Travelling : Visiting Uniquely Jogjakarta (•ˆ⌣ˆ‎​​​​•)

Jogjakarta was choosen as my holiday destination this time!with my husband and my friend-amha el hassan- who's living here,I have explore this lovely city.

Jogjakarta at present is a place where tradition and modern dynamics are going on together continously. A unique combination of ancient temples,history,traditions,
culture and natural forces make Jogjakarta as very worthwhile place to visit.

First place was visiting Taman Sari (The Water Castle), this photos was taken @Kenanga Island is actually a compound comprising of Sumur Gemuling (below the stairs) and underground tunnels.


Still in the same place,but I have to going upstairs to get into this place,,look how amazing this hareempants effect the location!!

The Prambanan Temple,located 17km from the city center, you will see the extraordinarily beautiful building constructed souring  up to 47 meters (5 meters higher than Borobudur temple),,it was too hot when the photos was taken!but the temple soo amazing ;)

Accompanying with my husband feel like we can imagine how the story of Prambanan temple was..(how a man named Bandung Bondowoso loved Roro Jonggrang. And will built her a temple with 1,000 statues only in one-night time.

First thing u must note if u want to visit museum in Indonesia is : never going there on MONDAY!Yeahh,coz it closed,,so u must going there on tuesday to sunday :)
But I still can get my pose in front of historical "Museum Benteng Vredeburg",it was built by the Dutch government in 1765.
 

Last but not least of visiting Jogja is learning the culture of Hand-made Batik!I have painted Batik by myself,its enjoy and an interesting when I had valuable opportunity to learn the marvelous Batik art work.

That's all for now
Jogja,what a nice place to visit,I love Indonesia :)

Bercakap pasal hadiah

Assalamualaikum

Setiap kali balik ke mesia, aku takkan lupa untuk beli souvenir atau present buat kawan-kawan baik dan family. Nak nak kalau aku pergi travel, for sure aku akan beli souvenir untuk mereka-mereka yang kusayang. Tak kiralah mahal atau murah, bergantung status ekonomi aku pada masa tu. Kalau aku betul-betul sesak pon, paling koman aku akan belikan keychain. 


Tapi masa pergi Bali haritu, dekat receptionist area satu hotel ni, depa ada la letak postcard for free atas counter. Ala yang macam, please take one tu. Kira boleh la ambik sebijik dua untuk buat kenangan. Tapi boleh plak aku amek segenggam kan, dengan harapan tak payah beli souvenir. Jimat duit aku hihi. Tapi entah dimana silapnya, aku misplaced postcard tu dan terpaksalah jugak aku beli souvenir di kedai-kedai yang berdekatan. Dem. Padan muka aku.


Dulu, aku segan giler nak belikan hadiah untuk parents aku. Aku fikir macam ah mesti depa tak pandang aih hadiah picisan aku. So, setiap kali birthday ke, aku akan playsafe dengan membelikan hadiah berupa frame & perhiasan. Tak berani aku nak belikan hadiah macam baju ke, electronic ke takut depa pandang rendah. (Tak baik giler bersangka buruk dengan parents sendiri haha). 


Tapi sejak dah masuk alam 20-an ni, aku pegi mana-mana pon mesti teringat kat mak ayah aku. Macam aku makan kerepek pisang keju, terus aku terfikir nak belikan mak aku, nak suruh dia rasa. Walaupun kerepek tu apalah sangat. Tapi tulah, aku nak belikan jugak. Tengok bebudak laki ni pakai polo shirt (kat FO banyak jual) aku pon dok kepochi nak belikan ayah aku jugak. Bagi aku, kita jangan tengok benda yang kita bagi tu, tapi kita tengok keikhlasan hati yang memberi.


Macam itu hari, syukur alhamdulillah duit nuffnang aku masyuk la jugak, jadi aku kongsi rezeki tu dengan mak aku. Aku belikan dia set penjagaan muka Mary Kay. Menitik jugaklah air mata mak aku sebab terharu. Pehh tengok air mata mak sendiri jatuh berjujuran buat aku goyang seketika. Kalau nak ikutkan hati, mau je aku shed a tear tapi aku act macam cool la kan. Apa barang nangis depan mak. Cukup-cukup ah masa kecik dulu merengek. Aku dah 22 la der. LOL. Padahal bila homework tak siap pon nangis haha!


Lagi satu, macam korang dah tau. Aku ada 1 abang dan 2 adik lelaki. Ketiga-tiga ni memang cerewet gila terutama abang & asfiq. Tak cantik tak mau pakai. Tak sedap tak mau makan. Tak best tak mau tengok. Susah giler nak puaskan hati depa ni. Dulu memang aku tak layan ah belikan hadiah kat depa ni, buat sakit hati jer. Aku beli, duit aku habis, aku lagi kena kutuk sebab takde taste. Tapi tu cerita dulu, zaman-zaman highschool, zaman dimana hati aku ni amat sensitif ibarat serpihan kristal yang bertaburan di persisiran pantai. OK tak dramatis langsung aku susun ayat.


