Bandung [2007 March 17-19th]

This was a trip I had with my sister and bro-in-law to be. A weekend getaway. We went with Cipaganti Transportation.
I don't remember much about this trip, but we were staying at an apartment room.

At night we went to Paris Van Java, did some shops, I bought a Giordano trousers there, then we ate at a cafe restaurant... Tom Yum Seafood. Then we went to Blitz Megaplex and watched Die Hard 4: Die Harder. It was okay for the action. (^_^)

Singapore Trip 2009

































Okay, here's another budget trip. I had this trip with my best friend Cy. But we're not taking the same flights, neither going there or coming back.

I browsed online to look for backpackers hotel or hostels. And my choice was The Hive: Backpackers Hostel, we're staying in a 6 beds girl's dormitory. I also booked a room at Dickson 81 Hotel for the last night.
My friend Cy flew earlier with SQ flight, and she'll be returning a day earlier. This is why I booked another room in a hotel for the last night.

To be honest, this was my first time flying alone, alone and going abroad too! But it's quite fun, luckily it's just a short flight. When I reached Changi Airport, my twin in Singapore, Josh, picked me up. We had a nice dumpling lunch at the airport's food court. Yum yum....

Bali: Welcoming 2009

Water sport area, Tanjung Benoa, Bali

Happy New Year 2009...

This is a budget trip. I went with a friend from Malaysia, and we have to walk around for 2 hours before we found this place to stay. It's called Bamboo Inn. The price is cheap, good choice for backpackers: a simple clean room with bathroom inside, a double bed, a table with lock, breakfast included.


Not much to say on this trip, but I tried bungy jump for the first time here. I also enjoyed scuba diving twice, jet sky, and parasailing too. Oooo I love water sports. And we're lucky because we got a cheap price for them.

Bali [2006]

This one was a group trip. And it was a lot of fun.
The group consists of 3 girls and 2 guys. Me, Sarah, Mimie, Steven, and William. We rented two rooms at Bali Club Mirrage in the south part of Bali: Tanjung Benoa. There are not too many shops or food hawkers/resto there, but there are a lot of water sports in Tanjung Benoa area.

Distance is not a big problem, because we rented a car. Steven, William, and Mimie had driving license, so they took turns to drive hahaha... The funny and fun part is, we all love nature, food, and photography. So you can tell, we had sooo many pictures.














Bali [2005]

This was my first time going to Bali. My sister's friend came from New York, USA, to visit. So my sister arranged this trip, and I am going too hehehe...

We took a package tour for 6 days and 5 nights. Everynight we changed hotel and location, based on the places we visited during the days. We have Mr. Wayan as our tour guide.



Carita Trip [2000]

This is a vacation I had with my university friends. We were on the 3rd year, 6th semester.
In the 7th semester we should take a practical work in a real company, then at 8th [the last semester], we make our final assignment, the thesist and final art works.

So before we were all too busy with this and that, we decided to take a trip together, and the chosen place is Carita [Anyer], located on North Java, on the beach side. So here's the story:

About two/three weeks earlier, an advanced team go there to have a survey. It was me, Heri, Hanny, and Sisca.We visited some places, and choose Mutiara Carita. Every bungallow stands altone, so it's kinda private enough. We decided o take a 2 rooms bungallow not too far from the beach.

In total, there are 12 of us going to Carita. 7 girls, 5 boys. There are two rooms in the cottage, one for girls and the other for boys. Can you imagine 7 persons sharing 1 room? Hahaha... it was so full but fun. You know, girls... talk untill late night having girl's talk.  (^_^) It was also sooo funny. At the first night, we girls are talking about the love life of one of us [I won't tell who's the one], and she really talk kinda loud. She has a feeling for a guy who is also going to Carita, means he was at the room next door. The two rooms located side by side and the "wall" is not thick, it was wooden and has small holes between the joints. Soooo... we were sure that he and the other guys could hear our conversation.







In the morning, the girls are making rice and noodles, simple and easy. We also take a walk at the beach.
