Trip to Jakarta/Bandung (8 - 12 Aug 2009)

Finally.. sampai jugak aku kat Indonesia ni.. (Jakarta & Bandung 2 B exact..) I must say it was a fun trip.. best la jugak.. thou pada firasat aku, wifey mesti lebih enjoy.. Let me share a bit of my experience pergi sana.. There are 6 of us altogether.. me & wifey, my office mate: kak mah (ibu sari), kak ainon & abg zul & his wife..

Day 1 (8 Aug 2009)
Bertolak tepat 3.55 pm (waktu Malaysia) dgn flight AirAsia QZ.. (erm.. x sangka pulak 'on time'.. hehe..) dan tiba Soekarna-Hatta airport dlm 5 lebih (waktu Indonesia). Disambut oleh Ms. Enggar & Pak Yanto (our supir for the day..)

akhirnya sampai gak kat jakarta.. @ soekarno-hatta airport..

On d way using highway Jakarta-Bandung.. since aku kat depan.. I do all the talking dgn Pak Yanto.. erm.. surprise.. surprise.. dia selalu jadi supir utk pelakon layar lebar (filem) such as Irwansyah.. Acha..etc... then, we stopped somewhere dekat Bekasi & Citibung.. or is it Citubung or Cibutung.. erm.. whatever la.. & pekena makanan padang @ Sederhana Bintaro.. Mak aii.. banyaknya lauk.. penuh meja.. TAPI jaga2.. pilih yang nak makan saja.. or u'll end up paying all.. After that, finally sampai Bandung, we managed to reach Wisma Ganda Pura kira2 10pm.. Kesian.. our supir kat Bandung (Mas Dony) dh tunggu dari jam 6 kat hotel tu.. the hotel rates as follows:
1. Me & wifey stay at deluxe room (IDR205k weekend/185k weekdays).. kira2 RM73/66
2. K.Ainon & K.Mah at std room (IDR150k weekend/135k weekdays).. takde aircond.. kipas je.. takpe Bandung sejuk kata mereka..
3. A.Zul & wife at exec room(IDR235k weekend/210k weekdays).. ada fridge woo.. bangga a.zul..

inilah penginapan kami di Bandung

Day 2 (9 Aug 2009)
Breakfast kul 6.30 am. Nasi goreng + telur mata & air teh.. wanginya.. rasa cam bunga je.. Then 7.30am Mas Dony dtg & pick us up to Tangkuban Parahu.. sampai sana.. our supir tersilap ambil jalan.. we end up naik ikut 4wd's route.. so challenging.. cam naik kuda rasanya.. risau gila fikirkan wifey yg asyik pegang perut je.. lama pulak tu.. akhirnya jumpa gak jalan biasa ke puncak.. Di sana dpt lihat kawah gunung berapi yang besar.. what a beautiful scenery & suprisingly still active.. so we took few pics.. yg tak tahannya.. penjual souvenir.. asyik ikut je.. sampai pergi toilet pun diorg tunggu.. dahsyat betul diorang ni.. last2 aku beli juga.. baru diorg blah.. Then nampak A.zul & 3 mak dara turun ke bawah.. maybe ke kawah domas yang dikabarkan masih berasap (active).. plus ada air yg menggelegak.. boleh direbus telur.. Me & wifey tak pergi..



After that, we all singgah Rumah Mode.. There r many shops around.. ada tempat makan/minum.. I'm impressed with the place.. so neat.. thou harga barang a bit mahal.. waa.. cantiknya jaket kulit tu.. selepas penat berjalan, we all sempat makan cendol.. best jugak.. Then we went to cihampelas or cempelas or whatever la.. memandangkan hampir jam 3.. we all singgah for lunch.. erm.. makanan padang lagi.. tp rasa cam kureng sikit berbanding kat sederhana bintaro tu.. then jalan2 sekitar kawasan utk tgk2 barang yg boleh dibeli..

tgh menikmati cendol.. a.zul cuba nak enter frame

berangan jadi 'model' at Rumah Mode..

matching kete dgn vespa tu.. @ Cihampelas area

Lepas tu kira2 6pm we all singgah Toko 3.. nyaris tak leh masuk sbb tutup kul 6 rupanya.. banyak jeans yg dijual di sini.. ori beb!! murah la jugak.. teringin nak beli 505.. size 34 ada tp ketat la pulak.. kena cari 512 (relaxed straight).. tp takde size la.. (yg 'offer' la..).. I did notice that ramai plak org Malaysia kat sini.. ada yang cakap penang la.. melaka la.. macam2.. haa.. beli k.ainon beli.. beli k. mah beli.. aku tgk je la.. hehe.. Next, we all singgah Amanda Brownies beli kek kukus.. kira famous la kat sini.. kek brownies ni bole tahan 4 hari tanpa simpan kat fridge.. Whoaa.. a.zul yang paling byk beli .. smpai tak muat tgn.... takpe.. takpe.. dia kan ada fridge.. bole la simpan... erm.. kitorg pun nk tumpang simpan.. kekeke..

