One Saturday in Cirebon
Sipping on a cup of coffee N'yumba Lungo of Nescafe Dolce Gusto as I'm writing this post in my apartment. One word - It's MASARAP! Intense flavours and with a citrus kick at the end. Not a coffee lover but it's the only coffee drink I enjoy the most so far.
Here comes the full - day guided Cirebon tour which I had been yearning for :D to unwind and had a taste of their local foods =p. First stop of our tour was in Keraton Kasepuhan located in the sub - district of Lemahwungkuk, Cirebon City. it was a great experience to be able to visit the facilities once utilized by the royal family in Cirebon, despite the blazing hot sun that cost us so much sweat and strength.
Keraton Kasepuhan Entrance right behind me
Hindu - styled split gate named Gapura Adi. Looks like I'm in Bali :D
Pakungwati Palace, named after the daughter of Prince Cakrabuwana (the sultanate first ruler) built in 1446.
Kereta Kencana Singa Barong. An old carriage influenced with artistic elements of Hindu culture having a winged horse - shaped body, a trunk of an elephant, a mouth like Garuda and two Naga dragons.
Goa Sunyaragi for our second stop. A memorial cave built by the sultans in Cirebon (1703) as a water palace for meditation and for some military training of Kasepuhan palace . Its name derives from the Javanese language, "sunyi raga" which means peace or silence.
Simply adore this place..very mystical!

Exploring the Green Country of Singapore
Introduction Sorry to start this entry this late. Work has been crazy, trying to finish up my work before posting this blog trip, and I am trapped inside the temptation of gaming world.....Farmville, Diner Dash, Sudoko and many others to mentioned! Thanks to my friend, Anton, who inspired me into the world of blogging..so to spend my time more useful now and more passionate. I’ve flown around here before to processed my working (B)visa last September 2009. The school where I work with sponsored my Singapore Airline's ticket and all other expenses and allowances...what a privileged one! I'm so blessed and fortunate aside from no worries on the budget but it was my first time overseas (or out of the country more like). Directly from the airport, I headed to Hilton Hotel where I had a business meeting with my agent. These photos will serve as memories of the place. Opps!...never mind the date on the picture...it's just like I haven't updated the date in my camera. Sorry f...
Reminiscing the Past: Team Chemistry at Work
Watching the controversial and phenomenal EAT BULAGA KalyeSerye TV Novela "Aldub: Tamang Panahon" held yesterday in Philippine Arena, the world's largest indoor arena, while writing this blog. Doubling up the time I usually spend to come up with a blog post. LOL! Needless to say, I'm fairly intrigued by this new love team in my hometown, Philippines, how thousands of fans flocked into that arena to watch and witness this newly rising stars "Aldub" and on how they even surpassed and smashed the world tweet records!!! Then I kept watching. The Result? MIND BLOWN! Hahaha! No wonder my husband really devote huge chunks of his time to watch their shows in Youtube. Hmmmm (jealous) Wkwkwkwk!!! It's officially one year since our last Cambridge International Examinations for Chemistry Practical for IGCSE and A - Level. This morning, I woke up with a push notifications from my facebook account, some throwback photos our Chemistry team had for the past three ...
A Drive - Thru Taman Safari
We often see a zoo where animals are put behind the bars or the "open concept" kind of zoo in Singapore where the animals are enclosed in their natural settings. But my experienced in Taman Safari I Indonesia yesterday was totally unique where "we" are the one in the cage instead of the wild animals. The cage I'm referring to was our car which we use to go around. It is a drive - thru safari style zoo. Animals are set free and wandering around the car and on the streets. We bought 3 bundles of carrots along the road for only 20,000 rupiahs to feed them. Thanks to the woman selling it, she gave us big discounts for it. All carrots we bought are still fresh. It is pretty neat to feed the animals from our car window. We are asked to close our car windows when we enter the Wildlife Zone. We saw lots of African lion, Bengal tiger, cheetah and others. Some of my male friends at the back of the car are very naughty. They keep on opening the window despite of the park ...
