Jom terbang ke Bandung

Orang kata, perempuan kalau hendak shopping, shopping lah 'till you drop'. Yang bermaksud shopping lah sepuas hati sehingga saat kita tengok bil-bil, kita akan mendapat sakit jantung dan jatuh collapse. Amaigadddd...Itu cuma perumpamaan yang saya cedok dari encik Google. Terima kasih.

I love to travel and i love food. So of course untuk entry ini saya akan sembang banyak tentang perjalanan saya yang biasa-biasa tu. I choose Bandung, Indonesia untuk trip bulan lepas, yang konon-kononnya untuk give myself a break. Eh silap bukan myself actually but ourselves. Yang urus dari tiket flight sampailah hotel semuanya adalah saya kerana saya tanpa tidak sengaja telah melantik diri sendiri untuk menjadi duta tidak rasmi AirAsia. 

We left to Jakarta by the evening flight on the 28th of May from Kuala Lumpur and touched down at the Soekarno Hatta International Airport at 1835pm locals time. Dari airport kami terus ke bandung dengan melalui jalan darat. 

Jakarta is the capital city of the Republic of Indonesia. It's a crowded city, traffic jam everywhere especially during busy hours. Mak aihhh imagine kami tiba di Bandung selepas 5 jam mengharungi perjalanan sesak di Jakarta. Macet sangat (sesak dalam bahasa Indonesia). Kalau rasa diri tu adventurous sangat, maybe boleh cuba ambik public transport seperti train. Sungguh aku menyesal naik mobil. Uwaaaa.....But never mind, at least dalam mobil boleh tidur berdengkur.

Okay, so start dengan hari pertama semasa di Bandung, bapak supir ni dengan baik hati telah membawa kami ke Tengkuban Perahu. Seriously, you can see the great view of an active volcano with lots of local souvenir vendors.
 Tangkuban perahu ni lebih dekat dengan bandar,  just an hour or so by car from the town of Bandung. Important reminder, sila berhati-hati dengan  roadside peddlers di area situ, katakan tidak pada barangan mereka. But if you still want their key chains or whatever lah, kena pandai bargain bargain bargain. Dan saya telah tertipu. Beli key chains dengan magnetic fridge harga dalam 100 ribu. Tidakkkkkkkkkk. Tapi memang tidak rugi untuk datang ke sana sebab view volcano dia sangat impressive. Awwwww!

Kata supir, kalau hendak berpanas-panas selepas melawat Tangkuban Perahu boleh datang ke Objek Wisata air Panas Ciater. Tempat ini sudah sangat popular. Kata supir rugi kalau tidak singgah. Dekat sini ada satu kolam air panas yang boleh sembuhkan penyakit kulit kerana air panas ini banyak mengandungi belerang. Waduh bukan saja belerang malah magnesium, sulphate, chloride pun ada. Haha hebat kan? Di katakan air panas ini berasal daripada Gunung Tangkuban Perahu. Terdapat banyak kemudahan yang disediakan. Siap ada rumah hantu lagi.
  
Then next destinantion of course lah Pasar Baru Trade Centre Bandung. Shopping paling penting sebab everything is here.Yeayyyy. The multiple stories shopping complex consist of many small shops selling of kinds of things. Macam-macam ada. I only shop in a couple of stalls as I felt the merchandise are no difference at one stall from another. Tapi awas, the place was so overcrowded with people. Kena jaga all your belongings dengan hati-hati especially dengan your ribu-ribu rupiah tu or maybe juga juta-juta rupiah. Yang paling penting kena pandai bargain habis-habisan until you satisfy with the price. I was shocked as i had to bargain even to buy a bottle of Sostro tea. 1 bottle of Sostro tea cost me around 7 thousand Rupiah and the next time if i come here, i have to improve my bargaining sklills. Amaigadddd! It was a fun experiene actually. Tempat ini paling sesuai untuk orang yang shopaholic. Perghhhh! Kalau rasa pandai bodek, bolehlah bercakap dalam bahasa Indonesia kut. They'll still know that you are not local anyways. 

 Next place yang WAJIB pergi sudah semestinya Trans Studio Bandung.
 This theme park provide a great attraction dan apa yang paling menarik sebab its INDOOR. Untuk masuk cuma perlu bayar dalam 150,000 IDR (weekend) dan 250,000 IDR untuk weekdays. You can use 1 card for 2 person. For those yang suka sangat dengan adrenaline challenge, bolehlah cuba rides yang sangat extreme. I like Yamaha Racing Coaster. Berpeluh dan terjerit-jerit macam budak kecik terjumpa duit. Siokkkkkkk!!

