I ♥ MUHAMMAD FADRIAN SHAH. I ♥ MUHAMMAD HADI. I ♥ MUHAMMAD HAIRIE.
And that's my "NOTTY.NONSENSICAL.KIDS." for you. Teheee^^

My five-days trip to Jakarta and Bandung was FILLED WITH FUN AND LAUGHTERS, and that makes a memorable one for each and everyone of us. The place itself is awesome. What's more with good company, good food, good service overall? It simply doubles the a-w-e-s-o-m-e-n-e-s-s! :)
^ In the plane, Lion Air, before take-off ^
The flight was actually delayed because it was pouring very heavily and during my fly the weather wasn't good either, it was still drizzling. But alhamdulillah, i reached my destination safely.
^ Bus rides on our personal bus ^
We travelled everywhere with that bus. The bus is ours with our own personal driver. If you still do not know this, let me tell you, to travel from one place to another can take up till hours. I can reassure you the shortest distance itself to get out from where you are, took you one hour. The traffic there is forever in chaos and i had fears to cross the road there. The longest bus ride throughout the trip, was a six-hour one. We got a lil' frustrated somehow because it was supposed to be only four hours to reach our destination but due to the traffic jam, two hours was wasted. Actually, much time was wasted on travelling but on a positive note, there is always room for us to regain our energy when we're tired, which is to sleep on our long journey. Afterall, all thanks to the driver. He is a very patient person, and fun to talk to too. A good driver (Y)(Y)(Y) .
^ As you can see, that's at Tangkuban Parahu ^
Tangkuban Parahu is a volcano, 25 kilometers north of Bandung direction of Lembang, which was erupted before. The place is Bandung's most famous tourists attraction.. It is a very beautiful place, nearly to the top of the hill, where you can see the lava, the nice mounted green hills, the nature. The smoke you see in the background of the pictures came from the lava actually, but it is quite cold up there too. There are shops lined along the hills, up and down, which sells cool and unique stuff. It started to pour when we reached there, so sad. So we did a quick tour around there, not a complete one, not many pictures taken, kinda rushing because the rain getting heavier.
We proceeded to have our buffet lunch/dinner at Garuda Restaurant, Padang Cuisine. The food was delicious, i tell you! Yummy!
^ Outside Senayan City ^
At one of the mall in the town, and it is just like the malls in Orchard Road. At this mall, you can find all branded original goods under one roof but the price is the same like here in Singapore. Opposite of the building, is another shopping mall where you can at least find something cheap but in good quality. There is a supermarket. I went in alone when others are busy touring the mall till the very top-level, to grab the chewing gums of course because it was about to close already.
^ Horse Ride and Hot-spring^
I forgot what the whole place called but it is like an amusement park where you can have so many activities inside. Other than the horse ride, i remembered the is a strawberry farm, a spa, a place where you can play paintball, a place where there is waterfall which you can swim and the water is hot/warm naturally, and many more.
We went to a place called Taman Impian Jaya Ancol, it is like an amusement park too. Another big place which consists of a beach, a theme park, resort and others too which i can't remember.
^ At Taman Impian Jaya Ancol ^
^ At the villa ^
Only had one night stay at the villa. The rest of the days, we stayed in the homestay. We know the owner of the house, which is also our tour guide for the trip. No problem with the comfort to sleep, definitely! And also the facilities in the house is good. No regrets.
^ Group pictures before we leave for the airport ^
( not complete though )
^ My cousin with Cik Hjjh. Netty and Pak Hj. Ady ^
I would really want to thank Cik Hjjh. Netty and Pak Hj. Ady for making this trip a successful one, All was planned very well by them and everything went smoothly. Without them, this trip would not be a memorable and fun one. Once again, thank you. Maybe next year we will go there again, insyallah.
A over 500 pictures were taken and i want to thank my cousin Nur'Ain for her Nikon which captures every fun moment we had, and Rafiq, for the pictures.
Assalammua'laikum.
