Jakarta - Bandung Trip 2019 (Part 2)


Hi guys!

Been a bit busy the past few days. Sorry for the delay. Huh!  I wish I could do many things at once. After all, this blog can wait though. Hence, the delay.

So, in this post, I'm gonna share about my trip in Bandung right after Jakarta trip. Stay tuned. :)

Okay to begin with, Bandung is awesome guys. So awesome! I love it! I really love it! Everything was planned by Ana. We went to visit so many places there. Most of them are tourist hotspots. I think it's better write about it according to the day we visited, right? Alright, here is our itineraries in Bandung for 4D3N.

First of all, we had our chartered driver throughout our journey in Bandung. However we started on Day 2.

12 Feb 2019 (Wednesday) - Day 1
We arrived from Jakarta at around 12 noon after 3 hours trip on train. It was a smooth journey and peaceful. The view was really breathtaking along the sideways. We could see the hilly tea farm, greeny hills and cool weather.

As we arrived in Bandung, we took a cab and headed straight to our first hotel, Regalia. Then we rested.

After an hour rest, we planned to do our laundry first. We searched through Google and there was one located nearby our hotel. So after packing our stuff for the laundry, we just walked past by the streetside looking for the laundry service from our hotel. After we arrived there, dropped off our laundry then we continue pur journey by taking another walk to the Cihampelas Walk. It was already noon, so it was time for lunch. We walked about 20 minutes to arrive there and had our lunch at a bebek food restaurant (forgot the name, will update). 

One thing about Indonesia is that the food is all cheap, I mean affordable. For backpackers like us, it was all within our estimated budget.

After we had our lunch, we looked around the mall there and searched for a simcard. Yeah, we'd been looking for a simpack since we arrived in Jakarta. I don't know for some reason, it was hard to find one. Actually we already found it at the Jakarta Airport but we refused to buy 'cause we cleverly thought it would be easy to find in the city of Jakarta. We forgot the fact that Jakarta is always jammed.

We ended the day failing to find a simpack, but managed to send our laundry to a dobi centre. LoL...

Before we headed back to our hotel, we stopped by at the laundry shop to pick up our laundry. There were just do many street food stalls anywhere around. We did try one of them. Ana bought the Roti Bakar and it was amazingly delicious. Even though it's just a street food, it's packed nicely in a box. Good move though. That ended our first day in Bandung. 

I'll share about our Day 2 in Bandung in the next post. Stay tuned. :)

Rest in Peace Dear Grandma

A lot have happened recently. At some point, I just cannot think and deal with it anymore. I'm afraid I could not be able to bear it, but Allah will never test His servants with anything they cannot bear. A week before my grandmother passed away, I went back to my hometown with my brother and sister-in-law and nephew as I received a call from mother that she wasn't able to sit, eat and do things due to extreme fatigue. It had been a week since that happened but I was sticked to my plan that I wanted to go back to my hometown before Eid-ul-Adha. 20th July 2019 At 10-ish am, my brother arrived with my s-i-l and nephew. I asked him to drive my car as I really wanted my Dad to test drive it anyway. As usual, a journey on the road is always tiring. 6 hours drive and we managed to arrive home at 10 minutes to 7pm.  I just went straight away checking on my mom's condition and saw how weak she was. I couldn't tell everything here but that's what happened. I did...

Jakarta - Bandung Trip 2019 (Part 1)

As mentioned in my previous post, I had my birthday treat by visiting a country, Indonesia. I had this trip done with my ex-housemates back at Grace Court some years ago when I first moved to Kota Kinabalu. Thank you Ana and Farah for having me on this trip. I will start by posting about Jakarta in this post and Bandung in the next post. So here's how we started our journey. 11th February 2019 (Monday) My flight to KL from KK was supposedly timed at 8.20 pm. However it was delayed for almost 1 hour and 30 minutes. My flight departed from KK around 10.00 pm and I only arrived at KLIA 2 at around 1.00 am. Ana and Farah had already waited for me at the airport. We planned to just stay overnight at the airport while waiting for our next flight to Jakarta in the morning. This was our very first meeting together after so many years. The last time I met Ana and Farah was in 2017. But it was just when both of them came to KK for a short trip and both came in a different time. B...

Burning from the inside

Sometimes, we feel that we can be out of control, sometimes, we can be outrageos or maybe sometimes we just want to be diplomacy.  If not because of respect or promised myself that I do not want to be in hateful environment, I might have just let myself burst out of respect. I do not understand why. If only I could understand why, I might not have to face or have this kind of feeling again.  I tried my best to be nice to everyone, but it's just not enough when you being yourself. Idid everything possible, to help out whichever I can, but I always get treated like "trash". I always get labelled as "this" and "that" after all that I've done. Is it not enough? I mean, why?  I have feelings, forgodsaken. Don't they think I have feelings at all? I feel hurt, burn from the inside. But I cannot express it out. I can't tell or talk cuz I am afraid it would make things worst.  Whatever they wanna say or label me, I am just gonna stay silent. I don...
