Last Tuesday on 25th March was my birthday. I was happy that I can celebrate it with my family in Malaysia. My mom ask Nadzmi, my younger brother to buy a cake at Secret Recipe. Nadzmi selected a Black Forest cake. I thought a very single cake sell at Secret Recipe is delicious. I was wrong! The Black Forest cake was normal and not special at all. Everyone only took a slice and that was it. No one wanted a second helping. The whole day, Nadzmi was blamed for choosing the wrong cake.
I also got some birthday wishes. 5 of it was exactly on my birthday while 4 of it come from people who thought my birthday was on 26th and other was a belated wishes. I didn't received a lot of wishes and I was happy with that. Why? Because for me birthday is important day and I don't some random acquitances and strangers talk to only once a year wishing just "HB". That is the main reason why I hide my birthday in Facebook. I just dislike the idea someone wishing me just because he/she got a reminder from Facebook's. To me, someone wishing my birthday without any kind of weird reminder is something special. I got a feeling that they know me. I'm not some kind of people that just pass by in their life.
The whole things applied to me too. I didn't do what I dislike to everyone else. Birthday wishes is special for me and as I prefer I give it to some people only. The one that are important for me.
Thanks for all your wishes! I pray that all your wishes to me will happen to you too. Amiinn.
After attending a wedding reception of my father's friend, my parent took me to see our new home in Aman Putri and another home which is still in construction in Kampung Melayu Subang. My mom recently have the urge to buy more houses as she said that it will be ours later. She said to us : "Its the only safest thing I can provide for you all in the future."
The house in Aman Putri is already completed. it is located at the first phase of the housing lot in Aman Putri. It is a 2-storey house with 4 bedroom and 3 bathroom. Although most houses here is vacant, they are already a few occupied houses. It certainly reminded me the feeling I get when we first move to Section 7, Kota Damansara when I was little. My family made a few improvement to the house by adding bars on sliding door and windows. All fans and lamps were also added.
Our house at Aman Putri is currently available for rent. My mom once get a call asking inquiry about the rent. Since most house here are rent at price RM1200-1300, my mom put a price of RM1000 per month. To her surprise, the person replied "Go die you blood-sucking leech!".I was furious when I heard the story. That person should expect that kind of price when he/she have the courage to think about renting at such place. Considering every improvement my family made to the house, RM1000 is quite cheap.
Next we went to the construction site of other house. The house my mom plan on making in this site really spark my interest. It reminds me of housing area in Germany. Although the house is a 2-storey house, each level is design for one family. Which means, when this house complete, It will be a like a small apartment where one family live downstairs while the other live upstairs. Each storey have 4 bedroom and 3 bathroom.
First of all let use send our prayer for everyone on-board MH370 which went missing right now. #PrayforMH370
(My review on Munich Airport, Emirates Economy Class, and Dubai Airport)
My decision to go home was really sudden. After searching for ticket for one hour, I was set on flying to Malaysia with Emirates. On 10 March, I took my Emirates economy flight from Munich Airport.
In Munich Airport, I need to pass through gate C19. Let me warn you something. No appetizing food is sold beyond the Gate C. A small cup of Cappuccino cost €4! Since most flight passing this Gate are from Arabian airlines, a no-pork and non-alcoholic sign is clearly stated at every item sold beyond this gate. But that doesn't mean the meat are Halal. I suggest you eat to your heart content before passing through any gate.
I was excited to fly with Emirates. I always hear about them being the best and classy event for the economy class. From my experience I gave 3.5 out of 5 Stars. The reason the lost 1.5 Stars is because they only served food during my 5 hours (MUC-DXB) and 7 hours (DXB-KUL) flight once. The food was delicious though. When I flew with Egyptair last year, we were given full-course meal 2 times for our long haul flight. Guess Emirates is quite stingy with their food. Hehehe.
The ICE (Information, Communication, Entertainment) System is the best. A USB port and a universal socket is also available for those who wish to use their laptop. The Every new movie is included in it. Being a Japanese drama and movie fans, I search for that part first. It was wonderful. I can watch with English subtitles for movie "Ataru : First Love and Last Kill" and "Anna to Yuki no Joou" (Frozen Japanese dub) during my flight. The best part is the Japanese version of movie Frozen wasn't release until 14 March! I was satisfying to know that three movie from Malaysia is included in the ICE.
The in-flight amenities is satisfying too. The pillow is soft and comfortable. The blanket is by far the best I have try. It is quite thick and warm. I wish I could grab that blanket! Their "Oshibori" or hot towel service is good if you want to stay refresh in flight. But I wish they gave it a bit later. I also like the fact they include a small air conditioner. Because of this I wasn't dehydrated as I usually on a flight.
I transfer airport was Dubai Airport. I expect to see people with long black garment and niqab in here. I guess that observation only valid when I step outside the airport. Although it was a Muslim country, no food really open my appetite. I was hoping I'll be able to eat everything since it will be halal. I guess the food just doesn't suit me. The toilet and the mosque does make me happy! I can finally have the kind of cleaning I desire after every trip to toilet. Western-styled toilet is for me a bit unhygienic since the only option I have is tissue. Most of the worker in gate B isn't with Arabian look but south-east Asian look. Most of their face look like people from Indonesia and Vietnam to me. Since this airport is huge, I suggest you to find out which gate wild your next flight be. If the gate is at another building, you might need to take a train to reach it.
Overall, I was pleased with my journey as nothing unpleasing happened. Alhamdulillah.