Sekarang ni aku dah cukup kental dari segi mental dan emosi. Aku gigihkan jua semangat aku untuk membeli hadiah buat jejaka bertiga ini despite segala tohmahan yang diberi. Setiap kali aku balik, aku akan belikan 5-6 branded t-shirt (beli kat FO jer murah hihi) untuk abang & han. Aku longgokkan kat hall, aku suruh depa pilih. Nasib a. Untuk asfiq pulak, biasa aku belikan mainan. Alah budak kecik, senang giler nak amek hati.


Cakap pasal kawan baik pulak, tang datin & nani ni memang senang tahap kacang menglembu. Belikan ja apa-apa semua depa suka. Macam aku kan balik mesia jarang-jarang, so by the time aku balik tu, ada la jugak 4-5 hadiah aku bagi kat depa ni. Yelah dah kumpul-kumpul souvenir pi travel tu semua kan hee. Depa pon bukan main jugak takmo kalah. Macam itu hari, datin bagi aku satu beg yang penuh dengan hadiah yang dia dah kumpul-kumpul untuk beberapa bulan hehe. Excited aku. Macam menang cabutan bertuah la pulak. Dengan nani pulak, tak kira lagi hadiah birthday, hadiah friendshipday, hadiah whatsoeverday. Teehee. 


Syukur sangat aku dikurniakan kawan-kawan & keluarga yang sentiasa ingat kat aku walaupun aku ni jauh diperantauan wuwuw. Tak sabaq rasanya nak pulang ke tanahair dan amek hadiah-hadiah yang depa dah belikan ni hehe......



 Jersey mesia yang baru! Thanks datin & ibu kepada datin!


 
Totebag & Coin Purse from Forever 21 ! Thanks kepada seseorang itu hehe!


Ipod Touch! Thanks ayahkusayang muah muah!


Kalau kita ikhlas bagi kat orang, orang pon insyaallah ikhlas bagi kat kita :) Nak nak parents & ahli keluarga. Banyak pahala kita dapatkan sebab menggembirakan depa. So jangan berkira sangat nak memberi. Sesungguhnya tangan yang memberi itu lebih baik daripada yang menerima. Tapi kalau nak bagi jugak, aku terima jer dengan hati & tangan yang terbuka haha!

Thank you for reading this entry !

A full weekend

The 2nd Annual Anatolian Arts & Culture Festival (organised by the Istanbul Culture & Arts Centre) took place at Docklands this weekend. I wasn't really able to enjoy it to the fullest, because I had a stall at the event and was working.

I don't know what I would have done if I didn't have help. It was sooooo tiring. I would like to use this opportunity to thank my mother, husband, sister, and niece for helping me this past weekend. I seriously think I would have left early as I caught a cold and yeah, I mentioned it was very tiring, did I not? LOL

The weather was a little problematic, but hey, this is Melbourne! However, it did not ruin the event. Maybe the turnup would have been higher had the weather been like last year, but it was still packed on Sunday night for the band that came from Turkey.

I actually think there were a lot more Anglo Aussies during the day than Turks and/or Muslims... and they seemed so nice and appreciative...

Apart from a few ups and downs on behalf of the organisation, the set-up and event was an awesome one. I can't wait for next year's event! :)))

Since I was working, I couldn't really take photos, so I will share a couple from others' cams. Oh and of course photos of what I wore... I'm only putting up Sunday's outfit, I will post Saturday's in another post.

Love & Kisses! :)


The Ottoman Band, Mehter

That is only half the crowd!

My husband and I working :)


I was so cold in the morning that I just wanted to wrap myself in layers and layers of clothing. To finalise my outfit, I wrapped around my navy shawl and wore my belt to hold the front together. It actually looks like a jacket/cardi, and so I like the look. :) I think I will be doing this with many of my shawls during the cooler seasons. :)

Oh, and this baby is a gift from my husband. He bought it from the silver stall at the festival. I love it. The photo DOES NOT do justice to it. It is sterling silver even though it looks gold in the photo. The design is inspired by old Ottoman designs which is why I love it so much :)

Full of love

Okay, so I'm back from a delicious lunch with the scarflets, all thanks too dearie Sha, who's been such a sweetie pie to initiate this luncheon. She's going back to Christchurch in two days now. We're gonna miss you terribly, Sha!! And, this lunch date would be incomplete if Hana Tajima didn't show up, right? So she did! :D

After class, I rushed to Alexis, The Gardens and met all my pwetty gurlies all dolled up. Too bad I arrived with an exhausted look on my face (thanx to the whole week of super busy-ness). My mind and body was so tired, but I was glad I made it to the luncheon, nonetheless :)

This is what I had. The most scrumptios carbonara I've ever tasted! It's called Panne Carbonara. Not too thick and creamy, a perfect blend of cheese and egg based cream. Seriously, you gotta try it!

