Tahukah anda bahawa Fella Design telah berpindah to its new big showroom/warehouse/factory @ Bukit Subang?

Ha! kalau tak tau ni nak habaq mai lar :-) Previously it was located at Jalan TUDM Subang sana nun. Hat dulu tu kecik jar. 1 floor jar. Tapi hat baru ni mak oii! besar bertingkat2. Lenguh lutut lar kalo Cikjah pi sana :-) Senang jer nak cari sebab it's opposite Denai Alam. Disebabkan cek ni penggemar english concept, maka sumer furniture Fella ni sangatlah bersesuaian dengan home concept cek.

Big & ample parking at Fella Bukit Subang

Penah jugak cek pi tengok Homelife, Ikea, Macy or etc, tapi tak sesuwei..a little bit too modern untuk cek.

Last 2 weeks cek pi Fella ni, tapi tersangatlah regretnya sebab ter'miss' their moving out sale sometime in Nov..(sibuk p holiday) Ceh! kaw-kaw punya sale tu. Penah cek pi Fella sale masa kat Subang dulu tuh...fuyooo! dasat giler. Wing chairs, arm chairs, stools and etc murah tak hingat punya. Tapi kena cepat kalau tidak, tinggai khemah jer lar :-P

Sampai ada one time tuh cek hampir terjerumus kearah perebutan dengan Kakyam2 kat situ. Berebut wing chair! Tinggai satu plak tuh. Segak lar wing chair tuh, English style, roses print and pastel colour. Hang jeling aku, aku jeling hang...nasib baik cek pantas. Cek suruh Kaktah cepat2 duduk kat wing chair tu. Cek p panggil saleman... fuh!!! dapat woooo :-)
Tapi ada lagi cantik dari hat yang cek dapat tuh. Tapi sumer dah sold. Dah siap bungkus, tunggu nak deliver jar. Kaknab, Kakpah lagi terer, depa mai hari Jumaat. Tak keja agaknya. Amik cuti/mc pi serbu sale Fella :-P

Bayangkan kalau normal price utk wing chair dalam rm700-1000 tinggai rm300-rm400 jer...isk..isk...
If u are looking for good quality fabric (mmg tak dak kat tempat lain), masa sale ni lar best. Left over fabric yang they used to made sofa or cushion sell at very cheap price. Pre-cut around 1-3m per set. Lepas lar kalau nak buat cushion cover, table runner or table mat..(creative lar skit)

Tapi takpa lar nak buat macam mana kan, tak dak rezeki...(slamat duit cek..hehee)

Tapi masa my visit that day, ada jugak sale. Grand opening+xmas sale. Tak banyak lar. takat 30-40% discount on selected items. They also have their newly open PJ branch at Damansara Utama. Ok jugak tapi less option. They have more on modern, bali and zen concept.



This time I'm looking for sofa set...tqwaf showroom tu, berkali2 punya lar nak cari idaman qalbu.
Belek hat tu belek hat ni, takmau yang bulky sangat. nanti nampak living hall cek sempit. My base colour is off white or seumpamanya. Setelah pelbagai soalan diajukan kepada saleman 'lenchai' yg berasal dari Penang dan baru keja 6 bulan yg lalu (cehh..sempat interview) tu, akhirnya pencarian for almost 2.5hrs berakhir dengan 3+2 seater sofa. Huh! lar ni orang dah tak pakai dah aihh 3+2+1 seater concept. Out dated tau :-P
Today, style is all about the mix. The old rules about everything matching no longer apply :-)

Lagi pun cek ada wing chair & stool to match with this new set. Tapi my set ni special skit. Cek request custome made. So, basically tukar fabric for body and cushions. Cek pilih my own fabric to match with my wall colour, curtains and home concept. Ha! bukan senang tau nak hias rumah ni...penin!

