Meeting my boysssss

I don't know by saying my boysssss, I mean KNK or HIGHLIGHT. Jihun or Seungjun or JunHyung. THAT'S HOW LUCKY I WAS.

last stage of the night

On the first few days when I was in UK, Zoe told me about this FeelKorea@London, which is a one day event and for the evening part, there's KNK SNUPER EXID and HIGHLIGHT. Four of them!!! Well I was always KNK's fan since they debuted and also HIGHLIGHT was in my loop playlist while studying for my last finals (literally watched all the live performance vid too) ..... SO MUST GO!!! and it costs 30pounds, two tix here can't even make me to SVT's concert!
We took a 6hours night bus from Liverpool to London, on the seat so small and hard compared to buses back in Malaysia. Reached early in the morning, bought my OysterCard, had our breakfast and freshen up in the railway station.

We then went to Victoria and Albert Museum which is near the Olympia exhibition centre where the event was held. There were so many things to see inside together with the overwhelming architectures we spent the whole morning there just seeing around, didn't managed to finish everything as I kept thinking about the concert that night XD

After having our lunch, we went straight to the venue. After two minutes, guess what, I met Jihun and Seungjun!!! They were on stage to give prizes to the dance competition earlier.
so tall even in the angmo-s crowd!!!

I thought I was a veryyyyy lucky fan, until later that night, I realize I'm not veryyyyyy lucky. Instead, I guess I've used up all my luvk GAHHHHH
We went straight to queue up after that, around 4hrs before and lucky us coz the crowd later was so hugeeeee.
endless queue, imagine the same view in front too!
We were lucky enough to be very close to the stage, around five people far from the first line. Which I am already very grateful! Coz guess what, that night later, I turned out to snatch one of KNK's signball!!! 当这个饭值了!很值!!! 
this only happens in dream!!!!!
KNK came out first, singing all of their songs with live, guess I can die in peace nowwww. After that was Yerin(?) special stage You Raised Me Up and then SNUPER stage, followed by KNK's special stage Thinking Out Loud. After that was EXID stage, then SNUPER special stage singing BTS Fire. The stage was already very lit by then. I'm screaming since KNK's stage then exceeding my limits after every single stage screaming even crazier ._.
The last one was HIGHLIGHT, and encore was together with Beast's song <3

first stage

look at dem legs thooo




I was this close THIS CLOSEEEEEEE
 Throwing a few pics that night I took and also short things that popped up my mind. Read only if you're a fan or else you'll think I'm crazy =X No joke ._.

Most of the fans are there for HIGHLIGHT, but love how they went to listen others song too 
YouJin is much more handsome and good looking in person I wonder why he doesn't look so in pictures taken ._.
KNK's height is no joke, VERY TALL.
KNK's and SNUPER performed all live songs they have I'm so blessed.
Not to mention I'm around 5th row(?) Worth the hourssss spent queuing up by the roadside
People in front of me is 'polite' WHY YOU NO SQUEEZE IN FRONT
Only realized how many people in front of me when HIGHLIGHT is out, people in front were all calm until they came out LOL
Was screaming out my lungs like MAX when KNK was out as the first group, can't believe I leveled up after every group came out next, was at another level which I never imagined myself will be at when HIGHLIGHT was out
Me: I should stop stanning Kpop group's time to be back to reality like REALITY
Also me: Queues by the roadside 5hrs earlier and screamed crazily when KNK came out
Owh yea, two girls literally fainted in front of me before HIGHLIGHT came out.
Suddenly felt all the exercise I done was so worth it XD

I'm recharged. Worth everything. I'm lucky. I'm blessed. I'm grateful. Sometimes I wonder what on earth do I deserve all this. Working hard on everything in the future just to pay back these moments. Thank you for everything.

