A Decade in My Life: Places I Visited & Top 5 Places I Plan To Revisit

Alhamdulillah for the past decade. A wonderful ten years journey. To make a specific calculation, ten years ago I was a young 14 years-old girl, dreaming to be a scientist; by the end of 2019, I was a 24 years old girl – 6 months after graduating medical school. Alhamdulillah for everything.

Also for the past decade, with the opportunity I had, I was able to travel and visit many places, tidak sebanyak rakan yang lain, but it was enough that I was given opportunity. This wasn’t possible if it wasn’t for the fact that I studied in Jordan, and getting my monthly allowance from my government. Even it was half scholarship, it still helped a lot.

Auschwitz – place where humanity was once ripped; at hands of humans

I have friends who went there before me, and they said the almost exact same thing:

“It will be an emotional trip”

KRAKOW, POLAND

Months before planning this trip, it supposed to be a trip to Austria, to be specific Hallstatt, and Vienna, also Budapest. It was my initial planning actually. Then a month before, I said to my travel mate I am not joining her because I miscalculated my savings therefore a little bit under the budget. Basically, the plans were  buried and she had to find other person to plan the trip. But news came out from everyone that Ryanair had cheap flight to Krakow, Poland. Literally 99 dinar for return ticket!!!!! and that was the craziest deal I ever had in five years.

Off to Istanbul

 

How do we start the day?

Not enough sleep. 

And it’s the holy month Ramadhan. The amount of tiredness, hunger and thirst are incomparable to other months. The threshold was reduced to a point so below that seeing a cat licking a puddle of dirty water on the streets, in broad daylight was so tempting. But I had my composure and went through the days which had been so difficult for me.

Day 3:KL-Klang-Penang

6 August 2017

It’s the third day and the last day. As told before in my previous post, we will be leaving for Tunku Abdul Rahman street today. We overslept last night and checked out at 11.00 am. Have anyone ever tell you guys about going in with less and out with more? Exactly. We came with three bags and left with more than five bags. Where the hell did all of them coming from, I have no idea. Lol, yes some are from my shopping and some are the result of poorly packed bags.

Day 2: Steps on Malls

5 August 2017

It’s the second day. So we continue on our planned journey. Today, I have a wedding to attend at Gombak. I am very weak with geography and maps so I don’t know how much time does it take to arrive at Gombak. So we left as early as 10.30 am, knowing that we’ll make it on time since the event starts as early as 11.00 am.

Day 1: Klang-KL

It was a hectic day, phew!

I just returned from Jordan yesterday at 3.15pm local time. I had my domestic flight to Penang International Airport exactly one hour and a half after my main flight. I miscalculated my journey. I thought there would be ample time for me to wait for the baggage, ran and got to KLIA2, then checked in baggage for my Air Asia flight to Penang. Hell no. There was no time at all. So my only available and logic choice was to left my 23kg baggage with my friend here at Selangor and I myself ran to KLIA2 because my boarding time was at 4.15pm and I was still waiting my inter terminal train at 4.10pm. How crazy was that?
