The memories I had along my way as a dancer.

• the flowers bloomed during my presence in Istanbul. It was such a beautiful sight walking around the garden in front of the Blue Mosque.

• I made friends with the Yahya Kaptan Lisesi students who were my foster sister's schoolmates. We went trekking at 'kar tepe' which means 'snow hill'. It was a snow hill after all where I got to touch real snow for the first time there. I miss these guys so much.

• They are Buket, Duygu and Ezgi. Ezgi is my foster sister. They are all a year younger than I am but I look younger than them because of my size. They treat me like a sister regardless I am new to them. They are very protective towards me. I miss them very much.

• Here we are. Ezgi, Esra and I. Esra is Ezgi's best friend. We took this picture when we were spending time at Ezgi's parents' summer house in Masukiye. I really really love it there. I still remember the breeze, the view. Oh my. It was wonderful. I really really wish to be there again.

• I got really excited when it comes to the snow. It was my first time, by the way. I'll be back during the winter someday.

• Here is the Malaysian delegates with the mayor of Bekirpasa Municipal. We had a great time there because of their first class hospitality.

• My first experience representing Malaysia in Children's Folklore Festival Kocaeli, Turkiye. I had the best ever memories in Turkiye. With my foster family, the friendly Turkish, and the places. Everything and everyone were AWESOME. I cried so hard when I had to go back to Malaysia. I was 17 at that moment. I was supposed to sit for a public examination at the end of the year. Regardless of that, I continued dancing and only stopped a month before the exam. I managed to pass with flying colours and proved myself to the teachers and especially my parents who had been scolding me for not stopping dancing. I did it.

• Turkiye was the starting point of my life as a dancer in the international level. I found out that I enjoy communicating with people of different languages and cultures with which was why I chose TESL at the first place as my carrier. Dancing would always be my ticket socializing, communicating and exploring new culture. Somehow, I believe sharing cultures between the global community would be the best way to unite everyone in harmony. Peace. (^_^)

Kampung Morten - the heart of Malacca

Hey guys. Apa khabar? Well that means how are you in Bahasa Malaysia? :) I've not updated my blog for a couple of weeks and it is a very long time I must say. So, as you can see, I've posted some photos of a traditional Malaysian house. For your information, the kampung house is called as 'Rumah Melaka' - the Malaccan kampung house.

If you watch carefully at the photos, would you believe me if I tell you that the house is a replica. The carpenter who made the replica is a very simple man who is really good at doing the details. I was amazed the first time looking at it and still am amazed looking at the photos. The details you can see at all parts of the house are the exact details you can find in the real house.

If you wish to see the hand made Malaccan kampung house in reality. You can always come to Kampung MORTEN in Melaka. It is a very famous tourist spot and the place has been preserved by the government and the residents for a long time especially after it was renowned as the 'World heritage site' by the UNESCO. You don't have to worry about the people for they are very friendly people and trust me, they will be enlightened by your presence there, in Kampung Morten.
