Bila Sarah Beraksi

Balik dari berjalan-jalan di Taejongdae, haruslah kelaparan kan. Jadi, kitorang berpakat-pakat nak cari restoran seafood di area Jagalchi Market. Jagalchi Market ni memang pasar yang famous di Busan. Terdapat banyak seafood dan juga restoran di bahagian atas. Tapi after usha2 macam takde yang menarik.

Jadi, kitorang rayau2 pulak bahagian luar market. Kat sini pun ada banyak restoran seafood. 2 kawan baru nih pandai kecek hangul hehe senang nak tanya especially bab2 makanan ni kan. Then, kami pun jumpalah restoran nih tapi lupa nak snap gambar, nama dia pun lupa huhu. Yang pastinya owner dia tau cakap “Murah, murah”

Kami order ikan bakar & seafood stew sekali dengan semua banchan atau side dishes dia tuh. Ambik! penuh satu meja. Ikan bakar dia sedap, stew dia pun sedap, banchan dia pun sedap heee clear makanan maklum jelah lapar time hujan2 tuh. Harga 20000W per pax. Jangan gatal2 nak convert ok, pejam mata & bayar.

After makan, ingat nak merayau tapi, hujan, jadi kami decide untuk ke mall je. Lotte Mall. Jalan kaki je dari Jagalchi. Mall dia standard mall lah kan, tapi yang special ada air terjun berirama dan air dia tuh terjun dari siling ok.

Pulang ke guesthouse dengan baju dan kasut yang lencun. Pengalaman mengeringkan kasut dengan hair dryer memang epic hahah. Hujan masih turun dengan lebatnya. Adakah esok masih hujan?

This topic just came about as I was thinking about the mistakes or wrongdoings that I have done. The moment where you are scolded because you did something wrong although you did try your best, heck it was your first try anyways, but no, people are more result oriented. So if you do something wrong, most of the time you will be penalized in a certain way. Sometimes, even if people say

“ That’s a waste of time” or “Don’t you have anything better to do” even those words can make you feel a bit down.

People ignore the fact that human learn from their mistakes. It is said that Thomas Alva Edison tried 1000 times before he came out with his ever so famous invention, the light bulb. There is only one way that you will never fail and never make mistake and that is by not doing anything, by not trying a new thing, by not pushing yourself to a certain limit, by doing the same routine.

As we get older, we don’t embrace change easily, we fear new things, and we want stability and comfort. When I continued my studies, I remembered how nervous I was sitting for the exams and taking tests. Beats SPM, Matrix & Degree for sure haha.

One of the main reason is because we care much about the perception of others. We feel embarrassed when people point out our mistakes. I feel the same way too. And it gets worst if the perceptions come from the people that we already know. I rather embarrass myself in front of complete strangers then in front of family members/friends/colleague.

So sometimes what I do is I turn to social media. I join certain groups that can benefit, encourage me and share new knowledge. Try to find new friends who have similar interest, so in that way, they won’t ridicule you! So for those out there trying new things, reach out for those who can give you a hand & support you and mute the negative sounds around you.

Selamat Hari Raya! Macamana raya mesti meriah kan? Kampung kat mana? Mine di Kuala Lipis. Yup, kampung Datuk Siti Nurhaliza tuh heheh

Both parents asal Kuala Lipis. Senang urusan balik kampung setiap tahun. Walau aki & wan dah takde, tapi still balik jumpa sedara mara.

Lepas balik Solat Sunat Aidilfitri pergi melawat sungai tempat mandi zaman kanak-kanak dulu. Air cetek tuh lama tak hujan, tapi nampak deras jugak.

Haruslah posing OOTD raya kan? Actually tahun nih antara tahun paling jimat beli pakaian raya dengan total cost tak sampai RM100 hahah

Bangga tahun nih berjaya jahit baju raya sendiri. Yang top tuh ala2 kurung mini la macam tuh. Takdelah beria tapi oklah kut. Kain tuh dah lama beli tak berjahit. Skirt tuh beli sebab masih fail jahit skirt, padahal skirt tuh senang je kut sekali jahit singkat, dah malas nak alter2 dah heheh. Jadi kesimpulannya, skill jahit menjahit yang ada sikit2 nih sangatlah bermanfaat. Baru start awal tahun, insyaAllah akan dipertingkatkan lagi supaya lebih mahir.

