Melaka, Malaysia

Hello, rakyat Melaka! :)

Medan Selera, Alai, Melaka

Some fresh stuff here!

Ambal masak cili

Kerang rebus

Air kelapa adalah wajib if makan kat tepi pantai :D

Butter prawn

Ikan bakar. I'm not sure ikan apa, kerapu kot?

There, ambal and kerang. My FAV!

Dalam bakul dah penuh ikan, udang, ambal and kerang. Mata sibuk memandang nak ketam and sotong. Malina si tamak. Pantang jumpa seafood, rasa macam nak telan semua :D

Decided to stay one night in Seri Costa in Bandaraya Melaka

Sooooo many lauk!

Ketam masak lemak. Yumm! (Don't ask me about the getah please, I also tak perasan masa makan tu. LOL!)

Menara Taming Sari, Melaka

The pasar! I don't know the name but its a great place, to shop for souvenirs?

Masjid Selat Melaka

The best apam balik in town! (Y)

Haroo! We went to Melaka the other day after we were busy browsing for trees and what plants to be planted in our front and backyard. Was so busy and exhausted that day and thought that we would treated ourselves with some good food for our big tummies so Sissy asked, "Jom pergi Melaka?". So, yeah. We went straight to Melaka and reached there at about 8pm-ish.

Usually, if nak makan seafood yang murah, most Malaysians would say, "Pergi Umbai lah!", but no way Jose! I have a new place that is much better than that! (I think? Because I've never been to Umbai before. Hahak!). It is called, Alai. Yes, Alai in Melaka. About 10 minutes away from Bandaraya Melaka. Bukan walking distance yea. Kang you alls pergi jalan kaki pula, memang jenuh and kecil betis nak berjalan from bandar. LOL!

So there this place called, Medan Selera Alai, siap pintu gerbang! Dah sampai kat area tu, you can see that the whole stretch tu adalah syurga bagi penggemar seafood! I was like so rambang mata, tak tahu nak pergi kedai mana and of course I chose the freshest ingredients in the house. There were, ikan, udang, sotong, ketam (Ya Allah! Fresh gila ketam dia!), KERANG (yumm!), ambal, and you just name it! Semua ada! Well, except for sharks? Hihi.

Ordered air kelapa without the ice and drank straight from the buah itself, oh gosh, life was so perfect at that time. I couldn't asked for more! And it was the first time in my life (ever!), I makan just the lauk, without the nasi. Ah-ha! Well, it was worth it. So we ordered, ambal, udang, ikan and kerang. For 5 people and drinks and all that, costs only RM100 something. MURAH KAAANNN??? Gaaaahhhh! I want to go and makan kat sana lagi soon! Yeayers!

We finished makan at almost midnight, so nak balik KL pun macam tak seronok dah because its already late, and we decided to stay one night at Seri Costa in Bandaraya Melaka. The hotel was okay. At least we have a place to stay. If nak tidur dalam kereta pun boleh, but tak selesa lah kan. So we didn't bring any extra clothes or toothbrush and all, we went out and shop dekat uptown/downtown in Dataran Pahlawan, Bandaraya Melaka. We bought basic needs at 7-Eleven and baju tidur. A day well spent! (Y)

Day 2. Had breakfast at the hotel. Got ready and checked out from hotel and more food-hunting! Went to this kedai, I can't remember the name, its very famous for Asam Pedas rasanya and we will go there to eat for lunch every time we're in Melaka. So yeah, went there for lunch. We had everything! Ketam, ayam, sotong, ikan, sayur, ulam and all. Complete dah semua jenis seafood untuk berenang di dalam perutku. Lewlz!

Then jalan kaki ke mana-mana, and spent some more time in Melaka and balik KL. Oh we had fun! I love random road trips liddis :B

That moment when your car died while you're driving

Terima kasih bestfriend, kerana sudi membantu though memang tak boleh nak start pun

Tetap terukir senyuman

Prihatin or kpochi? :D

Meet Juey, Aarief, Nabeel

Lengchai aaaa.

