Year end yang busy
Assalammualaikum.. and Good evening..
Almost 10 days and we will be celebrating new year of 2013. So how's the resolution? any new achievements? Well.... as to me, everything running like normal. Tak ada perkembangan dan cerita baru pun. Tapi dah year end ni, jadual harian makin busy pulak. Busy oleh sebab sebab berikut:-
- Semua orang dah busy mengisi borang cuti. Sampai aku sendiri tak sempat nak cuti. Cuti aku untuk tahun 2012 ni masih ada berbaki 9 1/2 hari lagi. Carry forward hanya 5 hari untuk tahun 2013. Hopefully i can get something out of that. Boss bayar ke....Hehehe!
- Court Vacation so called "vacate" tak pernah vacate. Kes punya la banyak hujung hujung tahun ni. Semua nak kejar masa. Semua nak dihabiskan dalam tahun ni.
- Mr Hubby is facing his revision week and will seat for his first final exam. So, as a wife, kita pun akan turut sama akan merasa "kesibukan" dia. Hari hari balik lewat. Study kat library katanya (jangan bohong sudahla!). So everyday balik kerja, kena masak. Kena rushing dari office melawan arus trafik yang tak pernah tak jam. Fuhhh.....
- Our Wedding anniversary is coming. No preparation at all done thus far. Maybe tak sempat nak raikan pun. Afterall, kalau Mr Hubby ingat pun, dah cukup bertuah. Still in my head, planning for something.....errrrr!
- As our plan to travel next year is just around the corner, i have yet to complete my itinerary. Now at the stage to finish my visa application. Frankly, this the most "annoying" country i've ever experienced. Give up pun ada. And tambah stress lagi bila Mr Hubby tak boleh membantu. So semua atas bahu aku.Bukan tak biasa urus sendiri, tapi dengan kesibukkan kerja sekarang banyak membataskan plan kami ni.
Baru half way aku nak complete kan visa ni. Banyak lagi dokumentasi yang diperlukan. Kalau Visa aku tak denied, then i will share the rest of the story with my fellow friends. Kalau denied, then senang cerita aku tukar destinasi jeh.....:(
Okla..nak sambung kerja.....see you...A Bientot!
Info on Japan again
Bonsoir!
Memandangkan ada lagi kawan kawan blogger bertanya preparation untuk ke Jepun, so i will publish this entry once again. Tips nak ke Jepun aku dah share sebelum ni, cuma maybe ada kurang jelas. Then, i will share it again...
Firstly, going to Japan requires Visa. You can print the form online.Click this link
All visas are free and can be collected within 3 working days. Documents required to attach with the form are:-
- Valid Passport
- Letter of confirmation (if you are working) stating the post, length of service and monthly salary
- Bank statement and salary slip (Certified True Copy)
- Itinerary in Japan
Secondly, ada kawan blogger tanya di mana nak beli winter apparel yang murah murah. As i mentioned earlier, kalau sesiapa yang tak kisah, boleh aje beli di Bundle.Aku sendiri beli di Bundle Kota Damansara dengan harga RM50. Brand Uniqlo. Hantar dobi dulu sebelum pakai and luckily semua ok. Kalau tak suka yang bundle2 ni, boleh la pergi ke kedai winter apparel macam biasa, tapi harga memang agak mahal kecuali ada sale. Tepuk dada tanya la selera masing masing.
And thirdly, pasal bajet di sana. Tip budget ni pun pernah aku share sebelum ni. In short, masa aku travel ke sana dulu, aku cuma bawak duit poket RM1,500. Itu hanya untuk belanja sahaja. Yang penting transport and hotel dah dikira. Frankly, in Japan, makanan dan transport boleh dikira sangat mahal. Jadi, please allocate lebih sikit bajet for both.
As to the accomodation, i highly recommend this: (if you travel to Osaka)

Tudung and Overseas?
Asslamualaikum...
Eh...apa relevant tajuk entry ni kan?...let me peel it......diam tak diam dah setahun lebih aku ada blog. Dalam berblogwalking ni, macam macam blog aku jumpa. Macam macam penulisan. Ada yang kelakar, ada yang asyik nak tunjuk muka sendiri (muncung sana sini, bajet cute agaknya), ada yang suka tayang kekayaan, harta benda, tayang boyfriend dan macam macam lagi. Terhibur jugak kalau dibaca betul betul.
