My Bandung Story

17 days since I got back from Bandung and only now I'm posting these pictures here on Blogger.
Have been swamped with work at uni not to mention all the tests and exams we've had to finish.
Anyway.
Our short family vacation was a good one.
If you don't count the number of hours Air Asia made us wait thanks to a VERY DELAYED FLIGHT.
Just thinking about it riles me up, seriously. Bloody assholes made us wait more than 8 hours until our flight actually took off and we haven't been reimbursed!
All the nagativity aside, however, the place was really very nice. 
Crazy traffic, very friendly (and good looking) people - I kid you not about the good looking part - pretty good food (although I am still not and will never be a fan of nasi padang) and the shopping was to DIE for.
*swayswoonsigh*

Sizzling kale (kangkung) with chicken and lots of other stuff. Very Chinese.
One of the Baptist churches we passed along the street where we stayed on the first day.
Behind the walls of Rumah Mode. One of the many beautiful factory outlets selling branded clothes and leather goods. We spent nearly 2 whole days here. Have never been so lost for choice when it came to bags and clothes omg.



Soto with glass noodles.
And rice and some salad.



House of Donatello. Leather. Leather EVERYWHERE.
The street where we stayed at Grand Serela.


Like Coke here, it's tea there.
This was one of their shopping malls: Paris Van Java. Very interesting concept with all the major brands.


Shopping street where we stayed.

These are like doughnuts with different toppings except they're actually slices of toast.


This was as good as it looks :3
Another shopping mall near the hotel we stayed at.
Real or not real? :P




Aston Tropicana Hotel.
We flew back in the afternoon and reached the airport in the evening. Flew back to Johor the very next morning and was back in class the following day.
Looking forward to my Cambodia and Bangkok trip with dad next year. Father-daughter bonding time.
Nyah!

Table Topics: Judgement & Understanding

Took one of my classmates out today coz she needed to get some things. She's been through a lot. Nothing I will disclose here but we had a pretty long chat in the car once we got back. And it's really true what they say about never judging someone before getting to know them. She opened up to me about everything that was going on. How she felt about things. How she was dealing with things. And at the end of the day it all boils down to understanding. There's a reason behind the things people do. It's simply a matter of accepting that reason and understanding them for it and them helping them get through it. You hear stories about married couples going through a divorce. It's really not an option anyone should think about after marriage. After all it's for better or for worse, right? But what if sometimes it becomes too much to bear? What if sometimes things get impossible to handle? What if that's the reason divorces happen in the first plac...

To Date.

I've recently been nominated for the Liebster Blog Award thanks to a friend of mine I've only known via Facebook for some years now. The blog post for that is still being drafted. I've been posed some pretty tricky questions /;) Haven't been blogging as frequently as I used to coz I didn't bring my laptop back home this time round. Didn't think I'd have much use for it. Things have been a little...crazy here to say the least. I'm actually twenty-one now. Though I must say, the word 'freedom' was never synonymous with this age. All I ever related to this milestone was responsibility. Funny. It's been such a rollercoaster ride of emotions. I could never completely describe it. I've been thinking about how I've celebrated my birthdays all these years. Two birthdays I celebrated away from home. My eighteenth, which was in the UK with Aunty M and Uncle T, and my twentieth, which was in Johor with my classmates and a once...

Of Ends & New Beginnings

Eleven months ago I was about 20% suicidal. A lot has happened since then. Graduated just three days ago. It was really very emotional for me because I never really thought I'd make it this far. I'm actually a doctor now can you believe it? Many years ago I wrote something about myself that I felt made perfect sense. & it really has this past year; "If anyone were to fall for me, I daresay it wouldn't be for my looks, but rather the way they get to be themselves when they're with me." I have learnt so many things this year. A lot more than I have in a while. I've learnt not to judge anyone solely on the way they look, because even the ones most displeasing to the eyes have qualities about them which you cannot help but to love and admire. If anything, or if something is meant for you, you will have it somehow. You may have to walk through hell and back to get it, but it will be yours for the taking if that's what God has decided...
