik la macam kedai malaysia. I didnt remember what I ate on the first day however,  but it was worth it la sebab sedappppp. Rindu Malaysiaaaaaa. 😭

 It has been  a few days since I arrived Eugene from Chicago. I was a big city with SUPERLY GREAT architectures but orang orang dia are so unexpected. Saja je nak guna melayu biar mat salleh tak faham hahaha. To be honest, orang orang dekat Eugene lebih lebih lebih baik dan lebih lebih pembersih dari Chicago. Maybe sebab Chicago is a big city kan so thats why it has many kinds of people. Yang palingggggg tak suka bila orang orang kulit gelap ( you know what I mean) pandang me and my friends macam musuh je. Tak friendly langsung. Orang kulit putih were much much better sebab at least dyorang tegur la jugak ktorang, tanya dari mana and we can ask anyhing we wanna know about that city(at least okay) with them. Kalau orang kulit hitam tu hmmm nak dekat pun takut sangat. Serious takut. Maybe because they seemed aggresive and most of the time kteorang nampak dyorang marah kot... kotttttttt hahahaha idk.

Okay let's begin my story... at first, I hesitated to join my other friends to Chicago but I didn't know where I got the decision to join them hahah, but to think about it again, it was worth it tho. Since I just had to pay $190 for the flight tickets (total), and another 50 bucks for our accommodation. The flights went well except or the fact that we needed to wait for our transit hehe. On the day we arrived we actually had a big dilemma whether to rent a car or just take public transportations, because every day, to go to the main city, will bring us trouble as out hotel was actually far from the main city. It was seriouslyyy far. It was situated at Indiana ( the next state ) and it took us about almost 1 hour and half if I'm not mistaken, from the airport ( which also takes almost 30 to 40 minutes to the main city ). It was tough okay... but we made it at last. Luckily, the taxi driver drove us away from the hotel we reserved to the new hotel which also took us another 1 hour and half to go there. It was situated at Waukegan (near Minnesota I believe because I saw many Minnesota signboards on the way there). I didnt know whether this was true or not tapi I think the driver macam saja nak bawak jauh jauh so that kteorg bayar cab fee banyak hahahhah. Macam la tapi takpelah because he helped us to get new hotel.

So that was our first day at Chicagooo. Stay tuned for the next few days stories okayy.