As for me, kenapa aku berblog? Nak tiru orang ke sebab semua ada blog?ok...first and foremost, aku berblog sebab aku nak berkongsi pengalaman dengan kawan kawan di luar sana terutama sesiapa yang minat Travel. Aku suka berkongsi apa yang membuatkan travel tuh menarik. Apa excitement yang kita dapat. Pengalaman yang tak sama dengan apa yang kita lalui hari hari. Meeting with new peoples, new languages, new cultures, new weather and new in everything. Besides, i wanted to share the tips and Budget for those who loves traveling.
Travel to overseas is not confined to excitement, adrenaline, fun semata mata. Bukan hanya nak bergaya dengan boot mahal ala ala Victoria Beckam (spell pun x sure lah) bukan hanya nak memperagakan trench coat berwarna warni yang kita tak merasa nak pakai masa di Malaysia disebabkan cuaca yang panas dan bukan jugak medan untuk kita buka aurat sesuka hati memandangkan kita berada di tempat orang.
I am not an angel.Bukan juga sempurna. Sekadar untuk berkongsi pengalaman. Ada jugak yang bila kat negara sendiri bertudung sempurna, cantik mata memandang, akan tetapi bila bercuti ke luar negara, tup tup.. tudung entah ke mana. Maybe panas kot. Eh....kalau dah travel ke negara ber "zone" sejuk ni apa alasan pulak untuk tidak bertudung kan...or mungkin jugak rasa dengan bertudung ni everything is restricted. Tak boleh bergaya lebih lebih. Tak "rock" la kalau pakai tudung...Wallah alam..tepuk dada tanya selera. Masing masing dah dewasa untuk berfikir...
Ada juga yang janji macam bertudung, pakai lengan pendek, nampak leher, nampak telinga..tapi atas kepala letak selendang semata maata sebab berada di oversea.Tapi bila di Tanahair sendiri, all the sudden, elok jeh sempurna menutup aurat. Nak kata hipokrit, Wallaahu alam.. Ye, bila bercakap bab agama, sesetengah orang berpendapat, masing masing jaga hal sendiri, Kubur pun lain lain. Sendiri punya amalan, sendiri la tanggung. Itu terpulang la pada firasat dan pendapat masing masing. Pada aku, kalau kita buat perkara yang sendiri dah tahu salah, kenapa nak di war war kan pada orang lain. Contoh seperti isu buang tudung bila bercuti ke luar negara ni, tak perlu la nak post gambar gambar tu di blog atau pun di laman sosial. Cukup la sendiri yang tahu kan. Kenapa mesti bangga kalau kita tahu itu bukan diri kita.....
Ye, kesimpulannya, Allah ada di mana mana. Bukan hanya di Malaysia. Allah tetap sama.... till now...mari lah sama beramal...untuk diri aku yang utamanya..:)....Au Revoir!

French! French! French!
Assalammualaikum...
Dah seminggu lebih tak update. Well....as usual, tak ada cerita nak share..but its ok. Slowly i will update more. I am pre occupied with works now. Masa untuk update blog sangatla susah.
One of my new resolution is to enroll for foreign language. Probably next year. Tapi tu nama nya azam jeh. Tak tahu la menjadi ke tidak. Tak taula ada masa ke tidak. My office mate ada enroll untuk Mandarine Class di PJ. Class will be held every sunday at 10.00 am. ...Well...thinking if there is french Class over there. But as a first step, i bought this simple but useful book...
Hah.....Rajinnya nak menelaah buku ni. Buku yang sedia ada pun terpaksa amek sebulan nak habiskan...BUT....i will try....i know that French isn't easy. You need practice and determination. Semua language pun macam tuh. Dulu masa Undergraduate, aku belajar bahasa Arab. Dari Level 1 sampai lah tamat Level 6, tapi masih tak mampu nak menguasai. Bagi aku, Bahasa Arab sangat kompleks, especially bab grammer. Nangis woooooo.......nasib baik lulus jeh.....
And now, ada hati pulak nak belajar French...fuhhh.....mari berazam!........till now.. A Bientot!
Bila Handphone Hilang!
Assalamualaikum...
I was in dilemma. Should i get myself a new Handphone at this moment? or should i wait.....sedihnya bila HP hilang. Walaupun Hp tu bukan la mahal sangat, tapi segala contact no dan nombor2 penting kat dalam tu.
