Ni Ju Nana sai -__-"

Omaigod...I really don't know what to write >,< It's like idea kering gitu. If I ever have to sit for writing exam..die!>,<

To begin this beautiful November (Japanese likes November due to ..what else..aki i.e. autumn :]), I will write something juga for you ols my beautiful readers..:D

Anyways, I ended October entries with the 'really-not-necessary' announcement about someone's birthday :D keke..

You know...orang biasa likes yours truly doesn't have many significant days to celebrate. 

But...I love celebrations. Therefore, I like to celebrate people's event. Plan and execute. If you have to compare me with a role in the Twilight saga, I am more like Alice:P haha...I connect with her more (no..not Bella..I.just.could.not.get.her..huhu.but oh well, she is the story teller :|)

The thing is..I don't know how to react when the event is organize to celebrate your truly:/ My face will be a total awkward :S 

Furthermore, this year, I was so much ready to have it without the love of my life around..all over again..just after a perfect birthday I had in the previous year :/

It.was.a.bad.day.

The day started with lack of sleep which then lead to unbearable headache in the morning (I rarely had headache that needs painkiller to manage it. But that day T__T)

Then I woke up late realizing I didn't yet throw my domestic garbage (which is about to be the nest of ulats). I literally speeding up packing the garbage and just a few steps away from the door..'pelepek'!!the garbage bag koyak and all the 'urghhh' stuff inside it..(you know) stained the mirror-like-shining hallway >,<

I forgot to mention. It was Monday T__T

The workloads macam...T___T

Tapi tapi..Allah itu maha adil dan mengasihani kan...

Despite of everything, the birthday that I had was indeed wonderful ^_^

Bad start never means bad ending too:) apparently, we usually remember the ending better than the start isn't it? ^_^

The party started with birthday song by that one guy...with soprano voice -__-"  Excuse my mata bengkak >,<

Home made cake by one of the girls. Around the cake written 'Let's enjoy Hiroshima Uni life' :D and then I got busted in fb for having so much life (a.k.a fun) -__-"

Me with my cake..ehe..yes, that was a mandibular tooth:P
*Excuse my oily face..It was already 8p.m yo (cubaan menegakkan benang basah..-__-")

Memang banyak tu je gegirl yang ada kt dept ni -__-" But alhamdulillah...I mix well with them ^_^

Cake distribution...They treated me like 'pincess'.hahaha..

and of course I got the biggest slice:D mashaAllah..sedap gile kot >,< since the day, I crave for chocolate cake..EVERYDAY while I am not a cake person :/ damn I was maybe drugged again >,<

Hiro means huge. and that was written at my cake yang juga hiro:)

Birthday dinner..mashaAllah besar portion >,< Tapi kene paksa juga telan  >,< because somebody is paying for you..

It was already 10. Ex-birthday girl in front of the celebration venue:) Oh, and I was holding my birthday presents:D 

How old am I?

I am not that secretive la..awal-awal I dah mention..sbg tajuk lagi -__-"


Happy birthday for you, you and you..be it belated or in advance :D

XOXO

This is for you..mom:)

The front page of my thesis:)

Submitted even before I got married..now I'm married, the happily done correction was at the last line of the last paragraph:)

Congratulations Wani!!

Today is the istiadat for me..but I can't (refused) to attend it..hehe..
My feelings is too much around relieve than happy. I don't feel like celebrating it. My mom is again, the happiest person on earth. I did this all because of her, so she deserved all the happiness in the world for this. hihi..But then she has to know that I am no Einstein :/

The path for me to get this second highest education degree was not easy. I have to say it was torturing in which at one stage I cried hard!I never thought that I would cried for already completed thesis! The procedure had once drove me crazy. It took me about 1 year for the thesis to reach examiners and another year for the thesis to be returned to me again. Absurd...I know. But Allah knows best. He gave me the best place right now:) Alhamdulillah..

For you readers, never ever you stop halfway in anything you already started doing. Never. With lots of dua' and tawakal, trust me, at the end point of your journey (God knows) everything will be in miraculous speed like what I had experienced in my journey getting another scroll.

Can you do me a favor? DON'T BE A LOSER.

p/s:seriously..the hardest part of a study is not the study itself! >.<

Sunda Food Dining:Jakarta

My Indonesian friends here knew about my visit to Jakarta. Their common recommendation to me was that I have to try the food as for Indonesian themselves, Jakarta is a food heaven. 

