Spectacular view at Pierre Loti, Istanbul..

Assalamualaikum

Last month i received a message from my old friend that i had not seen in almost 3-4 years who happens to be in Istanbul for a month. So yesterday, I invited her and family for a light breakfast and catching up session at Pierre Loti.

Pierre Loti is famous for its amazing and spectacular view over the Golden Horn. This place must include in your to-do-list if you were to be in Istanbul. As what i posted in my previous post about Eyup, Pierre Loti also located in Eyup but its on the hill top of Eyup and its not exactly on the typical tourist path. So those who are on guided tour its for sure that you wont get around this area.

You have two options getting up to the Pierre Loti , first by Cable Car from Eyup Mosque or you can drive up straight up the hill (ala.. macam genting highland la.. ). Like us, we asked the taxi driver to drive up straight sebab ada baby kecik omey omey si Mikhail yang serius!

Some photos of me,Ija and Mikhail yang serius.. haha

It was wonderful catching up with Ija.. still the same sweet, cute and humble Ija that i have known more than 10years. InsyaAllah jumpa lagi before u go back ok! *hugs*

Spring in Istanbul..

Assalamualaikum

I smell flowers again. Sadly we missed out the tulip festival that was held annually on the first 2 weeks of April coz we were in Malaysia. Takpela, theres always next time kan, its okey we can stll enjoy the stunning display of tulips at some public parks near our house. Hehe.

The stunning beauty of spring is truly at its best in Emirgan Park, Istanbul. it comes with thousands of colorful tulips for u to admire. Those who visit Istanbul during springtime please dont miss out the tulip festival ok?

So today, i went off from office slightly early than usual to help mom to choose some furniture for our new home (Oh well, im her all time fav deco consultant) So many options, so many decisions to make. Yeah dad just bought a new house coz he decided to live in Istanbul for good. So no more rent coz renting in Istanbul is quite expensive.. baik beli rumah katanya... And hey the next thing i cant wait is to decorate the house and my room and i'll be fully decorate the house from scratch. Will share soon!

Back to today's story, its more like a family bonding time, we just looked around our new house area, bought some stuffs, had our lunch, went to the park and we went home happily. Some photos taken using Gopro.. Enjoy!

The best day for Bekam..

Assalamualaikum

I just got to know today is one of the best day to do Bekam as what Prophet Muhammad said: "Whoever performs hijamah (bekam/cupping) on the 17th, 19th or 21st day then it is a cure for every disease"

The best time to do cupping is during empty stomach. "Cupping on an empty stomach is best, in it is a cure and a blessing. it improves the intellect and the memory". So everybody, cup yourself with the blessing of Allah specifically on Thursday

I was told by my colleague that today is one of the best day to do and me, my brother and him went to Fatih and perform our first bekam (during working hour pls.. haha) . Sorry I was not allowed to take picture inside the place. Alhamdulillah i felt so much relax and clean. After the treatment, we were told not to eat any forms of meat or any animal source food... huu laparrnyaa..

We went back to the office and had a healthy walnut salad for our lunch at our Caprice Restaurant. Alhamdulillah it was a blessed Thursday indeed.

A happy face after cupping and healthy lunch ( selfie is a must!)

Sushi in Istanbul..

Assalamualaikum

Well im kinda bored with turkish food, i cant have kebab, kofte, durum, everyday right.. please stop feed me with turkish fooood.. As a malaysian and living in Turkey, i think you would agree with me, at some point your tekak will definitely kembang with red meat and chicken..

So looking for something different? lets get an express meal! For sushi lovers, u will love the place..
Sushi express is located at Trump Towers Mall, Macidiyekoy Istanbul..

For a sushi restaurant i think they are a bit pricey. Well i dont know coz i have never spent more than 5TL for my lunch (usually its free coz we eat at our Caprice Restaurant n usually spend 5TL for my desert) and that meal cost me nearly 60TL.. oklah, orang kata jangan berkira bab makan.. makan je selagi boleh makan.. ye dak? hehe. Oklah guys.. thats all for today. Stay tuned.

Cuti2 Malaysia..

Assalamualaikum

Hello! its thursday.. and im back to work.. safely arrived in Istanbul on Monday morning and still coping with my jet lag and overslept sampai sembab muka tak ingat! Mom and lil brother Shaamil just arrived this morning and yeay! we are back together as one big family!

That short 2 weeks in Malaysia was extremely tired weeks for me as i need to entertain and be a tour guide for 2 turkish families. It was fun too coz i could visit some places in KL which i haven't been before.. haa percaya tak? Oh yes, i come to realized that there are so many places in Malaysia or specifically in KL that i have never visited.. haha.. oklah, sambil menyelam minum air..

Apart from KL, we also went to Singapore for a short one day tour and back to KL on the same day. Oh well, it was tiring but we had so much fun! i didnt get the chance to take photos at all places that we visited coz i was busy taking their picutres. tourist diutamakan ok.. hehe

Some photos to share during their visit..

And the best moment when in Malaysia is when i finally got to see my little Ulya.. tho i was busy layan my guest and Mr. F smpai merajuk sebab jarang jumpa dia.. but i promised my mself i need to find a time to meet my bestfriend and her little princess.

Thank you so much my dearest Whyda for came all the way from Perak to meet us! Love u and Ulya so so much!Hope u like the lil gift for Ulya from us. Heart u beb!!

The best moment.. !

Us at Paddington Pancake House, The Curve

My little Ulya

Mistakes, Sorry and Regret..

Assalamualaikum

Looking back, its easy to say when its done.its easy to say you are sorry and regret for what had happened. You are too easy with words and make people believe in you..all i can say to you is you are selfish self-centered loser. Its the truth. Swallow it.

Here are some advice to u..

I know everybody make mistakes. Human make mistakes and we learn our lesson from our mistakes. But the excuse that "we are only human" and we can make mistakes (continuously) is bullshit. The word 'regret' makes u look weak and small. We are powerful enough to prvent almost all accidents n incidents but again with your easy words and promises, u being such a selfish assholes that only to be excused by saying sorry and regret.

u think u are so powerful with ur money and good-looking-charming face that Allah grant u..
but ACTUALLY to the world, u are weak for contantly breaking ur word and then saying sorry. the world hates u because we doesnt treat people who r not responsible enough to take care of their shit. u r actually accomplish less and blame people around u (family n wife especially) why ur life sucks.

i thought u have changed after all the bad stories n gossips about u. But i was wrong. u are the same old sweet talker man that always break his promises. well, im not perfect either, but one thing for sure i was being completely honest n faithful and hoping something miracle to happen. but neehhhhhh~ after all what we have been tru u can only say sorry and regret?

Now im becoming aware of the affect of my apologies and excuses. plus im not the type that easy with words. ive come to an understanding that we are literally as powerful and capable as we say we are. Anything we say, we can make it happen. nak seribu daya taknak seribu dalih. Takut? then you are such a coward yang berlagak macho. My mom cakap kalau tak berani ke depan, potong tut gantung kat dahi pls..

Lastly, dont let urself be small and irresponsible. All the best in your life.

P/s : u dont have to seek forgiveness from me, u have done nothing wrong. All u need to do is seek forgiveness from Allah. i have always forgive u but i cant help myself to hate u.

to all my readers, im sorry if i sound a bit harsh in this entry.. somehow i need to let it ouuutt!
