Sushi Tei @ Plaza Indonesia

My last day in Jakarta before flying back to KL tomorrow. I'm had a little crush with Jakarta city now..kinda reluctant to leave this suite room, this big city, these big shopping malls, and etc.

We went shopping at Plaza Indonesia and Grand Indonesia. I love their shopping malls! It's much bigger than our Pavilion and other malls in Malaysia. And the brands here are so updated..hehhe! I told the boyfriend that we should come here more often than staying in KL all the time. A week in Indonesia makes me getting used to their lifestyle and culture and their language. Aku bisa paham bahasa Indon tapi ngak bisa gomong lagi! (I can understand bahasa Indon but cant speak yet!)

Just now we had dinner at Sushi Tei. My first time dining in Sushi Tei, which is actually the Sushi Zanmai/Rakuzen in Malaysia. The portion in Sushi Tei is the same as Rakuzen. I'd still prefer Sushi Zanmai because the portion is not that huge and you can order more choices.

Ordered seafood fried rice because the illustration is so tempting. In actual, it's okay only. We couldnt finish, so tapao back.

That's us in the 'ruangan'.

The waitress asked us, "Ibu, bisa di ruangan?"

I got stoned there. I dont understand what's ruangan. I looked at the boyfriend.."what's ruangan huh?!"

I know his understanding is worst than me. I asked the wrong person..hahha!

Then a nice lady beside me explained, "Ruangan is room."

"Oh i see..thanks!" I smiled.

Ruangan means room. We called that bilik in Malaysia right?! Hehhe i learn a new word today.

Rp 270,977. A meal costs two hundred over thousands! Hehehhehe..

Arisan Lunch


I had lunch together with my downline, Gina and her friends. Before this she smsed me asking to join her for arisan lunch. I have no idea what arisan means. I thought it's a place or restaurant's name.

Yesterday we went to La Mode (if i'm not mistaken) for fine dining. It's a monthly gathering for those housewives..that's what they called arisan. They knew each other from the cooking class last time, but had already stopped now. But they still have this gathering every month for a meet up.

It's nice meeting up with so many new friends whom are much elder than me. Some can even be my mum! In fact they're still so outgoing and cool. Hot mammas!

And the toilet attracts me..

It's kinda interesting. I thought it was a room before I entered. And then found out that it was actually a toilet..cool!

And later a friend told me that Arisan also means a gathering for those rich housewives.. Hmm great lifestyle right? All they do is shopping, cooking, meeting up, gathering, traveling and etc. I wanna be like them too! Any arisan in KL?! Hehhe..jk!

The rich in Jakarta is extremely rich and the poor is extremely poor. That's the gap between these two categories of people. Hardly you will find those middle income people. Or maybe we havent meet any of them.

And Blackberry is fans is all over Jakarta. Almost everyone is using Blackberry but I'm not sure which model. If i'm not mistaken it's something like BB Curve/Bold. I want one too! *hints the bf* ;)

Shopping In Bandung

Satisfaction!

That's the word that can best describe my shopping sessions in Bandung. I have my own sweet time to shop in Bandung because I only arrange one appointment there. I spend half day working and almost 3 days shopping around.

Before I flew to Bandung, I've already checked out the biggest factory outlets in Bandung and discovered there were few. The best one is Rumah Mode, which is very near to our hotel, New Sany Rosa Hotel. Just 5 minutes walk.

I went to Jalan Riau also, where the entire street is filled with factory outlets like The Secrets (I love this place also), Cascade, and etc. But only 2 outlets are okay in Jalan Riau, the rest are very small and you might not like it.

So far I love Rumah Mode best. I started shopping in Rumah Mode on the last day before leaving to Jakarta. Bought almost 10 items from Rumah Mode, 3 items from The Secrets and 3 items from Orange outlet in Bandung Super Mall.

The entrance of Rumah Mode. At this time it is closed already..did my shopping til the very last minute of their business hours.

We both had great time shopping in Rumah Mode. Both men and women section are equally balanced, the choices I mean. My bf used to complain that the women's section are also more choices than men's section.

At least now he's happy.

I'm luckily to have my dad and the bf to accompany for shopping in Bandung. They both have good patience. That's what you should look for in a guy..hehhe!

Our hotel.

