Bandung Escape : HT n Food

I need sooooo long time to finish this post. Just because i am so lazy to edit some photos.. x_x

I think i'm gonna be a fat one, or even a pig (!!), since i always eat and eat and eat. My activities weren't so busy recently, so i spent my times with watching DVDs, going out, and of course, eating. Especially, last month, when my friends and me -Happy Team- going to Bandung....

There were promo sales for Surabaya-Bandung flight which must be bought at December, and flight around February - April. And that was so cheap. So, last December, we -12 people- already bought the flight tickets for this trip. But, in the end, there were 3 of us can't join the trip, including Hun :'(. Poor Hun, poor me. Then, i have another friend who replace one ticket with his name. So, we started the trip with 10 people.

However, i was so amazed with that number of people joining this trip -10- !! It was surprised that we can go together for a trip with 10 of us together. It almost all of us. We coordinate our trip together, and having fun together for such quite big number of people to be gathered for. Since last time we went together to Bali, Bangkok, Jakarta, maybe just about 6-7 people.

Well, let's our trip begin...

Day 1 -  We purposely manage our trip from Friday - Sunday, to avoid busy working days, so many of us can join this trip. We gathered together at friday noon, waiting for our flight at Juanda Airport hurriedly. But it turns out they delayed our flight for about 1 hour. 

When we came to Bandung, we already booked two cars to pick up us going to Hotel and wherever we want. So, the drivers were waiting for us to pick up us, with hand a paper written there : "HAPPY TEAM"

.......

Wow... we were surprised... x_x. One of my friend who booked the cars said to them we booked the cars in the name of HT. Haha.. how comes.. But that was a nice greeting to Bandung, since the airport was soooo small.

While some of us check in to the Hotel's room, some of us were waiting at the lobby. And, when we are not doing anything, we used to take a picture. Haha. So, we took some pictures there. Again and again for the next two days (everytime we wait there).

After check in at Hotel. We are going to some cafes at Dago, which one of us said that Dago is quite beautiful place at night. So we go to Sierra. It's nice outdoor cafe which we can see Bandung from to the top. 

Food is quite good, but not the best i think.

Mushroom Cream Soup

It's Late night but we still don't want go back to Hotel, since we just have a very short time in Bandung. Then, someone told us to go to Motzen. That was a beer cafe. It's near Sierra, and same view, we can see Bandung  night light from top. Because its name is beer cafe, so we ordered Beer Tower. Haha. But in the end, no one really want to have it lot.

Apple Struddle which is very very good !!!

Day 2  -  It's quite difficult to sleep in a one standard hotel room within 7 people inside. Even they are 7 GIRLS. Which is so damn loud and very fussy. Plus plus is we are alllll together !!! You can imagine how was the situation. But it's all no matter, since we feel soooooo damn happy.

Today we were planning to go to Tangkuban Perahu and Lembang. A lil late because of the car's problem, but finally we started to Tangkuban Perahu at 10am. So, before that, we took lot pictures again.. Haha..

There are kind of "wayang". Very lot of them displayed at the hotel lobby.

Since we haven't breakfast yet, so we were looking for something to eat, along our way to Tangkuban Perahu. Which we found is the local Bandung's food : Roti Bakar (TOAST) and "Colenak". But, it was super disappointed for us. Call us villagers or maybe Surabaya people is so poor. But we ate Roti Bakar which is sooooooo thin and nothing special for Rp. 25.000,- and it just a small WARUNG. Not even a standard eating place.

Damn !

See how much the price ??

Very thin TOAST !!! so damn common. I also can make this at home

But, when we met our Bandung's friend, he said that near Tangkuban Perahu is maybe already a recreational area, so they raise the price, and that price is quite nor-mal for Bandung or Jakarta people !! Err.....

So, let's not talking anymore about the most expensive toast. We finally arrived at Tangkuban Perahu. It's very nice area actually, but Indonesia always can't preserve their own asset. However, you can see my taken pic below.

We took sooooo much pictures together there. And when i see again just now, i really missed that moment.

Along our way back to Bandung, we stopped at some places. (And again is food place, haha). There was a place sold Milky-Tofu. It looks like common tofu in Indonesia, but inside is very smooth and nice.

Then, next stop, we went to Sapu Lidi (which means broomstick). I wonder maybe this place was built and named during the Harry Potter booming's period. Haha. Look at the S looks like thunder at Harry's forehead. This place looks like eating at the traditional Indonesia's farm. We ate at small gazebo, with no chair. So, we sat at the wooden floor of the gazebo. Food are delicious and very worthed with their unexpensive price. Outside they also sell local snacks.

