there r many many things i wanna blog, but no-computer-i'm-in-bali-situation didn't allow me to do so. so here i am giving you guys flash news of what i've been up to these few weeks :) quite a great experience i had, i am learning to drive. it's an automatic car, yeah i know in your tiny brains popped 'matic is easy' whatsoever. it is easier than driving a manual car but of course it isn't as easy as driving a bom bom car. please..
so yeah. i'm getting better at it and i feel proud of myself. it has only been days since i'm driving but i had drive myself and my dear friend Giovanni who-is-so-sweet-trusting-her-life-to-me lol! to west side of Surabaya from east-side, back and forth :) i am proudly presented Giovanni alive-without-a-single-scratch to her parents. heehee. i'm able to park the car straight-and-parallel-with-the-parking-line but still with my father's instruction and i'm able to drive the car through the quite-scary-parking-lots-at-Tunjungan-Plaza. i am super proud of my courage! okay no big-headed, i still have to be cautious everywhere.
i still have a lot of shortcomings though. i had almost crash people who cross the street a few times but that didnt put me down and nearly-almost crash motorcycles a lot of times :P thank God i always manage to press the brake on time! i hate to drive at night. i don't know is it the lights of my car is almost died or every cars are like that. i don't know. but it really makes me have to stay alert every-single-second. the other day, i almost crashed a two-transgenders and they just looked back and scream 'aaahh'. it will be hilarious if you see me impersonate their expression. lol!
lemme tell u about my first day, i was driving in this deserted-street-of-household and i'm suddenly out to the real street and it was freaking scary! it really freaked me out to hell. there was a motorcycle on the left, i was avoiding it and almost crash the back of a truck.
thank God the driver who teaches me turned the steering wheel to the right on time. oh God! i
was very scared and go back to the deserted street again.
frankly speaking, i do love driving but i hate it when i'm being compared with my little brother by my father. i know he's good but please.. getting bored of it, now i just take it as a whisper by i-don't-know-who
now i'm at bali enjoying my trip with family in Bali. looking forward to city-tours i want to join :)

BandungBLAST!
the fun is still going, it's the awesome day 2 at Bandung :)
i originally planned to blog all the 4 days at once and i figured it will take forever to finish it.
so imma blog day by day and finish it asap! heehee :)
the clock showed 10.00am. day 2 started with picking up Jesslyn at Balubur New Market, we went straight to Bandung Trade Center or BTC for short to have some lunch. we had the smashed chicken, fried tofu, fried tempe, and steamed rice, it was quite nice but only-half-satisfied our empty stomach :) at the food place, there's a cat wandering around the place scared me, Jesslyn, and Leoni halfway to death. so, it was quite like a thriller movie(?) when we were eating while looking around scared of the cat walking passed our legs.
i finally found my newly-fave bracelets here! i pay 10 for 11 :) love it. i was satisfied of how cheap they were until i found out that my cousin bought the exact same thing with 1/4 of my price at Bali and I am going there next week. I was pissed! but I'm still gonna buy more at Bali LOL. we got ourselves different bracelets there and feel superb :D
well, the smashed chicken obviously not enough to fulfill our monster-size-stomach.time for doraemon :) hello emon, please lend us your 'the-magnificent-magic-napkin-everything-you-want-to-eat' yay! free-buffet! wtf?!, so we got ourselves some snacks at the local food court :D facts-about-bandung: you can find variations of tofu dish from a-z here. we got to taste two local-way-of-cooking-tofu at the food court and both taste incredibly delicious :) with the addition of seasoned fries, the hulks inside our stomach finally calmed down :P facts-about-singapore-blah: there's no such thing as seasoned fries there, it's due to high-level-of-MSG in the seasoning which is a BIG NO-NO! at singapore :\
moving on, we snapped some pics on the way to Kings-without-queens(?), alright it's only Kings. it took us quite a long time to reached there, the traffic was insanely crazy. it was weekend and the in-desperate-need-of-entertainment-Jakarta-citizens were trying to have some fun at Bandung, so it was packed with B-license-plate-cars at the street. fyi, the transportation's license plate for Jakarta starts with B :)
when we finally arrived, out-of-excitement we must shop some fabrics for our graduation collection. after a while, the joy-of-seeing-nice-with-good-price-fabrics has started to creep me up and i did found real good fabrics comes in real good prices so i was quite satisfied :) oh-ah-'the'-knit-hats-i-adore i found it there also with less than half of the price when i bought it at Forever 21. *light-bulb* business-instinct: i can sell this at singapore with much cheaper price than Forever 21 but still give me good profit. FAILED! i just bought for myself and i bought two! :D so happy :) i scratched my head for the fact that pastel colours don't suit me well why-oh-why? :( i want to look good in both bold and pastel colours what-a-greedy-me :P
looked for some great goodies with reasonable prices but can't find one which strikes to my heart so i end up with none except fabrics and my lovely-knit-hats-i-adore-so-much and fyi, they are all hand-knitted by the-kind-lady-owner :) thank you your majesty *bow* :D what the? nvm.
visited a few outlets along Riau street before we head back home. sadly, i found nothing that calls my name to buy them. reminds me of the scene from Shopaholic movie. LOL

