Bandung 11-12 Aug 2007

After weeks of planning, me and frens decided to go Bandung as our weekend getaway for 2 days 1 night. This is the 2nd time this year since our last getaway last March where we went to Anyer Beach. Here we are 4 girls (Me, Joel, Anita, Fenny) and 5 guys (Willyam, Adi, Fajar, Suhgus, Yoga). It was supposed to be another 5 (Tjong & Henny, Willy & Mia, Asen) but these guys were not be able to go due some reason. Eventhough it was a relaxing and fun weekend. Imagine if those 5 ass*s were able to join too... i guess it will be more disaster.

>>1st DAY<<

We reached Bandung at 10am with first destination Paris Van Java - the newest happening mall in town. Not much crowd as most restaurants and boutiques are just opened. This place reminds me a lot of Bugis Junction (Singapore).

Guess boutique @ Paris Van Java

We had our lunch at Boemi Joglo ~ so secluded and hidden place we wonder how our friend, Anita get to know this place. Food is average but environtment is perfect. What could be more enjoyable than having lunch in a windy afternoon accompanied by your frens?

I love this small pond so much

Next destination to Cisangkuy where we ate yoghurt *yummy*. We checked-in to hotel after that and rested like 4 hours before having dinner at Paskal Hypersquare, also a new food market offers lots of varieties. They got local band singing Indo top charts. So enjoy my time here. Not so early to end the night, we went to Sierra Cafe & Lounge. Anita (in green) had her Bday and we decided to surprise her with Bday cake.

I call it San Fransisco Van Java *lol*. It was cold here and the night scenery just breath taking. Look up and count the stars.

The guys bought 18 bottles of Heineken before we back to hotel. Our fren Yoga who was the target of our 'bully' that day was getting tipsy after his 3rd bottle and had "can it be more than a fren" confession to one of the girls (not me) *lol*. We only slept at 3.30 am only after Yoga being forces to sleep by his cousin~Suhgus. Well... he pinched his own cheek and kept saying "I'm not drunk.... I'm not drunk". See! So late and sleepy yet we still kept laughing.

Who is the *lucky* girl?

>>2nd DAY<<

We wanted to try out House Of Strawberry earlier but the road was blocked on that day. Was too hungry therefore we decided to have lunch at Kampung Daun*. I've been here at night earlier this year and can't decide which is a better scene. Day or nite?

*means Village of Leaves

Lunch was great (at least my meal) tho' abit pricy but with the atmosphere it was definitely worth it. If we were not that rush to go back Jakarta, I will suggest to take a short nap. Pillows are available *zzzzz*. We went Vipassana Thai temple which became my routine everytime I go to Bandung. It never fail me when asking for guidance. Vacation end as we headed to town to buy cakes and local food. Time to get back to real life. Guys... it was a pleasant weekend with you all. Hope you all enjoy the same.

Next destination guys.... Bali?
