Travel Post : 2 Girls in Singapore

Assalamualaikum , Selamat Sejahtera and Hello everyone

Another Travel Post ! :D I can't believe myself that in less than 2 months , I've been traveled to 4 different countries . Turkey , UK , Singapore and UAE(I will not post anything abt UAE because I went to Mecca.So,I don't have time to actually analyse the place except the ever non-stop construction around Masjidil Haram)

Anyway , HAPPY MONDAY ! Some people hates Monday I do , but hey it is the start of the week . If you really hates Monday , try wearing something that can boost your confidence . This way , you will feel more excited whenever Mondays come . New clothes perhaps . Different style . Slightly over-rated make-up?hahahaha!!

Where on earth I'm going here?BACK TO THE POINT!

Okay , I uploaded a video in my youtube account . It's about my trip to Singapore with my best friend . Enjoy ! note : the video is in Malay .....and my recording skill sucks.big time :P

Sad story happened . I lost my planner where I put all the details including my budget . So sad . Like really sad . So , probably some of the things I'm going to share is not really accurate

Traveled to Singapore by bus is actually quite fun . We took Aeroline Bus . It's a double deck coach and very comfortable . They provide TV , meal , hot drinks and even toilet ! The total ticket is RM140 including tax . But bear in mind , the ticket price will change due to season . We took the 6AM bus from KL and arrived around 10AM . Arrived straight at Vivo City next to Harbourfront is very convenient . Because we took MRT to go to the place we stayed .

We stayed at Rucksack Inn @ Lavender St . In Singapore they have 3 different places . It is actually a backpackers hostel . So , you have to share the toilet or maybe room . But we rented Double Room and  it is slightly expensive than the others . SGD 98 per night . I have to say that this place is really nice . The receptionist are very helpful and friendly . The environment is just too awesome . If I'm going to Singapore again , I would stay here ! Eventhough in the web says it is near to MRT station and Arab Street , you seriously need bus . Really .

Our main reason,or my best friend's main reason to go to Singapore is actually because of Universal Studios Singapore . SGD78 per person . About food , all of the restaurant in there have halal logo . So don't worry about starving . USS is really fun ! Before this , I was really scared of heights and roller coaster . But after rode Cylon menyahahhahahaha  , I wanted to ride it again and again . Adrenaline rush I suppose . LoL

After USS , we hang out around Sentosa Island and then went to Marine Life Park . It's a aquarium . Very beautiful and calming . You know , after playing and had a very exciting day , a way to relax the mind and soul is by going to this kind of place . I really suggested it . Only SGD29 per person and it is really worth it .

Some tips.

1)Take The Singapore Tourist Pass if you travel using public transport like MRT , LRT and Bus . It saves money and you don't have to wait in line to get tickets . It is like Touch N Go but only for tourist . Depending on your stay in Singapore , the provide a day pass , 2days pass and 3 days pass . We bought the 3 days pass and ended up waste . Because I miscalculate . We should have just take the 2days pass >.< Anyway , you can get this pass at Harbourfront MRT Station

2)Buy tourist simcard  if you planning to save your line from roaming data . only for SGD15 . You can get it at Harbourfront . Find a convenient store named Cheers(if I'm not mistaken) before you go down the escalator to Harbourfront MRT station . It is near to the escalator

3)If you use smart phone , it is very convenient to install the Singapore map and MRT route . Since we did a budget travel , we avoid taking taxi . Eventhough travel buy bus and MRT was quite tiring(you have to change the MRT line etc) but it was really fun .

4)STUDY THE MRT AND BUS ROUTE !!!!!!! if you don't want to get lost



When I went to Singapore , I only have SGD800 to spend . And I spent roughly SGD500 . If you study more , you can save your budget more .

That is all about my trip to Singapore ! ^^ Surprisingly , my parents let me go somewhere far with my best friend . And we were both shocked because our parents are actually very strict about going anywhere . My mom does not let me go to the town with my friends before . LoL!! I'm okay about it though . You see , I know why my mom did that . She's afraid that I will get too socialise . I don't even want that . I prefer to go out with my family . p/s:because that way , I will not spend my money much xD


Hopefully , next stop is Thailand . I have been wanting to go there especially Bangkok and Krabi Island !!

Travel Post : Hello London

Assalamualaikum , Selamat Sejahtera and Hello

Okay,so in this post I will talk about my trip in London(finally..uarghhh) . We took flight from Istanbul to London . It was about 2 hours and half . Not that far :D As for London,we stayed for 7 days . Here is a funny story , when we arrived at Heathrow Airport , there are so many Japanese students.Like about 40 students or more wearing their school uniforms . My sister and I was so delighted to see them because they are so cute . Unexpectedly , we met them almost every time we were in London . My sister was like "If we meet them again today,it's a fate then"  LoL!

WINDSOR

Windsor Castle

somehow this remind me of Winter Sonata

Windsor actually situated about an hour from London . It is a lot quiet here and colder . And we met Japanese students again . 

MADAME TUSSAUDS

IT'S SO REAL THAT I ACTUALLY WANTED TO HUG TAYLOR ! WOLF TEAM FTW!

