<br />
Tonight's catch up dinner was a little bit different. There was 5 of us and we're all ladies in our 30s. We have so much in common and yet we are all world's apart. We are living in different stages of our life : being pursue, dating, getting married, married and expecting a child. These are the best time of a woman's life.<br />
<br />
BUT....after all these stages, what are the things to look forward to except for raising a kid ?<br />

<br />
i tried drawing thicker brows but it doesn't suit me coz i have a small face (perasan..hehe) but it is true. i look weird to be honest! you can say i look top heavy...haha...<br />
<br />
what i wanna say or share is that, i finally muster up the courage late last year to get it done again. as most places are charging a lot for it, i was reluctant. but i found someone who charges a reasonable amount for eyebrows embroidery and she will come to your house to do it as well which is a plus point.<br />

<br />
yesterday, my brother came over to pass me some of my old treasures (4 bottles of absolut vodka - unopened...woohoo!) and we were just sitting down there chatting about nothing in particular and having an affogato each (coz we're luxe like that..)<br />
<br />
i finally assembled the lego that i forced him to buy me and got it wrapped nicely before giving it to me a couple of days ago. it's a camper van lego and it's kinda cute and all. if you are keen, the lego model is #60117.<br />
<br />
i had fun assembling it and since he was at my place, i asked him to go take a look at it. he brought it to the table and started playing with it and mind you he'll be turning 33 this year. while he was playing with it i tot of an idea. i said to him, 'hey! why don't you make them do sexy naughty things in a series of 4 photos and it tells a story?' he obliged as usual and this is the result :<br />

I personally felt that we should've stayed in Kyoto a bit longer. I'll do that the next time I visit Japan again!<br />
<br />
So on Day 6, we finally found time for a proper sit down breakfast at Komeda Coffee.<br />

<br />
Off we go to Osaka Castle and to reach the castle, we must first walk through a park. It's not as scenic as Kyoto and we all felt that the air pollution here is higher.<br />

I took a photo of the area (in case we got lost) which is silly because there is no way that we will get lost in Japan. It's a beautiful castle and smaller than we imagined it to be. There are 2 options to get in to the castle. One is to queue for the elevator and the other is to climb up quite a number of flight of stairs to get to the top.<br />
<br />
We chose the latter because it was too hot to stand under the hot sun to queue and there were a lot of old people and parents with strollers. It was pretty tiring to climb all the way but the view was beautiful and it was windy AF up there. We love, love, love it!<br />
<br />
We were expecting to see the place as it was centuries ago but it was converted into a museum with videos and stuff. It was fun to sit in on some of the video presentation to learn about the castle and the number of times it was burnt down and reconstructed.<br />
<br />
After our cultural walk around the castle, we head on over to Umeda for some much needed shopping and free and easy time.<br />

We went shopping around Umeda area (Kiddyland, Yodobashi, Hankyu etc). Bought some Gundam and One Piece ship just because we love Gunpla.

Previously, we travel together to Universal Studio Singapore for Mr Hubs birthday. Being the kiasu us, we wore slippers and ended up being the only 3 human beings in Osaka doing so. Nobody wears slipper outdoor there, not even the tourist!! Lesson learnt!<div>

Anyway, we queued forever on the Harry Potter ride. After that, we felt like half the day is gone and drained of energy. If you really want to try all or most of the rides, it is best to purchase the express pass. Don't end up like us, only managed to take 2 rides out of the whole place.<br />
<br />
By the time we came out of the second ride and bought some souvenirs, it is already evening time. So we decided to take a train to the Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan.<br />

This place is the most expensive entrance fee that we have paid throughout our trip (<span style="font-size: x-small;">minus Universal Studio Osaka</span>). It costs us 2300yen per person. It was worth it coz if I remembered correctly, there are 8 floors of sea animals.<br />

We then walked around the neighbourhood in search of dinner. I think the number of people on the street around 8pm then was less than 10. So we opt for a small lil japanese diner for yakitori.</div>

