Mula-mula beli tiket secara gamble sebab kena timing spring time, tiket pulak murah. Dah lama teringin nak tengok cherry blossom secara live. Bila lagi kan? Fikir nak tunggu masa yang sesuai, tunggu kawan free? The right time is now, gitu konsepnya, terus beli dan plan. Beli KL-Busan-KL. Ingat nak pergi Busan & Jeju, since my first visit dah pergi Seoul, tapi bila selidik dan riki, macam leceh nak round Jeju kalau tak sewa kereta. Dah takkan pulak aku nak sewa kereta sorang? So changed plan untuk naik ke Seoul for a few days and then baru turun balik Busan via KTX. Ok I'll share dulu photos and explain in detail ok?

I just love to ramble, hence this section labelled ramblings. It’s just something that I wanted to write about and share with 1-2 guys who are reading this blog. Ok so back to the topic of discussion, when did I realise that I am an adult? What is the definition of an adult? For me being an adult means that you are independent, you can live by yourself and be responsible for your own life. Of course parents will always want to help you anyways, but being adult is about standing on your own feet.

I remembered when I got my first job, and rent a flat with a few friends. It is not that far from home, but still, that’s the moment when I realise that I am an adult and I have to do things on my own. It is different life compared to school life or university life. To sum it all up, this poem If by Rudyard Kipling. I rarely read poems, but this one is truly a really inspiring and explains what adulthood and maturity is all about

If you can keep your head when all about you

Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,

But make allowance for their doubting too;

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,

Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,

Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,

And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream — and not make dreams your master;

If you can think — and not make thoughts your aim;

If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster

And treat those two impostors just the same;

If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken

Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,

Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,

And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings

And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,

And lose, and start again at your beginnings

And never breathe a word about your loss;

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew

To serve your turn long after they are gone,

And so hold on when there is nothing in you

Except the Will which says to them: “Hold on!”

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,

Or walk with Kings — nor lose the common touch,

If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,

If all men count with you, but none too much;

If you can fill the unforgiving minute

With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,

Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,

And — which is more — you’ll be a Man, my son!

 - Rudyard Kipling-

Hiking yang tak dirancang sangat. Duk tengok2 dekat blog a few bloggers pergi hiking ke tempat ni jadi rasa macam nak pergi. Ajak member, terus on. Gitulah kan, orang cakap yang beria plan susah nak menjadi, kalau mengejut macam ni, lagi senang nak jalan hehe

Bukit Batu Putih ni sebenarnya terletak dalam kawasan Hutan Simpan Tanjung Tuan, berhampiran dengan Ilham Resort. Sebelah tuh Pantai Blue Lagoon. Disarankan untuk hiking awal, kalau dak berpanas. Kami sampai pun dah around 9.30 macam tuh.

Bayar RM1 di kaunter dan lalu ikut jalan tar. Jalan tar? Mana mencabar kan? Haha actually ada lagi a few tracks, tapi kami follow jalan tar tuh je senang sikit. Terus je nanti sampailah nampak Rumah Api Tanjung Tuan. Boleh selfie dulu kat sini.

Then untuk masuk track ke Bukit Batu Putih ni kami ikut track di sebelah kanan (dari main road jalan tar) kerana laluan yang sebelah kiri ditutup. Ada kebakaran katanya. Sampai bomba pun datang nak memantau keadaan. Yalah cuaca kan panas. Bila dah masuk track tuh jalan je straight sampailah nampak batuan putih. Haaa kena panjat batu-batu nih pulak.

Bila dah panjat, taraaa!

View die memang awesome. Cantik macam dekat pulau rasa. Member tunjuk gambar dia kat member opis depa ingat kat Lombok ok. Hehe. Tapi kat puncak tuh memang panas la sebab takde pokok nak lindung. After dah selfie, wefie dan menikmati pemandangan, kami pun patah balik ikut arah yang sama. Masa pergi-balik around sejam suku gitu.

Hiking macam nih sesuai kut untuk beginner/intermediate. Kalau yang hardcore tuh sure tak sempat keluar peluh kut. Makcik, pakcik dan budak2 pun ada yang hike. Jadi apa tunggu lagi, ke PD la, dekat je :)

Sometimes it is easier for us to think about the past, to question “What if…” We regret things that we did wrong or we didn’t do. But the past is just a history as some people say. It’s over and its time to move on. Sometimes we always think about the future. We also ask the same question “What if…” We become afraid of the uncertainties, of things that might happen or might not happen. 

