Duo Travel | Day 1 | Seoul, Korea.

If there's anything I thought I would never be able to do AT MY AGE now it would be travelling. I mean, my parents have always been generous for sponsoring every belajar sambil berjalan trip I've had in my life. Proof- I went to Singapore when I was 17 under a school's trip and Indonesia in my first year of degree for a Street-law programmed. I blogged about my Singapore trip but didn't for Indonesia (regrets!) I'm not repeating silly mistakes, so here's one for y'all.

MY VACATION TO SEOUL, KOREA

Oh lord. Can you believe it? After convincing my parents that I will be tots fine travelling with a friend, they finally let me. Travel. on. my. own!!! Alhamdulillah, the whole process went really smooth for Aisyah and I even though we planned this trip in less than a month (as soon as finals over). We looked out for dates, and then a travel agent because parents just wouldn't let their girls go to a foreign countries alone. (danger alerts!) We were lucky enough because we found one travel agent with an affordable price.  It was an all in package so they bought us the flight tickets and entrance fees. The travel agent also arranged our accommodation and transportation which makes our lives super easy.

Uhm, the first thing that y'all should know is that we went there on February and it was winter season. Both Aisyah and I have never traveled in winter season so we really be preparing ourselves for the weather there. I was honestly, very scared I would get sick, but I didn't which was amazing! Alhamdulillah. Anyways, there are actually a lot of money spent because I didn't have a proper winter outfit. I also don't have knitted wear so yeah- we go buy them. Luckily, my mom has some of the stuffs needed so I got to save some $$.

This was me when arrived at KLIA. Was very much in awe with the fact that we are *doing* it.

After we arrived at Incheon Airport, we immediately took out our winter wear, cleaned and changed ourselves. Almost 7 hours in the flight,... Buruk wei. haha. Then, we met our travel agent and we took an airport bus to go to our home-stay called the Bong House. We were given a few hours of rest before our sight-seeing starts. The first place we went to was Namsangol Hanok Village,

It basically a place consists of five hanok (traditional Korean houses) from old times.

After taking loads of pictures with the Korean houses there, we went to Namsan Tower.

Y'all familiar with this place? It's a must to go here but somehow as a single person, I don't find all these locks interesting. Maybe because I can't lock my name with a person name as a symbol of love(?) So instead of locking names, we took more pictures of ourselves.

The view was magnificent! Mashallah.

One with Namsan Tower.

Later at night, we went to Myeondong and tasted some of the street foods there. 

We also bought a lot of heat packs from their Daiso because it was so so so cold. The Temperature hits -14 and for summer girls, we were freezing cold!! We also wandered around the area we stayed in. Bought their famous milk and visited their groceries shop for fun.

Here are raw pictures of me wandering in a foreign country doing god knows what.

Peace out. 

I'll continue with day 2 soon. 

Lots of Love, Nurzafira Sabrina

Thoughts on RMO

Alright I'm losing it y'all.

For your information, today's *lost count the number of days already* of Restriction Movement Order (hereinafter would be referred to as RMO).

What is RMO?

You can google it for a more accurate answer. I would describe it as an impartial lock down which all Malaysians (and some other countries) had to go through due to Covid-19 outbreak which happened in late 2019.

What is Covid-19?

It is basically a newly found deadly virus started in Wuhan.

Many was infected by this virus and it has caused a number of dead cases. Currently we have 2,320 cases going on. Hence, our "new" government decided to give out this order whereby everyone is not allowed to go out of their houses, unless of course if they want to buy basic needs (i.e. foods and groceries ONLY). In addition to it, only one person can go out and buy stuff per family. Imagine what life has been like in 2020?

I know right...

Surprising isn't it? In the beginning of the year everyone's talking about flying vehicles and now, what we've gotten is a deadly virus that could attack anyone at any moment. But there are still irresponsible people *coughs, Mont Kiara joggers, coughs* who go out for jogging. Sighs. Even elites people can be so ignorant sometimes eh?

Anyways, how are you guys coping with this situation honestly? I'm losing it. It has been two weeks since I last leave my house. I have been doing everything- reading, working out, binge-watching movies/series on Netflix, videos editing, cleaning and organizing the house... you name it! I even installed tiktok, guys, I mean uh ._.V

What's more frustrating is the idea of how my final year would be like? We will be having e-learning for all subjects and mind you, some of the subjects we are taking are practical wise. So it's going to make the learning process difficult. We have this one subject called Advocacy and I am really sad, my group acting as the plaintiff didn't get to cross examine defendant's witness. I mean, we been waiting for the moment since last semester *cause that's when you roast them hehe*.  Also I don't think I work best in e-learning classes? I get distracted a lot especially when I'm home. Now that I think of it again, I work really productively when I'm college. At home,.... I have no words to describe how "lazy" and "inefficient" I am as a student.

But oh well. With things going on, I guess I just have to cope with it. This is also to help ease the university with my graduating process so- gotta learn how to adapt to it.

On the bright sides, this whole RMO and coronavirus going on, I've got so much times to myself. I mean, you have no idea, how free I am right now. I have all 24 hours to myself and if I can't get THINGS done then I should really question my existence in this world. Therefore, I have decided to update my blog frequently from now on. Also share with you guys the updates of my life earlier this year (surprise, surprise).

People barely read these days, but this blog has been really really helpful in keeping my memories for myself. I am so grateful I keep this blog because sometimes I just come here to see the things I have done in the past and be glad I did what I did. So this blog shouldn't be abandon for too long. But I also want this place to fill with positive vibes, motivation and inspiration. I hope I can do that instead of complaining endlessly about life (even though it's good to be reminded of the struggles you have to go through in order to be where you are in your life at the moment).

Lots of Love,
