Review: Ruijia Collagen

Assalamualaikum 💗

Entering 30’s by next year definitely a big deal for someone like me! So, I made preparation to ensure that I’m well equipped with being 30s. (macam nak berperang kan?😜)

The first thing that I need to do is to consume collagen. Heard by many that consuming collagen definitely help with your skin. 

For everyone yang wonder.. What is collagen?

Collagen is a fibrous, supportive protein. It is found in bone, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, and skin. It helps skin cells adhere to one another and also gives the skin strength and elasticity. Collagen production decreases with age, contributing to skin wrinkling and sagging.

So yeah, semakin berumur kulit wajah semakin kendur......

I made a google search is it possible to regrow/ replenish the collagen in any possible way, and I dapat jawapan ni:

Collagen can help to reverse signs of skin aging by boosting elasticity in the skin. Drinking collagen powder can also help repair damaged skin and scarring, which seniors are more prone to than younger individuals.

Basically, it helps to improve lah. Takkan buat you jadi muda 10 tahun, but at least it helps. Oki?

Who knows I got this opportunity from 100 comments to try out this Ruijia collagen! 🙆

All I  owe them is an honest review after I consumed it. I guess it comes at the right time kan?

It claims that it will make you look good from inside out and love yourself better. Each sachet contains 3500 mg, and it comes in 30 sachets in one box. It cost you for RM 230/ box. It contains natural ingredients of Rose Extract Polyphenols and collagen powder. For each sachet, it contains 13.2 calories only. I guess, definitely score for someone like me hehe. As compared to foods, this supplement comes in handy for a working woman like me. The small sachet makes it easy to be store inside the handbag and eat it on the go. Best kan?

Ada banyak cara to eat this collagen. Samada dengan salad, sup, ataupun dengan air. But for me, I pilih to have it with my preferred beverage. I made a green tea, add in the collagen and drink it together 😉

This is how the collagen look like

This is before the collagen completely dissolved in the water

My review: I didn't really fancy the smell but I think its the collagen smell. Okay la as this is for my own good.. I just give it a go without complaint hehe. Since I guna green tea to dilute my collagen, I need to always make sure the temperature didn't exceed 50 degrees! Sebab kalau high temperature it will change the collagen function. Oh ya, satu lagi i suka sebab packaging dia kecik je, so easy to bring anywhere. Plus if u are in hurry you can just take it directly from the sachet.

After consuming a few sachets, I can see a few minor changes to my skin! Which I like hehe. It might be still too early to judge. Can’t wait to see the whole changes after consuming all 30 sachets. 

You can see a lot of other reviewers for different kind of products here oki: https://100comments.com/

p/s: If you considering to buy collagen for your daily use, you can put this into your list oki! 

JJCM Melaka: Muara Sungai Duyung

Assalamualaikum 💗

Early last month, we went to Melaka.. This time around was with my in-laws. Melaka is one of the state yang kami laki bini terpaling suka nak visit. Setiap kali datang we tried to escape the hectic weekend traffic. Maka kali ni, kami datang on Thursday and Friday! Memang best lah cite dieeeee. Jalan tak jem langsung dan kitorang pi anywhere smooth je. Siap boleh parking dekat attraction area hehe.

Oh by the way, I ada pi few places yang best for this visit. For this entry, I nak share tempat yang kami makan on the first night when we arrived. Masa ni we were in a thorn in between the three choices. But in the end, we choose this place. 

Was it worth it? 

Anyway.. We should come here as early as we can for dins. Tapi sebab semua masih kenyang, lepas maghrib baru bertolak datang sini. Result dia……. Menyesal. Haha. Ramai gila ya orang. Siap kena beratur dekat luar kedai. Kedai ni dah la memang besaq tau. Imagine lah it was full house that night. Phew. Husband I bukan kaki menunggu, so he hinted me to ate dinner somewhere else. Being me, im not someone who easily give up. Tambah lagi soal makanan. Makanya I said I nak jugak makan sini eventho ramai :p

Tunggu giliran nak dapatkan meja, kedai mainan dekat tepi ni berhantu ok.. Tengok bawah i cerita.

