NORTHEN EUROPE: AURORA BOREALIS

Assalamualaikum and hi everyone. I hope you're all doing well. 😊

.

To be honest, this was my very first trip to Europe, and I'm excited to share it with you all! I'll be breaking it down into a few parts based on the route because there's just so much to cover.

.

I chose Finland and Sweden for my aurora experience, and let me tell you, it was unforgettable! While I unfortunately didn't get to see the aurora in Finland due to the weather, Sweden more than made up for it with an incredible view.

.

I went backpacking with some friends, spending a week in each country. Here's the breakdown of our routes:

Kuala Lumpur - Helsinki (Finland) - Rovaniemi - Akaslompolo - Abisko (Sweden) – Kiruna - Stockholm - Kuala Lumpur

We flew with British Airways, transiting in London before continuing our journey and returning to Kuala Lumpur. The flight cost was around RM2,500, which might seem surprising, but this trip was before the days of COVID-19, back in February 2019. I'm sure prices have changed since then—when I went to Iceland in July 2022, the flight cost with Qatar Airways was around RM4,500! Quite the difference, isn't it?

.

Can't wait to share about my experience in Helsinki with you all!

Howdy?!

 

 

Assalamualaikum and hi guys. It has been a while since I posted. I think my last post was on June 2018.

A lot has happened for the past 7 years and I have been traveled a lot. Can't wait to share the photos and memories here. 

 Be right back!

My Goal is to Be Happy

Assalamualaikum.

It's been almost 6 months from my last post. Was a bit busy with classes and work.

Life is good. I passed my ACCA F4 paper. Alhamdulillah. A bit more to go. I don't want to rush anything as I need to focus on my work as well.

I went to Thailand on April. Was so happy. If I have time to share about the trip I will post it here. ;)

Ramadhan is here. The blessing month. I'm grateful that I can experience it again this year. Alhamdulillah.

You know what is the best thing about Ramadhan? When you do something bad and you know you're bad person as it's not because of Satan.

Last 6 months is not always good things happened but I'm grateful for everything. Good people. Difficult people. Those struggling. All ups and downs in life. Now I just want to be happy. The past is in the past. Whatever is coming, I will face it with patience.

How is your days? Are you happy with it?
As long  as you're alive, you should be happy. Because you're still given a chance to be alive.

May I can write more posts next time. Till next time and thank you for reading.

Assalamualaikum.

Jerusalem is Palestine Capital

Your recognition means nothing to us. Your maps mean nothing to us. Your embassy is as illegitimate as the occupation it seeks to legitimize.

Our land is our land. Our dignity is our dignity. Our determination is our determination. Our boycott is our boycott. Our Aqsa is our Aqsa. Our Palestine is our Palestine. 

We never had any expectations of tyrants, dictators, or stooges. 

We bow our heads only to One.

We will continue to insist on our freedom, even if the world has ceased to acknowledge it. 

#FreePalestine #HandsOffJerusalem

Jerusalem is Forever Belongs to Palestin

Despite of Trump just announced that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel, we Muslim always know that Jerusalem is belongs to Palestin.

And no one can change this fact.

Not Trump. Not Israel. Not anyone.

From river to sea, Palestin will be free again.

You can kill us but not Islam.

#IsraelLaknatullah
#JerusalemBelongsToPalestin
#HolyCityofIslam
#FromRiverToSeaPalestinWillBeFreeAgain
#NoOneCanChangeTheFact

What You Really Want?

Last Thursday, my Manager asked me what I really want to do in my life. So, I just be honest with him that I want to travel around the world when I have enough saving. But it is not going to be really soon.

Maybe in another 10 years. I need to have really big amount of money by that time. Hahaha~

Because to travel around the world I need to quit my job. Focus 100% on travelling. My mom told me not to worries about this. She confident that I can do this. Maybe some people will doubt this but I believe "anything the mind can conceive, you can achieve it."

The next day, I was having my lunch at the food court. Then I saw these three uncles around 50's to 60's years old having their lunch. They look like someone who working in the building too. Then this thought came across my mind "I don't want to continue to work when I'm in their age". Yes! I don't want to work forever. I want to enjoy this short life given to me. Spend every moment with happiness without stress.

You might think I'm not ambitious person. Yes, I'm such person. I just want to be happy. Go wherever I want to go. Eat whatever I want to eat. It's not money that I want for. It's not even matter when I died. I'm not going to take it to my grave. Hahaha~ The only matter is how you spend your time while living. Don't only think about money. I realise that the only good things about money is when you want to buy somethings. Don't you think so?  Don't ask me to give my money to you. Hahaah~

Wish me all the best with my plan.