We can't read Japanese so we took a pic of the restaurant's name just in case if anyone wants to go give it a try. It is on the way back to the train station so you won't miss it.<br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "imprima" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">We checked out from our hostel and left our luggages with them while we head out to the final sightseeing spot in Kyoto. Kiyomizudera Temple </span><span style="background: white; color: #474747; font-size: 9pt;">(</span><span style="background: white; color: #474747; font-family: "microsoft jhenghei" , sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;">清水寺</span><span style="background: white; color: #474747; font-size: 9pt;">, literally "Pure Water Temple") </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "imprima" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">is a must visit temple there. The temple sits at the top of the mountain area (built only with woods) with a busy shopping area surrounding its path and old residential area. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes because it is an uphill walk to reach the temple. </span></div>

<div>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "imprima" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">The temple opens from 6am and closes depending on the season. Do checkout their website for more details <a href="http://www.kiyomizudera.or.jp/en" target="_blank">here</a>. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "imprima" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Anyway, we took a bus there from our hostel area and walked for about 20-25 minutes and was sweating like pigs when we got to the temple.</span></div>

We had our share of absorbing the local culture and sightseeing. So we left the temple to explore the makan-makan and shopping area. By then, the place was bustling with tourist taking photos with their selfie sticks, children running around and last minute souvenir shopping.<br />

And so we left Kyoto with a heavy heart because we are emo like that. Rushed back to the hostel to grab our luggages and head over to Kyoto Station to take the train to Nankai Namba Station. We booked an apartment via AirBnB in the Namba area. It's a fairly new apartment from the looks of it and very quiet.<br />

We don't mind staying here again for our next trip to Osaka. The host was nice enough to include a wifi egg for use. So now we have 2 that we could bring out when one of it ran out of battery.<br />
<br />
Off we go to explore Osaka city area nearby our apartment coz we were famished by then. I did some research beforehand that there is a place here that serves 100yen sushi. In case if you are curious to try, this is the <a href="http://www.osaka-info.jp/en/gourmet/japanese/post_52.html" target="_blank">site</a>.<br />

We woke up bright an early on Day 3 to explore further realms of Kyoto (hehe...) We are more familiar with the area and had the options to take a bus or train. But first, we visit our favourite Lawson for more onigiri for breakfast.<br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;">My choice for the day (left pic). Natto maki, Ikura onigiri and my favourite canned coffee. The natto maki is quite addictive. My sister and husband could not stand the starchiness and the smell. What a waste! My sister's choice of breakfast; some kinda fried rice onigiri and juice. I dare not share my husband's breakfast because it seems like he bought half the shelves of onigiri...hehe</span></div>

There are many ways to get to Arashiyama area but we took the Hankyu Line because it is more convenient for us and the station is nearer to our hostel. The train is so rustic. Reminds me of Beitou in Taipei. After looking at the map below, we decided that we have made the right choice by arriving from the Hankyu Station. We would first cross the Togetsu Bridge and enjoy the view of the river before entering Tenryu-ji Temple and off to the Bamboo Grove.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It was very cooling inside the Bamboo Grove area. I expected the place to be bigger from all the photos that I've seen online but the actual area is quite small and packed with tourists. After kepoh-ing around for a bit and took countless selfies, we left the place and walk towards the JR Arashiyama station to head towards Kinkaku-ji Temple aka The Golden Pavilion.</div>

After a hearty lunch and Facetime with our parents, we head over to Kinkaku-ji Temple to buy the ticket. It is 400 yen/person. It is beautiful and I think it would be more beautiful in November around now. We went there too early and the leaves have not changed colours yet. The temple is well kept and the Matcha Ice Cream is to die for. But it is more expensive than the ones sold in the city. </div>

We left the temple happy and took a bus to Nijo-jo Castle. It was the residence of the 1st shogun during the Edo Period. And since there is a direct bus route there, we took it. We arrived there in the nick of time, they were set to close in half and hours time. </div>

