Jakarta TriP!!!

yeah!!! i just came back from my trip to jakarta!!! i'll post about my trip right away... here we go!!!

i went to jakarta with my mother, my younger sister, and my younger brother.

we went to jakarta from our city, bandung, at about 9 am, and got there at about 11 am. as soon as we got there, we went to one of the malls in jakarta, the plaza senayan, to see the hello kitty thing.

well, i was obviously dissapointed. i thought the hello kitty thing will be a big hello kitty festival, but it turned out to be just a square where they sell hello kitty clothes, and there's a stage where we could take our photos with the "hello kitty"... well, we saw the notice saying that the "hello kitty" will be there at 1.05 pm, which is 2 hours away. so we decided to go to the other mall just across the road, the bigger and newer version of plaza senayan, the senayan city.

well, we did some window shopping and actual shopping, and ate at a restaurant there, the betawi cafe. and there an ice-cream booth there, the cream fudge. mmmmmm, it was like a heaven on earth!! hahahahah... well, we went back to plaza senayan at about 1.30 pm.

nothing special there, there just a buch of little kids wanting to take their pictures with the "hello kitty". aaargh, i'm bored. as soon as i finish my BIG ice cream, we got out of there.

next destination, pantai indah kapuk's waterboom!!

we got there at about 3 pm, and we queued to buy the ticket. god, there, was a LOT of people, and i really mean it. a LOTSA of people there... after waiting for my mom and brother to buy the ticket, we went inside. well, i'm not too curious, cuz i've been to bali's waterboom, and it's much more interesting there. well, this one has it's own interesting slides, afterall. oh yeah, the waterboom's name, both bali's and jakarta's, are waterbom. simple, isn't it?

after playing for a while, we finished at about 7 pm, and we went to senayan city again, this time we ate at Pho 2000, a viet restaurant. after that, we went to some walking around again, and about 10 pm we went to our hotel.

we stayed at sheraton media hotel. it was a good hotel. we stayed at the same room... whew, i couldn't sleep well at all!!! aaaaa....

the next day, i woke up at 6.30 am, cuz i couldn't sleep well... i took a bath and a shower, brushed my teeth, etc etc...

well, at about 10 am we went to WTC mangga dua to see a japanese festival!! yahoo!!

man, what a dissappointment!!! again!! the band competition was already over when we got there, it was actually held yesterday, and the cosplay will be held tomorrow!! aaaaarrrghh... so i just bought some CDs and after a while walking around, we went to another famous mall in jakarta, the mal taman anggrek, or MTA. it was about 12 pm there.

these are some photos i took there...







the stage...




well well well... there was also a festival at mta!! i didn't know about this, this is a gaming festival. those games are from a company named Lyto, who wanted to promote their newest game, the idol-street. that's why the festival also named the idol-street festival 2008.



photos... the band performing there was the nox, they played their own song. it was an indonesian band singing indonesian songs... don't really like them...





there i took a walk around with my bro, my sis went to try the idol-street game, and my mom went somewhere. after a while, we went to a resto called the little penang, and ate there. we went for a walk around again and at about 5 pm, we went back to the WTC cuz i wanted to see some guest band performances.

we got there at 6.30 pm cuz of the heavy traffic jam. and there was a band called the endless rose performing. it seems that i have seen this band at ciwalk bandung... i don't like them when they performed at ciwalk... well, the next band is toshi ishitani's band. consisting of several old cracks, they played very well!! the most shocking one is when they played the song "benci bilang cinta" and when they played the song "kucing garong", a dangdut song... well, they are japanese people!! so it was very shocking... they are very attractive (almost embarassing ^^), more attractive than all other bands, although those other bands consisted of young people.










kucing garong in action!!!

the next band is junon. i don't know what song did they play, they played about 4 songs, the only one i know is the last one they played, reila by the gazette.





the last band was private joker!! this band is awesome!! the lead guitarist, the long haired one, played the guitar as if it was his own body... very skillful play!!! now i know why this band was put on the last performance today!

i don't know what songs did they play though...








this is the @$#%?!& guitarist... awesome!!!

though this band will not play for a long time cuz the voc will be going abroad...

at about 10 pm, my sis and bro who don't like japanese music, begged me to go home, although private joker hasn't finished their performance... well, i can do nothing cuz my mom also asked me to go home...

that finishes the trip... we got home at about 12 pm...

ok then!! nyappy~~~~
