TRIP TO BANDUNG JULY 2009

Salam,


After few days back from Bandung, I've manage to write my experience in my blog... fuhh... exhausted but best giler... heheh. But ive no mood to write the long journey. So i have decided to just stress on the important place that I and my fellowship went to and few advise for your guide to Bandung in future.


14 July 2009 (Departing Day)


The flight should be on 10.00 pm, but AirAsia flight always delay, tulah yg murah tu... takper janji bleh pegi, semangat giler.... At last pkl 11.30 baru blust off . Sampai Airport Jakarta and settled everything at Immigration Counter about 2am. We cancelled our nite stay at Hotel Anugerah Transit early cause we thought tak berbaloi if we stay few hours jer and after that we have to continue our journey to Bandung. So sambil tunggu our driver (Pak Supir) kami just lepaking and tidur2 ayam di tingkat 2 (near Dunkin Donut). Ramai gak org yg lepak tidur kat sini, so tak takut sgt.


**Hot tip - Sampai kat arrival hall, stay away from 'ulat' 2 yg menawarkan macam2 perkhidmatan transport. Just straight go to musholla kat tingkat atas if you want to stay at the airport. Or take the legal taxi provided by the airport.

** Arrange your trip & your transport earlier, if u interested contact Kak Lina at teh_cumi@yahoo.co.uk . You will get good transport with honest driver with affordable price.



15 July 2009


6.30am - Pak Hery (Our Supir) with Suzuki Van sampai awal and we didnt waste time and terus off to Bandung. Takes about 3hrs drive with less macet (trafic jam)


10.00 am - Try to find By Moritz Hostel ->Pak hery said the place is too small and less safety so he drived us to the nearest cheap Hotel. He reccomended Hotel Kenangan, more safety & comfort. The rate for week day Rp200.000 per nite for standard room. Extra bed charged Rp70.000. With Nasi Goreng for breakfast... Oklah tuuu. As for me, im not too choosy, as long as safety.


10.30am - Go to Pasar Baru, just near to our hotel and we had our lunch at Lantai 6 with yummy Nasi Bobok. Sedap lah & murah... ive tried Alpokat Juice (Too thick... susah nk abis... ok2 jer)


- Dah kenyang perot apa lagi, shoping kat Pasar Baru sampai puas, hehhe. Byk gak borong kat sini. I bought telekung & blouse. Try your bargain skill here... if u are lucky u will be surprise with the lowest price
- Visit Jl Riau with the famous factory outlet such as Herritage, The Summit, Formen & Terminal Tas. Didnt buy anything here :(
- Had our dinner at Sunda Restaurant and back to hotel for deep nice sleep


16 July 2009


Pak Hery aka our Tourist Guide advise us to visit Kawah Putih first today.


7.00 am - Having Nasi Goreng telur dadar for breakfast


8.30 am - Depart from Hotel to Kawah Putih (Takes about 2-3 hrs journey)



9.30am - Stop by at Money Changer (mcm Bank jer Money Changer diorg nih, tp kat sini, mereka jual wang Rupiah dgn kadar berpatutan)



11.00am - Stop by at Strawberry farm. Best cause kat sini boleh petik sendiri strawberi sebanyak yg kita mahu. Sambil petik, sambil makan (hehe). Sekilo Rp30.000 (RM10.50), yg dah makan masa petik free jer.


***Tip: Kalau nak beli strawberi petik sendiri jgn pegi area nak ke Tangkuban Perahu coz harganya lebih mahal (abt Rp65.000) & jgn lupa beli dodol strawbery, sedap & boleh bawa balik 4 souvenier.



12.00pm - Move to Kawah Putih, bekas kawasan gunung berapi yang cantik & dingin. Must visit here. (Entrance Fee = Rp10.000 per person)



2.30 pm - Going down to tea plantation, ambik gambar sat.... nice view



3.30 pm - Visit Kolam Renang Air Panas Walini (Entrance Fee Rp12.000). Rugi jer pergi sini, takder apa2, kolam renang biase jer, tiadayang istimewa except, airnya hangat je. Not recomended place.



4.30 pm - Back to Bandung City & stop by at Cibaduyut (Lether Street), bought lether wallet for me & my hubby here :)



8.00 pm - Dinner at Sunda Restaurant. Must try, ayam kampung goreng, daging kepal, daging salai & most important, hot sambal, perghhhhh... (Murah gak kat sini)
Pastu, dah tak larat terus balik hotel & tidor...



17 July 2009


Trip to Tangkuban Perahu (Perahu Terbalik)


8.00 am - Berangkat dari hotel menuju ke Tangkuban Perahu. Tempat ni adalah legenda dari kisah Sang Kuriang dan ibunya.


