Journal

Athens (transit)

-         ✩tanya gate apa kat information desk lepastu brader tu suruh lari

-         ✩lari lari naik connecting flight sampai nama kena panggil

CHECK transit time, like seriously. Mungkin juga sebab flight dari Cairo delay. We ALMOST didn’t make it to board the flight!! Haha. Lari sambil ketawa sebab dengar nama abah kena announce. “Ms. Jaulin” xD

·         Turkey
           ✩beg kena tinggal kat athens (p/s kalau transit bawah sejam, jangan letak beg kat baggage)

➠mula-mula ingat memang luggage lambat sebab transit skejap ja tadi kan

➠buat report dan dapat pilihan untuk luggage delivery ke airBnB ESOK atau datang airport balik malam nanti (next flight from Athens at 10Pmish rasanya). 

➠We decided to choose the later

·        ✩airBnB senang cari sebab ada landmark

➠mungkin sebab ringan, tiada backpack kan xD

·        ✩also, airBnB dia cool

➠first time masuk airBnB, sakai & rumah tu terus masuk list design rumah idaman

Minimalism at its best. Photo credit to Nakuden

·        ✩tanya kaKay n Nakuden ktorg makan x balik rumah tu?

                        ➠beli Ayran rasanya, haha. Asked them and I forgot again, lulz.

·         ✩pusing area rumah cari Istanbul Museum Pass

➠read here for more info about this card http://www.muzekart.com/en/museum-pass/about_27.html

➠tapi rasanya dulu search lagi link lain, ada yang bagi tips macamana boleh fully utilised the pass. GoGoGo!! Cari lagi, haha.

·        ✩dapat kawan anjing baru untuk Kay

·         ✩makan buah berangan

➠sedap! Sesuai makan masa ni sebab sejuk kan.

Nampak sedap kan? Atau kakak ni memang tengok semua makanan sedap? :p

·        ✩jumpak brader karpet, Omar

➠jemput datang kedai mereka. I'll add their bussiness card here next time, sorry.

➠extra comment pasal dorg ni

·        ✩makan balek ekmek (fish sandwich) kat Eminönü

➠ohemgeeeeee. Sedappppppppppppp xD

➠pekerja tu pandai (dan kacak) buang mostly semua tulang ikan

➠siram air limau, sedapppppppp

Fly me to Istanbul please!! Those are Ayrans in cup bottle(?) at the back. Credit to KaKay for the picture.
Wait, belakang tu abang hensem yang PANDAI BUKA TULANG IKAN CLEAN!! Hihi

·         ✩depa try ayran buat pertama kalinya

➠officially my kind of drink. kaKay macam x suka sangat. Rupanya dia bakal suka Bosnian Coffee more!! Hahaha

·         ✩explore hotel sana sini untuk beli museum pass, tengok tengok bila ke airport malam tu, baru perasan ada kiosk yang juai museum pass kat airport

➠habis kena bahan pasal ni. Tapi dapat view Blue Mosque dari 1 jalan ni

Tada!! Suka bila jalan-jalan terjumpa view macamni. Even the back of the Blue Mosque looks gorgeous :)

·        ✩trolley airport kena letak duit shilling

➠untuk masuk arrival hall tuntut beg, kena 1orang sahaja. Nasib Nakuden yang masuk, tegap sikit angkut 3 backpack sekali sebab yg pegang duit kaKay xD

·        ✩nasi impit hangit

➠setelah seharian jalan tanpa backpack yang simpan semua makanan, makan balik ekmek pun macam rasa mau makan Brahim lagi. Kami masak nasi himpit konon untuk sarapan

➠Guess what? Tertidoq!! Bangun pagi tengok2 hangit dengan bekas tu sekali. Thank God, stove elektrik. Kalau tidak, masuk muka depan suratkhabar Istanbul rumah terbakar, hahahaha.

➠Bau hangit 1 rumah susah mau kasi hilang. Lulz

·        ✩subuh kat masjid

➠sejukkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk xD tapi mana boleh fight dapat solat Subuh dalam Blue Mosque kan? Tenang ja rasa J

The muslimah section for the mosque situated at the back, okay?

·        ✩it's snowing!

➠Saya tungguuuuu snow turun, tengok weather forecast patut jam 3pagi snowing (sebab tu bangun awal dan sedar nasi himpit hangit, haha!). Siap ada imaginasi bangun pagi tengok luar tingkap, snowing!! Down juga la bangun tu teda pun snow, haha. Wait, I guess He have something better in store for me.