tgh beratur kat Amanda Brownies

Day 3 (10 Aug 2009)
6.30am- B'fast.. alamak... menu sama la pulak.. dh le kureng skit.. belasah je la.. 7.30am- all of us dh siap nk gi shopping Pasar Baru Trade Centre(PBTC).. Mas Dony dtg amik kitorang.. smpi sana.. tgk belum buka lagi.. we all mundar-mandir sekejap.. then masuk PBTC.. wifey & the ladies cam nak gila shopping.. macam-macam.. murah2 je.. blouse le.. telekung sembahyang le.. cantik menarik tertarik la jugak.. dan berjuta2 Rupiah jugak la yg habis.. bygkan dari pagi sampai la kul 2 baru abis.. damn tired.. sampai terduduk.. takcaya? tgk gambar kat bwh ni :)

Next.. we stop at kedai makan Kingsley.. according to Mas Dony.. kat sini paling famous klu nak try Batagor Goreng.. (cam tauhu bakar la skit).. pas tu minum Es Dogel.. (cam ABC la..) while the rest try "Es kelapa + alpukat (avocado)". Aku ok je.. tauhu goreng/bakar memang aku suka pun.. tapi diorang kureng skit.. wifey siap order mi bakso..

Day 4 (11 Aug 2009)
Pepagi lagi we all dh siap.. then bertolak ke Jakarta.. Hotel N1 Tanah Abang to be exact.. Diulangi!! hotel N1 bukan H1N1.. hehe.. lebih kurang 2 hrs journey from Bandung to Jakarta.. jln hiway kurang macet.. but as we nak msuk jakarta.. Mak aii.. macet bangat dong.. Finally smpi Hotel N1.. not far from Pasar Tanah Abang (blok A).. a nice hotel.. maybe because its still new.. I would recommend this hotel to others.. especially yg nak shopping kat blok A tu.. since we arrive a bit early.. we left our things at the counter then jalan-jalan kat depan hotel & kawasan sekitar.. pas tu check in.. rehat jap..

masa tiba di Hotel N1

haa.. kan cantik toilet dia.. siap ada cermin lagi..

Then around 12.30pm, all of us took Bajai (klu Thailand ada tut-tut) to Pasar Tanah Abang.. byrIDR2k je.. (RM0.70 je) nak jalan pun boleh.. (10-15 minutes walk). erm.. Ada byk tingkat.. klu textile ada tingkat dia.. klu kasut ada tingkat.. easier la... according to wifey, price kat sini lebih murah compare to Bandung.. apa lagi.. tepuk dahi la akak2 ni.. hehehe.. duit dh byk spend kat bandung.. tapi still diorang beli.. rugi katanya.. siap sampai tutup la kedai.. around 5pm.. so all the ladies berazam utk dtg lagi ke tanah abang.. siap ada contact person lagi.. Dafi ke apa ntah namanya.. tapi time balik kitorg menapak je la..

naik bajai

Day 5 (12 Aug 2009)
we wait at the hotel lobby around 8am.. then naik MPV.. Our supir's name.. Rahmat Hidayat.. and.. No! No! No!.. dia memang takde pertalian dengan Taufik Hidayat.. thou both from Bandung.. hehehe.. he was friendly.. he even can speak & understand B.Melayu a bit.. reach airport at 9.05pm.. our flight scheduled at 11.30pm.. sekali terasa gatal pulak nak tanya kat kaunter AirAsia whether ada delay tak.. tup tup.. amik ko!.. our flight delay to 3.45pm.. what??? klu delay 1-2 hr ok la.. erm.. what r we going to do for the next few hrs?? hampeh tul air asia ni.. klu inform awal bole la kitorang check out lambat sikit.. double hampeh!! last-last lepak kat airport tgk berita Nordin Mat Top/ Ibrohim.. sampai dh hafal muka Ibrohim tu..

muka masing-masing dh penat..

dlm kul 2 baru msk.. siap ada 'shootin' lagi.. wait! heroin tu cam Luna Maya je.. perghh.. rugi k.mah sbb naik flight awal 30 minit..

Finally smpi LCCT kira2 jam 7pm .. alhamdulillah.. lewat pun takpe la.. yg penting selamat.. tp for sure kena call AirAsia tanya pasal refund RM200 tu..

Keseluruhannya.. aku rasa OK jugak trip ni.. fun.. penat.. best.. sah! akak2 ni akan dtg lagi.. group lebih kurang 6 org ni kira OK la.. klu ramai sgt.. mesti kelam kabut..
