Reasons WHY I want to live in Bandung

• the weather

Due to its topology, climate in Bandung is relatively cooler throughout the year than most of Indonesian cities. The average annual rainfall ranges from 1,000 milimetres in the middle and the southeast region to 3,500 milimetres in the north of the city. The wet season conforms with other Indonesian regions, around November to April. The average temperature is 22.6°C, cooler than most Indonesian cities. Info from: bandung tourism

• the fresh produce

the soil is very fertile due to the sulphur from the infamous inactive volcano- Tangkuban Parahu. Read more here.

Tangkuban Parahu

In my previous trip, I had the opportunity to pick Brazilian black cherries. We also got a few dozen boxes of strawberries and raspberries from the street vendors in Tangkuban Parahu. Yummeh!!!

* Selama ni tak tau pun cherries can grow like that, tee hee hee

• the scenic view

2nd pic ni technically kat Puncak, otw to Jakarta,

tp basically Bandung punye scenery camni gak :p

• shopping haven / heaven

Malls ada, factory outlets, jgn cite. Bekepuk! Ada one street esp for designer jeans lg. Tak pecaya? Cekidaut. And designs baju ikut season. Last time I went tgh krazee on caftan like muslimah designs. Ni bukan yg gaudy and bling2 hokay, tp very tasteful and simple. I loike x infinity. Paham2 je lah kalau PSKS tepaksa menjalankan tanggungjawab membeli-belah kan?

• architecture

Org Bandung yg mana middle to upper class tu, mmg tasteful. Rumah mmg besar bapak tp takde la mcm taste datin2. Ada influence Dutch sbb dulu dijelajah mereka kan? Wud also explain why ramai org bandung putih2 gebu, awoooommmzzZZZzz. Anyway, rumah sana tak kire yg lama atau modern, mmg ada nilai2 estetika yg memikat jiwa saya. Labour pulak damn cheap, wadoooh, and dia punya ukiran tahap pergh! Looking into investing in properties there ;)

• delicious food

Ni kalau cite sampai 2013 tak habis. Fresh produce mmg easily available, so the food is always oh so fresh, alhamdulillah. Bile dok Bandung nanti, kene rajin2 exercise (shopping pun kire exercise la kan?), kalau tidak, takut takde yg kenal balik KL nanti, hik hik hik

Sate Balibul- Kambing BAwah LIma BULan

Gurami aka Talapia Goreng

Sambal Colek- Condiment WAJIB

*Oh, ada park/hangout nama Taman Ice Cream ok!!! tak dpt gi sbb tutup masa tu, dang it!

* Ada gak Cimory Yoghurt- they actually milk their own cows at the barn bawah kedai ok!!!

*Oh, and every man's aphrodisiac- susu kuda liar... I tak sudi try :p

• Bandung is a city of flowers

Girls and flowers... enough said :)

Sama mcm fruits, flowers senang nak tumbuh due to the soil and weather. Kuasa Allah swt, alhamdulillah

• Proximity to Jakarta

On a good day, Bandung is 2 hours away from Jakarta- where I left my heart. Kalau dok Jakarta, macet 24 jam, so Bandung is the next best solution, tee hee hee. Wiken2 bole visit sanak sodara, ahaks. AND Bandung is just a 2-hour flight away from my shweethearts in KL. Sudi-sudilah visit PSKS di sana nanti. InsyaAllah kite jjcp besama di Indonesia, amin.

Oh, and i forgot to mention yg kat Bandung ada Magnum Cappucino hokay! Kat Jakarta pun takde lg. Tp hr tu tak sompek mkn sbb bz shopping, ngeheheh

So now you know why I love Bandung (^-^) v

I LEFT MY HEART IN JAKARTA

and they say I don't have a life

test ni i tgk kat tengku's blog. the objects in the pic are what symbolizes the person i am (supposedly lah). memandangkan i takde keje masa tu (masa tu je ke? hmm), i pun try la bendalah ni. dpt la gamba ni. the description of the objects i cedok dr blog tengku which she cedoked from mimpimurni. so, here it goes:

Sock Monkey - Everything's better with a monkey in it. Monkeys are fun, smart, and optimistic. You got this crafty monkey because it reflects your own delightful optimism and playfulness. Or maybe you like bananas?

