Throw back 2007 : Rezeki Terpijak...Japan

Suddenly this night around 2.11a.m 15/12/13 it struck me to write a post about my trip to japan.. yes it has been quite a long time but believe me the memories still remains fresh in my mind..and for the record, one of the reasons that I wanna update this blog is because of a couple of reasons 1- to add on my "places I go" layout on the left side of my blog, 2- nak update blog yang lama tak berupdate 3- tetiba terbaca blog fatin liyana honeykoyuki.blogspot.com dan baru tahu yang aku pernah join satu batch pergi jepun dengan dia haha..sungguh ku tak sangka..hamboi kau bila dia dah famous baru nak bangga..apa punya orang da aku ni hahah..

ok moving on..how it all started..I wasn't really in to japan stuff as I always fancy on euro things such as london, paris dan sebagainya yang nampak ala2 exclusive gitu..but after SPM aku memang tak bekerja langsung sampai la masuk matriks..kiranya aku ada kot dalam 4 5 bulan tak bekerja dan ketika itu pon family aku didn't push me into working..so I ended up being very "busy" with the social network stuff..mula la geng2 sekolah nak YM bagai..then friendster pon aktif je... and the highlight part is I took my sister's japanese book and learn for fun..and kakak being the person who always find a way to pengaruhi adik2 dia untuk minat apa yang dia minat..so memang dia berjaya buat kau minat dengan jepun sampai lah aku belajar sendiri bahasa jepun ni..dengan harapan dapat  tengok drama jepun tanpa subtitles..but yeah macam haram tak dapat faham..well at least I tried and understand a little..so thats good enough for me...

Then I went to kolej matrikulasi pahang where I didn't really brag about knowing a lot about japanese stuff but luckily I got a roomate whose really into japan stuff..yeay ada geng kan..so one time there was an advertisement dekat board hal ehwal pelajar tentang JENESYS student exchange program...rasanya macam pernah je aku cerita kan dalam previous post about macam mana proses aku dapat tapi rasa nak cerita gak walaupun takde readers pon yg nak tahu sangat...tapi in details lagi ada someone inspired me  to not give up and disebabkan dia alhamdulillah dapat pergi sana..kalau rajin leh baca kat previous post yg kat teluk intan tu..shapik or iqa lah orangnya...

Preparation memang sangatlah best sebab tambang dan segala hal memang kerajaan jepun yang support 100%..dengar tu 100% habaq ang!! passport matrik yang taja rm300 sorang (ada 3 org yang pergi including me) dan kami hanya perlu bawa duit shopping jela..thanx to le dad yang sponsored my RM1000 untuk diconvertkan dalam USD dan yen untuk membeli souvenier...sayang ayah tau hehe..

There was about 90 students which include 60 high school students and 30 matriculation students..3 from each matric...60 high school kids tu pon gempak2 je semua..masing2 wakil sekolah dalam macam2..tapi aku gempak la jugak sebab terselect antara 3000 student dalam matrik tu kan #bangga dengan diri sendiri

ni la dia student2 from my group yang terpilih itu..nak kenal senang je..yang nametag2 itu lah dia ye kawan2

Part 1: Tokyo and around it..well the pictures and time maybe a little messed up..tak ikut flow sikit because I is malas

me and fitrie yang memang agak2 poyo excited masa sampai

imperial palace

while waiting for our flight to japan

at tokyo dome yo!! I was the most excited person to come here because most japanese singers held their concerts here..

this was located infront of tokyo dome..since we went there end of november, so the christmas mode is on

after having our "sumo" lunch

at some park where we headed for our lunch

my first curry squid..xpedas langsung

our late night snacks..beli kat depan hotel je..caremel pudding, onigiri yang triangle tu kan..dan yang lagi satu tu xtau namo gaponya tu

had our first tempura in front of asakusa

with the handsome adik muiz..dia wakil kebangsaan dalam pidata english..kan aku kato budak2 sekolah dia amek yang gempak2..

Part 2: Miyazaki and foster family

we were ther for about 6 days and 3 days with our japan family..

sampai2 je kami disambut oleh pelajar sekolah dari malaysia..I tell ya bila kami sampai je dari bus tu budak2 tu excited macam nampak artis gitu.. # I is feeling super hot

lagi hot bila iolls masuk paper jepun hokeyyy..nampak tak aku sorang je yang pandang camera..

si gadis berbaju kurung di garden jepang

playing bingo with bebudak sekolah

somewhat I call epic..at aoshima island

orang jepun and korea ni makanan diorang memang byk libatkan pinggan kan..orang melayu sepinggan je da cukup..da boleh letak macam2...kepada yang malas basuh pinggan..silakan jangan kahwin dengan orang jepun

making souvenier..doraemon pink tu aku punya hihi

having pot nabe (tak tahu apa dalam melayu) at my foster family's house

with ueno mariko my okaasan (mother) and my imooto (sister) ueno hinako..dak ni sebaya adik aku yang nina ni..kalau aku datang sana confirm dia ni dah lagi tinggi dari aku hohoho

family ni kecik je..anak sorang..my father ueno koji..okaasan ni sebaya mak aku lahir tahun 1960 tapi both kawen lambat 

sebenarnya kan aku yang muka tak malu bila aku suh ayah angkat aku panggil budak dua orang ni untuk snap pic ngan aku..sungguh tak malu kan saya ini..

