Bandung Day 3 Part 1 : Tangkuban Perahu

Day 3 program is to spent the whole day sight seeing.

The first spot is Tangkuban Perahu which has its own history. It tooks us 45 minutes to an hour journey to reach there. It was very much like our own Cameron Highlands minus the crater of course.

A whole new experience for us. The weather was just nice. Not so cold. But when the wind blew, it was quite cold but we still manage it ^_^ It was an awesome view seeing a dormant volcano (for the time being) with our own eyes and sulfur smells since Malaysia had none. Thank God for that Malaysia is such a blessed country.

Poser of course. An extremely amazing view up above...

This was taken upper dock and we need to walk down a bit.

The view from where we came down

My awesome trip partners ^_^

Btw, the price ticket approximately only RM15 per person per entry.

The trip won't be complete without this photo.

A place to remember for the rest of my life. Breathtaking view. Nice weather.

Minus the swarming sellers ^_^

Late Lunch Without Daddy

Craving for our very own local nasi after 5 days in Bandung so head to the nearest restaurant to buy this Nasi Pattaya for today's late lunch cum dinner.


My bodyguard.


Spending the weekend with these two since Daddy is back to hometown for election.

Bandung Day 2 : Dinner @ Food Court Festival Link

We ran to Festival City Link for dinner right after coming back from Pasar Baru. The food here seems okay as what we have tasted last night.

KFC Indonesia. Don't know what does JAGO means. Sedap @ crunchy nyer ayam maybe ^_^ We had our very own KFC in Malaysia. Not going to waste my tummy and tasted it here.

One of the menu. Giggled reading sup buntut! Aiyo! What's so delicious with butt? Actually it was sup ekor. They called it buntut here.

My dinner menu. Tadaaaaa. Thank God it tastes so good!

Last but not least, trying their sate that looks delicious but it wasn't at all. Malaysian ones tastes superb.

Day 2 and we already missed Malaysian food.

Bandung Day 2 : Lunch @ Pasar Baru

We were really starving after climbing level by level....shop by shop with lots of barang in hand. Things are so heavy yet we still didn't stop shopping. So head up to the food court. Once we arrived, quite a few came around to racun us to eat at their shop. The people here are so desperate to find money. Everywhere you go, the tailed you until you buy what they are selling. Quite annoying. Really blessed to be Malaysian.

Since we're starving and also so tired carrying so many things in hand, I just sit whenever there is a spot without thinking much. Came this menu without giving us the chance to think. To free the annoying aura, we just place an order.

Sadly, the food taste so bad. Barely eat, just paid and continue shopping.

The typical view in Bandung. Captured on the way back to the hotel.

Tired. Hungry.

Bandung Day 2 : Pasar Baru

We took a cab from Pop Hotel to Pasar Baru for RM15 for three of us. Me, Kak Norsiah & Kak Ros. Be careful the taxi driver might charged you more if you are not really familiar with the cab fees. As for us, we did asked the hotel receptionist how much is the fees from the hotel.

To get the cab you'll need to walk through the Festival City Mall and took one outside the Festival City Mall which is in front of J Co Donuts. Ohhh, we did't even get the chance to taste the true J CO from Indonesia!

The journey was approximately 15-20 minutes depends on the traffic condition but it was not that far from our hotel.

Upon arriving, we were tailed by a guard saying shops are not opened yet and showed us a fes shops that are opened at the ground floor. Yep it was too early. We arrived before 10 a.m being so excited since they said you'll get special price if come early. Plus to avoid the crowd.

The very first stop was this telekung shop which was near the 2nd floor escalator. The price is not that cheap. It depends on the material. I bought the purple one, made from silk for RM100 plus!

Then to this second shop next to the telekung shop. The colors and patterns really caught my eyes. The sellers which tag along told me that this shop is so famous. Better choose and buy early before the crowd comes in but I didn't buy it thought he was lying. Minutes later, it was full of crowd! Manage to buy a few from here. Super duper cheap I must say!

Heaven for shoppers! Feels like wanna take home the whole Pasar Baru!

Bought the pink one for my friend for RM80 plus.

Catch of the day. Spent almost 3 million rupiah juz on the day 1 shopping! Bankruptcy!!!

Bandung Day 2 : Breakfast @ Pop Hotel

With the partner in crime aka roomate, Wawa early in the morning anxiously waiting to start adventure of the day which is SHOP TIL U DROP!

Our plan today is to spend the day only in Pasar Baru which through my research, it won't be enuff just for a day ^_^

Start the day with breakfast from Pop. A bungkus of nasi which is not really to our liking. Tasteless. Good for health but tasteless. Made from beras perang I think.

Not complaining much since we're really excited to go SHOPPING!

