Vacation

Hi !I'm back from my vacation! well actually I've finished my vacation on Friday,but since then,I've got no time to update my blog since now.so many things happened and I wanted to tell you all so bad !
first of all,my destination on this year's vacation are Bandung and Jogjakarta,the reason I choose those cities are because.....well,I'm not choosing jogjakarta actually.it's just because we passed through jogja before we arrived at Bandung so we decided to stop by and take a rest.the main reason I choose bandung is because I went there last year for my study tour,and that city is great for shopping !too bad I didn't bring a lot of money so I can't enjoy shopping that time (with all those difficult-decision-situation-thing) so I decided "what if,I ask my mother to go here for annual family vacation so I can GO SHOPPINGGGGGGG heheh.and luckily my whole family aprove my idea so we started our trip at Friday 17th august,yes !on independence day !

so we go on and on and on until just sitting in a car is super boring,everyone was cranky at that time.but  we can't do anything about it,we kept going on and on and on until we arrived at Jogjakarta at about 12 a.m,we decided to stop by and take a rest because we all are soooooo tired. we found this cheap-but-great hotel called Grand Quality hotel.we booked 2 connecting rooms,one with twin bed and one with single king bed.we prepare ourselves before we go to sleep.but not for a long time because at 3 p.m we have to have sahur because it's still ramadhan.but fortunately after that I can go into deep sleeppppp :-D yay !

I woke up at 7 p.m,go to bathroom,do morning activities as usual,and then both of my sisters,and then my parents.we went back on the street at 9 p.m,it's still halfway through.another boring time in the car,but we go on and on and on and on and on again.btw,on our way to Bandung,we decided,why not google a great hotel for our stay in bandung ?so we googled and compared from Novotel,Santika,Ibis and Trans.and this funny thing happened,we already called Santika and booked a family room.and then my sister had this crazy idea to call Trans hotel and asked for the rates.It was not a surprise,the rates are so high,3 million rupiahs a night.and that was a standart room.....so I decided to forget those dreams of living fancy and start counting my blessings

anyway,back to the story.we arrived at Santika hotel at 3 a.m (thanks to GPS) checked in and restttttt because it's quite a journey from Jogjakarta to Bandung (and yes,it's only halfway through) we all woke up,do the same morning activities at 7 pm but sadly,I can't pray because we're all too tired and overslept :( I hope I still get a chance to meet ramadhan next year.anyway,the Eid Mubarak spirit is soooooo on Santika hotel !they served Eid Mubarak's cookies and foods.de-li-cious.the waiters and waitresses also wear hijab and koko so it's a really nice hospitality :-D

anyway,our first trip was Bandung Super Mall,but now they change it to Trans Studio Mall because it is located on integrated area of Trans Studio.AND IT'S HEAVEN ON EARTH I TELL YOU,I mean,Tommy Hilfiger,Boss,Armani Jeans,Mango,Nike,Polo and Ralp Lauren and so much more in one place ????????super cool !I bought this cute red sweater at Tommy Hilfiger which I will post on my next post.we had lunch at the food court which has an 'unique' way for transaction.anyway,there are these waffles and sausages that are unbelievably delicious.we enjoyed the rest of the day at coffee bean,chillin.we went back to the hotel and called it a day.quite nice for day one....

Day two......ah,we went to trans studio !!!!!yippeeeee it's my first time and the studio and everything was so cool that I have to take pictures everywhere !my first ride was.....uhm....ah,something something Bolang,I thought it would be so cool but it was no more than train ride.I'm  not so lucky for the first time I guess.....we decided to visit the science center but my sisters got bored and we went out right before the math region (hah !) and we decided to explore more on the back,which is Magic blablabla and Lost Kingdom.We took a ride on Jelajah at Lost Kingdom and it was super fun and wet !for me,that is the most interesting ride.and we also took a ride on sky pirates which is basically just a train on the ceiling of trans studio (it was an indoor amusement park) that went round and round around the amusement park,we took some great pictures though.we went to magic something something....wait,let's just call it magic world.so we went to magic world,me and my little sister took a ride on dragon...something something.sorry,those names are to hard to remember.and it was quite fun....not as fun as jelajah though.both of my sisters decided to go to ghost house and I'll wait for them outside because I'm a coward (I have to point out my flaws) while window-shopping at the local store.do you want to know what I bought ?wait for my next post.we took a ride on trans studio car racing and it's basically just riding an electric car around circuits that has been determined.so it's not so fun but at least I've tried !my sisters went to Trans Chicken to grab some lunch,after that my little sister decided to sing a song there (which is not a surprise,she is a singer,a good one.)and we go outttt because we are soo tired.we met out parents and decided to go back to hotel,take a rest and then go out to cihampelas walk which is this cool-kinds-outdoor mall :) I didn't buy anything special though but my sister bought so many lovely vintage clothes !at last,we want back to hotel and called it a day

I forgot how many night did we stayed so I'm just going to tell you our destinations.we went to Paris Van Java which is another heaven on earth,my sisters bought cute stuffs on Topshop and I got cute t shirts at Topman,we ate pretzels and do some shopping again.and then we went to Rumah Sosis and eat this delicious grilled sausage (because I'm a sausage lover) and then we went back to the hotel.....my father's friend brought us batagor.I mean....batagor from bandung !these thing are real !! it was quite delicious.before we went back to Malang,I wanted to eat Gehu which is this spicy fried tofu and visited the best local music shop there but unfortunately both of them were closed.so we went straight to jogjakarta,another boring hours inside the car and we finally arrived at 3 a.m in the morning,we stayed at the same hotel and did some shopping !batiks there are really nice and they all came in cute models,I also bought my first teen vogue and I am so excited !the cover was selena gomez,I love it and I'm thinking of getting a subscription.we continue our journey and arrived at about 2 a.m in the morning,I miss my home so much !so that is the conclusion of recreation,to try new things so we will miss our old things,our old daily activities.well,thank god I got a very nice vacation this year.got any idea for my next vacation ?comments ! :)