Friendship Bracelet - Your buddies will be overjoyed to learn that you've drawn the Friendship Bracelet. It stands for sociability and your talent for making each friend, online and off, feel special. So very special.

Crayons - The symbol of unpretentious creativity and art. You are almost certainly imbued with a child-like curiosity and an unfettered imagination, enjoy self expression and bright colors. You are child-like, or may actually be a child.

Friendship Pin - an unbreakable bond between you and your BFF. It shows you are loyal, willing to wear your love on your sleeve (or sneaker).

Letter Game Tiles - You like your fun and games on a cerebral level. Stretching your mind and beating your friends is as enjoyable to you as zoning out in front of the TV is to the hoi polloi.

Perfume - Appearances are not limited to the visible sphere — you are well aware of that, for you are The Aesthete. Beauty in every sense is your lofty goal, and no detail of that is too small to escape your scrutiny.

Ni my own two cents:

Glamour girl mag- well, nuff said

Statue of liberty- freedom throughout the world yo! sing it wif me y'all- FREEDOMMMM

Padlock- macam tau2 je org ada issues wif keselamatan harta benda.... oh and i also like to lock up my feelings from those i don't fully trust

Pendrive- erk, saya tak celik IT. tanyalah sifu saya. tp mungkin ia menggambarkan perjalanan IT saya yang masih jauh :p

Clear Quartz- menggambarkan my interest in beading and semi precious stones? hok deng

Party favour- refer to my gtalk status- 'born to partay, forced to work'

Compass- i do like to travel to different places, learn new things, experience different cultures (and most of all shop, tee hee hee). it's the journey i loathe- bad back n buttcramps, sheesh

Rocket- i'll be blasting off to space soon? hmm, interesting...

Leap Year... Declan I Heart You

Pix from yahoo

hari tu layan lg leap year, cayaq la dgn declan tu. these are some memorable quotes from the movie:

Anna: When my 60 seconds came around i realized i had everything i ever wanted... but nothing i really needed. and i think what i need is here. and i came all this way to see if you maybe think so too. If you do, well... i don't really have plans past that, which is new for me. So, Declan O'Callhan and i should probably learn your middle name, here is my proposal; i propose we not make plans, i propose we give this thing a chance and let it work out how it works out. so what do you say, do you wanna not make plans with me?

from: imdb

Declan: I don't want not to make plans with you. I want to make plans with you.
Anna: You do?
Declan: Yeah I do.

from: imdb

Bride: May you never steal, lie, or cheat, but if you must steal, then steal away my sorrows, and if you must lie, lie with me all the nights of my life, and if you must cheat, then please cheat death because I couldn't live a day without you.

Imagine My Surprise

Me: I think I’m in love.

BFF: Yeah? So which Korean celebrity is it this time?

Me: Haha, very funny. Seriously, this time it’s for real.

BFF: So, who’s the lucky guy?

Me: This is where it gets tricky… He’s my brother’s best friend.

BFF: You know what you have to do right?

Me: Keep my undying love a secret forever?

BFF: No, tell him how you feel!

Me: Who, my brother?

BFF: His best friend, Einstein (eyes rolling).

Me: Sure, when hell freezes over.

BFF: C’mon, what have you got to lose?

Me: My pride, my dignity, my life. The list goes on. I mean, what if he tells me to get lost?

BFF: You’ll live.

Me: You’re just so supportive, aren’t you? (eyes rolling)... I’ll think about it.

A few days later

BFF: Have you told him?

Me: Seriously dude? These things take time.

A few weeks later

BFF: Have you told him?

Me: Still building my courage. Gimme a break.

A few months later

BFF: You’re never going to tell him are you?

Me: C’mon, have faith.

A year later

Me: Guess what?

BFF: What?

Me: I told him.

BFF: And I thought I’d never live to see this day. How did it go?

Me: Good.

BFF: AND?...

Me: Imagine my surprise when he loved me back :)

Someone who loves me very much

went to Korea and got me this :)

to the future

That feeling you get when you love someone and that person loves you back: PRICELESS

To my future husband, whom I’ve yet to discover who, I pray that we love, respect, cherish and accept each other (flaws and all) till the end of time, amin.

Though I may (in time) forget to tell you everyday,
I love you, in every possible way.

Forever, InsyaAllah.

Capiche?