Madame Tussauds is actually a wax museum . It is really fun ! I really suggest you go here . Went there with my sister , my second brother and his wife . There is a part in this place call "SCREAM YOUR WAY OUT" . It is a haunted house which I closed my eyes all the way long . It is freaking scary okay?! The ghosts are moving!When I opened my eyes for a split second , I saw someone crawling towards me . OMG   T_T  Someone even breath really loud at my ears . GAAAAHH! Well,I know it's people but their make-up and clothes . uarghhhhhh. . Here's a tip , if you want to go here , buy the ticket online . IT IS A LOT CHEAPER . Trust me . You can also buy ticket for London Dungeon(I dare you guys go here.....),London Eye and Aquarium at the same time to get cheaper prices

STONEHENGE

Sadly , it was raining when we got here . So we can't actually enjoyed the trip . This place took about 2 hours from London and it is a waste actually . Do check the weather forecast before you come here please . Don't worry about tourist guide because once you enter , they will give you something like mp3 to listen . It is a guide which is very convenient .

GREENWHICH

You guys probably know Greenwhich Line right?  And this is the line . Cool right ? One more thing , British people call it Green-ish without the W . So practice guys

ROYAL ALBERT HALL

I'm not sure why the tourist guide brought us here but I know that Dato' Siti Nurhaliza perform here . It is such an honour for us Malaysian  :D

BUCKINGHAM PALACE

With my first sister-in-law

It is the Buckingham Palace !!! We got to see the changing of the guards . The guards didn''t wore the red uniform though . They wore grey uniform because it was winter . Interesting fact , the guards consists of five regiments . To differentiate them is by looking at their hat(?) , it has this napkin with colour represent the regiments . I am actually feels bad about the guards . They had to play the music in the cold weather !  ;A;  p/s:we met the Japanese student again

THE BIG BEN

Only the siblings and sisters-in-law went here because my parents went here countless of time ==' Well , it is my first time in London ! Not really , I went to London twice when I was 2years old..What on earth can I remember that time ? Anyway , The Big Ben was real nice because it is situated at the north end of Palace of Westminster . It is also located near the church where Prince William and Kate held their wedding . I had a video where the clock strikes 12 and my second brother was dancing to every bell . LoL ! It was really funny . Unfortunately , I can't transfer the video ....need to find a able or something .
p/s : met the Japanese student again . LoL!! And they were shocked to see us jumping in the middle of the field because no one step grass there xD

I think that is all from me . I shall post more pictures in the second post . As for now , *vanish like a ninja*

Things from London

Assalamualaikum , Selamat Sejahtera and Hello everyone !

It's been a while . I'm sorry . I have been going travel quite a lot . So I didn't have the time to update this blog . After I posted my post about my trip to Istanbul , I have been wanted to posted about my trip to London . But like i said , I have been slightly busy with travelling to other places .

Actually , I wanted to post about the London trip , but my pictures are in the other pappy . p/s:My dad bought me a new lappy :D weeeee~  I will post the London trip once I get back to Kuantan cause currently I'm in Kuala Lumpur

Back to the topic , here are some of the beauty things I got from United Kingdom

This is from my Istanbul trip actually :P portable perfume bottle

The products that I have bought

1.Smashbox Burlesque édition - This box contains
Limitless Liquid Liner Pen in Jet Black
~It is actually quite good and I love how it is a felt tip . But then it doesn't have strong ability of staying power unlike japanese eyeliner.JAPAN COSMETIC FTW!

Lipgloss in Peep/Show
~I am quite confuse because it I'm not sure which one is Peep and which one is Show . But I love the colour especially the red one because it is so sexy :D

Shadow & Liner Quad
~The colour is nice . they grey one is actually a liquid liner so it is quite awesome to make a base shadow

Loose Shimmer in Burlesque
~At first I thought it was purplish pink loose pigment but actually it is gold when I tested it . Probably it have some gold dust in it . FAIRIES!!!


2.Bobbi Brown Rich Lip Colour SPF12 in Desert Rose
~I LOVE THIS COLOUR THE MOST! I have been using it everyday when I was in London and when I got back , every time I'm going out , I would wear this . It gives this natural lip colour look . Not that pink or pale but in the middle . It is really nice .


3.Nars Blusher in Luster
~People probably know the best-seller Nars Blusher in Orgasm (such a sexy name they got there...hurmmm o_o) . I wanted to buy that but I think it is not suitable with my skin colour so I end up with Luster . This luster is actually nice with tan skin . It have this orangey bronze colour which is really nice . I seldom use bronzer because I don't like to do shading on my face but this is a different story . It gives a nice glow when I use it on my cheek bone ....shade and highlight is different . ignore my explanation :P


4.MAC brush 129
~It is made from horse tail hair O_O


5.Victoria Secret perfume Noir Tease
~LOVE THE SMELL ! It is so sexy but it doesn't last long enough T_T Really hope it last longer though .

Travel Post:Istanbul Aku Datang! -Part 2-

Assalamualaikum , Selamat Sejahtera , Hello and Merhaba!

