My Journey to Korea: Financial Planning

Salam and hello dearies!

Okay, I think I have mentioned about my plan to travel to Korea so many times in my blog. So, I gonna create a special column for my future Korea Trip which is called My Journey to South Korea. I don't know why I'm so pump up with this Korea trip. Maybe because I have been influenced by the daebak (awesome) stories and photos from the backpackers in the FB. Or maybe because I'm obsessed with their oppas, cultures and of course, K-Pop and K-Dramas. Hehehe...

So in this first part, I wanna talk about my financial preparation to Korea. As an addict shopaholic, managing my finance is extremely challenging for me to do. Every month, I WILL buy something for myself. Regardless whether it is cosmetics, skincare, handbag, watch or just simply treat myself at a fancy restaurant. It sounds harmless but the thing is, once I go shopping, I can spent almost RM500 in a single trip. That's insane! I can't control myself from not buying. 

Yup, I'm not exaggerating right now. Because of my weird addiction, in order for me to overcome this problem and ensure that my financial preparation phase goes out well, I need to avoid myself from going to any shopping malls. It's not just that, I even need to stay away from places that I can spurge my money uncontrollably. 

Here are the things that I need to AVOID from now until September, 2016.

1. No shopping complex

2. No dining at fancy restaurants

3. No ONLINE shopping!

4. No cinema (maybe once every 3 months)

Now, here are the things that I MUST do...

1. Save at least RM100 every month (piggy bank)

2. Eat at home

3. Use all of my make up available

4. Business (maybe...)

I hope I can manage my finance well. Huhuhu...

Till I write again!

Stay Fabulous

Amazing Places to go before I Die

Salam and hello dearies

I want to travel all over the world. That's one of the dreams that I want to do before I die. Insya Allah.  Alhamdulillah, based on all of the major cities listed above, I have visited two cities which are London and Sofia (Istanbul). I visited these two cities when I was studying in the UK. Well actually I have visited a lot of cities and countries but they are not in the list above. Other cities and countries that I have visited were the UK (Plymouth, Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham, Cardiff, Bristol & Penzance), Ireland (Dublin, Galway & Belfast), Brunei and Indonesia (Jakarta & Bandung). 

What I love about travelling is I can experience other cultures, architectures and also their FOOD! Duh! When I was in Istanbul, I met many friendly people (they like Malaysians - we were like celebrities because they wanted to take photos with us. Hehehe...), the original Baklava, rose honey, apple tea, fish bread (the best one), went to Europe and Asia in a day (just cross the bridge) and went to visit historical places like Hagia Sophia, The Blue Mosque, Sultan Mehmed's castle and Mustafa Kemal Ataturk's castle.

We were passing by and saw these newlyweds and their families taking photos and they were like calling us and asked to join them too - super friendly!

These medical students were REALLY insisted to take a photo with us!

Hehehe... I think travelling is really fun and can help to create wonderful memories and experiences that we might not experience in our own place. I cherish every moment that I ever had during my travelling years. I really hope that I can continue to travel. Insya Allah I will start my travelling journey this year. 

So, here are some of the interesting places that I ever visited. BTW, I was a student back then so I didn't wear too much make up. Hehehe...

Cruising the Bosphorus Strait, Istanbul

One of the castles in Galway, Ireland

Anfield Stadium (Liverpool FC), Liverpool

Birmingham

London!

Ahhh, I really miss those places. Insya Allah, I will try my best to further my studies in the UK back. My phd perhaps? Hehehe...

p/s - which country or city that you wish to visit?

Till I write again!

Stay Fabulous

XoXo,
