Kali pertama ke luar negara

lambat bersiaran hari ni sbb tak buat scheduled post...kekurangan idea jugaklah hahah

so tepek screenshot (ss) ajerlah..ni MZ amik kat FB...kat group rarecation..

 MZ kali pertama travel ke luar negara naik flight ialah masa umur 29 or 30 tahun(tak ingat exact date)...masa tu dh ada zharfan (masih baby lagi dia)...MZ pergi attend one week course kat NUS, Singapore (MZ memang dh join/keje UIA masa ni)...course dan trip tu was sponsored by JIPO (Japan Intellectual Property Office)...so flightnya (Singapore Airlines), hotel & food memang covered, siap dpt elain harian lagi...cuma zmn tu MZ lom start berblog so tak boleh nak recall betul2..dan MZ tak de smartphone jugak..zmn tu dh ada handphone tp bkn smartphone mcm zmn sekarang laaa...gmbr pun tak de..rasa2nya MZ ada bwk digicam kot tp memang tak delah gmbr2 nya sbb PC MZ dh byk kali bertukar2 sejak zmn bujang sampailah sekrg umur 50 dahhh

so uolls, bila kali pertama travel ke luar negara?

salam hari selasa everyone!

Hello Turkish Airlines | Miles & Smiles

tagline Turkish Airlines membership (frequent flyer) ialah Miles & Smiles == hampir 100% nak sama dgn nama blog kecik MZ ni...sumpah tak tiru! I started my blog in 2007...zmn tu MZ tak amik tahu pun psl syarikat penerbangan(fly gi UK pun naik MAS ajer, tahu MAS jer..dan naik jugak AirAsia masa fly to UK thn 2009 tu)..

anyway, MZ random jer pilih nama blog as Miles of Smiles sbb suka rhyming words dan memang nak describe blog kecik MZ ni as my personal journal utk happy2 stories jer (jrg2 jer MZ post kisah2 sedey)

so far MZ dh 2x terbang dgn Turkish Airlines (TA)..first time 2024 masa gi UK dan 2nd time, may thn ni ie pergi amsterdam..tp tak terbukak hati nak register sbg member (dh rugi terlps utk collect beribu2 loyalty points tu)

better be late than never..so semlm ptg MZ dh register (bknnya susah mana pun nak register, simple dan cepat ajer)...niat di hati, nak travel awal tahun dpn kalau tiada aral.

alang2 entry related to travel, MZ tepek quotes psl travel..tak kisahlah travel abroad naik flight or even road trip dlm msia pun...travel and make sweet memories! anyway, next weekend MZ and lil family plan nak gi staycation kat melaka for our razeen's bday. moga2 smooth semuanya

happy sunday uolls!

Unboxing amenity pouch

one of the reasons kenapa MZ suka naik Turkish Airlines ialah...sebab dpt complimentary pouches ni..

sbb MZ travel berdua dgn mr hubby so dpt one each la..yg kaler cream tu masa flight KLIA-istanbul-amsterdam...yg hijau tu masa nak balik msia...selain hijau tu, ada byk jer kaler lain (nampak org lain punya ie ada merah, oren biru), tp MZ dan mr hubby both dpt yg hijau ie dia bagi random jer (letak atas seat siap2 so bila dh naik dan nak duduk, amik jer apa yg ada atas seat)

jom intai apa ada dlm tu

kaler all the items ikut kaler pouch tu..ada socks, bedroom slippers, eye mask, ear bud, berus gigi dan ubat gigi travel set. all these stuff utk digunakan dlm flight sbb long haul flight, lenguh if pakai kasut lama2..so boleh pakai selipar, dan utk tak bg kaki sejuk, boleh pakai socks jugak.

pouches yg ni siap ada print nama2 random (may be bahasa Turki)..yg ni collab dgn Unesco so design pouchnya cantik..tempat2 bersejarah yg fampus di seluruh dunia yg diiktiraf oleh unesco

2 kaler ni...light brown/mcm nude/cream dan satu lg dark brown...isi kat dlm tu ikut kaler pouch

yg items kat dlm pouch yg dark brown tu

ada label/tag unesco

zippernya memang ada engraving turkish airlines..so far, dh 2x MZ naik TA ni, ie thn 2024 utk ke london dan may ari tu utk ke amsterdam.

moga2 ada rezeki utk kami travel via Turkish Airlines again early next year insya Allah

salam hari selasa uolls

MZ slow sikit BW minggu ni sbb byk keje urgent yg pending ni...dan hari ni MZ ada kelas 5 jam

Leaving on a jetplane

Yang termanis 2025

Countries that I have travelled so far

entry pagi tadi ada sebut pasal London kan (Cath Kidston)..so entry ni sambungan psl London lah..ie travel thingy..

terjumpa gambar ni kat FB rasanya...so tepek sini..ni must visit spots in London, if naik hop on hop off bus, memang senang nak cover almost all places dlm gmbr ni

Anyway, MZ bukannya frequent traveller tapi bersyukur sgt2 sbb Tuhan memberi rezeki utk menjejakkan kaki kat some of the countries...

moga2 tercapai semua my travel wishlist, aamiin

uolls ada travel wish list ker...

