So...
DAY 2...
All of us woke up late!!!! Yeah cuz we only managed to sleep at like 4ish in the morning and we had to be up by 8am.
We really didn't know what we were going to do the entire day until we received a phone call that the tour guides are going to bring us shopping!
WE WERE SO WAITING FOR THAT SINCE DAY 1.
It's a newly opened factory outlet!
You can find TONS of different brands. I'm completely clueless about the authencity though.
I found a beige Mango blazer-it looks and feels real....cus the quality is darn good(SGD$20), pretty shorts for sleeping (SGD$3) (i am a weird person, i like buying clothes to sleep in LOL), berms for Daryl (SGD$20), slippers (SGD$2)......and a lot more! Freda & Peggy spent WAY more! They got like reeeeeally nice shorts! The things in this mall weren't exactly CHEAP-CHEAP though....heard there are a lot of factory outlets along Riau Street!
Bandung is very well known for it's factory outlets! It's a GREAT place to shop at because the things are really really cheap there!
I did my research and this are the more famous places to go to when you go to Bandung,
Rumah Mode
Jl. Setiabudhi 41F
Bandung
Tel. (022) 203-5498
Dago Stock Ekspor (DSE)
Jl. Ir. H. Djuanda 52
Bandung
Tel. (022) 423-7532
Not forgetting the famuos, Jeans Street - Jalan Cihampelas (it was just 1km away from the place we were living in!) for Jeans and Cibaduyut for shoes.
I know a lot of people think of Bangkok when they think of shopping but once you step into these malls, you'll realise that Bangkok really isn't THE BEST because its not as cheap as shopping in Bandung. You will be shocked because the military jacket was from Bandung!
After our shopping spree at The Secret, we headed to Paris Van Java.
Paris Van Java is a gigantic and beautiful mall! There, you can find shops like The Face Shop, The Body Shop, La Senza, Mango, Guess.....even Charles and Keith-how come i didn't know there were so successful!
Really cute white doves specially imported from Holland! They are sooooo special!
They even let peacocks walk around this level!
It's really funny how these animals are so free but have flew/ran away! Also wonder why no one stole them....they are so cute!!! Hahaha.
We went to the top level of Paris Van Java to check out the SUPER PRETTY CLUB. It's so huge....nicer than zouk...or any clubs in SGP. SERIOUSLY. It is sooooo grand inside!
Sadly i didnt snap any good pictures of the inside cus it was really dark!
The top level is also where The Secret Garden is!
It felt like i was in bird park or something! You can see all kinds of birds there!
Poor peacock
They had this butterfly cage where you can go in and check out the flowers and have pretty butterflies fluttering all around you.
I didn't go in though. Am scared of butterflies and moths....i am actually scared of all flying insects. Bet i'll freak out and run all around if a butterfly gets 1cm near me....BUT IT'S A FREAKING CAGE THERE'LL BE BUTTERFLIES ALL OVER! OMG....
Thank goodness i didn't go in. I'll be a butterfly murderer at the end of the day. Might even have to get new butterflies for them.....what if i caused some rare breed to extinct because of my screaming and violence....
Haha.
We had to leave but this big birdy was sitting there posing for us so even though we were running late, we just had to stand there snapping 20 pictures of this bird. It was really like a photoshoot for this bird. It was like changing positions and everything....lol.
After the secret garden, we were brought to this place at the top level of Paris Van Java
where we had our yummy buffet dinner and then shopped some more!
Didn't manage to get anything because we were sooooo broke after shopping at The Secret. We didn't wanna bring much cash out because we didn't know Bandung was such a great place to shop at!
Now Day 3!
We woke up just in time! Went down for breakfast!
Breakfast was really really good!
We were supposed to go climb some mountains on Day 3 but we were unfortunately LATE and had to miss out the fun. I REALLY WONDER WHAT IT WAS LIKE!
So we didn't know what to do and went back to our apartment to take a nap...
Then came a call and a private van came to pick us up to go for more shopping! :)
HORSE ON THE ROAD!
The horse looks super pretty. ESPECIALLY THE TAIL. Now i know where the word "pony tail" came from man. However i wonder why they have to wear that weird...what i would call, face bra, on their face. The butt so nice...I WANNA SEE THE FACE! :(
We went to Heritage & Cascade, two malls joined together!
I bought this!
This place is filled with clothes and i LOVED the outer-wear there. Freda and i managed to get some really good steals there! SO HAPPY!!!! I really wanted to get another black blazer and vest and the chanel-ish dress.....BUT SADLY I LOST MY CARD THERE. :( So i could only afford just 2 jackets. OH WELL...guess those weren't meant to be mine. :(
We went back to the hotel immediately after that because the driver had something to attend to so we lazed in the hotel and ordered room service!
DAMN GOOD CLUB SANDWICH! :)
and we bought tons of snacks to keep us company.
We slept till night time and headed down to the lobby to use our lappies till late.
Then slept!
Waking up on time for Day 4 was MOST IMPORTANT. So we were super early! We were like the first few down for breakfast at like 6.30am! Kiasu us....but if we were to miss the bus, we wouldn't be able to catch our flight....
Hahaha.
The airport is really small. I was shocked because it looks a lot like .... the JB check point? I dont know what you call that but when you reach JB, the part where they stamp stamp your passport? Yeah like that! Just a few tiny shops not much seats....Cannot believe that was the airport!!
Hehehe i know the sunglasses make us look like we're stars. (pic from peg's blog)
But it was cool...because i bet a lot of you haven't experience Bandung-Indonesia. I HAVE!!!
You must must check this place out. ESPECIALLY IF YOU LOVE CHEAP SHOPPING. The air ticket is also very cheap! About $1xx max?? From AirAsia!! GO AIRASIA!
Flying with AirAsia was a pretty good experience. The in-flight food looks and smells soooo good! There was this little girl beside me eating what i think's Nasi Lemak in the air bus...i wanted to steal her food please :x. The friendly flight attendants who are readily there to serve you make the flight so much nicer too. Now who says you have to pay a high amt of money to get good service??
I really enjoyed this trip and i am soooooo thankful for having this opportunity to go on a sponsored overseas trip! I never ever thought i'd be able to do this in my entire life! So really....thank you AirAsia and Nuffnang! :)