Oklah anyways, selamat hari raya, maaf zahir batin :)

Ok, hari nih nak balik ke Busan. Harituh masa sampai Seoul Station pergi kaunter tanya nak beli tiket KTX ke Busan. Yang available pukul 10.30 je. Lagi awal takdak. Jadi terpaksalah ambik jugak. Harga sama 59000W. Memang ada option lain yang lebih murah, naik bas, atau Mugunghwa train. Tapi 1, time always comes first. Naik bas 5 jam oi. Lama. Nak naik Mugunghwa night train boleh kalau ada geng travel buddy. Sebab pergi sorang, rasanya better travel time siang lebih selamat kan.

Sampai dah ke Busan!

Orait jadi pukul 1 gitu dah sampai ke Busan. Cuaca agak mendung. Makan roti as lunch, then naik subway untuk ke guest house. Woori Guesthouse menjadi pilihan sebab berhampiran dengan Jagalchi station, kiranya tengah2 bandar jugaklah, bersih, good reviews & harga yang reasonable. Rate dia 45000W (around RM155) untuk 2 malam (bilik single with ensuite bathroom). Ok sangat kan? ni rate yang Booking.com bagi & ada discount for Genius.

Bilik di Woori GH

Bila check in tuh, 2 org Malaysia tegur. Diorang pun stay situ. Ajak terus pergi Taejongdae. Actually plan Taejongdae esok, tapi dah ada geng, apa lagi ikutlah sekali. Yeah dah jumpa travel buddy. Baik tau ajak kita jalan2 sekali heee. Ok kalau nak ke Taejongdae nih, dari Woori GH, senang je, Jalan depan sikit ada bus stop. Tunggu je kat situ ambik bas #8. Fare dia tak salah 1000W. Turun kat Taejongdae station. Tak jauh, 30 minit dah sampai.

Jum jalan

Area Taejongdae nih macam kawasan persisiran laut gitu. Time sampai hujan renyai2. Nak explore tempat ni, jalan kaki yang best sebab boleh menikmati pemandangan. Ada option untuk naik Danubi Train yang akan stop di certain2 point.

Danubi Train

Hujan pun tetap ke pose

New friends yeah!

Awesome view. Ada area makcik2 menjual seafood tapi kena menapak turun sikit. Sekali rupanya ada jeti sekali. Boleh naik feri untuk balik ke entrance. Harga 10000W. Time naik feri nih ombak kuat jugak. Dia bawak pusing2 area Taejongdae then barulah sampai ke entrance. Nak balik ke Jagalchi, naik bas yang sama ok.

Gerai seafood

Dalam feri

TO BE CONTINUED...

Ok, jadi harini bermula agak lewat hehe. Rasa macam malas nak keluar awal. Kalau keluar before 10 sejuk lagi kat luar. Around 10-12 degrees. Jadi around 10.30 baru bermula harini. First destination adalah Ewha Women’s University atau lebih dikenali kat sini dengan nama Edae. Best jugak kan ada University khas untuk wanita. Sebab apa? Sebab area tuh jugak merupakan port shopping yang best haha (macam la banyak sangat menda nak shopping)

Untuk ke Edae ni senang je, turun kat Ewha University station. Jalan straight je nanti sampailah pintu masuk dia. Universiti nih university wanita terbesar di dunia! Senibina arkitek dia memang menarik. Jalan-jalan usha surrounding dia. Ramai jugak students2 lelaki datang dengan harapan dapat jumpa aweks-aweks cun le tuh heheh.

