Home Sweet Home

So I'm back from my summer vacation to Japan and Korea with Daya and my grandmother. We went to Kyoto, Osaka and Seoul for 15 days. Now that I'm back in this sunny island, I can't wait for my next vacation which probably will take a super long time to happen.

How do I feel for Japan?
  • Clean - I meant really clean... I can't even describe how clean Japan is.
  • Perfect weather - Summer but at 20 degress?! That's like having aircon everywhere around you.
  • Friendly people - Everyone there is genuinely nice and helpful.
  • My favourite country for the time being
How do I feel for Korea?
  • Great country for Muslims - Super easy to find halal food wherever I go.
  • Shopping paradise - Great place to shop if you wanna stock up on clothes. Fashionable and affordable!
  • Tourist-friendly public transport system - Super easy to navigate wherever we wanna go!
I will blog more about my trip soon. Maybe once I get the photos from Daya. So many things for me to do, now that I'm back.

Blessings and Prayers

An adventure comes with a risk. This time I'm taking a really high risk. All I'm asking for is for blessings from my loved ones and prayers from everyone. Pray for my health as well as the people around me. For us to be safe from any illnesses in this world, for our safety. Pray for the very best. For us to all be good. In pink of health, no matter what happens.

Something's exciting coming up real soon!

Love,
Me.

Prudential Eye Singapore 2015

About a few months ago, T.O.P came to Singapore for an art exhibition. He practically "ninja-ed" himself here because no one anticipated his arrival to this little red dot island. His presence was known by word of mouth... Or shall I say, people spotting him and then posted the news up online?

Anyway, Daya and I got to know of the exhibition. And guess what, they allowed free admission for visitors who come on the first day in the months of April, May and June. So the both of us had to grab the opportunity!

Well, I was busy with exams in May so I told Daya that we would visit the exhibition once I'm done with exams. And the best date was on the first of June which turned out to be a public holiday as well. Honestly we anticipated a crowd because it's a public holiday. But we were only one of the few who visited the exhibition!

So we started the day with a great breakfast at Marina Square's CBTL. Eggs Benedict yumzzzz


Yeah you can see our happy faces right there when our food arrived! We were one of the first few customers of the day. Only a guy was dining at CBTL at such an early timing. We were there as early as 9 in the morning!

After filling our tummies, we made our way to the ArtScience Museum. You may say I am biased, but whatever... I just love the whole Marina Bay area. 

We were a little early so we waited outside for about 5 minutes and then went into the exhibition.

It is called Prudential Eye Singapore exhibition.



I am not someone who can really appreciate Arts, but I like most of the showcases there because they are quite interactive.








One of Daya's favourite showcase was The Bohemian Rhapsody Project by Ho Tzu Nyen. It is actually a musical scene acted out with the script lines from the famous song Bohemian Rhapsody by the Queens. It was good actually. If you know the song, you'll actually find it funny. Or maybe, because my humour level is different from others.

My favourite showcase would be this interactive Ping Pong Go-Round. A normal table tennis game usually consists at most 4 players with a rectangular table. But for this game, the table is of a donut-shaped table. So a few players would be inside of the table and a few players outside. Trust me, it was not an easy game because... Well, I'm really not a table tennis person. Neither can I do badminton or tennis. But I really had fun being part of the showcase.

Here's a short video of what we did yesterday!



Oh, and the highlight of the day at the museum was when a Korean dude came up to us. So, Daya was trying to make a fanart for Seungri on one of the projector screen (one of the showcases!) and then the guy was curious as to why were there Korean letters on the screen. Turns out, he's a fan of Seungri!




I hope to bump into friendly Koreans/Japanese people when I'm there.

Speaking of that, a few more days to my trip! So excited yet worried for my grandmother! May Allah SWT protect us.