Icha is not someone yang akan buat perangai sebab mainan. tah apa jadi, that night merambu ayaq mata sebab nak jugak beli mainan dekat sini. Adoi. Ni baru nak mula drama. Mata dah start berkaca. So icha ke ibu yang menang?

SOP

Masa ni masih PKPP in Malaysia, one week after terus few states in Malaysia kena PKPB balik. Kedai ni pun patuh SOP, siap ada scanner for temperature and QR code. 

After few minutes beratur, dapat seat. Kedai ni system layan diri ya. Kena beratur untuk pilih seafood.

These are among the menus yang boleh request

--- and this is the price list. Harga berubah ya ikut hari.

Here is our menu!

Ikan kembung RM 9.10/ Hat paling lambat sampai. Di sebabkan i paling lambat start makan, I la kena habiskan lauk ni hehe. Nasib sedap. ikan dia manis betui.

Ikan pari RM 21.00/ Ikan pari sedap. Sambal salut ikan was quite nice. Ikan pari ni takda bau pelik. Isi dia sedap!

Sepahat RM 12.00/ I pernah makan masa zaman matriks. It was 10 years ago. Haha. i still remember that i dont quite fancy the taste but that night i kena habiskan everything sebab everyone else also tak suka 😅

Sayur kangkong belacan RM 6.00/ this one was worth it. Pls la order 2 pinggan. Sepinggan je tak cukup. Sekian.

Sotong goreng tepung RM 24.00/ Ini adalah bintang malam tu. Sedap ya. Icha pun suka. Banyak makan. Tapi lagi sedap sotong celup tepung bestari. eh 😜

Nasi RM 1.20 / pinggan. 

OUR EXPERIENCE:

The taste was okay. Takdelah sedap macam nak gila. Tapi ikan dia fresh! Manissss je isi ikan. Kami tak dapat air asam pun sampai nak habis makan. Bila mintak baru dapat... I guess sebab ramai sangat orang datang. 

The taste was just okay. Manis. For someone hantu pedas like me, tak berapa kick lah hehe.

They cooked everything cepat jugak for us. I rasa lepas dah pilih semua makanan it took about 15 mins before the foods arrived our table. Okay lah kan? Harga makanan pun quite okay. For all the foods above, caj masak dia RM 3.50 je in total. Untuk 6 dewasa with 1 kid, it cost us RM 98.80 with 6% service tax 😊

Oh jap I lupa. I ada satu cerita.

Part ni paling kelakar eh. Ada orang randomly letak kacang atas meja. My FIL terus makan kacang tu sebab dia ingat kudap kudap owner kedai bagi sebab menunggu. Tapi bitter truth dia, pinggan kecik tu sebenarnya kena bayar k! hahahaha. I dah agakkk dah kena bayar. Bila I terbalikkan mangkuk kacang tu I nampak selotepe tulis RM 2. Bijak dorng lekat harga bawah mangkuk gitu. 

Tak teringat nak ambik gambar that ‘precious kacang”. Nanti jangan terkejut pulak bila dalam resit ada terselit kacang rm2 dalam tu 😆

Busan: Mugunghwa Train experience

Assalamualaikum, hi guys! 💗

I received a few inquiries on my social media yang interested to know about my experience naik train to and from Busan. So here I am! Lemme share a bit of our experience with you guys. Who knows it might be helpful later on 😊

Sebenarnya nak pergi Busan ada 2 option by train which are KTX and Mugunghwa.

Mugunghwa ~ 6 hours (140 km/h) / KTX ~ 2 hours 15 minutes (305 km/h)

For this entri I will share on Mugunghwa train oki. First thing first... Mugunghwa train tu apa?

