Lek: be grateful… see i’ve uploaded (even though its outdated)

Est: my hair is slightly longer.. planning to visit the saloon again soon..

As from where i left the last post, it was only the third day.. i spend six beautiful days in Jakarta, how am i to finish?? can i simply short cut everything?? can la..so.. here goes…

Third day we droved all the way from Jakarta to Bandung (well Pak Bas drove actually, we were all pigging in the car) Bandung is well known for its factory outlets. The weather is similar to Cameron Highlands but the traffic almost same to Jakarta. Our main purpose to Bandung is to shopped and we DID.. Shirts are very cheap although we sometimes question the genuineness. The one place that we love most is ‘Rumah Mode’, spent very long hours going thru their stuff and also loading up the car. The rest of the day was spent walking around shopping and competing who shopped the most.

They have big , fat & friendly fishes in there.. and we were like total ‘jakun’,got all excited bout the fishes..

We did not have any hotel reservations so we went around checking for the best rates and ended up in Hotel Gemilang. Affordable rates with fantastic rooms. Pool view, clean to the max and best of all we only paid RM40/per pax (three in a room) only downside was the heater was not working well and water icy cold.

Our rooms facing the pool..Cool..

RM120 for this.. very good bargain.

Later at nite, Pak Ken took over the wheels and we headed to The Peak. It was a long and scary journey to nowhere but when we reached our destination, speechless. The view from that place, SUPERB. Its hidden in some village route that tourist might not wana travel but definitely worthwhile. We had our late dinner and it feels like I’m having dinner in some posh place like ‘Smoke House’.