Next food station, we go to Kampung Daun. This place was so hugeee. You can't call it a restaurant. Just call it a small village, since it's soooo damn large. Its place even has a small river around, and you need to walk through some hills till you can get your table at the top of this location.

Your table is also like a small gazebo, but it feels more natural, seems like a gazebo in a middle of forest. Very nice place. Food is quite so-so. But, it's a lil difficult to call the waiter if you need something.

Last station that night was at Maja House. This one also a good cafe. They also have a hotel and club inside. The hotel looks so nice. They only have 12 rooms, and every rooms has different interior.
Food here is also very delicious. I'm craving now for all the food i ate at Bandung... arghh...
This place i really love is greentea ice cream, with some applechips, which is super super delicious. I wish i could buy the applechip to take home.....

Day 3  -  Time to packing. But nothing to be packed, since we go to Bandung not for shopping, but for eating.

Batagor Kingsley. That was our breakfast menu + Durian Ice Cream. Yummy! I like durian, but i don't really like food which is durian flavor. But this ice cream really nice, so i like it.

Batagor actually is a food, consists for Siomay and Tofu with peanut sauce. It's quite delicious, but not my favourite. I take home for my parents and Hun, they like it so much. I didn't take the picture, but you can go browsing to see how is actually this food looks.

Another food spot we went to before we go home is Primarasa. It was like foodgift center. They sell brownies, banana bolen, and some typical Bandung's snack. We bought quite lot there then what we bought need to be packed in a cartonbox.

Our last journey end in a Hummingbird Cafe. The place was super super cosy. The food were also super super delicious. They mixed the good place with delicious taste and nice appereance of the dining plate. We took a lot pictures also.

This cafe i think is so artistic. Food is also very delicious, and price is so-so. You buy the food including the environment. It realy worthed to eat here. They cook nicely with very nice appereance too, and nice ambience. Good one !

And finally we split into some group, continue our journey each of us. My group were going to airport to take flight back home Surabaya. Some are going to Jakarta, and some are extend in Bandung.

We had last trouble in airport when we want to go back Surabaya, but i'm so tired to write now. I'll write it later in another post.

Maybe we just going out for 2 night 3 days which is sooo damn short and so damn not exclusively nice. Our trip was in very standard class, but i feel so glad we can share our time together. Really. :)

Coming soon next trip... HT...

Just Some Quotes

When you pray for others, God listens to you & blesses them. Other times when you're safe & happy, remember that someone has prayed for you.


The most important lesson from a journey is the journey itself. One day when you've already reach the finish line, you can take a look at your behind, see each lessons you have been through. That was a teacher to made you today. So, enjoy every single moment of your journey. Don't get so easy to give up !!

And this one maybe is an answer to my last post :
When you love unconditionally, it isn’t because the person you love is perfect, it’s because you learn to see an imperfect person perfectly.

(・。・;)

Don't really understand

What is a commitment really meant? What is a willing really meant?  What is a patience really meant?

Her

I don't know if i write this, i am right or not. Maybe people will think i am crazy or selfish or maybe for some eastern people i am insolent. But i really can't stand anymore with HER.

She, i know, try to do all things nice to me. She think about me and my life. She care with me. She want me to be happy, or anything nice things like that. But she forgot how to be a good wife, good mother, and good person.

In the other side, she take control of everything in this house. Still okay if her control is right decision. But, she always made a bad decision. In some cases, i know and i am grateful for everything she did to me. She allow me to go to club, she allow me to go travelling, etc. But, I regret so much that i can't have my own life normally just because of her. 

I can't have my normal house, can't have a normal family, can't have a normal habit, can't choose what job i like, even can't simply choose my own little step. Just because of her. 

I feel like crying when i see how she act to us, how she can be so cruel, so strong, so selfish to this life.

But, i hope, give up is none in my dictionary.

I need to make a clear borderline, how i have to respect her, but she is who she is and i am who i am.

Keep trying..

Keep going..

I can...

You said : The price of liberty...

God, please let me learn and value about this relationship. Guide us within Your way, to get through this with Your best solution...

I never thought, even once, that he is a mistake for me. He let me learnt lot bout life. I am still hoping for the best bout this relationship. Still hoping that he will be my future... I  am sorry if maybe i asked too much. Hun, I don't mean to push u to the corner, or put our relationship to the corner...

Hope you just understand that my heart really value this relationship...

Remind Me

I just made a promise to myself while the last day i was in Bali. And i think i need to write it down, just to remind me again and again. I am just a human who have a sincere heart to love my Hun, but sometimes i can feel lost, i can forget my goal. I deeply apologized
So let me remember, that i do promise to MYSeF to support Hun bout his cardream. Thats
me my ownself said that, cos i know what does it means for Hun. So, i need to understand that suport means i have to give Hun spaces for he doing this things and also with his friends. I have to trust him, put away my insecure feeling, and put away my too-MUCH-thinking.

