MELAKA RIP MY MONEY ON LACK OF PLANNING

Assalamualaikum everyone!

WARNING THIS TRIP WASNT PERFECTLY PLAN HECK WE DIDNT PLAN AT ALL. 

Before hand, if any of my friends are reading this, i would love to beg for forgiveness since this trip was plan  for three which is syera, firza and i not the whole geng.

Recently, i went to Melaka after third year final exam. Like legit right after the exam. but not really because we had to recover our sleep first from all the stay up late during exam thingy. Still am tryna fix my schedule months later.........
 
As usual, I shall start with the itinerary...

7:30 PM Terminal Bersepadu Selatan
9:30 PM Reached Melaka kinda went to the river cruise place that is almost close so no more rides
11:15 PM Checked in Hotel 
11:45 PM Dinner 
1:30 AM Sleep

The next day

7:30 AM Getting Ready
9:15 AM Journey Started
9:40 AM St. Paul
10 AM Afamosa
11 AM Brunch
12:30 PM Klebang
1:30 PM Pahlawan Market for dodol
3 PM Solat at Public Surau
3.30 PM Afternoon Drinks in front of Menara Besar
4 PM Checked out from Hotel 
4.15 PM Wall Photography
4.45 PM Melaka Sentral
5.30 PM Back to KL


Honestly this isnt the best itinerary. So here is another list more like interesting places to go for a hipster trip and not a historical trip but then should i do Melaka 2.0 trip? lol i think not lowkey hate going to the same place twice cause i just feel like there is so much more this world have that is needed to be explore.

Alternative day trip.

Roti Canai Kayu Arang for breakfast
Afamosa and St Paul
Medan Ikan Bakar Sg Duyung for lunch
Encore Melaka for fantastic Instagram photo
Klebang Original Coconut Shake known for its must try
Melaka Straits Mosque known as masjid terapug maybe for sunset
Head back to wherever you are from

Im not sure where exactly the places are either close or not to one another. However if you are somewhere far from Melaka, I really recommend to stay over AND ALSO I JUST KNEW THAT JONKER STREET IS ONLY OPEN DURING THE NIGHT OF FRIDAY SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. 

So plan plan plan and hands down get a place to stay somewhere at Jonker area and by that being said JUST GO TO 

Two of my lovely friend who is willing to always put up with my behavior 

*disclaimer totally not sponsored

We kinda checked out late so we had to pay an additional RM20. As usual check out time should be at 12 but the hotel was kind enough to give free rate until 2PM but after that it will be charge at RM20 per hour. I mean im not complaining for RM50 per night share by three people man to me that is a bargain just try not to checked out late to avoid additional cost if you are trying your best to stick to your budget. 

Total money fly throughout the whole trip 💸💸💸
*personal

IT WAS BUDGETED TO A TOTAL OF RM100 O-N-L-Y

I kinda didnt manage to obey because we went in Melaka Parade or some sort i cant remember which mall but yeah i got carried away with the cheap blouse and i bought one for sissy too. This is another calculation format for a more understandable manner which i doubt actually but you get the point

Grab 11.7
Hotel 23
Bus pergi dan balik 11.7 + 10.7
Subway 10
Watermelon infront of menara besar 8
Makan malam at a small "kedai mamak" 6
Makan tengahari at the area of pantai klebang which i dont recommend 7.8
Klebang shake 3 *i dont think the place i went was the recommended one
Baju blouse 32 for two so it was 16 per each
Ecolite water at Guardian 5
Mineral water 3

= RM131.90

Did i do my math right?

Yep minus the unnecessary shopping and you are good to go on a budget below RM100.

On a side note, i personally think Melaka is great for people who loves Museum and history. 


That is it guys! hope to see you in the next journey!

Thanks for reading! <3

I believe in Allah more than i believe in you (regret)

If you ask me about the things i regret doing certainly i wouldnt answer loving you because eventhough you left, you will always be a lesson to me. Even if there is, i definitely regret for not loving you enough. For not doing all the things i should hv done with you and for you when us was still a thing but sadly us is no longer. I mean like honestly was us ever a thing?

I might be crazy but you are the kind of pain that i like the most. They say pain is temporary so i shall endure this with an open heart. Because sooner or later this pain will be replace by something greater either in a good way or vice versa but nothing is for sure definitely. Anyway how far true can you trust your belief that the next temporary pain will be a whole lot less painful?

You wont understand these words im gonna say because well apparently you dont feel the same way. But i hope when us is no longer a thing you would read this with tears in your eyes because finally you understood. And when that time comes there is no such thing as better late than never because i have had enough and it is finally the time where it is indeed too late.

Now stop weeping because im already back on my feet loving someone who actually deserve my unconditional love rather than someone who took my love for granted.

Anyhow we keep on obsessing finding the perfect human love when Allah's love is infinity surely pure and always reciprocate.

quick update

I have many writings pending and one of it is another food review which is FIN and TAIL.

