Bandung trip...

I want to speak Indon for this entry but i know only few vocabs...hehe..so in Malay or rojak sajelah..So just bear with it..;)

Ok..here's the summary of our trip. Quite long actually.

Bertolak lebih kurang 8.30pm ke Bandung dan sampai lebih kurang pukul 11 lebih camtulah. Memang prefer tak ikut mana2 pakej sebab boleh suka hati berjalan ikut jadual sendiri. Sampai je kat airport Bandung terus amik 2 buah teksi ke Retanata Homestay. Homestay ni macam Japanese cottage style. Sangat nice and kawasannya nyaman sekali. Ada dua bilik besar dan ruang tamu.Lebih kurang macam nilah bentuknya...

Esoknya di Bandung we all decide nak jalan2 dulu sekitar Jalan Hegarbudhi yang memang dekat sangat dengan our place. Area situ memang berderet factory outlets. Pagi2 lagi after breakfast dah menapak ke beberapa factory outlets(F.O) and memang 'gila lah' tgk baju2 branded lagi murah yang ada kat situ... . F.O yang ada macam Rumah Mode, Mode Plus, Natural, Sisters dan lain-lain, tak blh recall nama dah. Among brands yang ada macam Guess, Zara, Burberry, Hugo, Ralph Lauren, Dockers, Tommy Hillfiger, Armani, Calvin Klein, Mark n Spencer etc, etc, can't list all, too long..Harganya cuma ratusan ribu saja tapi dalam rupiah la, hehe...Then we all gi makan2 kat Restoran Garuda sebelum meneruskan perjalanan naik angkot2 ke Jalan Cihampelas dan Jalan Riau and start balik shopping di beberapa factory outlet kat ctu macam Cascade, Heritage, The Summit sampai malam n singgah makan di Restoran Saripawon yang sedap....

The next day shopping diteruskan ke Pasar Baru. Pasar Baru is a must-visit - all sorts of embroidered clothes, batik, scarves, accessories, telekung, kain lace...you name it. And kat cni terus jadi jakun sekejap sebab tak tahan tengok stuff2 yang cantek2 bangat. With 7 floors filled with great stuff, we spent the whole day there. Kalau ikutkan hati nak beli telekung sulam2 tu banyak2, one for each prayer time ...hehe... My hubby terus beli satu kodi kain kurung dan kebaya sulam. Lebih 20 pasang kot, nak jual kat ofis katanya.Apa-apalah labu.. Lalu saya pun menumpang beberapa pasang kain untuk diri sendiri ke dalam kad kredit beliau...;p Seharian menghabiskan masa di pasar Baru sampai semua kedai kat ctu nak tutup, nak balik, tapi bayang2 my parent in law pun tak nmpak lagi sebab sakan bershopping.

The next day, we all siap2 ke Tangkuban Perahu. Kawasan volcano and memang destinasi wajib pergi la kiranya kalau ke Bandung. Perjalanan ambik masa dalam 45 minit from Bandung and we all pergi dengan pak supir by van. Kawasan volcano memang cantik dan sejuk. From gunung, menapak sejauh lebih kurang 2 km ke Kawah Domas, hot spring area yang panas. Tangkuban Perahu memang indah dan best, cuma yang tak bestnya bila diikut oleh annoying souvenirs sellers yang merayu2 beli souvenirs dorang yang mahalnya berganda2 dari yang ada di bandar Bandung . Balik singgah jap di Jalan Cibaduyut dan Jalan Cibadak sebab my sis in law nak cari door gift for her wedding. Malamnya me, hubby dan sis in law menapak dan meredah hujan ke Rumah Mode sebab tak puas lagi bershopping kat situ.

Then keesokan harinya sebab tak puas berjalan ke Pasar Baru walaupun dah spent satu hari, we all pegi lagi skali ke Pasar baru. Konon final shopping la sebelum balik esoknya. Hajatnya nak beli barang sikitje kali ni tapi memang tershopping over lagi skali.Kalini beli kain cotton and batik serta telekung untuk diri sendiri lagi.hehe...Kalau tak terkenangkan luggage yang akan over weight nanti, pastinya akan menambah beberapa koleksi kain sulam dan kebaya even my mom in law dah pksa2 suruh habiskan je wang rupiah yang berbaki dlm purse..

Esoknya fly back to KL...

6 hari di Bandung memang best sebagai tmpat shopping dan makan2 except bandarnya terlalu macet (sesak) dengan kawasan yang agak kotor. Ramai beggars termasuk kanak2 dan remaja yang akan ikut kita sampai ke dalam angkot2. Biasanya dorang ni akan main gitar dan menyanyi untuk kita dalam angkot2 tu sambil minta duit. Perkataan yang kelakar saya penah dengar ialah bila seat belt dipanggil sebagai sabuk pengaman. What the..??

I'm sooo thankful to be Malaysian ..

Alone at home...

Alone at home today on Sunday and it sucks... hubby went for BTN since Thursday and he'll be away until tomorrow. And yes, he did left the car at the car park and asked me to drive it just in case I need to buy something to eat. No point at all coz I prefer forcing myself to cook or take a bus rather than driving. I never drive without having someone by my side coz everytime I go behind the wheel I would tremble with nerves and hesitate to push the gas. I think I suffer from some kind of unidentified driving phobia and wishing there's a medicine to overcome this so I can buy a car for myself with confidence..yeps..

I was lucky enough bcoz my parents and siblings came on Friday, at least they were here to keep me company yesterday.

