Merhaba: From Istanbul with love...

Merhaba!!!

Merhaba from Istanbul...with love..that's important.Humma2.

First thing first, let me enlighten you all with a little bit of info on Istanbul.
Byzantine or Constantinople and know widely known as Istanbul is the largest city in Turkey,with a population of 12.6 million.What is so special about Istanbul would be its location.Istanbul is located in the north-west Marmara Region of Turkey. It encloses the southern Bosporus which places the city on two continents—the western portion of Istanbul is in Europe, while the eastern portion is in Asia. The city has also been nicknamed "The City on Seven Hills" because the historic peninsula, the oldest part of the city, was built on seven hills (just like Rome), each of which bears a historic mosque.How cool is that?(source from Wikipedia)

We( My parents,my brother(Amin),my sister(Zalikha) and myself) departed from KLIA on the 19th of December at 0030 hour Malaysian time and arrived in Istanbul on the same day at around 0555 Istanbul time.The journey took us about 10 hrs 47 minutes.The temperature reported was 2 degree celcius..woh2..sejuk.Surprisingly funny was when I was approached by a teenage girl asking me "Are you Nabil Aizat?"."Yeah",I answered."I read your blog"she replied.I didn't know what to say, so I just replied "Seriously,thank you".That was it.A short conversation between the two of us.She was rushing to the baggage collection carousel and I was rushing to the toilet.Hehe.

Once we've done collecting our baggage, we headed to the arrival exit door.We were greeted by the hotel driver and taken to our hotel, Fehmibey hotel.I must say that I'm fully satisfied with the facilities in this hotel.The decorations at the lobby are amazing.Not forgetting the available wifi service(sngt penting) and breakfast provided(sngt sedap).Yeah gemoe dah..

The best part about the Fehmibey Hotel is that it is located in the centre of old city, Sultanahmet-Istanbul.
This hotel is strategically located within two minutes walk to the most important Ottoman & Byzantine monuments of Turkey such as St. Sophia, Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace, Hippodrome, Basilica Cistern and not more than ten minutes to The Grand Bazaar.

This post will be about the activities that went on in the first three days.All will be explained through the captions below the pictures...Enjoy!!!

Till next post...Allaha ismarladik...

Sediakan sarung tangan sebelum salji turun

ChecklIst and esSntial tips on whaT are the importAnt thiNgs to do Before yoU go on a hoLiday.Got the read-between-the-lines kind of trick?No wait.I think it's more like read the obvious bold letter kind of thing..yeah...

First thing first, prepare a trip checklist to ensure that you'll remember the important things to do and to bring along.Valid Passport for at least 6 months. Credit/Debit cards. Airline tickets.Health Documentation. Insurance. Traveler’s checks. Guide books. Emergency Information.Personal Identification.Anything that you'll be needing at the place of destination. Yeah..Importante.

Trip planning is vital.The process includes everything from buying your plane tickets to packing to making reservations at your destination. Another important thing on trip planning is to know what season it is in the country you are going to so that you’ll be able to confirm what clothes to bring.But2 pack your stuff wisely...You don't have to bring your teddy bear or your favourite pillow along.That will just give you an extra baggage.

Even though you have credit cards, it’s a good idea to carry some of the local country’s currency with you.This is to ensure that you don’t have to go in search of an ATM when you arrive for cab fares and shopping at the market.

Find out about the country you'll be visiting, at least get to know a lil bit about what the country has to offer...Know a bit on their traditions, customs & learn the essential vocabulary in their language.This will definitely make it easier for yourself at the Airport, Hotels, Restaurants etc.

Before heading to the airport to catch your flight, make sure you’ve taken care of everything on your trip planning list.Double check before leaving the house that you have all necessary essentials to travel with.Your passport, Identification Card, Driver Licence and if you're depending on medication, make sure you have enough of it with you.

Please don't forget to bring the most important gadget on a holiday..Your camera of course!!!!You'll surely want to keep the pictures of your holiday as remembrance, don't you?
Remember to charge the battery of your camera, clear & reformat your memory card and bring extra batteries if you have any.

Those are some of the tips I can think of right now....Hopefully they'll be of some help to all of you..I have to go now...Im going off for a holiday with my family.....

Tschuess...Au Revoir...Tschau...
Hoşçakal!!!

Know what you're wearing from A to Z..

What has made Nabeyl become so enthusiastic on writing about this post entitled "Know what you're wearing from A to Z".

Was it because of the plenty of free time he has at home doing nothing besides going online everyday...or because he is so into fashion that he thinks engineering should only come second...or because he is so mesmerized with the awesome specs on his new laptop that he couldn't get enough of them and would write lengthy post just to explore everything..or he doesn't want his blog to be focusing on just certain themes like college life, shopping, food and music but instead being an all-rounder blog, able to enlighten readers on any topics without any boundaries...Or he just being so humbly wants to share the knowledge that he has gained from reading a newspaper(Malaysian Today) article entitled "In the Name of Style".I think its a lil bit of this...a lil bit of that kind of thing.Humma2.

You're walking in a mall when suddenly something caught your attention.Omg a cute dress or Omg hawt stuff! or Omg I seriously need to have that in my closet or Omg omg omg *speechless*.What you've found may be sexy, hot, cool and fashionable but do you know what it is called?A ruching dress?A romper?A pair of jorts?A unitards?Uni...uni..what?
