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!

To Date

Very happy to say that I've settled nicely into the new place. Everything's set up and unpacked and it finally feels like home. Everyone's very friendly here. So helpful. Traffic isn't that bad. Places are close by. We get everything we need. The only downside is that there's no cinema here. Which means I'll be traveling up north frequently now and I can't wait. This semester doesn't exactly seem like a particularly busy one so am really looking forward to some traveling.  Just finished watching Northanger Abbey. Was checking my hair with the phone's front cam and one thing led to another and I took about twelve selfies just like that. Heh. I tell you the things I do when I'm alone. Completely hooked on Downton Abbey. Finished season four and half of season three yesterday. Can't wait for season five to start. Also waiting for season eleven of Grey's Anatomy.  I  have unlimited WiFi. No more quota nonsense so have been ca...

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...

It's Dr., Now!

It's been 10 days since my final professional exam & announcement of my results. I'm a doctor. & though I've been studying my entire life to reach this stage it still feels so surreal. It still feels like I need to head back south to continue with classes. Like I'm still on some semester break that is going to come to an end. Every so often throughout my day it hits me; I don't have to study anymore - for now at least. But then this though gets clouded over by other things & I forget. I have to constantly keep reminding myself that I've made it. I've actually, finally made it this far. As daunting as this whole new chapter - that's about to begin - is, part of me is excited to start. I'm excited to see where my future takes me, not only in which field of medicine I decide to pursue but also to which place. Big cities are out of the question for me. I realized, over the past couple of days, that since I've left th...
