Bandung Revisited...

Ya...aku udah pulang....been there for 4 days 3 nights...finally stay at Karmila Hotel near Dago for first 2 days.Reoson being...because on the 1st and 2nd day,I spent most of the time outside the hotel,and the Karmila is a walking distance to most malls and FOS.Its ok"ed" for me,but Mr.Hubs say he did'nt fancy that hotel,and he will not come again...hahaha the cheapy me..as I want to save more for shopping actually!!

Stayed at Sukajadi for the last night,as I actually plan to rest and relax,having a sweet time near the pool while Mr.Hubs and son swimming,end up memang betul-betul rest sebab by 3rd day lepas pulang dari Puncak Tangkuban Perahu and Strawberry farm the son dah flat demam tonsil,siang tu they tried to swim tapi kejap jer sebab air sejuk sangat...memang cuaca di sekitar sukajadi ni nyaman...especially waktu malam...anginnya sejuk....ramai jugak orang kita stayed kat hotel ni...and what more this hotel situated near to Paris Van Java Mall,the latest and happening mall in Bandung,where all really branded stuff boutique located including SOGO and Carrefour hypermarket.

We just been here for a short period only as,son is too weak to walk,and I just bought J-Co Donuts here,which cost me R29,000 for half dozen,sama dengan Msia harganya...

This time round,I visited the place that I didn't go for my first visit 2 years back.So I dropped out Rumah Mode and The Valley,sebab dah pergi last time,although that was the must visit place in Bandung.

This is my summary/observation about few things/places I've been/encountered recently:-

Pasar Baru
Is a must visit place.Tempat ni macam Pertama Complex tempat kita lah,but more to Indonesian man made like batiks,telekong,kebaya sulam,kain ela,begs,tudong and you just name it lah semua ada!,I think ladies need one whole day to spend time here,you can solat and having your meals here,too bad I only given an hour to spend here,because Mr.Hubs has appointment after that,wrong timing!!aisey!!...but all in all I managed to grab 5 pairs of telekong and souveniers for some people back home,main tarik jer apa yang rasa patut...chasing time maaa!!
Besoknya I cuba-cuba gak usha Mr.Hubs untuk ajak datang lagi...tapi dia kata..semalam kan dah pergi?kat situ banyak barang sampah lah.....hahahahaha.....adoi..tapi sebelum balik KL tu ada gak dia ajak singgah PB ni,tapi tak payahlah.....

Tangkuban Perahu
Seronok sebenarnya tempat ni,dingin jer,pemandanganya indah...tapi disebabkan rimas dengan pemandu pelancong tak diundang dan penjual jalanan yang keep on chasing and mengerumuni kami,rasa nak balik jer...nak jerit pun ada..tapi sabar..........ngenangkan ni tempat orang...I ni kan pantang dirayu....tak pasal2 terbeli jugak souvenier2 yg pakcik2 tua tu jual,pasal dia kata,tolong neng buat makan saya.......alahai!!lemah jantung....kesian sungguh....I know I paid overpriced for the goods I bought,but I anggap sedekah jerlah....biarlah dari mereka meminta2 tanpa menjual apa2...The son bought ANGKLONG there...dia kan peminat setia TOI!!Sungguh tak kuasek budak ni!!

Transportation
I hired a supir for 2 days,Do inform me if you need this reliable Supir contact no.Mr.Hubs happy with this guy service and gave him a hefty tips for that.Mr.Hubs claims that he is very commited and dedicated to his job,he did'nt speaks nonsens,and full of general knowledge,he also had a clear vision in live and he definetly is Mr.Hubs 1st choice for his next bizz trip.Sebab selama kami visit Indon ni,macam2 perangai supir dah kami jumpa.....banyak yang tak berkenan di hati Mr.Hubs yang fussy itu,ahaks!!I?semua ok!!hahahaha...

Untuk perjalanan yang dekat-dekat we tried Angkutan Kota,ala...yang macam van tu,tapi tak tutup pintu,bayaran dia ikut jauh dekat la,about R1000 to R3000 per pax,I suka jer naik Angkot ni,tapi my 2 accompanion ni,tak minat pulak...hehehe,Kelemahan angkutan ni,kita kena tau betul2 nama tempat yang kita nak pergi,and kena tukar-tukar angkut,which kalau bawak budak tak convenience sangat lar...This happened to us,bila kami tersalah sebut Bandung Trade Centre to Bandung Super Mall,kami tersasar jauh......eii...nak nangis bila ngenangkannya...bila tanya semua orang tak tau.....(mustahil kan?tapi inilah majoriti attitude org dorang ni!)sampai lah pakcik beca yang mulia hati bagitau,jalan sikit jer sampai nampak lampu merah...tapi bukan sikit la woi..........hampir 1km..kami 3 beranak jalan kaki panas2 buta dengan habuk dan debu,sehingga menyebabkan the son yang allergic panas dan habuk tu jatuh sakit sebab tonsilnya membengkak....OH..dugaan!!hidup tak selalunya indah....

Lagi satu choice is taxi,tapi ada banyak yang tak pakai meter,but so far Taxi bluebird paling reliable...InsyaAllah.

Factory Outlet
Kami banyak shopping kat sini,tak banyak pun 10 pasang sorang jer....huhhhuhu....stock sampai tahun depan kata Mr.Hubs,ye ke?hehehe,Geram sebab murah-murah yet branded lagik!!hahaha!Walaupun kami tau not all the goods are genuine rather than imitation,but the quality is satisfying enough for us.Kalau nak tau baju2 tu really genuine ke tak,its not come with many choices/sizes,and label tu depa kasik potong sampai hancoq...other than that...paham2 jerlah...but hey...who cares!!as long as we are happy and its new and the price is way too much cheaper than the ORI..which normally makes us think thousand time before we get one!! kira ok lah tu...the quality is at par for the price we paid...hehehe..


Reminder:Jangan lupa periksa barang2 yang di beli tu,I kan selalu nak cepat(aziah sukalah tu!)We did last minute shopping masa on the way to airport,pasal nak habiskan rupiah yang masih banyak,dan baru teringat nak belikan jaket yg my brother kirim,so kami sambar jer apa yang rasa berkenan,dan tunjukkan kat salesgirl tu baju mana yang nak and mintak size....until dah sampai umah baru perasan,baju GUESS hijau yang I mintak baju ntah hapa-hapa hijau yang dia bagi...Duh!!..harga sama macam GUess....kalau tau brand lain tak kuasek nak beli...its about R189,000...rugi...rugi....
Rupa-rupanya...bukan baju Guess tu jer yang salah...out of 5 telekong tu,1 telekong tu adalah telekong anak kecil,but I paid same price macam adult...and it same goes masa beli souvenier T-Shirts depan hotel masa nak balik...main pilih2 design jer withour realising some of it is kids shirts,depa tak bagitau tau...and the way the wrap dalam plastic sama besar macam adult shirts....takperlah....that was a good lesson for me,and now I remind you all,jangan terkena macam I.

Nak tau apa lagi ya?tanya jerlah nanti,kalau blh jawab,I am willing to help.Tapi cuti kali ni tak sebest macam cuti-cuti selalu,sebab kejadian sesat dan sakit tu,apatah lagi,misi utama adalah sebab bizz Mr.Hubs bukan holiday semata-mata,so agak kelamskabuts sikit...hopefully our next trip end of this year will be the breeze one.InsyaAllah...Amin.