I have to appreciate what Hun really trying to do his best to me. I have to have a big heart to think positively, and much more listen or obey Hun's. I dont want to make Hun more stress with my ridiculous small problems or even problems with my mind.

 Let me manage my mind and distribute it better. Lord please bring peace to my heart... amen.

Past...

Time flies so fast. Every things happened accompany our journey to grow older, just to make us a better person, a stronger person, and we learnt a lot from that. Even that bad things or good things. Bad things happened NOT to be regrettable, but to be a milestone to push us better ahead. One day, we have to smile and thanks for that.

Kind of Relationship

It's quite a time since my last post. Last month seems i am very often to post. But this month not so intense.

Well,  somehow i just really like to think. And think. And think. Hun said i am thinking too much, and i should stop doing that. When some 'too much' appears, i should immediately shut that thing off. I am trying and sometimes it works. But sometimes when it just too spinning around in my head, i can't stop thinking.

Just like now.

Actually i don't know what am i feeling or thinking or what is bothering me right now. Not so. Yesterday i had some conversation and made me thinking about people's relationship. When i see people around me, i just automatically analyzing their relationship and get the good or bad point from that.

First couple
I know some people who keep their fire in their relationship and they love each other very peacefully. No cheating at all, and they respect their relationship so much. They give all their heart, their feeling, their life completely just to be a soulmate to each other.

Second,
I also know some people who truly in love with each other. They know their partner now is gonna be their future. They respect their relationship, but sometimes they have a lil bit 'naughty' inside.
I realize that people can feel bored or lose their feeling to their partner. So, maybe they had some cheating but just a lil. They know their priority and their limit of the game. My friends, they already married now. So, i think they are settle down now, and they know / commit to their own heart not gonna do that anymore. Cos their time and their life is for their real partner now.

Third,
Some people are not really know what are they doing now. They have a relationship with their partner, but no real direction ahead. Maybe they just think, if we can go on, its okay, so just lets see. While like that, they don't feel really committed to their partner. So, they just can go cheating or have affair behind each other. I don't need to explain too much, i think you all got my meaning.

Well, I don't say that i am very holy or what. We all hope (or maybe not all) that we are the first couple above. But that things i describe above just scared me. Scared to realize the fact of this crazy world. And i hope Hun and i gonna keep our love, our heart completely for each other. Not gonna cheat even just a very very lil. Just believe our love, and trust this relationship.

April Story

Someone is telling me that he's gonna settle down.

For me, 'settle down' is something quite bombastic word to describe someone's change. It seems so extreme, like change direction from north to south, or west to east. When i heard about that word, i think about someone who wants to get married, maybe he/she had a crazy life before, then they left all their past behind and start a new life to build a family with his partner.

But in his mind, even he is not gonna married in the near future, he is going to settle down. Which means that he'll gonna concern more for his relationship. He's not gonna left all his life behind -like in my bombastic mind when i heard that word-. But he is trying to balance and make a clear priority. That he's gonna value his relationship more.

Maybe he's not going from north to south directly, but to southeast or southwest. What i called it in my dictionary? Hmm.. maybe being a lil more serious, more committed to their relationship? Whatever. I already got the main point of his thinking.

And that was my Hun...

I was a lil bit upset before when we had an argue. Feeling so sad for our fighting, also for our argue's topic. And i don't think that Hun is going to say like that. Actually i feel very happy. So glad. Not just an ordinary glad i ever wrote here before. Maybe this feeling is called feeling safe and secure.

I appreciate so much this Hun's confession. Thank you for thinking, considering, and deciding this thing. I feel a lil upset before, but i consider and realize that when you already decide, it means you are really sure with what are you doing. A single-processor boy with so many things in his head and he is trying to do his best. Not only for me. But he also need to value other people beside him. I don't want to imprison ourself. I still want Hun or me doing our things. I still want him can express his life. Cos that's why i fell in love with him. But after he said like that, i'm sure now even he is doing his things, sure he knows what is he doing

Today is Palm Sunday and we went to the church together.

For us, these days we also note about Qing-Ming day. It's a chinese culture, a month to remember our family who already passed away. I helped Hun to do a pray for his family today. Hard to desctibe my feeling, but clear i know i feel good to do that. Moreover, i am happy that Hun allow me to do that. Allow me to know and pray for his mom, his dad, and his brother.

I'm praying for our relationship. To be blessed. To be reminded to value each other effort, and we're not gonna stop to learn or understand each other.

Thanks God for today.
