Itinerari Padang, Indonesia - Hari #1 (Minangkabau Airport > Padang Panjang > Bukittinggi)

 Kalau sebut Indonesia, tiket paling murah adalah ke kawasan Sumatera. Let it be Medan, Padang, Aceh, dan sebagainya. Bertitik-tolak daripada tergugatnya iman melihat tiket AirAsia yang berbaloi (hehe), aku teruskan dengan perancangan untuk berjalan-jalan ke Padang, Indonesia. Tak ambil pakej tour guide, sebab aku suka merancang. Half of the joy in travelling is in the planning itself. Jadi, tolong jangan curi kebahagian aku.

By the way, rasa macam tiber sangat nak mula menulis. Post terakhir aku adalah pada tahun 2016 ya, sembilan tahun yang lepas! Iklan sekejap - writing is indeed my escape, so for the past number of years, I did journaling and micro-blogging (aka Twitter). But it couldn't compare to write in your very own personal space, the Blog. So, here I am, trying to capture back the moment with the intention of sharing. Cheers!

Kembali ke tajuk asal - Itinerari Padang, Indonesia. Sebetulnya, aku (dan suami, dan adik bongsu) ke Padang pada tahun lepas (2024) selama 4 hari 3 malam Setelah setahun baru dapat ilham (dan kerajinan) menulis hehe. Perjalanan kami dimulakan pada 1 Mac dengan menaiki penerbangan AirAsia pada jam 3.30PM (flight delay hampir satu jam). Setibanya di Lapangan Terbang Antarabangsa Minangkabau (waktu Indonesia sekitar jam 4.30PM), kami disambut dengan awan gelap. Langit kota Padang mendung berawan dihiasi hujan renyai. Turun sahaja daripada perut kapal terbang, kami terus beratur di barisan Imigresen. Hampir sejam lebih baru selesai segala urusan dan dapat keluar daripada airport. Kami menyewa kereta (lepas kunci; pandu sendiri tanpa supir) daripada AmubaCorp - model Honda Brio Automatic dengan harga Rp. 350,000 per hari. Pihak kereta sewa sudah siap menunggu di luar airport, dan kami terus ke destinasi seterusnya.

Sekitar jam 6 petang, perjalanan hari pertama kami di Ranah Minang dimulakan ke menuju ke Bukittinggi. Kami singgah mengalas perut di Pasar Kuliner Padangpanjang - sebuah pasar malam yang terkenal dengan kepelbagaian menu. Tujuan utama untuk menikmati Nasi Kapau di Ampera Tanpa Nama. Selesai makan, kami pusing-pusing di Pasar Kuliner dan berpeluang menikmati Sate Padang bersama Alpukat Kocok. Tapi, sate Malaysia tetap nombor satu hehe.

Hujan renyai di Padang Panjang

Ampera Tanpa Nama - waktu malam pun ramai makan nasi!

Nasi kapau dengan aneka lauk (kerepek ubi pedas, belut goreng garing, rendang, etc). Sedap!

Sate Padang - jualan gerai Sate Soleram

Aneka fruit smoothies

Nasi Kapau vs Nasi Padang - NK macam nasi campur, kita bebas memilih lauk untuk terus dicampurkan dalam pinggan nasi. Kalau NP, lauk-pauk akan dihidangkan dalam piring berasingan.

Perut kenyang, kami teruskan perjalanan ke Bukittinggi. Terus check-in hotel, meluruskan kaki, dan berehat untuk aktiviti esok. Eh tapi sebelah hotel ada mini mart, maka, wajib singgah untuk beli jajanan dan kudapan. Okay zzzzzz next post untuk hari seterusnya hihi.

📌 Notakaki: Seeloknya ambil penerbangan waktu pagi, lebih banyak aktiviti boleh dilakukan.

Review: 3W Clinic Intensive UV Sunblock Cream SPF 50+

Assalamualaikum.

Been a long time I haven’t updated here. Sorry for that though, for the past month, I’ve been busy with final examination and such, and now after the examination is over, I’ve been busy with relaxing and getting used of not-doing-anything haha ;)

For the first time ever, I’m gonna write some review abt this sunblock that I just bought few days ago, via 11street.my (do stalk them, they have LOTSSSSS of kewl products). Oh and this sunblock also available at hermo.my and some other website too.

For ages (yes, agessss, since I was 17 y/o which is since 2012), up until now, I’ve stick to the same sunblock ever and ever. It’s the *drumroll*

Bioré UV Perfect Face Milk SPF 50++ ! :D

But as time goes by, the price also increasing meh :(( During 2012, it only priced at around MYR20. But now the price is about MYR32. For a student like me, it’s a bit pricey haha so I always try to find another sunblock that’s as good as Bioré UV Perfect Face Milk but also coming with a cheaper price. Hehe. Okay before that, that Bioré’s sunblock is really really really good okay.

