Holiday Blues

.

Yes, it is 2 months earlier (from our 1st Anniversary, the earlier plan is to travel on our 1st Anniversary). But then who cares? Haha. How time flies kan? Saya sangat berterima kasih kepada-Nya kerana masih diberi kesempatan untuk bercuti bersama Suami and I just felt that it was just a perfect timing! If in next 2 months, I would be restricted to fly away as our baby would grow bigger by that time [which I cant wait!]. Ngee.

We managed to spend 4 days and 3 nights during the long holidays (23rd January, 2009 - 26th January, 2009 i.e. CNY) at The Batavia Hotel, Jakarta which is located near to Mangga Dua Shopping Mall and Pluit Mall. The details are as follows :-

Day 1

1.40 p.m (Malaysia Time) : From LCCT to Soekarno-Hatta Jakarta Airport. It was 2 hours flight from KL and we were lucky to arrive 15 minutes earlier than the scheduled time.

2.00 p.m (Jakarta Time / 3.00 p.m Malaysia Time) : Took Silver Bird Taxi to the Hotel which costs us 243,000.00 rp (RM80.00). It took us 45 minutes journey from Airport to our Hotel as there was a massive jam along the road. We reached at the Hotel and just relax. We had our dinner at Restoren Nasi Padang, just a walking distance from our Hotel.

Day 2

We started our day by having buffet breakfast at the Hotel. At 9.00 a.m (Jakarta Time) we went to Pasar Tanah Abang by Blue Bird Taxi. It took about 20 minutes from the Hotel to Pasar Tanah Abang and costs us 30,000.00 rp (RM9.80). The taxi driver was talkative and always remind us to take care on our belonging "sebab banyak bangat pencopet diam-diam di sana", he said.

Owh believe it or not, we love Pasar Tanah Abang as the said air-conditioning 8-Floor complex was so big where every single need was sold there ranked from garments, telekung, tudung, shoes, bags etc. (We shop till drop, ok?) We had our lunch at the food court and continued shopping afterwards till 5.00 p.m. (See, I told you we love it! Hahah!) The Hubby Dearie treated me with a lovely chiffon silk with sulam bunga which I love it so-so-so much! (Thanks Dearie!) That night we just had our dinner at the Hotel.

Day 3

After having breakfast at the Hotel, we went to Pasar Senen by Blue Bird Taxi and from there we took Bajat to Mangga Dua Mall. Bajat only cost us 17,000.00 rp (RM5.50). The Husband Dearie was so excited at Mangga Dua Mall as he could find the DVD copies for only 5,000.00 rp (RM1.60). We had our lunch at Mangga Dua Mall food court and again proceeded to Pasar Tanah Abang (Hahah!) and continued shopping.

We went to Pluit Mall to have our dinner at Wendy's which cost us 120,000.00 rp (RM39.00) for 2 sets of Burger and spaghetti. Then we went to Arked and had fun there! Hehe.

Day 4

Had our breakfast at the Hotel and just packed our things (and prayed that we will not be going charged for the excess luggage. heh!) At 12.00 noon (Jakarta Time) we checked out from the Hotel and headed to the Airport. Thank to Allah, there was no luggage excessed but we had our maximum weight for all the luggage checked in altogether. (Actually we already paid RM110.00 for 40kg check in luggage at LCCT during the first day) Fuh!

6.15 p.m (Malaysia Time) - arrived at KL and were picked up by my Brother, Sister in law and my cutey Little Niece (owh, saya rindu bangat si kecil ini siap mimpi-mimpi lagi di Jakarta and was so excited to meet her!).

So lets catch some photos while we were in Jakarta & KL. Enjoy!