Oh, notice the new layout? I've done some make over to my blog, and I do love it especially the RSS dolly. Credit to Kak Emy for the make overs and able to 'layan' my fussiness.hehe.. Kak Emy is a talented, creative illustrator and graphic designer and I just love all her artworks. She designed cover illustration for most of A.Samad Said's books. If u want to see more of her creative design , u can go and check for her artworks and portfolios here.

I think I had to give the Taman Negara story a missed since I already put some pictures and captions in the facebook..hehe. But it was a blast coz I think i've overcome one of my fear factor, Acrophobia!- that is fear of heights..

I managed to overcome my fear by crossing the 50 metres height and 510 metres long canopy walkway. It was not easy u know,coz I could feel the bridge swings and my knees were shaking and trembling all the way...huhu. If u visit Taman Negara, your journey will not complete until u give this a shot...

the hanging ladder! gayat2..

Why I Like Man Utd..

29/5/2009- Hi. nak komen jugak psl perlawanan semalam. Asyik cerita pasal menang je, kalah sekali sekala pun best juge. Seperti yang semua maklum Man U telah kalah di tangan Barca semalam. Memang tak diduga Man U telah kalah tanpa sebarang gol magic yang dibuat oleh Ronaldo, Rooney atau lain2 players.Tapi hakikatnya hanya 2 kelab terbaik dunia sahaja yang akan beraksi di Champion League.Dan yang terbaik itu adalah Man U dan Barcelona. Kelab lain memang tak masuk dalam senarai.hehe. Masa Eto'o menjaringkan gol pertama Barca smlm, saya dah bangun dari sofa pegi iron baju, sidai kain. Jam 3 pagi.hehe.Hubby masih lagi melekat di depan TV. Man U main agak teruk smlm ,nak2 bila dah down dengan jaringan yang dibuat oleh Eto'o. Aksi Ronaldo seme tak menjadi. Free kick melepas begitu saja. Pertahanan pun teruk. Apatah lagi bila Messi menanduk gol kedua..Memang masa tu nampak muka kelat Ronaldo, dan muka redha Alex Ferguson. Puyol hepi sangat, saya tengok dah macam rupa Dee Jangan Ketawa tu.Haha.Malas nak tulis banyak2. Barcelona memang layak menang semalam. Takpe, season lepas Man U dah julang piala Champion League itu, so apa salahnya pas kat kelab yang sama hebat season ni.

Paling best, kelab lain yang memang dah out Champion League pun terlompat2 dengan kekalahan Man U. Mengalahkan penyokong kelab yang menang.haha Dan itu termasuk bos saya sendiri.Itu yang saya suka pasal Man U.Semua orang benci Man U dan bergembira dengan tewasnya 2-0 smlm.Kelab hebat yang paling di anti oleh ramai penyokong kelab lain.Tapi saya tetap suka Man U. Ada jurulatih hebat, barisan pemain yang berkualiti,penyokong yang setia, semua hebatla bak katanya.Season ni sahaja dah banyak piala menang dan layak ke final Champion League.

Pagi tadi Sham bagi cup cakes yang cute ni bagi menyedapkan hati saya sebab kekalahan Man U smlm.Tak sedih pun.Anyway, gracias muchachas..!xoxo.


Walau berganti Jurulatih, walau berganti pemain(mcm Beckham dulu) saya tetappp suka Man U! Dah2, nanti ada yang meluat pulak ngan entri ni.haha.

So glory2 Man United!

Man Utd rulzz!! (mind the old pic. UK-Ireland 2005..)

Monday Mundane..

Note: craps not worth reading..;)

~Just got back from Cameron Highlands last Saturday. Attended the 4 days 'inspection' course is so tiring since the weather was gloomy and rainy every single day .Dunno whether because of my age or other factors but I found that Cameron is not exciting as it was during my last trip here back in 1999. Unlucky me,I bought packets of strawberries but had to throw all of 'em away coz they only last for 4 days.. And the roses..? Forget about the roses. Most florists I met on the cool land told me they can last for 5 years (serious..) coz the special chemical they put to it but it begin to droop in 5 days. Lesson No 1: U can trust the florists that your flowers can last for 5 years, but only if u stay in Cameron for 5 years. They still fresh in cool air. Lesson No 2: Don't buy strawberries if u not intent to eat it within 4 days. Ok, whatever..

pweety roses in cameron..unfortunately they won't last longer..

~ Yesterday went to the closing of Batik Bazaar in PWTC with Aida. I already ignore the tiredness of traveling back to KL the day before when it comes to 'shopping'. I'm not a big fan of batik but since we have to wear batik every Thursday so need to add some batik stuff in my closet.Bumped into Pak Lah with his Mrs Jane.Hehe. Spent the afternoon, squeezing into the small crowds from one stall to another.Went crazy about those selection of batik materials with average and affordable price but had to limit my purchase when Aida gave me the reminding look that there's other important stuff to shop i.e. hantaran. Ending up, I found myself and Aida at Sogo with a few bags in our hands.

hi Pak Lah! (waving)

~ Before this I’d been keeping a mental note of things I’ve loved at weddings and things that I didn’t like. Whether it’s food choices, decor or colors, timing of the day’s activities,my dream wedding will be based on things I’ve seen work well from weddings I’ve attended in the past. That's my personal, general thought before.But when time getting closer, I rather think that those thoughts are not really relevant anymore. I just want things to be done simple because the inside feeling to finish everything quick and fast is more overwhelming.No headache.But people say u have to enjoy everything from the preparation until the wedding because that is only once in a lifetime experience..really..hmm.. Enough craps, I wish I can have more time to indulge myself crapping in here again. I'm craving and wishing for more time to meet life's expectation. After all maybe the limited time given has a wisdom behind it. God knows best..

Till then..daa..