So, in my head all the way was always to use that opportunity to experience how heaven it could be :P

Well, the problem was, I don`t know where to start. Furthermore, my husband has this principle; `you tak jab thyphoid, so, we will only do fine dining -__-`.

Actually senang sangat you all nak indulge in their authentic cuisine. There are everywhere in the form of stall..I have to say, almost all spaces available are occupied by the hawkers selling (trust me) salivating Indonesian food. But, I could`t due to hubby`s amanah to me>.<

What we did, before we leave the hotel to get taxi, we asked the hotel person their recommendation. I insisted, it must be Indonesian food>.< So far, my favourite was Sunda.

Makanan Indonesia banyaknya digoreng seperti di atas ini. Picture shows sunda food selection (part of it)

Sunda food restaurant in Cikini, Jakarta. Ambiance.

Sayurnya pula dalam bentuk ulam-ulaman..I was at first did`t get the difference between Sunda and the others. My frined (Indonesian) told me Sunda has their special sambal (green color)..and I was like `ohh...ye..sedap!` 

Kesian..balik kerja kene entertain wife yang sedang dalam misi mengembara mencari Food Heaven >.<

We had, sup buntut (no, I did`t eat the buntut..story about it..later >.<). Nasi nye beras merah..lain sangat rasa dia...makan 2 sudu kenyang (yes..I meant my husband..surprise??o_O). Sambal ikan kering, ikan tilapia bakar (yang rasanya lain sangat), ulams, tempeh (a must) and I had jemput-jemput as starter (seriously..sedap!). The sambal (which at first we reluctant to take (sebab kami tak berapa gemar kot...). Tapi sambal itu (hijau especially) made everything sedap 100x!. The tea (complimentary I guess coz we never ordered) completes everything we had on the table:) This restaurant has planted a good image of Jakarta in my brain:)

Because this restaurant brings good memories for us:) Bumbu Desa, we will definitely meet again:)

Besides the food, all other aspects of this restaurant deserve 5 out of 5 star from me. I have to compliment on their service. They are beyond some waiter/tress and cashier. The same when I visited Food Opera in Bandung. I never seen such friendliness between customer and server. As for the taxi, we don`t have to stand by the road to stop it. The counter will call the taxi for us, for free. From hubby`s and my experience, the friendliness is not just inside this Bumbu Desa:) Indah kan?

And yeah..trust me..the price sangat sangat sangat sangat sangat sangat sangat sangat sangat murah!!!!(bayangkan kalau makan dekat stall or canteen o_O OMG!)

Just tell taxi driver, Bumbu Desa di Cikini kalau anda di Jakarta nanti ya! ^_^

Later!(fetching my just baked cookies :D)

1 Syawal 1432

I hope it is not too late to wish all of you my friend; Selamat Hari Raya Aidil fitri, Maaf Zahir Batin..

Or, kalau orang Jakarta dibilangnya..Minal Aidilwalfaizin..hehe..

Ikhlas dari yours truly yang sememangnya penuh dengan kekhilafan..Mohon ampun dari hujung rambut sampau hujung kaki. Sesungguhnya saya ini hanya manusia biasa.

Ok, our plan to menjejakkan kaki at KLIA on pagi 1 Syawal telah musnah gara2 tak pandai tengok anak bulan :/ 

Maka, we spent our 1st of Syawal in Toyohashi. We managed to visit one house, and later we dismissed for Tokyo.

Our picture `nak balik kampung`:D excuse hubby lifted pants:P

 Gambar baju raya?ehe..rujuk gambar raya kami tahun lepas:P

Hubby`s obsession towards shinkansen..layan kan aje...but the picture turns out  great kan??hehe

Di kala orang lain sedang stranded kekenyangan di open house, kami dinner Tenya-our favourite tendon restaurant. Unfortunately, the restaurants ada di Tokyo sahaje:/

Supper before boarding. Sebab lounge tak ada makanan..Pelik, tapi benar. Maka kena makan tako yaki jek :/ Untuk the wife, cukup kenyang...tapi si husband..kene beli makanan jugak dlm flight :/ boys..

Air Asia hot dog. rm12.

We flew by Air Asia. That was my first time with Air Asia X. Not bad. But I still fear for the lavatory based on a few peoples` testimonials. huhu..Tahan sampai LCCT. Tapi 2x5 jek..:/

Flight was delayed for about 30minutes. But we arrived 40minutes earlier than scheduled. Amazed?I don`t know how did they do that..But later I flew with AA also, I experienced the same thing. Is it any `speeding` terms on the sky traffic too? Please enlighten me.