It took a long time to hail a bus back to Kyoto Station area because it was peak hours and all the buses were full. I think we waited for at least 4 buses before successfully riding one and we had to stand all the way back to Kyoto Station. It was close to dinner time, the sun has set and we were famished from all the walking.</div>

KYK Tonkatsu was our dinner choice. There are many options of normal, gold and black pig tonkatsu. We felt that the<i> Tonkatsu by Ma Maison</i> chain tasted better. </div>

We walked around the underground malls in Kyoto Station for a bit and bought ourselves a neck pillow each from MUJI. It is cheaper to buy from Japan than Malaysia and we have been eyeing that neck pillow for a while now. It was a fantastic buy, no regret whatsoever from any of us.</div>

After shopping, the night was still young and we were contemplating to go back to the hostel or to visit another place which is opened 24 hours. The concern was time on the following day because we have one more sightseeing place to visit before leaving Kyoto for Osaka. After much deliberation, we chose to take a train to Fushimi Inari-Taisha Shrine. It was the Nara Line, very old railway with visible cobwebs on the ceiling. </div>

We wished that we had a DSLR with us at that time because it is hard to take quality photos with the smartphone at night. The good thing about visiting the shrine at night is that the air is cooling, there are less people hence, easier to snap these torii pics without disturbance. And at the same time, the place can be quite eerie at night. </div>

Happy that we made it to the shrine and our body is sticky beyond words due to the long hours out walking about. It is time to head back to our hostel to freshen up before we have some cakes and coffee at a cafe nearby our hotel. The name of the cafe is Cafe Reims. This place reminds me of the Japanese series "Antique Cake Shop"(<i>Year 2001</i>) by my boyfriend at that time <i>Hideaki Takizawa</i>. Hehe...he was so cute and handsome then.<br />

Day 2 of our Japan trip was our most tiring day because of my plan for the day. Please refer to my Fitbit steps above to gauge how much we have walked on this particular day.<br />
<br />
We woke up fairly early around 8-ish and left the hostel to the nearest convenient store to buy breakfast. We bought a variety of onigiri and coffee to start the day. And we did not want to waste time as we had a lot planned for the day.<br />

It costs us 1,300 yen per person and even though the portion don't look like much, we were full under dinner time. Probably because it is buckwheat noodle. </div>

To get there, it was a long journey and a picturesque one. We took the Keihan Line to Demachi-Yanagi station. From Demachi-Yanagi station, we changed to Eizan Electric Railway and our destination was Kibune-guchi Station.</div>

Initially, we planned to go to Kurama for the onsen but due to the limited days that we have there and so much to see, we scrapped that idea altogether. If you wish to check it out, click <a href="http://www.kurama-onsen.co.jp/index_e.html" target="_blank">here</a>. </div>

Anyway, we stopped at Kibune-guchi Station and you will notice that this station is different from the rest in the city. It is small and cramped and there will be a worker on standby to collect your used train ticket. Walk down a flight of stairs and you will notice a cute little bus on your left. It is a "Kyoto Bus" (<i>like Bas Mini in Malaysia</i>) that will take you all the foot of the Kibune hillside.</div>

The bus fare is 160 yen one way. Be sure to check for the timing to go back to the station from this sign here. Every season's timing is different. Unless you don't mind walking downhill and it should take about 30 minutes. We saw some people walking along the way and enjoying the forested scenery. Here are some photos from the bus stop to the peak of Kibune area.</div>

Along the way, there are many quaint restaurants serving Kaiseki meals. The patrons are all well dressed and drives expensive cars. We saw a lot of ladies wearing beautiful kimono and the men in suits. (<i>mostly elderly people</i>) The younger ones (<i>like us...hehe</i>) were busy taking photos of all the shrines there.<br />
<br />
After a wonderful few hours in Kibune, we left the area to visit Ginkaku-ji or better known as the <i>Temple of the Silver Pavilion</i>. Just so you know, the temple itself is not silver in colour. It was initially built as a retirement villa and gardens in the early 1400s but then changed to a Zen temple.<br />