So, back to what I bought at 11street.my is a 3W Clinic (a Korean brand) product, Intensive UV Sunblock Cream SPF 50+. I bought it at price of MYR31.90 for two set. So each is MYR15.95 ! So cheap ah :D Okay we all have that sceptical and doubtful thought whenever we see a really good product (#1 Nice packaging #2 SPF 50+) that comes with a reasonable price. I have that doubt at first. But nah I Google’d some more and found some good review abt this 3W Clinic Intensive UV Sunblock Cream. So based on that judgement, I bought this stuff.

3W Clinic Intensive UV Sunblock Cream

*front*

*back* the ingredients was in Korean, cannot understand meh :((

packaging is quite neat

yay, list of ingredients all in English, and also way to use it ;)

Having the 3W Clinic sunblock, as compared to Bioré, I would actually say that Bioré is way much better than 3W Clinic. Huhu. That’s because I found that 3W Clinic has a heavier texture (hence the name; Sunblock Cream) while Bioré has a almost-like-water texture (hence the name; Face Milk). Using the 3W Clinic sunblock, I don’t really think you have to put moisturiser as it’s already packed with that moisturising effect.

So does my purchase worth the value?

Yes and no (I’m really indecisive);

Yes, because the product is actually okay. It do moisturise your skin.

No, because I love Bioré’s face milk more ! Ahahaha. It’s just that I tend to sweat a lot. So the 3W Clinic sunblock doesn’t fit me well.

Choose wisely. Bye :)

Daily Beauty Habits (That You Should Know)

"Yay kalau rajin boleh buat !" Malangnya tak tajin sobs.

Assalamualaikum.

Hi guys ! Been a long time I haven’t wrote anything in here *sigh*. It’s been a hectic semester, not to mention the killer subject which has four credit hours! Ohmygawd T__T My heart skips a beat whenever I entered the class. Okay so what the heck I’m doing here when I actually supposed to study?!? Have a seat and be prepared cause I’m going to make a so-called beauty tips class. Please. Don’t. Laugh. *insert cute cat face with shiny eyes* HAHAHAHAH (jap ini sangat serius tapi this is really not me what gotten into me hahahah gawddd.) Back to our beauty tips *ehem* *don’t laugh*. I really think these four basic steps that I’ll explain below is the basic of everything. (To those who born with clear-normal face you reallyyyyyyyyy should be thankful.)

Okay okay lets get started yo! 

I do believe that our beauty actually depends on what our beauty habits are. But the fact is, the real beauty shine from the inside okeh hehe (ayat selamatkan diri bagi insan macam aku yang the outside beauty tak berapa nak hado wahahah) Today let me share with you 4 important beauty habits that every of you should know.

1) Exfoliate

Haa padia weh menatang exfoliate nih? Pi bukak kamus sana ceh. 

Exfoliation ni kiranya the most crucial parts of skin care, because it removes dead cells from your skin and eventually reveals much healthier and more beautiful skin. Aku tahu memang rajin sangat em sangat nak exfoliate kulit everyday kan. Dengan penat balik kelas esok test lusa deadline assignment memang tak kuasa la nak oi aku nak exfoliate setiap hari. Aip aip, nak cantik kena rajin (punchline tak jadi abaikan mashehh).

One quick fact, after exfoliating, your skin will be able to absorb skincare products like creams and lotions easier and quicker. So all your money that's used to buy all range of skincare products will not go in waste. Yay.

For easy lip-exfoliating.

2) Moisturize

Moisturizing the face is normal for most women but do not forget the benefit of moisturizing your body. Try to use body lotion every day and not once in a while only when your skin feels dry. For first starter, at least moisturize yourself before going to sleep. Put on your fav scent and wallah, sweet dream haha. Pamper yourself with your favourite body lotion and trust me, your skin will love it and becomes soft and gorgeously glowing. 

3) Use oils

It is not a secret anymore that olive oil and coconut oil can be the all-in-one moisturizer. (OLIVE OIL FTW ! HEHE). You can use them to moisturize your face and body or you can apply it on your lips as a lip balm. They can replace your under eye cream too and help nourish your hair and make your nails look beautiful. As the old folks do, they apply coconut oils to their hair to add extra shine and health. 

4) Always protect your skin from the sun!

Please and please, wear sunscreen ALL THE TIME. Keep in mind that harmful UV rays can reach deep layers of your skin and damages it from within. It is the main cause of skin wrinkles and premature aging. So, if you want to have healthy and beautiful skin, do not forget your sunscreen. 

Sun is forever my fav !

That's the end for our beauty class today. Acewahh.

But, remember, whatever we are doing (eating studying sleeping exfoliating hehe) semua itu tetapkan niat kalian.  

"Innamal a'malu binniyat” (Indeed all actions are based on the intentions)

Nak berhias, berhiaslah. Fitrah wanita itu sendiri memang sukakan kecantikan. Tetapi, kawallah fitrah tu. Jangan berhias berlebih-lebihan, yang sehingga boleh membawa kepada kemurkaan-Nya. Sama-sama kita menjaga diri ya bakal-bakal ahli syurga sekalian ! *wink wink*
