flower flower flower!!

Salam and hello, people. :)

It definitely getting warmer each day, and since few days ago, the most famous flower in Japan already started to bloom, the sakura or cherry blossom! Sakura flowers last for only less than a week so in this season, Japanese people love to go to picnic and enjoy having a good time and food with friends and family. This event is called "Hanami" or flower seeing and parks will be reaaaly crowded with so many kind of people who comes to have party under sakura trees.

For last 2years I didn't go to hanami for some reasons but I still could enjoy walking under full bloomed sakura trees and reading some books under the tree because there are so many sakura trees along side of the road to my uni. They planted sakura and Icyou(Ginko) tree next to each other so the road will be full with pale pink sakura patels in early April and will be full with yellow Ginko leaves in Autumn. How cool is that?? Actually, one of the reasons why I chose this university is that!lol.

Last Saturday I went hanaming to Yoyogi Park but before that I ran to see a doctor, I cut my finger accidently on Thursday and it was my 2nd time visit to change the bandage. :( He wrapped my hand and wrist as if I broke my finger and people keep asking ne what happened. haha. Seriously I almost fainted so many time while trying to stop bleeding because the cut was a little bit deeper than usual knife cut and I'm kind of person who faint easily when I see a lot of blood. But it was ok la, then I had chance to walk around my uni and feel the lively air, untill now many people come to my uni and the road to enjoy their spring walk, it's quite annoying. :(

That's all.
Hope you have wonderful day too!

More of Blarney Castle

I took many photos in Blarney Castle because it was soooo like in fairy tale! (ok, this is my first time in a castle ok, don't laugh at me. If you came to Japan n see all those temples and castles and gyaru here, you also will do the same thing. First time, kate kan..lol) Kalau kita baca buku-buku atau tengok cerita orang putih, lagi-lagi jenis Disney tu, memang kita tak leh bayang macam mane la boleh ada castle la, padang luas la, bunga2 di tepi sungai la, charming prince dgn kuda putih la, tapi kt sini, benda tu mcm boleh wujud! Suasana die mcm betul2 dalam cerita dongeng(is this how to spell it? idk). Tu la rase terpegun. Memang dorg ni hidup dalam budaya dan sejarah yang berbeza dengan kita. Dan ciptaan Allah memang hebat. Hati rasa terkejut dan kagum tengok suasana yang tiada di Malaysia. Rasa nak nangis tengok kecantikan tempat ni. Ish touching plak, hehe.

When I was in Ireland, I found quite many Malaysian-like words. Macam bahasa Melayu. One day, my friend and I was looking for a university. Jalan je la ikur pemuda-pemuda yang nampak macam students, so we just followed them hoping that they are going to the university too. On the way, we found a house that written, "slamat tingal", or in correct spelling, selamat tinggal which means "good bye". Unfortunately I didn't take photo of it, so I couldn't show it here. But other than that house, I found "Liana" car (Liyana/Liana is a common girl name here), and a kebab store named "Kebab Mahal" which I put it's photo on last entry.

Near the castle. Nice colour, isn't it?

Kopi Cafe. Coffee is spelled "kopi" in Malaysia.

What if I...? hehe brangan kalau2 study kt sini..

At Trinity College, Dublin. Their universities are huge and beautiful like museum.

On the road in Dublin. I think it's cute!

I loooooove this bun. Chocolat au pain<3

Found this in a exhibition about islam. Really want to meet her!

At a candy shop in Cork. Cute gleee kdai ni, tak sangka kedai gula-gula secomel tu betul2 wujud.

Agak batak kan?hehe takpe la. Kalau pergi tempat orang untuk kali pertama, mesti la macam ni. Seronok apa jadi orang yang mudah tersentuh sebab kita boleh rase nikmat melihat benda yang orang lain tak dapat pun nikmatnya. Bersyukur sangat sebab dapat melihat keindahan bumi ni, yang sebelum ni saya tak dapat bayang pun. Alhamdulillah. :)

Ireland and UK part1

Finally, I managed to upload photos, which you can see it on "Sakura Season Durian Season". It only takes few minutes to upload picrutes when I upload them through Picasa Web Album first.

Ok tak yah banyak cakap.

Depan Blarney Castle. It was windy a little bit but we really enjoyed the view there.

I went to Ireland, we landed in Dublin, stayed there for few days. Dublin is a nice place, people there are friendly and love to joking, have so many beautiful old building, rivers (or should I call it canals?). It was my first city in Europe, before this I haven't been to there. There I saw the difference of cities is Asia and in Europe. That's why I took a lot of buildings' picture! In Ireland, I went to Cork, then we took a bus to visit Blarney Castle. There is a stone there, people will kiss that stone. I don't know why because I didn't read about that. A taxi diver called us chicken because we didn't kiss that stone, so we asked, have you? He said "I'm from Cork so we don't have to do that". haha I love Irish people!
After that we took flight to Scotland.