➠Guess what? The moment keluar Blue Mosque lepas solat Subuh, tiba-tiba sedar 1 benda putih kecil landing d winter coat. And I was, “kaKay, snow!!” hahaha. Indeed, perancangan Allah tu cantik gila, kan?

Just want to show you how quick the weather changed that day. Dari keseronokan rasa first snow fall, pigi kesusahan jalan sebab macam hujan tu snow. Haha.

·         ✩Shasha jumpak Puteri Anis

➠sebenarnya lupa ni bila, kalau kaKay n Nakuden ingat, tolong ingatkan bila. Haha

➠Cuma ingat masa ni ada pakcik minta tolong snap gambar depan Blue Mosque

·        ✩snowball fight!

➠Rasanya ini petang (masa azan Maghrib uolls, astaghfirullahhhhhh). Between Kay Khalid and Naqispear xD ada video, boleh PM kalau mau tengok, atau nanti la tunjuk (blackmailing, hehehe)

➠ada post d Insta story haritu. Masih senyum ketawa sendiri-sendiri bila tengok video tu xD

·        ✩breakfast depan masjid

➠Ini paling confirm ada kopi susu (Nescafe 3in1 la, haha)

➠Simmit pun!! Ada ja pakcik jual Simmit depan Blue Mosque. Sedap!! Saya macam lambat pickup cara sebut Simmit ni sampai keluar tutorial sebut as “Demmit, Simmit!!” hihi

·         ✩tak sempat makan mussel bebanyak T-T

➠ya Allahhhhhh. Sedapnya benda niiiiii. Nakuden cari mau bagi rasa dari day 1 tapi alhamdulillah rezeki kami exactly sebelum mau gerak naik feri. Hikmahnya? Kalau jumpa lagi awal, pokai!! Hahahaha

·        ✩lunch ataih feri tengok seagull

➠kami ja antara orang-orang kebal stay luar. Sejuk, haha. But it was fun. Masa ni memang dapat rasa suda “I’m feeling homesick to a place that is not even my hometown”. Haven’t leave you yet I feel that I’m gonna miss you so much after this (ayat ni ntah untuk Istanbul atau untuk si kacak tukang masak balik ekmek? Haha)

·        ✩salah bajet harga bas pi airport lepastu tak cukup duit (it's 10 lira)

➠ take note about this, please. Nanti ada yang lari ke ATM terdekat untuk withdraw duit. Haha. Cause we did!! Eh no, kaKay n Nakuden ja pegi lari, hahahaha.

·         ✩ada orang tertinggal jam

➠mula-mula ingatkan tertinggal. Rupanya tidak, ada orang tu tertinggal earphone. Lulz.

➠Tapi sekarang pun jam tertinggal somewhere in Egypt, huhu.

Through our apartment window. First day, it was raining. Second day, heavy snow. Last day, sunny.
Just like our favourite instant 3in1 Nescafe :)

Sejukkkkkkkkkkk.

Presenting to you my two other travel buddies :) The youngest on the left is Nakuden @ Dean @ Naqispears. The eldest in the middle is KaKay @ Khalulu @ Kay Khalid

So, done for our first pit stop Istanbul, Turkey. More to come, inshaAllah. Whoever you are out there that might read this, I hope it would benefits you in any way. Kalau tiada manfaat, istighfar cepat-cepat. Hahahaha

Those "Jurnal" part, we actually use this one app where we can share the notes and edit it by ourselves. Jadi jangan terkejut la kalau sekejap macam Gombak ayatnya, sekejap macam Kedah, lepastu macam Sabah. Sekejap bahan yang ni sekejap bahan yang tu. Hihi. I can say the jurnal act as our collective diary during the trip :) 

All the pictures are raw, without any editing. Lagi telus, hahahaha. Malas edit tu mengaku ja la. Yang ambil gambar cantik dan rajin edit hanyalah Nakuden. Lagi dua rajin edit kalau masuk Instagram, hihi. Sorry.

Till then, inshaAllah :)

I Can't Brain This.

Lelaki,
Bukankah harusnya kau membimbing?

Bila lemah hati ini,
Kau berbuat apa?
Bermain hingga puas?
Akhirnya,
Habis madu sepah dibuang.

Sepah?
Rasa seperti sampah,
Surat khabar di tepi pelusuk kaki lima,
Dibeli dengan murah,
Tidak sedap beritanya,
Lepas habis baca,
Kau buang begitu sahaja.

Lelaki,
Bukankah harusnya kau melindungi?

Lelaki,
Sebenarnya mahumu apa saja?