Disebabkan custome made, I have to wait for 3-4 weeks. Sebab depa nak kena buat semua baru and sepatutnya dapat discount 30% tapi +- tinggai 20%. Tak pa lar, janji heppi :-D (janji fella heppi dapat $$$) lagipun disebabkan ayat power kat saleman tu cek dapat free delivery :-)

Masuk jer kat showroom tuh fuh! rasa mcm sumer nak beli...rasa macam sumer cantik ($ pun cantik). Tapi paling best their cafe. (self-service free drinks for customer) walaupun instant made by Nescafe coffee maker, tapi sedap & convenient. Free flow. Lepas dah bayar2 tu kira nyaman lar kalau lepak2 dulu kira account balance kar, credit limit kar...kahkahkahh

Women & shoes! huh! memang tak dapat dipisahkan. Ibarat roti dan canai or teh dan tarik...hahaha

My interest is always on shoes..shoes..and shoes. Walaupun kaki ni dianugerahkan cuma sepasang kiri dan kanan, tapi kasut yang ada tu berpuluh2 pasang malah ada juga orang lain yang sampai ratusan or ribuan pasang...iskk..iskk..


Entahlah..mungkin dah sinonim kot kasut ni untuk wanita. Say shoe jer dah nampak sexy..huh! yer ker? ada jugak yang pakai kasut tapi tak nampak sexy pun :=* (sebab tu lar kena rajin basuh beruih-beruih kaki tu skeet)
Pertama kali memiliki kasut idaman? hemmm...tak ingat. Tapi seawal2 ingatan while I was at standard 4 macam tu lah..First shoe pilihan sendiri...kasut sekolah lar :-P

My dad bagi permission choose yang mana pilihan hati...waktu tu kan tengah meletup2 kasut cap Pallas Sinaran..fuh! glam gilerz la kalo waktu tu p sekolah pakai kasut sinaran..meqelip-qelip. Lip-lap lip lap kalo kena pantulan cahaya...member sebelah sure jeles jer..hehee

Pastu, masuk boarding school dah mula ada duit sendiri. Simpan2 dari duit blanja tu. Tak lar banyak cam anak2 mat saleh dapat allowance tuh..bulih lar. Outing beli kasut. Tapi takder lar yang glam2..nanti ustazah marah :-P tapi kalo dihitung2 tuh kira cek ni up to date jugak lar kat skolah tuh...ikut perkembangan fesyen jugak lar kan ..ahaks!

Zaman primary school tu tengah glam kasut tebal hat macam burger tu. Pakai 10tahun pun tak haus tapak..kahkahkahh.

Pastu masa kat Uitm, baru lar mula merasa pakai high heel. Takder lah 3-4 inci. Buat permulaan 1/2 - 1 inci jar...sat gi takut kalahkan lecturer plak. Masa tu ballet shoe hat tengah popular skrg ni blum ada lagi. Paling hebat that time was loafer...Fuh! disitulah bermulanya trend pakai baju kurung dengan loafer...hahahah..nak ketawa pun ada kalo diingatkan balik. Sebab senang nak run here and there cacth up the classes. Sekarang kalo suruh pakai macam tuh, tobat tak mau..I've got 1 pair of brown loafer that time. I love that shoe so much! tapi dah kena curi..iskk.iskk..Nasib baik cap Bata jer bukan Dr Cardin or Designer shoe.

Bila dah kerja nih..hem! bermulalah my real collection. Kalo dikira2 campur tolak bahagi dah lebih 100pairs I've collected and still collecting :-P
Sampai kat sumer shoe boxes tuh, cek label & pasted gambar kasut2 tuh. Susah nak recognized sbb dalam box. Ada yang blum penah pakai lagi, and sometimes ada yang terlupa :-P
Agaknya nanti kalau kaya skit (amin) kena buat closet macam Sarah Jessica Parker kot :-))

Kalo secara tepatnya dalam RM dah hebu-hebu henget dah. But from time to time cek buat spring cleaning, kalo yang rasa2 dah out dated tuh sedekah2 kat orang. Simpan pun tak pakai.

Dulu masa gaji kecil-kecilan (skrg pun kecik jugak), takat kasut Vinci jer mampu beli. Vinci brand actually quite ok. Sometimes their design very outstanding but sometimes ntah hapa2. Paling penting kena pandai memilih nak suit with your outfit la kan. Baru lar bila pakai nampak gorgeous n sexy. Yeah! Tapi awas! Vinci shoe ni murah sbb tapak kasut not so good and very slippery... and sometimes when buying shoe pun kena consider jugak its lining. Fabric, velvet, suede, leather or etc. Kalo fabric, velvet or suede nanti cepat kotor & can see your foot print on it. Bila parking (especially) depan rumah orang nampak so ugly. Muka cantik, baju kelasss, bombshell body tapi kasut..arggg yarck!

