It's been a week since i've got back from Indonesia for a holiday. It was seriously an awesome holiday! I must say that Bandung is one of a place that you should go. It's all started when my sis ask me to follow her 'rombongan cik kiah' to Indonesia. She wanted to take her colleagues there. The trip that has been plan by my sister is Jakarta-Puncak-Bandung-Jakarta which will be under tour company. One thing that i don't like most is, going holiday with tour company. Because for me, tour company will limit our time. Furthermore, if we know the language o f that particular country that we are going to visit, there's no need to worry. U can always ask the people. Another option if u don't know the places, u can always ask the receptionist at the hotel, or the taxi drivers. A tips that I can share with u is; do study the country that u'll be going to. There's a loooooooooooooooooooooot of infos can be browse with ur fingertips. bla...bla...bla...bla...bebel too much.hahhaha. So, i agreed to follow my sister my i'll only stay in Bandung and won't take the package that offered by the tour company. I'll go by my own. hehehe. 5th June 2010, we flew to Bandung. What an excited feeling we had.
at LCCT, waiting for our flight that supposely to be at 8.30pm instead of 9pm!
only a cup of water during 2 hours flight. We had our dinner already, and plus, the excitement takes over our appetite. hohoho.
it's Bandung from our window.
We were safely landed at Bandung at almost 11pm (our time). The landing wasn't smooth as the runway is too short i think and the pilot had to break hardly. What I do afraid most is when the flight take off and when it's landed. I think it's a very crucial moment (under TV influence too much. ;p). Waiting at the airport is the hotel's worker with my name spell like this, "MISS MOHD MAHFOZ, NOOR INDAHAYATIE". hahaha. But I'm proud to be called as MISS MOHD MAHFOZ. ^^. Oke, we don't take picture at the airport as like others do. The airport is soooooooooo small. By that time, I was so tired. All i could think of, is a very nice, king size bed that will be conquer all by me. Hey, i ask them to give me single bed but they said only King is available oke. So do my bf, he gets that King size bed too. Hahaha. May i use, I CAME, I SAW, I CONQUER?? ;p
We ordered food from the hotel. Which cost me around RM45. Well, not too pricey rite?? We had Nasi with tomyam which is veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery nice and Nasi Goreng Arion I think and a bowl of cendol. Rate for the food is 9/10 (well, nothing is perfect rite?hehehe). Oh, no picture since i was too hungry. Camera doesn't come into the picture anymore. All i could think is "FOOD, FOOD, FOOD, FOOD, FOOD". hohoho. There goes my diet plan. ^.^
2nd Day
2nd Day
The next morning, i woke up at 630 ( Indonesian time which is 730 ours). Mandi2, then straight to hotel cafe. Wooweee...banyaknye makanan sedap2. Diet plan:buang dalam longkang.
There, our food. Sedap woooooooooooooooo.....
the view from the hotel's cafe. what a calm Sunday morning.
After having our breakfast, we headed to PASAR BARU. My mission is to find my family baju raya, prayer garment and my engagement's dress. Oopss...did i just said engagement's dress? Alamak. Bocor rasie.hahaha. Well, we just plan it oke. Wouldn't it be nice if i just prepared the dress? In case Syafeeq ask me "Jom kawen", i do have the dress already. hehehehehe. My itinerary for Pasar Baru should be less than 3 hours. We've made it! We spend almost Rp4,000,000 here! Wooot2, rase mcam org kaya gile (tunggula kau balik malaysia, papa kedana!). Then we headed back to our hotel to check out as we want to stay at hotel near Factory Outlets.
Before check out, sempat jugak jenguk ke tingkap as the night we arrived, i didnt manage to. Tadaaaaaaaaaaa....baju bertaburan di atas bumbung. Maybe they'll having some feast, and as to avoid the rain, the throw their garments on rooftop (malay's petua says that, if we want to avoid the rain, throw the one of ur garment at rooftop.I dunno whether this will work but i'm not so gonna do.)
