Assalamualaikum and good evening all! It's been so long since my last post right? Well, A LOT has happened. Anyway, a little bit of update of my life, last September I started my first semester as a masters student in a local university, and it was...not so awesome btw. I suffered countless moments of giving up and drop out of school for the first 6 weeks of my study there.  The reason is because I was horrified and shocked with the new place and situation. I mean, okay my friends are 80% I'd say are working people, anddd they are obviously older than me. But I don't really mind that. What drove me crazy was that okay, I pursued my masters study in a different field from my first degree. Last time my degree was in English for International Communication, and this time around I took Masters in Education Guidance & Counselling.  Okay...many people asked me why I didn't pursue my masters in TESL (majority of my seniors and juniors took this). Well, it's beca...

Hi peeps! Tonight I feel like talking about Asahikawa!!! So excited!!!! The first city we stopped by in Hokkaido and its my second favourite city in Hokkaido (there're only 3 cities in total haha). So after we touched down, we went straight to the hotel, Hotel Route Inn Asahikawa. The hotel was superb I tell you! It was my first time experiencing a Japanese hotel, and this one, totally nailed it! This was how our room looked like What I love about Japanese hotels is that they took care of your necessities really well. When I say they take care of you, I'm serious. No joke. You just need to come and bring your daily clothes and that's all. They provide you other necessities such as toiletries; toothbrush, toothpaste, razor, facial wash, shampoo, conditioner, you name it! They even provide pajama can you imagine that! The pajama is the robe one but who cares! It's a freakin Japanese sleeping robe!  They will also give you a card to enter the ons...

Those are for Deputy Deans and KLM official cars. No, don't park here! 2. Class Blocks There are 4 blocks in total with 2 levels. There are 2 types of classrooms.

Here goes, the long awaited, and the most requested post ever! In this post, I will share about what I did throughout my 4 years of degree taking ENCOM (2014-2018). However, the comments and review regarding the subjects may differ from what other people thought because my comments are made based on my understanding and judgment.  Without further ado, here goes! As you guys might know already by now, ENCOM is an English course that consists of 2  ½  elements; Communication, Linguistics and a half of Management. If you think ENCOM is the same as TESL or BENL (Bachelor in English Language and Literature), hmmmm think again haha! Our subjects are mixtures of communication and linguistics . Later in my next post I'll list down the subjects yeah. Another thing about this course is that, we are focused at mainly 2 things:  1) Being able to communicate well (presentation in class or outside class) and   2) Ability to write academically (write ...

Moving on, what captured my attention the most was the view. The view of Hokkaido from above was superb, and I could not stop myself from recording and capturing the view until we landed!  The view was mostly white because the land was covered with snow, but there were some drying trees still available. We could see mountains from up there (which I bet it was Mt. Fuji) because the mountain was quite far from where we flew at that time. In conclusion, I was completely stunned by the spectacular different views! (((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o))) Our flight from Malaysia was at 11.30pm and we arrived New Chitose Airport at around 6.50am the next day. When we arrived, the weather was shocking -16 ° c! Luckily we brought our jacket inside our hand carry bag and wore our long johns from Malaysia, or else we would be freezing.  After claiming our luggages, we went to JR Hokkaido counter to validate our JR Hokkaido Rail pass. One thing in Japan, you will be in a rush ...
