Jalan - Jalan Shopping

Haa.. amek ko title. Haha. But that is the truth. We went for 2 days, and all we did was shop!

Oh, and it felt a little bit like the amazing race too.

We left on Friday, flight was supposed to be at 2030 hrs. Knowing how Fridays are, I knew I had to leave early. Wanted to take the day off, but I had meetings the whole day which I can't escape from. *sigh* So, the 2nd meeting finished at 5ish and terus gelabah2 balik. But too late, the roads were already packed by then. Habis segala jalan aku cilok nih. Luckily too I was the one driving, if not kesian la Hubby ku kena marah tak pasal2. Hahaha!

Anyway, we arrived home at 10 to 7. And we need to be at the airport in 30 minutes. Papa terus jadik F1 driver nak hantar kitorang. Hehe.. In a way, nasib baik jugak rushing.. takde la rasa sedih sangat to leave the girls behind. And nasib baik jugak I already did the web check-in much earlier. Kitorang sampai ngam2 45 minutes before ETD.

Pastu, flight delayed sejam. Ceh. Buat penat je gelabah. Haha!


Ahli rombongan ke Paris van Java

We arrived in Ban.dung at 2230hrs local time. (Ban.dung time is -1hr from M'sia) The hotel concierge was waiting for us at the airport, so it was not that much of a hassle. Luggage pun keluar awal, Alhamdulillah. Our supir took us directly to Per.da.na Wi.sa.ta hotel. The hotel was quite nice. You know it's been there for years, but yet it didn't look so rundown.

Even though local time is -1hr from our time, daylight n dusk is exactly like M'sia - even earlier I think. So the next morning when we woke up at 6am local time, it was already so terang. And I was so counting to qada' my beauty sleep. *sigh*

We spent that whole day S.H.O.P.P.I.N.G.

First stop was at Pa.sar Ba.ru, then we went to Jalan Riau / Dago. After that it was straight to Ru.mah Mo.de. And finally dinner in Ci.ham.pe.las. And somewhere along the way, we stopped at Rab.ba.ni. I love this shop, walaupun sekarang dah jadi client tetap an-nisaa'. Bought quite a few tudungs there. While we were there, it was time for Maghrib prayers. They made an announcement that business will cease operation for the next 10 minutes and everyone was invited to solat jemaah together. Cool kan?

The next day we went back to Pa.sar Ba.ru as there were some things that we forgot to buy. Pa.sar Ba.ru and the hotel was just 10 minutes walk away. After that we just relaxed at the hotel a bit before checking out.

Then our amazing race started again. We timed it perfectly, i.e. to leave 3 hours before ETD. However, Hubby bought one of those ready-in-a-day suit, and we were waiting for it to be delivered to the hotel. And we waited. And waited. Waited. For almost 1 hour! Finally we got word that the suit was still in Pa.sar Ba.ru, so we told our supir to drive us there. Lucky for us we got a really good supir, he brought us to all the back roads and parked behind the market. Me n Hubby then ran up and had to wait again as the suit was still being delivered to the market. Grrrr... Memang tahap sabar tinggi betul haritu. Haha!

Lucky for us too that we had the web check-in done, so we arrived at the airport with still ample time.

Tiring. But exceptionally happy. Retail therapy is always good for the soul. ;-)