Juey and I

Our tagline of the day: This is fun.

It was on Monday I think, but cannot remember the date. Juey and I had dinner and was on our way back home. I was driving Juey's car since she was so lazy to drive herself, so yeah, I was driving that night. Everything was okay at first until we both heard this sound of tyre or engine buat hal. Thought it was nothing until we both bau macam plastic terbakar. We were climbing up the hill masa tu and I nampak engine macam berasap but I thought it was still nothing until masa nak turun bukit tu, all of a sudden je engine mati and I cannot press the brake pedal nor the accelerate pedal. I was a bit panicking and I asked Juey, "Juey, kenapa I tak boleh tekan brake?". And kereta turun laju ke bawah and the only thing I boleh fikir masa tu just to wait to sampai tempat rata and tarik handbrake slowly. Alhamdulillah, managed to pull over by the busy roadside. Thank goodness lah kat situ ramai orang, bukan tempat sunyi. Called my bestfriend and we waited in the car for almost half an hour. And in the meantime tu, Juey has made such amazing thing ever! Well, umm, I don't think I'm allowed to tell you here. Let's just say that, Juey is my hero and no girls can do that. I repeat, NO GIRLS CAN DO THAT. Okay, zip my face. Hahah!

So bestfriend arrived with this jump-start to jump start the car? Sorry, too bimbo with this mechanical terms. Betul lah jump start! Right? And it doesn't work. So we had to leave the car kat tepi jalan and balik apartment. It was already late at night and I got exams the next day and decided to settle about the car after finished with my papers. So bestfriend dropped us off and we were waiting for Marz to pick us up. Thank you for both Marz and bestfriend. You're our life saver(s)! :B Balik apartment, sambung study and tidur. My first paper was held early in the morning and that noon.

After habis paper I, Juey, Aarief, Nabs and I off to the scene (where we left the car), so happy to see that the car was still there! Hahah! And off to the workshop near by. Got this awesome lengchai, fixed it for us. For an hour juga lah, we all tunggu. Turned out, the battery dah terus habis and pipe apa entah bocor. The coolant I think. And after that, we had dinner with Nissa. Talked about business and stuff. We had fun though. "This is fun." with them loves :)

Kehidupan di Cyberjaya: Studying 24/7

Ijam, Mija, Juey, Nabeel

My "partner-yang-selalu-teman-I-study-malam-malam" :D

Hello there! I'm back!

Hello! Assalamualaikum warrahmatullahi wabarrakatuh.

Oh my gosh, it feels like years since the last time I updated this blog! Finally got the time to update this dusty blog and believe me I was trying so hard to curi masa to update blog before, but was too occupied with workloads and responsibilities. And here I am, back again as a blogger bebas. Sorry to myself because I was too busy sampai tade masa to chill and update this blog and sorry to readers yang selalu visit my blog yang dah lama tak update ni. I got quite a number juga from visitors and ada yang dah email tanya, "Malina, bila nak update blog?", "You're not blogging anymore?" and so on. Sorry sangat sangat yea. Now, its time for me to berceloteh sampai you alls rasa menyesal visit this page. LEWLZ! *krukk krakk, exercise jari before menaip*

Well, hello there! I'm doing good so far. The last time I blogged, was few months ago, on February I think? Now it's already April and Alhamdulillah semua berjalan dengan lancar. But its normal lah kan, there are ups and downs in life. So yeah, I tak terlepas from all that. Too many crisis happened but not to mention, ada juga happy times. Daddy was back in Malaysia for almost a month lebih, and now he balik sana already. And the good news is that, I'm going to stay there with him soon! The last time I went to Doha, back in 2011. Stayed there for 4 months and now I'll be back in Doha again and goodbye Kuala Lumpur! I just need some time alone with my family and I think I made the right choice. Family is all I have and is all I need now :)