But what about the present? We forget about it? We let it slip away until it becomes the past. I have to admit, sometimes I am like that. So I’m trying to balance things out. I’m not saying that thinking about the past is totally a bad thing. We learn from the past so we don’t repeat the same mistakes. We reminisce the sweet memories that are dear to us. And of course we have to think about our future, we must be prepared for what lies ahead. But, the present is most important. Live in the moment, live in the present. The present is a gift after all. Carpe diem!

I think that most of you will agree if I say that we always think that other people have a better life than us. The grass is always greener on the other side, as the saying goes. So we chase after that happiness. Wanting to achieve the kind of happiness that we think they have. But what is happiness? How can it be defined? It certainly can’t be measured. Happiness comes in different form, that giddy feeling when you stumble upon someone you have a crush on, that proud moment when you received you degree, when you cried after delivering your baby, that ecstatic state you’re in when your football team won a game.

But how long does it last? A year? A month? A day? An hour? Definitely it is not forever. Feelings are never constant. That ‘happiness’ is just a temporary high. Who wouldn’t be happy to buy something? For instance a car, a sports car. Of course you’re happy but it’s only for a certain moment. Will you still be happy a day after that? A month? A year after that? So you keep on chasing, searching for ‘happiness’.  The thing is, life is not ALWAYS about being happy. Life has its ups and downs so you’ll never catch up with happiness. Maybe what we should be looking for is a balanced life. When time gets hard, just remember that it will past, and some kind of happiness will come

Jum main masak-masak nak??? Heheh kalau ikutkan takdelah terror sangat memasak, tapi sikit-sikit tuh bolehlaaa. Masak lauk sikit2, dessert sikit2. Jadi ingat naklah share sedikit sebanyak resipi yang telah di try especially resipi makanan bekal yang dibawa ke opis. Konsepnya ringkas, sihat & jimat gitu. Dah a few months try konsisten not badlah, memang boleh jimat (yeay! this means more travel for me :))

Mehlah jenguk2 jap bekal yang I bawak

Nampak sedap tak? hehe konsep #lunchdepanpc okeh. Nanti I share sikit2 ya resipinya 30 minit pun tak sampai sebab memang senang je. Tak payah tumis2 pecah minyak bagai memang takde, so kepada yang bertekak melayu, maybe boleh modify dengan tambah  kepedasan or lebihkan bawang ke. Orait till then, nantikan ye resipi2 menarik.

Antara azam ataupun something new yang saya nak cuba untuk tahun nih adalah bercucuk tanam. Before ni memang takde pun nak try tanam menanam nih. Tapi rasa macam why not kita cuba something new yang bermanfaat. Benda2 yang diperlukan pun bukannya susah sangat kan, bekas (boleh guna bekas2 plastik dan recycle) tanah dan benih. Bukanlah nak buka kebun ke hape, tapi atleast nak tanam sayur-sayur macam tuh more to domestic use lah. So antara sayur yang terawal yang disemai adalah sayur bayam, salad, sawi, tomato ceri dan cili. After 6 weeks, menjadi jugaklah bayamnya. Sempat tabor baja taik ayam sekali je hehe.

Oklah dah selamat buat spinach omelette yummeh hehe. Bayam nih senang jugak nak tumbuh. Campak je cukup air, insyaAllah menjadilah dia. Dan dalam masa 6 minggu macam tuh dah boleh tuai. Setakat nih takde serangan serangga dan tak sensitive sangat. I suggest kalau baru nak berjinak2 dalam gardening, boleh tanam bayam. Kalau tanaman menjadi, barulah confidence level dan semangat pun lebih kan?

Sawi langsung tak nampak rupa hehe. Then nampak macam ada yang bercambah, siram punya siram rupanya pokok lain. Pokok nih category catnip Malaysia kut. Kucing suka makan, gigit-gigit akar dan daunnya.

Salad pulak lain cerita. Try first time, langsung tak bercambah. Try semai kali kedua, bercambah, tapi maybe terlebih air akarnya mereput. Nih try kali ketiga ada a few je yang survive setakat nih. Mencabar jugaklah nak tanam salad nih. Untuk tomato ceri dan cili, for the first try ada yang bercambah, tapi pertumbuhan terbantut. Maybe I messed up the roots semasa nak replant. Dalam usaha untuk tanam kali kedua.

Baru-baru nih ada semai kalian, dah bercambah hopefully bolehlah membesar dan mendatangkan hasil. So that’s the record for now. Overall, kena cuba dan jangan giveup haha
