Peace be upon you and a very good evening, everyone! First of all, I would like to apologize as I took time to write this post as I have been busy with internship and stuffs. Now, I took time to start writing back because I think I need to express my thoughts more often to keep away all the unwanted thoughts. Alright! Let's get back to the story!
My friends and I were planning to go travel abroad on last semester. At first, we wanted to go to Seoul, Korea as we voted to go there. The choices were Hong Kong, Japan, Korea and also Indonesia. Then, we decided to go to Seoul, Korea. Then, we divided our tasks to each of the members. One would look on the accommodation, itinerary, tickets etc. As I was chosen to take part in itinerary, I started to draft the itinerary according to the places that the friends wanted to go. It's one of my dreams to go to Seoul, too! So, I was so excited while drafting the itinerary. I did not have enough sleep because of the excitement! But then, it big mistake happened as we were deceived by someone irresponsible. I found an agent that offered a reasonable package to Korea. Then, we went to file a police report on our case. And we loss almost a thousand. Well, after that we have decided not to go by agent anymore. From the mistake, we have learned to take care of everything by ourselves. And again, I decided to take responsible on accommodation, tickets and everything. Of course! It was decided after we discussed everything.
We bought the tickets a month before the departure date. We determined to go to abroad no matter what! Hahaha. But, we changed the path from Korea to Japan. So, without any information about Japan and again late nights stay up happened because I needed to draft the itinerary and also accommodation. Well, at least I know some Korean and more information about it since I am a big fan of Korea stuffs hahaha. But, it did not stop me from being lazy instead try to learn about Japan within 20 days. And also, we needed to learn about the transportation. It was hard and difficult but thanks to my supportive travel mate for being there to help me. Well, we needed to plan within 20 days because we had a final examination on December. Can you imagine how we were struggling to learn everything in limited time? But, we managed to do it. Travel travel jugak, tapi belajar tak lupa. Alhamdulillah 😁 3 days before departure, we always double check on everything to make sure everything went well. So, the day came - 21st of January 2017 at 2250 we departed from Kota Bharu and arrived KLIA2 around 2355. We stayed a night, thanks to my friend as she booked a hotel for us! I could not really sleep because I was so excited to go to Japan! We went to sleep around 0230 and woke up really early too. Hahaha. Well, it was my first time to go abroad with just my friends. Thanks Mom and Dad for giving the permissions to go there with my lovelies friends!

The next day - 22nd of January 2017, we went to KLIA2 at 1000 as we needed to check the baggage in and also had breakfast. The departure time was 1440, so we had time to pray first before went on the plane. Thank God, it went so smooth even at the immigration. I just could not believe it that it went so smooth. I was so grateful at that time as I could not believe it myself as I went on the plane going to Japan. It took about 6 hours to Japan from Malaysia. And and and, I was so bored in the plane. There was nothing to do at all. I was just sleeping, reading and eating hahaha. Luckily, my seat next to window and I could see the clouds and sunset! It was sooooooooo beautiful! I was so in love 😍 Don't worry, you will enjoy the pictures later! I will share as much as I can. As the captain announced we were going to landing, I was excited again! And and and, I still could not believe that I went to Japan. Sangat terharu on everything and to my family thank you soooooooooo much for helping me to make my dream came true! 😢 We arrived at the airport around 2200, Japan time so it was 2100 in Malaysia. The first thing to do as we landed was telling our family that we have arrived safely. Then, prepared winter coat as it was winter when we went there. Also, went to bathroom hahaha. Make sure to fill out the immigration paper before went to the immigration security. And again, thank God it went very smooth. You know what? The airport was so quiet and soooooo cleaaaannnn! I really really really like it! The queue was so long but it was so fast! It was so effective! I like it! Hahaha.

After the immigration security we went to buy SUICA card, it's a transportation card. We could use it during our stay there. Then, we went to bus stop and we got a free shuttle bus provided by the hotel we were staying. As we reached there, the bus came. And again, we were so lucky and felt so thankful! 😊 Oh, yes! It was so cold! I could feel the wind blew on my face hahaha. I went to get inside the bus quickly. Hahaha. After 30 minutes, we arrived at the hotel. My hands were so cold as I tried to take picture hahaha. Then, my friends quickly asked me to get inside the hotel and we went to our room. Nooooooo, we did not sleep right away. We explored the room, the bathroom and everything hahaha. Excited woi! Jakun pon ada sedangkan hotel biasa aje. Biasalah kan? Hahaha. Then, one by one went to have shower and we had supper before went to sleep. We went to sleep pretty late, too. Oh, yes yes! The WiFi was so five stars! No buffer at all! I love Japan! The hotel where we were staying provide everything and I thought we just needed to bring clothes. We did not expect that, though. Thank you again to my friend for booking the hotel at the last minute. Hahaha. I will share the first day next time. Wait for it! For now, do enjoy a few pictures. Thank you for reading. Till next time! 💖
