Updates and Not Important Announcement

Hello!!! Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri to all Muslims and Happy Holidays to the non-muslim.

Here is to my updates. My second semester started last Friday. The classes have been long and intense. Everything speeds up as our semester has shortened from 3 months to 2 months, including the Raya holiday. After Raya, my schedule would be even like a madman, mostly comprising of only classes, tests, study and revision, and maybe a little exercise (hoping not to gain anymore weight as I have gained about 4 kg during my first semester T.T) and playing with phone? Not more than that. Anymore than that would mean that I'm sacrificing my sleep to be doing it. That being said, I guess my outdoor activity is minimal to zero (I'm pretty sure that there is time for this, it is just that I'm very bad, VERY BAD, at balancing study and life). If I pass these 2 subjects, I suppose my life would be easier later. Depend on circumstances, there might be a huge change to my decision but don't anticipate it too much as this surprise might only have 1% chance of happening (I'm sure there will be many critics and disappointment from my family and those around me when the time comes. Only when the time comes... *sigh*).

If only sleeping 10 hours a week can be a habit. Even sleeping 8 hours a day, I'm already falling asleep in class...

With all these which are going to happen, they lead to an announcement (though it is not much of importance, but to me, maybe yes?). I might not be updating my journey in Korea as I want to reminisce the wonderful time when I have more time to write about it (There's only a few more days left to post, I don't want to end it so fast >.<). Just for that, I don't want to do it sloppily as it was the only time when I think the time belongs to me, and no other. Meaning, I'm going to be a shut up more than I really am now (just until this semester is over, maybe?).

That doesn't mean I'm going to totally shut down my activity here. If there is anything that pops up, I will still be updating here (including my final result from my first semester, hope I pass, it is too much of a bother to take the exam again *pray hard*). Of course, I will still read all your messages. If you have any queries, feel free to contact me by posting a comment below or write to me via the blogger contact form on your right. I usually reply within 24 hours. 😉

So, I guess that's all about my updates and announcement. Before it ends, here's a photo of a beautiful flower that I took the other day.



Till then!

Internship Experience in Ryokan (旅館 - Japanese-styled Hotel)

Image
'いらっしゃいませ' (Irasshaimase!)、'ありがとうございます' (Arigatou gozaimasu!) Very common terms but the most polite terms. These 2 terms accompanied me during my whole internship period.  If you do not know, I internship-ed in Japan for 2 months in the service industry. To know how I came across this internship opportunity, click here .  The ryokans, aka Japanese-styled hotel, that I worked in were Takimotokan Yukinosato (滝元館遊季の里) and Umi no Hana (海の花). They are luxury ryokans strategically located closed to tourist attractions, which provide great hospitality and ultimate relaxation to the guests. Both are ryokans with private and public onsen.  Since the main topic today is my internship experience, I'm not going deep into information of both the ryokans today. I will be writing more information on both the ryokans and the surrounding attractions in another post, or if you can't wait for it, please visit their website! 1. Appearance The first thing I

Internship Experience in Ryoutei (料亭)

Image
Ryoutei is a luxurious traditional Japanese restaurant, which served kaiseki style meals for business and formal meetings (source from Wikipedia). Everyone that goes to a Ryoutei has a purpose. It is not just a simple filling the stomach meal. It can be a business meeting, a celebration, a family meeting, a book sharing session, a reunion, a party or any occasion you can think of, which is why the customers going there are usually dressed formally. Having said that, anyone are welcomed to visit a ryoutei to enjoy the exquisite, delicate meal prepared by a qualified chef and served by the beautiful omotenashi-san (something like waitress?). However, do remember to make a reservation in advance as meals are prepared freshly according to the number of customers. The ryoutei I worked in is called Shikiryotei Sukeroku (粋料亭　助六) currently managed by Okami - Chikage Nakamura and her husband, Hideyuki Nakamura, who is also the head chef of Sukeroku. During my whole internship experie

4D3N in Hong Kong (part 2)

Image
Hi! Happy Chinese New Year!! Continuing from the previous post . DAY 2 We woke up early for breakfast at the Hong Kong-ians' favourite DIM SUM! We went to a dim sum restaurant near our hotel and ordered about 12 items as my sister and I were starving (planned to stuff as much as we could as we knew that the food in Disneyland would cost twice as much as the usual food price). We thought that 12 items were quite the normal amount until the waitress turned around and confirmed with us the amount of food that we ordered. Were 12 items too much for 4 people?  These are some of the items that we ordered. If you are not sure what to order, try order the items that are marked with a star. Those are the recommended items.  Right after the sumptuous breakfast, we immediately headed off to the must-go destination - Hong Kong Disneyland. Going to Disneyland by MTR is not a mission impossible. In fact, MTR in Hong Kong has the easiest route from all the places that I hav