I'm not a branded consious person. Asalkan ianya nampak cantik, different from others and good on me - i love it! Tak semestinya yang mahal itu cantik dan yang murah itu huduh. Sebab tu lar diciptakan istilah "CITARASA". Pandai pilih, good taste and ukur baju dibadan sendiri insyaallah nampak cantik semuanya.

Kalo santai2 cek prefer wedges shoes. Tak sakit kaki tapi still look fabulous. If working, definitely full cover shoe. It looks more pro & elegant. Tapi sorry lar, I'm not leather shoe fan macam kasut Bonia tuh... rasa macam cikgu2...heheee..BTW, don't get me wrong. They look good on kaki cikgu. Maybe sebab cek bukan cikgu kot :-) Teringat cikgu Math cek masa Form 3 dulu-Cikgu Fatimah. Cengei nak mampuih! sebatu lagi dah dengar bunyi tapak kasut dia. Maklumlah kasut kulit. Ketaq larrrrr...
What do you think of peep-toe shoe? At first I thought it was so funny. Yer lar, terjulur jari2 kaki. Huduh. But since I've got one 4 inch vibrant red colour peep-toe by Guess - emmm not bad though. Fab!
Sekarang ni tengah tunggu, bila lar ada rejeki nak beli kasut Aldo...huh!

Most i hate is ankle strap shoe. Eventhough it looks extremely sexy but hard to wear! Orang sumer dah masuk keta, kita baru terhegeh2 nak pakai kasut.
Before i end, this is my tip for all ladies out there- rajin2 lar basuh or lap2 kasut yang dipakai tu...baru lar mencerminkan penampilan dan personality. Ni tidak, dah 3tahun pakai tapi sekali pun tak penah lap kasut tu..basuh? jauh skali lar.. eiiiii..please lar...and kalo kasut tak dipakai, susun & simpan nicely in a box. Bukan main baling2 kat shoes rack tu. Tak manis right? :-'

Pattaya...hemmm..what can i say about this place? ermmmm..not that awesome and not that bad either. But certainly not my taste. If I've been given a choice, I won't pick this place :-P but no harm to go, see, explore & learning about other people's culture. It's definitely a place for men!!!

Pattaya is located 2hrs from Bangkok. It is developed from the bay. Initially, it was a fishing village with a lot of restaurants, bars, discotheques, hotels, spa parlours, massage centres & women!

Been there march last year and stayed at Long Beach Garden Hotel & Spa which is about 10minutes from Pattaya town. Not exactly in town as town will be too hectic & busy with people & running vehicles.

Hotel was ok but pretty small room. View was fantastic looking up direct to the ocean and thumbs up to the garden landscape - beautiful! The worst was the communication! even the 4star hotel staff couldn't speak english well :-(

I became confused and so so confuseddd when hotel staff (front desk & housekeeping) did not understand a basic & normal hotel amenity request - an "IRON"! I even went down to explain & described to them what an iron is since they didn't get it when i tried to explain thru the phone :-(( still the front desk even the duty officer can't understand an iron. Huh! poor people. They have ruined my day as i cannot wear what i supposed to wear.

Another problem was food! arghhhhhh! no halal food served at most of the hotels. I knew & noted about this before departed...and that was why i carried number of packs of maggie mee & chocolate bars! huhuhuuhu...it is definitely not a holiday if you can't enjoy local good food! other than that I only took seafood & fresh fruits.


From clockwise: my room view 1, massage by the beach at the hotel, walkway to the pool, my room view 2

Pattaya beach is dirty & unattractive but no worries, just take 30minutes boat ride to the nearest island called Koh Lan. It's not a surprise if this island become so crowded especially around 11am - 2pm as this island promises you white sandy beaches with crystal clear blue water, number of seafood restaurants, gift & handcraft shops located along the beach and a lot of water sport activities - just name it.

