MUSLIM FRIENDLY SEOUL CITY

It was about my 8th time visiting Seoul, the capital city of South Korea. Over the years , the city captured attention many Muslim travelers from all over the world. Besides the beautiful scenaries, the modern culture, history to some of the world class amusement park, Seoul has many things to offer.

I love Seoul because i considered it is muslim friendly place to visit.

National centre mosque in Itaewon is very popular among local drama production which took Seoul as the location.  You should visit and perform your pray there at least once during your trip. Friday prayers will be the best because it is like a weekly gathering for Muslims across the world to greet each other in Seoul.

If you are going for convention which take place in Coex Convention centre near Samseong WTC subway station, the Coex Mall provide you with a very comfortable prayer room
.

While waiting for your flights back home, there are few muslim prayer room provided in Incheon airport itself. This one is near Cathay Pacific lounge at the airport.

Itaewon is the place you have to go for Muslim meals. There is also a halal grilled lamb in Yeoksam but since i was not into lamb, so i did not go there. For Korean dish which are halal , i had tried Eid Restaurant and Makan Halal Restaurant. These 2 are considered cheaper than the rest for Korean muslim food in Itaewon. They even hire Malaysian students to work with them as part time so you can speak Bahasa Melayu as well...

CUPCAKES AND MEMORIES

I supposed to pen down something very sweet when thinking about cupcakes. Yes, the complex sugar content easily turn everyone to diabetes. The delicate taste of the chocolate flavor was simply amazing. Some would prefer the red velvets.

Nevertheless, this picture not just about this cute minions cupcakes. They were designed to represent the 6 of us  when we were close to each other. Life is too short and while we were thinking all the future plans in our head and busy with our life, we lost one of the cupcakes.

To be frank, i was truly shocked our friend succumbed to her terminally ill final stage of cancer.  It is a great loss and all i can do now is praying that Allah grant her with Jannah..

COMING OUT FROM A HIATUS

I was in hiatus for nearly a year. It was obvious that work has taken more priority than my frantic attempt to blog. People always say a year older means a lot wiser. I believe without doubt that the statement is true. In fact, pursuing my career seemed to be the single most important thing in my life right now. Work has tripled if not doubled. I have counted again my age. It advances so rapidly even though my mind keep picturing me as in my 20's. And often too,  that people at this age questioned themselves about what future will be for them. What achievements have they showed to the world ? Sigh ....Life is tough but it is good.It teaches you about independence and no matter how hard you try, in certain scenario you doomed to fail. Most importantly, how do you strike back to garner some victories at the end .

EXACTLY A MONTH.....

It has been a month that aviation industry received the shocking news about MH 370 dissappearance in The Indian Ocean. Not only the families of the unfortunate flight passengers grieved for losing their loved ones, the whole world seemed to be in great sadness. Let us keep praying ,,,,,,,,

Jane, Jane , Jane

I am hooked to this new TV series, Jane By Design just because the impeccable stars in it. The double life of Jane , bustling in between high school and a promising fashionista is the key ingredient to the story.  In Malaysia,  season 1 of the show is reaching to the end and there are so many characters involved to add coloursto the story plot. Here is my analysis about each character ( pro's and con's)  and how  they actually  fit into real life... Mmmm....which one are U ?

Jane   : lovely petite and make people who loves me do anything for her, but yet sometimes indecisive.

Ben    : caring brother, very protective but really bad in love romance life .

Billy   :  Pun'k guy who feels comfortable in his own skin, but too scare to admit he is in love with Jane.

Nick  :  Footballer hunk, sporty guy, rich but doesnt have trust  and loyalty to carry along .

Gray  :  Obsessive bossy lady , hard-working , accepting new ideas, very successful in career  but sucks in 

             love and marriage life

Lulu   : Rich, spoilt , pretty but afraid about her relationship to be known publicly.

Jeremy : Character of fashion industry man, elegant,  appear very gentleman, but back-stabbers in silence

India   : Chick , lovely seductive demeanour , unfriendly look but revengeful.

Love all  the characters ! cant wait for season 2......

GO GREEN ... Your Life Gets Greener Too :)

I was looking for a greener path of life in this new vicinity. Amazed with the natural elements in Borneo, i set green colour as one of my main home colours.

Green gives such a refreshing feeling at home.

Sunday's visit to Gaya Street Market creates a new hobby in me that i could never imagine i am so much into it :)

Go green too in my washroom :)

The plants actually give oxygen to refresh home and they act as nice decor too....

I do hope life is always greener for me here and i really fell in love with this new hobby :)