Tahu tak sejarah `baju raya tertinggal di pagi raya` kami pada tahun lepas??

Yours Truly,
QueenForADay

Hari Mantai

I left you guys a few days before Syawal right?

So, I decided to start from the earliest time point I left this blog.

For some of you have known how I made a huge mistakes thinking that we will have 30th Ramadhan. As a result, we only reached Malaysia on the 2nd of Syawal T_T

So, nak tak nak, I have to do Hari Mantai alone at my home in Toyohashi. The house has been emptied for a month. So can you imagine how poor the kitchen was?

Tapi thinking it`s raya..I have to make myself rajin! I could not asked hubby to help around sebab beliau sgt2 busy..Dapat balik when I still awake pun kitorang sgt2 bersyukur..

I have been told about there won`t be 30th Ramadhan for so long. I think dah kepoh2 jugak in order to laugh at plan yang beli tiket konon2 nak sampai pada pagi 1 syawal kan...huhu..

Maka fakta yang salah tarikh itu sudah lame kami embrace dengan hati yang tenang...

It`s ok..asalkan balik raye dahla..haha..

But we still have to celebrate 1st of Syawal kan?I still have to cook at least for him:)

Hari Mantai. It`s the day muslims around the world preparing for 1Syawal. 

As for me, I didn`t cooked that much..very simple meal as we are leaving the next day for Malaysia..and gonna leave the house empty for next 4 months. So, I tried to leave as little rubbish and leftovers as possible.

Hubby was working on Hari Mantai..so, I occupied myself with..cooking:)

I made..famous amos cookies (sebab sgt simple n senang so I won`t leave the kitchen messy). Packed some for Malaysia but hubby ate it in shinkansen..(tak sempat sampai Tokyo pun :/)

It was about time to break fast...but hubby was still at work that I decided to make some chocolate pudding:)

Our raya dishes. Ayam masak merah, kuah kacang and nasi impit. 

This year was the first hari mantai that I have to do all by myself. My first raya dishes :D Alhamdulillah..so far, so good:D I have to admit..kuah kacang tu sangat sedap!!bahahaha
Hari Mantai was fun, tapi penatnye..sangat >.<

How`s your Hari Mantai?
QueenForADay

1 Tahun

Told you I was married in the month of Syaaban. Check out this post :)
My walimah was held on Syaaban 20th and the nuptial was held a day before that; i.e. Syaaban 19th.

Guess what date is today according to Muslim calendar??^______________^

Application from iPhone-Islamic calendar

Today is Syaanban, 19th ^_^

Marking our first anniversary!!yey!!!But it's so sad we cannot celebrate it together. LDM kan T______T

Ok, I lied. We did cheating. 

You know it's been days of my hiatus from blogging??Because I am too transparent most of my friends could guessed where I was during the hiatus:P I spent my whole week in Toyohashi, 'our' first home together:)

Since he is leaving for Indonesia (excuse me, it's work related) for 6 months (i believe there will be only '+' as the standard deviation for that period) I decided to take 'ponteng' for a week. And sendiri je decide nk celebrate wedding anniversary awal dpd the date..haha..I don't care la. Just a few days awal "/ 

Since it's summer now..we had difficulties deciding where we would like to have the celebration. Hubby proposed so many places to me..and I was so malas to step out of the house..panas T_T haha...Lagipun, summer view will not be as pretty as the other seasons will give. That's why I decided to keep the interesting places to visit in our list for other seasons. It's a waste for me to go during summer:P ahaha..So, we decided just to go with the flow and enjoy the last few days we have together before he left T____T

The pengantin baru ^_^  in front of our home during hari raya last year. 

Pengantin yang x berapa nk baru in front of the same home after a year. Rumah bersejarah as our first home as married couple ^______^ 

For married couples out there who are just reaching first year like me, don't you feel one year feels nothing..it's like you are just married yesterday ^_^

Oh, Sorry ya...another average mind post buat tatapan anda di hari ini:P hehe...

Almost there

Look at the top of my page..

There's Daisypath application..

Keeping track of days since our nuptial:)

Time flies so fast..sure all you agreed to that..

Same here..the ticker is approaching to 12 months if you notice..

Likewise..I have big problem when it comes of buying present for him..only him I got problem with:/ 

Knowing him too well making me too nervous..afraid if I get him a wrong present for our 1st anniversary.