While here I went to Ripley's Believe It or Not museum located inside Royal Garden Plaza in front of Beach Road. The museum features 10 individually themed galleries with over 300 fascinating & weird real exhibits. Exactly what we seen on TV! I meant not the items but Dean Cain...hahahhaha

Shopping was ok but Thailanese is a bit rough & not friendly compare to Indonesian. You can bargain but don't expect much and their concept is either you take it or leave it. They won't call u back. Maybe because Pattaya is a year round tourist attraction, so they are a bit demanding...but no regret since most of the items are cap ayam ;-* unless you go to upscale shopping malls.
Koh Lan Island @ noon time

These beach seats available at certain price ok...

Seafood lunch while at Koh Lan island. Yummilicious but not for the mud crabs :-P (most left) - cannot eat leiii
While here in Pattaya, make sure to try Thai traditional massage...arrghhhhhh! so refreshing...2hrs is pretty good enough. More than that you'll be like timber trunk..painful weiii kena lambung2, lipat2 :-D
Is this photo awesome? personally i love this snap. I took this while watching sunset at hotel's beach.

Before I go further, pleaseee..don't get confuse between Pangkor Island (PI) and Pangkor Laut Resort (PLR). Mostly people do ;-P. Tracked down my unforgettable memories back in year 2006...let's share the holiday experience...

Pangkor Laut Resort is a privately owned island located nearby to Pangkor Island wholly managed & owned by YTL Resort. This piece of paradise has been 2 million years in the making, and here you will find one of the world’s premier awards winning resorts nestling in the shade of forest giants as old as the land. You will find no other resorts – just secluded bays curled around pristine beaches, evening skies woven with colour, and a deep sense of serenity reserved exclusively for all guests.


Infinity pool at PLR overlooking the ocean

A combination of luxury, natural beauty and age-old wilderness woven together to produce an environment where peace and magically memorable moments are the currency. Nature is respected here, almost revered, and it rewards visitors in ways that simply need to be experienced.

Pangkor Laut consist of three properties - the PLR itself, the Spa Village and the most expansive is the Estate.

Pool at Spa Village

How to reach this island? Simply take an hour big & comfy ferry ride at PLR owned ferry counter at Lumut jetty. The ferry can accomodate about 40-45paxs/trip. Upon arrival at the island, you'll be greeted by a group of musician who will welcome your stay...hemmmm so aloha.. :-)

My room is at first floor Garden Villa. Set amidst the lush tropical gardens of the Resort and housed in double-storey units. The villas on the ground floor have a huge bathtub in a private courtyard while the bathrooms in the villas on the first floor open out to a view of the surrounding rainforest. These villas located near to reception hall, Feast Village Restaurant, Gift shop, Library and etc. But I found the ground floor is better & more romantic because of the open air bathtub :-)

Because of the generous size of the island, walking from one place to another will be quite distance. Don't worry! There is complimentary 4w shuttle service provided at scheduled time to drive you within the island. What u have to do is wait at any of the pick up points available around the island.

Royal Bay Beach Club restaurant located at main pool

Food at PLR means heaven! Extremely delicious with more than 5 restaurants to choose for. Just pick your restaurant to experience a fine dining at this 5star resort -Fisherman's Cove, Uncle Lim's Kitchen, Royal Bay Beach Club, Chapman's Bar and few more. The most I can't forget is Terrayaki Beef at Royal Bay Beach Club...emmmm.yummyy..gulpp..gulppp...or perhaps after swimming or relaxing at Emerald Beach, you could have lunch at Chapman's Bar. A restaurant laid by the beach with blue skies roofted, sea breeze walled & white sandy floored...whoooo goshhhhh

Yummmmyyylicious meals from clockwise: Fish & Chips, Choco Ice-cream, Terrayaki beef and Fisherman catch..huh!

Daily breakfast is served at Feast Village, a restaurant facing the Garden view villas and overlooking the ocean. Friendly peacocks & peahans mingle freely around the restaurant especially during breakfast. Peacock especially will come close and sometimes spread its wings to impress you with their beauty! whooaaaa..pretty bird

Do you known that Spa Village has been ranked as Number One in the World in Top 100 List?!..hemmm...beside that there are many more awards won by this resort and it has been ranked the foremost paradise vacation spot and spa on the planet. ..and it’s right here in Malaysia.

Care to pamper yourself for unforgettable massage overlooking the ocean?


