Off Jakarta Trip 2011

I just came back from Jakarta last sunday. Overall, it was tremendously fun despite tak jumpa factory outlet yang bagus since that was basically the first time i stayed in Jakarta. Last time pergi sehari je pastu terus gerak to Bandung. This time, we stayed for 3 days and shopped till i dropped!

Abis duit aku.Hahaha...As i have mentioned on my last post, aku pergi with my girlfriends back in Uni. Kitorang pergi 3 orang, Ereen, Eika & me....

 

 From very left, Me, Ereen & Eika at Sarinah Mall.

We stayed at Ibis Thamrin which cost us 550,000rp per night. Masa tu agak mahal sikit sebab kitorang walk in. But tak kisah la since the hotel was pretty near with Tanah Abang (Tempat tuk beli textiles, baju2, jubah, telekung,bag, etc). Dekat juga dgn Sarinah Mall & Java Department Store (Factory Outlet). 

Overall, aku abis dlm 1 juta rupiah (RM350) for accommodition, transportation & makan. The rest of it duit shopping. Aku banyak beli kain2 buat baju kurung la. Sebab tak banyak pergi factory outlet. And bought few stuffs for family and the banker.

On the first day, check in je, kitorang terus pergi Tanah Abang. Tapi masa tu tak beli byk sgt sebab dah penat. Pastu balik hotel, lepak2 mkn maggi cup. Owh ya, sebelah hotel ada 7e. Senang gila kalau nak beli makanan ke, slurpee ke. 7e dia bukan cam kat Msia tau. Dorang ada jual lasagna, spag, sosej yg besar2 tu, etc. So, kalau malas nk g jauh2, beli kat situ je.

Pastu kitorang pergi Gajah Mada Mall which turn out to be Gajah Mada Mati Mall for me as we couldnt find any good factory outlet and the 7th floor freaking nice view of Jakarta which the info i got from a friend of mine. Thanks ROSEMARY! hahahaha....

Pastu kitorang pergi factory outlet yg dekat ngn hotel tu.Java Department Store. Aku beli kemeja je sehelai pastu buat rambut. Hahaha. Murah kot. Hair Spa, Mani+Pedi, Blow, Ozone Therapy cost me me only 180,000rp (RM50). Kalau kat Msia hair spa je dh rm200 tuk rambut aku yang pjg cam hantu ni.

Second day, pagi2 kitorang pergi balik Tanah Abang. And masa ni la aku shopping bagai nak rak. Hahaha..Kain tuk aku sorang je dah mcm 7 pasang. Beli kain baju melayu tuk abah, adik2 and the banker. Beli telekung, kain & jubah for mama. Pastu balik hotel balik, kitorang pergi Hard Rock Cafe and met up with Ereen's friend who stayed in Jakarta, Shinta. Dia suka gelak ok. Sikit2 gelak. Cumel je...Hahaha...So, hari tu dia la jadi tour guide kitorang. We all pergi Jln. Surabaya. Yang mana the banker boleh main politik ngn aku kata kat situ ada factory outlet and tak perlu pergi tempat lain. Aku pon berkobar2 pergi and skali tu...Cett...Tempat tu adalah tempat orang lelaki shopping. Ada jual kasut kulit & bags imitation grade A. Hampeh sungguh. Dah alang2 sampai terpaksa la beli jugak kasut yg diminta since he's THE BANKER. I bought Ferragamo shoes for the banker. 

@ Jln. Surabaya

Pastu malam tu kitorang pergi Massage kat hotel. Feedback: HAMPEH. That was not the place utk massage. Maybe massage utk orang lelaki je kot. Utk perempuan, cari la massage tempat lain. Yang like some sort of SPA or something. Makin sakit badan aku g massage kat situ. Dia urut cam aku urut kaki mak aku je. Takda pun stok bunyi2 kasi release the joints. Hampeh hampeh hampeh.

On the 3rd day, kitorang pergi bergambar and mkn MCD for breakfast. Mcd situ baru je bukak 2-3 hari cmtu.Probably we were the first Malaysian yang g MCD tu kot. Haha...And ya...Good things about Jakarta is, they have car free day on Sunday kat main road dorang.Jln. Sudirman kalau tak silap. Non of the car are alllowed to use that road from morning to 12pm. Sume orang berbasikal. So, it was like some sort of Le Tour De Jakarta gitu..Hehe. 

Ok, overall, the trip was fun but i prefer Bandung more. Cuz Bandung lebih tourist friendly. Jakarta sgt jammed. Layan la pictures ni ok.

The Aryani Resort, Setiu Terengganu

Hello Mellow....Korang g mane je cuti CNY? How was it? Was it fun? Mine was fun. Hihi. Aku pegi merata.Mula2 balik Penang. Ada wedding cousin kat Baling, pastu terus balik Kelantan. In the middle before balik KL tu, aku g Terengganu with cousins. Biasa la anak beranak Yah Merah (nama arwah moyang) suka ber gathering ni. We stayed at The Aryani Resort, Setiu. Bukan butik Aryaani tudung tu yer. NI resort. Takde jual tudung.Hehe.Btw, tempat tu superb! Cantek bangat. Mula2 masuk kinda creepy jugak. Tapi sampai je, i was like.....dang! Speechless. Tak sangka ada resort cantek camtu dlm hutan. Hehe....Thx to Kakti. She paid for everything. Semoga Allah murahkan rezeki Kakti. 

Btw, The Aryani is located kat Setiu. About 30-40mins from Kuala Terengganu. Aku pun tak berapa mahir jalan2 kat sana. Tapi kalu tanya the locals they would be able to give you the direction to Aryani. Layan la pictures ni ok...