Thanks for coming over.

Trying Something New

Look at how time flies! It’s November 2017. And 2018 is coming! A year older. :(

Usually when it comes to new year of course it will be new year celebration. To be honest I’m not that kind of people who celebrate new year. Hahaha. But this year would be different.

Why?

Because I’m going to celebrate with my friends at Singapore! I think this would be a really  great things to do. I have booked my flight tickets. I will go to Singapore on 31st of December 2017 and return back to Malaysia on 1st of January 2018. Not going to sleep anywhere. Hahaha. Sounds crazy?

Luckily there is still flight tickets available. I mean cheap flight tickets. Hahaha. I don’t want to waste my time to take bus.

Our planning to watch fireworks and talk until morning. 😂😂😂

Give You Back

Assalamualaikum.

Sometimes it’s tiring to show your effort to people who will never appreciate it and the only way not to get hurt again is stop putting any  effort towards them.

That’s how I’m gonna live now. I will treat them how they have treated me.

I feel like I’m just a small existence. Either I’m there or not nothing would change. Been spending quite sometime for nothing.

I will treat them coldly just like how they treated me.

Year End Vacation

Assalamualaikum

Last week, I watched Running Man episode when Kwang Soo and So Min need to ride gondola at Pantai Timang as their penalty. Pantai Timang is super nice! After that I immediately searching for travel agent who can bring me to Pantai Timang. and I found it! Pantai Timang is located in Jogjakarta, Indonesia.

Unfortunately, the vacation date is on 17th of December which I think impossible for me because I have exam on 8th of December. Impossible for me to get 10 days leave in a row! Hahaha~ So now I'm asking for them if there is any package on 23rd of December. They said they can reconsider it but still unconfirmed. :'(

In case, my Pantai Timang trip is not going to happen I guess I will go to Beijing. I think it would be nice if I go during December because  during that it's winter time! I like winter. I wish Malaysia is a four seasons country! Hahaha~

Pray for my vacation. Too tired. I need a relax time now. :(

Allergic

Today (4th of September 2017) is the worst allergic I ever had.

Usually my face only get itchy and redness appeared on my face.

But today is really worst. Not only my face got itchy but my body also. And the worst part is I have difficulty to breathe. It feels like something blocking my nose airway. I have to breathe using my mouth. I can't fall asleep and I need to go to work the next day. 

This is happened after I had my dinner. I ordered Tom Yam Soup from the Thai restaurant near my house without realizing it containing 'belacan'.

The unfortunate part is this is the second time for this week I accidentally ate 'belacan'. 

The first time when I was in Kelantan. I went to my relative house for Eid Celebration.

p/s: Belacan is shrimp paste or shrimp sauce. It's okay for me to eat fresh shrimp but not belacan! 

I hope things will get better tomorrow.

Bad Genius is A Real Genius Movie

Assalamualaikum.

Have you watched Bad Genius? If haven't I would say that you should buy the ticket and watch it now. It's totally worth it. And I have watched it 2 times! Believe it or not I think I would go for third round. 

Not too much to say that 20/10 rating is acceptable for this movie. From the cast to the story plot everything is perfect. I can't believe that the actors of this movie are younger than me yet so talented. 

This movie is about four young students making an exam answers to money. (The sell an exam answers). And this movie is based on real life event. At first all their plan is going smoothly but of course no bad things will last longer. Excited to know? Get your answer in cinema now!

Since next week I will be on leave and going back to hometown, I think my third round would be after Hajj Eid Celebration. Wohoooo! I can't wait.

Thanks for reading!

A Simple "Thank You"

You never know how a simple “thank you” can make or ruin someone day.
Don’t hesitate to say “thank you” even you hate them so much.

I learned it this week how simple words like “thank you” broke me.

It feels like people don’t appreciated you after you showed some efforts towards them.

And it more worst when they said “thank you” to other people who has done the same things as you but not to you. It made you feel you thinking like “are they despising me’’?

And I didn’t enjoy my weekend now.

I agree that being appreciated are one of the best feeling in the world and make you want to do more great things especially in your career.

Sometimes the words “thank you” are far better than monetary rewards.

P/s: Say “thank you” because it also can keep a good terms relationship. Who knows.

If....

If there is any good, I would have want to stay here.

That’s why I want to leave. I couldn’t found any good in it anymore.

Stop Blaming Others

People never give you a chance? People doesn't see your potential?  People doesn't trust you?
People take you for granted?

You have done your best yet no one appreciate you and you think they are the worst person?

