UCD, Benbridge and Odyssey... 1st time jadi tourguide

OHHHH, finally!

Jumpa juga budak Dublin,

walaupun hari yang pergi Cardiff, Paan dan Sha Azni datang Belfast dari Cardiff

tak sempat jumpa...

kali ini, kedatangan 6 pelajar UCD,

my dearest Rifhan, Syamin, Rina, Fazu (budak M08d~~) Mali and Salimah

(lepas ini di'refer' sebagai 6 budak UCD)

berjaya disambut di Europa bus centre...

Hujan and sejuk tidak menjadi penghalang untuk 6 budak UCD ini berjalan-jalan walaupun terpaksa menarik luggage mereka.

Sempatlah aku tunjuk Belfast City Hall dan bergambar walaupun hujan...

Ribuan penghargaan*asal bunyi pelik?

diberikan kepada 'Pharmacy Household' *grand tak nama?!! hehe

di Eglantine Avenue

sebab sudi memberi tempat tidur kepada 6 budak UCD ini.

Sangatlah dikesali terlupa ada Malam Quran ...

setelah menjamu Jaipur kami pun berangkat,

Malam itu sebagai Tour Guide Rookie, aku sedar banyak kelemahan dalam diri,

contohnya, selalu sangat lupa jalan... Ulsterville pun tak kenal lagi...

*malu sebagai budak Belfast

Oh well, sempat juga show off our beloved Lanyon Building and then MBC (6 pelajar Medic UCD) dan bangunan-bangunan yang sewaktu dengannyalah...

sayang sekali Botanic Garden tak sempat.

Tour petang itu diakhiri dengan coffee at Starbucks.

Lanyon Building, 6 budak UCD dan Tour Guide Rookie

Balik-balik, semua terus nak collapse... nak kumpul tenaga untuk aktiviti utama esok,

Shopping di The Outlet, Bendbridge.

Mengikut maklumat yang didapati, The Outlet dapat memberi lebih kepuasan kepada para Shopaholics berbanding dengan Junction One...

hmmm, it is hard to argue since I never been to Junction One.

Okay, The Outlet, actually I wasn't looking for anything particular,

fashion-wise, there wasn't anything impressive.

Aku macam keluar masuk kedai, tangan masih kosong. Dahlah ada pak cik pelik dari Bendbridge tiba-tiba ikut, *ini semua sebab syamin friendly sangat!

but in the end, I did buy something worth (dalam erti kata lain, MAHAL),

a pair of boot

and other stuff

(most are basics like tights and camisole).

Bukti The Outlet taklah best sangat : Muka monyok~~

Malam tu, 6 budak UCD sangat bertuah sebab ada orang sudi masak bagi makan...

terima kasih Shidan household... for the food and for the laugh

Rummateku, Rifhan dan Rina bersemangat pula nak tidur di Elms Village.

Rina di bilik Athirah dan Rummateku, di bilikku lah...

*amat dikesali juga ada yang tak dapat tengok bilik aku macam mana...

tapi serius macam KMB tapi lagi luas, kalau korang nak tahulah

Pagi esok, Carboot pula, di Crumlin Road.

*memang objektif kedatangan 6 pelajar UCD ini ialah Shopping!

nampaknya hasil hari ini juga memuaskan...

*sila rujuk facebook untuk bukti gambar

then tour guide rookie sent them off to Europa, bidding them GoodBye!

Semoga bertemu lagi!!

So on that Sunday, the day is still young for me to go back, turn off the mode of being a tour guide, I am back being some kind of a loner.

Seriously, walking alone to the city makes you appreciate more what is around you...

*I think

Petang, plan nampak kabur lagi, tak tahu nak pergi mana, duduk berehat di Belfast City Hall, macam loser...

Mungkin macam loser sebab 'selca' ...

untuk kurangkan ke'loser'an call Malaysia. Family seem to do fine back in Ampang.

Plan nak tengok Fireworks di Odyssey pukul 6 ptg, tapi ada Study Circle, Malam Quran dah miss, don't want to miss this one...

so, Make a call, postpone study circle to 7p.m., settle.

Sekarang, geng? Lin and geng Shidan ... lambat sangat!

WaI? Ita? Yes! Settle... tapi still kena tunggu...

to kill time, explore Castle Court yang tak sempat-sempat lagi explore... dan window shopping lagi.

Nak shopping, tapi takut payah nak pegang barang masa nak pergi Odyssey nanti.

Tiba-tiba, sambil tunggu WaI dan Ita ada perarakan...

tapi tak pasti perarakan apa... yang pasti bukan Holloween.

Jumpa pun Budak-Budak Farmasi, setelah duduk lama kesejukan, kami terus bergerak ke Monster Mash di Odyssey, naik bas free!

Tapi secara jujur, budak-budak saja yang boleh enjoy Monster Mash, performance pun lagu budak-budak. Sempat juga berjumpa dengan Lin dan yang lain.

Sedar-sedar, sangat lapar, makan Ice-cream and

Chocolate-dipped Apple (holloween apple).

Sempat juga masuk Odyssey... tak ada apa-apa sangat, tapi kalau konsert besar, di Odysseylah.

