Athens | Greece (6 hours transit in Singapore & 12 hours journey to Athens)

As I am writing this I am already in Rome, Italy. (transit for 9 hours to Zurich, Switzerland). I do not want to miss anything so I would love to record it in here for my reading in the future. Sebab ini adalah satu anugerah dan rezeki terbesar dalam hidup Kak Shane yang asalnya daripada kampung #TimpiGirl to wherever and whatever she will become in the future. 

#EuropreTripJourney from KL to Singapore, transit for 6 hours today. We have allocated SGD 50 each for this transit (Scoot Airline). Went to halal food courts and the spending did not stop there.

We couldn't make it to airport without this one right here Bobo! His wife (madik) teman kita virtually (video call sambil dia tengah kerja). 

Nampak muka ada senyum? Sebenarnya member tengah sakit pinggang dan kena paksa senyum untuk gambar.

Mine! 

Alam's! 


Indeed! Uniqlo was so poisonous that we could not resist! Alam got her a waffle shirt and pajamas! I got my self pants! 

6hrs wasn’t that long at Changi Airport #ytjt sebab terlalu banyak benda boleh buat, disebabkan terlalu banyak boleh buat itu lah kita decide untuk sit at the corner and charge our devices bahahah!(Nanti boleh google things to do at Changi airport kalau nak tahu lebih banyak info)

So, finally after 6 hrs of waiting, it’s boarding time! Singapore to Athens! Ada sorang Puan dekat security checking tu tanya “Adik belajar dekat situ (Athens) ke?” Awwww! Auntyyyy, How I wish to answer a big YES but “Eh tak Puan, jalan-jalan saja” I replied her. 




Alam dah cakap, nak conquer buku Vivi Yusof. So masuk perut kapal saja, duduk tak sampai 15 minit terus lolap! As usual, jarang jumpa orang duduk bahagian belakang yang dia behave. Pak sini, pak sana saja nak bagi orang rasa tak selesa untuk tegakkan kerusi. 



Well at least, they made Alam reading by doing that. I myself? Tidak ketinggalan. Tidak duduk diam. kejap pergi tingkap Alam, kejap pergi toilet, kejap jalan cari window untuk gambar. The view was breathtaking!


View from Alam’s window:


(Oh rupanya Alam punya tingkap dimalapkan waktu ni hahaha! Mati-mati ingatkan warna langit purple macam tu #sakaisekejap ka atau memang betul macam tu? >.<)

View from the other side's window:



Almaklum kita first time terbang jauh-jauh I mean it's a 12 hrs journey! Yes I still can't believe it even until today! Jadinya setiap kali nampak awan berkepul-kepul lain macam kita akan ambil gambar, apatah lagi gunung yang dilitupi dengan salji! Allah ja tahu macamana excited nya Kak Shane masatu. Belum sampai dah full memory phone :P

So atas dengan ni antara gambar-gambar yang Kak Shane susah mau pilih mana satu mau letak dalam ni.

 Entah gambar ke berapa sudah ni, tapi masih lagi non stop snapping photos. >.<


This! When I saw this, I was so excited! The inner child in me tiba-tiba mau nyanyi "Let it go... let it go" ha camtu. Cantik betul pembentukan ais dia. Ya I know over kan, tapi seriously maybe untuk mereka yang belum pernah experience snow begini lah perasaan dia. Mungkin saya over sikit, tapi lebih kurang lah orang bilang. 

Not to forget about our 12 hrs journey, haa buat apa sepanjang 12 jam? Membaca, makan, pergi washroom, tidur (kena paksa tidur) supaya tak jet lag orang bilang so Kak Shane tidur, bangun, tidur, bangun. Kalau mau berjalan boleh juga, bagi longgar otot (is that even a correct word? Longgar otot? Teacher help me!) but you got me right? Untuk alas perut ini makanan Kak Shane. 


Until then...


Alhamdulilah! Sampai jugaaaaa. Athens Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport! Sampai terus berangin-angin, sejuk yang teramat! I smiled all the way out. Senyum ja tengok tulisan asing, tulisan yang memang tidak boleh agak pun. Sangat asing. At first it was so scary, tapi lama kelamaan kita boleh overcome perasan tu. 

Next writing... Day 1 Athens | Greece! 



Location: Leonardo da Vinci International Airport (FCO), 00054 Fiumicino RM, Italy

The day I become Mami

Image
Every time I think about my labor, there’s a mix of feelings I still can’t fully understand. There’s a void—something I might not be able to make sense of now, but maybe later, Inshaa’Allah. So I write it down, because every time I do, my eyes well up. This isn’t just a birth story; it’s a reminder of how Allah planned everything better than I could have ever imagined. My due date was 26/08. But on 23/08, I spotted blood. We didn’t rush straight to the hospital. Instead, I calmly checked our hospital bag again, took a bath, and tried to steady myself. Only then we went.  The doctor checked me—my cervix wasn’t even 1cm. Then came the news: Oligo. My amniotic fluid was decreasing. To avoid baby distress, they decided to induce me with a balloon. The next day, I only reached 3cm. That was all, even after the balloon induction.  Contractions were so strong, so strong—but my body just wasn’t progressing. By midday on the 25th, the doctor broke my water. Finally, 4cm. I was moved ...

Self Summary

In March 2014, I decided to flew to Kuala Lumpur alone with RM 50 in my pocket. It was a long story but I survived. I was once being told by my Mentor that life is not  a destination, it is a journey. I could not agree with him anymore. Another Mentor of mine said that, it is my choice of what I want to become. Whether to be a failure or to be someone successful. I can be whatever I want to be "only if I wanted to". Her hastag #nakdengantaknakje . Alhamdulilah. Within these 6 years (turning 7 in March 2021) I met many people with different way of thinking and backgrounds which has widen my perspective of life. Despite all challenges, I never regret of taking a step from my hometown. It changes me a lot.  In this blog, I would love to share my self reflections and spread the positivity as many as I can.  Well yes of course, I am just a normal human being which has my own difficult times so just bear with me. Lately, I found myself eagerly writes every emotions that I feel ...

CJ Idris turns one, a year postpartum of me.

Image
CJ Idris Turned One CJ Idris turned one. Alhamdulillah.  And somehow, that also means I survived one whole year postpartum. And it's not me alone. My husband too.  I still couldn’t believe how in the worldddd I became a mother. Not even a month of being a wife, and suddenly I became a mother. You know what I mean? Tak sempat nak adapt as a wife, then suddenly a mother? Whuuttt?! HAHAHA! But it happened, you know. And as I’m writing this, I suddenly got a flashback of all the times I prayed for this. Like gazillion times. I prayed for this, and then pap! Allah gave him to me just like that. And now he is in his ONE+ ERA. My husband and I learnt so many things after having Idris. Like, really. So many things about each other, about ourselves, about marriage, and about life. Sabr is the key. Ya, I know. But you see, it’s easier said than done. There were days when patience felt so far away. Days when both of us were tired, like crazy and overwhelmed (mostly me being this way) an...