The kids was having fun at the pool. Didnt get the chance nak amik gambar byk2. Camera ada kat cousin g sorang. Byk gambar pun kat dia. Ni gambar dr phone. Boley la kan.

 

 Ni pantai tepi resort tu...Masa ni pagi. Melayan perasaan sorang2 tepi pantai. Haha...Naseb x tulis nama je kat pasir tu tau...Kalu tak konfem dah mcm hindustan dah.

Both gambar ni curik dr website dia. Sebab tak amik gambar byk. Ada kat cousin. Later dah dpt insyaAllah, i will upload utk tatapan. Btw, dr tepi pantai tu boleh nampak Pulau Redang....

Well, generally i would say The Aryani Resort is a fantastic place to relax and enjoy with the loved ones. Korang boleh tgk the rate and more info kat http://www.thearyani.com

Ok, later ada masa i will upload more pictures masa cuti hari tu. Enjoice!

Mesti korang macam, ape tempat eja pegi ni. Tak penah dgr pun tempat ni kat Bukit Tinggi. Huh, jangan memain. Pak guard kat situ pun tatau celah mana Nora Lodge ni. Hanya geng2 bunian je tau...Eh, tak....Haha...Tapi masa otw pegi tu mmg terfikir la, mak aku ni ckp ngn bunian ke hari tu. (Sbb mama yang found this place over the net and she was the one yang contacted the owner). Back to the story, otw ke tempat tu, kitorg adik beradik dah bising2 dah. Masuk dlm hutan kot. Kalu korang bawa mini cooper, takya berangan nak masuk tempat tu. Hahaha...

The history was, dia built this place for her family only. Pastu adik beradik dia yang lain nak juga ada pondok yang sama. So, she build another for each of her siblings. How nice of her ya. Owww..mama cakap adik dia is Maznah Zulkifli. Celebriti yang suka naik motor besar tu. Hmmm..aku duk pondok artis kot. Huahuahua...

What women want the most in a man

Ada sesetengah lelaki ni tak faham apa yang perempuan nak kan...Susah sangat ke nak faham orang perempuan ni? Senang je la nak faham orang perempuan ni. These are some of the simple rules: 

1) Affection & Tenderness

Ape susah, bagi je perhation sikit kat orang perempuan ni. Tak perlu spend so much money pun. Cukup la sekadar tanya apa yang dia buat hari ni, is everything ok, hows thing at work, etc. Orang lelaki tak perlu pun bayar rm50 tuk setiap soalan tu. Tak perlu pun pegi balai polis nak wat report. Aiseh...Tu pun susah ke chaaa?

2) Talk

Just a simple conversation. Kadang2 orang perempuan ni suka sgt bercakap. Korang dgr je la. Look her in the eyes once in awhile. Ada orang tu kadang2, kita sibuk nak bercakap dia sibuk baca paper. Buat tatau je apa kita cakap. Bila kita tanya, "u dengar tak apa i cakap ni, i tgh cakap la". Ngan slumber dia jawab, "Yela, cakap je la, i dengar" (mata masih lagi baca paper. n aku assume tobat apa aku cakap tu tak masuk otak.dang)

3) Romantika

Mungkin sesetengah lelaki fikir, tak perlu pun nak beromantik-romantik ni. Nak plak pada yg dah kawen lama. Atau pun yang dah lama bercinta. Helooo...Kalu bukan ngn korang aku nak beromantik, ngn sapa lg? Aduh...As if for me, aku tak minta pun hadiah mahal2, tak minta pun kete mewah, bag LV. Cukup la bg sekuntum bunga yang harga rm3.50 tu ataupun Toblerone RM3.20 kat 7e tu. Pada yang mampu, and i think it wont cost u that much pun kalau buat once in a blue moon kan. Perhaps 3-4 bulan sekali. Bawa pergi dinner at a fancy restaurant, bagi perfume ke, jewellery ke...up to u. Ikut kemampuan. Kalau tak mampu, rasanya bawa g makan tempat nice sket, pastu bagi bunga and choc cukup la. Dang...BUNGA plays an important rule in a relationship ok.

4) Puji-Pujian

Sekali sekala apa salahnya puji gf/bini tu...Bila tgk dia melawa sikit, puji la. Bukan kena bayar pun. Just look her in th eyes, senyum and say 'U look lovely today sayang", pastu kiss her on the forehead. DANG....Aku kalau dapat camtu, tobat senyum sepanjang hari. Waaaa...Tak dapat malangnya. Hehehe...Mak belum berlaki nok.

P/s: Kat mana agaknya jodoh sayep yer? Kalau la aku tau sapa jodoh aku. Eh, eh, tetibe berjiwa plak kan. Ok. HAVE A NICE DAY!

Acoustic Night with Aizat Amdan at KLPAC

One word to conclude Aizat Amdan performance....REMARKABLE!!!

I went to his acoustic show at KLPAC the other day on 2nd Jan. He was performing with Zainal Abidin. They both are seriously damn good singers. As if for Aizat, i have never realize, actually i refuse to admit it. Hehe...I didnt see how good he is before. But after seeing his performance the other day, i can say that he's the only talented AF graduate. He created such tremendous songs, both lyrics and melody.

I didnt get the chance to take any photo since i didnt bring my camera. But well, it was great. Thanks to the person who brought me there nway. Lain kali nak ikut lagi boleh? Hehe...ah, he wouldnt read this nway. Will paksa him to bring me along if Aizat performing. Oh ya, he is gonna have another show on the 29th Jan. 

To Aizat, please be in the industry for long since Malaysia is lacking of talented young singer like you. Good luck in your future career!

P/s: Ada nampak Kak Tie n anak dia malam tu. Sorry Kaktie x sempat nak berbual panjang malam tu. Eja nak terjah blog Kaktie skrg jugak!