9.30am - Reached Tangkuban Perahu. Suasana sungguh nyaman dan windy. For me tempat ni lebih best dari Kawan Putih (the scenery lah) . But the entrance fees much more expensive than Kawah Putih. Per person cost Rp35.000.



**Tips:

1. Terlalu ramai penjaja jalanan yang akan memujuk anda untuk membeli jualan mereka. If u really think you are interested and like to buy then you can ask the price and start bargain. If you think 50/50, better dont ask. Especially after they agreed with the bargain, if you dont buy, they will get mad. Just ignore them ok.


2. If you interested to go down to Kawah Domas, jungle tracking abaout 1km, try to avoid the tourist guide. You will get POW muahahahahah.

11.00am - Going down to Bandung City to continue visit at Factory Outlet. Before that we stop by at Gerai Sate Kelinci Pak Sapri for lunch. We ordered Sate Kelinci (Rabbit) & Gulai Kelinci. Nyum nyum... enak bangat. Except kat sini jual daging arnab jer tp takde sayur-sayuran. Feel awkward cause i always take vegi in my diet... huhuu.

12.30pm - Visit Rumah Mode, Grande, Blossom, Jetset & Episode. I bought nice & soft Bally wallet AGAIN for my hubby, 2 blouses my self heheh (Ofcourse its PURPLE.. muahahah )
& 2 gaun for each my 2 girls.

3.30pm - Visit Cihampelas Streets. This area are famous with jeans. I bought one pair only. The jeans is very comfortable eventho its an unbranded jeans but its hard to find jeans with my size & the cutting that i like.



7.30pm - Visit Paris Van Java & having dinner at Mie Baso



8.30pm - Go back to hotel and packing for our departure tomorrow.



18 July 2009



8.00am - Check out from the hotel. The hotel cost us Rp 1620.000 for 2 rooms & 3 nites stay. About Rp270.000 per person. Its cheap! (RM95 sorang untuk 3 mlm, kat Malaysia ada ker?)



8.30am - Singgah kat Kartika Sari, beli brownies & Pisang Molen. Pisang molen nyer sedap sgt, dlm keta makan time panas2 cicah ngan coklat... perghhhh.
Heading to Jakarta, got trafic jam cause of accident by the treller. **Tips: Kalau flight petang, dri jakarta, better gerak dr Bandung awal pagi untuk mengelakkan perkara diluar jangkaan.



1.30 pm - Sampai Jakarta stop at Mangga 2. Dah tak larat nak jalan so we just having our lunch here.



3.30pm - Sampai Airport. Unfortunately, our flight back to Kuching delayed again till 9pm!



Thank God, Syukur alhamdulillah selamat sampai di Kuching 11.10 pm. Semuanya selamat walaupun ada Trajedi Pengeboman di Jakarta semalam & penularan virus H1N1 yg belum reda.



See u next year Bandung. InsyaAllah kalau ada rezeki.

My Hobby - Flowers!!

Assalamualaikum & hello my friends,

In this post i would like to share one of my hobbies that is gardening, more specifically flowers!. Before my vacation to Bandung i was busy rearranging my small garden in my yard. Tho it is small, still i was felt aching around my body transferring the soil and plant the Philippine grass. Now i can say its 70% done before i left it for a while for my bandung trip. I was plan to make my own fish pond but may be it will be done later.

These are the flowers that blooming in my garden right now. Hope you enjoy it. I tried to find the scientific name for the flower and hope it was the right name.

Dendrobium sp
(This is my precious purple orchids, the bloom can stand till a month!)

Euphorbia Milli - Mahkota berduri
(My dearest mom give me this flower. I like its cute blossom)

Dendrobium sp
(This is the first bloom, lama gak tunggu nih)



Scarlet Spiral Flag - Costus Woodsonii
(This is one of my favourite)

Desert rose - Adenium Hybrid or Kemboja Cina
(This flower is very easy to maintain)

This is one of my favourite but I dont know what is the name of this flower. Can someone tell me?

I will update more of my flower snap from time to time. hope u enjoy it... see u soon

My Plannig to Jakarta - Bandung

Salam,

Kali ni dasz nak share betapa excitednyer perasaan kerana beberapa hari lagi iaitu pada 14 Julai 2009 nanti dasz and the gang akan ke Jakarta dan Bandung, yuhuuuu.....

Untuk preparation kesana, dasz dan kawan dah beli tiket air asia seawal bulan 4 lagi. Masa tu tiket kuching - jakarta memang murah, cuma RM200+ je. Kepada pembaca yg ada hasrat nak pegi januari next year ada tiket lagi murah. RM51 jer untuk pergi dan balik. Fuyooo... murah tu, boleh pegi lagi heheheh.

