Jakarta - Bandung Trip 2019 (Part 3)

Day 2 in Bandung

14th February 2019


Rancabali District


Our first destination was Kawah Putih (the White Crater) which is located about 40 minutes drive away from the city centre of Bandung. The fee is Rp. 70k excluding the parking fee. Just prepare some extra cash guys.

We spent about 1 1/2 hours there. The view of the crater was very beautiful. It was my very first time to see a crater, which is initially made from the volcano eruption.

The next destination was Glamping Lakeside which is also known as Situ Patenggang. There's a history behind the name by the way. There's a stone which carved with its whole story. Basically the lake was where 2 lovers met for the first time and thought their love forever. The story is in the picture. Oh yeah, the fee is Rp. 25k.

The lake is indeed very beautiful, serene and tranquil. I always thought that I would never have that kind of moment, travelling far away from home and see other people's culture. I was wrong. It all is up to us anyway. If we really want it, we strive for it. That's the key.

There's a big ship that transformed as a restaurant for tourists to have meals while enjoying the view of the lake, greeny hills and tea farms all around. We spent another 1 1/2 hours there.

The third destination for the day was Ranca Upas. The fee was Rp. 10k.  So what is Ranca Upas? It's a rehabilitation centre for deers. Okay, you might be questioning why would an animal rehab be part of the trip? The trip is meant for nature, enjoying the flora and fauna, etc. In fact, I've never seem a deer before my eyes in whole life. Let alone touching it. Since it was just one way to, then why not?

It was already around 2pm. As we headed off to the city, Barusen Hill plan was cancelled due to rain and it was already late to go.  Maybe next time. So we were headed back to the City.

Lembang District

We checked in at D&D Backpack House and had our dinner there. The food was very homey and we were all warmly welcomed.

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...

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...

Hello 2022

 Alhamdulillah for everything... Today is 28th of February 2022 and I just wanna say thank you Allah for all the blessings you have bestowed me. I know it's the last day of February and I think it's still not too late for me to wish everybody a Happy New Year 2022! haha Whoaa... it's amazing to know it's already 2022, guys. Can you believe it? A lot of things happened in 2021 that I just didn't have that much time to update my blog.  The worst part for last year was the passing of my beloved grandfather whom passed away on 15th January 2021. I know I should have written about him like how I wrote for my granny in 2019. But the memory was too much and I was truly in sorry for quite a few months after his passing. It took me a while to get back up and continue living. It was really the most sad day ever in my whole life. I witnessed his last breath and the moment he said the 'syahadah' was the most tear-jerking moment I ever saw. I just could not believe it ha...