A day in Belgium

There was one night a week ago, when I was sitting with Zoe, watching random dramas on our computer separately. Suddenly, "should I go Paris" popped in my mind. Told this to Zoe and we both paused our videos, went to search for flight tix, and ended up finding cheap tix to Belgium (abt 23euro one way, which is even cheaper than Miri to Kedah). Bought the tix, although another destination, then continue our dramas. That's how we ended up in Belgium.

I knew the country from a variety show, a few guys reaching at night, visiting the grand place with the building lights up, that's my image for the country.

Another one will be best waffles, best beer and best chocolates. Oh, and also mussels in Brussels.

We reached at midnight, because of the one hour time difference, it was quite late. Found a random restaurant and had kebab at almost 12am, wanted to visit the grand place at night but since it was too late we ended up resting early that night.
midnight kebab
The next morning, we woke up early and walked all the way from our hostel to the center of the city, passing by so many beautiful buildings feeling the fresh vibes in Brussels.

a castle like building which is now a musuem

5euro entrance fee so we took pics outside and left XD

traffic lights here have different icons
The country speaks two languages, German and French. Everyone around me is speaking a language I can't understand but still I was enjoying it. Probably the second country I visited that I didn't speak the language other than Thailand XD

 We then passed by a flea market where people sell antiques. There's a small square but it was quite empty and there was less people as it was raining quite heavily that day.
 A seller from Algeria that has typewritters in his stall typed 'I LOVE YOU MALASIA' for us <3
This is how some of the zebra crossing here looks like, and I LOOOOVE how the cars will stop once you come near one!
A selfie with the peepeeboy which is so small in real life. Hi and bye XD
We stopped by a coffee shop for a break as it was raining quite heavily and I faced some problems back in Miri about my EPs ._.


DELIRIUM CAFE
We then found the peepeegirl opposite Delirium cafe.
 Next stop, Delirium cafe aka my paradise, early in the morning. We chose to come here in the morning as we want to avoid the crowds.
It is called a cafe instead of a bar or a pub. There's up to 2000++ type of beers here which is recorded as the most types in the Guinness World Record, separated into three catagories, light heavy and fruity. Fun fact is that the best beer here in Belgium are brewed by monks!!

The interior here is so great, this is how the basement looks like, with all kinds of beer cap in the ceiling.

Zoe had the most popular cherry beer, and I ask for a recommendation of fruity beer. The bartender gave me a ... (sry i forgot the name will update once i rmb LOL)

THE GRAND PLACE
I can't control myself but wanting to take a picture once i stepped into the square. It's a square with beautiful, grand, majestic building all around you. I passed by there around ten times and still can't stop taking pictures of it.


Too many pics I can't upload it all. At the end we sat on the floor in the middle of the square for almost two hours in the evening, feeling and seeing the whole place, greedy me still don't feel enough XD Wanted to wait for the sunset so the building will light up as that was how I had the image of Belgium, didn't get to have a look as we were rushing for the last bus to the airport that night. Well, leaving some regrets so I have a reason to come back here again.

FOOOOOOOOOOD
Another thing that makes Belgium heaven is foooood. Waffles and chocolates, desserts and all. Literally my paradise.
We bought two small macarons.
 Zoe said her dream is to be rich enough to be able to enjoy the tea sold here.
My dream would probably be tasting all the macarons XD

Chocolatessssss

Wafflesssssss

We were on a tight budget, all aiming cheap and save money. Didn't want to afford for fancy chocolates but still want to try. Well I found coupons in our hostels that can be used to exchange a chocolate at this fancy chocolate shop, I'm grateful <3

Found a bench by the roadside and enjoyed our macarons, this is small but OMG yumsssssss
We had one pistachio and a vine berry one. Both not that sweet. The first one has the strong after taste of pistachio flavor and the second one has a light sourness with a slight sweetness. 

Candiesssssssss

We decided to go all out and got us a fancy waffle. YUMSSSSSSSS.
The strawberries and the cream that was so soft and light, with nutella chocolate on top, together with the Belgium waffles aka the best waffles I ever had in life (had a one with just sugar on top which surprised me with the fact that there is such tasty food on Earth)

more chocolatesssss

we went in and out a lot of chocolate shops, just to look and drool. I'm satisfied.