STOP BLAMING OTHERS! Instead of just waste all your day thinking about others faults.
Spend your time to think why people doesn't see the 'gold' in you. Have you proof to them you are talented person? Have you ever trust other so that people can do the same to you? Trust is not something that fall from the sky. It's gained from time. Learn to get along with others.

People take you for granted because you allowed them to do so. Make things that make you happy. If doesn't like it tell them that you're not going to do it. Some people will accept the refusal some may not but at least you have told them. People will never know if you just keep quiet.

People tends to blame others but never acknowledge their mistakes. Sometime you need to try more harder so that people can see the potential in you. Don't just be lazy. Go to extra miles. If you have finished your work go and ask your Senior if you can be any help to them. This will grow a positive perception towards you.

It's not only about others mistakes. You're the part of the mistakes and take it positively. Learn from the mistakes because no one is perfect and because no one wants to make mistakes.

p/s: Not related to anyone

1 Year and 6 months

I have been working with my current company for 1 year and 6 months.
And currently serving for a new contract.

A lot of things happened during the time. Happy, scared and challenging.

Happy when you accomplished something like the application of client work pass is approved. Happy when you would be able to finished your task. Have a great time with collegue. Laughed together.
Having a lunch together and talk about life.

Scared because you might do something wrong and cost your client and your company.

Challenging when you need to learn and do a new things when its different from what you had done before. Challenging when you need to balance between work and study.

But mostly its good. Good employer. Good colleague. Good foods. Hehehe.

May I stay strong in future. Amin.

The Blessing Month: Ramadhan

Alhamdulillah for still been given an opportunity to fast again this year.

For us, as a Muslim we cannot eat or drink anything or doing anything that will void our fasting from the dawn until the sun down.

Fasting is not only about hungry and thirsty, it teach you to taste the feeling of hungry from people around the world and to be grateful for you have. For example able to have a foods to eat. Look at people from country with a war crisis, some of them have nothing to eat. You might not been there but at least you can feel it.

Fasting is not torturing your own body. Fasting will cleaning your stomach. Stomach is a factory of all disease. By fasting that is how we clean it.

When we are fasting we must control our angry and other bad expressions. That is how we learn how to be patience.

When I was about 6-7 years old I couldn't fasting for the full day. I only fasting for half day only and when I grow up a bit I fasting for a full days. Practice makes perfect.

How to stay energetic during the day?
1. Drink a lot of water when Sahur (The time you eat before dawn usually I sahur around 4 to 5am)
2. Eat dates in odd number.

You will stay energetic!

Give yourself a try to fast. You will like it and feel the difference.

I wish a Muslim around Happy Ramadan and may we able to get Lailatul Qadr rewards.  Amin Ya Rabbal Alamin.

Don't Afraid the Mistakes

It’s not fun making mistakes.

But however horrible it feels to make mistakes. Mistakes are the fastest way to learn and grow. We can train for months and months to learn something but to truly understand it or to make it better we have to experience mistakes. The problem with mistakes isn’t in the mistakes itself. It’s in the way how we handle it immediately after.

Don’t be embarrassed by mistakes. See it as an opportunity to grow and to be even better. Mistakes aren’t pleasant when it happens and sometimes it messes up your work or inconvenience people but it’s important to acknowledge that nobody intentionally sets out to make a mistake and that’s why it’s called a mistake and not a sabotage.

It’s highly unproductive to punish people for making mistakes. Punishing someone for their mistakes doesn’t make them reflect or analyze. In fact, a punishment only serves to overshadow the real consequence of a mistake. Even when we are truly sorry a punishment will only stop us from trying to better because we are so afraid of doing the wrong thing.

People who live in fear are highly unproductive because instead of making less mistakes they just spend all their effort trying to hide their mistakes from you. So instead of scolding or punishments tell them what they did wrong and show them how to do it right.

Don’t let mistakes be your enemy and that’s when you turn every mistakes into an opportunity.

#RegretIt

For You, Who is Sad and Crying

For you, who is sad and crying
For you, who is struggling
I’ll sing this song for you with all my heart
When you think you’re alone, when you suddenly start to cry
When you feel like no one is next to you

Remember that you’re not alone
Even if the world always hurts you

Even when you feel lonely or sad, don’t cry
I’ll wordlessly hug you, I’ll listen to you
Look back, I’ll be here
I’ll wipe away all your tears
Even all your loneliness

On a sleepless night, when you’re in your lonely and empty room
When there’s no one to listen to you
When hardships come to you like falling rain
And drenches you without being able to avoid it

Remember that you’re not alone
Even if the world always hurts you

Even when you feel lonely or sad, don’t cry
I’ll wordlessly hug you, I’ll listen to you
Look back, I’ll be here
I’ll wipe away all your tears
Even all your loneliness