This hotel is very convenient if you want to spend all of your time in Rumah Mode. But it's convenient to get around in Bandung, to any location also it's alright because Bandung is just a small town.

Opposite out hotel is the 24-hour McD, Pizza-Hut and seafood restaurants. Nearby there's also a supermarket. Kinda convenient.

I'm blogging from Jakarta now.

The bf and dad had left to the antique market, and I'm lazying in the hotel room.

The weather outside is hot and I'm freezing in the room. P/S: Qianhwei, does this phrase sounds familiar to you?! Hahha that's what you tweet. Now I understand your feeling at that time.

I'm having an appointment tomorrow and Tues I'm free again. Most probably will go shopping at Senayan City or Plaza Indonesia, as recommended by Sarah.

Bandung..Here I Come!

I'm flying to Bandung today!

I'm so excited to visit the factory outlets in Bandung and to shop till I drop! Hehhe. This is part of holiday plus business trip. In Bandung, I could say it's the entire shopping trip. When I reached Jakarta on Sunday, it would be all on business trip.

Will be back next Thurs. I'm bringing this mini laptop I'm using now and also my DSLR, before it gets too rusty..lol! So I guess I can update when I'm in Bandung/Jakarta.

See you guys! ;)

I Dislike You, LeeWeiJen

I got pranked by Lee Wei Jen..

Hmmpf! I called to ask him about the booking of KLM flight from KL to Jakarta, and that fella told me something stupid but I believed him.

Me : Hey weijen..how can I book the KLM flight from KL to Jakarta?

Weijen : Very difficult to book wan la. You gotta login to AirAsia.com and book tickets first. Then you click upgrade flight to KLM. You have to crack the secret password wan la..very hard to explain. Need almost an hour to complete all the cracking. Very mafan wan..I dont know how to explain lar..

Me : Then how?When u're free to teach me how to do the booking?I wanna book aredi la..

Weijen : I'm not free lar..later going Genting..bla bla bla

Me : U teach me now lar..tell me how to do it (via AirAsia website)

(I was thinking how come should KLM flights must be purchased from Air Asia, but I didnt think much. I thought maybe KLM and Air Asia has link or what lar..)

Then he started laughing..

Weijen : Why you so stupid wan?! Of course book KLM flights thru KLM website la..

!@#$%^&*(#$%^&*

I hate you Weijen!


I told the boyfriend about it and he laughed at me too! He said," Where got such thing as booking KLM through AirAsia wan..!"

Ishh! I'm too blur..

In Love With..

Mini laptops! I'm now blogging with my sister's Dell Mini 10..and it's so fabulous! I'm getting used to mini laptop now, esp when you can easily slip it into your handbag. I borrowed her laptop to bring it to Jakarta with me next week.

I'm in Gurney Plaza now with the boyfriend, having a cuppa Caramel blended while blogging. That's what we do to avoid the hectic traffic jam back to BM.

I bought a laptop case for my sis, it's pink and purple. Very pretty. And yesterday I got her a white optical mouse to match the black Mini 10. I found something new.

I walked into Sony Centre and saw the latest Sony Vaio W series 10.1 inches. The berry pink is so damn pretty! I want it pleaassee..

pink-vaio-3
pink-vaio-2

I told the boyfriend I dont want Macbook Pro anymore. All I really need is a lightweight laptop where I can carry it anywhere I go. Store it in my handbag and I'll get to online anywhere I go! This laptop is RM1999, which is kinda cheap, as it has 160GB storage. The weight is around 1.1kg only!

Absolutely suitable for me!! Hehhe..will consider it.

Last time I used to complain that mini laptop aint good coz the storage is too small for me. If I'm not mistaken, previous models only have around 60GB right?! Now at least 160GB is good enough. I'm using Dell Mini 1011 for few days and I find everything goes on smoothly.

The boyfriend agree with me using mini laptop as he can check the shares pricing via amsecurities everytime we're outside. Hmm added advantage..heheh!

I'm going back to KL tomorrow. Supposedly this Saturday I'll drive back alone, but since the Shinzenbi training for all CP will be held in KL as well, so I'll just participate in KL.

My plans for eyebrow embroidery, facial, shopping and hair treatment are canceled. Maybe the next trip when I'm back for Raya holidays.