The Mugunghwa-oo is a class of train operated by Korail, main railway operator of South Korea. Mugunghwa trains are Korail's slowest tier of trains stopping at a number of towns and villages, and operating over a number of lines that are not served by other trains. Mugunghwa train will stop at each station. That is the reason why it took about 6 hours to reach Busan. 

Iya Benerrrr, lama sungguh. Tapi kalau u naik ktx, dia akan straight sampai Busan. From here you can make your decision which one you prefer most. We contemplate to waste our precious 6 hours in the train, but I can say that our decision was worth it. Tapi kalau next time pi Busan, KTX will be our choice! Hahahah.

Sebelum gerak ke Seoul station (tempat nak naik mugunghwa train to busan), kitorang refer to the online schedule bila train akan depart. I think it depart at around 9 am in the morning. So, we confidently arrived the station at 8 am. TANPA BELI TIKET LAGI YA. We bought our tixs on the spot which was nearly a big mistake sebab tix ngam ngam soi tinggal for us as we choose the one departs at 9 am. Phew.  Dah la beratur lama jugak at the ticket counter. Nasib rezeki kami, dapat beli tiket terakhir available to depart to Busan at our desired depart time. 

Nah a few of the station photos. Definitely can feel the train to Busan vibe! 😂

Sebelum turun, sempat singgah kedai kegemaran. Beli bfast since we tak sempat bfast at the hotel. Ni wajib!

Ni adik I suka betui. She said sedap.

Us Infront of the train!

We waited there dalam 10 minutes je. Kitorang dapat dekat free seated koc since this was the only option left. This koc takda numbering system. Totally based on first come first serve basis. 

By the time train depart, koc dah penuh gila dengan orang. Siap ada yang duduk atas lantai train. Tapi kejap je ramai orang, as the train move towards Busan, the people started to lessen.

Us dalam train

Koc kami duduk ni siap ada tempat makan menghadap luar

Vending machine yang never ending orang guna (kitorang pun sama terpengaruh guna :p). This ahjussi la purposely beli snack bagi icha.

Si kecik yang happy dapat snack from random stranger. Muka macamtu sebab baru bangun tidur haha.  I rasa masa otw to Busan, icha dapat few snacks from different stranger.

Dah tak ramai orang masa ni

Ada tandas (kecik gila ya tak selesaaaaa, if nak guna sila guna as early as the train depart. Kalau idak….. if u know u know 😝 )

Along the way, the scenery was breathtaking mashaAllah. I rasa goosebump sebab its too pretty. Rasa macam mimpi when I can indulge myself with the scenery. Definitely feeling the K Drama vibe instantly hehe :’)

----- and Yay da sampai busan! Hello Busan unnie!

We straight away bought the return tickets sebelum keluar from the station. Masa ni nak request for forward seat, but orang dekat counter tak faham. So kitorng memang gamble jela beli haha. Nasib dapat betul forward seat! Kalau tak pening lah 6 jam dalam train :’P

Our experiences were wonderful. Despite the time taken, everything else was worth it. Pst sakit belakang sket lah sebab lama sangat :p

p/s: the tickets cost us 28 600KRW ~ RM 100 ± for each person. I rasa masa ni icha tak payah bayar, so 3 adults RM 300 for one-way tickets. 

Mula mula we opt for KTX, but the price difference was too big. For one way, it cost us nearly 60,000 W ~ RM210. The return tixs will be RM 400 + / pax. We already opt for this masa mula mula plan, tapi bila fikirkan we can save it for something else... terus we chose Mugunghwa.

Busan: Jagalchi market

Assalamualaikum 💗

This will be my last post on places yang sempat I cover dekat Busan. Ingat tak I cakap on my last entry here yang I got something up in my sleeve? So here we go.. I akan revealed apooo yang I buat on the very last minute before we board the train. Hehe.