Al kisahnya last saturday, me and buddy lepak lepak kat Pavillion. Almost nak balik tuh, aku gatal kaki pulak nak singgah ke Starbuck nak beli feveret Ice Shaken Lemon Tea, pastu buddy aku naik atas nak beli air kat Kopitiam. Sehabisnya aku que and bayar air tuh, aku naik atas level 4 and join buddy aku lepak kopitiam kejap. Then aku kuar kan Handphone sebab nak reply sms. And kami rushing nak balik. Sampai jeh kat parking, sedar sedar jeh handphone dah tak ada. Bergegas kami ke Kopitiam balik. Tanya staf staf kat situ kot ada nampak Hp tertinggal, semua tak mengaku ada jumpa.
What makes me trigger is that, at the time i left the table, their staffs are busy cleaning the tables and some of them even staring at our table because i took the starbuck beverage into the Kopitiam. Standardla tak boleh bawak makanan luar masuk kan. Tapi tak ada orang pulak yang tegur. So then aku kira okla....So..logically, when i left, definately their staf will suddenly realize that something has been left behind. But no one cares to at least inform me.
Imej Kopitiam yang digugel. |
Then aku buat lodge di security. Nak tengok cctv. Kalau staf Kopitiam yang amek, then another story. Kalau other bystander, then aku redha sebab sendiri punya kecuaian. Infact, the police told me that, cctv image tak boleh ditengok pada hari yang sama. Kena tunggu sampai isnin. It means TODAY!. Kena call diorang dulu then baru tahu outcome macam mana...
Disini, aku bukan menuduh. Jauh sekali nak mengaibkan pekerja pekerja kat situ. Tapi hati kecil ni masih lagi tak puas hati. Tak tau la kenapa. Jarang sangat customer yang nak duduk makan kat situ nak mencuri kan...but generally, who knows.It so MAGIC la kalau suddenly HP tu boleh dapat balik. Afterall, its ownself negligent. Whose to be blame kan..ME1 ME!
Just want to express my remorse over my own carelessness....till then..Au Revoir!
Lost World Of Tambun and Maal Hijrah
Assalammualaikum..
Dimulakan dengan Kalimah Bismillahhirahmanirrahim......Aku start entry yang dah dekat 2 minggu tak update dengan ucapan Salam Maal Hijrah dan selamat menyambut tahun baru untuk semua. Semoga tahun baru ini akan memberikan kita lebih Syafaat dan keberkatan...Amin!
Chapter Pertama
Macam Novel pulak. Actually there are a number of stories that i would love to share here. But due to time constraint, i have to postpone it. Okay, now....school break, Deepavali and Maal Hijrah breaks as well. Weehoooo.....eventhough i am not the Educater, i'm super duper excited as much as they enjoyed this long break. Less traffic. I believe each one of you has agenda during this break. Kenduri kawinla, trip la, balik kampung etc etc. As for me, 12/11/2012, we went to the World Lost of Tambun. Last minute punya plan. Macam macam destinasi ada dalam fikiran. Phuket la, Singapore la, Legoland la, Krabi la, Koh Sa Moi and macam macam lagi. Tapi tak unanimous pulak. Ada jeh yang tak setuju. Masalah cuti, bajet, interest dan sebagainya menjadi punca susah nak determine. Lastly, semua agree nak ke Tambun. Dekat pun dekat.

My Daddy tengah bengang sebab tak amek gambar dia.......hehe.! |
Dengan entrance fee RM38, i guess it a lil bit over rated. Tak banyak rides yang ada kat dalam ni. Pool untuk mandi manda pun tak lah seluas mana. Pusing pusing tempat yang sama jeh. Except untuk hotspring kat sini, agak memuaskan sebab banyak dan tak perlu nak campur sangat dengan orang lelaki......(malu).....
Souvenier |
Seriously, i dont have a pic over here. Hujan lebat pulak hari tu. Tak sempat nak bergambar gambar sakan. Kamera memang dalam beg jeh. Jadi tak dapat la nak cerita detail sangat apa yang berlaku kat dalam tu. Sepanjang disni, kami menginap di homestay milik kawan adik aku dengan sewa RM200 sehari.
Tempat kami lepak lepak di Homestay. |
Dining space with 3 rooms. |
Chapter 2
Just like to wish everyone once again Selamat Menyambut Maal Hijrah and certain things that i would love to accomplish ..semoga Allah memudahkan segala urusan:
1. Going for my Holiday this coming January and February.
2. Enroll for Foreign Language Class (especially French and Mandarine)
3. Planning to perform Umrah and visit Istanbul at the end of 2013
4. Loss some weight.. (at least 10kg..wow!)
Semoga Allah mempermudahkan segala sesuatu dan dimurahkan Rezeki Amin!..till then..Au Revoir!