Last time, Lady GAGA, ... sayang, sayang duit sangat!

Puppet show... *budak-budak tengah bersila kat depan

dengan Budak Farmasi *sorry malas nak tulis nama

balik Monster Mash pergi rumah Kak Sya for study circle...

lama tak jumpa Kak Sya... pengisian tidaklah terlalu berat cuma nak cerita SEED dan POEMS (opps, I miss POEMS since I was still stuck in Malaysia)

POEMS yang diceritakan oleh geng Farmasi memberi sedikit sebanyak semangat untuk menyertai POEMS Revisited...

Overall, it was a great weekend...

To be honest, TOO TIRING...

I can't have this every weekend...

I really wish for simpler weekend...

But it was super super great to see the 6 budak UCD... hehe...

Ps: Maybe next location Tour guide rookie is Giant Causeway? *bajet!

CARDIFF trip...

Wow, saya memang suka menghabiskan duit... beli tiket flight...

Well, the actual cost is only 80 gbp... but seniors is so nice (kak Tiqah and kak Wan), sanggup belanja dalam 20+gbp lagi.... Duit MARA masuk nanti saya belanja makan eh...

Why was I really excited to get here... (Cardiff a.k.a. Caerdydd)

I never been in the mainland

There are a lot of KMBian 10 there (including my sugarbabe)

I miss my sugarbabe(refer to above)...

Since there was a program (SEED) over there, I thought it is a chance to go there...

*For some reason, I thought it is hard or 'unlikely' from Belfast to get to the mainland, never realize it was easy...

Oh well, in my opinion,

Cardiff is less colder than in Belfast... *it should be, geographically

When we arrive, it was raining

Shortly after arriving we join the program(SEED), we actually miss some of it, there were mainly 2 speakers, which actually presenting idea from 2 differrent perspective, one I am familiar with, the other, I would say 'controversial' idea, somewhat conflicting in what most of us understand...

well, I wouldn't really want to blog about it (not my blog's style, sorry!)

at the program, I met my dear blockmate (KMBian), Farah Shazana, Wardah, Haulah, Achik, then Nina, Edy *siapa lagi?

Nice to see them adjusting to new lifestyle (living in Cardiff)

Then, I skipped the last part (closing ceremony, since I want to see my dear sugarbabe, Anne.

She brought me to this potluck held by the Malaysian Society there, and I met Efa.

Efa was practicing badminton before that (semangat Badminton!)

So it was seem like my dear friend, who I presume was going to show me around was busy, and somehow I end up being a member of Cardiff Malaysian Society (funny!).

oh yeah, Kasyur was there too...

I decided to go to Farah Shazana's room which is en suite... bilik jiranku masih sama seperti KMB, sangat selesa, dan aku rasa memang tertidurlah waktu..

sambil rehat-rehat tu Farah sibuk skyping, don't worry dear, I didn't eavesdrop on you,

even if I did, I keep my mouth shut.

Until I realize I get hungry but Anne still busy, so I join my seniors for a meal at this supposedy Japanese restaurant... Chicken Ramen!

Itu pun Faqrie belanja... lama tak jumpa Faqrie... masih sama seperti dulu...

Faqrie sangat baik! *somehow bunyi macam tak ikhlas

lepas belanja chicken ramen, belanja chicken cottage lak...

huhu... thank you very much...

On the way to the Chicken Cottage, at the same time get to see what Cardiff City was like.

Supposedly they have wonderful beautiful places *itu apa yang Adam cakap...

Adam and Faqrie ordering Chicken Cottage

Wow, I did eat a lot that day...

dahlah masa lepak-lepak bilik Farah sempat mengunyah-ngunyah gak....

Tulah Faqrie...

suci, murni, innocent... apa lagi...

oh ya, Murah Hati!

Anne is so Sexy! *tiba-tiba je... miss her

On the way back, it was getting colder, and on the way there I wasn't wearing my coat, so when I was busy putting my coat on, walking outside, crossing the road....

I realize, f*k! I left my bag at Chicken Cottage

Nasib baik perasan... kalau tak...~~

On the way back, Faqrie was hugged by a fan and his name now is 'little red riding hood'

hehe... *it so scary and funny at the same time, when I think about it

Back at Anne's room we had a very very long pillow talk...

I guess, we are still young, so many problems and 'tak puas hati'

we just hope for the best.

The next morning, the four of us meet again and we take pictures at the Bute Park

(check out Facebook eh) and then we had free nasi lemak from a KMB senior, Ammar *unexpected ... happy

and we had to rush back to the airport to get back to our beloved Belfast...

It was a really short trip...

but it was good for a first time

I didn't get the chance to visit most part of Cardiff, but really it was nice that other than get new knowledge (SEED), I get to see other KMBians...

Come to think of it,

I didn't get to meet Syazana Omar, and Irma...

Ikram pun sempat jumpa...

*mungkin lain kali ...

Ps: I wish I was rajin enough to take more pics!

Pss: I wish I had stayed there longer... hahaa!

Selamat Hari Raya Aidil-Adha....

sahaja ingin mengucapkan

hehe...

wahhhh... first raya berjauhan dengan family....