MY PLANNED WAS: WE MUST GO TO JAGALCHI MARKET BY HOOK OR BY CROOK

With the very limited time remained I asked everyone (read: paksa 😜) to join me EVENTHO WE WERE IN RUSHED AT THAT MOMENT. I keluarkan segala hujah yang I boleh fikir untuk buat semua pergi jugak jagalchi market haha. Adik I kata jagalchi dekat je dengan Busan station. Which this was the station untuk naik train balik Seoul. Makanyaaaa, I was very tempted to came here before we leave.

Masa ni dalam kepala I fikir MAKANAN JE.

I tak fikir langsung tiket burn sebab terlambat ke, sesat masa nak cari location ke. NONE. GILA BETUI BILA I FIKIR BALIK! 😆Bayangkan lah kalau kitorang tertinggal train, berapa ratus lagi melayang for each tixs! Oh well, maisarah memang sentiasa tak fikir long term eh, all I knew was instant happiness! Gittew ayat penyelamat diri.

From Gamcheon culture village, naik bas turun bawah before we take the subway to reach here. Every few minutes mesti akan tengok jam whether we can make it or not. Berlari oki semata mata nak jugak sampai sini.

We reached here without hiccups! #hidupnavermaps #functionteroxx

Lega betui i. Settle one part.

The other one was nak pergi mana eh?

Which place paling sedap to eat their seafood? 

I punya aim cuma nak pojang grilled fish with loadsss of kimchi untuk makan lunch atas train nanti. Nampak je kedai pertama, tengok harga affordable terus pojang 2 set! Tak google pun whether this place okay ke tak. Yakin kan? 😅

Nak jadi cerita, owner kedai tak reti English at all eh. I pulak cuma tahu few hangul words to converse with them. I use pojang sambil tunjuk menu. Terus they faham and start to make my order. Masa nak order ni punyalah gabra sebab kejar masa sangat. 

I asyik ulang “ppali juseyo ahjussiiiii” (cepat sikit please, pakcik)

But still kena tunggu dalam 15 mins sebab they grilled it on the spot. Macam cacing kepanasan kitorang tunggu makanan siap (ke I je macam cacing masatu? 😂).  Di sebabkan I takleh duduk diam sebab nervous, I pi pojang snack untuk makan dalam train. 

This one! Famous ya, everywhere ada. I beli custard and red bean filling. Makan panas panas, mashaAllah. Sedap sungguh. 10 pcs/ 50000 won tak silap.

Dekat stall ni pun kena menunggu jugak sebab orang sebelum I order kemain banyakkkk. Kembali berdebar masa ni sebab kalau grilled fish dah siap, I masih sibuk membeli snack mesti I kena jelingan manja dengan laki I hahahahahahha. Nasib snack I siap dulu! Phew.

This is the short video depan kedai ni.

Nah, they show off their fresh octopus and crab. Drools tak?

Dah siap pojang and bayar, terus berlari ke Busan station untuk kejar train! Sempat lagi beli persimmon dekat area subway. Sebab kalut, kena game lah sis. Dapat persimmon hat ranum siap pecah dah weh. Pecah hatiku melihatnya~~~

Naik train ngam ngam duduk terus train bergerak! Tergamam kejap masani. Dok fikir kalau terlewat beberapa minit tadi macam mana gaya la eh? Nasib sempat :p

Anyway, these were the dishes yang kemain semangat nak pergi jugakkkk that market to pojang.

Makan panas panas. Fuh sedap gila ya. Ikan tu manis betui. Tengok icha makan, asyikkk banget ya.

Nasi habis, tapi ikan tak habis habis sebab banyak sangat. Padahal beli 2 set jeee.

Nah kimchi buat tatapan! I mintak extra kimchi from the owner. 

Nasib dia faham :p Sedap sungguh rasa kimchi ni! I rasa kimchi tersedap I makan both dekat Busan.

The view while eating, mashaAllah

Lepas makan, solat dalam train and terus lena sampai Seoul. Jauh oki. 6 hours. Luckily we got a seat this time around.