...well, that is Pangkor Laut Resort - "one island one resort"

hallo? anyone home? hallo?
huh! dah nak bersawang dah blog nih..heheeehe..bz lar :-
so..apa story ni weih? ntah..hemmm 8-`

citer pasal concert 3Diva lah..ok? citer bersawang last year..but sweet memory untill this moment..peduli haper kan..my blog..my story lar :-P
tapi mesti dengki punyalah korang..hihihihi

Was watching tv that one particular nite, suddenly came accross Muzik @ Ria..tengok2 camtu jer.Then Hani announced 1 contest.Kalo menang dapat backstage+concert ticket jumpa KD! Uthe & Titi :-O whoooooaaaaaa. I love KD so muchhh! my fav singer!I have all her albums. Original of course...
Soalannya:
Siapakah 3Diva dan mengapa anda harus dipilih untuk memenangi pertandingan ini?

kacang jer ;-)

Esok tu lupa pun nak e-mail the answer. After 2 days baru tingat..sajer jer lar e-mail. Salah e-mail plak tu..antar jer to 2-3 different address. kalo dapat, dapat lar.. Tak payah pikir2 pun how to answer the Q. Tulis sekali jer..jeng..jeng..jeng..

Jawapannya!:
Kepada penerbit Muzik@ Ria,

Janganlah "KELIRU" untuk "PILIHLAH AKU" kerana "TAK AKAN ADA CINTA YANG LAIN" dapat mengatasi minatku terhadap ketiga-tiga diva yang luar biasa ini!!!

Pastinya aku akan MENGHITUNG HARI menunggu detik 25 Mac ini kerana MEMORI yang bakal diukir oleh SANG DEWI bertiga ini nanti!

Whooaaaaa! hoyeee..hoyeee...terrer? all those blue highlighted are hit songs of the 3 Divas :-) brilliant? hehehe...

I think 4-5days after that, I received a phone call. Nasib baik hangkat..sebab kalo unrecognized number normally I won't pickup the call. It was Nadia from Astro. AP for Muzik @ Ria and she was telling me that I won the contest with another 2 winners. OMG! I'm so thrilled, excited and it was a goose bumps moment!!!

Each winner is allowed to bring 1 partner..sapa lagi..i bawa kaktah lar..suker dia :-)
It was on 24th March 2007. First, we were suppossed to meet them up at the Palace of Golden Horses for an interview. Plan changed on last minute disebabkan nak beri laluan to Sultan Brunei. Baginda mencemar duli and flew to KL just to meet up the 3Divas personnally before the concert..Whooooaaa! and we headed to Putra Stadium @ Bkt Jalil for a full dress rehearsal. It was fun & great! For the first time I met the famous Indonesian singers in person-Kris Dayanti, Ruth Sahayana & Titi DJ. Wow! A warning- not only a meeting but hugs, kissess and warm friendly hellos.
Kris is so damn gorgeous! with slightly dark skin, medium size just like me :-P But really pretty. It was her birthday that day. When i first saw her my Q was "Kris, can I hug u?" of course I could.. then I cried! huhuuhuuu..(FYI - tengok iklan pun i bulih nangis) happy lar.

Ruth is so fair & very nice skin complextion! petite size and damn gorgeous and so does Titi DJ but with 6feet height. Kaktah sang her fav song by Kris "Mengenangmu"... duet with Kris...so sweet...
We spent only 20minutes taking photos & chit chat due too tight schedule of the Divas, (they were rushing to MBPJ stadium for special appreance at AF concert -Candy sang their song -'Semua Jadi Satu'.
..and that was the day b4 the concert. On the concert day, 25th March 2007 we arrived early at Putra Stadium for tv recording. Yasmin Hani was away so we were replacing her to host the slot for the concert. I was on tv lor :-D
The stadium was so crowded. A lot of local celebrities and VIPs. Among them were Dr Mahathir & Mak Mah, Siti & Dato K, Camelia, Ziana Zain, Sheila Majid and many more. 3-5 busess arrived full with Indonesian fans who flew from Jakarta just for the concert. 2hrs concert seem like 20minutes. Gempak & dahsat giler! Everythings was superb. Right from the stage setting & gimmick, lighting, audio & sound and choices of songs & music arrangement & of course their outfits..awesome! Salute the 3Divas as well as the orchestra pimpinan Pak Erwin Gutawa. So impressed with the 3Divas energy and professionalism and commitment to make the concert a history! fantastic live vocal thru out the concert. 3Divas are fabulous..their vocal proved how divas are they. The songs they sang was uncountable! too many songs that night and i enjoyed myself so much!

and that is why they deserve to be called the Diva! the 3 Divas!