Rough Patch
Morning everyone...almost 2 weeks with no entry. No Story.. Actually, lately i was a bit on my "rough patch". Overwhelmed by so many things. Works, family, hubby,pimples, traffic etc etc. Those kind of things really makes me reluctant to update any...
Sebagai manusia, memang kita tak dapat lari dari masalah. Apapun, memang kena redha. The best shield that my granny once told me to overcome and be resilient during these predicament, is PATIENCE!...yesss..that is the hardest thing to be.....
Oklah....hopefully everything will be back to normal and i can stay focus on things that i used to do. Probably continue to travel...next year...???....yippieeeee...
Part and parcel of my life now. Key in data.....tak habis habis... |
Lambakkan fail yang belum settle sepenuhnyaaa...... |
P/s: Buat kerja jangan bertangguh......arghhhhhhhhhh!
MATTA FAIR 2012
Morning peeps.....last day of the weekend....and then 3 days break....weeeehaaaaaa..i'm thrilled. By the way, just want to share my last weekend activity that i went to MATTA FAIR held at PWTC. This is my first time being to MATTA. Errr....saja nak tengok kemeriahan....
We just Parked at Putra Bus Station. Per entry hanya RM3..wehuuuuu.....bila diperhatikan, ramai betul chienese yang attend Matta ni...nak balik China kot..
RM4 Per entry |
As aspected , crowds memang dasyat jugak. If not mistaken, ada dalam 3 ke 4 Hall. Hall 1 untuk cuti cuti Malaysia, Hall 2 and 3 untuk overseas. We stepped into Hall 1 then buat tawaf sekali. Pakej yang ditawarkan menarik la jugak. Swiss Garden Hotel offered 3 days and 2 nights free if we enroll for membership. Ni yang malas. Nasib baik kami dah explain yang tujuan kami ke MATTA ni just nak observe je. Bukan nak jadi mana mana ahli pertubuhan Perlancongan...kuikuikui....nasib baik adik tu faham. Daripada nak bazir masa semua pihak kan........
Booth Swiss Garden |
We proceed to Hall 2 and Hall 3. And i just feel so thrilled when looking at those flyers they distributed to the guest. From Spain to Italy, London to Paris, From Brazil to Peru, From Los Angeles to New York, From turkey to Moscow....makes my passion to travel even higher...
Emirates Booth |
Emirates is among the airlines that offers the cheapest fare, as well as Qatar Airlines. One of the benefits when we fly with emirates is that, they offer more wide and various destination compared to other airlines. I believe they also serve better in their foods and hospitality.
Among the flyer that i took that day. |
Oleh kerana keadaan crowd yang sesak, memang tak ada mood nak snap gambar banyak banyak. Ni pun just amek guna Handphone. Plus promotion dari booth booth tour agency yang berlambak tuh. Pendapat aku, kalau nak dapatkan harga yang lebih berbaloi, elokla beli dengan pakej Air Ticket+ Ground sekali. Kalau beli air ticket jeh, still ada beza harga yang banyak, tapi akan lebih murah kalau amek semua and secara group.
Pensive look. Hunting for the best deal maybe! |
In short, we just spent 3 hours at MATTA. Without buying anything. At least dapat gambaran harga harga pakej pun jadi laaa....ada berpuluh puluh flyer yang aku amek and simpan tak sempat nak belek lagi..hahaha...semangat jeh nak pegi.Okla....ada sesiapa yang pergi ke MATTA ke boleh la share cerita menarik. Mana tau ada yang dah beli pakej percutian menarik ke...okla...till now..babai!
My Mom'S Travel story
Ohhh my mom memang suka menulis. Dah jadi hobi dia. Sebelum ni aku pernah post pasal travel story dia dalam majalah MIDI.. My mom berkongsi pengalaman travel ke sana pada tahun lepas...ada 2 keluaran untuk setiap cerita. Yela, cerita pun panjang kan..hehe....
My Papa and mama....muahhhhhhhh!, yang kat atas tu aku and the gang! |
Lepas ni, my mom kata nak menulis lagi. Menulis kisah ke Jepun pulak...semoga boleh jadi panduan pada rakan rakan blogger nanti....oklah..hanya berkongsi info....i'll see you in the next entry...papai!
