Indonesia : Bandung, Ciwalk I | By: Fatin Liyana

I dont know why I ended up here, uploading some pictures, and typing some words for this entry. Well yeah~ I'm now in my 3rd year which means this will be my final year, in bandung. How time passes. Hopefully, I will spend the rest of my precious time here with tons of kewl activities. I decided to start writing entries bout famous places in bandung, for my future references. I mean, nanti bila dah balik Malaysia for good, bila rindu bandung, I can still bring back the memories bila baca balik entry ni teeehee ;)

Well most of you have already seen those pictures right? Yeah, It was taken few weeks back when my girls and I went drooling for Edward & Jacob in cinema. Another reason was, MARA just banked us in RP5.2million = RM1800. Thats include our monthly allowance & annually books allowance. How cool is that? -____- veryyy cooollll.

More pictures, less talking.

Bandung is famous for its fashion statement. Cewek-cewek bandung sume hotness weyh. Even Jekartah people do their shopping here in Bandung. Bring some extra cash & walla~! You can get lots of fashionable clothes kat factory outlets. Berderet kot factory outlets kat sini. The most famous fashion street is Jalan Riau. Harga moderate. Tak mahal sangat tak murah sangat but then you can go crazy bila you hop into their factory outlets. Anyway, gambar above was taken at Sahara Factory Outlet, Jln Riau. Baru je bukak outlet ni. Thats why kitorang saje usha-usha baju kat sni ;)

Some random try-out.

Happy faces with shopping bags.

And then, we took public transport (angkot) and headed to Ciwalk. Ciwalk is abbv for Cihampelas Walk. Its a street where you can find superheros statue along the street. But what fascinates me about Ciwalk is the mall. I so love Ciwalk for their building structures! Ciwalk mall tu bukan 1 bangunan tau, dia macam banyak2 bangunan dalam satu kawasan. and yes, bangunan tersebut sgt2 cntik & kreatif ;) Tengok je KFC kat gambar atas ni.

Entrance walkway to Ciwalk.

Cuaca di bandung sangat best for shopping. Thats why, dorang punye store concept more to street boutique. Oh yes, that's the main building of the mall. Keliling dia ada cafe-cafe yang sangat unique & adorable. Harga pon adorable la kan teehee. Since bandung banyak orang kaya-kaya so barang dia pon not that cheap. Its either same harge macam kat Malaysia or even more expensive.

The Little Things She Needs ! This store sells only flats.

I told you! 2 for RP199.00 or RM70. Macam kasut cotton-on/ruby. 2 for RM60

We decided to grab the Eclipse tickets first and put our shopping lust on hold. Masa kitorang sampai cinema,the queue was like panjang gila. They had like 4 theater just for Eclipse! The cheapest ticket was Rp30k/Rm11 and the most expensive was Rp75k/Rm26 for premier room.

and yes we took the cheapest one :p

After da beli tickets, we went to stuff some food in our stomach. Selepas 2 kali tawaf, we decided to have lunch at Soho Cafe/ Little Italy NYC. They serve mostly Italian food. Their speciality is pizza yang besar macam dulang. siyes weyhhhh kagummm !!

dont even remember the name. its lyk too long.

fettuccine blablablabla. it tastes lyk carbonara but its not carbonara.

spicy bbq chicken wings.

this italian looking food is sumptious but the portion is too small.

oriental spaghetti. why on earth does it looks lyk mee goreng?

Lepas dah makan-makan semua, we went to the cinema again. Eclipse was okay. It was too simple i reckon. But hey, Edward is mine.

We went shopping until malam. Some stuff I managed to grab ;)

Its already 9pm so we decided to buy some buns @ breadtalk for midnight munching.

But then, we stopped halfway at local street vendor for dinner. Ini baru kenyang. Makan kat soho pejadah tadi tak kenyang hampeh. Perut orang melayu kan, mesti nak nasik haha.

And then I went home safely with 1 wedges, 1 flat, 1 flip-flop, 1 jeans, 4 blouses, 1 tote bag & 1 set of bangles. So in love with em! You should try to stop by at Ciwalk if you ever come to bandung. This place is nice :)

Indonesia : Bandung, Paris Van Java | By : Fatin Liyana

That day I told you guys that I went to the zoo right? So here's an entry about it. This entry contains a lot of pictures. It may take some time to be uploaded. Teehee nak buat macam mana, a picture tells a thousand words. So instead of writing thousands of words, I can just simply upload few pictures that already worth merely millions of words. Am I genius or what??

The driver & the co-driver of the day. I didn't drive my Jazz, instead we rented the MPV because its cozier & larger than my car. There were 8 of us actually. Thats why la kan. Camno la rhoman eh kalo naek jazz bolapan yo tak? Kekno nak sumbek yang lobih tu? Kek tayar abah kau? Ok #sarcasm.

