Antara Anyir dan Jakarta, kita jatuh cinta (Day 1)

Found some mood to update on Jakarta so here we go :)


The plan to go to Jakarta was initiated a while ago. Since we have Chemi and Syikin who are studying there we thought, aahhh..why not? Life could be a lot easier because we have them to help out with transport arrangement and places to go etc. So bookings are made and on Jun 28th, we flew to Jakarta.


The air ticket costed about RM280 per pax. We flew with the great Malaysian Airlines, bought it using the Get-the-Deal sale like 2-3 months before. Money exchange rate back then was RM100 equivalent to 364K-368K Rp. It was sooooo hard to buy things and kept on converting so we made it easier formula - RM10 = 40,000Rp


We were greeted by quite a few handsome immigration men in Soekarno-Hatta International Airport. Yes, they were the sinetron type guys not the typical Indonesian men we see in our country. After an hour or so Chemi came with Pak Kuncoro, the driver to pick us up. His real name wasn't Pak Kuncoro but we'd like to call him as that (of course only among us lah) until I forgot his real name already. Ngehngeh..

our ride that day :P

From airport, we went straight away to Mayestik, a heaven of fabrics. This place was inserted quite last minute into our itinerary as per requested by Wani but it turned out to be one of our biggest shopping spree. If you are true (Malaysian) woman, you are gonna love this place. Bila masuk tempat ni kau rasa macam ohhh inikah syorgaa (kain) donia and despite the hot weather, we still managed to make sure we stopped by at 60-70% of the shops there.


The prices? I'd say quite cheap and the choices are quite good. Japanese Cotton are priced at about RM7-10 per metre. Chiffon at about RM12-15 per metre (kot?) Laces dalam RM7-8 gitu. Ahhhhh dah tak ingat sangat dah I'm sorry inilah padahnya update after a month ++



Artsy people who loves crafting will also love Mayestik as they offer things like Felt at a very cheaper price - says my friend Ida (go check out her handmade cards - here!)

Since we have a very limited time, we had to kiss goodbye to Mayestik and headed to Taman Mini Indonesia Indah. This is a very large place that combines museums, garden, recreational park and monuments. The entrance fee was Rp25,000 per pax if I'm not mistaken. The place is sooo big. Like big BIG. However we got there pretty late as the museum closes at 5 (the park itself closes at errr 8 ke 10 like that) so we didn't get to enter the traditional houses and stuff. Just took pictures from the outside.

We went back home to change and pray and went out again that night for dinner at D'Cost Seafood. The food was delicious and my favourite was the crispy ikan gurame so yumsss. The Padang dishes was quite good too! We had to go back home earlier that night since we had to prepare for our Bandung trip the next day...