A very good moment to be remembered. Annyeong Busan!

Busan: Gamcheon Cultural village

Assalamualaikum 💗

So today I nak continue with Busan story. 

This time, lesgo to Gamcheon Cultural village! Gittew. Macam pengembaraan masa pulak eh nak masuk mesin masa ramai ramai hehe. We came here after Oryukdo Skywalk. We need to change bus masa dekat area Busan station. 

Charge battery sat si kecik ni

Sementara tunggu new bus we bought this drink since everyone felt dizzy due to the bus ride. Sedap! It cost us around 3500 won je hehe.

By the way.. I rasa kitorang sampai tempat ni takdela lambat sangat but sadly we made a mistake.

Kami naik bas untuk pergi this village but unknowingly (boleh ke guna term ni bila ko memang sedar masa turun bas??? Hahaha) ----- kitorang turun bas sebelum sampai destinasi -.- Masa turun tu driver bas ni dok cakap korea dengan kitorang, tapi sepatah habuk dok pahe. and everyone was looking at us weirdly. Never knew it was actually the signal to “woi belum sampai destinasi lah! 😆”

…..and as a result

WE WALK FOR MORE THAN ½ hour.

Phew.

Peluh jangan cakaplah even cuaca masa tu sejuk. Dengan kena tolak stroller sebab icha dok lena. Steep stairs and kawasan dia berbukit along the way. 

Boleh ke nak sedapkan hati dengan: 

“We got to enjoy the view!"

"Cantik sangat the surrounding! "

"We didn’t regret our mistake!”

Contoh view :p

Hahahahha okay la bolehla. Hang sendiri yang pi kan mana orang lain nak tau apa hang rasa 😜

Bila dah sampai atas, ada one place where you can collect the map that shows the overall view of the village.

We were starstruck with the building and view. Cantik sangat.. 

These are some of the photos from the village yang sempat kitorang snap gambar.

Entrance to the cultural village

Menarik kan? Atas bumbung ada this kind of deco

One for the memory!

One of the cultural village alley

This one was the best hotteok yang kitorang pernah makan sepanjang dekat korea. mashaAllah seriously it was sooo good! Balik seoul pun tak dapat dah hotteok sesedap ni

And one cotton candy for icha. 

Bersungguh tak si kecik ni makan? 

Tempat ni besar tau. But I think we managed to cover not even half of the village. Sebab we made another mistake!!!! 😂

Masa snap gambar ni dah mula grumpy. Contemplate whether to stay or leave sebab dah 1/2 jam beratur.

Masih grumpy - 45 mins inline

The view, masa tengah tunggu turn

Phone perspective! hehe

and..... this. Ni mistake tu. 

Berbaloi tak???

Dah tahu ramai orang but still nak juga tangkap gambar dekat sini. Dengan motto, kita datang jauh jauh so we gotta took picture here! Begitulah. Habis nearly sejam dekat sini. Settle tangkap gambar berkejaran lari cari bas untuk balik Seoul by train. Masa ni memang kena balik terus tau sebab our train will depart in less than 2 hour/ 1 hour + macamtu. Plus jauhhh from this attraction to the busan station.

Tapi..

Maisarah kan.

Always something up her sleeve (hubs knows me best lah, whenever I senyap tiba tiba mesti dia dah berdebar he said hahaha). Nak tahu apa nanti I share on next entri! :p 

Kitorang naik bas turun. Speechless betul masa naik bas sebab dok terbayang jauh betui kitorang berjalan masa nak naik. By bus it took about 5 minutes jeeeee.  By the way jalan dia sempit gila ya but I guess diorang dah biasa with the road so the driver bawak laju betui. Kitorang dalam bas yang dok terjegil jegil bijik mata everytime lalu corner 😅

If you planned to come here, make sure you have enough time oki. Sebab tempatnya cantik.. so, you need to enjoy the scenery and building. Sadly, we couldn’t do it that day due to the time constraint.