In front of the hotel. Noted the name, "Arion Swiss belHotel". Iklan free for them nih.
We searched for the taxi, and ask him to take us to Hotel Progo. My little brother (but he's not little oke) is waiting for us there.
As we arrived at Hotel Progo, my brother just arrived. Oh, forgot to mention here, my brother was alone from KL to Bandung and the flight was on that sunday morning.kental adik i neh travel sorang.tulah, when i first offer u xnak.kan, da kene naek flight sorang2 due to ticket price yg mahal utk naek same flight ngan kitorang.haha.
Sampai je kat Progo,, the room wasn't ready yet. So, we left our 'hasil belian' at the receptionist and zasssssssssss...terus menuju ke FO dengan lajunye. 1st FO we'd go is Heritage and Cascade.Heritage got not much but Cascade do. I found a long searching of jacket but sadly, the sleeve was a bit ketat.huhu. I've brought a piece of guess tshirt for just Rp69,000! Excited gile da nak pegi shopping kat FO len.nyahaha..

in Cascade
He was lazy! Trying it here instead of fitting room.
Look at the clock.it's 3pm already. So, we had our lunch at Heritage Cafe and went back to Hotel Progo to check in. The room is quite small for 3 of us. We have to add bed (bodyguard2 saya xrela berkongsi katil ye) and hasilnye, bilik tersebut sangat la sempit. huhu. Xpela, tujuan g sini pon nak shopping, bukan nak bermanja2 di bilik. heee...After checking in, we take a nap and plan to shop again at 5pm. Oke, deal!.....................it's not 5 yet but those 2 boys were asking me to get up for next hunt. Owh...these boys sangat bersemangat shopping compared to me oke.huuuu...oke2, i'll get ready.It's just 5 o'clock but the sun has gone to sleep already but it doesnt stop us shopping. We walk down the road, enter the FO one by one.

secret
There are many other FO here but, shopping first, picture later.hehehehe. While they were busy shopping, I was soooooo hungry but they didn't get it. Kept shopping until.....i merajuk!hahha. I left them both at Oasis and treat myself at one sushi restaurant. Not bad but quite expensive lol. Rp46,000 for few pieces of sushi. I went straight to our room after that. They returm half an hour later. With empty stomach. Padan muke! When the clock shows 10pm, they started to mourn; lapa..lapa...lapa...haish!We went out but it's very unlucky for us because all restaurant were closed. But, God really loves us. There was a restaurant open until 12am. Alhamdulillah. The name is something like Giggle Box or...erm,xingat la. And,disebabkan sume kelaparan, none of us bring the camera. Owh....rugi betul!The restaurant is really nice. It looks like Full House Restaurant. Comel je restaurant ni n murah jugak for that type of restaurant. I'd Hot Choc for only Rp10,000 which approximately RM3.60 and i's no meal. owh, rugi sangat xbawa camera.huhuhu. Then, balik bilik, sume tdo dlm keadaan yang sgt penat n sangat kenyang. Hehehe. Rest and refresh ourselves for tomorrow's treasure hunt!
3rd Day
We started our treasure hunt at 830 pm after having light breakfast at hotel. I really mean it, LiGHT BREAKFAST. The hotel just prepared some vege, fried potatoes (sambal jawa) and rice. That's all but i think it's quite oke la kan rather than have nothing.

both of them enjoyed the meal.
We go straight to Branded Outlet. Syafeeq's brought a sandal last nite unfotunately, they didn't take off the magnet. So, we need to return there or else syafeeq will end up being checked everytime he entered any places that have the censor. After about 10minutes of waiting, they finally open the shop and syafeeq manage to took off that magnet. yay!
we were waiting for the Branded Outlet to open.
