Bandung Trip part 2

I supposed to continue my 'Bandung Trip part 2' a few months ago, but I was too lazy.

Anyways, here's part 2.

Pine trees. Along the winding road to the volcano site.

In the bus going to the volcano site.

Volcano!! Its still active, according to Anthonie, our tour guide.

Family time near volcano.

We chose to take the rocky route instead of flat ground route. It's fun. It's like mini mountain trekking.

Me and my mum at the bottom of the trek.

Them at the top of the trek.

More family time near volcano.

Me smilling at the camera at the other end of the trek.

This is what the other side of the volcano looked like.

On our way back. I managed to take a look at how they had their wedding in Bandung. Very simple one actually.

Kampung Daun restaurant. We went too early and the place is not ready yet. The place was great. Very green. And this is how they dine in Kampung Daun.

Yea, this is one of the food they have in Kampung Daun.

Us at the waterfall in Kampung Daun.

They watering the plant using the water from the waterfall.

Kampung Daun's floor with daun pattern.

More floor pattern.

This is a white-leafed plant. They are really white.

On the way to Toko Tiga, there's a row of factory outlet store with giant cartoon character. I forgotten what is that street called.

See that orange traffice light? My tour guide said it has been orange for the past 20 years. It was already like this when he was in high school. Traffic lights in Bandung serves no or very little purpose. Serious. Green go orange go red also go.

This is my skilled bus driver. He tekan minyak and brake like nobody's business.

Famous for jeans. Whatver brand you want, they have it there. The prices there are reasonable.

All packed to balik kampung.

They're selling snacks and cigarettes along the high way. Its very common for them to do that.

If you have nothing to sell, you can sing a song or two and you'll be rewarded. That is also very common in Bandung.

This guy try to sell his aeroplane toy.

Our luggage after 3 days of shopping. Good thing its not overload.

I love this picture.

Malaysia!!

Night at the Museum 2

I went to watch this movie yesterday and in my opinion, it is actually quite good.

The movie was hilarious. Mischievous talking monkeys, short-tongue speaking Kah-Mun-Rah king, adorable singing cupid and super slimy sticky octopus.

Basically everything in the museum came to life after the sun set. Even the Einstein Bobble-Head. They're so cute I tell you.

Oh and I love how Ben Stiller plays with his torch light. Very skillful I tell you. Cool 'trick'.

Anyway, the movie was good. Highly recomemded :)

For those who havent watch the movie, heres the trailer.

Weeeeee

I'm back homeeeeeeee

Pissing off

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince

For those of you who havent read the book, this is what its all about.

In Harry Potter and the Half-Bood Prince, as Harry begins his sixth year at Hogwarts, Lord Voldermort wreaks havoc throughout Britain , and the pressure to defeat him grows stronger. Using an old Potions book which previously belonged to the “Half-Blood Prince”, Harry is able to increase his magical knowledge and prepare for battle. First however, he must help Dumbledore discover the secret to Voldermort quest for immortality – the location of his Horcruxes. But the quest for the Horcruxes and the resulting battle at Hogwarts produce a tragic outcome – leading Harry to believe the must head out on his own to conquer the Dark Lord. (extracted from GSC online)

Cant wait for this to be release. I hope it's as good as the book. Here the trailer.



Ps: Im a big, huge fan of potter btw

Asli Day Out

I volunteered for the ‘Asli Day Out’ programme organized by La Salle Center. It was a 3 days 2 nights programme for 30 indigenous (orang asli) kids. The main idea is to bring them to Kuala Lumpur (KL) for a day trip to let them experience the city life that they never experienced before. Basically we went to 3 places, Pusat Sains Negara, Muzium Negara and Petrosains. It was fun and educational. Even for me

We stayed in Kampung Chang Baru located in Bidur, Perak. It is about one and half hour ride from Kuala Lumpur. It is a small community with less than 20 families. They speak their own language, Bahasa Semai. It amazes me that they study in their own language. Like their textbooks and stuff. Oh, here’s a few word I learned. Mah igah means how are you and gah bor is I’m great.

Besides that, I've learn to be thankful of what we have. And not whine about stuff that we don't have. I used to whine alot (still whining, but lesser d) but I've never realise how lucky I am compared to others. Thats the hmm money-cant-be-bought-lesson that I learned la.

I’m not very good with words. Therefore, I’ll just post as many pictures as I could. A picture speaks a thousand words right?

Shall we?

Picture after game session. We were playing dress up.

Aquarium at the entrance of pusat sains negara. Saw that super long big fish on the right? It's as tall as me. No kidding.
Kid having fun
Ots having fun

Me and my group mate!! Hmm from left to right, Ito, Ryzo, Nadia, Sikha, Diana, Yok Idin, Yustiga, Kenanga and Agil

Me and my group again. With two other OTs

In Muzium Negara

Us at the rabbit garden.

This is a cool mind game. You need to calm yourself and concentrate in order to 'move' the ball towards your opponent. Sadly I lost. How to be calm when you're super excited? You tell me la.

Mini earth quake area. You can experience the earth quake shaky-ness in 3 different level. Kinda cool actually.

OTs and kids having fun?

These are the POTs (Pioneer Organising Team). Pioneer because this is the first orang asli programme organized by the center. We are just helpers. Organizers are the bigger bosses.

All of us. POTs and the bigger bosses.

A final group picture with all the kids and Ot's

To sum all that up, I, we, us had alot of fun. Exhausted but fun. Weeee

Ps: Thank you to all the big bosses, POTs, SPNS committe and the kids for this programme.
