So, the day after I got back from my hometown, my aunt cucuk-ed me to follow her to KL because there will be a book exhibition on that week in The Mines. I asked her, what kind of book exhibition was it. It was Big Bad Wolf.

The one that I've been wanting to go since forever!

At first, I hesitated either to go or not since it has been quite some days I left my family and I thought maybe it's the time for me to spend my time with my family. But, when I went upstairs, took a few minutes (well, technically I was thinking so hard), slowly packed my clothes and toiletries, thinking

"Ini je peluang yang aku ada, no turning back dah. Lepasni tak dapat dah." and a few seconds after I thought of that, "Tapi, nanti...." , and the syaitan and my inner nafsu started to hasut me, "alah takde nanti nanti, pergi je"

But, yes more buts. About a few days before, I did ask my mama to let me go to the BBW, but it seemed that it was not approved so I had to make my decision by not going there. I was super upset because I've never been there even though it was held at Ipoh about early this year but I didn't get the chance to go there due to some issues lol so I wiped my tears at the bucu of my bed, well it's a bluff lah just want to make this story sounds more interesting. yu know books are lyfe?! I love reading. I love reading especially novels. I started loving them after I read World War Z by Max Brooks. That was the time when I thought, "Novels do have their thanngg~" 

And I love reading ever since.


After I packed my clothes, we went for lunch at Seoul Garden, and I was really excited just by thinking that I finally can go there, CAN ACTUALLY GO THERE wow I slapped myself a few times just to make me believe that I'm living in the real world. And it was hurt though. It was a terrible move.

For those of you who don't know, Big Bad Wolf is a book exhibition where they sell books for about a week or two for 24 hours, non-stop. The books are very affordable and reasonable as it is so much cheaper compared to the price they put at the normal bookshop. I think it was about 70%-90% cheaper. You can get your normal 40 ringgit book at the price of 10 ringgit here. Wowowowowoowowowowo. It was held at The Mines Exhibition Hall. We were so happy.

After all the yada yada, I stayed for 4 days in KL and on the last night we were there, we had decided to go to the Mid Valley before taking off to BBW. The main reason to go there was to just jalan jalan as it was much nearer to my aunt's house before we met our another aunt. speaking of our, I went there with my cousin.


So, we went to the Mid Valley. It was quite packed considering it was Saturday. Was it Saturday? Wait, I totally forgot what the day was. Can really see the melayu-ness inside of me. Never mind lah, eventually, it was packed. Then, we were extremely hungry and decided to eat at Dubu-yo. And the inner kpop of myself starts to popping out as if I will meet any idols there. In your dream lah, in your dream!

We headed to the basement, and saw Elianto had a sale going on which it had this special promotion gift set starts at RM19. So I was thinking, "Hm, that's quite reasonable considering it's Elianto. Maybe I should buy the gift set to give it to...myself." So, we decided to singgah after we eat.

We went back and forth searching for the restaurant. Kejap masuk kanan, kejap masuk kiri. If we were driving a car on that time, we will get honked on. Or maybe even an Om Telolet Om. Malaysians and Indonesians are really kelakar and great on making things go viral. Okay, so we walked for about 15 minutes and we even used Google Maps just to find the direction, ridiculous! and it was a fail. Damn.




And finally, we arrived after 20 minutes.

Yes, we walked for almost half an hour just to eat this thing.

And I ate Rabokki just for your information. It was okay lah, just not hot enough for me since I have the melayu side of me which I really love spicy food. Lol. As if you're the only melayu in this world, duh. I wanted to eat rice but this meal attracted me even better. So I chose you. Look, even food had me in kaku-ness. Frankly, I thought it was spicy, since I've tasted tteokbokki that my friend brought, and it burnt me a little bit. But, this? More to the sweet and spicy-ish side. My suggestion is, change the recipe a little bit by putting sambal belacan. It would be nice. And my inner melayu will be happy.

Actually, we wanted to watch movie. But, since we arrived at the Mid Valley quite late, and we have train to catch, so we decided to ditch that plan and went for a walk instead.

Oh ya, Elianto! So, after we ate our lunch, we went there and asked the salesperson if is there any gift set that I can choose. As an Elianto newbie, I've never bought anything from Elianto or even have worn them. So, you can see my silly-ness and the-so-berlagak-malaysians you ever see as if you know everything lolz. So, the salesperson or I put her as kakak here. The kakak said they never sell gift set as if it's a gift set. You know what I mean? Macam gift set dekat The Body Shop, kita pilih set, then we can wrap or put a card or ribbon or something like that lah. So the kakak brought us inside and said that we can choose any of the makeup products where the price starts at 19 ringgit. 19 ringgit for a lipstick, 19 ringgit for an eyeliner and it went higher and higher. So, I was like "Oh, memang takde ye gift set yang macam banyak banyak tu?" and the kakak replied, "Yes, we don't have that" and I replied, "Oh, I thought you have. It's okay lah, we'll just look around. Thank you." ( the sentence we gave when we don't want to buy anything but don't want to look so bitchy by not buying anything )

Tahu pun malu. Padan muka.