Then kita nyopping la kan. Macam2 benda boleh shop kat sini. Dari cosmetics, baju, handbag, kasut. Janji ada duit kan. Cosmetics macam takdelah beza dengan kat Myeondong, sebab kedai2 nya pun sama. Tapi kalau baju2 tuh memang best shopping kat Edae ni. Banyak butik2 baju yang murah tapi quite trendy. Cumanya baju dia mengikut musim. Make sure ada cop “Made in Korea” baru berbaloi beli heee. Range harga dalam 10000W-20000W.

Petang-malam ingat nak rayau Myeondong pulak. Cari streetfood. Ada makanan2 yang boleh dimakan macam kebab, bungeoppang berinti kacang merah (sedap serious!), strawberry mochi, gyeran bbang (egg bread) dan hotteok. Sorry gambar tak banyak sedap leka melantak haha. Bukan seme makan kat situ, ada yang tapau makan kat bilik heheh.

Malam tuh, since malam terakhir di Seoul, ingat nak singgah DDP (Dongdaemun Design Plaza). DDP nih shopping complex cum exhibition centre designed by Zaha Hadid. Design dia macam UFO! Kalau malam-malam boleh tengok LED rose bergemerlapan gitu hehe.

Orait that’s a wrap untuk harini. Esoknya nak ke Busan!

Another rambling this time. Don't know about you guys but since I was young, I was always the frugal type haha. Buying cheap stuff, finding the best promotion, getting super saving deals and so on. (Pssstt I'll tell you a secret, people still ask me where I buy my clothes/tudung expecting a name of a boutique or a famous online store haha but most of the time, I'll buy it from cheap stores or the night market ;) the secret is having a good eye and mix & match guys!)

So living that kind of life is some what ok. I'm not into the latest trends, following certain brands, collecting shoes & handbags. Even my car is a Malaysian car, really low maintenance and low monthly payment. Its all good coz I can spend my money on travelling!

BUT! there is a but guys. Being moderate can make you feel complacent and make you feel at ease.You don't feel pressured to get something or achieve anything and you'll sometimes feel less motivated. You're basically in the comfort zone, playing safe. You feel like everything is enough.

So that's why having an ambition is important. Being ambitious in achieving something will make you more motivated and inspired. Maybe not so in terms of material things (although that is a HUGE pushing/motivational point for most people), but maybe in other things, such as being ambitious in doing good deeds, starting a business etc.

Anyways, the point is, maybe I should set my goals, be ambitious, plan to achieve what I want in life!

Perut pun dah bunyi2 kelaparan dah nih. Secara jujurnya, dalam trip nih macam tak banyak makan kat luar. Maybe dalam sehari tuh sekali je kut. Pertamanya sebab nak jimat kos, secondly bila nak makan sorang2 nih kena tengok tempat jugak kan. Nasib kadang-kadang ada yang ngajak join makan sesama tuh bolehlah join hahah. Hmmm tapi tips untuk nak makan sorang nih, elakkan peak hour kut 12-2, dinner 8-10. Try makan awal sikit or lewat sikit.

Anyways, ada baca dalam satu blog nih mengenai restoran Chungmu Kimbap yang terkenal dengan nasi sushi bersama sotong pedas dan kimchi lobak putih. Sodap katanya. Ada beberapa cawangan kat area Myeondong. Jadi cari punya cari jumpa! Dekat2 dengan Forever 21. Tak salah regenya 7000W

Pergh memang berasap makan nih. Pedas woooo. Tapi sedap!

Perut dah kenyang, jadi perjalanan diteruskan dengan berjalan mendaki bukit ke arah Cable car Nseoul Tower. Kalau dari subway tuh ambik exit 3, jalan ke arah 7-11, nampak Hotel Pacific belah kiri, jalan straight je mendaki. Nasib before trip nih aku adalah sikit2 exercise kalau tak sure pancit. Takdelah penat sangat heheh. Dulu sebenarnya dah pernah pergi Nseoul Tower nih, tapi tak berkesempatan naik cable car. Yang bestnya, cherry blossom masih banyak lagi! Seronok :) Lagi best kalau naik bas or even jalan kaki je ke atas, tapi masa macam tak cukup jadinya naik cable car je
