I seriously do not understand what perspective do they have of us Bruneians but let me make one thing clear: we understand bahasa Indonesia okay? Hahah.. I mean seriously,  discussing and saying stuff in indonesian about us, IN FRONT of us where we can hear AND understand you is kind of amusing. Honestly, we may necessarily don't understand some slangs or abbreviations but we definitely can catch up and get the gist of what they say. Cali lah pokoknya..Hahah. One real example, there we were sitting, waiting for our lecturer to come in and then out of the blue one of them said class was cancelled. The girl was all, "Wah anjing kamu! Kelas di cancel kok ngak di kasitau awal sih! Ya udah ayuk kita pegi detos aja?" *turns around and with an british accent* "Owh the class is cancelled by the way." *turns back around.*

We understand okay? Hahah.

2 days ago I went to Jakarta and just jalan-jalan at their malls. Well, namely I went to Grand Indonesia Mall, Central Park Mall and Taman Anggrek Mall. I went to Jakarta because I had a sole mission: to give Amin his Maggi Laksa. Haha. Au banar. I wanted to give him his Maggi because batah sudah in my possession. Resahku so I want him to have it and be done with it. Alhamdulillah I gave it to him lah ah. Hahah. So anyways our first mall was Grand Indonesia Mall and I gotta say, DAMN. Selama ani I haven't seen the city of Indonesia lah ah.

Okay, selama I went to Indonesia which was like, 4 times; I've always went to the places of the likes of Mangga Dua, Pasar Baru and Senayan City. All are totally opposite worlds: cheap and alot of it not my style while the other is too expensive like shit I couldn't afford. So when I first entered Grand Indonesia Mall I was like, Omg. That's freaking large and every store I love is in there! And they were so many people I love it! I thought to myself now THAT'S SHOPPING! It felt like Singapore and seriously I don't understand why Indonesians would go outside of their country to shop. They got it all right here! Even my friends said something similar; how refreshing it is to go around here, how all the people in there looks like celebrities and how awesome the stuff were. It was Imlek (CNY) so there were alot of sales as well and omg, I see shopping in Indonesia in a new light now. The malls we went to did not disappoint.

My driver while I was travelling with my parents here last time said a lot has changed in Indonesia especially the central city. It's cleaner now, there's more order and services; and also it's just nicer now. All because of the president and I gotta say, he's right. The clean up around Monas I've got to say a right thing to do because you see the city as a city now; cleaner. The buses having orders now etc. It's cool.

It's expensive of course, what with the pajak (building taxes) and service taxes when you eat outside but honestly though I do not see Indonesia as it was now that I've seen the city. It opened my eyes and seriously I cannot wait to shop around there. Hahah.

Hey there,

2 weeks have passed since I left home and last week I went to Bandung with Muiz and sister. It was a 5 days trip and yeay! It was fun! We didn't go to any of those tourist-y places and we instead just went to malls and the outlets. We ate at the cafes and just chilled out. I love it there.

His Favourite Restaurant

 Our first dinner was at Trans Studio Mall. Since we live at Ibis Hotel Trans Studio, the mall was just outside our hotel entrance and we ate at this restaurant called A Taste of Palatte I think? I forgot the name but it was delicious. Hehe. There were alot more restaurants in there so make sure you eat around in there aight? As fancy as it looked, the price was just the same like $3-$6. Bahagia lah ah. Hahah..

A beautiful mosque just outside the Mall.

Pepper Lunch at Paris Van Java.

We also went to Paris Van Java; one of the famous mall in Bandung. The mall was so pretty since the design follows a European style and there's H&M over there! Hahah. The restaurants were pretty as well so eating there was relaxing since the weather was quite cool and windy.

Rumah Mode

 Rumah Mode is a must visit outlet. It was so fun there! I regret not going there any sooner before I bought this $40 H&M dress. Mmph, nyasal! The place is really cool and it literally looks, feels like a house. There's cafes and atm (in case you need the extra money) and so many clothes!!! Bahagiaku disana especially since most of the clothes only cost below $20! Pretty blouses and pants! I was in heaven. I wasn't planning on buying but trust me, I did. Mmph. Hahah.. Please, visit Rumah Mode before you visit H&M. You won't regret it.

Monte Carlos jamming.

Me doing some Braga performance#bragastyle

 I finally went to Braga Street! We went around during the evening and I get to see alot of the pretty and old dutch designed buildings. We walked along the path but only managed to go half way I think because we thought that was it as we went into a mall there. The mall wasn't much but there was a performance session in there and omg, the singer killed it! He had such a lovely voice to the point we went into a restaurant just to see him sing. Then, I sang! HAHA. Seriously I sang. No comment. Dangar saja tia. Lol!

Pizza Hut lunch at Cihampelas Walk

Cihampelas Walk is so pretty! One of the malls there as well and the buildings/area was built in accordance the surroundings nature (as in they didn't cut the trees to create the building. It was so pretty and cool. Alot of cafes and restaurants and I think most of the youngsters lepak there.

Teatime at another cafe in Paris Van Java

Trans Studio Amusement Park

 An indoor amusement park; Trans Studio Amusement Park. I like it since it's indoor so it's quite cool! You don't need to bepanas terik while playing and it only costs you around $18! I tried everything except the crazy rides and it was well worth it! It was fun! Money worth!



I finally got to taste Nanny's Pavilion at my place with them! I've to say it's quite good and with that kind of ambiance and quality; money's worth! I'd like to try the desserts next time.

Yeah, they stayed at my place in Depok for a day before they went back home and I got to say, Alhamdulillah we had fun. Hehe. Bandung is a must visit I must say. The weather's cool and there's alot of cafes to go to. The places be it of the nature or man-made are so pretty over there and the people are so nice. I personally think it's quite cheaper rather than Jakarta and even my place. It was worth the trip and I'd like to go there once more to visit the nature!

That's all!