The girls. 1 melilau. 1 tengah tangkap gambar ni.

 

#1 - macam monyet tapi muka merah, scary! | #2 - camel yang comel | #3 - IDK the name tapi dia boleh tangkap ikan guna mulut dia. Style gila!

We spent about 2 hours strolling here and there around the zoo. There were not so many people on that day. So it was quite lengang & aman sentosa. We enjoyed the trip despite the not so wide variety of animals. Oh since the zoo is located in the middle of the town, we then headed straight to PVJ to grab our lunch.

Makan dekat restoran apa ntah lupa nama dia sebab makanan dia so - so jer. Padan muka kau. Gambar pon aku tak hamek walaupun decorations kedai kau cantik. Itulah padahnya mempermainkan perasaan orang lapar yang baru balik dari zoo trip. Lepas makan, pegi shopping sebab macam dah lama tak shopping.

Muka serius betul masa bershopping macam tengah jawab soalan MDE pulak =')

Lepas tu lepak makan yoghurt kat Sour Sally. Sour Sally ni sangat femes & sedap. Lagi sedap dari Tutti Frutti tau. Makan dengan topping mochi umm sedapnye sedapnye! Later on, Nana came & joined us =) Nana datang dari Malaysia tau. She came with her fiancee to shop for their wedding preparation.

Lepas dah feeling ala-ala Gossip Girl sebab makan yoghurt sambil bergossip, kitorang pon pegi TRADEMARK - The indoor market. Banyak local designers yang superb. Berpeluh pon tahap superb jugak sebab punyelah banyak manusia.

Oh yeah, mind you aku drive kete manual. Last sekali aku drive manual masa 2nd year. Adalah setaon lebih. Mula-mula cuak dia bukan main. Kejap2 nak tukar gear. Stop kat traffic light takmo berbual-bual dengan co-driver sebab nak tunggu lampu hijau. Gelabah. Lepas dah dapat feel, terus belagak siap boleh cakap telefon haha. First time beb, drive kat Bandung nek kete manual. Boleh tahan la pegi dia. Sekarang ni aku nak declare yang aku dah phobia-free. Time kasih. What does not kill you makes you stronger. Strong ker? For the time being ye la LOL.

Indonesia : Bandung Plaza | By: Fatin Liyana

Aku tau korang mesti nak aku update pasal rumah anak yatim kan? Ha, aku bukan taknak tapi ada lagi gambar yang aku tak habis transfer. So biar aku cerita dulu pasal itu hari kitorang food-hunting kat Bandung masa CNY. Hekeleh, benda dah lepas buat apa nak dikenang lagi der? CNY dah lama berlalu pergi, Cap Goh Mei bersilih ganti. Ah aku memang suka kenang benda-benda lepas ni sebab experience is the best teacher. Terasa cikgu-cikgu yang pernah mengajar aku dulu sebab aku anugerahkan pingat guru terbaek kepada Puan Pengalaman Bt Lepas. Emang dasar lho! (sorry cikgu, memain jer)

#Food-Hunting : Dim Sum @ Eastern Restaurant, Istana Plaza, Bandung

Actually kitorang datang sebab nak makan package 'all-u-can-eat' biasalah student mesti kena pandai plan. Bayar nak sikit, makan nak banyak haha. Tapi sebab hari tu CNY, jadi package tu tak available. Camni a. Jadi kitorang pun makan ala-carte. Sedap ! Lenkali aku akan pastikan aku dapat makan package murahan tu.

# Bowling @ Dago Plaza, Bandung. Bowling kat sini mahal, 1 game lebih kurang RM6. Macam kat Pavillion ek? Bowling tak berapa femes pon kat sini. Ayam penyet lagi femes.

 Masa kitorang main ni, takda orang lain. Teehee.

# Karaoke @ XEX Lounge, Dago Plaza. Sebenarnya tempat ni pub, tapi sebab siang maka takda orang langsung yang datang. Kalau tak mesti kitorang kena tuduh pergi clubbing, walhal kitorang pergi situ untuk berkaraoke sesama muhrim je. Apepon, tak sangka aku harga dia murah nak mamp. RP30k sejam.

 # Food-Hunting @ Steak Batu, Jalan Dago Atas, Bandung.

Untuk dinner kitorang makan steak pulak. Kat mesia panggil apa eh steak atas batu ni? Steak tu kita masak sendiri atas batu panas nak mampos tu. Korang jangan pandang batu ni sebelah mata mahupun pandang dengan mata kuyu, dia punya tahap kepanasan tu memang tak boleh dibawak berbincang langsung =')

 Power gak aku main pool kan....... NOT! =p 

Oh masih tinggal lebih kurang 2 bulan di bandung, lepas tu kena balik mesia dah. Harus berusaha untuk food-hunting dengan lebih giat ! Sebenarnya harus berusaha untuk final exam baru betul.

