The Choice & The Future

So I can't blogging about travel anymore, because I haven't topic anymore huh. But lemme share about the other side of this blog's lifestyle.

Drawing is my hobby. I love drawing people, a beautiful girl, a girl who wears beautiful clothes. Day by day, I wanted to draw a beautiful clothes, which were unique and different clothes from the other girls'. And one day, I knew the goal of my life. And when I was 14 years old, I realized my hobby is just not an ordinary hobby. Then, I decided to be a fashion designer, a job which I wanna be. It was a job that I can using my hobby and my creativities. Sounds suitable ?

Before see my designs, please read these FAQ.

Q : What app do you use to draw ?

A : Im using S Note by Samsung Note 8 inc.

Q : Why do you love using this app ?

A : Because its simple app, I can drawing, coloring, erasing easily by the Samsung Note's pen. 

Q : Why is the body shape you drawn so thin ? Why don't you draw the model's eyes ?

A : Because I just focus on the clothes' details. Every designers have their own sketch's style, like the neck is too tall, the eyes are close, the legs are unseen, and many more. So this is my sketch's style.

Ciwik Goes to Bandung // Don't Let Me Go, Bandung !

After spent 6 days in Jakarta, our next destination is Bandung. I and my friends stayed at my friend's villa in there and of course it was free, so we can save our money for shopping. Bandung is near Jakarta, maybe need 2 hours to arrive at there from Jakarta. When I was there, the temperature in the morning was 28` C and 24` C in the evening, made us wear thick clothes when we went outside. 

I'm already falling in love with Bandung, I felt wanna stay longer in there because Bandung is the best city for shopping, travelling, and culinarying I think. There're good quality bistros, lil boutique, factory outlets along the city. There's a place named Rumah Mode, it sells cool clothes which are cheaper than the other shops, and they're branded ! Like Zara, Minimal, etc. Maybe they were the undsold items in the past, then the stores move the items to here. When I was there I didn't take photos because I was too busy to shop, lol.

Anyways, we spent 1 day to tear up all of the Bandung's sights. First destination, we went to mt. Tangkuban Perahu in Lembang. Tangkubang Perahu is so popular in Indonesia, when we were here, there were a lot of tourists in there. Korean, Arabian, American, and many more. 

Ps. Don't forget to bring your thickest jacket and a masker, because it'll rain when you can't even predict and smokes sometimes.

This is the best way to capture the best panorama !

Next destination : Tea Field. This tea field products one of the best tea in Indonesia from here, WALINI. I've drank the tea when I was there, and the taste is good ! As a tea lover I bought it and brought it to my home.

And the last destination, we visited Happy Farm, a strawberry field & lil restaurant. The special thing in here is we can choose and pick up the strawberries by ourself. In the end, after you pick up the strawberries, the employee'll wash them then they'll also weigh yours, wrap your strawberries and you should pay how much is that. When we were here, the strawberries were still growing, they were still small, even we couldn't find strawberry in some areas. Maybe it was not right season to visit.

A nice restaurant, my favorite menu is Ayam Penyet. But the Pisang Kipas was delicious too.

Ciwik Goes to Jakarta // Pullman CP, The Art Gallery Hotel

This is the extension of my journey in Jakarta. After I spent 2 days in Mulia Hotel, I and my friends moved to another hotel, Pullman Central Park. There're two Pullman hotels in Jakarta, Pullman Thamrin CBD and Pullman Central Park. But we chose Pullman Central Park because it's damn near Central Park mall, one of the best malls in Jakarta. To arrive at Central Park mall from Pullman, we can go there by foot, because the hotel's location is exactly beside the mall. So I can go shopping whenever I want, I just need 3 minutes to arrive at the mall from my room. This is what the girls totally need !

Besides, I really love the Pullman CP's interior design, its like an art gallery and museum in hotel. From the lobby to the rooms, there're art, art, and arts. The paintings are so unique and cool, the statues are wonderful. I even can't think, where did they get the arts from ?

