Day 2 of Bandung start of with a buffet breakfast at the hotel. After breakfast we explored the area surrounding the hotel. Our hotel were situated at Jln Riau which is in the mid of a factory outlet area. We went shop hopping after a while me CY and BT stop for CY to get a waffle. To our dismay that time WS and Boey went missing and were no where to be found. We look around the premise and but still could not find the so we ask the customer service counter to page them. The 1st announcement made by the operator was in Indonesian so we requested them to re announce in English in case they did not comprehend it as we surely did not. The operator had some difficulties translating the message into English but after help from the manager and google she manage to make the announcement in English. Still no signs of WS and Boey after the announcement being made so we head back to the hotel hoping they would come back as we could not call or text them at the time. After some time and some help from Harry we manage to reunite back at the hotel room. We took an half an hour break before departing to Bandung SuperMal for lunch and some sightseeing. We had lunch at the nicely furnished cafeteria at the mall. The security was extremely tight for a mall as we need to pass through a metal detector and have our bags check before being allowed to enter. I had nasi timbal for lunch there before deciding to skip the theme park beside the mall. That theme park is *hope i still rmb* 2nd largest in Asia. We walk around the mall and saw an interesting barber for kids. We headed back to Jln Riau's factory outlet. We shopped there till dusk visiting shop after shop. After the tiring shopping we walk back to the hotel for some much needed rest and to find a place to have dinner. We finally decided to go to Sierra Cafe and Lounge for dinner. They serve a reasonably priced steak and the flavours are not too bad either. The view from the cafe was spectacular and the air was fresh and cool. Ambience and enviroment was great apart from being a little too chilly when the wind blows. After that we headed back to the hotel to get a much needed rest after a long day. Before turning to bed BT suggested we do a little night walking which ended up with WS having supper at a local 'bistro'.

Post indon (1)
Last week I had a great time at both Kuala Lumpur and Bandung. I went down to KL with BT on the 30th of July along together with CY. Went to 1 U right after arriving in KL and only reaching to Bukit Jalil after 6. The next day was filled with fun with the outing to the classroom cafe. We played several very interesting board games in our few hours visit there. It is situated in SS15 nearby to asia cafe. After the ame we still managed to squeeze in a supper at murni subang before arriving back at around 2.30 for a short nap as we are due to depart at 7 to catch a flight to Bandung. The 1st day of Bandung was fun and tiring due to both too much activities and too little rest the night before. We rented the cab for a whole day for Rp. 350,000 which we thought was a bargain until we calculated the fare in the 2nd day. We went to Tangkubuan Prahu at 1st where we saw hot springs of different temperature situated just side by side. We also saw the volcano crater at the top and some tea plantations on the way down. Before Tangkuban Prahu we wanted to stop for food but alot of the shops were close so we just ended up eating mee bandung a shop on the way. We had a rather nice satay sapi (beef) on the way back from Tangkubuan Prahu but the satay ayam and satay kelinchi (rabbit) were just so so. After the satay stop we went to the factory outlets around setiabudi street the shopping of the day. Went back to the hotel for some much needed rest after setiabudi. At the hotel all of us were relieved by the news that we had all passed our EOS 4. After refreshing we went to Jalan Dago to have dinner there. I did not dine there as i find the conditions there are unappealing but that did not stop WS BT CY to feast. We also experience a foreign KFC and McD that night. The fast food there serve rice instead of fries in some of the set and the burger in KFC is cheaper than anything i have seen just for Rp.5000. That's it for day 1, will be updating about day 2 & 3 plus the photos soon.

End of semester 4
After weeks of studying and undergoing exams, it finally over !!!!! I had an average after examination celebration which turn great in the end. We went to midvalley for karaoke and Harry Potter 7 part 2 after the final paper Drug and Disease 1. Lots of my batch mates went together we had 5 rooms each filled with a party of 5. The day was uneventful for me till 'she' came with her friends to open a sixth room. I muster up some courage and manage to join in with them for a while before we had to leave for harry potter. It was a great finish after such a long story and we had dinner at the taiwanese shop at gardens. On the way there I saw her again from afar...... we had a great time during dinner and after it with the cameras and goodbyes.

Planes flew by (2)
Day 2 brings us to noodles *forgot the name but something like wantan mee* for breakfast after that we headed to 1 of the malls in Port Dickson. It was empty as it was like juz 11 but i guess it will not be very crowded either judging from the amount of shops occupied. We visited a nicely build park for some photo shooting after the trip to the mall. Lunch was the next agenda on the schedule so we headed back to town to this old coffee shop which serves amazingly great chicken chops. Still savouring the taste of that chicken............. We headed back to WS home to escape the heat of the afternoon sun after lunch and hang by there till around 4 or 5. We headed to a sports club in Port Dickson next. We played tennis, ping pong, went swimming till around 7.30 and we rushed to have dinner at another place where they serve great dishes. We had a nice joke about the fish that night. After dinner, hmmm..... i think we went to town to eat dessert. After dessert everyone were tired so we just head back to WS place for some PS 2.