they brought me at a sushi restaurant..first time eating the really2 raw fish...harap2 tak de lah sake (alcohol) dalam tu..dah balik malaysia baru kawan2 aku takutkan aku cakap "weh kau tak risau kot sushi tu ada sake ke?" ok time tu baru nak risau..nak risau pon takdo guno eh..da lepas... #tudung putih aku pakai tu hilang kat ampaian hostel utem masa tahun 1 bersama 2 lagi tudung hitam..damn pencopet

Then  selepas dua malam dengan family angkat, maka pada hari ketiga kami ada majlis perpisahan dengan semua geng miyazaki punya family angkat..malam tu agak menangis la semua orang..macho tak macho nangis beb..

ni masa majlis perpisahan bersama keluarga angkat..

ni bukan keluarga angkat aku tapi mereka sangatlah friendly..especially yg cium aku ni

Kemudiannya kami menginap dalam satu malam lagi di hostel area miyazaki juga..macam dorm  katil dua tingkat..dan berjalan2 sekitar miyazaki...

Part 3 : Tokyo again

Ketika di tokyo pula selama dua malam, kami ke tokyo tower dan malam itu ada majlis penutup..

Sebenarnya aku tak ingat sangat flow perjalanan pergi kemana sekian..so let me just explain by the pictures

ini meal kami masa kat tokyo tower restaurant..sepanjang 10 hari aku makan ikan memanjang je..balik malaysia kempunan daging 

malam itu kami sempat berjalan2 sekitar bandar tokyo..ke akihabara tempat jual barang elektronik termurah dan boleh nego macam kat  plaza low yat kat KL..

bangunan belakang 6 tingkat itu ialah plazanya..sekitar tu is akihabara...bayangkan ps yg mcm vita tu boleh dapt ngn harga rm150??? sedangkan kat msia time tu dalam 800 kot..tu dak laki  pakat2 nak g beli tu

me and diyana..aku suspek belakang aku yg kurus kering tu fatin liyana yg blogger femes tu hahaha..

ni la tokyo tower yang nampak cam kabel letrik je..tak segah mana pong

barisan kumpulan lelaki2..bersama koordinator kami mr tan (bawah kanan)

barisan perempuan pula

muka sedih nak tinggalkan jepung..masing2 tunjuk tiket huhu

our little party with geng2 miyazaki..had loads of snacks

Ok rasanya macam dah banyak gila je gambau dalam post ni..seriously me agak malas nak men collage photos at the moment so I ended up uploading all of them..ni pon dah tapis2...

Alhamdulillah I get to experience being in a foreign country of my dreams..tu orang kata rezeki terpijak..come to think about it, it was my greatest achievement representing something from all 3000 students that I never experienced before..balik matrik je nama aku famous dengan title " dak g jepun tu" LOL...didn't even tried so hard of being  "mencapub" like high school #doubleLOL..bila dah lama2 or bila da tua n sedikit matang ni kan..there's no point of being famous just so you want people to know you..be someone that you can inspire and motivate people..sekian cebisan ceramah pendek tak berbayar saya ini

Ku Raikan Mereka

(just to remind you readers before you get confused, this post is actually a future-like post where its a 20 years ahead of post..so basicaly you will hear the term, mama, uncle and aunt a few times..for the person I didn't put up the term, it means that he is someone I hope to be call not as an uncle..if he ended as an uncle to my kids..eventually I will edit this post back)

Apa?Raikan cinta? opps sori bukan..saja je buat ayat gedik2 ala2 kahwin style..well actually tujuan post ini di buat adalah untuk menyimpan kenangan mama tengok kawan2 mama konvo..memang sedih la mama tak dapat konvo bersama uncle2 dan aunty2 sekali kan tapi nak buat macam mana bukan rezeki untuk konvo sama...so disini mama nak share pictures sepanjang event berlangsung...sebelum dan selepas..