It was quite a humid day and a short climb to view the temple from the top of the garden area. We decided to leave and check out some shops along the way.<br />

We walked along the Philosopher's Path to get to Honen-in Temple and along the way there was some sexy trishaw boys offering their services. We declined the offer as we wanted to chat and walk. Along this path, we also noticed a lot of students practicing for marathon or something. </div>

We find Honen-in Temple a bit eerie because it was quiet and gloomy. And the trees are dense therefore blocking any sunlight from the entrance area. We saw some tourist went exploring at the graveyard area, we wonder whether they know what it was.</div>

After Nanzen-ji Temple, it started drizzling a bit and we were dead tired by then. We walked to the main area to hail a taxi to our next destination. A cup of coffee from % Arabica. According to their website, they closes at 6 and it was close to 5pm. We had to rush and my husband was grumbling by then and he said that the coffee better be good or else <i>&^&$#%@^&$%#$</i> hahahahahahaha....<br />

We heard great things about the coffee here at % Arabica and being coffee lovers, we must not miss this chance to try the coffee here. It's the best coffee I've ever had and I can still remember the taste. We all agreed on this and it was a trip worth making. The head barista Junichi Yamaguchi is a co-owner and celebrity barista with his own fan page. Coffee lovers will make the trip to meet him in person.<br />

<br />
I would like to share my itinerary to Osaka and Kyoto with you, whoever you are. Since you took the time to read it, I will share whatever that I remembered from this fun trip with you. I tried planning this trip's itinerary countless times but was not successful until the day before the trip. I had a hard time understanding the Japan train system.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I had no problem with other countries's stations and stuff but Japan's train system is by far the most complicated one that I have ever seen. There are too many type of trains, railways, private railways and etc running the same line and heading towards the same stations. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
But once we got there and after a few days, we finally understood how it works. And we did not book any land tours at all. I believe that it is always fun to explore on our own. With the help of an ex-colleague who had been to Kyoto and shared some "must see" places beforehand actually makes the planning easier.<br />

We rent a pocket wifi from <a href="http://www.wiyo.my/" target="_blank">wiyo</a> before leaving Malaysia because it's easy, convenient and we cannot live without social media. Check out their website for promos and we paid RM28 per day for unlimited data in Japan and can be shared up to 10 devices. Since there was only 3 of us, we each pay less than RM10 a day each for super fast data. This is definitely a cheaper option than switching on your own international data. (<i>If you're wondering whether I was paid to talk about this, I am not. I have tried this before and thinks that this is a good device to have when traveling overseas therefore I am sharing this with you.</i>)</div>

We flew to Kansai International Airport (KIX) via Air Asia X and arrived in the morning. Few days prior to arrival, I booked the "ICOCA x HARUKA" card <a href="https://www.westjr.co.jp/global/en/travel-information/pass/icoca-haruka/" target="_blank">here</a>. If you are planning to go to Kyoto from the airport, HARUKA express is the fastest way to get there. The ICOCA is a prepaid card which you can use to take trains, buses, buy stuff from convenient stores. You can reload or recharge it at the stations that have a sign that reads "IC".<br />

Upon arrival, we went to the West Japan Railway (West JR) Company's office to collect the "ICOCA x HARUKA" card first. Please print out all the documents. We booked the one way pass because we are not staying in Kyoto for the entire trip. </div>

After collecting our cards, we walked to the building called "AEROPLAZA". You will be able to see it on your left when you exit the West JR office. We walked over there to store our luggage at the lockers. They have huge ones and it's the cheapest in the airport area. For 200 yen, you may store your luggage for a day. </div>

