Jakarta - Bandung - Puncak Trip (June 2008)

A post which i wanted to write since ages ago but just didn't bother. Ahaha at first when i just created this blog, hangat-hangat tahi ayam, like Veron said. Look what has happened now! Lol practically dead and eventually rose up once in awhile. Ahh well, just bare with me :)

I couldn't really remember much how my itinerary was, but roughly, looking back at the pictures i've got i can figure out something i hope. :D Buahahaha okay, well this Indonesia trip is another Tourism Trip organized by our beloved Mr. Ha! It's our first overseas trip so we're very excited! Besides we heard about how cheap the stuffs are there :)

I remembered our flight was delayed, we board the plane almost 1am when it is suppose to be around 10pm if i'm not mistaken? Sadly, every trip Ai Chen made it except this one. But it's okay, we did get some nice souvenirs for her. Kelly finally joined this trip!

That's me, Ting and Kelly :)

These are called 'Nasi Padang'. It's very famous around Indonesia, mostly in Jakarta. Basically they served VERY spicy food. I shall remind you once again. VERY, i mean VERY spicy food. They served a lot of fried birds. There was one time, i accidentally ate the real small and green cilipadi, i was almost choked to death! Goodness the pain, i had 3 cups of ice water, 3 cups of mango juice, 3 cups of ice, nothing can stop that terrible feeling. I shall always remember that moment.

These are known as 'Sundanese' food. Very famous in the area of Bandung. It's a much nicer type of food compare to 'Nasi Padang', very similar to Chinese style. They served many different kind of fishes and it tasted scrumptious!

This bowl of noodles is known as 'Mee Bak-so'. One of the trademark food in Indonesia. As far as i remember, the noodles are just normal, but the meatballs were tasty! Normally, it is served with a sweet soya sauce dip.



As you can see in the banner, 'Sate Kambing and Sop Kambing'. This little road-side stall just outside our hotel serves unbelievably tasty lamb satay and soup! Goodness how i missed it!

One of the nights, Ting, Kelly, Mr. Ha and I went to a Japanese Restaurant for supper. Yes, supper :P Here are some pictures:

Salmon, anyone?

Fried seafood udon :)

Teriyaki Chicken

Just found this picture. The place is called 'Sushi Hana'. Obviously. Buahaha :P

Us =D

We also visited an old-no-more-existing-volcano-site, called 'Tengkuban Perahu'. The view was breath-taking and mesmerizing.




There, one big happy family :)


Here goes some random pictures we snapped:







Menara Monas, the landmark of Jakarta





Called 'tuk-tuk'

Ahh that sums up my whole journey. It was indeed a memorable one. :)

Sweet Valentine

Thank you...you know who you are. :)

All the way from Malaysia :P Thanks Veron. Love u LoaDs. MwahX!

Blessed!

Ahh...i'm in UK. Duh~ Hehe it's like...just yesterday i was deciding where to persue my studies and here i am. After all those preparations, seems really hard to believe i'm actually here. The first person i'd like to offer my thanks to is God...because He has blessed me endlessly and He's the reason i'm here! Secondly my family for their never ending support and love. Never forget my friends who hold special place in my heart, you know who you are :)

Well my flight here was tiring, transit at Singapore for almost 11 hours! Goodness, den flight to London was 14 hours. The flight was shaky and the seats were small. Flight from London to Newcastle was short and just nice. When we got out of the airport, wow the wind! Ahh it's really cold! It's the first time we experience winter boh. :P

That's me, Amy, Fong Ling and Li Joo in front of Newcastle Airport. Once arrived at my house, we were shocked cuz the bathroom and kitchen were so dirty! Apparently my room and the smallest room seems to be the cleanest...and we find it the prettiest. Thank God! :) I've got some not-so-good pictures on my room but i'll just post it up lah :P Hehe

That's my messy table.

That's my messy bed.

That's my cupboard and pretty panty. WAHAHA

The landlord got the toilet and kitchen cleaned up, so it's clean now. Housemates and i has been cooking almost everyday. I've got no pictures on kitchen but yeah, here's my toilet!


I've experienced snow the first time in life! Ahh pretty little thing. But it's too cold and quite slippery.

That's the starting of snow. All of us ran outside the house. It's freaking cold so we quickly snap some pictures. Hehe



Okay, I'm really lazy to type more. To sum everything up, I'm doing good here. Though i miss home and love ones back there, it's not as bad as i've expected. I'll update more some other time. :) When i get internet connection at my new home. Hehe









Ahh that's bout it. Bye for now :)
