Back! Haha! As I promise on my latest post here, Now it's time to show the look of my toothless amigurumi. Tada!!! Finally finish my toothles amigurumi just in time! I plan to take toothless to Japan. So, here's the final result for my Toothless amigurumi.

It's a little bit hard to find safety eyes in local store here, but I finally found one, and I got the right colour for Him! I also add eyelid, so he will look more masculine :) I also fix the horns and ears and add pinky nose.

Let's go to Japan Toothles!!

So! I'm back! After neglecting this blog for two months (sorry!). I just came back from my short escape this early December. It was spontaneous, right after I got email from my boss that we will have meeting in Surabaya. I suddenly think, why not go to Bandung after meeting. Haha! And then I ask my boss to divert my flight home to Bandung, and he approved it. 

And the journey begin. It was the right time, because my best friend, Reni, just resign from his office so she have time to hangout with me. This is my first time landing in Husein Sastranegara Airport in Bandung, and it was ok (not like I always thought that it will be scary, because the airport is small and the runway is short enough, hehe!). Reni's employee (yes! she have some people work for her workshop) came and pick me up. 

Arriving at Reni's place, this big monkey greeting me, hehe! Nothing really change with him, but Reni! She now even look more skinny than me (envy!) Hehe. 
Day one in Bandung, I go shopping alone, because it's Reni last day at work. So, she needs more time to say goodbye with her co-workers. The next day, she took me to Garut!

We start the journey alittle bit late, we plan to leave earlier but Mang Sloed (Reni's friend) can't pick us up ealier. So we leave aroung 10am. It was fun way to Garut. I've been to Garut once, but not exploring the city. As you can see, green, mountains and rice field, so peaceful. 
Then we stop for lunch at Padang Restaurant. The wind blow really strong and makes the small plant infront of the restaurant fell down right when I about to enter the restaurant (Haha! lucky it's not fell on me!). I think it was to early to have lunch, why? Because not all the menu ready. Haha! So we just got spicy chiken with veggies, instead Rendang (-_-!). Nom nom, so yumm! 
After finish our lunch we continue our journey. At first Mang Sloed notice that we took the wrong turn, so we go back. They way back was full with trouble, stuck in traffic, tree fell down on the street. Haha! We finally back in the city, and guess what, we got lost! Haha! We ask to the local how to get to Darajat pass. Even one old man write down a map for us. How stupid, right after we got the map for that oldman, we just notice why don't we use GPS on our phone (Haha! So stupid!). 

All the way to Darajat pass (the new way) all you can see is beautiful yellowish rice field.  

And finally we reach Darajat Pass! Welcome Girls! Hehe! The place is not so big, but they make it like a water park but with hot and warm water. So, its time to play in the water!


After about three hours playing around, it's time to go home. The view on the way home also nice. Sorry for blurry pictures, because Mang Sloed drive really fast.
The journey ending as the sun goes down. Beautiful sunset, which I can't capture, lol. Hope to see you again Garut!

It's been a while since I start practicing yoga again. And I feel more good and healthy. In the past few months, I've improving alot and become more flexible. Maybe you have seen it on my Instagram. So this is some of the progress pictures. Now I finally can do headstand! Hehe..
The main goal practicing yoga is healthy, at least I'm trying to set my mind that way, even sometimes I think I do crazy workout to get in shape or skinny ;p. But my teacher always remind me, the main goal is be healthy. Being flexible, strong and in shape it just the bonus for working hard. And it true. And two days ago, we tried acro-yoga class for the first time. It was fun! Can't wait for the next class! 
Let's practice yoga! Because Anybody can practice yoga!
Namaste!

Hello October! Haha! I should have done this post earlier ;p I've been busy preparing for my Japan trip this December. This month, I would like to do some throwback blog posts. For the first post, I will continue my adventure in Busan last year. Yeah, it's been months since my last post about my adventure in South Korea, and now I have to continue what I have started. 

Day-2 in Busan
We woke up a little bit late, and found this two packed rice, noodles and bananas for breakfast in the kitchen. Yeah, Gary already go to work that morning. So, after a little stretching, we are getting ready to explore Busan. So, after having Ramyun for breakfast, we walk along the Haeundae beach heading to... Busan Aquarium!! Yay!! 
If you walk along the beach, you will find this gate and small park before the main enterance to the aquarium.I'm pretty sure this gate says something about the aquarium ;p 

Important - If you show your KR-Pass and Passport to the ticket officer, you will get a discount. And we are really smart! Left our KR-Pass and pasport at apartment -_-! So, I have to run back to apartment, tired -_-!

If you already visit Siam Aquiarium, this Aquarium is pretty small (only three floors). One I notice, since this both aquarium under the same company, they both have a underwater musical show with different story of course (even I don't understand the story hehe). At the end of the tour, you will meet this great hammerhead shark. I thought we got lost because it's pretty short tour, and we going back to 2nd floor with the help of the officer. Haha! Sorry oppa ;p

From Busan aquarium, we decide to go to that island back there. After checking the map, we decide just to walk along the beach. I thought it's close, but the fact, it's pretty far (for my sister), hehe ;p





I saw thia Sun & Fun under the trees and some other places. Gary said in the summer the will spray water throught this thing. Sounds fun!
Finally! We readch Dong-baek Park. We walk around a wooden boardwalk, and there are some observation deck along this walk. The view from this place is so beautiful. The first thing you will find is a statue of a mermaid. This mermaid is relayed the legend of Princess Heo Hwang-ok (허황옥), the first queen of the Geumgwan Gaya. I didn't take picture because we thought we will walk back and see it again. In fact, we keep walking straight forward -_-! Haha!
 
After long walk on the wooden boardwalk, we finally see the Nurimaru APEC House. This house open daily (except first Monday every month) and free of charge. You can see the conference hall and some displays about Korean Traditions, like the food. 






You can also see the Gwangan bridge from this place too ^^. There a traiditional building around this APEC house, but we don't go there becuase my sister already getting crazy because we walk too much, haha! So we trying to find way home (because we thought we lost again!) and find the second cherry blossom there, hehe! I was trying to take nice picture, but that oppa came up fast T_T
Still thought that we are lost, we keep walking and cross the street. We also try to ask where the closest subway to some old people (how silly we are) haha! They just give no sign everytime we try to ask in english. We also try to ask younger people, but still got no answer. So we decide just walk (with my sister complaining) and finally find SUBWAY enterance!!! Yay!! We are safe!!
So, what we do after we finnd the subway?? Hehehe.. I will continue in the next post. 

Speak soon,