It was drizzling upon our arrival. It is always good to be prepared in order to save money and time to look for an umbrella. I finally got a chance to wear my bargain buy raincoat from Cotton On, the red <i>kambing biri-biri</i> (sheep) pattern. A lot of Japanese thought I was from Mainland China because of my raincoat. Haha! My husband is camera shy therefore he is not in any photos yet.<br />

Our first stop was to a nearby Lawson (<i>convenient store</i>) for coffee because we did not manage to sleep much on the flight. Head back to the West JR office area because the train station is there. We use our ICOCA card to enter and took the train to Rinku Town. (1 stop) We were there to check out <b>Bike World </b>(<i>if you are a motorbike enthusiast</i>) which is located at the Rinku Seacle.<br />

We walked around this area until 3-ish in the afternoon. We need to head back to the airport to catch our HARUKA express train to Kyoto. We were due to check in to our hostel at 5pm. Japan is known for train schedules, but I guess we were a little unlucky that day because 1 or 2 of the trains was not working its normal routes and have to be sent for maintenance. And that actually throw off the balance of the passengers a little bit. We had no place to sit as it was full and we ended up sitting on the floor of the train for the whole journey.<br />

By the time we arrived in Kyoto, the sky is already dark and it was only 5 in the evening. The wind got a bit more chilly and we opt to take a taxi to our hostel (<i>to save time and we have big luggages</i>). If you need to take a taxi, please bring along the address in Japanese because they can't read English. And if the place that you're looking for is new, chances are, it is not updated on the taxi digital map system. What wow-ed us was that if you have the phone number, you can key it into the system and it will show you the direction to the place. Taxi drivers in Japan are super helpful and they will call to find out the exact location and ensure that you get there safely. </div>

We paid about RM80 per person per night.The staff working here can speak English well and are really helpful. So, you don't have to worry about getting lost or have communication problems. The toilets are clean and have hot running water. They also provide shampoo, body wash, hair dryer, hair tie (for ladies) and etc. Forgot to take a pic of their public area. Check out the website, it's all there.</div>

It was quite a long day for us and we were famished by the time we get settled in the hostel and shower. The last time we showered was the day before, thank God it was not summer in Japan. Our hostel is in the heart of Kyoto city and it's super convenient to go anywhere.</div>

We stumbled upon a popular ramen chain called <span style="color: #351c75;"><b>"Ichiran Ramen"</b></span>, they are opened for 24 hours. And being the<i> sua gu/jakun</i> that we are, we didn't know that we had to order via a vending machine. But the waitress was helpful even though she don't speak any English. It was sign language time and we somehow manage to place our individual order. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After ordering, we are each given our ticket meals (<i>like train tickets</i>) and another form for further instructions. For e.g how hard do you want your noodle to be, how spicy do you want your broth to be and any additional orders. I like my noodles super hard and less spicy.</div>

The special thing about this place is that you eat alone. Which I have heard of in the past and had never experienced it before. You basically have your own cubicle and a water dispenser. The cup is there so have a blast. And you basically don't need to order any drinks in Japan if you order food because they will provide you water. But if you want to drink something else, please order. </div>