Pastu dasz pun cuba cari seberapa banyak information di internet dan dari member-member yang pernah pergi.

Mengikut kata seorang blogger yg dasz tak ingat nama blog nye kalau tak silap Arniblog. Dia kata kalau nak kesana better you rent a car sekali dengan supirnya (driver). Ini kerana bagi kita yang baru first time nak pegi, boleh kalau nak pakai pengangkutan awam, memang lebih murah tetapi kita akan banyak membuang masa, kena tekan oleh taxi driver yg tidak beretika dan yang penting mesti penat kan. So daripada advise tersebut dasz pun nekadlah sewa kereta yang besar untuk menampung 6 org dewasa termasuk dengan luggage sekali. Perkhidmatan ni kira agak murah compare to others & orang tengah yang berurusan adalah orang Malaysia. Tapi dasz tak tahu lagi macam mana servis tu nanti. Balik dari sana nanti dasz akan komen lagi.

Kami bercadang untuk duduk dihotel atau hostel yang termurah di sana nanti so dalam list adalah Hostel 35 di Jakarta dan By Moritz di Bandung. (This trip is meant for shopping ok). Sekali lagi dasz akan komen bila dah balik.

Ok dasz akan share lagi experience kat sana bila dah balik nanti. Sekarang dasz nak listkan tempat nak pergi dan barang yang nak beli ni. Duit indon pun dah tukar ni,heheh. Jumpa di Bandung... yuk!

Genting Highland Journey

Salam,

Ok pengalaman yang pertama yang dasz nak share kat sini adalah pengalaman melancong ke Genting Highland baru-baru ni. Im sure a lot of blog yang banyak menyiarkan tentang Genting. But still I want to share the experience which might be different from others and might be this can be the guidance for others yang belum pernah ke Genting. Im sure ramai lagi rakyat Malaysia yang belum pernah pergi Genting kan?

Dasz pergi Genting dengan hubby and both of my daughters pada 17 Jun lepas. Plan nak pergi ni dah lama dirancang dan tiket flight kuching-kl dah beli sejak Disember 2008 lagi. Masa tu bersyukur kerana dapat tiket murah, only RM940 for 4 of us. For those yang merancang nak pergi Genting tu, booklah tiket awal. So ikuti perjalanan kami seterusnya...

Day 1: 17 june 2009 (Wed)

I woke up seawal 5am untuk kemaskan barang keperluan especially barang anak-anak, takut ada yang tertinggal. Biasalah barang budak perempuan dua orang tu (6 and 4 yrs old) mesti nak complete. Tak boleh tertinggal satu pun. After that dah kemas semua, tak payah dikejutkan (selalu kalau sekolah payah betul nak bangun ), automatik bangun sendiri & mandi sebab terlalu excited nak pergi vacation. My second daughter yang paling excited sebab dah lama janji dengan dia nak bawa pergi naik airplane. Selalunya kalau dasz pergi outstation, dia selalu nak ikut tapi nak buat macam mana, atas urusan rasmi bukannya boleh bawa budak.

Bila dah dalam kapalterbang she was so excited and insisted to sit near the window. Awal-awal dasz dah bekalkan mentos untuk diorang kunyah semasa take off supaya telinga diorang tak rasa sakit cause of the low pressure in the cabin.

Tepat jam 10.45am, flight kami landing kat KLIA dengan selamatnya. Sampai kat arrival hall, saja-saja nak tanya berapa cab pergi Genting, the taxi lady said RM140. Wow... mahal giler. So we decided to take a bus to KL Central and from KL Central to Genting. The bus rate KLIA-KL Central is RM10 per head. Kat sini dasz nak nasihatkan anda supaya menjauhi ulat-ulat taxi and bus yang ada so pergi terus kat bus station KLIA dan cari bas yang nak gerak dalam masa terdekat. Tak payah nak tunggu bas penuh dulu baru jalan. Membuang masa dan anak-anak pun cepat jemu.

We arrived at KL central dalam 12 something. Sampai sana terus carik tiket bas untuk pergi genting. The rate is RM8.70 for adult and RM6 something for children. But at that time, the bus yg gerak jam 1pm & 2pm was full. Cuma yang 3pm jer yang still available. So the exact time sampai Genting is around 5pm. Macam mana ni? Takkan nak tunggu 2 jam lagi kat KL central doing nothing. Plus my kids mesti akan buat hal sebab kebosanan & keletihan. So i discussed with my hubby to take a taxi. At last kami terpaksa tunduk kepada ulat taxi yang menawarkan untuk menghantar kami hingga ke pintu masuk FirstWorld hotel dengan rate RM100. Dalam hati berkata, menyesal aku tak ambik taxi dari KLIA tadi huhuu. I negotiate with the taxi driver, then he agreed RM85 untuk bawa kami ke atas sebab katanya time tu cable car yang nak bawa ke Genting highland. It will take 1 hour from KL town to Genting.