Had paella for dinner. Since mussels in Brussels is a must. Decided to have a paella with a few mussels in it. Damnnnnnn it was so nice too although this is just a random restaurant. Zoe was so nice to peel all the prawns for me (Need one Zoe in life. Owh wait I have one. Blessed.)

We visited a few other places too on that day, an open mall which should also be the oldest one in Brussels (which we bought our macarons)

We also visited an art museum.
There's a lot of museums in Brussels, this was chosen by random LOL We got tired walking and I saw a huge posters with lots of words on it, which has a small FREE WIFI so we entered XD
 This place is called BOZAR(?) or maybe the current event is called so. Had a great time here looking around, should be quite a popular one. Bought a postcard here and contributed to their graffiti wall.
There's a huge QI by me and a small girl that I drew which resembles Caroline in ParaKiss. 
Have fun finding in it!

That night we rushed to the airport since the last bus was at 1030pm, spent the night in the airport before flying off at 7am the next morning. The weather was quite cold, around 9-11 degree celsius(?) Was cold shaking but there's still people there with sleeveless and shorts 6.6

This is mini Zoe aka Homeless no.2 squeezing in a small bench XD 
Btw Homeless no.1 is me which is too huge to squeeze, ended up can't sleep and took this pic XD

This will be how I'll remember Belgium in the future <3
It's a city with a pace I like, the type of city that I hope to work in the future, a city that has mind blowing waffles and a city that has two of my favorite things, choco and beer.
Will be back again in the future, hope that time I'll be speaking the language! See you when I see you!!!

Solving all our cravings

A post about the only leisure we can find in Miri XD
So after our exam, we rented a car that night for dinner, went to a Korean restaurant, drank some to celebrate, just two of us enjoying the small chats and mostly, FOOD.





After that I rushed back for a meeting and spent the whole night discussing stuffs slowly get back into track for the project preparation. Had a good night sleep and tried to not set an alarm but still ended up waking early the next day LOL the biological clock is working at a wrong time XD

That morning I wanted to visit the doctor but he was on leave, so we went for a late breakfast, at a dimsum shop that open until quite late

The LiuShaPao is damn nice

And don't forget to try their egg tarts

After that we went shoppingggggg, we have no idea where to go so literally walked to every shop we find interesting and checked out.

hi meet my LOVE kangjun haha
I was so damn excited when i see this in the tonymoly store, then I rushed inside and wanted to take a picture. The workers there kept following us while we were in there so no choice but to take one hurrily XD

That afternoon Jessie and me went SingK! 
It's so nice to have just the two of us HAHA so endless Japanese and Korean songs don't care XD


We went to a beach nearby that evening for the sunset and damn I miss the beach so muchhhhhh.

After that we promised to have a dinner with Belle and G for dinner straight after their exam, so we fetched them from the campus and straight to a Korean restaurant! Again, but another one.

Went to starbucks drive thru nearby to get some drinks after that, haven't have the chance to visit inside yet.

 That night I video called with Zoe and guess what, she was adding subtitles for herself when she was talking Gahhhh WHY YOU SO CUTEEEE

The next morning, dimsum at LaoYang, again.
Went to run some errands that day, change some money, to the bank, to TM which was closed, went shopping a bit too. Solve our blackball craving which I didn't even know they have a shop here.