PART 2 of my travel post in Istanbul.In this post I just want to talk about food.
People said foods in Turkey are the best because of the spices.Well,I don't really agree on that.
Most probably the food that our travel agent provide is not really suits my taste bud.But then what I love about Turkish food is that they use meats a lot :D  I love meats especially lamb..hihi

This plate consist of kebab and mini pizza which I think the best meal I had when I was in Istanbul.Unfortunately,this meal was also my last meal in Istanbul T_T

 ahhh,bread as appertizer.The restaurant will give us bread and any kind of soup like tomato soup(surprisingly,it is very delicious...OMG i'm drooling >.<) . Then followed by the main course

Have you heard about Turkish coffee and tea?I tasted both.The Turkish coffee is a very black coffee.They served in a small cup because people can't drink it a lot.My tourist guide said that fortune teller use Turkish coffee to tell fortune.I'm not sure in which Harry Potter there this scene where Harry Potter's teacher did that fortune telling thing.And of course my family doesn't believe it.While the Turkish tea is quite similar to black tea.Black tea used for Bubble Milk Tea..weeee~I love that thing xD

Turkish Tea

Turkish Coffee

Now come the sweet part.I think most of you know Turkish Delight right?Here are some tips,do buy Turkish Delight in the Spice Market and buy the one that made from honey.Turkish Delight is sweet ,chewy and come in different flavours .When I go to the Spice Bazaar , I was thrilled because there are so many Turkish Delight and tea.

How about Baklava?To tell you the truth,I don't like it.It is too sweet for me.I had one and a half and it made me dizzy.Real dizzy.I don't have the pictures and I'm sorry >.<

Tips:

1)Buy souvenir at the Spice Market and NOT at the Grand Bazaar.It is a lot cheaper

2)You can taste some Turkish Delight and tea at the Spice Market :D

3)You can do some bargaining

I think that is all.Sorry for the lack info though.

at the highest point in Istanbul ^^

Travel Post:Istanbul Aku Datang!

Assalamualaikum , Selamat Sejahtera , Hello and Merhaba!
I hope all of you had a splendid holiday :D
Today,I'm going to talk about something different from before.It is my so call travel note?haha!
anway,recently I went to Istanbul and London with my family.But in this post I will talk about Istanbul first

(All pictures credit to my sister..hihi)

Marmara Sea in the early morning when we arrived

Istanbul Aku Datang is actually a new malay movie.You should watch if you didn't yet.It is fun ! :D

Anyway,after I watched the movie,I was really excited to go to Istanbul not because of the movie but because of the beautiful places to visit.Please note that I can't really state the specific amount or price because my family and I went with travel agency. >.< The tourist guide that helped is Rukhiye.....which my dad said Rokiah in Malay.LoL!She is really nice and know every single detail of the Turkish history

We first land at the Ataturk International Airport on 15th December 2012 around 5AM.The sun just rise and it is indeed beautiful.The weather is quit cold though.Around 8degree i guess (where is that degree symbol? ;A;)

ignore the faces..haha!

The first place we visit was The Blue Mosque

The Blue Mosque or the real name is Sultan Ahmed Mosque was built from 1609 to 1616 under the rule of Sultan Ahmed I . The name blue is actually because of the interior and exterior consists of blue colour . Blue is actually my favourite colour!yippee!!

When we first arrived , there this one biiiiiiiig cat. So cute and human-friendly.haha!Then when walked around the mosque , we can spot so many cats..to anyone who hates cat , you're doomed >:D LoL!don't worry.Those fluff ball are harmless..... *evil smirk* and...dogs also.. >.<

my nephew~ ^^

After we visit the beautiful Blue Mosque , we went to Hagia Sophia,which is in front of the Blue Mosque

more cat ...LoL!

I have to say Hagia Sophia is actually my most favourite place to visit.The building and the history amazed me.From a church to mosque and now museum.every single detail of the architecture and arts in it have so many meaning.Just amazing.Really.If I write a post about this you guys probably bored...but but but HISTORY IS AMAZING! yes I love history eventhough I'm suck in it

Hagia Sophia have so many name such as AyaSofya or Sancta Sophia . It means Holy Wisdom...which at first I thought a name of a female.hihi.If I'm not mistaken , Hagia Sophia was built 1000years before The Blue Mosque, yet is is the most amazing building in the history . This is because Hagia Sophia is much more taller than other mosque . Can you just imagine how they built it? Wowww

Interesting fact and tips:

1)THERE IS SO MANY STRAY CATS AND DOG WHICH ARE SO ADORABLE!!!!!!BUT I LOVE CATS MOAARRRR!!

2)It's cold there...some other part in Turkey already snowed

3)If you learn history you will be amazed..really.Do some reading before you go to some country ^.~

4)You need to put you shoes in the provided plastic bags when you enter any mosque.So do wear shoes that easy to take off

5)Some of the places like Hagia Sophia and Topkapi Musuem have security check.So please do not bring anything harmful

I think I will end this post here.Will post another part soon.I wish I can tell you all the amazing history buuuuuuuuuuut, I don't you guys to get bored.ngahahahaha

At Ataturk International Airport
