Verde Resto and Lounge

So here's what I did, when tomorrow is a holiday, BTW, happy hari raya haji :)

 We tried a new place to eat : VERDE. It has a nice atmosphere to it, with various types of themes in one place, it definitely had a modern vibe :). But the place was a little hot for me, and we were surrounded by smokers. *cough2* We ordered 4 pizzas: four cheese pizza, one with salmon, volcano and alicia's spicy chicken pizza. well, the food overall was good. The price was reasonable, for four pizza's, 6 of us paid about RP 35000, without drinks that is. we felt drinks were a little pricey, so brought along a water bottle as back up, since we are still using parent's hard earned money :D

pizza with salmon on it *forgot the name* it was yummy.

 Well, the highlight of our eating session was definitely the VOLCANO, it came shaped like a ball, and they lit it. *wowzers* then they took it back to cut it, it became not so attractive anymore. It was more of the visuals than the taste that wow-ed us. as i felt it lacked of filling. we were practically eating pizza bread for 80% of the time.

you can opt to set the pizza on fire or not, it depends on u.

p/s: life is confusing at times.

Keuken Athelete's Feast

Food! it is a great motivation to exercise.  :D

Well, just recently on Sunday (30th September) there was an athlete's feast held at lodaya, bandung. I was excited, then there was a catch, before going to the food feast, there was a 5km run. *stomach butterflies* being a person who rarely jogs, 5km is a big leap. but for food everything goes :D

We started the run from Cisangkuy yogurt house together with a group of runners (organisation: Indorunners). After having a short yet refreshing warm up session, the fun interactive run started. They definitely stopped a lot to let the slow ones (me) to catch up, they had lots of photo sessions on the way which was nice and the great company! thanks! 

Motto of the run : Reclaim the Street RUN!

We took around 1 hour plus to reach Lodaya, where we were greeted by cheers. awesome experience. We were given free milk from Melken, mineral bottle, a lunch box filled with delicious treats and many more. What more can you ask for just for running a 5km course? nothing...:)

The food stalls were not fully opened yet as we reached at 9am. it was a bit too early. but we got to try ice cream bar wrapped in cookies, which was yummeh.

p/s: love running and in indonesia? try Indorunners!

MTV World Stage

The title says it all. MTV WORLD STAGE is in Sunway Lagoon Malaysia again! OMGeeee. Gee Gee Gee Gee Baby baby baby. :) I went for one of it about 2 years ago. It was so fun as the company and the songs were awesome. What do you expect when the line up, involved Katy Perry and Wondergirls? Perfecto~ Read about it on my previous post : http://uknoewho.blogspot.com/2010/08/mtv.html. They even give cute goodies, a poncho for the rain and a fan for the heat.:)

I will be missing the concert this year. Having a final presentation for my minor thesis on 18th of July. The lineup for this year seems really nice as well. There will be Kara! Jay Park! Mizz Nina! Justin Beiber! Suddenly feel like doing Kara's signature hip shake in their video Step. :D argh. The tickets are normally easily won from competitions, but some people will sell the tickets online too cause sometimes they need the money or they just can't make it. so try getting your tickets! Have a good time. If i were you, i won't miss the chance. :) Visit : http://worldstage.mtvasia.com/ for more info. :)

p/s:
1) Bring an umbrella for the long waiting line as sometimes you will be under the hot sun for quite sometime before entering (1-2hours).
2) While waiting, try and win passes to get in the 'x zone', the one nearer to the stage, but first you have to stand out in the crowd to be chosen to play a game. :)
3) Have a strict and don't mess with me face as late comers will try to squeeze in front of you to get nearer to the stage.
4) Get used to the pushing and touching in the crowd, maybe go with a guy friend or a bouncer?
5) Shout your hearts out! no one cares. :)

songs!

After listening to a song, have you ever had the feeling of smiling widely, dancing freely, jumping up and down, goggling the lyrics of the song and shouting the lyrics out, picking up your pen and start playing the 'drums' on your table, going to the mirror and start to mimic the singer and laughing at yourself at the end of the song. You haven't?  TRY IT. You will feel awesome. :) I wonder whether it feels as good as after drinking alcohol, i bet this is better, no hangover involved. or after accomplishing a bunjee jump? adrenaline rush. :)

Songs that i adore for now:
1) Call Me Maybe- Carly Rae Jepsen
2) Mr Know It All - Kelly Clarkson
3) Jet Lag - Simple Plan
4) Superman - Super Junior
5) Be my Baby - Wondergirls
6) Step -Kara
7) We Found Love - Rihanna
8) Abracadabra - Brown Eyed Girls
9) I am the best - 2NE1
10) many many more :)

p/s: sometimes think before you speak, you may hurt someone.

Hummingbird

hummingbird? a cute bird that loves flowers and that flaps its wings so fast, you start to wonder whether they have wings? nahhh, its actually a restaurant name. ok im lame.
Well, we came here for dinner one fine night to celebrate an early birthday and just hang out. The place was completely full, it was a sunday. We were actually on the waiting list but we ended up taking a table in the smoking area, as we were partially starving. Smoking area = i need a smoke mask puhleaseee~.

We had yummy food, except for some of the food which was a tad salty. The chef must have added a bit more salt than needed. The selection of cakes, are really good too. For a good filling meal it would cost around Rp50000, which is RM 20-25.

Pasta with Bratwurts ( salty)

Hummingfish 

Big portion of Fish and chips

Fried rice

Pastisto, baked macaroni

Coffee chocolate praline? delicious, has a strong taste of rum

stolen!

Bad luck or bad karma or whatever you call it. it happened to me again. this time i never expected it, didn't realize, wasn't alert, completely unaware. :( . someone took my phone? yes! it was a middle-aged lady. i don't even know how she looks like. bummer. hope everything goes 'well' for her! when i broke the news to  my parents i was practically trembling, i always need them to reassure me that its okay, still a mummy and daddy's baby at heart.

Well, actually my post is about how to track down your phone after it has been stolen. I was unlucky, as i didn't know about this before. i'm naive but slowly learning from challenges. Well, its an application that you can install in your phone with the android system. Applications called Contact owner, Where's my Droid?, AVG Antivirus, Plan B. Read on it below, as i never used it before, i'm really not sure how effective it is. I suggest try installing the apps, no harm done. read more about the apps below.

Baksos

Baksos aka Bakti Sosial. Its an event where you give back to society. A group of friends and I, got the chance to be a part of this charity event, which was held recently at Purwakarta about 1 hour away from Bandung. The charity event was held in a primary school and organised by the alumni students of year 1991. It was wonderful, to think that students that have graduated for quite some time, still honor their university and give back to society. 

I gained many things during this charity event, experience from treating children and also new friends. Children are amazing, although sometimes annoying. I have learnt that we can never force a child to do something ( like to extract a tooth) but if they agree to do it, although they feel pain or uncomfortable, they brave through it. :) As there were so many little school kids that came, work had to be done at lightning speed with whatever equipments provided. Good training for dentistry work in rural areas. 

Brushing teeth twice a day, after eating breakfast and before sleeping at night, will help save your teeth! :D
