Become special moments: My 2009’s Trips

Wow, it’s such a long time I don’t update my blog. I’m about to wrap up my Year Trips in 2009. I’m not a traveler, but I think I’m going to start become it, hueheue..It’s kind a pleasure telling about ur trip through the writing. And here, am going to tell u abt mine.

Singapore (May – July 2009)
This is the 1st unconditional country that I attended. Why unconditional? Bcoz I have no intense to travel there even I wanted to. I went to Spore only for transit reason bcoz at that time I had several business trips to Vietnam.
One thing kept on my mind about Spore is that I stayed in Changi airport for a night waiting for the next flight to Jakarta, and I went nowhere there but going around the airport..Boring..Yeah I know such a poor coz I had a chance to explore Spore and I didn’t use it.
Well, at least now I have a plan to have a holiday there for couple days ^o^

Vietnam (May – July 2009)
I didn’t want to go to this country at start bcoz of its internal conflict and the fact that Vietnam is a Communist Country. It was such a long story until I went there.
I stayed In Hanoi near Hoan Kiem Lake © Nguyen The Hai for about 1st 3 weeks. I was surprised bcoz even it is a small city, the place was so clean. The government clean the roads every mornin’, imagine that..I believe we’r far from them in keeping the freshness of the city.

As stated in http://www.wordtravels.com/Cities/Vietnam/Hanoi, I enjoyed staying in Hanoi. Love the food so much, very tasty, but unfortunately it’s kind a hard for moslem to find Halal foods. This city of lakes gave me lil’ bit relaxation juz by sat under the trees around the lake.
Week 1, I went to Halong Bay, one of the World Wonders of nature finalist. It was nice. I went with average boat in private, hohoho..really nice view and food. I entered Sung Sot cave which full of lamps.

Week 2, for Perfume Pagoda. U can read the review in http://www.footprintsvietnam.com/Destinations/Perfume-Pagoda.htm. I like the way to go there bcoz we had to take the boat and cross the river to go there. Up in the mountain, exist Temples under the cave. I didn’t really like being there bcoz of the smokes. Ooh, i have new little girl friend, she's 9 year old & called Nina. She & her mom comes from California traveling arround the world (am jelous am jelous >o<)

Week 3, we were going to Ho Chi Minh museum (don’t know exactly it’s name) near the President Palace in Hanoi. Quite nice, they really maintain it nicely. Ooh i also met a new friend, he's a France called Ilyes Ayari, a really nice person ^o^

The conclusion of the trip is I like Hanoi, love it except the food contain pork (which almost every food contain it) and the people (read : my client), hihihi ^o^

East Java – Surabaya – Jember – Bromo (July 2009)
A week after I went back home, I went to Jember attended Ulan & Nino’s marriage. I went with Team Guyz consist of Mayang, Tee, Shinta, Tiwi, Ratih, Sasha, Intan, Kadek, & Manik. Not only come into Ulan’s marriage, we’re also went to Bromo. Not much I can say except beautiful. The mountain was so beautiful. We’re lucky coz the weather was clear and the sunshine hasn’t risen at the time we arrived.

Lombok - Bali (November 2009)
Last trip are Lombok and Bali. I have so many things to say about this trip.

Lombok
I didn’t know much about Lombok before go there. Tiwi is the one who convinced me to go there. Well, I was wavered to chose between going to Singapore or Lombok – Bali. She convinced me by gave me lots of review about them. Then I agreed to to there with my friends.
Funny thing is, they, who went with me to Lombok – Bali were stranger each others, except with me. I went with Tiwi, Jere, Ratih, Robin Tjap & Robin Olisa. They didn’t know each other except Ratih & Robin Tjap, coz they are couple (huuu, u guyz made us jealous, it was like ur pre-honeymoon, huh, hihihi..).
Lombok was incredible, amazing, beautiful and loveable and all amazed things that words can say. I love Lombok. I love the seashore, I love the air, the water, I love the citizen, I love Lombok..!! Oh, except the weather bcoz it was too hot. It burnt my skin, huhu ToT

We stayed at Gili Trawangan, one the the small island in Lombok for 3 days. Day 1, we were cycling with rented bicycle through the island. It took about 3 hours rode it. Day 2, we snorkeled through 3 Gilis, Gili Trawangan, Gili Meno and Gili Air.
We spent the night by walking around the café, yeap café. There are many cafes provided may food, especially seafood (of course) and Mushroom beer.
Maybe u can’t imagine what I wrote here, I juz can say, see it by urself ^o^

Bali
Day 3, we went to Bali from Lombok. Well, Bali didn’t impress me much, maybe because I went to Lombok 1st and it amazed me ^o^. Day 4 & 5, We went to many Temples from Bedugul, Kintamani, Monkey Forest, Tanah lot, Dreamland and Sukowati. Day 6 we rented motorcycles and goin' arround Kuta where Jere was't able to drive it at all & that was his 1st time drive while i was as his passenger (praying when he was driving it) , hihihi..
Bali..not much i can say coz i bet all of u been there, hihihi ^o^