And how about studies? Ramai sangat dah yang tanya, "Hey Malina, you dah habis study ke? You still doing degree in MMU? Why lama sangat? Bila nak habis?". To answer all of your questions, nope I belum habis degree. Yes I'm still in MMU. Why lama sangat? Because I suka belajar lama-lama? LOL! I'm gonna take my time. No rush. Buat apa habis awal but belum boleh dapat kerja lagi kan? I don't mind about money and all that. In Shaa Allah, rezeki Allah tu ada kat mana-mana. No matter lah whether buat umur muda or tua. If dah murah rezeki, murah lah. Tak perlu nak kejar sana-sini. I even have my own savings (bukan nak berlagak yea, hanya beritahu sahaja) at this age, so everything is cool. Tak semestinya bila dah kerja baru nak ada saving kan? Masa tengah belajar ni, lagi banyak boleh save duit (or main saham ke) since tak perlu nak bayar roadtax, rumah and all that. True right?

And masa I hilang for 2 months tak ber-blog ni, ada juga yang bertanya, "Bila you nak kahwin?". Well, I admit that sometimes ada juga terasa nak kahwin and have a family and to raise kids and all that, but what to do, jodoh belum sampai. Kalau ada, ada lah. If bujang sampai mati, its okay. Ada yang menyambut di pintu syurga nanti. Cewaahhh. In Shaa Allah :) Lately ni I banyak dapat wedding invitations from my friends. Alhamdulillah, semoga berkekalan sehingga ke syurga yea! Amin. Ada yang dah bertunang; kahwin jangan lupa ajak yea! And recently, both of my cousin; Shila and Kak Long selamat melahirkan baby boy (both in March). I haven't met them yet, but soon I will! In Shaa Allah. Hanya tengok dalam gambar je and I bet they must be so cute in person too! Yay! And every weekend now asyik kena pergi wedding je sampai terpaksa ulang baju yang sama! LOL! But I'm welcoming for more invitations! Meh sini, In Shaa Allah, I'll try to make it for you, loves!

Nowadays orang dah busy with social networks and stuff. So whoever yang guna smartphone, surely won't leave behind with this new apps to be installed. Kan kan? Dulu zaman MySpace then berubah ke Facebook and paling digemari ramai; Twitter. Up until today, ramai lagi yang masih active with Twitter. So does Facebook. And paling popular, Instagram of course. Semua busy sibuk nak upload pictures sana sini. And the latest one now, KEEK! Hahah! I, sebagai pengguna smartphone, tak kan tertinggal to install it. I have a Keek account. Nothing much, merepek videos je. And paling latest! Guess what's the latest trend for now? WeChat! LOL! I dah lama install it in my phone but lately ni tiba-tiba boom since ada TV ad Lisa Surihani and Shaheizy Sam buat Harlem Shake thru WeChat. It is an awesome app, guys! Download it okay! Boleh video and voice chat hari-hari sampai you all bosan *jakun mak enon* LOL!

I'll be turning 23 this year and surprisingly I don't feel old. Like before this, I asyik rasa macam tua sangat dah but not now. Maybe because I'm still a student kot? Or I don't know. So many things to look forward to. After finishing my degree, I want to continue doing Masters. Masters in Business Admin. MBA you alls! I want, I want! Tak sabarnya nak habis degree! I want to do Masters and kerja and at least half million dah ada dalam account by 30. AT LEAST! Mesti! I want to own my own car. Tak nak rumah because I want to stay with my family. 30. That would be... 7 years more. Studies akan habis by 26. Then kerja. 4 years to collect half million. Haa, cano tu jang? I can do it! Yeah! Doakan kejayaan saya yea :B

That's it. No more cakap sorang-sorang. Orang baca, boleh yawn beratus kali. It's time for me to update whatever happened in previous months. Kepada anda semua, selamat maju jaya! All the best in everything you do and remember, DON'T GIVE UP ON GOOD THINGS :) xx