Ps: tak ada banyak benda nak disampaikan... esok kelas pukul 9.00 pagi...~~

Organizing 'my' makeup bag...and travelling with makeup

Finally, I manage to find time to blog...

well, this is a post that I was trying to put ages ago, but I can't seem to find time.... *sucks

it is about makeup bag, unless you are a makeup artist you will just get a medium sized to large sized bag just like me, instead of makeup box that MUA usually use... hehe...

the situation is, I buy this kind of bag,

with some pockets for brush and pencil and then a large space? for what?

to throw in all my eyeshadows, blush and lipstick... and you will get this:-

unorganized and messy...

(doesn't matter how manby time you try to organize it will always end up like this)

yeah, I thought about buying a true makeup box, with all the drawers and section...

but that's the thing, it is expensive (meaning I don't want to spend money on it) and I don't have that much makeup to be at that level...

I believe all my makeups fits in that RM8.00 beg...

it is just hard to find something and it is just makes me take MORE MORE time to do my makeup *not good

I was trying really hard to find a bag like this but with pockets and section...

unfortunately, I couldn't...

then, it struck me, why I don't just sew pockets in the bag?

I know it sound lame especially not being good in sewing... but when you think about it... it is much easier... than to spend up to RM50 trying to find this ultimate makeup bag.

So I just get some cloth (I tear a t-shirt), and just sew on the bag..

*I don't really know how to explain what I did

The bottom line is I just sew it to divide the space into section.

now I have three sections which are for ;

1. eyeshadow

2. blusher

3. lipstick.

the section for blusher include all my compact (powder).

so normally my bag look like this..

well, sometime, some of these are out somewhere...

ok tak?

stuff like my primer, concealer and liquid foundation is out of the bag, since these are the main things I use every day...

the problem is when I am going somewhere... and I want to bring everything...

I just put these in the bags on top of these section

*it doesn't matter since it is just for travelling and the bag fit...

the picture above still have more space..

so, this is how it looks:-

Love it! and it is not that heavy!

However, it is a reminder when you are travelling on plane...

I mean I can just bring a big bag for skincare and my makeup bag if I am travelling by car or bus...

but for flight? it is a whole different story, especially when you are travelling with hand luggage only *no check in luggage

I am still working it out... I believe what they *security in airport* emphasis on is

the amount of liquid you bring...

so usually, I put my liquid foundation in the clear plastic bag with other creams and etc and

I bring another makeup bag that have my powder and stuff...

I never bring this makeup bag in a hand luggage yet, but I hope to bring it when I am visiting Mainland again this winter...

since I am going to stay there longer *more than 3 days... I have to bring ALL .

I think it will work out... InsyaAllah

Ps: I have been to Cardiff, Leeds and Nottingham... so maybe I'll start blogging about these place I have been to... of course most of it about meeting my dearest friends... I miss you guys!!

Pss: Since I don't have a camera, I just use camera on my phone *which is not that good... just check out facebook... there are pictures there...

Kembara Northern Ireland...

okay call me a loser if you want to...

aku sedar dah lambat gila baru aku nak post pasal trip ini...

mamposlah orang kata aku loser!

well, these wonderful photos are not mine anyway...

so thank you Lin, WaI and the gang for the photo.

Nothing much to say except that to tell you guys I finally been to Giant Causeway and

alsoLarrybane Carrick-a-rede and also the Dunluce Castle.

I didn't manage to take many photo

(with my lame cameraphone anyway *bear with me please)

but I did get busy be in the photo ... haha!

I love this one:-

Although I really look ridiculous.

There was reason for me to be so tired that time...

*I know, I look silly

What I wore:

Coat : Carboot 2.00 gbp (percaya tak?)

Green shirt (worn inside) : Primark 4.00 gbp

Light blue cardigan : Malaysia mari...

Straight cut grey jeans : New look 16.00 gbp

Floral slingback : Malaysia mari... (momoe)

Shoe: Adidas 38.00 gbp...(hehehe...)

From left : WaI, Me!, Lin, Aina, Zati, Ita

Down here is the only photo I have... which was in Dunluce Castle... It was really nice, even though there is only half of it left...

Oh, I just notice, I didn't have photo of Giant Causeway in this post...

oh well, it is just rocks anyway... hahaa!

oh yeah, and I remember the trauma I had there...

gee, thanks hafiz for being gentleman... biarkan aku...

*I survived

What I would like to conclude:-

Finally, I wouldn't be bother anymore if there are friends in Ireland saying they've been to Giant causeway... Me too!

I would say, these all are nature's beauty,

too bad blogging about these stuff is not my style you know what I'm saying...??? hahaa!

I blog about vanity stuff and etc...

lastly, it was a blast since we get to bond with fellow Malaysian in Belfast... You guys rocks... *especially seniors who come up with this trip

Ps: The night before this trip, I went out to celebrate my new friend's birthday, Padmini!

(she just to depressed about turning 19...*sabar jelah)

PSS: Insyaallah, saya memastikan saya update blog ini, believe me,

because I still love to blog about vanity and entertainment...

I don't understand why my fonts could not be in colour!!!
