ZahrahRashid | #FZRTravelogue Hong Kong

Hi 😊

I am sorry to inform that this is a very very late post as I've traveled to Hong Kong on 30th May 2015 to 3rd June 2015. I am very sorry that I can't share any latest tips on this trip as this was two years ago! 😬

Okay, let's start. This entry will have a lot of pictures. A lot. 😂 Okay, our ticket KUL-HKG-KUL if I'm not mistaken, it's RM8++ because it was 2 years ago. 🤦🏻‍♀️ You'll be flying for about 4hours from KUL to HKG. So, it's great if your flight do have in-flight entertainment and vice versa.

Typical photo of passport and boarding pass 😜

Yayyyy! Welcome to Hong Kong 🇭🇰 

We took a bus from the airport to our hotel, Inn Hotel. We will stay at this hotel for 2 nights. The hotel is located at Portland Street and it is in walking distance to Yau Ma Tei train station and Ladies Market. Refer to Google, the price of the hotel is RM2++ per night. However, it is not that hard to find a hotel nowadays as you can compare the price easily through websites like Agoda (I am a big fan of Agoda and that's the reason why Agoda comes first. Haha), Trivago, Traveloka and etcetera. Errrr, I think I should advise you to look at the size of the room as it might be very small 😬

11 of us 😊 I'm the one who took the picture 🤦🏻‍♀️

So, this is Hong Kong! One of the largest export economy in the world 🤓 

Do you see what I see?

A picture at Nathan Rd ✌🏼Then we went to Ladies Market. Make sure you do have a map with you always if you don't have any internet data subscription as wifi is only available at hotels and restaurants, at that time. We have our dinner at our room (we brought from Malaysia - Maggie, bread, biscuits, etc) as it is a bit hard to find halal restaurant around. And if it is, it might be very expensive. 

Second day, we went to The Peak Tower, Golden Bauhinia Square, Avenue of Stars and Madame Tussaud's. Unfortunately, we didn't have the chance to go to The Peak Tower by the Peak Tram as it is under maintenance and we went to The Peak Tower by bus instead. 

We took a lot of pictures at Madame Tussaud's, of course! You may find the photos here : 

Hong Kong Album 😉

Honestly, I didn't really remember anymore this trip's itinerary but I am doing my best to keep it here in my online diary 💕

We had our lunch at McDonald at the city center if I'm not mistaken 😅

At night, we had our dinner at an Arabic restaurant. Of course, the menu will be Rice, Chicken and Lamb, juices (typical menu of an Arabic restaurant). So yeah, the total for our dinner that night was RM5++ after converted to MYR 💸. 

We bought Madame Tussaud's tickets through its website, but it can also be bought it at 11Street with cheaper price as you can redeem your promos and Bcard points! 

A lot of skyscrapers right? The tallest is International Commerce Centre. It is 6th tallest building in the world! The city scenery is fascinating from up here 🌸

Third day, we went for river cruise at the area of Jumbo Floating Restaurant, Hong Kong Jewellery Shop and Ladies Market, Again! 😂 That is the famous Jumbo Floating Restaurant. Next, we went to Hong Kong Jewellery shop where you can buy any type of jewels here. Gem stones are also available here! You name it! The prices also vary, depending on the item. Me? No! I didn't buy any there. Haha. As for souvenirs, it is recommended for you to buy it at Ladies market as you can bargain the price! 

We had our lunch as usual, we brought bread and biscuits. Well, we've had our breakfast at hotel; no, not the breakfast that provided by the hotel but Maggie cup and Brahim's! These are foods that you can easily bring anywhere you go as its only takes 5 minutes the longest to be ready! Also, you didn't need any stove or pan as all you need is hot water 😜 And, if you're traveling in groups, make sure you do bring these foods sufficiently. 