Kalau rasa suka sangat dengan barangan leather, bolehlah datang ke Cibaduyut. Rambang mata makkkk! Macam-macam ada. Sampai kedai dah start nak tutup pun, kitaorang masih boleh terpacak dekat situ. Penangan cibaduyut ni kuat sangat. Haishh. Dan at the end sempatlah rembat 2 bag kulit dan kasut. Lagi sekali saya ulangi kena bargain, bargain, bargain. Biarlah orang kata muka tak tahu malu.Ha ha

  Sebenarnya banyak lagi tempat yang kita boleh pergi kalau datang ke Bandung. Boleh datang Toko Tiga,  di sana ada banyak jeans yang berlambak-lambak sampai hendak tersembul biji mata sebab tidak reti hendak memilih. Kalau rasa hendak makan sedap mungkin boleh cuba Restoran ayam goreng Suharti.

Saya sangat suka singgah makan di Saung Punclut Sangkan hurip yang terletak di Jalan Ciumbuleuit. Dekat sini cuma perlu duduk bersila sambil tengok pemandangan gelap sekitar Bandung. Udara dingin berhembus perlahan sesekali kabus terlihat mengelilingi gunung yang terlihat di depan warung makan ini. Perghhh tidak dapat di bayangkan. Memang tidak rugi datang. Wajib order nasi pulut hitam sambil pekena es teh manis. Bagi yang suka minuman special juga ada disediakan, antaranya kelapa muda, es campur dan aneka jus buah segar.

   Sebenarnya tidak rugi jika hendak datang ke Bandung. Apa yang boleh saya nasihatkan ialah banyakkan google before planning your trip. Kalau boleh sewa van dengan supirnya sekali for the entire day so the bapak supir can take you to all the Factory outlets in Bandung dan tidak perlu bimbang kerana bapak supir akan setia menunggu sementara anda tengah gila bershopping. Best kan? I guess that's all for now. Enjoy your shopping frenzy in Bandung!

Hello Krabi!!

Personally, i am so crazy about Krabi. It's smaller and more laid back. The Thai massage was so damn cheap, the food was so delicious. Me and Sharlene decided to take taxi from airport to Krabi town. It cost us about THB 600 for 30 minutes ride. From LCCT to Krabi International Airport, it's took us about 1 hour and 20 min to get there.
  And yeah of course i really had a great time in Krabi. We stayed at Timber House Hotel from 31st of March until 3rd of April. Our hotel location is just nice since it is just between Aonang Beach and Nopparat Thara Beach. We are so in love with the room. Nothing much we can complain except that there was no free WiFi.(typical us) Lol! 



At the front counter
Deluxe Family 1 Bedroom
There is a lot of Halal food in Krabi. So for Muslim visitor like me, need not to worry about eating out. One of the restaurant that i would like to recommend is Chaba Thai Kitchen. Price depend on what you want to order and are very reasonable.




Just near to my hotel, there were about 5 to 6 stalls selling cheap food by the local Muslim to choose from and i was so excited and didn't know where to start. Ha ha.Most of the food is about THB 30-50.Damn cheap huh!
 



1 of my favourite stall is Pancake Rotee Yaminlah. Yummy!! Try the banana pancake and sure makan sampai menjilat jari dan menangis kegembiraan.



Trust me on the banana pancake.It's simply AWESOME!

Me and Sharlene had massages every day when we were in Krabi.I repeat...every day okay. It cost us about THB 200 for 1 hour session of Traditional Thai Massage. Try and you won't regret it.Trust me!Plus, i think every girl needs her TLC. Hiuhiuhiu...
Ao nang is the most popular beach in Krabi with white sandy beach.You'll see countless bars and restaurants, cheap clothing shops and souvenirs, banks and ATM Machines, tour desk and motorcycles for rent are all over the places. Pharmacies and clinics are just everywhere.


 





 Ao nang has it's centre point. Not too big, occupied with 2 storey buildings full with bars and pubs. Owh ya, we managed to see the lady boy cabaret show at Blue Dragon bar, Ao nang. We are so excited, and really enjoyed the show, the beautiful costumes and very fun dancing especially when they dance Oppa Gangnam song in their own style. In fact they were so beautiful compare to real women. Ehem....Well, i really recommend it, a really fun evening to do in Ao nang!
Please...just ignore my big tummy. Thanks...

Turning 30 years old.OMG!

   I recently turned 30. And during the journey of 30, i have learned so much things in life. My close friends kept on asking me where to have dinner? Then i said, lepak Upperstar sajalah. 2 days before my birthday, i told my mom that i am getting old and wrinkly. My mom said i was just look good for my age. 'Jangan malas minum Collagen, jangan suka beli makeup sembarangan,'she told me. Astaga,LOL!LOL!LOL!
  
Someone asked me what i want for my birthday? I am a very simple and not demanding person (mode perasan). For me the joy of receiving gifts has no relation to how much it costs, but how much meaning it brings. But when a man, takes heart into a woman's real needs and gives her a surprise, that's when the gift becomes really special.Ha.Ha.

A big thank you to all my friends for making my birthday so special..xoxo...:)








Bakal pengantin baru pun sempat datang...Thanks dalink...




If your wish doesn't come true,something better was meant for you...:D
