Bandung - Day 1

Helllooooo!! Assalamualaikum... :))

How do I start with Day 1 in Bandung... There is not much story to tell about... Huhuuu.... Sebabnya its a tiring and sleepy day for both of us... Since well...the night before Mr Husband tak tido, whole night at office to clear his job before going on leave, came back at 4am, took his bath, and straightaway gi umah my parents coz my bro yang hantar gi airport.. The flight was at 6.30am! Huhu... I pon the whole night lah tak tido because tak boleh nak tido, too excited maybe! And busy packing the luggage yang nak dibawa...

The journey basically took about 2 hours and 15 minutes... Tapi sebab ada timing difference kan, so we arrived at Husein Sastranegara Airport Bandung at 8.00am... Dah blurr masa tu taktau nak buat apa dengan 2-2 mengantuk nya.. Haha.. Thot of taking Blue Bird punye taxi since they said its using meter so the price will never goes wrong. Tapi tak jumpa plak yang berlegar2 kat situ.. So, ambik aje lah yang kat kaunter.. Not so bad, 43k.. Around RM15.. Bolehlah kan.. The taxi go straight to Grand Serela Hotel.. Terus buat luggage check in.. Since masa tu baru around 10am, takleh lah nak masuk bilik lagi.. We can check in only at 2pm.. Kalau bolah check in awal, sure 2-2 dah membuta.. Huhu.. So we were just waiting for motorcycle rental people to come at the lobby... Oh lupa nak cakap, memang plan nak naik motor je pusing2 Bandung! Hehe... Since takde anak lagi kan, so we were thinking buat apa nak bazirkan duit for supir.. Baik rent a motor jer senang nak gerak... Nak jalan to FO pun tak payah, naik motor aje.. Hehe.. The idea I got from forum cari... Ada orang yang suggest if pergi berdua better rent a motor aje... And the fact is so true.. We save a lot there.. Baik buat shopping the cost for supir tu! The cost of renting the motorcycle for 4 days is 300k... 65k per day, 20k for extra helmet and 20k for cost dia nak hantar and ambil the motor.. Tapi the last day tu kena bayar extra 40k pulak sebab terlebih hour.. We supposed to return at 12pm, tapi since flight kol 7 malam kan, better sewa until 5pm.. Not that expensive pon.. So why not kan? BTW, this is the website to anyone yang nak rent the motor :))

Ok... Sementara nak tunggu check in time at 2pm, we went to jalan2 at FO kat Jalan Riau tu aje... FO yang sempat masuk cuma Calamus and Heritage.. Calamus tu tak best... Heritage ok laa... Just do a quick survey aje... Tak beli apa pun since 2-2 tak berapa ada mood kan... Then we head to Pasar Baru Bandung.. Tanya direction from brother yang ktrg sewa motor tu.. Almaklumlah takde GPS... Walaupun dah download the map and siap printed out lagi, and beli map lagi, but let me tell you, the map memang tak tunjuk the jalan sebenar... Dengan takde sign boardnye di setiap junction, we have really had to stop by to ask people how to go to each places.. Huhu.. Sempat lah bergaduh2 ngan Mr Husband.. Kadang2 dia tanak ikut cakap I, end up dia salah, kene marah lah kan, kadang2 I pulak tanak ikut cakap dia, I pulak yg dimarah haha.. But after 3 days, we managed to master the road! :) Ye lah kan stop around 20 times kot just to tanya orang.. But to me it was a valuable experience! Naik motor kat negara orang, bukan semua orang bleh buat kan? Banyak lah jugak words yang dipelajari ahaks... For eg, "pertigaan = simpang tiga", "perempatan = simpang empat", "titip helm = simpan helmet" hahaha... mau dititip helm nya? hahaha... mula2 pandang orang tu and reply, nggak fahammmm... kakakaka....lama2 kita plak cakap kat dia, bisa dititip nggak helm nya?? hahaha...pastu bila tanya, jauh nggak jalan nya? dia jawab, "jauh..lumayan.." haha...maknanya, agak jauh ler tuh...lumayan lahh sangattt...kalau cakap English, memang tak paham langsung diorang nih, reply in Endon jugak...