This is at Birmingham, I think.

Houses in Dublin. They look small from outside, but it was MUCH larger inside. Sigh, I can't keep comparing to Japan's tiny little house but still I wonder how nice it would be if I live in such house. :( Especially that red door house! Blue one is nice too.

Even abandoned building also look nice! This is in Dublin.

Inside of university's chapel. They do wedding here too!

Kids feed swans.

Peaceful. Berangan nak jogging kt tepi tu tiap2 Sabtu. hehe. tapi hati-hati, banyak "peninggalan" anjing kt jalan sini. :p

One more thing I was surprised by is swans! In Asian countries like in Japan or Malaysia, it is quite hard to see swans. Kalau kt Jepun ada la jugak, but only in national park or protected area. Here, I saw so many swans, I also saw one of them pooing! lol it was disgusting!

At Edinburgh University. *wink2*

So many cashmere products sold here. Kesian sape yg xreti bezakan cashmere, pashmina dgn wool.  Tu macam tak reti bezakan sutera dengan kapas. =,=

I bought cashmere scarves (not in this picture!) in Scotland. Sebelum ni takde benda nak lilit kat leher.

Salt! kt tengah2 jalan university. Don't know why they put salt there but my guess is it is used during winter when road is frozen. Anyone have correct answer?

Kebab Mahal! I couldn't resist to take it's picture because in Malaysian language, "mahal" means expensive, so this shop's name is "Expensive Kebab". haha!

Went to stadium too. Not that excited because none of us were football fan. I like David Beckham only, and not his old team.:p

Pounds notes. Pounds and Euros were larger than RM or Yen. And wider. And more beautiful  design.

Syilings.

This is only part 1

a short trip to hot spring town

Setelah 10hari(oops it's 11days when I upload the draft!) menyebukkan diri dengan exam, akhirnya saya nak update gambar-gambar time pergi trip ke Hakone hari tu!
It was just a short one, 2D1N trip with my friends at uni. We went to a town famous for it's hot spring. Since it was a popular place to tourists, got so many places to visit and take a lot of picture. And what made I love the most is people's kindness! Just imagine if you are living in a place popular to tourist ex: Malacca or Cameroon Highland, you may be irritated or feel annoyed by tourists and their stupid questions like where is the train station?is this bus going to @@@?which bus I should take to go to this museum? etc etc. But people here never make a annoyed face or sombong or what, they showed us how to get to the museum we wanted go with a warm smile!

Ok, I will stop bebel. Banyak gambar ni. :)

ni bunga yg ada kat train station, sangat rasa dialu-alukan.hehe

Cute, isn't it? It's a fish cake actually!

Since Hakone is near a mountain(or is a mountain, idk), we took so many cable cars as transportation. But I kinda not comfortable with it cuz it was sooo packed and we as kind young generation should give the seat to elderies.lol Dan rasa pening bila naik lama2 sebab jalan bukit.uweek

Living room of the hotel we stayed. They had welcome cookies(or cakes?idk, it was kuih for sure.) and tea too!

ni pandangan dari rope way. ala yg gondola tgantung tu. bleh nampak asap2 keluar dr bukit. bau macam telur rebus! 

here it is, Black Boiled Egg. kulit dia warna hitam disebabkan tindak balas kimia yang blaku antara air hot spring dgn kulit telur tu. The taste?just like normal hard boiled egg, but it was nice eaten with a little bit of salt.

lps turun bukit tu tiba2 ad lake and a big pirate ship!

kene naik kapal untuk menyeberangi tasik ni. 

Just in case.:p

It was snowing too!

Ingat nak duduk jap tunggu bas, but it was wet due to the snow.

Ha! Tu dia bas yang sy naik untuk pg museum. Classic and cute, isn't it?

Dalam bas pun comel, got windows at ceilings and can see the snow, sky and trees.

Again, just in case.:p

It's the museum. Lot of Venetian glasses and masks. A lovely place to come with your beloved ones. Tapi tak yah kot kalau nak bwk anak2 comel2 hingus2 tu sbb nanti tak de mood nak jiwang2.hehe

*wink2*

Got a small river too, ada itik warna hijau dan itik warna purple lagi.

Had tea time here, yummy limited dessert. So nice and cute<3

Chiffon cake. 

Everything was so romantic and elegant here.

Kan bes kalau dapat datang bawak mak dengan ayah ke. Pastu ktorg adik beradik dari jauh sengih2 tengok dorg romantic. haha

Love it!

Just a lamp. But it was beautiful so I just couldn't resist to take some pic.hoho

Venetian mask.

So tired after visiting another museum after that. Sambil tunggu bas nak balik station tu jalan-jalan kaki ayam kt situ. Gila!hehe