<br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"><span style="font-size: large;">"CRYING is the only way your eyes speak when your mouth can't explain how broken you are."</span></span><br />
<br />
i shared this quote on my fb page yesterday which i found on wattpad. it seems fitting for a lot of situations. a friend of mine thought that something bad happened to me, which is not true. i'm doing fine. just made some wrong decisions recently and am set to correct it asap.<br />
<br />
i kinda missed the days when i blog about nonsense and wonder whether anyone reads my blog. and now i almost forgot that i had one in the first place. been taking up a few new hobbies (which occupies my mind most of the time and money), reading on wattpad instead of the books that i bought from BBW sale blah blah blah.<br />
<br />
+++<br />
<br />
and i never thought that i enjoy being alone so much during the day.<br />
<br />
when i was working in my previous job, i must have lunch buddies with me all the time. i feel weird eating by myself. probably this was caused by my bad experience in my housing area. there are too many "<i>kepohs</i>" (nosy SOBs) here.<br />
<br />
but these days, i yearn for alone time, all the time. especially during the day when i can just sit at a cafe, stare into space or let others stare at me while i sip on my cup of cappuccino and order another one (<i>just because i feel like it</i>). or start crocheting like an old lady (<i>but that is your perception</i>), i think i'm hip.... haha<br />
<br />
there was once when i started crocheting at a local cafe that is very popular among the young 'uns in PJ at night. i overheard the conversations of the "<i>kepohs</i>" seated next to my table. they consists of 2 couples around 18-21 y.o and one of the boy was curious and started asking his gf what the hell i was doing with my crochet needle and stuff. the girl will normally be the nonchalant one and replied, "i dunno, i saw my aunt did that last time, i think it's knitting or something." and the boy asked, "do you know how to do it?". "pffft. no" she replied. don't be jealous just because you're too lazy to take up a hobby except to pick up your smartphone and start taking selfies.<br />
<br />
anyways, she was wrong. what i was doing was not knitting, it was crocheting and yes, there's a difference. knitting consists of using 2 needles and above. crocheting is done using a single crochet hook. TQVM!<br />
<br />
+++<br />
<br />
today though, i feel extra lazy. i woke up and started coughing my lungs out. it has progressed from having the mother of all sore throats and fever to cough. and despite my best effort to incubate it within my body, it failed. and i hate coughs. it takes forever to cure it and i do believe in the old wives' tale that if i'm suffering from coughs, i shouldn't eat chicken because it will worsen the situation and chicken is my staple food. without my staple food, i go psycho!<br />
<br />
but i did make myself a cup of coffee, do some sexy reading on wattpad and then took a dump. and attempt to blog about it now. i'm still contemplating on my bath and lunch and it's 1.03pm. today is definitely not a day that i want to drive out but i can't order nando's as well because of my cough and i don't feel like cooking instant noodle. should i go back to sleep? tough choices... and i do want to build my "ONE PIECE: Thousand Sunny" pirate ship which i bought from a GUNDAM fair a couple of months back.<br />
<br />
+++<br />
<br />
my brother introduce a new series from comedy central to me yesterday and it got me hooked. the last show was "Jane the Virgin". anyway, this comedy period drama is called "Another Period", what a punny and fitting title. it was so funny that i watched all 8 episodes in half a day. i need a life, seriously!<br />
<br />
xoxo, me<br />

I reread the question and stared into space for a good couple of minutes. Nothing came to mind. Am I too old to have a dream? Did I ever dreamt of having a dream or goal in life?<br />
<br />
Maybe, just maybe, I've never had any dream. I told her I had no dream. 꿈 없어요 was my exact words. She didn't believe it. I don't blame her. She just finished high school and moving to a foreign country soon to pursue her tertiary education.<br />
<br />
When someone just finished high school, they feel as though they can conquer the world. And can be anything that they want to be if they put their mind into it. But after college and work for a decade, the light gets dimmer.<br />
<br />
I only feel 피곤해요 (tired) all the time. I just want to rest and relax.<br />
<br />

I want to take pictures so bad but I have not been anywhere over the weekends. Since I started learning Korean language every Saturday afternoon, there's no chance to go anywhere. I was fortunate to have a weekend break last week and 2 weeks before and took the opportunity to snap some pics.<br />
<br />
This is my first roll of Tudorcolor XLX 200 which my cousin bought for me from Hong Kong last year. And I almost forgot about this film until recently. I have too many films lying around.<br />
<br />
Here are some of the shots I took from a fishing village in Sekinchan, Selangor Malaysia. Hope that you enjoy it.<br />

All the above photos were taken by me on my Canon AE-1 SLR camera. No filter or adjustment via photoshop to it. This is the beauty of film photography. Au naturel~ </div>