Bandung Day 1

Arrived in Bandung @ 3.00 p.m. local time. A two hour journey from KL.


Check in @ Pop Hotel. Taxi fare from airport to Pop = 50,000 rupiah approximately RM15. Washed up, solat and then off to find lunch cum dinner. Starving since I only had cekodok jagung for breakfast this morning. Thought I will find time to eat somewhere in KL Sentral or LCCT but we were rushing. The bus took off late in order to make sure there's no empty seats (profit oriented of course) and we barely arrived in LCCT on time. Only had Hot & Roll while waiting for the flight.


Our dinner @ Festival Link Food Court. I had Nasi Liwet with Ayam Penyet @ 25,500 rupiah / RM8 and it was really delicious I guarantee you. Despite the weird soup...a plain, sweet soup with a bit of corn and kacang panjang in it. And the meal also comes with tauhu and tempe. The ayam bakar taste superb so do the sambal...lips kicking hot! The rice came in a pot with ikan bilis and cili padi on top of it.

And I was jumping for joy buying their 500ml @ 3,000 rupiah which turns out to be only RM0.30!


After dinner we rushed to find Indonesia's prepaid card in order to contact families in Malaysia and as for me, of course to activate my internet data plan. Can't live without that. How am I going to updates on the go and whatsapp people ^_^

So much of technology junkie...

We bought Simpati pulsa (prepaid) card @ 100,000 rupiah, approximately RM30.

Settled the communication issue and then off to the supermarket to stock off my water supplies.

Thank God that our hotel is attached to the mall, so easy for us to get food and other supplies.

Will review on that one in the next entry...

Stay tuned ^_^

Bandung, Here I Come!!!

Bawa daku pergi...lari2 laju kita lari dari realiti...lalalalaaaaa...so the much awaited day has finally come ^_^

We're going to Bandung!!! Over excited sorry, being first timer ^_^


My trip partners...mommies but I don't really care much as long as we can get along and be happy together...there's no such things as age differences for me. I'm acting as their tour guide...ahaksss!


Check in via phone..use your canggih phone to the max please! Download Air Asia app and easily check in via the app. They'll send you a barcode. Go to the AA booth @ LCCT, tayang your for for the machine to scan and tadaaaa your boarding pass will be printed. As easy as that. Or if you can't check in via phone, just go directly to the check in machine and type all the info the machine want and also after few enter tab, tadaaaa your boarding pass is 'born' ^_^

So simple as ABC...


My luggage weight, 13 kg from the max 15kg that I've purchased...bawak batu ke aper nih?! Well, it's full of express food and mineral water just in case it's hard to get food supply there ^_^ sediakan payung sebelum hujan that is...


Bye2 KL, see you in 5 days...kencangkan buk jgn x kencangkan ^_^

Color Blocking!

The current 'in' thing & my current fav despite the weird blocking look ^_^

Dinner @ Belanga The Gardens, Midvalley

So we were off to Midvalley after work to go to the money changer. The trip is only in 2 days and I haven't got my IDR or Rupiah it is.

Daddy treat me to Belanga for dinner. Being me who is not a heavy eater when it comes to dinner, I just opt for their Ais Campur and Cucur Udang. While daddy of course with his rice, Nasi Kerabu it is.

A kampung menu yet at a pricey price but it taste good.


My Ais Campur @ RM9.90, yummmsssss!!!!


Mission to tukar duit also accomplished...


A millionaire for 5 days ^_^

I wonder whether RM1.5k is enuff...it's shopping heaven ok.

Freak no more, if you are worried about carrying too much money just activate your ATM and credit card for international used during your stay.

Bandung do have Maybank which they named it BII there and CIMB ATM so just activate for international use by going to the ATM machines or call the bank directly.

Happy shopping!

Travel Plug For Bandung Trip

Just got back from my 4 days Intro to IPSAS course and here I am today in the office finishing what ever in hand before I start my one week off. Yeayyyy!!! The time has finally come after 4 months of waiting...wonder how those who wait for a year to fly eh? Am so excited!

Being me am always busy with official duty, there's still things that I haven't got or prepare for this trip. I don't even have the time to go to the money changer yet, today after office maybe.

And there's this thing that keep bothering my mind...universal travel adapter for this trip. From the research that I have done, it seems that they used different plug there and of course I'm panicking! I cannot live without my phone off being a crazy photog maniac ^_^

Did buy one in Low Yatt few weeks ago but it turns out not the one. Ask daddy to find one while I was away attending course but he didn't find it too.



So who I turn to? Of course my friend whom I called Mr. Gadget ^_^

Contact him yesterday to ask where I can get it and being kind of him, he offer to go and buy it for me. Thank you so much, friend. You help me survived for this coming 5 days trip.