BTW, pasar baru tu memang bahaya pergi! Haha... Mmg rambang mata!! Bertingkat2... Theres' 10 level if I am not mistaken... Tapi tempat beli barang2 around 5 level jer.. The rest is tempat makan and barang2 basah... Its a pasar afterall...Mr Husband mmg takde mood that day untuk beli barang... Dia pening sebab ngantuk.. Pity him... I felt sleepy too tapi sebab dah nampak banyak benda to shop kan, lupa lah ngantuk! Haha... We survey2 the price dulu... Survey harga suit for Mr Husband... Tapi dia takde mood nak buat pilihan pun.. Kapla fenin... But for me, I sempat grab 6 helai telekung! Huhu... Then we look for kedai curtain.. Since jahitan dia akan ambil masa, maybe 2-3 days, so kitorang pun gagahkan diri jugak untuk pilih kain.. Huhu... To us the price dah really2 murah dah compared to KL price.. Kalau the same material in KL was like thousand plus, close to 2k masa buat curtain dulu.. But here with day curtain and blackout curtaion, we can get like RM680. Its considered cheap to us kalau nak compare ngan first time buat curtain tu.. Tapi tak buat curtain for our room sebab tak jumpa yang berkenan di hati.. Huhu...

We had lunch kat level atas the pasar... Theres so many kedai, and bila sampai je to that level, orang2 dia sibuk lahh datang nak suruh makan kat kedai diorang... We have to tolak nicely lah.. Huhu... Then Mr Husband nampak ada this one gerai named Cibiuk.. Sundanese food... Dia pernah makan at the same kedai at Puncak, Bogor when he went to his client the other day.. So dia suggest makan there... Sedap jugak not bad.. But the nasi merah, I cannot take it.. Rasa macam hampas... Haha.... I think it was from beras perang actually.. We use to eat beras perang jugak tapi I always mix it with beras biasa... So the taste was not so hampas laa... Tapi ni mmg beras perang semata... Urghhh... Really cannot take it... The rest of the menu was ok.. We really loved sup ekor, so sup bontot was not a problem to us! Coz its just the same :))

After lunch yang dalam kol 3 jugak, we went back to hotel, check in and zasssssssss... Tido dengan nyenyaknye!! Woke up and siap2 nak pergi dinner pulak! Haha.. Makan tido ajer! Its a holiday afterall :p Elok aje nak keluar, tayar motor pancit!! Huarghhh... Gile ape baru sehari dah pancit... Rupa2nya bunga tayar tu dah takde...Nasib baik lah pak guard tu baik hati, pinjamkan his motor.. Tanya dia nak byr berapa, dia kata bagi je berapa nak bagi.. Baik kan? So we gave him 20k... Mencari lah pulak jalan nak ke Jalan Cipaganti.. Sebab nak pergi Kedai Dahapati... Ni dapat kat forum cari jugak... They said the speciality is sup bontot... But it was not so tasty lah actually... Maybe jugak dah sampai lambat, so tinggal yang bawah2, tu yang a bit salty... I ordered soto ayam... Too oily... Huhuhu...

Balik bilik, terus 2-2 zasssssssssss again after solat... We hope tomorrow will be better for us to shop and do everything that has been planned! Sebab dah segar kan esok hari nya :)) Esok pagi jugak orang motor tu akan datang to replace with a new one.. :))

My first day grab - 6 telekung.. I love white telekung... In fact, I don't trust other than white telekung.. No creme, no off white.. Only white.. Huhu...

This is our first day expenses... Rasanya macam tak banyak jalan tapi dah incurred so much?? Kalau tengok betul2 its because of the curtain...  :)) Till then... Day 2 akan menyusul....