After a few hours there, we went to the Komuter station and bought our token(?) and went to Serdang. When we arrived there, okay here's a funny story. yes, again. This trip was so funny and totally burnt our japchae and rabokki.

We took off the train and went up to the pedestrian bridge because our aunt's friend said that we have to walk through the bridge and go straight then you'll find it there.

But, we found nothing.

T_T


Okay, then, after we called her yada yada yada, we asked a random guy the direction to The Mines because it seemed near yet it's far. It was on the seberang sana and we were not crazy enough to cross the hectic road. Eventually, there's a tunnel in this some kind of a hospital or a therapy house I don't know lah I was so tired I want a mineral water at that time. Again, we then asked a guard there the direction to the tunnel because it looked so dark there and so scared if there's might be any monster there and I tak sempat nak larikan diri since have so much fat on my body that it might fell off.

But, the reality was beyond our expectation. It had so many colourful lights there and why do we even scared? We even ran and followed a random car that entered the tunnel as if we wanted to enter the 9 3/4 platform (get it get it?). We shouldn't have done that. It was silly lol.

What I love the most is there will be no books on my bed anymoreeeeeee, that's like a joy and the cherry on top of my year. I already packed my books in a box and some of them I gave them away to my cousin who will be sitting for spm next year and there are some books that I put on sale since I didn't use them at all (there are still 3 books left if you wanna buy them just dm me on twitter @amninano) as I just had too many book and didn't have time to read all of them like literally they are just there, wrapped nicely, sitting on my shelf wow so relax you eat nasi kandar eh there? not a bit of fold, and the most epic is the bau kedai is still there. you know bau kedai, when you bought something new and it has this kinda its own scent which we called it 'bau kedai' and it's the most appealing smell evah

• Prep your sahoor meal the night before, just a simple snack, macam roti, kacang, kurma or even more fancier, play with your food. spreads peanut butter on your crackers, or nutella, anything you want. and dont forget your beverage, which i suggest to take milk or 2 glass of plain water to keep yourself hydrated throughout the day. Wrap your meal with a plastic wrap so you won't trap any germs in your foods. Letak sebelah katil, so bila alarm bunyi nanti, bangun, duduk atas katil, makan makanan yang korang dah siapkan semalam lepas terawih tu. Serious talk, even with a small amount of food, but with proper amount of nutritions and as long as you are full, you are good to go! sebab nak makan sampai kenyang sangat buat apa, nanti subuh tak larat nak bangun.

 by the way, kurma is good for you. Kurma helps to keep yourself full. So, don't forget your kurma! or for subtitute, any raisins or nuts :) and kurma is delicious mehhhhh. personally, i'm not a fan or kurma before, but i learn and learn to love kurma, and now i love kurma soooo much! too many love word staph it

Well, i didnt get a chance to complete my quran every year bcs of my 'girl thing', but ive tried and so far, as long as you istiqamah with what you do, you are good to go! and one more, 30 days in ramadhan equals to 30 juz in Quran, so a juz a day, would be good, right?  Keep in track by creating a schedule, and list-to-do, once you are done, erase or just simply put a tick on the task.

Second ; Solat terawih

• Bawak air, especially air kosong. to keep yourself hydrated during the rakaat. our body tends to be tired after 4 rakaat or so, minum air frequently. bawak kismis, sebagai kudapan sementara tazkirah masa terawih, tapi janganlah bawak satu balang seperti tiada hari esok. itu bukan kudapan, itu ku dakap tanganku di mukamu nanti. just a nice amount would do the job. 

 yeah. thats all gambar yang ada. bhahahahhaha bcs im the photographer on that day so there's no picture of me running or alone or taking the medal whatsoever. bcs the camera was with meyhhh. ada gambar candid, tapi buruk bebeno rupa takde nak letaknya kat sini nanti kena bash hahahhaha.

 after almost a year, i got to meet my bestfriends, girlfriends (except that handsome chinese fellow yang baru kenal hari tu HAHAHHA) dia punya rindu jangan cakaplah, bila takde depan mata, mulalah, lagi lagi masa mula mula masuk sekolah baru, takde diorang, and whenever saya rasa down and i need them, they are not in front of me. tough life, act.but, i have to move on. because, life must go on (cliche amni, cliche sangat padahal tak boleh move on for the first 3 months)






overall, alhamdulillah, 2015 has been a great year for me. banyak benda yang berlaku either in a good or bad way, and i took the bad sides as my pengajaran to not ever repeat the same mistake, again, well insyallah. actually, banyak lagi benda yang berlaku, but im not gonna penuhkan dalam entry ni dengan gambar yang tak proper dan hodoh belakerrr. thank you allah for giving me chances untuk bernafas sepanjang 2015, family, for giving me everything. friends, cherish my life every single day, buku buku dan homeworks yang dah siap mahupun yang masih lagi tertangguh sampai sekarang, thank you.