heyMr.HUSEINcont. :D
this is a sequel from my previous post talking about my trip to Bandung :)
a lil bit review of my previous post, just to trigger your memory:
so, i was finally able to fly to Bandung,FLY? am i some kind of superhero with red cape like Superman who is able to fly everywhere? hmm. it'd be nice if i can do one though. no need to pay for airport tax, air ticket. yay! wtf?! or should i borrow doraemon's magic door?! that's a great ridiculous idea! here-it-comes-lambition :P long short story, i arrived safely at Mr.Husein with my dear friend Janissa, ++ her bf and the driver picked me up :) then we went to Ciwalk :)
with 3/4-full-stomach and my dear friend Joana joined us, we watched Narnia 3D with no Indonesian subtitle. the movie was supposedly enter my fab-list! consider i'm a huge fan of fantasy movies :) but it was kinda a bedtime story for me, due to my lack-of-sleep-caused-by-last-minute-packing excuse, again :\ so i was yawning quite a lot of times and i actually hate to wear the annoying-always-fall-off-3D-glasses when i watched a real-human-movie like Narnia, please, it doesn't make much difference.
say hello to vintage-cutey-ultra-mega-super-fabulous stuffs, 'eh hello?!' :D i super love this EST store.do they have a fansclub? i would join one! what the? lemme guess what EST stands for Expensive STuffs? Exclusive Stuff Tango(?) wth? okay i don't know, don't mind the name, mind the items. i super-ultra-mega-love the stuffs which are categorized as cute-without-much-purpose stuffs. oh come on, we always love this kind of stuff. LOL. apart from that, the apparels there are kinda cute but pricey also. so, i end up only with my two babies :) super love my new babies :) fyi, the EST store take place on Jalan Sumatra :D
had a fancy dine at Brussels Spring recommended by my dear friend Joana. the restaurant is warm and welcoming, the interior is nicely done with a few cute decorations :) we chose to be seated at the terrace of the 2nd floor. the view is gorgeous with all the twinkling street lights, the rain pouring down, and all the fab places along Jalan Sumatra. enjoying the beautiful scenery while inhale-exhale the cool and chilly weather even-forever-is-not-enough :) for the meal, i didn't enjoy it quite much. i had a pasta for main course which i don't remember the name :/ but the waffle is super delicious :D overall is quite a good restaurant to hang out. the next time, i go there, the waffle will be great enough :)
a great start for day 1 :) tomorrow, jesslyn is joining us for the trip YAY! :D
oh! we are staying at our beloved friend Janissa's house. hmm, we should treat her something :)
P.S.: lambition by Jesslyn
Jesslyn has went to Bandung before this trip. She was begging her mom to allow her until she cried. Then, Janissa wondering and asked her would she be able to go to Bandung again for our trip. Jesslyn said i will just cry again if my mom won't give the permission. SUPER LOL! she is a total-drama-queen! HAHA :D
second-day-hint: OMG-so-cheap stuffs at Bandung Trade Center or BTC for short, fabrics fabrics and fabrics at Kings without-the-Queen?! and hunting-pork-time at Leygoh :D

heyMr.HUSEIN :D
after an on-and-off vacation plan, i finally set my butt in the plane to Husein Sastranegara, Bandung's Airport.
it was quite scary for me, as i'm not familiar with the domestic airport of Juanda and i've never been to Bandung alone. talking about the domestic airport,it was super luxurious compared to the international airport. okay, i think super luxurious is too good to describe it. let's change it to quite luxurious. what's the difference wtf?! just put it as much better than the international airport. there are quite a few good stores such as periplus bookstore, billabong, and even a starbucks coffee when there was nothing in the international airport.
enough of the bullshits,oshi! talk-to-myself-mode-on
unlucky for me, i got the middle seat in the flight and besides me two muscular uncles scared me nearly-to-death. i feel like i'm shrunk between them.who knows maybe i got smaller 2 inches from every sides of my body so it's quite a good way for diet? wtf?! they asked me several questions and thought i was a student from Maranatha University what the?! dont act like u know me heyho uncle! bitch: on >:( another-effort-of-my-lambition :P
time to talk about Bandung! :) the pleasure of travelling really got into me :D
after almost 1 hour, i finally landed safely. here it comes another bullshitting :( sorry guys, i need to state every facts, thoughts, and memories of my first trip to Bandung heehee :) so one of the uncle told me that Mr.Husein (my nickname for Bandung's Airport) is such a small airport and if we're about to landed but it was raining in Bandung, the pilot will do an emergency landing at Jakarta's Airport, Mr.Soekarno-Hatta. the first fact is true but the second one i never experienced before so i don't know :P but my dear friend's boyfriend told me Mr. Husein will be closed if it was raining heavily in Bandung, so maybe it's true :)
sorry for the delay and please don't yawn! :P
this time really is Bandung time!
my dear friend Janissa, her boyfriend Eddy, and the driver Mr. Toyo(?) picked me up at Mr. Husein. then we went to Cihampelas Walk or simply called Ciwalk :) Leoni joined us there then we ate at Bakso Malang something and Malang is a town near my hometown Surabaya. how come they don't have this restaurant at Surabaya or Malang and they have it at Bandung?!wth? maybe they just put Malang showing that the Bakso is from other town to attract more customers when it was just an ordinary Bakso? maybe. but it was quite delicious for a starter of my culinary journey at Bandung. 3 out of 5 stars :)
dictionary info:
bakso is meatball in English, so bakso campur is mixed meatball(?)
next up : some cute stores i found at Ciwalk, ultra-mega-cuteness stuffs at EST store, and fancy dine at Brussels Spring :D