Indonesia : Pangalengan | By: Fatin Liyana

Kau orang tau apa itu rafting? Kalau dalam bahasa Indonesia kita panggil dia arung jeram. Dalam bahasa Malaysia aku tak tahu depa panggil apa. Mungkin mengharungi jeram. Eceh macam mengharungi badai pon ada. Mengikut kata encik wiki, dia kata rafting ni adalah sejenischallenging recretional outdoor activity. Kenapa ia challenging? Kerana aktiviti ini dilakukan at different degrees of rough water yang bisa menyebabkan anda cedera parah kalau tak dengar kata instructor akibat banyak sangat berbughak (baca: berborak)

Itu hari aku pergi travel ke Medan & Jakarta sensorang. Aku rasa macam akulah manusia paling cool dan ohsem. Setelah aku pulang ke Bandung, aku cuma rehat satu hari and the next day, aku dengan 20 member-member yang lain telah pergi rafting di Situ Cileunca, Pangalengan. Untuk mengukuhkan bukti bahawa aku sememangnya ohsem, korang haruslah tahu yang aku keluar rumah pada pukul 6.30 pagi. Semangat bukan? Mind you perjalanan ini mengambil masa selama 2jam setengah. Yup aku tido sepanjang jalan. Akibatnya aku terlepas untuk menikmati panorama yang sungguh breathtaking =')

1# Beautiful sky & trees | 2# Instructor menyediakan lifejackets, helmets & pedals untuk setiap ahli kumpulan | 3# Aku semangat beratur depan sekali dan selamba melantik diri sendiri menjadi ketua kumpulan walaupun tidak diredhai oleh teman yang lain haha.

Kami mesti kena dengar briefing daripada instructor sebab dia kata berlaku 75% kemalangan di Sg Palayangan ini. Ada yang meninggal pon. Sebab cuak jadi semua orang tekun mendengar briefing teehee. Setiap inflatable boat akan ditemani oleh seorang instructor. Thank god! Dan aktiviti ini adalah sepanjang 5km.

Kami diajar bagaimana nak handle boat tu. How to hold the pedal, how to kayuh forward & backward, do's & don'ts and all sorts of accident & emergency that could possibly happen. Dengar pon dah cuak siryes aku rasa macam oklah bro aku balik dulu, aku takmau mati kat sungai apetah lagi ketika rafting. Tapi adalah sungguh tidak jantan kalau buat benda separuh jalan so yeah =') (walaupun bukan jantan)

1# Menuju ke kawasan sungai | 2# Mula-mula seronok kerana tidak berjumpa dengan jeram lagi.

1-4# Beginilah rupanya kalau anda main rafting. Kan dah kata ia adalah challenging.

Jantung macam nak tercabut, muscle di tangan menjadi strain akibat memegang pedal yang berat, inflatable boat macam gila pergi langgar-langgar batu, pokok, ranting whatsoever yang ada depan mata. Yang paling kasihan adalah 2 manusia di depan kerana bahagian depanlah yang akan tenggelam dahulu sebelum apa-apa. Sungguh tidak aci. Sudah berapa kali aku & mila tenggelam dalam boat sendiri sedangkan orang belakang cuma kena water splash.

 1# Ok baru puas hati kerana semua tenggelam bersama haha!

1# Kami semua happy! | 2# Lunch makan makanan kampung, kehkeh kantoila aku makan banyak macam ahli sukan | 3# Bergambar sebelum pulang

Tahu tak inflatable boat kitorang terbalik? Aimi pula terkeluar dari boat dan tergapai-gapai di jeram! Instructor tu bagaikan hero dia cepat-cepat selamatkan Aimi. Aimi selamat tapi crocs dia hilang sebelah. Aku pula sedang sibuk mengelak dari duri-duri pepohon rimba yang kurang ajar. Ada ke selamba je ranting tu boleh sebat muka aku? Ayah aku pon tak pernah sebat aku pakai ranting tau. Eh ada pulak orang sebat anak dia pakai ranting? Macam tak praktikal jer.

Apapon kami kemalangan ketika di jeram yang agak curam. Akibatnya bibir aku berdarah, pedih dia bukan main kepalang wa cakap lu. Menitik jugak air mata gua haha! Tapi siryes bestla, tak terasa pon 5km! We want moreeee we want moreee. Walaupun boat kami terbalik, muka kami tersebat-sebat dengan duri dan ranting, pinggang kami macam nak patah, selipar aku putus, bibir aku berdarah dan aimi lemas namun ini adalah pengalaman paling berharga. Aku terasa bagaikan jaguh. Jaguh yang jarang ada di abad ini. Jaguh yang hanya ada setiap 15 tahun, whatever that means LOL.