Ni gambar original dalam simpanan..hehehe |

KL-Temerloh-Kuantan-KL-JB-Geylang-KL
Verangan macam kat Hollywood... |
Salam Aidilfitri buat semua teman teman Blogger. Dah hampir 2 minggu rasanya tak jenguk jenguk blog. Maklumla, busy beraya. Hari ni dah nam masuk hari ketiga bekerja. Ya betul. Kerja dah bertimbun. Kepala dah rasa sarat balik. Cuti 9 hari tuh memang tak cukup.
Raya pertama kami ke Temerloh. Raya kedua kami ke Kuantan cuci mata.Hari Raya ketiga kembali ke KL. Hari Raya keempat terus ke JB. Jalan jalan lagi.Hajat nak ke rumah abang ipar, tapi mereka ke Jakarta last minit. Pendek kata keseleluruhan keluarga ada agenda masing masing. Keluarga mertua pun semua ke Jakarta menghadiri wedding di sana. Oleh kerana memang tak tahu nak kemana, Mr Hubby ajak ke Geylang Singapore. Aku pun tak tahu nak buat apa ke sana. Sebelum ni pergi naik bas, nak flight and kali ni kami decide nak drive masuk jeh ke Singapore. Lagi convenient kot...
Cuma nak masuk ke Singapore bawak keta ni kena apply Auto Pass. Apply kat Border jeh. Lepas cop cop Pasport tuh, just berhenti kat tepi and apply jeh Auto Pass. Isi la form macam biasa. Kad ni tak ada expiry date. Bila bila lepas ni nak guna balik pun boleh.
Our journey to Sentosa Island |
Contoh Auto pass kami |
Kami menginap di salah sebuah Hotel di area Geylang.Hotel Fragrant- Saphhire ni tak la begitu memuaskan. Saiz bilik yang sangat kecik. Lebih kurang size Tune Hotel jeh. Tapi yang best, keadaan bilik sangat bersih.. Kalau nak dapatkan makanan halal, boleh gak ke kedai makan muslim mamak kat area sini. Jalan kaki jeh.
Dipendekkan cerita, Mr Hubby nak ke Universal Studios lagi. Katanya masa pergi last year tak ada Transformers 3D tuh. Tahun ni dah ada. So aku pun angguk jeh. Layan jeh la. Ingatkan pergi time raya ni tak ramai orang. Salah sungguh sangkaan aku. Que nak masuk punya la panjang. Lenguh satu badan. Jarak US dari hotel tak jauh. dalam 9.8KM jeh. Berpandukan GPS, kami drive ke sini. Kadar Parking kat US ni dalam SGD24 untuk sehari. So auto pass tadi kena la ada baki mencukupi. Kalau tak cukup baki, boleh topup kat 7E kat atas US tuh.
Space memang cukup luas.... |
Crowded |
Suasana hari Raya...hehehe |
Dapat bergambar dengan autobots pun jadi laaa |
Que di dalam Transformers Rides 3D |
SGD12.90 |
My Travel Tips
Dalam busy busy kerja ni, persiapan raya lagi, masih sempat nak tengok blog. Al maklumla, dah lama tak update blog. Memang seronok bulan puasa ni, kemeriahan terasa. Tapi apa yang penat,ialah tahap kesesakan jalan raya yang semakin kronik, nak rushing masa nak masak lagi. Semalam sajer aku sampai rumah 6.30 petang, walhal keluar office 4.30. Sampai jeh rumah, terus berkung fu kat dapur. Tangan kiri masak nasi, tangan kanan masak air. Nasib kaki tak boleh guna jeh. Nak potong sayur, bawang, keluarkan ayam dari fridge lagi etc etc. Siap masak jeh dah pukul 7.10pm and sedar sedar masih tak solat asar. Subhanaallah.......
Oklah...since blog aku ni memang focus pasal travel, so aku nak share tips tips untuk travel. Ada jugak yang hantar email tanya bajet dan tips nak travel ni. So aku wat jeh satu entry tentang tips tips ni. Sebenarnya tips umum jeh. Rasanya rata rata tahu. Tapi dalam yang tahu tuh,ada jugak yang tak tahu kan...ehehehe....
