Ramblings (Again)

 Sebuah kisah perjalanan bersama masa. Semua orang belajar dan membesar tetapi belum tentu dewasa.

A story of self growth, whether it's about finding and improving one own self, as well as reminding ourselves that we merely regular human beings.

Angin datang membawa salam. Bibir mengukir senyum. Walau hati tak mampu menafsir.

Merenung pemandangan, mengundang pelbagai rasa. Monolog sendiri.

Jalan hidup ini memang banyak simpang dan bonggol yang tak diduga. Yang berlaku tiba-tiba dan tak tersangka.

Ramblings

 Relatable. Comfort. Escapism.

Berdamai dengan takdir dan masa silam. Pelbagai rasa.

Sometimes, this world is just weird.

Keluar dari comfort zones, dari yang membatasi potensi diri sebenar.

"Some things in life are too complicated to explain in any language" - Haruki Murakami -

The absence of hope. Some people understand, some will judge. But there are also people that will not give up on us.

Pagi yang Indah

 Selamat Pagi Dunia!

Alhamdulillah, dia dapat tidur lena malam semalam. Tidurnya tak terganggu dek mimpi ngeri ataupun rasa-rasa tak selesa. Pagi ni rasa segar bila bangun. Seronok bangun awal-awal pagi, rasa nyaman, tenang...mandi air sejuk! Petua orang dulu2 katanya, mandi air sejuk boleh menguatkan tulang especially kalau mandi sebelum subuh. Tapi mulakan dengan menyiram kaki dulu supaya badan kita tak terkejut sangat. Petua orang2 dulu ni maybe tiada bukti saintifik tapi kalau yang tak memudaratkan, apa salahnya diamalkan. Arwah nenek yang meninggal sewaktu umurnya 100 tahun tu memang sejenis kuat dengan disiplinnya. Bangun pagi jangan terus bangun, buat senaman2 ringan dulu di atas katil, lunjurkan kaki, buat stretching dulu. Tapi dia...hmmmm selalu lupa nak buat. Kringggggg! Bunyi jam loceng yang entah ke berapa kali, terus bingkas bangun sebab takut lewat. Memang patutlah makin kerap sakit2 badan sekarang, tak dengar cakap orang2 tua :p

Dia paling suka matahari pagi masuk ke dalam rumah. Feeling tu best sangat! Rasa macam sanitise rumah semula jadi. Kalau boleh nak dibukanya semua tingkap2, cuma duduk kawasan perumahan di bandar ni kadang2 kurang privacy, tambahan lagi ada rumah yang bunyi bisingnya satu kampung boleh dengar.

Apa agaknya lagi yang paling dia suka waktu pagi?

Siram pokok dan berbasikal sambil dengar lagu Korea! Walaupun scenery keliling taman perumahan ni tak seindah dalam K-Drama, tapi bila layan lagu2 Korea pagi2 ni, bolehlah feeling2 macam berbasikal dengan scenery cantik South Korea tu. Hmmm...dia selalu rasa macam nak berhijrah terus je ke sana :p

Cuma ada satu perkara ni yang dia tak boleh miss waktu pagi. Kalau tak moodnya boleh ke laut.

Coffee! Actually, dia selalu minum nescafee susu panas, barulah rasa lengkap paginya. Kalau tak, boleh rasa stress sampai sakit kepala. Tahap addicted hihi.

Harinya bermula dengan secawan kopi panas.

Dah masuk Februari 2021!

 Laju betul masa berlalu. Sejak masuk tahun baru 2021, belum sempat lagi menjenguk ke sini, tup tup dah masuk bulan Februari.

Makin teruk rasanya tak pandai manage masa. Banyak benda terpaksa diletakkan bawah mode Work In Progress. Cuba laju sikit. Laju macam Covid-19? Opps!

Unforgettable travel experiences in South Korea

 1. Hiking Seoraksan (most famous national park) especially during autumn. Enjoy the rocky cliffs, waterfalls and quiet valleys blanketed by snow in the winter and flowering trees in the spring.

2. South Korea's market especially Namdaemun Shijang in Seoul.

3. Taking a boat to one of the many small coastal islands. One of the best routr is to take a 4- hour ride from Tongyeoung, which includes Somaeumul-do and other islands in the Hallyeo Haesang National Marine Park.

4. Seeing a traditional performance - pansori (Korea's wailing blues), a mask dance or hallowed sound of the bamboo daegeum (flute).

5. Seeing the city lights twinkling below from Namsan (Seoul) - Seoul tower on top of Namsan gives you the best view of the city (don't forget to add a key lock to the thousands already left by lovers along the viewing platform).

6. Taking a night cruise along the Han River (Seoul) - catch a ferry from a dock in Yeouido.

7. Contemporary art in Insadong, the traditional art district.

8. Enjoying an Al Fresco Cup of Joe (coffee) on Gwangalli Beach (Busan)