Passport Malaysia

dh few days viral pasal latest ranking passport msia...now ke3 terbaik di dunia! dari aspek boleh travel masuk ke negara2 luar tanpa visa!!

kaki2 travel sure sukaaa dgn berita ni!

marilah kita travel!!!

hehheheh marilah kita gigih menabung agar akaun bank kita sama kuat dgn ranking passport ;) (ni MZ ss from thread)

have a nice day uolls!

Hobi kreatif

hari tu MZ ada ternampak kat thread ie chat/discussion psl travel ie souvenir or apa2 brg travel yg disimpan as memoir..

mainstream, fridge magnet, keychain, mugs, snowglobe etc

and then, many travellers suka jugak simpan tiket flights/boarding passes sebagai kenangan...especially those yg tak kerap sgt travel so kuantiti tiket utk disimpan tu masih manageable (kalau travel byk2 dlm setahun, jd berlambak2 pulak tiket flightnya! then dah tak nampak rare or exclusive sgt :p)

ni MZ ternampak ada org share...dia siapkan framekan boarding pass nya!!

MZ pun ada simpan jugak all these boarding passes sbb yelah, tak byk mana pun travel...so tak byk sgt koleksi, MZ simpan dalam file clear folder ajer!kira part of kenangan manis lah bila travel abroad.

just sharing a random quote (related dgn travel jugak)

salam jumaat almubarak

Ternampak quotes kat dinding..

...washroom kat KLIA2..

hari rabu (9/7/25) MZ drive ke KLIA2 utk fetch zharfan yg baru balik dari kampung..

so sambil menunggu (flight delay sejam plakkk), MZ menyinggah masuk toilet washroom..dan tertarik dgn quotes kat dinding dan kat pintu toilet.

life is a journey. make the best of it. i love this quote!!

adoyai...MZ rindu nak travel ni tapi poket belum mengizinkan

happy sunday uolls!

ari ni MZ ada kelas 9-11 am then nak gi attend wedding anak my colleague, kat dlm KL.

Travelling abroad again

seminggu lps raya haji, MZ will be travelling again, this time bukan utk family holiday tapi for work trip (menyertai small delegates with my boss and my colleague). so MZ tak bwklah my boys etc wpun trip tu cover bilik hotel (tak pyh share). diaorg tak delah nak ikut pun hahah my zharfan kata, kalau mama pergi work trip tokyo, dia wajiblah nak ikut hahhhaa

location wise, tak jauh pun, negara ASEAN ajerrr. jauh berjalan luas pemandangan gitu. Alhamdulillah.

anyway, AirAsia dh bagi notis suruh buat online check-in (seawal 14 days sblm actual date to fly), cuma MZ lom lagi lah nak click2 check-in tu. dan duit pun lom tukar lagi kat money changer, Insya Allah lps abih cuti raya nanti, boleh pulun lah travel preparation.

have a nice day uolls!

semua orang balik kampung kerrr for raya eidul adha?

Kenapa pergi Mid Valley

hari ni, seawal pagi dah turun hujan kat area my house ni (Gombak), tp tak lebatlah, ala2 drizzling gitu..

setel breakfast (at home), MZ and 3 boys keluar pergi Mid Valley...ada important mission...

plan konon2 nak target sampai kat Mid Valley mega mall tu seawal 10 am, tp plan lari sikit...around 10.30 baru sampai kat sana..

lps setel parking kat Boulevard (block H), kami terus menapak menuju ke sini...as expected...tak pernah tak crowded laaaaa...yg tgh q tu majority chinese jer...semua pun nak gi holiday abroad ler tuuuu

gigih MZ beratur...dlm setengah jam jugak lah, syukur, tak lama sgt compared last year masa MZ dtg sini, beratur sejam lebih (sblm fly gi UK sept 2024)

MZ tukar duit kat money changer nama Spectrum Forex Sdn Bhd, rate paling ok compared to few other money changer yg lain sebelah menyebelah jer..dan, matawang yg MZ nak tukar tu semua tak de stok laaa kat money changer selain kat Spectrum ni..

so by 11.15 am setel semua urusan tukar duit...alhamdulillah

salam hari ahad uolls!!

happy sunday.

One for me, one for him

yg pastinya, pink tu utk MZ laaa..kalau boleh semua benda nak pink kaler ;)

despite this quotes, anyway, it's about setting life's priorities jugak..kena ada portion utk disimpan jugak sbb kita tak tahu kita ni Tuhan bagi hidup berapa lama lagi...kalau MZ direzekikan folo genetic my mom, panjang umur Insya Allah...my mom tahun ni masuk 83 y.o., dulu arwah atuk (ayah my mom) meninggal masa umur 90s (rasanya 95 y.o or 97 y.o. gitu--sakit tua)

MZ sbg golongan marhain, harta pun limited ajer so pandailah2 rancang kan...kalau minat travel, allocate some portion utk travel dan apa2 jua yg diminati lah..

utk MZ..selain travel--priorities 2025 ni nak kena settlekan school annual fees razeen dan ariff (both sekolah swasta, annual fees around RM1800 for both of them) dan jugak kena beli buku2 (biasanya RM300+ each), then kena allocate budget utk baju raya satu famili laaa...bln puasa start 1 mac kan..so biasanya kami akan beli bj raya sblm masuk bln ramadhan..

moga kita semua sentiasa dimurahkan rezeki dari Nya..aamiin

happy sunday uolls!