Also im thinking of doing a boba review since it is the current hype.

FOOD FOOD FOOD

**************

Other than that i got exams to study for and i hope it is not too late to wish SELAMAT HARI RAYA.

As days pass by im writing in a much more odd manner.

Also i hvnt been doing UNTOLD STORY lately the last one was dated way bacckkk. this is the latest one 

Untold Story (4)

Unmotivated? Lost inspiration? No longer creative? 

Life got into the way guys.

Also my last i wrote it for a friend was in the year 2018 wow i just realize its like half a year already. I need to come up with a new adviseeee or so . idkman. its sketchy. this is the latest one. I wrote it for a friend. ~6~


anyhow

MONDAY CLASS IN THEE MORNINGGGG

Itsy bits...

Jetty Tan
i suggest to go breakfast first because there are some Jetty that open at 9 am but then again you wouldnt be able to see the sunrise

The Roti Canai Transfer Road
I dont recommend this place bcz foreigner experience RM8 when it is RM7.60 and they had only one option for food bcz the place was too crowded. Curious with the one roti Benggali shop around that area. Besides the only option serving was too big portion for me for breakfast it consist of a big thigh chicken, roti canai telor flood with curry. man roti canai telor itself is 356 cal and a healthy breakfast should only be less than 300 cal. So i didnt eat there but my friend did. My breakfast that day? Had a glass of teh susu and Walnuts i bought at a random shop around Kapitan area.

I forgot to mention this was a trip under Mahasiswa Penang UKM so i had to pay RM150 fee.

Total Money fly out
*personal

RM150 (bukit bendera, war museum, hotel, transport, breakfast 16/3, Khoo Kongsi) + RM5 (bihun sup daging) + RM15 (kapitan nasi kandar) + RM19.80 (fruitmade) + RM5 (mee sotong) + RM15 (horse riding with my friend on the same horse) + RM5 (shared pasembur) + RM6 (walnuts) + RM6 (nasi kandar kampung melayu) + RM56.30 (jeruksss) + RM3.50 (harolds bread) + RM4 (mee rebus sotong shared)

= RM 290.60

Did i do my math right?

Along the way i spend money on expensive mineral water like RM2.50 per 1.5ml but a gurl gotta do what she gotta do and that is to stay hydrated.

THIS ENTRY TOOK ME 2 HOURS LONG TO WRITE AND I HAVE SLIDES FOR AUDIT LANJUTAN TO SIAPKAN UTK BESOK IM SCREWD WHY DID I SLEEP IN THE EVENING BCZ WELL IT IS JEREBU OUTSIDE AND MY BodY COULDNT TAKE IT.

That is it guys! hope to see you in the next journey!

Thanks for reading! <3

An untold story (4)

Rain drops pour,
A girl with her eyes full of tears,
She comes from a family so poor,
She lives with a lot of fears,

What is the fate of her siblings,
What will happen to their studies,
How can she replace the leaking ceilings,
She wants to be like the other families,

Where living in a concrete house is a norm,
Where driving a car instead of walking miles is a norm,
Where studying is a norm,
Where working at an early age is no where to be seen.

How to change the fate of her family without leaving home,
She wants to go to Nome,
She even wants to travel to Rome,
However the road to her dream is no where to be seen.

Dream and fate can collide,
I hope you will still be able to enjoy the ride,
One day, i need you to find your light,
If not, then it is time to be your own knight.

LANGKAWI RIP MY MONEY ON CHOCOLATE

Assalamualaikum everyone!

Did i do my math right?

Along the way i spend money on mineral water too because a girl gotta stay hydrated.

Okay that is all for today. I'm thinking of posting some pic here but i think i will do a photo collection on my FB page.

Until the next entry i hope you guys are doing well at being a fighter.

Also who knows how to insert song or music on blog? i kinda got rid of mine and now i dont know how to re-install it. Please let me know if you know how. Thanks!

If it werent because of you i wouldnt be the person i am today *1*

How to say I wanna be friends with you without sounding desperate?
How can I say I wanna be friends with you when that was all we ever had been?

It feels like i have so much catching up to do with you
It feels like i have so much things to talk about with you

The things that cant be spoken online..

I just dont know where to start from..
But honest speaking, is there really anything left unspoken..

I wanna tell everything about me now
But every word might mean nothing to you
Completely useless phases..

I mean like why should I
Do I really wanna talk to you or am I just reminiscing the memoirs that we had together

Im writing as if we actually shared strong bonds together.
Believe me up until now i still wonder what would it feel like to actually have an hour talk with you face to face.

Not that kind of dreamy 3 minit talk,
Where our hearts goes racing too fast
Where our eyes try to avoid gazes because we are too shy
Where our voices become somewhat high pitch but yet still softly spoken
I need an hour convo with you irl just for the both of us.

Would that make any difference? Honestly?

Yet here i am thinking wouldnt it be nice to have a ldr
Connecting via online
When we meet once in awhile
We care for each other as if it was the first & the last time seeing each other again
Expressing the miss that we felt for each other

Honestly is there such thing as distance makes the heart grow fonder?