Fourth day in Hong Kong, we moved to Hollywood Hotel as it is near to Hong Kong Disneyland as we bought 2 days pass for Disneyland! It is a nice hotel with Disney theme! As usual, a lot of pictures taken! Please do visit this album ya : Hong Kong Album 💖 Well, I don't have much to say as this trip was two years ago and I am pretty sure there'll be a lot of changes as time goes by. Anyway, Hong Kong is one of a best place to go! Oh, forgot to mention that we spent plus minus around RM2k average per head for this trip. 

That is all for now, I am trying my best to update all of my #FZRTravelogue as soon as possible in this online diary of mine!

Cheers!

ZahrahRashid | Advanced 21st birthday celebration.

Assalamualaikum and hi!

Alhamdulillah, thank you Allah still give chances for me to live life on this world. Also I feel blessed with my life with peoples around me who loves me and I also love them so much. Especially my Ibu and Abi. I am sorry for my doing lately. I feel more comfortable sharing my problem with my friends. I won't let you both worries about me. Your own daughter is fine, dear Abi and Ibu :) 

Yeah, as you all know from my previous posts, I have a faithful sidekick which I always write about him here. I have a sidekick longggg time ago when I am at secondary school but it does not ended up really well as we need to separate as our home is far from each other. But, she still my sidekick or my closest friend among friends which I can called her anything I want because of our relationship. The closest you are, the shortest or rudest your words used. Am I right? I guess, well yeah as we already know how the person is, her/his likes and dislikes, and etc. What I can say, he is a really caring sidekick who always by my side, being my personal assistant for free sometimes, being my best listener and adviser, being my teacher for something that I don't familiar with, being my back-up in my hard time, being my best friend that I have never had one before. Thank you for what you have done to me dear sidekick, Muhammad Hafiz Bin Ikhsan. I am really grateful that I have a best friend which I can share anything. Okay, I won't say more about him as I will running out of idea when I want to post about him on next entry on his birthday. 

So, during my midterm break last week, we spent our midterm together. I really enjoyed myself and reflecting myself to be more mature and think more wiser. I am still in progress to keep up myself. Move on and stay positive cause I know He has a better plan for me though I have my own plan. I just plan but He decided. My midterm went well and we ended up our midterm with birthday celebration! By the way, my sidekick, Muiz and I were born on the same month which is March but different dates and years. Muiz, March 8th, Me, March 17th and Hafiz, March 19th. We celebrated together this year. It is indeed a splendid birthday celebration I have ever had. Thank you so much to everyone who make the celebration a successful. I have typed more I guess. Let's enjoy the pictures? 

This is my Pandora bracelet with new charm from my sidekick, Hafiz.

This is the new charm which he said : It shows that don't be in blue (don't be sad). Cause when I am sad, actually I am selfish as I will make Ibu and Abi worried about me, my friends worried about me, other peoples who loves me worried about me while I didn't think at all the feelings people surrounds me as I am sad he advised. I have realized it now. I am selfish and try not to anymore.

Also, the flat shoes is from him. Thanks once again. :)

Ohhh, your wishes make me touched. Yeah, I am now a woman, not a girl.

Never feels this happy to celebrate my 21st birthday. May Allah bless me always.

This cardigan is Nath's present for me. Thank you so much Nahylyne! 

Hafiz, Muiz, Rain, Nath, Zack, thank you for the great celebration. I am sorry that I have made trouble that time which caused us to back to our hotel early. But, it is a midnight memories which I won't forget! May this friendship will last forever. Aamiin. Oh, wait for my next entries lovelies!

Assalamualaikum.

ZahrahRashid | Jakarta and Bandung.

Assalamualaikum and hi peeps!

How are you doing? Hope everything is fine and hope you are always enjoying your life while you are alive. Life is too beautiful to regret. Set your goals and never look back. Always move on and positive! I am here, again in front of my ASUS typing in this little blog. I am here again to share best moments in my life which it is nice to remember. I am glad with this chances from Him. Alhamdulillah, thank you Allah. It is indeed a great vacation to begin the new year of 2014. May we all be blessed always! Aamiin. 