That night we went for a (kinda) farewell dinner for this semester <3
Okay I got all hungry after this post ._. I think you too HAHA

Done with Level1.2

Just like what I’ve said, studying all day errrday is not hard for me, not having to go out and sitting whole day is. The whole study week is … torture. I try to cut out all my leisure and social medias to focus more on studies (just to feel less guilty as in I’ve put in my everything) but at the same time studying looks so bored that sleeping looks more interesting.
a night where we studied until sunrise
My seniors told me that the second semester is much more easy going compared to the first semester. Well I DID NOT FEEL SO. When the semester started everything was so overwhelming I’m always busy on something, doing assignments, meeting for projects etc. But when the whole semester ends, yes I agree with that, the units gave less pressure (?) Or simply because I study more this semester LOL
But yea, I remembered feeling so not myself after last semester ends coz I’m not treating my studies well, I’m just trying to study for the sake of exams. This semester was better, I found back the joy for studying and felt less stress and pressure. The only pressure was from having to score very well (?) I came all the way long not feeling the importance of good grades and high marks but just the joy and also the effort you put in, believing in hard work will pay off. So yea, finger crossed everything will come out well!
a morning where my pen ink and correction tape ran out at the same time, that satisfication though XD

Straight after my last paper, I got home and slept whole day. It’s been more than two months that I have a good sleep, I have been limiting my time to sleep and whenever before dozing off, my mind will be arranging things to do when I wake up. At the same time I felt empty and lost coz for the past few months the focus was on studying and now I forgot how do it feels like not have to study LOL

We went out for a nice dinner that night and I rushed back for a meeting getting things back and working on coming projects (OMG everything is so soon now KYAAAA) .The pressure is much more heavier than taking care for my studies. Slowly getting back on leisure and social media things look so unreal LOL. Won’t be back on ig soon as I’m having some private issues. Sometimes people just see a part of the whole story and started judging on it, ignoring the hard work and effort behind. Still trying to get over myself on this, need some time I guess =)

Still alive

This is me making an effort to save my blog, literally.

I have to admit this semester was a mess, every units are attention seekers and starting every week is suffocating for me. There are so many weekly things to be done, refreshed every Monday. Imagine when clock strikes into a new week, there'll be three quizzes and a lecture activity waiting you to be done, not counting in other tutorials, lectures and assignments to complete. Every Friday will be a huge PHEWWW following by realizing having a quiz on 8am Monday so I have to start study and prepare for the coming quizzes next week.

Done with babbling, I can't believe I survived this semester, all assignments done, currently in study week, and I can't feel more relieved. I remembered there's one day that I woke up 6am after sleeping late the last night, got to 8am class all the way until 930pm which I finished my last meeting. Got home for another group assignment meeting at 10pm, which everyone was (kinda) relying on me.
I guess its the perfectionist part of me that want things to be done well, and no one seems to be wanting to put in that effort to make our assignment the best way it can be. After such a long day, I ended up spending 5hours from 11pm-4am just to get the group assignment done, wondering why am I doing this, at this time, not scolding or crying. Nahhh I burst in tears after everything's done feeling so helpless and cried myself to sleep that night. The whole world seems quiet and there's me, and myself.
Okay I know I'm going too far, but somehow this is how stressful and emotionally I got this whole semester. I actually did wrote a blogpost every few weeks, but all those ended up in my drafts, just because my thoughts were so negative and I don't feel like showing that part of myself.

That's most probably the reason I don't update a lot this semester, and maybe even less in the future. And also since ig have this function of being able to post multiple pics, I don't find my problem not knowing where to share my pics.
Anyway, still not wanting this blog to die. I feel it gets to bring the positive side out of me. And most probably I got so stressful so depressed this semester is just simply I update less. Hmmmm....

Gotta study for the coming finals, will update soon right after everything's done, probably a sum up of how amazing this semester is (Yes there's tonnes of amazing stories that I have no time to change into words!!)
Will be spending my whole month sem break in U.K. travelling by myself and meeting up my family including grandma and aunt the last few weeks over there to Europe. Planning on scheduling a surgery before leaving Miri but currently still looking for reliable clinic (one of the reason I hate being away from home), sometimes things just don't go the way we want, another reason I'm stressing out LOL

I know I sound stressful and depressed throughout this post but seriously I'm not. Goodluck for finals =)
