Exploring Indonesia: Mount Galunggung

Hi all! It's been a while, a long, long while since I last updated my blog. How's life?

Here I am sitting in front of my laptop, blogging about my trip in Indonesia with my newly acquainted friends that I just met in Plaza Semanggi last week.


There wasn't much planning involved prior landing our feet on this quaint and beautiful piece of historical land.

Hiking at 3AM, the earliest amongst all.



So funny to say that I'm just wearing a thin long sleeve shirt, skinny pants and a pair of flat shoes while my other friends are all geared up for it. Huh!I'm freezing to death during the trip seriously. :(

Oh dear, my poor shoes. Huhuhu!

We visited the Kampung Naga of Tasikmalaya in West Java. We somehow managed to explore the village which initially known as "The Dragon Village" and climbed 620 stairs to the Mount Galunggung early Sunday morning. We barely rested enough with just a few hours of sleep. The consequence is, I overstretched my leg muscles for climbing too fast and ended up walking like a granny for the following days.


Mount Galunggung, a strato volcano with its charming greenish crater lake.

Just so nice.........



.................and chilly up the mountain.


Overall, the mountain hiking experience was divine. A beautiful Sunday morning rejuvenated by nature and lovely company. We had the perfect weather and scenic views to pleasure our eyes although my jelly legs hurts so bad.


Alright, here comes the end of the post and it's time for a bubbly shower. Happy weekend everyone!!! xoxo

Quick Getaway with Mom at Manleluag Spring National Park

Image
I rarely get to spend quality one-on-one time with my mom because of my busy schedules and an ocean away from her since I'm working abroad, but we managed to take time off for a much needed mother-daughter bonding time recently at Manleluag Spring National Park, Mangatarem Pangasinan. Two swimming pools of this protected landscape are filled with warm, mountain water that was really soothing to the nerves and soul. So I think Mom would love it! Happy to see her smile that day with all the gorgeous snaps ;) Look Up style according to Mom. :D :D :D We were both really refreshed and rejuvenated after the short dip at the pool, and so glad for the precious time there together! Gonna make it a point to bring her back more often ;) Afterwhich, because we were really close by, we decided to drop by to my mother - in - law's place for a quick snacks and to witnessed the birthday celebration of my husband's niece. Party!!! Party!!! Party!!!

On our way out to the Singapore Botanical Garden, attractions never ends. The views are very amazing which made us to take more photos before it rain. Spotted many freestanding sculptures which adds life and humour to the site's natural grace. FREDERICK CHOPIN, the most eminent Polish composer   Overlooking to this was the Shaw Foundation Symphony Stage, where music enthusiasts regularly gathers there for some orchestral performances.   Girl on a Bicycle   Girl on a Swing, sculptured by Sydney Harpley, R.A The exuberant "Swing Me Mama" The Swiss Granite Fountain    There are more delighted artworks but it seems the rain can't no longer wait for us and so we spent the hours back again in the Botany Centre while waiting for the rain to stop. Spotted different styles of Christmas tree and decors. The Clock Tower of Singapore, a gift from the Patron Lady Yuen - Peng McNeice, December 1998. Christmas spirit is on the air. I was surprised only few people visit this place c

Hotel Lisboa Stopover

It's been a month ago before I have shared to you this - my travel experiences in Macau last 29th of June with my family. Sorry about that guys. I've been pretty busy preparing my students for their upcoming Cambridge examination in Chemistry this October/November. I was assigned to trained them well for their Paper 1, 3 and 5 skills area. Lots of my surprise, all of them were taking my subject and had dropped other subjects like Biology. Well, pretty impressive but hope to God to bless all our hard works and preparations for this examination and get more A* compared to last year...:) Time for break....So thankful for this 12 - day refreshing break. I've got ample time to unload myself for all the paper works, to unwind and also to update my blogs :) As I go along, I'll share with you all the free rides we had experienced in Macau. Try it on your next visit in Macau....it's fun! ************************************************************************************
