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. :)

Desa Dairy Farm and The Magnificent Mount Kinabalu

I should have chosen the best photo, but the internet speed won't allow me at the moment. My friend, Jue The gelato ice cream I'm a nature lover. I love watching sunset, sunrise, mountains, oceans and beaches. Not to forget that I love greens. In short, anything to do with nature, I'm a full supporter. As a civilian who works from Mondays through Fridays, having a Public Holiday on Friday means the world to me. It is like having such a long weekend! Here's the story. It was an unplanned trip with my Sarawakian friend who currently works in Kota Kinabalu. She is Jue, who planned all this. At first, she just asked me if whether I'm free on that particular weekend. I said, I'm free and there you go. For any plans she planned, I simply said yes to her. It was on 31st March 2018 (Saturday) that Jue and her two other colleagues brought me for a road trip stretching from Kundasang to Kudat for the whole weekend. I can't recall for how ma...

Social Media detox

A week ago, I had deactivated all my social media (personal acounts) temporarily. I think this is quite good for my self-motivation.  Social media detox is good if you think you are so overwhelmed with whatever people or friends post on their accounts. Not beause feel envious, but it's good to get away from worldly matters and sickness.  I chose to deactivate my accounts because I felt bad about myself at that time. I mean, everything I saw was really not valuable. I had wasted my time seeing posts that are really unnecessary for me. This has taught me about myself too, that I should also not post anything unnecessary.  I will do this more often soon. At least once in a month. It's not that hard. Just spend one week away from SocMed, your life would be free from any negative thoughts/matters.  This is sooooo good. I feel good. 

Happy New Year and still single

Here I am, again. After such a long idle. Well, basically I have been very busy with my own stuff and things. Even during my ample time, I prefer to be getting lazy and wallowed. Here's the thing. The thing I wanna talk about which is my life, "being single". My life here in Kota Kinabalu is very simple. I live away from my family, initially my hometown, Sandakan. I do have friends here and most of them are married. Those who are still single do not really spend time mingle being single with me. They also have plans with their usual co-partner. Me? Always alone on weekends. Doing my own stuff and getting things like housechores done as planned. Sometimes not done at all. Well, sometimes my bro would call me to hangout with my nephew and s-i-l but it's not like every week. My other friends do not really always ask me out either. On certain occassions, yes they would. But I'm talking about the regular weekends. All I do is this and that. Watching Netflix lik...