And..the famous Pavlova! So sweet and succulent, I can feel the soft heavenly texture of the pavlova melting in my mouth.

My tastebuds really had a feast today! :D


*

Back at home later at night, I got bored so I played around with my Leya. And here are some shots I took, ready to astonish you. haha, yea right. But really, it's been a while since I last touched my baby Leya.

Heart bokeh, a success!! I snapped the lampu liplap in my room. Nice ey? ;)

Moi new love at first sight - Topshop wing ring


Ok, so here's a lil something bout me that I just feel like telling. Apart of all the types of jewelleries created by man, I am easily drawned to RINGS! I just can't get enough of rings, you know. I love seeing them on my fingers while my hand is on the steering wheel, while I'm carrying my favorite tote, or even gracefully holding my fork and spoon :P

So here's some of the rings that I have.


Puzzled in what to give me as a gift? Just get me a chunky ring! JK! :P

Hidup Di Perantauan

Assalamualaikum

Hidup di perantauan ni nampak macam best, hidup dengan kawan-kawan, pergi travel, rasa makanan baru, belajar bahasa baru dan sebagainya. Best tu memang best, tapi banyak jugak tang tak best dia. Terutama bab makananlah. Bila duduk di perantauan, memang makanan mesia itu diangkat tinggi, dijunjung dan disembah bagai tiada hari lagi. Sejak duduk diperantauan juga, kami menghargai pasar malam, bazar ramadhan dan warung jalanan lebih dari The Curve & Midvalley. Tengok betapa dalamnya kecintaan kami terhadap lauk-pauk tempatan?

Namun bak kata peribahasa melayu, alah bisa tegal biasa. Emangnya donk, tiap hari gue makan dorongan ajah. Udah biasa kok. Walo makanan Indonesia tu enaqqq bangeett, soalnya gue dari malaisia kok. (Hello readers from Indonesia =p !) Jadi, bagi menenangkan hati yang gundah gulana ini, kami sering buat jamuan potluck. Dengan mengadakan potluck, kami boleh merasa pelbagai jenis makanan mesia dalam satu-satu masa. Walaupun tiada bazar, tapi takde hal, kami akan ciptakan bazar itu dengan skil memasak masing-masing demi maruah bangsa & negara!

Semalam kami buat jamuan potluck. 2 session ok, breakfast & lunch. Adakah ini tamak haloba?


 #1- roti canai by Su | #2- tehtarik by Farah | #3- kari ayam by me! | #4 donut by Farah


Untuk breakfast kami makan roti canai kari ayam, tehtarik & donut. Nak menitis air mata sebab sedap sangat. Kari yang aku masak satu periuk terak habis dalam sekelip mata. Terharu boleh tak?


Makan dalam skill's lab. Puas giler dapat makan !


 Me & Tika. Hari ni aku pakai tudung. Everybody was like 'Eh, atin pakai tudungla hari ni!' Dengan selamber aku jawab 'Aah, selama ni I freehair jer'. LOL


Agak-agak dah tengahari, kami masuk tutorial room dan bersedia nak makan lunch pulak! Makan lunch agak berat ye. Walaupun perut masih kenyang tapi kugagahkan jua tulang empat kerat  ini untuk menyuap nasi ke dalam mulut. KAU GILER KE MAKANAN UNTUK LUNCH NI SANGAT HEAVEN. SUSAH GILER NAK DAPAT KAT SINI TAU TAK. Korang nampak tak betapa siryesnye benda ni? Nampak tak? Sebab tu aku guna capslock.


1# - rendang ayam by Bella & Tika | 2# - ayam masak merah by Yana, Amal & Su | 3# - acar by Fido | 4# - nasi tomato by Amal


Ini adalah muka chef-chef anda. Amal  tengah tangkap gambar ni, jadi dia takde dalam gambar. Oh sepatotnya Nik kena ada dalam gambar sebab dia goreng papadom. Tapi dia lesap setelah makan. Hanya Allah yang tahu.

Syukur ya Allah, puas sangat dapat makan semalam. Walaupun masing-masing rindu masakan mak masing-masing namun apakandaya, masak sendiri pon jadilah. Tak sia-sia aku selalu masuk dapur bila mak aku memasak, dapat juga aku mempraktikkan ilmu masakan yang mak aku bagi hehe.


On a side note, I would like to thank to all of you for your loving supports towards HoneyKoyuki! Until now, HK has made around 15k followers & 20k fans! That is seriously a lot of number friends. Can't achieve all of these without you guys. Mari peluk secara virtual*

Thank you for reading this entry !