Back to Jakarta! After Bandung, I'm headed to Jakarta for another 2nites. Again, checked in at Le Grandeur, Mangga Dua (M2) of North Jakarta. First I wanted to stay somewhere in Central Jakarta since I've stayed at M2 last year... but totally can't resist the shopping temptation...Goshhh! wonderful, awesome & fantastic!!! :-)

If I stayed at Central Jakarta it means I'm wasting my time travel & stuck in trafic jam because no matter how I'm still need & must go to M2 :-) and I've made a wise decision by staying at Le Grandeur, M2 (again). Same as Bandung, Jakarta also is in wet season now. Raining heavily almost everyday..but again it was not a problem since Le Grandeur is interconnected to a computer mall & with other famous shopping centres in this area such as Mangga Dua Mall, ITC Mangga Dua and Pasar Pagi Mangga Dua. So, you don't have to go accross the street :-)

Mangga Dua is one of the most paced up and packed up area in Jakarta. The Mangga Dua district has a lot to offer if you show that you’re really up to it. Beneath its dusty air and ferocious traffic, there are many hidden treasures to find. It's for die hard shoppers! Forget about all the bigscale shopping malls & expensive branded things at Central Jakarta - don't waste your time, u can get all those here in KL. It's someting else that is so different & interesting in Mangga Dua yet very cheap...Yeah!

I left Bandung for Jakarta via Xtrans at 11.30am. One day prior to my departure, I've call the Xtrans (station at Cihampelas Road) & placed my reservation via the phone & my desired seat in the coach- as simple as that :-) The 2hrs trip was very smooth & comfy. My stop at Jakarta is at Blora station. From there I need to get a cab to my hotel for another 30minutes depending on traffic condition (Jakarta traffic flow is really bad!). Fortunately the Xtrans staff were so helpful. Two of them carried out my 5 luggages and look for a taxi for me...fuhhh! "Makasih Pak"I gave them tips for the assistance and within 5 minutes i was in the taxi headed to my hotel.

My room was at 15th floor with a very great view of M2 area. Nice! One thing I like about this hotel is the security. They have 24hrs security guards at the hotel entrance, lobby, restaurants and using lift to access desired floor, we need to swipe room's keycard...and as an added security, the reception will call your room everytime you request room service just to inform that their staff is already in front of your door...bagus kan? jadi, takder lah kita suka2 hati open the door for a stranger ;->

The door at the lobby that connected to the computer mall

Breakfast was great. Basically I have no problem about food in Jakarta as they served Halal food and I do love Nasi Padang & Sunda food...yummmyyy. Here back in Kuala Lumpur, if sometimes really feel nak makan Sundanese food my fav resto is Sundanese @ KLCC. Delicious!

M2 is wellknown for its China Town. Most of the resident here are Chinese & they speak Bahasa Indonesia as their daily language. At first it was a bit difficult to differentiate Jakartan Malay & Chinese women. They all look a like. Fair, gorgeous and curly long sexy hair...hemmm so pretty. During my stay, hotel was full with local especially Chinese and hardly seen any foreigner or Malaysian except me :-P. Many business people since Le Grandeur is a 4star business hotel. Nearby hotel is Novotel (on top of Mangga Dua Square) but u have to take a ride or 15minutes sweaty & dusty walk to the malls that connected to my hotel.

On my first day, I tried the buffet dinner with live performance..Actually wanted to go to Restaurant Garuda for nasi padang but due to heavy rain and difficult to get a taxi (precisely Blue Bird), then I decided to have dinner at hotel...sumptious Indonesian buffet spread just at Rp60k (RM22) with free drink.

This one is my lunch at Restaurant Garuda @ Jalan Hayam Wuruk...fuyyyooo! terangkat cikjah! lazat..slurrppp..gulp..gulpp..Total is about Rp200k (RM70)


Ha! This is the most awaited dish... Fried Gurame + Rice + Lalapan = AWESOME MEAL!
Had this on the last day in the room sbb dah too tired to go out..sedapnya sama macam dulu :-)
Sampai lah kita ke bab Shopping - sajer jer tak nak citer mula2...sat gi ketaq lutut :-D

Basically, I've organized my itinerary sama jer like last year. The places I went for makan & shopping were all the same places sbb I don't want to waste my time searching & looking around since I've limited days at Jakarta.