A painting in my room, I wanna hang it on the wall of my room too :(

When I was in the restaurant to have breakfast, I felt like in a heaven of food. There're chinese food, japanesse food, western food, and of course Indonesian food. Siomay and sushi were my favorite when I was there, they are the best breakfast menu in hotel I think. I enjoyed all of the food, but I said no to the hakao. I thought the hakao was not on good quality. The shrimp was not fresh, I really hate it. I complained it to the manager via Trip Advistor ( an app which is available in apple and android ) and 2 weeks later the manager replied me that he was so sorry about that and he'd not let it happen again. But never mind, I still love the food.

Wonderful panorama of Jakarta from my room, do you think so ?

Ciwik Goes to Jakarta // Culinary.ing

After a long time vacum, Im back. And I have an important announcement. So now Im not a high school student longer anymore, because finally Im graduated ! After the shitty national exam, I threw up my stress by going to holiday in Jakarta-Bandung with my super besties last May. We called our holiday Ciwik Goes to Jakarta lol. 

For the first day, we spent along time just for culinary, culinary, and culinary. Please, don't judge us. For our brunch, we went to Holycow ! Chef by Atit, Senopati. We knew about this because we've searched 'delicious food in Senopati' on Google, and the results was Holycow on the top answer. Holycow isn't only at Senopati but they're at another place in Jakarta. They also open in Surabaya and Bali too. Anyways, why did we choose Senopati ? Because we spent our 2 days in Mulia Hotel Senayan, that's near Senopati. Maybe just 10-15 minutes by taxi. The price starts from 50.000 IDR - 270.000 IDR. And for you who love steaks, you should try this. Why ?

1. In here, you can choose : medium rare, medium, or well done steak. 
2. You also can choose between mash potatoes or fried potatoes.
3. For the sauce, you can choose between mushroom sauce or BBQ sauce.
4. If you order ice lemon tea for your drink, you'll get free refill.
5. Mention @steakholycow on twitter, show them your tweet, and you'll get fresh silky puding.

And the most important. You're having birthday ? So you should go there because you'll get free steak when you inform the employees that day is your birthday, then show your ID card to them and free steak is waiting for you. How cool ! Anyways, I ordered well done Tenderloin Steak with fried potato and without vegetables.

Ps. Don't worry to can't go home from there if you don't bring your private vehicle. Just ask the employee to call taxi which one do you want, and they'll call it for you. Don't forget to give them tips, and enjoy your next destination !

After I and my friends had a delicious lunch, we went to Pondok Indah Mall to shopping. Girls' bad habbit. We spent along day at here, and after we were tired of everything, we came to Blacklisted to have dinner. It's in Street Gallery, the second floor of PIM. I love the atmosphere, the furnitures, the smell, and of course the food. I knew this place from my bestie because her favorite spot is here, and I was not regret of her recommendation. I love all of the foods in here ! There're pasta, soup, salad, steak, burger, sandwich, chicken wigs, and many more. You can call it restaurant or cafe, maybe it's like Excelso. The price starts from 20.000 IDR - 169.000 IDR.

What I and my friends ordered in there :

1. Half of BBQ Chicken Wing and Honey Caramel Chicken Wing for 35.000 IDR. The chicken wings are 8 pcs on the plate. But there're 2 choices if you want the chicken wing. My friends ordered both of them because she couldn't choose between them, so she chose both of them. 4 pcs for BBQ, and the last 4 pcs for honey caramel, and the price is still same. Anyways I prefer BBQ, the taste was delicious !
2. Pink Vodka Farfalle pasta for 88.000 IDR. It's like a bow tie pasta with a super delicious tomato cream and Vodka sauce, with prawns too. If I can come back to this place someday, I'll order this again. Best pasta I think !
3. Open-faced Chicken Schnitzel Sandwich for 65.000 IDR. Damn, its my second favorite food in here. The sandwich is so big, the taste is so awesome and unique. I swear that was the best sandwich I've ever tasted !