INSIDE YOUR BAGGAGE:-
1. Cloths?Depends on weather. But please bring along your light jacket, trench coat (when you travel across europe, mostly its chilly all the times and rainny except peak summer (Julai-Ogos)
except winter... |
2. Dont forget your lip balm and mosturiser/vaseline as humidity in those countries (cold zone) is extremely low. Dryness and itchiness will erupt all over your body. Seriously, i've experienced that.
Fatally impoartant! |
3. Carry along your mineral bottle all the way because its very difficult for us to find the toilet with water supply. The only thing left in there are tissues.As a muslims, hygiene is the utmost part.
COMPULSORY! |
4.Bring along your universal charger/adapter (compulsory). You can purchase this in certain airlines.. (Airasia).
Sometimes i bought it at the hotel |
5. Make sure that you weight your luggage before travel. Especially when boarding Airasia,. excessive baggage will cost you millions!. (we have experienced this at Stanstead Airport, where we need to pay RM650) over the excess baggage...huwaaaaaaa....Some airlines provides 20KG Max Baggage and some 30KG.
Use normal weight machine..kehkeh |
6.To smoothen your journey, kindly purchase travel wristlet/holder so that you can easily jumble your things like passport, Visa,money, ID card etc in one place.
Please scrutinize your items |
7.If you are travel lover, please buy yourself a durable luggage with 4 wheels. It happens to me, i brought POLO luggage which cost me only RM60 but end up damaged in the middle of nowhere.( Samsonite pun ok). Its worth the buy because it carries your valuable belongings.
Not afford but worth the buy....huhuh, but some of my friends say, it might lost during the cargo transfer.. |
8.Do learn some of their basic languange to enable you to comunicate and they will treat you well. Especially in france and Japan. I bought myself a simple pocket guidebook . At least i can ask the most basic questions like, where is this place?How do you do, Good moring etc etc. They'll appreciate it..trust me!
Pocket size is easier |
9. Carry along a compass to facilitate you in finding Qiblah direction.
Learn how to use this |
10.Please carry along your itinerary each time you travel across border. As the european countries do not require visas for traveler.At the Customs Department, they frequently requested for your itinerary to make sure that you have a place to stay.
Air Asia itinerary |
ON THE GO:-
1. During long haul flight (8-14 Hours), please stretch your leg, especially moves your toes to prevent swelling. It happens to me a few times and it took at least one day to heal back.
My kaki with socks..... |
2. If you are a toilet lover, choose a seat down the aisle .
Please choose your seat if you are so much concern of toilet and travel with baby |
3.Bring along your pen always and complete your arrival form at least 1 hour before landing.
Dont ever forget! |
4.If you travel by airasia, please book your meal online. Time and money save and you will not missed your favourite meal. It happens to me once, i have to pay RM25 for a plate of "not tasty" vegetarian lasagna.
Air Asia concern only |
GENERAL TIPS:-
1.Summer is the best season to travel. Longer day for a walk and sale all over the place.But prepare for long ques in any major attractions..hehe
Que di Maddame Tussauds lebih dari 2 jam......:( |
2.. If you travel with different airlines, please check your connection flight prior to your vacation. It will ease you in boarding process. So no need to claim your luggage twice.
I've experienced this during my transit at Suvarnabhumi International Airport, Bangkok. To change flite (Lufthansa Airlines to Egypt Air to Cairo. Maybe i could have skipped this long que! |
3.If you are using escalator, kindly stand on your right side to allow other to pass through.(in Malaysia, we used to stand on left side).
4. Google your Halal Food. Check some of your raw material (rice, sardine,bread,anchovies) whether it is approved items. I've experienced this when we have to throw out some foods at Coolangata International Airport, Australia. (sayang kat serunding daging kena buang)
5. Always check your passport expiry date (6 months before actual expiry date) and check Visa's application prior to your vacation.
6. If you travel alone (without travel agent), please choose your hotel near the Public transport especially subway. You can purchase the pass online. I've attach the link in my previous entry. Public Cab/airport Limo will cost you a lot. I've experienced it when i went to Japan, which i took a cab (midnight) from Subway station to the hotel (approx less than 6KM and it cost me around JPY2,000 (RM79++).
7. Print your map/subway map/bus route and laminate. It will be your amulet..hahaha..everything you are about to do, you will refer to that.
8. My friend once told me, try not to bring the baggage with those slots and pockets. It will gives others space to put something "unwanted" into your luggage. DRUGS for example.
9.Try to make your baggage "different" from the others by tagging it, buying an extra striking color so to make you easy to trace your bags at the baggage claim conveyer.