Tempat wajib mestilar Tanah Abang! This round, I'm a bit prepared. One lorong at a time and floor by floor. More organized...kalo tidak nanti ada toko (shop) yang ketinggalan...

Wow! Tanah Abang is extremely hebat! Sumer ada...Setakat 2-3jam kat Tanah Abang memang tak cukup. You need at least the entire day :-P It's open from 9am until 5pm...If you are here with group & family please bring your compass - u may lost ur way here. Too many shops & floors, new block, old block..hemmmm..pusing. The most lower ground paling best - textile floor. Varities of laces & colour, silk & fabric - Oh goshhhhhh! gorgeous & murah...sesuwei buat baju pen-ghan-thin :-P
..and another tempat wajib to go is ITC Mangga Dua. Warning for ladies! Bring out your credit cardss :-) Segala macam handbags available...But of course not original..tetapi with 1st grade quality..not cheap ok.. The price range between Rp700k - Rp1.5mil ..It's about RM250 onwards...Beside that ada jugak yang murah like Rp50k-Rp100k/each (RM20-RM40)... but still good if you know how to choose.

All handbag shops located at ground floor..kalo Cikjah datang, mahunya taknak balik...best gilerzzzz..Huh! As a present for myself sbb dah alang2 jauh berjalan nih, terbeli lar jugak handbag Rp1.2mil (sebutannya: 1 koma 2)..hehehe...tu pun puas lar tawar menawar :-P
Penat sopping, I decided to wash my hair..it was good kalo kepala ni kena massage2 skit..hehee.
Asked around and they told me at ITC has one famous salon - Johny Andrean Salon. So, I gave a try. Wash & blow only Rp36k ( RM13). So cheap!

On my departure day, it was raining heavily in the morning. Fuh, takut jugak kalo2 terjadi banjir..sbb Mangga Dua ni nearby to beach area, Ancol. It's a low land area. Lagipun on my way back from Tanah Abang, dah ada "genangan air" (local name for Banjir) but still ok for traffic...but that was the day before...huh!
Nak jadi citer - memang ada banjirpun on my way to the airport but luckily only half way. Tapi kira macet jugak lar...
My tips -please allocate at least 3-3.5hrs from you hotel until your check-in time @ the airport. Anything could happen in Jakarta. Tak rugi kalo tunggu lama at the airport. Do you know that missing your flight will cost you hundreds? hemmmm...takder replace2 punyalah...kena bayar penalti Cikjah oiiii...
Photo news about thunder flood somewhere in Jakarta due to raining season.

Tips - Do carry your foldable bag (red) with you as it is so useful. My luggages...huh! but no excess weight woooo :-P (not like my Bali trip)

Finally, I was on flight back home on time. Tapi satu jer tak puas hati mesti komplen kat Abang Tony as the staff never mentioned to me that I need to wait at separate hall for express boarding (JKT-KL)..nasib baik aku tanya! chitttt...
and the worst is from KL-JKT they never repeat the announcement for the express boarding to onboard the flight...I was at the boarding gate sharp at 8.30am (the required time) tapi nobody announced for express boarding and of course i thought maybe later...Tetiba jer sumer orang rushing to the gate & walk out...chiiittt...hanjennggg betoi! Woiii..tak kan sumer benda nak kena tanya..aku bayar extra RM25/way from others tau :-O
Ni dah takder fuel chargers ni ntah apa pulak lar lousy service provided to cover up the lost...hemmmm
Argghhh..malaslah citer pasai airline nih..maybe next time try naik KLM lar plak...better kot :-P
But no matter how, Jakarta is definitely a great place for shopping & they have amazing food to enjoy. Walla Jakarta :-)
My photo
Malaysia
I don't remember a witch ...but there was a black adorable cat who sat down beside me and told me that "I'm a cat who has strong legs, beautiful heart and the ♥ of thrills, I like to climb things - including hills. I ♥ pink and I ♥ cat and again the black cat told me that I'm a lovely friendly Pienkcat"
