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, ...

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...

Birthday Treat

Referring back to my last post, it was in January 2019. Now it's June, June guys. June 2019. If you noticed in my last post, I wrote something about getting unwind for myself. Yeah, this post talks about it. I suddenly have time for this out of nowhere. It was in February where I had a vacation for myself with my ex-housemates Farah and Fahana. So we planned this vacation last year in May 2018. It was just an unplanned thought by Ana when she offered herself to buy the flight tickets for us first. I think if that way didn't happen, we might not be able to have our oversea trip together to date. So I wanna say thank you Ana for planning this trip. It was my first trip to oversea guys. My first ever trip. To add some more, using my own hard earned money! At first, I wasn't sure about going somewhere outside Malaysia cuz I thought I just never could. I mean, I'm just a plain person who works 9 to 5 for the sake of living. Guess where we went to? Those who fo...

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...

This Thing Called Love

Love. What is love to you guys? I believe we all have our very own interpretations of love. In this very post, I would like to talk about it. Do not worry, it won't be lengthy or boring, I hope. :) So, before I go further, I would like to clarify on the aspect that I would like to focus on, which is truly based on my experience. To be specific, the experience based on my past relationships. Everyone loves to be loved by someone, right? I do, for sure. How many times have you been in love? I am a very picky person, I choose who to love. I've been in a relationship three times, to be exact. All of the relationships I was into were a total failure and I think, I've wasted much of my time believing them to be the right one. I'm gonna focus on the third, who is a military officer. He's the only who had ever met my family. I introduced him to my family and my family gave me the green light. Long story short, the relationship didn't last. After all that happene...

My passion, my journey

Some people are very lucky to live their dreams earlier than expected, some people not. I guess I'm one of those who have to undergo series of trials before I can actually say I'm on a stable state. Here, I'm talking about my dream, or better say, my passion? My Mom has always been the biggest supporter for me to become a teacher. My Dad has never specified what he wanted me to be since I was a kid. Well, he was and is a very busy man. When I was young, I always dreamt of becoming a banker, or anything to do with numbers. Back when I was in primary school, I remember I told my teachers that I wanted to be a bank officer (pegawai bank). As I grew up learning, I found my interest in accountancy. Hence, when I was in secondary school, I wished to become an accountant. I always performed well for English paper during exams. My English teacher always said that I could be a good English teacher like him too. I said, I didn't want to become a teacher. I wanted to be an a...

The Tip of Borneo

The journey to Kudat from Kundasang via Kota Belud - Ranau road was indeed a new experience for me cause I have never been on that road before. It was a very exhilarating experience.  As we embarked our journey there, the view of the Mount Kinabalu was visible stretching from Kundasang - Tamparuli - Kota Belud. Alongside the road in Kota Belud is the Taginambur river. We stopped by at a spot on the riverside to enjoy our chicken wings that we bought in Kundasang earlier. The river is so divine and clear that it shows that it's never been polluted. Let's hope, it will never. It was a very calming moment for me as all I could hear was the sound of water splashing the rocks on the riverbanks and flowing through the river way. How lucky the people who live around there. We continued the journey to Tanjung Simpang Mengayau (also famously known as the Tip of Borneo) after the short break. It was my second time to the Tip of Borneo. It's just that this time around. I got...