It may be cliche for some of you..reading about anniversary..

But, I feel it in my shoes now..it is an important day. We made it!We broke many many walls...and finally reaching the the first year. It's never the end I hope..It will always be the beginning for something greater. InshaAllah..

DisneySea:Duffy Madness

Do you know what character is that??err..I mean the brown bear tu..bkn pink bear at the front=p

That's Duffy. The Duffy..The bear always appear as the toy for Mickey and Minnie..

sigh..until that pon they market this thing..

This thing is a new madness in Disney's land.

Everybody was carrying it..even the boys..and they take care of it like a real baby..

I saw some of them put the bear inside stroller and cover them with selimut bebagai..sigh..

Some were carried like a baby..and most were put in their coat like carrying a baby in baby carrier=| Yang x tahan lagi..most of them carried more than one Duffy..and of course..in several different sizes!wth!haha..

Ok..let's check on Duffy in.. where else..Duffy's shop=| see..there's even kedai dedicated just to sell Duffy and it's stuff..

When I said stuff..it means..baju for DIFFERENT SEASON..and everything else that's for me..ridiculous!

Ok, the smallest size Duffy cost 4,000 yen..(about rm100=|) And no, they are not usually carrying the smallest one!arghh!!!

Ok, don't let me start with Duffy's muffler=|
Look at how they make Duffy so trendy..

They also pasang some sort of seats for Duffy for photo taking purposes o_O sgt overrated=|
Oh, no..this photo xde kene mengena dgn Duffy dan keluarga beliau=p

that's us..leaving DisneySea..before the place was struck by tsunami T-T

Disneyland vs DisneySea??

Puan Wani votes for..*drumroll* Disneyland!ahaks!=p

DisneySea:What else?

Gomennasai as I will be writing about DisneySea again T_T

Going to places like that..guys will have nothing in mind..other than get onto the rides as many as possible!gosh..

For me pulak..I want to enjoy every single detail of the view..ahahaha...(ye..mmg membazir kalau difikirkan tiket masuk T_T)

Ok..I manage to find one view showing the top of mermaid castle..still..this picture doesn't show the best view..
Told ya about how you could be exhausted due to long hours walking??

No worries..ade local transportation going around..but..we just cannot wait la..every angle..sebelah, celah..all amazing!So, we decided to feel every single steps in there! ^_^

Okay..since morning we only had melon pan..of course we were so hungry by the time we arrived.

The restaurant there also got theme. The themes are according to the location. Of the restaurant/cafe located in mediterranean territory, the foods offer were as the same concept. So, we have this idea that..mermaid land served only seafood..

And yeah, turned out we were right! ^_^
We had seafood pizza, ebi (prawn) burger and scallop soup ^_^

I cannot explained how delicious they were!especially the ebi burger..sedap sgt!!

I was intended to try scallop burger for dinner..unfortunately..they close very early T_T

Oh, behind me..mediterranean territory=) cantik kan ^_^

When you come to this fairytale land, one thing that you should never missed...

Pictures with the icons ^_^..

Grab the hold of them as you are walking around the place!

You have to be fast and muke tembok to get pictures with them ok!

Let's see a few snaps from my collections ^_^

We are about the same height=p

With the Cruella..eheh.mmg jahat gile pompan ni....die tolak2 sume org...haha

Ok, I hope my writing here would help you picturing DisneySea from afar..

I heard this place will only be open again for visitor in August..;/

Look at the bright side..meanwhile you guys can plan your trip here! eheh..

What else??hmm..

Tokyo DisneySEA

Sambung dr post yang ini, well..I think most of you could guessed=)

We were having fun at Tokyo DisneySea..a day before the historic earthquake..

Don't worry..I won't be babbling about my schedule while I was there=p

I'll just share with you about what you could find there..

I don't know about you, but I never heard other places with DisneySea..Disneyland banyak la kot..That's why I nk sgt pegi=p

Oke, first of all, DisneySea is not as huge as DisneyLand..

And for me, the buildings, views, scenery..my likings will be inclined towards Disneyland=) of course..castles everywhere!

But for disneysea..no castle..no pwincess T_T..

The rides are mainly for adults as for the movie adapted for them..

Like Indiana Jones, Journey to the center of the earth, etc.

Nevertheless, the architecture for Disneysea still marvelous!

Oke, like other DisneyLand, Universal Studio..this place also divided into particular themes..

