37. Reality Check 1 : Glimpse peak at 2016

New Year had begin. It is finally 2017 .

I have to face the fact that i will be 28 this year .

Tons of things happened in 2016.

On the bright side, i travelled alot . (at least it considered a lot for me . at least)

Although i wish my pasport will have tremendous airport stamp like SNSD. too much k-pop idol influenced had penetrate my mind.

I went to Macau, Hong Kong, Seoul, Gyeong Ju, Busan and Siem Reap and 2 trip domastically. Macau and Hong Kong with Aida, South Korea with Azy, Brinda, Ibnor and Rahim, and Siem Reap with Nadia . 

Out of all i must said that Seoul is my favourite, the food and coffee was nice and the best of all, their cosmetics and skincare line. When i drop by seoul in Oct, and i accidently left my wallet in Natural Republic. Only Allah knows how shocked i am at myself. How on earth can i left it there. Luckily they realise and kept it for me when i rush back after realise it was gone. I have to rush from Dongdaemon to Insadong as the store was about to close in 1/2 hour. Such an experience.

Below are the crew that went together last April, we had great fun. with eating as well as cramping here and there. I guess that i will finished drafting my post for Seoul in few days . Hopefully.
If i lost my wallet in Insadong during OCT ?  In this trip, Ibnor lost his Passport and it remain LOST. The best thing will be the food, we had great amount of local food. We had Bimbimbap, Toopoki, Ondeng, Pajeon and seafood galore in Busan. Last but not least, unlimited coffee here and there. anyplace with lots of coffee will be my thumb up.

If i were  to talk about Hong Kong, the best will definitely be egg tart and dim sum . 100% sure that Aida will agreed with me too.  We had lots of fun in Disneyland, having ice-cream at Victoria Harbour, and Coffee and portugese egg tart 9the best egg tart ever) in Fisherman Wraft Macau . Indeed it was fun.

Siem Reap might be still recover under passed war happened but that doesnt make it a bad place for travelling. The ambience felt like Bangkok just with mre traditional feel. My trip with Nadia half lucky and half not. We aint lucky for with weather. It rain everyday but on the bright side, our room was upgraded from double to family suite. so overall, it was good.

Angkor Watt was amazing. It indeed one of the place that u have to go. We rushed there to catch sunrise view. but apparently, it was cloudy and the sun feel shy that day as coud take over the place.

Four of my friend got hitched last year. Zila in May (she is 7 Months pregnant now) , Sarah and Syahizzat ceremony was back-to-back from one another, Kecik in Nov and Niko close the curtain for last year. After growing up, Sarah is the first wedding where i practically participate apart of Kak Ted and Kak Bod. i used to feel that i might make their wedding photo ugly if i being part of it. Maybe i have huge insecurity about looks but then i realised that some people just want to share the happy moments with their close and cherish person.
Lets prayed that all of them will be happyly ever after till heaven.

Kak Bod delivered her baby last June. Baby Eid-Mubarak . Amanda is such a lovable cute baby. I believed abah will be very happy if he can see her. Her baby experienced was very unique. Indeed after contraction in Muar. They send her straight to Pantai Hospital Bangsar. Many kept asking her on her decision to not having her baby Muar or KPJ Melacca instead. After all, as she had being hospitalised in Pantai for lungs infection last 2 year, it made perfectly fine reason as they have her record, we never know it she might had short of breath while delivering. In Islam, baby delivering almost as same as soldier fight in war. So, we should never terminate the probability that might occured. 3 days contraction and walla.

even rainbow will only appered after rain. Hwever my 2016 was full with thunder and rainstorm.

In May 2016, i lost my Father. As much as we love him. Allah loves him more. Allah end his pain after stroke. All we can do is pray for the best for his here after. May we met in heaven. We should polish our deed so that we can meet him later.  18 Jan 2017 will be his first birhday that we have to celebrate without him .

I love you. Abah .

Rizq, fortune, Wealth come in many form. I might take my crazy steps. but all we can do is pray for the best . I believe that there will be rainbow after every rain.

The best cup of coffee will only come after hardship of roasting it. So the best in us will come . later.


The end of my 2016.
May 2017 be a better year .

Sayonara.
