FIRST GUESTS to our Jakarta home....

Hi there....sorry for not updating my blog for quite some time. The reason being - I've (or rather we've) been busy entertaining our first guests to our home in Jakarta  - YEAY!!

Ezmir's dad and his brother (babah and aye) flew in on Thursday night (their flight was delayed so instead of reaching here by 5, they got here at around 9pm). Nevertheless, it was soOo nice to have them here to visit us. Aye was extremely excited about this trip (as it was his first trip - alone so to speak).

Anyways, on Friday initially I had asked Ezmir to take leave from work but he had some things to complete and hand over so after breakfast he left for work!! Poor Ezmir. Despite not having ezmir around, and to not waste any of the precious time (with babah and aye around)...we went out SHOPPING!!

The first stop that we went to is a very famous place in Jakarta - Tanah Abang. I'm sure many Malaysians have visited this place (if I'm not mistaken  - this is one of the largest mall in Jakarta) to buy cheap stuff  e.g. indonesian batik, kebayas, lace...and etc.

After our short and brief shopping at Tanah Abang (as usual the place was packed with people from various walks of life), we hopped on a taxi (the infamous bluebird of course) and went home. We also stopped by Restoran Sederhana at Sudirman Park to have lunch (yummm....)

Later in the evening (and our second pitstop for the day) we went to Ambassador Mal (spelt with one "L" here). I'm sure many of the readers here would like to know why I always go to this mal...

1. it's very close to ezmir's office (so I usually go around 4pm and ezmir will meet me there after work)
2. a lotta cheap stuff from handbags, to dvds and etc

We went to this mal to get some dvds for aye and Ezmir joined us there after he finished work at 5.00pm.

Day one  - END.

********************************

It' day two and we're heading off to BANDUNG!!!! Yeay (again). It's been a while since we've been to Bandung  - to be exact about a year have gone since my trip to Bandung last year with ezmir's family. We woke up very early because our driver (sopir) had told us to leave Jakarta very early to avoid the macet.

At 10am we safely arrived at Pasar Baru, Bandung. And another shopping time begins!!!!! After several grab&pay.. we left pasar Baru for factory outlets located in Dago (Jalan Ir Juanda). The crazy shopping mode was still on and therefore after a quick lunch at our favorite burger joint at Level factory outlet (The food was tasty and cheap), we hopped to all the factory outlets along that road.

By 4pm we had to call it a day since it was raining very heavily and believe it or not we ran out of all our MONEY!!! hahahaha

So, enjoy the photos!!

P/s : Can't wait for another group of visitors to our humble small home! Please take note that we are expecting a lot more to come..so my updates here are a bit slow. hehehe
