Asyik jalan2 je, study ke makan angin?

I selalu dapat komen dari kawan2 yang baca blog ni bertanyakan pasal kekerapan aktiviti jalan2 kami sekeluarga. Ye lah, every week ada je I update entry untuk segment Travel & Living tu kan. Asyik berjalan je, gi Jepun untuk study ke untuk makan angin diorang neh?


Entry hari ni I nak bagitahu lah secrets untuk aktiviti jalan2 kami sekeluarga yang membolehkan I update entry untuk segment Travel & Living tu setiap minggu.

(1) 3 places in 1 day --> 3 entries for Travel & Living

What you don't really know is that we actually went to few places in a day but I update the entry according to the place and not the date. Get what I mean? Contohnya macam entry Mandi bogel di Hyotan Onsen, "Neraka" Dunia di Beppu dan Hop on a Gondola at Beppu Ropeway tu, kitorang gi sana masa cuti new year hari tu (Kat Jepun ni, cuti new year start dari 28 Dec - 4th Jan) dan sebenarnya kitorang gi tempat2 tu pada hari yang sama je, tapi sebab I update dalam 3 entry berbeza..nampak macam kitorang gi hari lain2 la. But if u pay attention on our clothes, u might get the idea yang kitorang memang gi pada hari yang sama je pon hehe.


Kalau u all perasan, I jarang nak tulis tarikh bila I gi tempat2 tu sebabnya I selalu lambat nak update entry untuk jalan2. The fact is kitorang sebenarnya gi kat tempat tu few weeks ago, tapi lepas 2-3minggu baru I update ceritanya kat blog. Tapi kalau I bagitau tarikh I pergi tempat2 tu dah jadi macam entry tu agak lapuk la pulak, dah berzaman baru nak update ngeeeee.


(2) Spent quality time with family

For the past 2 months I always have to attend classes on Saturday. Kalau ikut kebiasaanya, kami akan jalan2 hari Sabtu dan lepak2 berehat kat rumah hari Ahad. Since I ada kelas hari Sabtu, Nazhan have to stay at home with his daddy and it kills me coz in a way both of them have to sacrifice their jalan2 time on Saturday and go jalan2 on Sunday when we should just resting at home on Sunday.


Dah la hari2 biasa Nazhan spent his time at his nursery from 9 a.m - 6 p.m (9 hours) from Monday to Friday. Bila balik rumah, main2 kejap and by 10 p.m he will go to bed. Tugas ambik Nazhan pulak hubby & I gilir2; if hari ni I ambik, esoknya hubby pulak ambik. Kalau hari yang hubby ambik, I balik lambat sikit lah dari lab i.e around 8 p.m gitu and vice versa. Overall, Nazhan only spent about 4-5 hours a day with mommy or daddy.

If kitorang kat Malaysia, rasanya kitorang tak lah rasa bersalah sangat sebab ada family members yang lain kan. At least, once in a month ke, leh balik kampung untuk jumpa nenek & atuk. Tak pun, uncles and aunties Nazhan leh datang jumpa dia dan main2 dengan dia on weekend. Tapi kat sini, the only person that Nazhan have are hubby & I, sebab tu kami sedaya upaya berusaha untuk bawak Nazhan jalan2 dan keluar dari rumah so that dia taklah rasa keseorangan sangat.

(3) Once in a lifetime opportunity

It's not that we have the chance to be in foreign countries selalu kan. In fact I was feeling a little bit menyesal that I didn't update my blogs regularly when I was in Munich and Madrid for my master studies. Banyak dah tempat2 yang I pergi masa kat sana yang I dah lupa apa nama tempat tu. Even nama tempat2 yang I selalu pergi tiap2 hari macam kat city center dan shopping malls pun I dah lupa. Sebab tu I decided to update regularly on the places that we've been visiting here in Japan so that few years after this, I could still recall the nice moments that we've spent at those places.

(4) Sharing is caring

Masa muda belia remaja dulu, I suka baja majalah REMAJA. Kat dalam tu ada segmen untuk orang2 yang jalan2 kat oversea bercerita pasal tempat2 yang diorang gi jalan2. Masa baca tu, I berangan yang one day I pun akan jadi macam diorang, gi jalan2 kat oversea then dapat cerita kat orang lain pasal tu. Dalam kes I ni, bukannya I jadi travel writer kat mana2 magazine pun but at least I get to share my travel experience with readers of my blog, fair enough rite?.


It's a nice feeling when someone come to you/commented on your entry by saying "thank you for posting this, tak dapat pergi sana..dapat tengok gambar pun jadi lah". Tak kisahlah orang tu ikhlas ke tak cakap gitu or just nak ambik hati I or just nak tulis komen kat blog I, tapi perasaan yang I dah sedikit sebanyak berkongsi info dengan orang2 yang baca blog ni buat I rasa gembira gitu. That's why entry untuk jalan2 kat blog ni biasanya memang panjang berjela sebab I seboleh2nya nak masukkan info2 pasal tempat tu *yang I copy paste kat internet* and elaborate the info based on my experience.

I really hope that orang yang baca entry kat segment Travel & Living akan dapat info pasal tempat tu dan at the same time dapat menyelami perasaan berada kat tempat tu jugak. At least I help some of you in saving moneys on buying the travel guide books.

(5) Tahi lalat di kaki

I don't know whether the theory that says "orang ada tahi lalat di tapak kaki kuat berjalan" is verified true or not. But in my case I believe this theory is undoubtedly TRUE. I ada tahi lalat di tapak kaki and ever since I am kids, I love to jalan2.


Masa kecik pun memang asyik berjalan sana sini je dengan my family dan peel ni terbawak2 sampai lah dah ada anak sendiri ni. Nazhan pun macam dah faham peel mommy & daddy ni and he seems to enjoy this activity of jalan2 also. Ada sesetengah baby mungkin tak suka bila jalan2, dan meragam and sometime jatuh sakit tapi Nazhan ni boleh di katakan membesar dalam transport dari baby lagi.


Sejak Umur 17 hari mommy dah bawak round park *sampai kena kacau dengan hantu*, umur 2 bulan lebih dah naik flight gi Tokyo ber2 dengan daddy,umur 4 bulan - 8 bulan naik turun train hari2 dengan mommy nak gi nursery, umur 5 bulan dah naik flight balik Malaysia, umur 10 bulan naik flight gi Hong Kong, umur 1thn 3 bulan naik flight gi Korea, umur 1 thn 6 bulan naik kereta 13jam gi Tokyo, dan banyak lagi lah. Alhamdulillah, jarang2 sangat Nazhan mengamuk masa jalan2 kecuali bila dia tak sihat je, other than that Nazhan memang akan enjoy trip jalan2 dan well behaved sepanjang perjalanan *which most of the time dia tidur je pon sebenarnya eheh*.

Errrr, I guess above all of these reasons that I've stated here..the most associated reason for those regular update in the Travel & Living segment is mainly because the three of us memang ada tahi lalat kat kaki kot!. Ngeeeeee.
