Long weekend trip

Hi !

So something just happened, I accidentally splashed water on my phone and right now it's in a bucket full of rice. It's nothing major, just that the speaker sounded a lil bit weird so I try leaving it in the bucket of rice for a while. Let's see what's gonna happen later. And I've a couple of hours before my class, so I thought of blogging about my last trip to The Netherlands (mostly just north- and south Holland) :D

We have Thursday - Sunday off so it was a long weekend. Fara came up with a last minute plan and then suddenly six of us (me, fara, ujang, serk, and two junior girls ecah and izanni) were on our way to Holland ! It was so last minute that we booked our hotel just the night before our trip ! Hahah.

We stayed in Almere in the province of Flevoland, located around 30 minutes from Amsterdam. For quite a cheap price the place is comfortable and it's not strict as we stayed more than 2 persons in one room!

Our first day was mainly spent in Keukenhof, the tulip heaven. I think we spent around 5 hours there. I just had to stop at almost every flower and take thousand of pics of every flower. They were just so beautiful and I feel so blessed to witness such beauty. And we even went to the Tulip Field ! ting ting ting ting *insert swarm coin sound here*

The next days we went to Giethoorn to 'drive' the boat. It was recommended by a friend and we got excited and wanted the exact big red boat. And then our excitement just went down the drain the minute we (not me) had to drive the boat. It wasn't easy! And everyone tried driving it, except me ! Heck, I can't even drive a car properly. And I'm the very lemah semangat type. In the middle on the tasik, without any life jackets, I wouldn't wanna risk my friends' lives. Hah hah.

Made a quick stop at Den Haag at night. Couldn't really see anything, but the soothing sound of the waves crashing the beach and the chilly breeze were really relaxing.

And then we also went to Zannse Schans, the place with wooden windmills and watched the sunset there. It's a nice place, but it's nothing compared to Keukenhof. Hahah. We didn't get to spend enough time at Amsterdam itself because the attractions are quite a distant from it. That's quite a bummer because Amsterdam is just really beautiful with it's old architecture. I definitely need to go again ! I just wanna stay in Amsterdam, enjoy the busy streets, chill at the hipster cafes, enter bookstores and people-watching. Oh, I forgot to mention Dutch guys are so good looking please?! There's just something about them ! Their neck's so panjang, beautiful eyes and hair, and their style are so on point! Gaahh. I don't get to see those kind of guys in Germany, not in Deggendorf at least..

All in all, it was a great trip. But I feel like I'm quite the spoiler because I'm such introvert and was too passive during the whole trip. And I think I made people uncomfortable with my presence because of my passiveness :( Actually honestly I am really shy when there's more people, especially with the ones I just met. I don't mingle too easily with people. And probably because it's also my first roadtrip with ramai-ramai. And I obviously need to work on my social skills, that's for sure! Need to loosen up/let loose a lil bit. I can only show my true color to my family and the closest of close friends. That's just how it is. And when there's more people, I'd automatically turn mute, and maybe even deaf. Hahaha.

 Okay i guess that's all about my trip. Here's some pictures !

   

 

Till next time !

Love, Zully.

Let's talk about Ayam Goreng.

Hi ! Guess what I had for lunch today? (it's in the title,duh)

My love for Ayam Goreng is like no other. I've always loved and will always love Ayam Goreng ! I remembered in my GMI days, I ordered rice with Ayam Goreng almost everyday and I was with fine it. I didn't mind eating the same meal everyday because I just love it that much. And since I'm the type who don't really like kuah on my rice (especially kuah berladung), so I could just eat plain rice and fried chicken, just like that. 

I've been craving for KFC for the past few days. Thanks to those ads on Facebook and instagram... 

So today I decided to goreng ayam! That happens verrryy rarely. I know that's weird for a person who loves to eat Ayam Goreng so much. But I just find it oh-so-hard to goreng ayam!

1. I hate the meletup-letup part. 

2. The smell of fried chicken will linger in my room. My pillow, bed sheet and duvet and let's just say my entire freaking room will smell like fried chicken!!!

But since I brought back this "tepung adabi" for frying, I guess i'd give it a try. And I did ! It tastes pretty good I shall say :D  

Heeee. Okie. That's my story about ayam goreng.

Bye.

And here's a time-lapse video weeee !

tadaa !

hangus sikit because i was snap-chatting sambil goreng hah hah.

Lotsa love,

Hi. Awal awal je ni rajin nak blogging, trust me. Hah.

