Bali Day 1: We felt like hobbits in Garuda Wisnu Kencana

Published by in backpack, indonesia on June 13th, 2010

Our flight from Jakarta was on time. So after less than 24 hours, we were off to Bali. For those who have no idea on how far is it, imagine this. Java island is the main part of Indonesia. Yogyakarta is slightly at the middle, probably more to the west. Jakarta is at the far west of the island. Bali on the other hand is an island at the far east. It’s so far that the time there is +1 from Jakarta, lol. Most of us if not all, knocked out as soon as the flight took off. The next thing i knew was Angeline waking me asking if i wanted to eat as the stewardess were selling their onboard food. Flying from Jakarta to Bali, we were onboard AirAsia Jakarta and so they have certain food that aren’t available on the Malaysian flights. So we tried the different variety they had and they were definitely delicious! After filling our stomachs, i could barely sleep and started meddling with all the ridiculous apps i had on my iPhone. Before i knew it, the captain announced that we were landing shortly. Finally, BALI ! The Bali airport reminded me of Penang

Jakarta: Taxi = Alphard

Published by in backpack, indonesia on May 29th, 2010

It was like 2 months before our Yogyakarta + Bali trip and i received a message from AirAsia notifying that our connecting flight in Jakarta got canceled and it was scheduled for the next day. After going through all possible options, the best outcome was to spend a night in Jakarta itself. Since Jakarta was never in our initial plan, we had to find the cheapest place to stay so that it doesn’t blow our travel budget. Before the trip, Angeline and i googled for transportation, food as well as places to stay. Estimated cost was to be less than RM150. It was raining when we arrived. As i looked out of the window i realized AirAsia Indonesia had a bus to ferry us from the plane to the terminal. WHAT a relief! Imagine getting soaked in the rain >.<! The clip is kinda fuzzy. Took it with my trusty e71 The terminal that we were in was some sort of like low cost terminal but definitely better than LCCT. As i said earlier, Angeline and I have done our homework on the price of the taxis. That enabled us to be sure of what to take. I was told

Roti apa kamu mau?

Published by in food on May 3rd, 2010

I was waiting in front of a stall for my roti naan to be done when I was suddenly greeted by a small kitten right in front of me. It kept purring which got the attention of one of the fellas from the stall. He took the kitty away and returned. He immediately got behind the stall and started massaging the dough. “Roti apa kamu mau?” he asked. He never washed his hands.

Yogyakarta Day 2: Swimming pool filled with wives

Published by in backpack, indonesia on April 27th, 2010

After Prambanan temple, we headed back to our guest house and packed. Some of us took a quick shower while some waiting at the lobby. We were only asked to pay before leaving which worked in my favour, as i had no idea how the place was gonna be and paying over the net wouldn’t be ideal. We got into our van and left for the Water Castle which is in the middle of the town, nearby the fun fair we were at the night before. As i have said in the previous entries that we only had less than 24 hours in Yogyakarta because of a last minute change in our flight schedule. That didn’t really hamper our plans, we just had to make sure we used the time well to cover the three main point of interests in Yogyakarta. The first day was dedicated for Borobudur, simply because it was really far. The next morning was Prambanan, which is actually on the way to the airport and after checking out, we would drop by Taman Sari, which is also on the way. The Water Castle also known as Taman Sari acted as the bathing complex for the then

Korean Restaurant gets invaded by Thai Villager

Published by in food on March 29th, 2010

It was more than 2 weeks ago that some of us decided to drop Amcorp Mall to pay a visit to Joey’s stall. He was selling some items from his shop which is based in Kelantan. Before we went there, we had lunch at Haeun Khon Restaurant. It was a Korean / Japanese / Chinese restaurant and it seems to be famous for it’s kimchi sets. I wasn’t mentally ready to torture my mouth more over i was dead hungry, especially after queuing up like a cow for close 2 hours to ride a hot air balloon. That i will talk about in my up coming post. This was Angeline’s, which was too vege-ish for my liking. When i am hungry, i definitely need meat and not make myself greener. Nevertheless it tasted quite ok.

Yogyakarta Day 1: The nightlife laughter that haunts you

Published by in backpack, indonesia on March 23rd, 2010

Very often i would read other people’s experience in Indonesia but rarely they would document the night life and in this case Jogjakarta a.k.a Yogyakarta’s night life. A few weeks prior to our departure date, i tried looking up google for any pictures or videos on the Jogjakarta at night but to my avail there were barely anything. Probably because there’s basically nothing to show other than the typical night markets that are scattered all around town. Fortunately for us, when we were dropped in the middle of the town there were quite a number of things that were going on. First off there was a movie shoot and on the other end of the road there’s their local funfair. We headed towards the night markets in search of light snacks.

Yogyakarta Day 1: The arrival

Published by in backpack, holiday, indonesia on March 2nd, 2010

After our Cambodian invasion last year, we decided to make this trip a yearly event which consist of countries from South East Asia (have to keep budget low to pay for PTPTN XD ). To make matters more interesting, Ai Ling suggested to make it a point to visit those places listed in the UNESCO World Heritage list. Having heard about Borobudur so many times from our guide in Siem Reap, Si Ya, we KIV-ed Jogjakarta until the right time came. The right time was when AirAsia had their crazy ZERO SALES and a quick check on Jogjakarta showed that it will cost us only RM 54 to go there. We all made our reservations without any hesitation. Later on Bali was added into the plan and towards the end, Jakarta too forced it’s way in. Over the months, Angeline and I plotted all POIs (Point Of Interests) for each stop we were making and in this case it’s the town of Jogjakarta aka Yogyakarta. Initially there were more points but due to time constraint only a few made the cut. The day finally came and the trip started with the Penangites flying to KL the night before as there

Mistaken Gender

Published by in just for laughs on October 27th, 2009

Before leaving work, i thought of getting myself some kuih since i was going to be in the jam for 40minutes. So i went to the canteen. Bang, yang ini berapa ? *points at the karipap* (Brother, how much is this?) Saya ini Kak ler ! (I am Sister ler !) Ok probably the English translation is kinda weird but the point is, i thought the person selling behind the stall was a man @.@! I ended up buying with a super thick face as the lady stares at me >.<!

The Chronicles of Cambodia 6: Eating the embryo

Published by in adventure, backpack, cambodia, experience, food, fun, holiday, just for laughs on September 17th, 2009

I am finally BACK ! I am BACK blogging. Curse facebook and twitter for taking up my blogging time, LOL. Anyway i am back here to finish off my Cambodia entries with the second last entry which is basically the 2nd last day in Siem Reap. For some reason i think it was a bad idea shooting this particular shot in sepia cause it emphasizes how dirty the hands were. If you didn’t already know, the egg looking thing in the plate my friend is the unborn ducky -_-! It’s known as Balut in the Philippines.

Rear Seat Belt Compliance

Published by in fun, personal on June 10th, 2009

I simply heart Penang food; Char Koay Teow, Laksa, Ais Kacang, Balik Pulau Durians … It has been a while since i have updated my blog but trust me, i have tonnes to write and i am just waiting to get back to KL to do so. In Penang, i am always busy doing chores or busy sleeping >.<! With Apple launching the new iPhone 3GS, Macbook Aluminium joins the MacBook Pro family and also Snow Leopard, my car too had an update. A safety update to be precise. After a few days without my car, i finally got the call from Perodua saying it’s finally ready ! This time around, i changed quite a number of things since it has just surpassed 180k km and the damage was slightly less than a thousand. On top of that, Perodua finally fitted my car with rear seatbelts
