TOKYO - KYOTO - OSAKA - KOBE

I went for a one week tour to Japan (Again!)
But this time around it's not a vacation but assignment sponsored by OKI. 
It was a wonderful trip, such an unforgettable experience.

Nothing to shout about Tokyo simply because I've been there before.

But the southern part of Japan however, makes me happy a million times.

From Tokyo I had the chance to experience the bullet train! Arrived in Kyoto, and had a chance to visit some castles and temples.

From Kyoto, ride on a bus-- an hour journey to Osaka. Stayed at Sheraton Miyako. It's winter and Osaka is crazy freezing cold, -3c to 2c ... Ughhh 

The highlight of the trip--- definitely the Kobe Sanda Premium Outlet. It has the size of Beceister Village with more than 100 stores including Gucci, Prada, Ferragamo, YSL, Valentino, Jimmy Choo, Longchamp, Bally and a lot more!... The premium outlet is in fact the biggest in Asia. From my experience it is definitely bigger than Kildare in Ireland & La Vallee in France.

So ya, here are some of the memories captured :)














My daily consumption throughout the trip (if you are planning for a holiday, I would advise to bring some food from home because served food is pricey in Japan, one meal will cost you 3000- 6000 yen = RM70- RM300)










...and last but not least, the shopping heaven!




The end :)

SUSSEX OR SURREY ?

I am gathering information. 
Love both courses at both institutions. Course directors are extremely helpful. 

University of Sussex
VS
Royal Holloway, University of London

So it comes down to the decision-making ultimate factor  --- demographics.

1) Which one is a better city?
2) Safety?
3) Halal food/groceries?
4) The locals?
5) Leisure? Activities?
6) Malaysians community?

Blog readers, if you are studying or studied at any of the two, share with me your views.

If you don't but you have friends studying there, tell me about it.

If you live/lived anywhere in the UK and have been to any of the to cities, I am looking forward to hear from you too.

Please help me. 
I am in dilemma.

DEWAN ORKID, SHAH ALAM

Hi ladies!
Yesterday i got to emcee a beautiful wedding ceremony... Client is Aishah-Azizi.

I reached the building at 7pm.
From the ground floor, i gotta go up to the 4th floor.

guess what..
Sebaik sahaja sampai tingkat 4, saya terkejut tgk deco bermula daripada depan lif membawa saya sehingga ke entrance!

Entrance dihiasi orchids which i believe my loyal blog readers know that I am an orchid lover!

Masuk sahaja dewan...MasyaAllah
Cantik sungguh deco!
Dengan lighting pink purple (which i love)
100% drape.. Seluruh dinding dewan!
Beautifully decorated aisle and gorgeous pelamin!

The whole deco looked so luxurious and Mahligai Creative crossed my mind.
Dalam hati "pandai bride ni, pilih normal hall tapi all out untuk deco!"

But i was totally wrong!
I texted the bride and got to know that the package costs her only 10k! Yes, the whole package!
Even the bride herself was surprised with the top notch deco services!

I told her.. For 10k, last time with Nas i only got the pelamin. Ye, plus lighting and sakura and draping only behind the pelamin, plus florist ..the cost was 20k. *pengsan*

but Aishah got the entire wedding deco at only 10k... Omg! Mmg sangat sangat cantik! Aishah mmg ada taste dan pandai pilih... 

The photos here don't do justice, trust me it's 100x prettier in real life! 100% fresh flowers!







So kawan2 jadilah pengantin seperti Aishah yang bijak memilih. Daripada ikut perasaan macam my mom and i sbb nak well-known designer. Skrg baru nak menyesal. Pfftt

Btw,
Congratulations Aishah & Azizi
Such a beautiful wedding reception!

DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF MEDIA (JOURNALISTS)

by: Nurulhuda Abd Aziz
Eksekutif Wartawan Penyiaran TV3

Assalamualaikum,
Saya dan rakan-rakan biasa hadapi situasi aneh oleh golongan yang memandang seorang terhadap tugasan sebagai wartawan.

Tahukah anda, kala ini wartawan bukan lagi golongan yang berkelulusan SPM, sebaliknya mempunyai sekurang-kurangnya Ijazah Sarjana Muda? 

Tahukah anda wartawan boleh pengaruhi pentadbiran dan bentuk agenda. We make people believe what we want them to believe.

Tahukah anda, wartawan boleh membantu anda dalam masalah setempat mahupun masalah di peringkat nasional?

Tahulah anda, we don't need official letter most the time, with just a click, a single phone call, insyaAllah we will get information we want from any chairman, managing director, ceo, and even several ministers :)

Sepanjang bertugas sebagai wartawan i pride myself for being able to help people from all walks of life.

1) 90 sijil kelahiran untuk anak-anak jalanan:
Syukur. Hanya hubungi KP Jabatan pendaftaran dan pejabat menteri, masalah yang membelenggu komuniti itu selama 20tahun, selesai dalam tempoh 2 minggu :)

2) Pembatalan penutupan Pasar TTDI:
Penjaja ditindas golongan mewah yang baru bertapak di situ. Pada hari sama saya berjumpa penjaja, saya sms datuk bandar KL utk dapatkan penyelesaian. Syukur, pasar itu dapat terus beroperasi. Don't underestimate us, even tons of letters sent by residents n penjaja tak menjamun penyelesaian. sms from a journalist convinced dbkl.

3) Ibu 3 anak merempat di ibu kota:
Saya ketahui isu ini apabila ke PPR yang terletak di Bangsar, ibu bekerja di A&W PJ, dan terpaksa tinggalkan tiga orang anak tidur di surau selepas dihalau keluar oleh suami. Saya hubungi Menteri Wanita ketika itu, dalam tempoh 5 hari permohonan keluarga itu untuk mendapatkan rumah PPR diluluskan. Sedangkan 3 bulan memohon di pejabat berkaitan, tidak diendahkan.

4) Bekalan air di Jinjang Utara
Rumah panjang dihuni golongan berpendapatan rendah, tiada air selama 3 bulan. Saya pergi menjengah, dan menyiarkan laporan pada 26hb... 27hb saliran di situ sudah dibaiki dewan bandaraya, sedangkan sebelum ini, tiada tindakan.

5) ...dan lain2 masalah--mintak nak apply tekun, anak nak masuk mrsm, nak skim rumah pr1ma... kalau ada urgency wartawan sedia membantu untuk ketengahkan isu.

Jadi,
Dalam semua penyelesaian itu saya tidak dapat apa-apa kecuali kepuasan sebab dapt bantu orang yang memerlukan. Bukannya saya dpt sijil lahir extra,bukannya saya dpt tapak pasar malam, and tak dapat pun rumah sebiji dua. Semuanya kerana tugas, dan rasa tanggungjawab NAK TOLONG ORANG.

Ingat,
Jangan pandang rendah tugas wartawan. You might need us one day
Wartawan adalah mata dan telinga masyarakat. Solution is just a phone call away
