Running Errands At Jakarta (Plus Foodventuring)

Was running errands at Jakarta 2 weeks ago for 4d3n, well yeah and a lil bit of getaway. Doing a little survey of this and that and then looking for a reference books for my final project. And of course, meeting a lot of people whom I loved! Nothing beats the feeling of meeting someone you've not seen for years! It's like a volcano of joy just exploded from inside my body and then there's a tad of rainbow vomit, okay that one is gross lol. Below are some of places I went to that's been documented on my camera (on day 3 I was to weak to hold a camera lol but seriously.)

1. Colette & Lola

It's my first stop just after I landed on Jakarta, waiting to be picked up by Devi

bubble gum beads column, so friggin cute!

Cakes and dreams! It's like I'm in Katy Pery's California Girls music video lol

2. Three Buns

Couldn't not love this place at first sight! Great design indeed.

See, this place have a very good natural lighting, which then creates an immaculate ambience.

The squads that day. And no that's not my big brother, we're somekind of panda siblings by the way lol.

Our hungry faces lol.

3. Pasar Santa

Of course my visit won't be complete before I visit this the most talk-about place in Jakarta.

The famous black hot dog with the most queue in Pasar Santa. It tastes great btw.

This greasy-looking fried banana is as delicious as it looks. Me want right now :(

This sexy milk bath cake is too die for! My favorite among others! That's banana milk btw <3

This is from taco-cat. It tastes good, nothing tastes like crap here in Pasar Santa, seriously.

4. Devi's Apartment

Loving this minimalist space, small but it feels spacious. And loving the monochrome look.

Spotted the gift we gave for Devi's farewell!

The view from Devi's room. Foggy and dream-like in the morning.

I was having such a great time at Jakarta, met some friends I haven't see in a while, and it does feel so good to catching up with your long lost friend. I wish I could stay longer and having more time talking with them. Thank you everybody for sparing your time to catch up with me! Looking forward to see you guys again :)

First Post in 2013

it's been awhile not stumbling upon this thing, well I blame my activity for this.. or my laziness haha. so I'm already on new semester here and things got pretty overwhelmed, it's still early semester but I feel like deadline is already chasing me down, they're trying to pin me down continuously. but that's not the highlight of this post, what I want to share is I enjoy 2013 so far, it's been treating me really well.

let's take a joyful trip down memory lane for a moment here..

1st my GPA from last semester has a startling result.. in a good way :D it's not that high but for extremely lazy student like me, the GPA result is pretty good. I couldn't get any happier than this and I'm very grateful upon this GPA, God is indeed very kind hihi.

2nd I was doing an internship in Bali last month! yes Bali! can you imagine staying in Bali for 1 month? it was indeed an incredible experience. the internship was all fun and useful, the people are so nice and warm, the boss is really kind-hearted and down-to-earth, also my friends here are super supportive and awesome. I'm enormously thankful of this rare experience, I mean what could I ask more? everything is perfect. I truly am so blessed by God's never ending grace :)

well i guess that's it.. oh and here are some panoramic shoots I managed to take back then, enjoy ;)

panoramic shoot of the beautiful ocean taken at uluwatu, what a superb view

panoramic shoot of Nusa Dua taken from GWK, it's up on the hill and we can see the city from up here

panoramic shoot of one of the site I visited, it'll soon be occupied with a villa with majestic view

another panoramic shoot of the site from another stand-point, the vista is awesome, no?

and here is a panoramic shoot of amori villa, it's located on the hill and it is a very romantic villa

Mint Color Fever

I still haven't recover from mint color fever. it's just.. there's something magical about this color that whenever I gaze at it, somehow I always feel calm and relax and fresh. the color is just super dreamy, no? ♥

A Perfect Getaway

at last I have a few days off from the vicious assignments, they finally declared a truce (temporarily sadly). last friday is an ied adha day, a big day for the Muslim, therefore making the weekend one day longer. oh yes I do love long weekend, but well who doesn't? people in a parallel world maybe haha. anyhow on this lovely long weekend, my family gathered here in Yogyakarta (minus my big brother unfortunately) to take a short trip on this super short holiday ☺ and guess what? we went to the beach! woohoo finally I got another chance to witness this impeccable creation ♡♥ damn I've been craving for this since my holiday in Bali, I was beyond excited the moment my mom told me about this plan. well I guess I won't talk much, I'll just leave the pictures here ✌

here's the beautiful beach: be careful of it.. it will literally take your breath away by its charm

the picturesque horizon: where the sky and the ocean meet, creating a relaxing view

the sea shore: place where people releasing the negatives, remain them as happy people

the ocean wave: which sounds can cause you to be chill and calm.. and happy

my little brother being friendly and playful with the ocean ripple

and here's my dad keeping an eye on my little brother whilst enjoying the ocean's breeze

a bendi by the shore: bendi is a vehicle pulled by a horse, I bet the horse love their workplace here :p

pastel color is sure enticing, it even works on this bendi ♥

yes it is the same bendi as the prev photo, and no I didn't shoot it deliberately haha

it is indeed a perfect getaway ☮♡ I really enjoy every moment of it, big time, no regret at all baby no regret. anyway have a magnificent day people, I hope your weekend is as good as mine :)

The New Adorable iPod Touch

have you heard about the new iPod touch? what do you think? me? oh gotta say I'm in major love with it! I instantly went googley eyed at the first sight, I merely can't take my eyes off it like literally ❤ the colors are just super cute, no? well forgot the pastel cambridge satchel thing, I'll save my money for it instead ;) here take a glance at the cutest iPod ever (yet) if you haven't had the chance to witness it, please contain your excitement people :D

do you fancy it as much as I do? what's your favorite color? I fell for the pink one. well if only it comes with mint/tosca/turquoise color I will be gone more ecstatic I suppose hihi. but yeah unfortunately it doesn't come with that color so pink is okay, it's my 2nd favorite color. anyhow apple just launched the new nano iPod too - which comes with tosca color *sigh* - and yeah of course the exaggerated iphone 5 which in my humble opinion isn't too brilliant, it's just the longer version of iphone 4. well aside that.. have a bright and colorful day people, may the joy be with you :)

Cambridge Satchel: Pastel Edition

aren't you as excited as I am when you first witnessed this adorable thing? I mean come on.. it's cambridge satchel, first and foremost, and it's combined with pastel color which make it way waaaay more adorable, cuteness overload! I merely can't contain my excitement at its first sight, it's just the perfect bag that I've always fancied, a sweet treat that would brighten up my day in an instant. consisting of 4 alluring colors; duck-egg blue, lemon, lilac and rose pink, this cutie sure will pull out any outfit you wear ;)

duck-egg blue

lemon

lilac

rose pink

so which one you fancy the most? me goes to the duck-egg blue or I'd like to call it as mint color :3 I'm currently in love with this color, it's just have this soothing-effect to my eye, relaxing indeed. yeah anyhow this adorable thing costs big amount of money and... it's out of my budget *sigh*, so I think I'm gonna save some money from now on. I hope it's still last when I have the sufficient cash *fingercrossed* >.<