I was wondering... what took you so long to get in-touch with me
Why now?
Why not then?
Why is it when you are already seeing someone?

You really have the habit to show up whenever you want.. Dont you?
Well I talk as if i was so good and solely did good things to you, for you.
I guess i wasnt so great after-all.

I wanna be mad, get angry and what not
But on a second thought i think why should I

Do i really have the right to feel all of this?

Does this mean i still care?

Do you still care?
wait let me rephrase that
HAD YOU EVER CARED?

I just wish you fought for me a little harder.
I just wish you love me a little longer.
I just which that you care enough for me.

I guess you never did any of those, I was just being delusional and irrational.

Or maybe you did everything
You did fight for me
You did love a little harder and longer
You did care for me enough

I was too blind to see & too greedy for wanting more

It has been years and all you can say is remember when this remember when that..

What am i
You show up whenever you want
You dig memories i try to erase whenever you want

You must think you are the king to do what ever you want..
You think you are so powerful arent you?

I,
On the other hand am brushing everything off as if it werent so important...
Well i must say that im being a hypocrite
For a person to brush everything off as if it was nothing when in fact the box of us i still kept.

Why am I still holding onto something I shouldn't?

Pathetic I know
Coward I know

Im saying all of this as if i still care right.

Do i really care?
I dont know.

Why am I playing victim here?
I also dont know.

But honestly i cant deny one thing, you were indeed a part of me.

Yes, every single emotion was real
Well at least to me

You were there when I grow up
How could I ever move on from that?

I guess im always stuck in this emotional pain that i created for myself and by myself.
They say pain is temporary. Is that true?

You have the ability to be ahead of me for everything.

I wish success for you.
I wish happiness for you.
I wish all the good things in life will land to you.

I know at the beginning of this entry i had said that,
I dont know where to start..
But i actually know exactly where to start

It's just that we were apart with no modern tech,

I wish things would have been easier for us.
Maybe it has never been difficult
We are the ones who make it complicated

No let me rephrase that

I wish my ego isnt so much a pain in the $$$$.

With love, from Ara

Workout Snacks - whatZburning

(5:43 PM)

Assalamualaikum and a very good evening dear readers..

This is gonna be my first 'whatZburning' entry where i will be posting recipe that might be interesting and easy for you to follow!

As for today i made a no-bake pre/post workout snack/ healthy snack/ protein snack/ energy snack.
I also dont know what to called it.

Ingredients:
3/4 cup of muesli *or any granola cereal of your choice
1 quarter cup of oatmeal *anykind
2 handful of cashew nuts chunks *or anykind of nuts desirable

1 whole banana (medium size)
1 tablespoon of  peanut butter *or to your liking
1 tablespoon of honey *or to your liking
15ml milk
15ml extra virgin olive oil


Steps:

1. Mix all the dry ingredients together.

2. Add the mash banana into the mixing bowl.

3. HOT TIP pour the milk into a measuring utensil first then put it into the mixing bowl. Next, use the same measuring utensil to measure the extra virgin olive oil. This will help to make sure the utensil will be easy to clean afterwards.

4. Add all the other liquid ingredients into the mixing bowl. Milk can be optional if you are trying to go for a diary free snacks. Im not sure about the other ingredient tho. Would there be diary in peanut butter?? Sorry im not very good at this but note that the ingredients doesnt have to be 100percent as stated above.

5. Adjust consistency to your liking if it is too mushy add more oats/granola, if it is too dry add more liquid ingredient of your choice.

6. Take an ice cream scoop and scoop it out into balls.

7. Place it in the refrigerator for 30min and you are good to eat! Enjoy!

On a side not i think if you add some cinnamon powder might be nice since it will bring out the banana flavor more. Also if you are someone who likes their snacks to be a little bit salty, I think it is okay to add a pinch of salt...

Will update the pictures later!

I think i should stop here and i'll see you guys in my next post. <3

Thank you for reading! :)

GOODLUCK TRYING!💋 

An untold story (3)

All of my feelings are jumble up,
All of my emotions are mix up,

In order to smile from a frown,

It feels like im forever thirsty,
Feeling so unworthy,

Holding me close,
Without any fear,
Im being so lose,

An untold story (2)

exam week

i havent been writing lately and i miss writting so here i am.

i miss doing poems.

i wanna write so bad.

i have been so uncreative.

i feel stupid.

okay it is 2019 already.

good vibes and only good vibes please.

so here goes nothiing!

There were days,
I would listen to people talking,
What can i say,
I am obsess with perfecting.

I heard you call my name,
You told everyone that i am no longer the same,
You make me look like i am all for the fame,
Honestly you are doing the same,

In a world like today,
No one is sane,
Believe me when i say,
There is no one lane,

So if i change my name,
Would you talk about me the same,
Have they got no shame,
Rekindling the similar flame.

-AidaSarah-