May God bless you for your kindness ^_^

Btw, it only costs me RM12...

Happy!

Missing His Beloved Sofa....

Came home today to a gloomy Kiko. He kept meowwing something which he rarely did unless something is wrong such as just got home from cat sitter's house after few days being apart from mummy and daddy.

Today he did it again. He usually does that if he wants new biscuit but today even food doesn't shut him down.

After quite some time I realize maybe it's because of the sofa that we have thrown away today.


Kiko's final bonding with his sofa last night...he seems to understand that we wanna let it go, keep holding to it with such a sad face T____T


The sofa which has become his fav spot where he would rest & climb to every time he wanna mummy to massage him. Plus, it has become his scratching spot. Poor little one...mummy doesn't know it would effect him so much. Like a baby who lost their bantal busuk. Am so sorry dear. Mum and dad thought it was time for us to let it go since it has holes and koyak rabak like a bantal pecah due to your daily scratches. It looks so bad. If we've known that how much you love it, we would not have thrown it away. But it do helps save our tiny home space.




Mum will try to find u another scratching post okay. Til' then, do hold on to mummy. Mummy will always be there for you. Please stop mourning, dear. I can't stand your meowwing since I know it's a sign of u feeling not so comfy...

And now mummy is extra emo...

That's what mum are...

Humble Lunch Menu

After days of heavy eating & gaining weight again of course, settled down with mihun sup & mangga for lunch today.

the soup is too oily but the mango is deli! Sweet despite the not so ripe look ^_^

Manic Monday (A Real One!)

It's Monday and of course it's a manic one as always but today it's a super duper manic one for me. Woke up quite late for work. Rushing in the dark and crash into a hole otw! Used to jump like that always but today it was so bad that it blown two of my tyres away! Costs me RM400!


Ohhh really mad at all those lorries, trucks, bulldozer or what-so-ever tha cause it!



Even lunch at Saba Restaurant for a colleague's farewell doesn't make my day a better one.

T____T


Moral of the story, be careful of all the lubang2 on the road. It may cost you something maybe not now but in the future.


Now, I do keep my eyes wide open to all those lubang for sure.

5S Day...

Finally after months of battling, the day has come. This is my first experience with 5S over 9 years in service and 3 different offices. It's very much annoying I must say and burdening. Yep, it's good to have a clean, clear, organized working environment but when you have so many things to do in your hand at one time, this kinda of thing turns out really annoying and stressful. Everything need to be tagged, organized, no habuk, not many items should be on the table....urghhh!

Very much like a hypocrite...

Enjoy and get the 5S feel!!!

Got to do what you got to do....

Our 1st Domino's!

^_^ funny but true. We only use to Pizza Hut and not others. Today decided to try out this one @ Mon't Kiara. Used to try it years before we were married but it seems not really delicious.

Today though it's a different story. This one is kinda interesting. We can choose 2 different pizzas in one regular pan & the breadstick are really soft & fluffy. Even the pizza itself is fluffier compared to Pizza Hut.

We opt for meat mania & bbq chicken. They didn't charge for service charge so they only serve us with paper plate & cup plus no sauce. Not sure whether it's becoz this branch are majoring in delivery service.

Anyhow, am gonna be back for more for sure 😁

One satisfied & full tummy 😆

Jelly Bunny Shoes

Comfy or not comfy?

Morning Friday!

It's gonna be another busy day at work with 5s...

Lunch @ Chawan, Publika

Had a late lunch today. Daddy was off to his 21km running program this morning and totally flat to go anywhere so we just opt to dine in near to our place which is Publika.

Since I need rice so opt for Chawan for the first time ever! Just looking at their menu makes me so dissapointed. There's not much to choose from and it was really pricey. Not really worth it for me to eat nasi with ikan goreng @ RM13. Plus the place is open air with only fan on and lots of smokers around. Even we changed place, it was totally unbearable esp. in currently hot weather.

Daddy chose its Nasi Kerabu with ikan percik @ RM14.00 while mine was nasi putih with asam pedas ikan tenggiri, telur masin, veggie & fried squids.

The nasi kerabu was not so bad but mine was, feels like wanna throw it away! Really bad mood esp. with the empty stomach. The rice was lembik, the thing that I hate the most. Totally lost appetite.

The bill was RM36.00 for both of us and I'm not coming back for more...

To cool the temper, went to Old town and tried their Peanut Snow Ice @ RM6.90 each. It was quite in a big bowl and it tastes okay...sweet, milky & creamy.

Regretted to not dine in @ Old Town instead. It have more choices compared to that pricey but not satisfying hunger Chawan Restaurant.

Don't mess with a hungry & a picky eater customer ok!
