SNEAK PEEK THROUGH RUSSIA & KOREA

Narrator : Nur Syazana Ishak

@ The end of August 2013 I had an opportunity to fly to Russia with My Boss to visit one of our major clients there. It was a 5 days trip. My flight from Malaysia was on Monday (26/08/2013) and scheduled to arrive back to My Homeland on 30/08/2013.
Flight transit @Incheon International Airport thru and fro (No direct flight to Russia). 6 hours to Korea and additional 3 hours from Korea to Russia. Now I know I can't sleep in a flight, bus seat is much more larger and comfortable.
While waiting for our flight back to Malaysia on the next morning, we checked in for a night in Incheon. So it's like 'killing two birds with one stone', I am able to visit Korea and Russia at once.

RUSSIA:
Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk (Russia's Island at the top of Japan's Island)
I'm not visiting the main land of Russia, just one of it's oil and gas island (like Kemaman here in Malaysia)
Weather : It's summer season there which I can still see a bright sun at 9pm but it's not hot at all. Just cool wind blowing with a bright sun.

My Bed at Mira Hotel. Very large room for one person with two televisions.
This is the bed corner.
This is the tea table corner.
Sakhalinsk Russia from my Hotel's room window
No high rise building or whatsoever, nothing similar to KL. Of course this is not Russia main city anyway.
From the flight I can see from above that the layout here all square or rectangular pattern. All the buildings also is a 4 sides polygon building.
One of the lake which I can view from another hotel while having lunch with Halliburton's Guy.
He said this lake will be frozen during winter like an ice rink.
Some green view from the window as well.
People here is very proud with their own language, or they not teaching English in their public school. Which is why their taxi driver, waitress and receptionist can't talk in English same goes to Korea and Japan I assume. So we need to use hand language some time.
Not every menus have English translation
Very thick hot chocolate - weird, request for additional hot milk.

Seafood skewer - One of my dinner : Just ate seafood all the time there.

Airport at Sakhalinsk - Russia is a very old type one. Not like an advance airport as such Incheon International Airport and KLIA. We walked through the airport lane to go into the plane.
Sakhalinsk Airport - One small building only.
KOREA:
Incheon International Airport - Incheon, Korea.
Can't find any K-Pop faces here. Very tiring flight so we didn't see much here in Korea.
Just had a tour nearby our Hotel. Incheon Aiport Hotel too far from Seoul.

We have our Dunkin Donut's time in the evening.
Walked along the Incheon city to find a seafood place to eat .
They have a lot of restaurant there but most of it serve meat grill, pork etc.
Very bright building all over the place. They have the most neon light I ever saw in my life.
Finally we found a restaurant that serve seafood steamboat.
This is our Korean's dinner. Just as the way u can see in "Running Man" but seriously I cannot live here. Their food is sooooo healthy (tasteless). It looks delicious when u watch "Running Man" eating it but not to my taste bud.
This is oyster pancake - urrghhhh...basically pancake is just a fried omelet . "telur dadar letak oyster"

THE END

note: 


Kebahagiaan itu umpama rama-rama yang berterbangan, sekiranya kira rakus mengejarnya, ia akan lari..tetapi seandainya kita dekatinya secara perlahan,ia akan perlahan mendekati kita. Itulah kebahagiaan. Bahagia merupakan salah satu anugerah yang telah dikurniakan oleh Allah kepada manusia yang tahu menilai.Jangan mengharapkan kebahagian itu datang dengan sendiri, tetapi kita yang mencipta kebahagiaan itu. Alangkah indahnya bahagia itu. Bersyukur atas nikmat kebahagiaan yang telah diberikan pada sesiapa yang telah merasai kebahagiaan itu dan peliharalah kebahagiaan itu agar ia sentiasa dibajai dengan iman dan taqwa.

First of Syawal 1434 Hijrah

SelaMat Hari RaYA aIDILFITri Maaf Zahir & Batin Dari Kami Sekeluarga
Hari Raya pada tahun ini kami beraya d Kluang & Kahang sahaja. Walaupn kmpug halaman tidak smpai 1 jam perjalanan, namun kami tetap berasa gembira kerana bilangan kluarga yg sememangnya besar jumlahnya sudh mampu menyediakan keseronokannya yg t'sendiri. Sudah tentu sesi b'salam2an dan b'maaf2an sudh menjadi kewajipan selain sesi b'fotografi...Berikut merupakan adegan2 yg dpat d'lihat pada sambutan hari raya tahun ini.

Perkara pertama yg dilakukan setiap kali pagi raya ialah......B'siap2 untuk menunaikan Solat Hari Raya....
Emak telah b'penat lelah menyediakan juadah raya tatkala kaum keluarga lelaki b'siap2 untuk ke surau...

Sambil menunggu Si Lelaki selesai menunaikan Solat, Si Perempuan d'rumah sudah memulakan adegan kejut mengejut, memaksa mandi dan complete make-up mempersiapkn diri untuk sesi fotografi dn b'maaf2an... Aktiviti yg d'ketuai oleh kaksyu pd setiap tahun nmpknya tiada adegan b'gaduh2 atau menangis d'pagi raya pada tahun ini..SYABAS!!!!

kesibukan dan kecelaruan menunggu sesi b'salam2an di pagi raya
Mari Makan....penat sudah berpuasa sebulan....
Rendang ayam dan daging kesukaaan semua yg d'masak dengan rempah kasih sayang oleh Mak.
Tema warna abah dan emak pada tahun ini ialah pink & kelabu, sementara yg lain2 ade yg mengikuti tema dan ade juga yg tidak. Background family photo telah d'pilih oleh mak menggunakan latar belakang ungu.
Gmbar Kiri: Mak & Abah main acah2 sewaktu sesi b'salaman
Gmbar kanan: Mak memberitahu abah sampul warna yg betul sewaktu pemberian duit raya.
Syafiah yg sentimental sewaktu sesi b'salam2an dan b'maaf2an... Dia mula menagis bila irah ckap, "jganlah menangis".... Sangat x membantu.....
 Koleksi foto sebelum bertolak melawat atok dan nenek d' Kahang:
Fiqa yg "menyerlah" pada tahun ini kerana warna bajunya yg terang berderang
2 orandg...3 orang.....4 orang....5 orang....
Isa yang knonnya gagah.....dan ana yg knonnya ringan..
Isa yang cuba membuktikan kegagahannya lg, irah&fiqa yg cuba membuktikan ke'cute'an muka mereka apabila selfcam. Mail dgn mukanya yg ntah2 apa2 sentiasa.

Selesai sudah aktiviti d'rumah. Kami bertolak ke Kahang pada pukul 11:30 a.m. dengan menaiki Mirage dan   Honda. Sampai di kampung pada jam 12 tgh hari, melawat rumah atok pertama sekali, diikuti oleh rumah Che Minah, Pak Anjang/ Che Mat & Kemudiannya Rumah Kak Kiah & Pak Long Cin Murai.