For example, mermaid land and Mediterranean territory.

So, as I mentioned it here, I'm sure all of you can imagine what will you find at all these places.

I like mermaid land..cz it's beautiful!and the games mostly invented for kids kot..that's why I like it..No hormones ever secreted subsequent to the rides T-T The view outside the mermaid land also stunning..but gomennasai..I couldn't find the pictures T_T"

At mermaid land, most rides are found indoors. But at the exit, there are small roller coaster..hehe..hubby xnk naik sbb x mencabar katenye T_T

Oh, floating jellyfish=p lgla x mencabar..haha..naik turon je..like solero shot yang mini=p but for those who gayat, it is advisable..cubela!!haha...x tinggi pon=p but we all decided to try cz..i don't know..dh xde org queue kan=p

Ni pulak..ikan buntal putar (I forgot the name..but it was ikan buntal..)

That's me bile kene putar=p MAse kene putar..cool!tp bile bgn nk turon..dah senget=p

One thing I have to warn you..whenever you go to Disneyland or Disneysea..your foot will be extremely exhausted!Wear comfortable shoes okeh!

Besides rides, there are many2 shows you can enjoy. In mermaid land shownye ialah..mermaid show!!who else is the star??of coz la Ariel ^_^ But..we cannot use our camera..so, I just show you the stage before the show started T_T..Alive Ariel was so beautiful!!I wonder la how Disney crew could find these beautiful girls to act as princess and all..

And later in the evening..when we were very exhausted..we decided to rest from walking by watching a broadway show..

Err..sorry..we both immediately fell asleep as the first singer came out;/ tsk2..mmg due2 xde stendet T-T

We are so japanese!we woke up when the last singer (Mickey Mouse) about to end his last line of the song=p we were so much refreshed after that=p

And we follow the crowd out..everybody was lining up for..

Venetian Gondola..haha..

Hubby was so stressed that he has to lined up for 20 minute just to ride the damn slow gondola=p I love it though..Romantic kan ^_^

And when we passed this one konon2 'sacred' junction..everybody has to make a wish..=p

Oke..this is one dangerous ride..Indiana Jones..Until 9p.m..waiting time still 200 minutes T_T giloz!

I really hate it when I have to accompany my husband for dangerous rides!

You know..I am a very small, fragile and everything soft=p
Nila kapal korek for journey to the centre of the earth..sekerii...

First you have to take elevator up berape feet tah..but tinggila..and you will ride the kapal korek turon menjunam..waaaaaaaaaa..

it was fun though=p

Oh, this was my first ride..muke br bgn tido=p roller coaster yang x bahaye sgt..

the real roller coaster??no, thanks=|
And bile penat...kite naek ride yang x de feeling..seperti perahu sinbad ni.haha..selow je...sambil dgr lagu sinbad=p
Storm raider..this one serious bes gile!!bes gile!!!

if you guys have a chance coming here, please consider storm raider..

I was amazed of the rides!I don't know if I can say it's a ride..cz you just need to sit on a chair with all the others..

when you come out you know..you are wet (haha..) and your jantung bedegup kencang=)

I sgt salute dgn inventor storm raider ni=p
Tower of terror..my husband was soooo excited to try this..but I was sooo scared!naseb baekla x sempat..haha..

It's like 2 times of solero shot in Genting Highland kot..eeeee....x mola..ade yang saket jantung=/

Tp seriously..this is the main attraction here.
Columbia ship..where 'talk with turtle' is located..

Talk with turtle??wth je when I first told this is also one main attraction..

But...the turtle talks!haha..and he was funny!!funny sgt!!But the turtle talks japanese T-T..but I got my translator..and I laughed because of his reaction to the questions given by the audience=)

This one also a must go ^_^
Oh..maaf..ni gamba atas gondola n org sdg make wishes=) oh yeah..the gondola driver (bg name sendiri je=p) did sang for us=)

Other attractions was...Water parade..

For me??nah..I like Disneyland Parade much much more ^_^..jauhla dlm air dorang show..so, x feel sgt..and xde pwincez2..I like princesses=p

Ok, that's all that I have in mind to share with you for now..There are a lot more for sure ^0^

DisneySEA..as the name implied, yes, it is located by the sea. So, the next day..this place also was affected by the earthquake and tsunami..

I am not sure whether they have fully recovered by now..

If you guys still are not feeling nausea reading my average writing, hehe..can you please stay tuned for the next episode;p