Thursday 24/10/2013 :mama ditugaskan untuk mengambil jubah konvo uncle syed, rahman dan aunty kis punya jubah konvo..subahanAllah lecehnya tak terkata tau anak..macam2 diorang nak..luckily uncle echal and uncle hafiz helped by giving me guidelines on the wakil ambil jubah thing..everything was totally settled by thursday when uncle idzuan, uncle fakhrur, aunt umai and aunt fi came by...then on the evening we went to a roti nan stall with some of mama's classmates and after that went for a movie..believe me the movie we watched wasn't as fun for me because I wanted to watch "the escape plan" but some of them already watched it so in the end we watched a movie called " tomyum goong" its a thai action movie but for me I didn'e like the storyline that is just about fighting the whole time..but we had a great time with my classmates

me, aunt fi and aunt umai..oh mind the oily face..I was in a hurry to rush to my part-time job

done picking up for them :)

Friday 25/10/2013: Many of my classmates came to retrieve their graduation robe..let me tell ya..its not a good time to take your robe at last minute because that time most robes are out of size..so for the skinny and short ones the have to where L size robes that is too long and too big for them..hmm nasiblah kan..in a way by helping people for their graduation it also helped me to be more careful in the future.. so on the evening me and man went to jusco to buy his gradution socks..apedaa man ni xdo stokin kat rumah..then he also forgot to bring his tie..adeh clumsy rahman..then we bumped in with some of rahman's classmates which are also my friends and later a few minutes after  both of us had our plans with our classmates..man had a futsal game and I had a grill all-you-can-eat dinner at API-API..it was my first time there..for me I didn't really like the all you can eat thing mainly because I didn't eat that much but to have the time to spend with your classmates which you haven't seen for months and having conversations about what they're up to now is priceless..I didn't care at all spending RM30 for only eating meat and ice cream but I totally enjoy having chit chats and laughing with them..there was about more than 20 people there as I remembered..then aunt kis and uncle syed were also eager to meet them so they asked us to hang out at dataran pahlawan's dataran pe tah atas mall tu..so some of us headed up there and some of them left early..we hang out there for about 2 hours I think until one by one left due to tiredness and so..me, uncle karen, aunt kis, uncle syed , uncle zudin and 2 3 org yg I didn't recall were the last ones there..if it wasn't for the rain, I think we would stay up there till dawn haha..so I reached home about 3a.m with pouring rain on me...

opps..siapa yg saya temankan potong rambut tu?ada orang tu tak lepas syarat rambut konvo..makanya saya lah yang kena teman dia potong rambut

suasana sekitar api-api

Saturday 26/10/13: Most of my classmates were busy with their family..but on 3p.m, aunt kis suddenly called me and said that she wanted to pick me up at my house and hang out with her parents..aunt am momoe was also there joining us..we went window shopping at dataran pahlawan and pahlawan walk..aunt kis's hotel was a walking distance from pahlawan walk..we chilled there for a while before waiting for aunt sarah to arrive because her family also spent a night at the same hotel aunt kis rent..after that, again we went to dataran above the mall to hang out with zuhair..zuhair mama dah selalu jumpa pon so tak la banyak cerita ahaha..I was worried for sarah and kis because they had to get up early in the morning for their big G-day but they seemed to ignore the fact of it..in the end I arrived home at 2a.m sekali lagi kepenatan...

aww so sweet la parents kis ni..still walking holding hands..sorry pic blur sebab snap masa tengah berjalan

settled with her stuffs

aunt am and aunt kismera

LOL its something I found right besides their hotel..fyi..there's a club upstairs

opps selfie detected

Sunday 27/10/2013: Their big day has come..aunt kis gave me one pass but because of me waking up late so I didn't entered the hall at all..plus I know it would be super boring and painful to see my friends graduating without me..this was the day that challenged me the most.I almost shed into tears seeing them walking with their happy faces and robes on and throwing their mortar board hats  simultaneously..But I was there anyway for their eventful day...may all happiness be with you..may you pursuit a better future ahead,,insyaAllah my time will come and I hope I can  feel the same way they felt..

This post really made me passionate to not screw up this time...I only have less than 2 months before I can graduate..I hope that my effort this time will pay..God-Willing...

And here are some pictures I got from facebook and also from my samsung wave camera...

me, aunt kis and aunt diyana..aunt diyana will join me next year graduating

this is my classmate aunt odah..I purposely copied this picture from her facebook because I loved this picture so much..It's a picture where your parents kissed you as having their kids achieving a degree..I always wanted a picture like this..unfortunately your grandfather is not present for any of our family occasion since the last 8 years ago..it only takes a miracle for that to happen..I hope in a few years you will be the one in the middle kissed by me and your father :)

my classmates 

uncle syed, aunt kis and rahman :)

suasana dalam hall

4 years together sampailah dah konvo..moga cepat2 kahwin

me with uncle echal

the mortar board throwing again..from left, uncle joe, rahman, mr singa(or so I called) and the decent uncle aisam..let me tell ya kids..uncle aisam is very choosy when it comes to relationships..we all are eager to go to his wedding just so to know who is his wife

finally an engineer..me next year..can't wait!!

with aunt fisah..dia memang sempoi je dari dulu..like her way of dealing with things

with aunt sarah...dia memang pandai tahap lecturer pon cakap dia genius..sebab dia boleh study last minute dan buat kerja last minute yang sangat berkualiti...I think she got a 3.4 cgpa for her degree..