First and foremost, Hahaha! Sorry I put my picture as the beginning of this entry. Just sit back and enjoy reading mine! This is me, I am 20 years 10 months old and I love green. A simple girl with simple mind to read. I will be nice to everybody but I am quite a shy person to start. I am a dreamer.

From left, me, my faithful sidekick, Hafiz and his nephew Yui. Ibu asked for their help to send us to the airport on the day we are boarding. 

Once we have arrived at Kuala Lumpur International Airport, KLIA. 

Umi, ilah, tiah, anas and me :)

The boarding pass and my cute passport!

While in the train to the aircraft.

In the train with my lovely Ibu and Abi.

I can see our aircraft! We are all excited especially me as I wanted to survey some items for my wedding.

Jakartaaaaa, we are coming!

Cause I love selfie :D

With my crazy little brother!

In the aircraft, Adib, Adik, Me, Athirah.

We arrived at Jakarta at about 1 o'clock. Once we're arrived a van was waiting for us at the Soekarno airport and ready to take us to Jakarta town. There, we stay at our relatives house. The first meal we have there is Pecal Ayam which it is nice for me and I still remember how it's taste. Yummmmmmm!

Second day, once we woke up, get ourselves ready and we are heading to Bandung. 

Again, a picture of myself. Hahaha. :P 

*I've told ya I love to selfie!

It takes about 3 hours travelling by van from Jakarta to Bandung. We used highway cause we want to enjoy old road when we are heading to Jakarta also to avoid traffic at the highway! We are all hungry and asked the 'supir' (driver) to find a safe restaurant for Muslims. I knew Indonesia is a Muslims country but when it comes to food, it is crucial to find a halal food. So we went to Restoran Ibu Imas because that restaurant succeed to convince us. The restaurant's style of presenting their food is unique and different. Have you ever eat at Sushi King? Haaa, Ibu Imas Restaurant is such Sushi King's style but in Ibu Imas the foods did not moving. :D 

By the way we have exchange our money to Rupiah at Bandung. I forgot what's the mall name is! Huhu. This is what left that I can snap cause I have spent some!

So here we go, me, ibu, abi, adik.

Thank you Abi, Thank you Ibu. I love you both so much.

Adib, Athirah, Anas, Umi, Athiah.

At night, we went to Trans Studio Bandung and we only have about 2 hours to entertain ourselves as it'll closed at 8pm. We need to go there or otherwise we will spend whole next day at the theme park. We won't do it as we planned to shop on the next day. Bandung, it is a place to shop after all. About Trans Studio Bandung, it is a nice indoor theme park indeed which in Malaysia we have Cosmo's World at Time Square. But, Trans Studio Bandung is much more different and better. I can say it is much more like mini indoor Genting Highlands's theme park. It is a must visit place if you are going to Bandung for 'liburan' (entertainment). 

Third day, Haha, again my picture. No! please keep on reading. I promise there's not more than one I'll selfie again! 

We are going back to Jakarta from Bandung using the old road which we can enjoy the village view. It is a joyful journey I can say. I don't remember what's this place named but it is one of the attractive place to visit. 

My cousin and me :)

Enjoying the nature. Subhanallah!

Also enjoying the grilled corn. 

Ummpphhh!

Nyummmm!

We arrived at Jakarta quite late as the journey took us about 5 hours on the road. It is tiring but we are enjoying ourselves. Next day, which is the last day at Indonesia, I have a chance to be a passenger of  bike which my Adik's ride. Wowww. You gonna need a courage to ride a bike there! It is a busy road which I myself afraid to ride a bike though I have full license. It is an expensive experience!

Okay! Promise this is the last I selfie!

This is the van that I am talking about. Before he send us to the airport, we went to shop at Jakarta. I didn't really remember the mall, but what I remembered Mangga 2. Haha.

Me and Anas.

Abi, Ibu and Me.

We arrived at KL around 10pm if I'm not mistaken. Thanks to someone cause willing to take us home from the airport. Thanks too to Hafiz and his sister's friend. Thank you.

Hey, what if you guys wait for my next entries? Take care!

Assalamualaikum.