I sorta feel weirder lately.. The fact that I think I'm weird is weird enough, no? Even my best friend said to me, "Jangan nak pelik pelik sangat pls" :(

Anyway, (one of) the reasons that I think I've been weird-er is, I recorded such a random video today. And I uploaded it hahahaha! The weather was so cantik, and sky was gorgeous today so I took out my phone and used my new baby, ollo clip lens to record my 'journey' to the grocery story. Wow.

Grocery shopping is something I do very often back home with Mummy. Since she's a baker, and a very forgetful human being (sorry mummy!), she goes grocery shopping almost everyday to buy her baking supplements. I honestly enjoy tagging along! I don't even know why. And I do miss going grocery shopping with Mummy :'(

There are a few grocery stores here where I live. My favorite has got to be REWE. I love going there even if I don't have anything to buy heh heh. Last year, I had a 'phase' when I restricted myself from going to REWE because it reminds me of my very dear kakak senior, Kak Peanut. We used to go to REWE together. I was a very clingy junior, and a mengada one too I would say. I still miss her every now and then! But after while I started going to REWE again. I guess that's normal, as my favorite saying from my all-time-favorite-tv-series-One-Tree-Hill goes, "People always leave." So I think I've gotten used to it already. Just needed a bit of time.

Here's my pointless video hah hah.

Ok. Bye.

Lots of love,

Z

Hello

from the other siiiide ! *obviously singing Adele's new song*

Can't believe I finally decided to start a new blog! I mean, I'm 22, it's about time I bid farewell to my old blog which was full of crap(read : teen angst, crush/boy-drama, celebrity crushes) . Cut me some slack! Those posts were from my very immature 11 to 21 year old self :p OMG?! 10 yearrssss.

zulaihshereen.blogspot.com (2005-2015)

I've change my blog link a few times and I remembered once it was "pinkprincess.blogspot.com". Seriously? *smacks forehead* But i'm never ever gonna delete that blog ! Man, my teenage memories have to be kept somewhere, right ?

Anyways, I was facetime-ing with my nephews just now and then I suddenly thought of blogging. About them, obviously :D

I'm currently missing them so much! I miss them everyday, to be honest. Just on some days I miss them a lil bit more than usual. Ever since 12.06.12, I've become an overly attached Auntie. Hah hah. I mean growing up I've always loved babies, I used to go my neighbor's house just to play with their babies. Yes, the word is play. Because all I do with babies(my nephews, included) are just to play with them. Or 'watch over' them, rather than taking care of them. Up until now I don't clean their poo, bathe them, or even "bancuh their susu". I think I've only done that once -_- So i'm no Mommy Material lah.

My friend once asked me, "So bila nak kahwin?". Firstly, that was a really random question. But we talked about it still. And I just laughed it off because at that time, if I could remember clearly, I said that I didn't wanna get married, or not too soon at least. Because I really do feel like not wanting to get married sometimes! But, I have to be honest though, I do fantasize on beautiful weddings(with loads and loads of fresh flowers) once in a while... But that's it, I fantasize on WEDDINGS, not MARRIAGE! It's not because I've become "tawar hati" or whatever shit people who've been in love would feel like once they've got their hearts broken, because, I've never been in love. Hah hah. But witnessing some relationships over the years just really scare the shit out of me. I'm not talking about boyfriend/girlfriend. I'm talking about married couple. I'm afraid of a broken relationship.

...wait, why am I talking about myself again..??

Back to the topic!!

So when I told that to my friend, he said, is it because I already have nephews, so they could be my pengganti ? Honestly I've never thought of that ! As in, if i'm not destined to get married, my nephews can be the "pengganti" to my own kids. *insert laughing + crying emoji here* Wow, that made me think though. Well, that could be true. I don't know why but I just really love my nephews and I don't mind spoiling them with gifts every now and then. I am quite calculative when buying stuffs for myself, but when I see something cute for my nephews I would just buy it without thinking twice. I think it's pretty normal for Aunties and Uncles to spoil their nephews and nieces more than their parents, no ?

Some people find it annoying, the obsessiveness I have towards my nephews. I don't understand why though..? Haha okay okay maybe it's because of the excessive pics and videos on instagram, twitter etc.. I'm sorry I just couldn't help it sometimes ! I guess it's partly because I've never had a younger sibling. So the minute I became and Aunt I just really love them unconditionally. Chehh. But I'm glad i'm not the only ones!! My close friends, Syawal and Adilah are overly attached aunties too. Every-time we meet up, we would end up talking about our nephews/nieces. Obsessed much ?

I guess that's it for the first post full of rants (as usual). I'm hungry !

p/s : The cheeky boy on the right is turning 2 in less than 2 weeks ! 

Lots of love and sloppy baby kisses, 

Aariz and Aadel's clingy Auntie,

SuYin
