Book Review: Every Day

Image
Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh. The author name seemed familiar to me and after going through my mind, trying to remember back, I found out that David Levithan is the author that collaborate with John Green on a book entitled Will Grayson, Will Grayson. I really love that book because the story is about 2 different people with 2 different perspectives and views, but having the same name.  I found Every Day in Popular when I was hanging out with my housemates. First thing first, I read the synopsis behind the book.  "I wake up.  Immediately I have to figure out who I am. It's not just the body - opening my eyes and discovering whether the skin on my arm is light or dark, whether my hair is long or short, whether I'm fat or thin, boy or girl, scarred or smooth. The body is the easiest thing to adjust to, if you're used to waking up in a new one each morning. It's the life, the context of the body, that can be hard to grasp.  Every da...

4D3N Krabi Budget Trip (Day 2 Part 2) - Elephant Trekking

Image
Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh. Continuing from the previous Krabi post.  Here's a story of a girl (ehem woman?) who rode on an elephant and promised to try her best not to ride it again.  We arrived 20 minutes late at the van (read previous Krabi post to know why). Every single eye laid on us. Mak aih maaf semua.  The driver sent everyone back home. Eh? I thought we were supposed to go for elephant trekking? Ke tadi ada elephant trekking kat Emerald Pool cuma Dylla tak perasan? Apparently, the driver sent those who didn't book elephant trekking before bringing us to that place. We were like, what.. Why don't you just send us first? Another group of Malaysians and us were the one who left in the van. Emo kakak and family dalam lagi satu group tu. I was about to freak out, thinking I was being cheated for the second time haha.  The elephant trekking place was actually only 10-15 minutes from our hotel. The first elephant we saw today....

Foodylla @ Celop Celop (Satay Celup Warisan), Melaka

Image
Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.  Ever since I saw a long queue of people lining up along the roadside to enter a small restaurant called Capitol Satay Celup in Bukit Cina, Melaka, I wonder what is satay celup. I thought satay is normal to be dipped (celup) in kuah kacang? I'd always wanted to try it. But unfortunately, it is non halal. My wish was buried until I found a restaurant called 'Celop Celop', while I was on my way to the new AEON.  I had gone to this restaurant twice during weekdays, but never stepped out of the car because I doubted whether or not to try as I could see no one (sebab tak nampak kat dalam sangat) and the ambiance seemed not friendly and attractive enough. Lawa je cuma dari jauh nampak gelap sikit haha. Yesterday, I went out with my sister, Ica  and cousins. After a couple of minutes asking 'Nak makan mana' and got jawapan 'Tak kisah', we finally decided a place to eat, Celop Celop! Or its other name, Satay Cel...

4D3N Krabi Budget Trip (Day 2 Part 1) - Hot Spring Waterfall, Emerald Pool & Blue Pool

Image
Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh. Here comes the Krabi post! Today's package was 700baht per person (~RM70), included admission ticket fees for all places and transportation from Luna House to Hot Spring Waterfall, Emerald Pool & Blue Pool and Jungle Trekking and back to Luna House. At 8.15am we already got ready at the lobby. Surprisingly, breakfast was served on the small kitchen counter and I still can remember there were a type of cereal that can be eaten with either milk or yogurt, some readily toasted bread with jam and butter by its side, some fruits (pineapple and watermelon), hot drinks such as coffee and tea, orange juice and not forget, milk. I never knew our stay was included the breakfast as well, nonetheless, we had our breakfast heartily.  The van arrived sharp at 9.00am. Our place was the second last, before going to another hotel to fetch a couple. The journey took about 1 hour time and the first place we arrived was the Hot Spring Wat...

An Appreciation Post For Sobri

Assalamualaikum warahamtullahi wabarakatuh.  I am a girl who easily backs off when something goes wrong. I have a kind of mindset that when I do something wrong, I shall stop and go back to A, even if I almost arrived at the Zee. And this careless girl named Dylla has a guy friend who is really kind and patient named Sobri.  I feel so grateful to have this one guy in my life. Like I once answered when someone asked me in my ask.fm "Is sobri your future?" , I don't know how my future will be like as I'm neither a crystal gazer nor a fortune teller, but what I know is, he's my present and if He wills, he will be my future as well. This isn't a monthsary or an anniversary or a whatever-sweet-cheesy post. It's just a sincerely written post from my heart as a token of appreciation for someone who is really precious to me and has sacrificed a lot throughout our friendship and relationship.  Sobri and another friend of mine, Marsaid helped me a lot...

4D3N Krabi Budget Trip (Day 1 Part 2) - Night Market

Image
Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.   …continue from THE ARRIVAL. I slept for 2 hours that evening. It was still not enough for us to compensate the night that we stayed awake. Nonetheless, without any further delay or we might end up back to sleep, we got ready to go to Krabi Town immediately. Intentionally, I chose Sunday as the first day so that we have a chance to wander around in the night market. The night market in Krabi Town is only available on weekend nights, if I’m not mistaken it starts from 6.00pm till 9.30pm. Memula cam pening fikir nak naik apa. Nak guna MyTeksi tak boleh pula haha. Taking a mini van would cost us 800baht for a round trip, while tuk tuk 600baht. Can save about RM20, so we chose tuk tuk. Almaklumlah, budget trip haha. The night market is in Krabi Town, and it took about 25 minutes for us to arrive by a tuk tuk. Naik tuk tuk rasa macam habis kering muka kena angin all the time punya pasal haha. Night market is on the rig...