The journey nak sampai ke Genting Highland amat mengasyikkan. Penuh dengan kehijauan dan udara yang nyaman. Sampai di main entrance FirstWorld, kami disambut dengan pemandangan indah lampu-lampu neon yang melingkari pokok-pokok buatan. Sangat cantik. Semasa dilobi kami berasa amat terkejut melihat begitu ramai nya manusia memenuhi ruang lobi. Tak sangka bukan time cuti sekolah pun ramai giler orang yang pergi sana. Most of them are from China, Singapore and middle east. Ramai customer yang tengah que untuk check-in dan lebih ramai lagi yang duduk melepak untuk menunggu bilik yang kosong. Nasib baik kami dah book bilik awal dengn rate RM88.80 pernite plus 2 breakfast so dasz cuma que sekejap dan terus check-in dengan kiosk yang terdekat. Alhamdulillah akhirnya dapat melepaskan lelah di tilam hotel yang biliknya terlalu kecil and limited facilities. But never mind, i was thinking that we are far better than others yang kat lobi tu yg masih menunggu ada tak bilik untuk mereka.

.

Lepas berehat sebentar kami tak membuang masa terus pergi ke theme park untuk join game kat sana. Nilah masanya yang ditunggu-tunggu my kids, and offcourse their parents too, heheh. We bought the ticket for all parks (outdoor & indoor park), so dapat main dengan puas hati. The ticket is RM167 for 4 (2 adults, 2 kids). For me its worth provided you have to fully enjoy almost all the games. Nasib baik my kids pun yg jenis tahan lasak. Sampai ke malam pun diorang masih tahan lagi. Their favorites was the car ride inside the FW indoor park.

Before proceed to the Indoor Park we bought the ticket to enter the Snow Park first. Takut tak de tiket. So we manage to bought the slot at 10.30pm and it's cost RM54 for 4 including the jackets, glove and boots. Masa masuk tu, memang terasa sejuk giler, but my kids seronok sangat walaupun mengigil-gigil, heheh. Sempat lagi mintak photographer ambik gambar cause kat dalam tu tidak dibenarkan untuk membawa kamera. So you have to keep all your belonging dalam locker yang disediakan diluar (kena bayar RM 1 gak tuh).

Bila dah keluar masa nak tunggu gambar siap rupa-rupanya chip camera diorang rosak lah pulak. So the attendance asked us to come back tomorrow morning for photo shoot only for free. Around 12midnite, kami terus balik ke bilik, my kids pun dah exausted giler. Bagi susu jer terus tidur....

Day 2

At 9am, kami pergi breakfast yang disediakan di hotel cafe. Mak ai, macam semalam, ramai nyer orang. Makanan sentiasa habis, dan orang que sana sini. So kami pun makanlah apa yang ada kat depan mata yang senang untuk dicapai.

Jam 10.30am kami pergi lagi ke snow park seperti yang dijanjikan. Dasz sempat beli gloves kecik for my kids dan ear protector sekali, cause glove yang kat snow park terlalu besar utk mereka, selalu jer terbuka. Nampak lebih cute dalam gambar. After the photo shoot we wait for the picture. The picture worth RM60, 2 (5R size) & 2 (A4 size). Ok la, cause gambar nampak real.

At 12.30pm, we checkout from the hotel and take a bus to stesen Titiwangsa. Pas tu terus ambik teksi ke Cititel Midvalley. Lepas ni, shoping kat KL lah pulak....

My First Personal Blog

Assalamualaikum & Salam sejahtera,

First of all, salam perkenalan buat semua reader. My name is Dasima and you can call me dasz, itu panggilan dr sekolah menengah lagi dan melekat sampai sekarang.

Well, tujuan utama menulis blog ni hanyalah untuk menitipkan bingkisan tentang hidup dasz dan untuk berkongsi pengalaman perjalanan yang dilalui sepanjang hidup ini. Im not so fluent in English (dengan rasa rendah dirinya) but im trying to mix around my written in both malay & eng language.

Sebenarnya ini penulisan blog dasz yang kedua dimana blog pertama yang dasz tulis adalah untuk blog robot soccer politeknik kuching sarawak. Tak nak cerita pasal robot soccer lah kat sini cause you all can surf to my pks robot soccer blog if you want to know more information about that matter.

So hopefully blog ni akan dapat memberi sedikit sebanyak informasi yang boleh dikongsi dan silalah memberi komen2 yang membina agar dasz boleh memantapkan diri dalam bidang penulisan blog ni pada masa akan datang. Terima kasih
