Finally, HI AGAIN BLOG!
Laptop is like a third forgotten husband these late days and blog becomes pretty much like an abandoned stepson. Time flies real fast, eh?
So, I spent last June having series of endless trips from heres and to theres. The one page that had the whole tale started,
the kosans international trip 2.0 ladies and gentlemen.
Unlike the first trip (Singapore Jan 2011), this one was marvelously well planned. Bought the ticket a year in advance, thank Air Asia, JKT - KL - BKK - KL - JKT only costed us
IDR 578.000 included tax and hotel fare and other blah stuff.
Above is my mighty team. The girls from the same old kost.
For old friends, yes I DO gain lots of weight. I tried every tips suggested to me and no one worked. Instead of becoming some smokin hot ass, I just turned bigger each day. Yes, this is how stressful I am.
Maybe I should spare one separated post analyzing about the rapid growth of my fat bank.
Before I keep on blabbering like a dumb, let's put this body talk aside. I'm not really good at words
(at least not right now). Will just spread the pictures and caption each one of them. All shots were taken with my
Gallasandro.
There he is!
Was too lazy to bring any digicam, I would be too busy sightseeing anyway. And that turned out to be true, fyi. Everyday I woke up feeling so worn out with my whole legs feeling numb, and in the end of each day I got back to hotel with bunch more pain. Couldn't wait a second to call my mbok pijet back at home.
Groovy Lime McFlurry.
Just so you know, malaysian McD is slightly cheaper than indonesian's. After couple days, I found out that thai's is WAY cheaper. With bigger chunk of chicken (and less oily, which results a more-appetizing look), bigger coke glass, and bigger fries (I ordered 2 huge chicken, XL fries and XL lemon tea for around THB 70, with 1 THB taken equal as IDR 300).
The bus that took us to KL Sentral, where the hotel were.
We chose My Hotel, which I personally stated as the best hotel I stayed in during this trip. Comfy room, free and fast wifi connection, and if you add MYR 10 for each room (one room was triple bedded) you'll get free breakfast. There are 3 My Hotel branches in KL Sentral only, the one with inclusive breakfast is the first hotel you see from across the street.
Thank goodness it didn't explode.
I'll give my vote straight away to any governor who can give us Jakarta people THIS.
Show your passport at the information desk at Suria KLCC, get tourist discount at dozens chosen outlets.
The Braun Buffel water Rissa is always proud of (while practically it was just some random drinking water brand with the label changed).
Look what we accidentally saw.
Charlie Brown Cafe!
I have to say that the dishes were disappointing and overpriced. The menu book wasn't even well printed, like the menu sheet you might find in local street food stalls. We came there only for the cute interior. But well, doesn't mean that you better not eat here. One visit won't hurt you anyway.
Move to Bangkok.
It's supposed to be Suvarnabhumi anyway.
Though the service was below okay (most of the people working there didn't speak English well, some even didn't speak it at all) and the wifi connection was unreliable (it was very slow, hardly worked in my room, when in my friends' room it was super rapid) the room itself was a real definition of comfort. And they could pick you up from airport to the hotel, for free.
Oh, they sell drinkinK water. And condoms. On food menu.
Got these 2 phone cases and wallet in a street market very close to my second hotel.
FYI, Galaxy S2 cases were everywhere. While in Jakarta it's damn hard to find some good ones, most of them are just plain Capdases...
Second hotel. It was HUGE, HUGE, so huge we thought at first that we mentioned the wrong hotel to the taxi driver. And we spent only IDR 70.000/night/pax for the room. And it's a 3-star hotel. WHAATTT
These are only 2 between almost a hundred pictures of myself there.
Ladies and Gentlemen, if you travel to Bangkok, try this one. SERIOUSLY!!!
Banana Hokkaido Milk with Matcha Soft Cream @ Fuku
Where all shopaholic cults gathered...
Last snap of the holy Nasa Vegas before we left.
Next destination.
Moving to Khao San Road, just few minutes from the Palace.
One tuk-tuk is supposed to fit 3 people, and as you might guess, yes all the 6 of us took it together.
Medea Dwintari, 20, squeaked in joy after seeing this place. Must be very familiar for Running Man fans.
Fira's banana milk pancake. Only THB 20!
Back to KL again before going back homie.
Might look like shower from year 2525.........
For first timer, do ask how to use this if you don't want to get slapped hard by hot water.
This time we stayed at Arenaa Mountbatten Hotel in Chinatown. Considering Chinatown is quite big, you'd better take a travel service from airport. Take the bus on the airport, they'll drop you at a spot where a car has waited, then take you straight until your hotel's door.
It was the only hotel room with 6 beds, hence we didn't have to divide groups for 2-3 rooms like before. And this one had the coolest interior. But the wifi connection was the poorest of all.
Closed the trip with some street food hunting.
Nasi Lemak (MYR 1 each) and some satays (MYR 1,5 each).
The sauce tasted bit weird for indonesian tongue, my friends and I said.
And a splendid-tasted Indian food, just few steps across the hotel. Tasted good with friendly staffs (if I could call them so). Look just like nasgor teri and mi goreng tek-tek, I know...
That's all. I flew back home with only THB 1000 left inside my wallet (I started the trip like a fatass boss, then ended it up like some street kids).
Duh. I can't even find a kicking punchline to end this. Seriously. I think I've lost some brain cells during these couple months (not that I used to be a wordsmith with brilliant poetical DNA or what, but still).
I'll just end this then. Until later people.