Can't stop raving about it...haha...<br />
Wanted to test the lens everywhere and everything. Be it dark areas, full of light and bright sunlight, I'll be there.<br />
Empire Damansara is a place that I personally love. There's nothing there really except for a few shops (for now) and beautiful architecture.<br />
<br />
Someone commented on one of my post asking about the change of deco at this place recently. Well, this post is for you and yes, they have changed the red chinese lanterns to bright pink and baby blue brollies :) <br />

I bought my Canon AE-1 from him as well. Very speedy delivery.<br />
<br />
Anyway, I was super excited to receive the lens and went out to test the lens. My sister drove me to Pavilion KL for some shopping and photography. Here are some photos from that roll which my sister dubbed it as her own mini album.<br />

I love the results but my sifu said it's best to shoot a roll of color to see whether the camera is fully working. I'll do that on the second roll.<br />
<br />
Here are some of my favorite shots from the 1st roll and hope that you like it as well.<br />

After my last post, I got very sick.<br />
<br />
Just recovered recently and I'm only gonna think of positive things from now onwards.<br />
<br />
I am limiting myself to 2 cups of coffee (max) a day for now.<br />

Utterly, disgustingly lazy.<br />
<br />
I have neglected my blog which had kept me sane when I first started it. Not that I'm mental.<br />
<br />
Anyway, last year was shit. Somehow I have endured it. And I welcome 2014 with open arms and positivity.<br />
<br />
I visited more clinics that I dare to count and consume more medicine than a small village. There were good times as well with loads of weekend getaways.<br />
<br />
I will be more rooted this year (hopefully!) and continuing with my Beginner 1B Korean Language classes. Another 3 more lessons to complete this level. Yay!<br />
<br />
This year is a first for many things. I finally went on a holiday with just my siblings, something that we have never done. Eventhough it's a short trip, we are immensely pleased with the break.<br />

I wasn't sure what ISO to set on my SLR so I chose my first roll on the friendly and handy Olympus Mju II. I quite like the outcome. I see blue tint. I like the colour blue because it's so neutral.<br />

I quite like this film now that I've tried 1 roll. Next round will either be on the Canon AE-1 or Yashica Minister III. Currently both cameras are loaded with film but nothing to expose. </div>

He gladly informed me that my Minister is fully serviced and ready to rock and roll. I wanted to leave my chair at work and rushed over to Publika to collect it that instant but it was a super busy week. I had to endure the pain of being away from my rangefinder for at least 5 days.<br />
<br />
After our Saturday Korean language class, Mr Hubs and I rushed to Publika to collect my baby. I have named him Prime since he's a Minister...hehe... #stupidpun #sillypun #lamepun.<br />
<br />
Enough of my silliness and move on to some visual orgasm. Here is my Prime with his newly pimped look.<br />
Bought a lens cover to protect its sensitive selenium cells, Made in China cover. What is not made in China these days anyway ? Hello Kitty camera strap (i'm not a fan but it's the nicest looking one there) for a kawaii look to mellow down its macho-ness. <br />

I will give it a try after this. I was informed that the lens is badly damaged and even after servicing it might not be up to par on what it is capable of. The images might come out to look dreamy. Metal body, Lomo effect. Let's just wait and see, shall we?</div>

And see how good a stress reliever this activity really is.<br />
<br />
This is a relatively new place in Kuchai Lama, KL named Smash House. It started in May of 2013. Less than a year old. Located above de Asian cafe and along Snowflakes' row.<br />

He is a local Raub boy and discovered this place by chance. I looked it up online and like what I see. So I proceed to book for 2 Standard Chalets and asked my parents and brother to join us for the weekend.<br />

This place is super steep and requires some strong leg work for the climb back to the chalets. If you're too lazy to do so, you can always request for a ride from one of the two 4x4 vehicle that is provided by them. Service runs from 8am - 12 am.</div>