Revisited to Oasis. i've bought 2 bottles of perfume here, one for him and 1 for me. Rp100,000 for 2. Cheap right? I've bought myself Anna Sui Dolly at the Beach anh him is Davidoff Cool Water.
Our next destination is Toko 3. My adik was dying to go there since he really need a new pair of jeans. We take a cab in front of Oasis and go straight to Toko 3. Pls take note that Toko 3 opens at 930 + am. We reached there earlier than that but the store still not open yet. Toko 3 got plenty of original jeans. If u r searching for a original Levi's jeans, here's the right place to go. Price range is up to Rp550,000. I don't think it's cheap enough.hahaha.tamak2. well, u can get better jeans in KL with that price babe. We walked out with 3 t shirts (for my uncles).
Pose while waiting for taxi.
inside Toko 3
We decided to hired the taxi driver for a day. Quite expensive oke because I know that we can get cheaper supir. But Syafeeq insist to have that one. So, we hired him and pay Rp320,000.Hum....We got back to Hotel Progo and checked out. For the whole day, we went to various FOs. Oh, you might wonder what is FO stands for right? FO = Factory Outlets. We manage to go to Dago Stock Export (DSE), Grande, Rumah Mode, Jetset and many more which located at Jalan Dago (Rumah Mode is at another road). I would recommend Rumah Mode and Grande. But I prefer Rumah Mode most. Even though it's a bit pricey but the environment is sooooooooooooooooo xtau nak cakap. Tp seriously, best!
all these picture taken at Rumah Mode. I really love this FO. I give 5 stars recommendation. nyeh2.
These was at Grande. We have our lunch at Grande Cafe.
Then, jeng2...masa yang ditunggu2. Me and Syafeeq go for Massage at Vintage Chic Spa. It's located behind Grande but you still have to take a taxi. The spa is reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally cool. We've not much time. Only one hour since the taxi driver's time will ended soon. If there's more time, i would like to do the lulur. but never mind, the aromatherapy massage is good enough. I fell asleep during the massage. ^.^
Him; before the massage.
her; after the massage.
Then, we return to Grande where my brother is waiting. He don't want to follow us to the spa because....hehehe. It tickles him if somebody massaging him. nyahahahaha! My sister still didn't arrive (we will stay with her for the night). Our plan is, she take all of our stuff, then we'll take a cab to her place. A few minutes later, she arrive with that cute little bus!Serious. hehe. When we were empty handed, it's easier for us to move around. Yeay! I've bought a pair of jeans. I dunno why my credit card was rejected at the store. If not, i have buy 2 jeans instead with price not more than RM150! One is MNG and another 1 is Miss Sixty. Since I've got not enough cash, i just go for that Miss Sixty which cost me Rp199,000. Syafeeq bought his friends some Bandung tshirt at Rp18,000 (approximately RM 7). That was sooooooooooo cheap because the quality of the tshirt is really good. Walk and walk and walk, at 9pm, we took the taxi, get back to Ahadiat Hotel; where my sister stay for the night. After took a shower, pray and nap, we pack our stuff as we'll be leaving Bandung tomorrow evening. awwww.... =(.
A few photos before they leaving for Jakarta while I'll be leaving Bandung at 5pm.
Day 4
We ask the hotel to call a cab. The cab arrived at 830am sharp, took us to the money changer (ngeh2...sempat lagi tuka duit nak shopping.hehehee), airport (to keep our baggage there) and again, to Pasar Baru. I've met my sister there. We bought some Baju Cotton which is really awesome! We say good buy to each other few minutes later (note that few minutes. Yes, i did my shopping there for 3 pasang kain cotton and an embroider cloth for syafeeq's mama for less than half an hour!). Me and Syafeeq then continue our journey to Jalan Riau. We want to spend our precious moment there. Oh, before we got to Jalan Riau, I was merajuk with my bf. Haha. i'm one of the kind yang sangat suke merajuk oke. I cepat touching tau.huhuhu. hasilnye..............