Ps. I didn't have drink because we wanted to buy Chatime lol.

Before we came home, we bought the delicious cupcakes. It was Parish Cake Shop. They don't open the bakery in malls, their own shops located alongside the big road in Jakarta. I knew this bakery from television, there were a show and gave reviews about top 5 bakeries in Jakarta, and Parish was the one of the shops. They sell cupcakes, cakes like rainbow cake, red velvet cake, and many more. And the interesting side from here is you can decorate your cake ! They called it Decorate It Yourself ( DIY ). They've prepared the chocochips, choco crunch, whippy cream in white, pink, chocolate, and many more toppings. Anyways I think the bakery was on process construction, because when I saw on tv, the bakery was wide and nice cafe, and the reality when we visited that day, it was so narrow. Because of that we decided to bring them to our hotel.

What I and my friends bought in there :

1. Red Velvet cupcake for 24.000 IDR.
2. Cookies & Cream cupcake for 24.000 IDR.
3. Forgetabble-named-cupcake for 24.000 IDR.
4. Small Sized Cheese cake for forgettable price.
5. Small Sized Dark Chocolate cake for forgettable price too.

From all of these cupcakes I've tasted, I really enjoyed the Red Velvet cupcake. The taste was not too sweet, delicious, and so something. But I didn't like the cheese cake and the dark chocolate cake. I don't know why, maybe because they were not my favorite taste. But after all, I think these are the best dessert after I had lunch and dinner that day. Sweet taste with the wonderful panorama from my window's panorama. 

HOLYdays // Day 5 : Macau Tower

This was the last day of my HOLYdays.

I moved to Beverly Hotel from Crown Hotel because Beverly Hotel is near a lot of restaurants, so we could find food easily. And the important, the hotel is near Grand Lisboa hotel, one of huge and cool hotels in Macau. For me, the best hotels in Macau are Grand Lisboa, Venetian, Galaxy, and Wynn. All of Macau's hotels are nice, altough the rooms are small, but the interior is still great. Macau is so talented of interior design.

So for the second day in Macau, I visited Macau Tower. Macau Tower is near Grand Lisboa hotel, you can see Macau Tower from Grand Lisboa. To arrive at Macau Tower, you can take the shuttle bus from a bus stop near Grand Lisboa, but for this bus you should pay which I forget how much it was. I think Macau Tower looks like Namsan Tower in Seoul and Sky Terrace in Hong Kong, because they'r similiar : we can see the most beautiful view of the city from the highest place ( although I've never been in Namsan Tower Seoul, I just saw it from k-drama hehehe ). In Macau Tower, there are restaurants on the highest floor so you can have lunch / dinner, mini casino ( and still, you're not allowed to enter if you're not 21 ), and a medium mall beside the tower. So you can stay longer in there, maybe spend along the day at Macau Tower. Anyways I was so excited when I was in Macau Tower because Running Man crews've visited Macau Tower a year ago. Because of their show, I know about Macau Tower, the bungee jump, sky walk and many more. You can see their cool adventure here.

So while I was waiting fo the bus, I could see the Macau Tower from here.

Well, you can see the awkward moment behind me... lol

The pass. HK $135 = 126.000 IDR for adult ( anyways sorry for my bad nail ). Before entering the lift to go to the highest floor, you should pay first. There were 3 kinds of tickets you can choose : ticket just for going around the Macau Tower, ticket for going around the Macau Tower + do sky walking, ticket for going around the Macau Tower + do bungee jumping, & ticket for going around the Macau Tower + do bungee jumping + sky walking. When I was here, I chose the first ticket because I was and still afraid of the high lol. Anyways you can have dinner or lunch even breakfast in here with the best scenery of Macau. I didn't take much photos about the sky walk and bungee jump because we aren't allowed to take photos or take video.

Ps. You'll be soooo popular when you do bungee jump because other visitors've prepared their camera to snap you when you fall down lol.

The creepy transparent floor. I freezed to the max when I was standing on that floor to take this photo.

Sunset wannabe.
