HoLiDaY TrIp

few days back, which was last week..from 2oth-23th november 2008..my family and i went to Jakarta and Bandung, Indonesia..my dad had some sort of meeting and work at jakarta..actually, it turned out to be just a couple of hours meeting..the rest, we went for great savings of shopping! :D

ok, now i need to recall..

KLIA sungguh lenggang..

FIRST DAY( Thursday)

our flight to Jakarta was at 5pm..on board with KLM Air France..my mum said the plane tickets were cheaper than MAS..after all, it was comfortable, they served delicious halal food and the stewardesses were utterly genial..by the way, it was just an hour flight..reached Soekarno-Hatta Airport at 5pm (a bit inaccurate)..the time of Jakarta is about an hour earlier than Malaysia.. then we continue our way to Sari Sri Pan Pacific Hotel..later on during the night,we ate at Mcd for dinner..oh yeah..here, in Jakarta..everywhere you could see police and cops..'pak polisi' ..safety is definitely their priority now..even if you wanna enter Mcd, they'll check your bags and only after that off you go!! hurm..a very good prevention to overcome any assault by bloody criminals, i think! no more boom here and boom there like before...booom!!haha..everyone can live in peace..! :D finally..

SECOND DAY( Friday)

woke up early in the morning..had our buffet breakfast at the hotel..then head our way to Mangga Dua( a very unique name)..by taxi..well..things here are extremely cheap!! if you know how to bargain, you'll definitely save thousands of rupiah,for sure..haha..i bought DVDs just for 6,000rp each which approximately around rm2!!can you believe that?? my mum suddenly became a total shopaholic..she bought loads of stuffs..so,me,my dad and my lil bro have to wait for her hours and hours in front of almost every shop!!

THIRD DAY( Saturday)

again, woke up early..had our breakfast and then from Jakarta, we went to Bandung by car 'mobil'..sort of a rent car but the driver is a taxi driver..we knew him during our second day..it took two hours to reach Bandung..then we went to various places and started to get lost a lot! the driver has never been to Bandung before..as a matter of fact, Bandung has only one way roads!!all of them are one way!!how difficult could it be??just imagine your places are all in one way!!you'll get lost more and more..you couldn't go back to the previous place with just going back in different way like normally we did..indeed,you have to start it all over again!!weird isn't it??what a waste of petrol..haha..and erm..i saw an enomous number of beggars scattered all over the place..when you donate to few beggars, then walk like a few metres you would surely found another beggars..how to help all of them??there were beggars with babies, beggars that were uncapable to walk, old beggars..there were plenty of them!and some people would just sing a song and play the guitar on the road..to get money..some would sell things and find their way through each cars and hoping that a mercy person would buy them! erm..sad, isn't it?

FOURTH DAY ( Friday)

this day, i woke up a bit late..err..i mean..very late!! 11am..hehe..because my parents woke up early and they just left me and my lil bro in our hotel room..so,i took this precious opportunity to have a wonderful, divine sleep! my parents again went shopping..i dont even bother to know where..but still, they bought something for me..a long skirt :D ..ok, then when they finally got back..we began to pack up our things..our empty bags suddenly overloaded..adehh..to many things we bought..you really must go shopping at Indonesia! ok then we have our lunch at gado-gado restaurant..nasi padang..utterly delicious! than we head our way to Soekarno-Hatta Airport and went back home..my beloved country, Malaysia!

as a whole i would say that Jakarta and Kuala Lumpur are almost alike! Jakarta is a city with skyscraper buildings..'kantor-kantor tinggi bangat' well-developed..has loads of statues beside the roads..urban living! while Bandung more like countryside..however, both of them have numerous shops for you to go shopping with a very good bargain!imitation handbags, lovely clothes, cheap things..don't you just love that?? :D nonetheless, i still think Bali is the best state of Indonesia..! its extremely spectacular view is undisputed..:D whatever it is, shopaholics..you must go to Indonesia!

thousands rupiah of mine..but when convert,it's less than rm10! -_-'

p/s im sorry that i didnt snap any photos of indonesia..didnt bring a camera and my hp's battery sadly sudah kong =( 1st day lagi..adehh..
