Bandung 2011 - Day 1 (Part 3 : Kampung Sumber Alam)

Wow, it's taking me ages to even write my first day in Bandung for 2011 huh??? Apologies are in order as I've been occupied with my work lately, which isn't going on well. Too many rejected candidates. Sigh..

Ok let's move on from my work and back to Bandung. We stayed at Kampung Sumber Alam in Garut during our first night in Bandung. No, no NOT that kind of "first night". Haha.. It's time for some time in kolam air panas!!! WeEeEe.. The place was awesome and the view even better. We were surrounded by mountains. Weather was cooling too. We went for a dip during the night and the water was hot hot hot. What you expect??? It's a kolam air panas maa.. Haha..

*That's WELCOME in Sunda*

*My Sis with her BB*

*My dinner*

*They serve it during breakfast.. MmM..*

Since it was already late at night, I was only able to take photos the next day morning. So peaceful. Apologies for not owning a proper camera. Had to use my BB Torch, but im pretty happy with its photo quality. Turns out pretty well. Huhu.. Check out these photos.







After spending the night in Garut, we head back to Bandung. Oh ya.. We stopped at a chocolate shop/factory along the way. It actually sells chocolate + dodol. Weird ain't it??? But it tastes really good. It's called Chocodot (Chocolate Dodol Traditional).  Not bad after all..

Bandung 2011 - Day 1 (Part 2 : Nagreg Hill)

I do have to apologize first and foremost regarding some photos I posted for my Bandung 2011 trip. Some were not good quality photos as I used my Blackberry only for this trip. Last time around we had Madee. Oh well, at least most of 'em were ok, right?? Hehe.. Ok, back to the trip. After checking in at My Family Guest House (check out their FB page), we headed to Garut (except Brader & Kina) for some hot springs!!! OoO yeah.. But before we head to Garut, we went to Nagreg Hill (dragon fruit farm). There were about 30,000 dragon fruit trees there. And the view, was awesome. The weather was so cooling. Though the journey took us about an hour to reach. I couldn't care less about the journey as I truly admire the hills/mountains creted by God..

*View from our van*

*View from the farm*

*Cik Man looking at the view*

*Another view*

*Sape amik gambar sape ni?? Hehe.."

*Another look at the view*

*3 Stooges*

*Eaton sisters. Eh, where's Kak Nana???*

*Me & the truck driver*

While we were there, they invited us for a small feast. At first we were all still full from our lunch. But when we saw the hot steamy rice, chickens, salads and more sambal, we just couldn't resist. We ate just a lil bit but the dish was good. They treated us with those amazing dragon fruits. It was nothing like we had in Malaysia. It was purple-ish and tasted amazing. Unfortunately, i do not have the photos. Too busy eating I guess. Haha..

*Scorpion was there to greet us too*

*It was super indeed*

*That's the dragon fruit*

*Nagreg Hill*

*Cik Man & Ieja wanted to jump into the empty pool or rather falling*

*Cik Man playing with his iPod after some meal*

On a funny note, Ieja met one of her long lost friend, Mr Scorpion. AaArRrGgGHhH.. Hehe jangan marah Ieja :P There were other dead and alive insects/animals but just didn't want to scare Ieja even more. Now, I regret not doing so. Hehe..


Bandung 2011 - Day 1 (Part 1 : Bye KL, Hello Bandung)

Hi folks.. It's been awhile since i blog. Been busy with work and it keeps piling up everyday. With news my boss is leaving, it certainly doesn't help. Heh.. I wanted to write bout my recent trip to Bandung with my family, but I just had no time (my lazy-ness actually. Haha..).

Our flight from LCCT was at 9.20am. Last year we were called one-by-one by the counter for being late. This time, oOo YeAh, we were prepared and we came early. All the way to LCCT we had to listen to Poco-Poco songs played over and over again. Haha.. Some were sleeping (and headbanging) and some were chit chatting all the way.

*My luggage*

*Mum prepared breakfast; french toast..MmM..*

*Fadh was headbanging*

*Boarding time*

Me, Ieja and Kak Nana just couldn't stop tweeting/4square-ing. We even tweet while we were on the plane. Mengada kan? Haha.. We were so excited to head over to Bandung and just relax our mind off things. Wait!!! It gets better (to know more, read the posts coming up). Hehe..

*Dada & Fadh, upon arriving in Bandung*

*Kak Nana & Dada*

*Kina & Brader*

*Cik Man & Ieja at the front*

*My lunch*

*Es Cendol*

*Like soOo cHeAp*

We had a rough landing in Bandung, but was entertained by a young boy who shouted, "Wei, brake wei.. BRAKE WEI!!!".. Those who heard it laughed like mad. It was a funny moment in the end. Haha.. Once we arrived in Bandung Airport, we were so hungry. Went for a quick lunch nearby the airport at Ampera restaurant. The food was magnificent, especially the sambal's. There were 3 sambal choices. All were.. YUMMEH!!! I ordered Es Cendol and look at the picture I posted above. The cendol was HUGE!!! Good too!!! No need to mention the price. Worth it most definitely.
