80s Era

Stumbled upon a blog with these pics. Decided to share them here. I am sure many would have seen these pictures on Facebook but it is always nice to see these people again. No matter how they look like now - balding, weight gain or older - they will always have a special place in our hearts







The 80s was truly a great era. Loved the music and movies. There is nothing I like more than driving back to my hometown after work, listening to my favourite 80s songs.

Bandung & Jakarta Trip Oct 2012

A late entry, so I hope to remember as much details as I can. This trip, intended to be with only me and hubby turned into a family trip - with my mum and brother.

Nevertheless, it was fun and I enjoyed it, especially the shopping :) One thing we could not do was go to the safari - we got caught in a terrible traffic jam and it was raining like mad :(

Was so looking forward to the trip. Left LCCT on Oct 30, 2012.

It was a sad day actually. On 29th morning, my mother woke me up from sleep at about 8.30pm and told me that my favourite uncle had passed away and that we must go for his funeral in KLuang, Johor. So we did and the funeral was held the next day. After the funeral, we had to rush back to KL, dropped my baby at in laws, rush to Banting to drop my nephew and then sped to LCCT. We arrived in time but was told out flight was delayed for an hour :(

Anyway, because of the an hour delay, we could not make it in time for the local bus to reach Bandung and had to hire a car. I think it cost us about RM250 to drop us at out hotel (Pop Hotel, Bandung)

I really loved this hotel. Memang sesuai for budget traveller. I think it was for RM68 with breakfast for two people. We booked through agoda.com

This is our 'ride' in town. We went to Pasar Baru first. Check out the food on street and clothes. Mostly it was the leggings and jeggings.

We had a fantastic Padang dinner.

And after lunch, went on full swing into shopping mode :)

Had Texas Chicken in between shopping

And out total shopping for the day :) :)

end of DAY 1
