Hey Indonesia. Hey Jakarta!

I always wanna go to Indonesia. Doesn't matter which part it may be but I just wanna be there.

Frankly speaking, I don't fancy the country (I mean Indonesia is not in my wish list travel destinations) but I just feel like I wanna experience the ambience there. That's it.

Finally, I made it to Jakarta recently even tho it's not a personal trip. I was there for work where I met this most-talked South Korean actor, Joo Won (I'm clearly not a fan but he's nice).

It was a very short & packed trip. I must admit my whole trip was super tiring, it could kill my mood but lucky my level of excitement still tolerable.

All this while, peoples (those who already been there) told me the road is the most disastrous part. Traffic in Jakarta will make you feel like not coming back there/to be grateful with the traffics in Malaysia.

Well, apparently I learned something from my trip there. It's not that always the road being cruel to you. If you lucky enough, you won't go thru such hell. And, I'm obviously lucky.

But my favourite part of the trip was the lodging. We stayed at Keraton by The Plaza, Thamrin Road. At first, I thought it will be just another luxury room but obviously more fascinating than I imagined. Sadly, I stayed only one night there.

Other parts just normal to me. Kuala Lumpur city still way better compared to Jakarta in term of infrastructures.

Here are some of the photos I took during my trip there.

The bed. Uh-mazinggg!



The welcoming tidbits.


The bathroom (the part I loved the most in a hotel room esp bathtub).


My smoking port at 7th floor (where the breakfast place located).

Beautiful Love: Rangga & Cinta!

Back in 2002, there was a movie that everyone's talking about even up until recently. We know a movie is either very bad or very good if peoples keep talking about it for ages. But this one is neither, it's phenomenal! I can say the movie titled Ada Apa Dengan Cinta (AADC) from Indonesia is nothing extra-ordinary when it goes to theme but the storyline was amazingly executed. Yeah, it's a love story but not everyone's type of love tale.

To be honest, I was one of them who found out or rather say didn't really excited about the movie initially. Until one day I was alone and watched it with all focus. I won't lie but yeah I cried, like, really cried. You can tell, that's how touchable the movie directed by Rudy Soedjarwo. No wonder some people can really watch it repeatedly.

It's about a love relationship between two high school student Cinta (played by Indonesia's distinguish actress, Dian Sastrowardoyo) and Rangga (played by Indonesia's heartthrob, Nicholas Saputra). They have like Yin Yang kind of personalities. Cinta is very alive while Rangga is a mysterious guy. But one book change their fate in love. Well, something like that.

However, the ending quite upsetting when the story just stopped with Rangga gone to New York while Cinta remains in Jakarta. Of course, everybody wanna know what happens next. I guess, the director have no plan to do the next sequel and there's no point waiting until this...

I'm glad that finally at least there's a continuation of this after waited sooo long. On another note, I'm not promoting Line here okay.

To AADC fanatics, enjoy!!!!!
